CH 129

After leaving the Academy with Shisui, Kanpū met Iruka, Anko, Tsukasa, Kotetsu, and Izumo who were waiting outside the Academy’s gate.

“Looking at their expressions, they should have passed the exam successfully.” Iruka said with a smile, “Congratulations!”

“Kanpū, Shisui, I can’t bear to part with you.” Kotetsu and Izumo opened their hands to embrace them, but Kanpū stopped in disgust, and decisively pushed Shisui into the arms of the two brothers.

“Since you passed it smoothly, let’s go eat red bean paste to celebrate!” Anko shouted from the side.

“Shisui-kun is the best~” Tsukasa squeezed out Kotetsu and Izumo while holding the little puppy, and looked at Shisui with a blushing face.

“Thank you.” Shisui smiled and said, “Then I and Kanpū treat with everyone today.”

“Let’s go to Futaki Ramen.”

Kanpū is a figure carrying a huge amount of money now, so it’s hard for him to go to eat free on his own restaurant.

“Really, it’s either crayfish or ramen. It’s clear that red bean paste and dango are the best food in the village!” Anko said loudly.

It’s a pity that the red bean trend is over, and she can only follow these stinky men to eat ramen.

Everyone was laughing and chatting all the way to Futaki Ramen. Because it is not time for dinner yet, there were not many customers in the restaurant. The group of seven people pulled two small square tables and sat down together.

“Seven bowls of miso ramen!”

Kanpū waved his hand like a rich person, “Big portion!”

Kanpū found 500,000 ryō in the bandit’s village. He handed over 200,000 ryō to Hiruzen in his office, and earned the difference through middlemen, and his assets reached 300,200 ryō.

“Kanpū, after graduation, you will be divided into teams. Has the teacher announced the list?” Iruka asked.

“Not yet, we have to wait until tomorrow.” Kanpū said, “There are only eight people who passed the exam this time, I wonder how it will be divided.”

“Sandaime-sama should be adding a person to even the number!” Shisui said, “Among the freshmen who graduated last year, I heard that some of them have not been assigned to a team.”

“Is it because they are too strong?” Tsukasa asked with bright eyes.

“It may also be because their strength is too bad.” Shisui rarely made a joke.

After the group chatted for a long time, the waiter came to their table with seven bowls of ramen.

“I’m gonna start now!”

Iruka grabbed the chopsticks and folded his hands together, then drank the soup eagerly, but then he frowned, “This soup doesn’t taste right!”

“Too much salt?”

Kanpū took a sip of the soup and frowned, “Isn’t it miso ramen?”

“I don’t think there is any difference.” Anko couldn’t tell the difference at all.

Shisui looked up at the bar next to the them, and said: “I didn’t see Teuchi-san, this shouldn’t be the ramen he made.”

Kanpū wind was startled and looked towards Iruka, who was also confused.

“Waiter!”

Kanpū hurriedly called a waiter and asked about Teuchi.

“That guy Teuchi quarreled with the store manager again because of the price, so he didn’t come today, but don’t worry, you can see him tomorrow.”

The waiter explained with a smile.

A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, and he asked again: “Excuse me, after the New Year, how many times have Teuchi-san and the boss quarreled?”

“Well…”

The waiter pondered, and then said, “Speaking of which, it has indeed been done many times, especially in the past two weeks, it feels like there are quarrels every day.”

Kanpū’s eyebrows twitched, and he had a vague premonition: ‘Teuchi-san is about to establish his own shop!’

‘In other words, the legendary Ichiraku Ramen is about to open?’

‘Ryūmyaku mission is also about to begin?’

Kanpū was a little flustered. With his current strength and reputation, Minato would never take him to the ancient kingdom of Rōran. If Ryūmyaku is sealed…

Kanpū became anxious.

He tried hard to recall the plot of the Ryūmyaku mission, and suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the day Ichiraku Ramen opened, the sun was shining, and Kakashi and others were wearing very cool clothes, so it should be in the spring or summer.

