CH 101

After the big battle, outside the small forest.

“What? Kanpū, you actually applied for early graduation?!”

“Really?”

“Why?”

After sparring with Shisui, Kanpū’s application for early graduation could not be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it, after all, it was not a shameful thing.

“The world is so big, and I want to go see it.”

Just after a ‘battle’ with Shisui, Kanpū, who is still in his dignity, took the opportunity to brush up on famous sayings and build a strong character.

“Damn, I’m going to apply for early graduation too!”

Unfortunately, Anko completely ignored Kanpū and clamored, “If even Kanpū can apply, so can I!” “

“Anko, although Kanpū has already applied, he has to pass Yu-sensei’s theory test before he can take the graduation exam.” Iruka said.

“My theoretical knowledge is definitely better than a certain someone!” Anko pointed at someone confidently.

“It’s a test that contains the theoretical knowledge of all the six years.” Iruka said.

‘Then he will definitely fail!’

Fatty, who was also here, was overjoyed, but soon after the joy, he felt depressed: ‘Now that I think about it, if Gekkō Kanpū graduated early, I don’t have to see his annoying face all day long!’

“That’s right!” When Anko heard it, she responded with the same words as Fatty, “Then Kanpū will definitely fail!”

Kotetsu and Izumo also seemed to think the same thing.

“Hey hey hey!”

Kanpū is not happy, “You guys are too much!”

‘Are you guys really my friends?’

“Hmph, I am just telling the truth.” Anko said proudly.

Shisui asked strangely: “Is there a theory test to apply for early graduation?”

“No, it’s just that our head teacher, Yu-sensei attaches great importance to theoretical knowledge.” Iruka explained.

“So that’s how it is.” Shisui understood.

Near noon, the group of eight were a little hungry. After the heated discussion between Anko and Iruka, in the end, the miso ramen of Futaki Ramen crushed the red bean balls + red bean paste set with seven votes!

“Tsukasa, even you wanted to eat ramen…” Anko felt betrayed.

“I’m sorry, Anko, I’m just, I’m just…”

Tsukasa looked tangled and she hugged the little puppy, Shiramaru, and her eyes are drifting to Shisui from time to time.

Anko sighed, ‘Well, it can’t be helped with her like this.’

“Iruka.”

On the way to Futaki Ramen, Kanpū pulled Iruka to the side and asked softly, “Is Teuchi-san still in Futaki Ramen?”

“En!”

Iruka nodded affirmatively, “Last night, I went to Futaki Ramen to have supper and saw him!”

“Aiya, your nightlife is very rich.” After Kanpū got the positive answer, he couldn’t help but teased him.

“What? I went with my parents.” Iruka looked at Kanpū with a strange look in his eyes, and asked, “But then again, Kanpū, aren’t you too concerned about Teuchi-san?”

“Because I think Teuchi-san is very similar to me!” In an instant, Kanpū thought of a rhetoric that could perfectly dispel Iruka’s doubts.

“What?”

Iruka has a question mark on his face.

Kanpū explained: “In my opinion, Futaki Ramen is no different from the Academy. Although it has nurtured Teuchi-san, but with the strength of Teuchi-san, staying at Futaki Ramen will only waste his talent, and leaving Futaki Ramen early is the ultimate destination of Teuchi-san! Just like I applied for an early graduation!”

“Uh…”

Iruka’s forehead overflowed with three black lines, “Kanpū, aren’t you thinking too much?”

Kanpū glanced at Iruka and complained in his heart: ‘You are not convinced by such a perfect reason?’

While talking, everyone has already walked through the streets and arrived at Futaki Ramen.

On the first day of the New Year, Futaki Ramen was also full of energy. A huge discount banner is hung outside the store, and there is also a wooden billboard placed below, which has a lot of ramen illustrations.

“Ramen is 1% off during the New Year Holidays!”

Kotetsu looked at it and exclaimed, “This is… too stingy!”

A 1% discount is no different from the full price!

Iruka sighed and said: “In fact, Futaki Ramen has been increasing their prices every year in the past few years, and also, they have increased the prices again three days before the New Year…”

“No way?”

Kotetsu was dumbfounded, and was shocked by Futaki Ramen’s way of operation.

“This is too much of a pitfall.” Izumo said, “Aren’t they afraid that all the guests will leave?”