Today is the last day of February and the last day of winter, but the temperature is still hovering around 0 degrees Celsius.

It will take at least a month or two for the temperature to warm up in the spring!

Thinking of this, Kanpū couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief: ‘There is still time.’

After eating the ramen, everyone went shopping together, and they went home after playing until after ten o’clock in the evening.

Kanpū originally wanted to refine Chakra, but considering the grouping tomorrow, he had to resist the temptation and sleep.



Early the next morning, at 7:50 in the morning.

Academy’s Grand Amphitheater.

Kanpū arrived ten minutes earlier, only to find that the others had already arrived. Kanpū looked around and found that there were no less than ten people sitting scattered in the classroom.

‘It seems that Shisui was right yesterday. Among the freshmen who graduated last year, there are still people who have not been assigned.’

“Kanpū, here.”

Sitting in the first row, Shisui waved at Kanpū.

Not long after Kanpū sat down, an awe-inspiring thirty-year-old woman walked in.

“Hyūga Ueki, Ichiro Miyamoto, Tanaka Nakano, follow me.”

The middle-aged spoke in a low voice, and after saying that, she didn’t wait for the others to respond, and turned around and walked straight out.

Kanpū looked back and saw three people including the Ueki stand up from their positions and followed after her quickly.

“It’s Ohashi-san!”

“I heard that her Taijutsu is very good!”

“She’s an experienced Jōnin, I’m so envious!”

There were a few murmurs behind him, and it is not difficult to guess from their tone that this Jōnin named Ohashi is very strong!

But what makes Kanpū confused is that… Ueki and Shisui, who are both graduated from the second year’s Class 1, are not assigned to the same team!

Kanpū secretly slandered that this must be Sandaime Hokage, who is afraid that Hyūga Clan and Uchiha Clan will get too close.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside.

The person who came was dressed in a white-gray turtleneck trench coat, sunglasses, and a standard Aburame Clan’s dress code.

“Uchiha Shisui, Aburame Yui, Gekkō Kanpū.”

After Shikuro called the three names, he turned into hundreds of insects, and with buzzing sounds, they flew outside the classroom.

“Follow them!”

Shisui shouted, and then quickly jumped from his position to keep up with the group of flying insects.

Kanpū’s reaction is not slow, as he also jumped up as soon as Shisui moved.

Then. Yui also jumped out.

The insects flew very fast. After coming out of the teaching building, they flew straight towards Hokage Rock, and they flew higher and higher.

Insects are originally small, and they can’t see clearly if they fly a little higher. Fortunately, both Shisui and Kanpū have dynamic vision, so they can barely capture the figure of the insects.

The three of them sprinted all the way, crossed the vast crowds, climbed over the walls and terraces, and finally arrived under the Hokage Rock after more than half an hour!

And the group of flying insects has already flown to the Hokage Rock.

The three of them looked up and saw that the Hokage Rock was a steep cliff, about ninety degrees and more than a hundred meters high. The surface is uneven, especially the stone statue of the Hokage’s faces, which are protruding from the cliff, looking extremely steep from the bottom up!

“Is this a test for us?” Kanpū adjusted his breathing, guided the Chakra to the soles of his feet, and walked directly onto the cliff.

Shisui smiled and reminded: “Be careful!”

Then, he stepped on the cliff and walked up.

When the two walked more than 20 meters in silence, Kanpū’s brows suddenly wrinkled, as he felt that something was missing, he stopped, and his whole figure stuck on the cliff like a nail. Then, he turned his head and looked towards Shisui, who was walking beside him.

“What’s wrong?” Shisui asked in confusion.

“Uh, nothing.” Kanpū shook his head, ‘Perhaps it’s just an illusion.’

Then the two continued to go up, and walked up for another 20 meters before stopping at the same time, and then turned their heads to glance at each other.

‘Something is indeed missing!’

The two looked back and saw a lonely figure standing under the cliff.