“No, Teuchi-san’s ramen is really delicious, so even if the price goes up, there will still be customers.” Iruka said.

“Then, are we still going?” Tsukasa asked, but her eyes were looking at Shisui.

“Sure enough, it’s better to red bean balls and red bean paste!” Anko refuse to give up her idea, and encourage everyone.

“Let’s be extravagant on the first day of the New Year.” Kanpū waved his hand, “Let’s go eat ramen!”

The group entered Futaki Ramen. It was noon at this time, most of the tables in Futaki Ramen are already occupied by diners, and the rich aroma of the Ramen permeated the entire store.

The signature player of Futaki Ramen, Teuchi-san is so busy that he can’t even open his eyes.

When the group looked around to find an empty seat, Kanpū suddenly saw a familiar back.

The bright green is really eye-catching!

‘Eh wait!’

Kanpū discovered that Guy is not alone. On his small long table, there are also three people sitting, two women and one man!

Because Guy is facing Kanpū, Kanpū can only see the faces of the two people sitting opposite Guy, a man and a woman, the female has a pair of red pupils, and the male has a scallion-like hairstyle. With the square-shaped face, he looks like a pineapple at first glance.

‘Kurenai, Asuma!’

Kanpū instantly guessed the two’s identity.

“There is a place over there!”

With his sharp eyes, Shisui found two empty tables at a glance, and walked there first.

Coincidentally, the two empty tables happened to be behind Guy’s table.

Kanpū followed everyone, and when they passed by Guy’s table, he looked back at the woman sitting next to Guy.

‘That face…’

Kanpū soon thought of a name: ‘Shizune!’

The scene of Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, Shizune and the others queuing up to eat ramen on the opening day of Ichiraku Ramen in the movie version of the original work instantly appeared in Kanpū’s mind

“Yo, it’s you!!”

When Kanpū was absent-minded, Guy subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him. He instantly recognized Kanpū with his ‘powerful memory’, stood up from his seat instantly and pointed at Kanpū, “Gekkō Kanpū, long time no see!”

At this moment, Kanpū came back to his senses, and looked at Guy with a… moved expression: “Guy-senpai, you finally recognize me!”

“Of course, speaking of which, I have to thank you for your idea last time, Kakashi really agree to my challenge! Moreover, we are the same kind of people, we sweat and burn our Youth for our own dreams, I…” Guy’s mood is surging. He gave a thumbs up while speaking, and a certain tooth at the corner of his mouth was shining brightly.

However, Kanpū must interrupt him!

“Guy-senpai, my dream actually ended after Dr. Shinnō left.”

Kanpū said, “My current dream is to become an outstanding Shinobi!”

“Huh?”

Guy looked at Kanpū with a surprised look on his face, “Kanpū, you… this is not acceptable! Since you have decided to become an excellent doctor, how can you give up because of the departure of Dr. Shinnō? Youth won’t allow… “

“Hey, Guy, you are too serious.”

Asuma suddenly interrupted him lazily, “Hurry up and eat your ramen, don’t you still want to go train Taijutsu?”

“Ah, yes.”

Guy finally glanced at Kanpū and said, “No matter what, don’t give up your dreams!”

“Thank you, Guy-senpai.” Kanpū politely thanked him, and then glanced at Shizune, Kurenai, and Asuma. The three of them were eating noodles, laughing and talking to each other from time to time, and they didn’t pay too much attention to a certain someone.

Not long after Kanpū sat down with Iruka and the others, Guy, Shizune, Kurenai and Asuma got up and then left after paying.

Kanpū watched them leave, and sighed silently. When Guy stood up just now, Kanpū thought that Shizune, Kurenai, and Asuma would take advantage of the situation and ask him who he is, whether he was good at the Academy, and whether whether he was talented or not, and then asked if he wanted to team up with them to train together…

But from beginning to end, except for Guy, no one else took the initiative to speak to Kanpū.

‘What the hell~’

‘Sure enough, all those novels are deceptive!!’

In the novels he read, as soon as the protagonist comes out, say a few words of insight, or say a few words to a certain character, other characters such as Kakashi, Obito, Kurenai, Asuma, etc., will take the initiative to come over and be acquainted to him, make friends and form a team… But this kind of thing is impossible to happen in real life!

‘Forget it, I’d better watch these little friends in front of me and spend the last three months of Academy’s life well.’
