CH 237

Kanpū’s surrender caused a lot of dissatisfaction among a large number of civilian audiences. They felt that Kanpū’s performance just now crushed Shige, and if someone needs to surrender, it should have been Shige.

Those who protested, those who were dissatisfied, those who calling it shady, and those who lost money gambling, the crowd outside the railing are quarrelling among themselves. Occasionally, some sane rational civilians and Shinobi explained loudly that Kanpū surrendered was because his Chakra was exhausted, but they didn’t listen at all.

Yui looked at the crowd around her in confusion and asked: “Uncle, Kanpū’s fighting style is obviously different from before. Did he do it on purpose?”

Kanpū’s previous battles were always old and wretched. Either hiding in the dark or letting Shisui go first, but now, he turned into a battle fort and threw ninjutsu frantically, completely fighting like a madman.

“Who knows.”

Shikuro silently looked at Kanpū who walked off the field. He doesn’t know when it started, but it seemed that he couldn’t see through this former student of his, or maybe, he has never saw through him.

At the same time, Tsunade, who was in the crowd, finally won a bet. She happily exchanged a large sum of money from the Chrysanthemum Gambling Hall and won back all her previous losses!!

‘With money in hand, the world is mine!’

The flag, that Tsunade has just set up before, has been completely forgotten, and she chooses to take advantage of her good luck now, and continued gambling!

…

Under the main stand.

After Kanpū came back, he was surrounded by Reifū, Yuki, and Yama.

“Kanpū, what’s wrong with you?”

“After fighting for so long, there is no fighting rhythm at all!”

“Is it because you’re too nervous?”

The three started criticizing and educating him one by one, and they all felt that Kanpū’s battle just now is too rough. If he was replaced with them, they should adopt a sustainable fighting method. Even if it’s a slow grind, Shige will still be defeated!

Kanpū interrupted them with a dry cough and said: “The purpose of this match is to select Chunin. It has nothing to do with winning or losing. As long as you perform well, you can pass, so there is no need to fight to the death with the Shinobi from the same village.”

When the three heard it, they felt that what Kanpū said was very reasonable, and they didn’t know what to say for a while.

Then the match continues. More than fifty Genin fights against each other, from the morning to the afternoon before the competition ends!

The continuous battle has already caused the crowd outside the railing to experience aesthetic fatigue. Many people have already left in the middle, including Tsunade.

Tsunade never imagined that she would lose five times in a row as soon as she won once. After going bankrupt on the spot, Tsunade left here dejected.

Walking on the road, a girl with short black hair suddenly stopped her: “Tsunade-sama.”

“Huh?”

Tsunade was startled, thinking that the people in the gambling hall recognized her disguise, and when she looked up, she realized that it was Shizune.

""

“Shhh!!”

Tsunade hurriedly motioned Shizune to lower her voice. After all, she turned into old woman just to hide from her debts.

Shizune looked helpless: “Tsunade-sama, I have advised you not to gamble anymore.”

“Tell me, what are you looking me for?” Tsunade said with a snort.

“Tsunade-sama, something big happened!!”

Shizune took a deep breath and said, “The information just came from the Kirigakure Battlefield. Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Hōzuki Clan, Kaguya Clan, and the other Kirigakure’s Shinobi attacked our main camp. The Uchiha and Hyūga Clan suffered very badly. It is said that… it is said that even Hyūga Clan’s Main House Elder, Hyūga Nobuyuki has also died.”

“How can there be no dead on the battlefield, what’s so strange about it?”

Tsunade said in a low voice, as if thinking of her younger brother and his boyfriend who also died on battlefield, but soon she smiled.” Shizune, do you have money?”

“Huh?” Shizune was startled and nodded subconsciously.

“That’s great, hurry up, lend me some money. I’m lucky today, so I should be able to win another one. As long as I win this one, I will definitely not gamble anymore today!” Tsunade’s eyes glowed as she looked at Shizune.

Shizune’s heart felt very tired. She has a deep understanding of how bad Tsunade’s luck is. If she lends her money to Tsunade, there will be no return.

But since the words have already been spoken, and there’s no way Shizune can reject…

Reluctantly, she had no choice but to pull out her purse and said, “Tsunade-sama, you can’t bet like this, let me help you manage your finance in the future!”

“No, I refuse!”

Tsunade is very smart. She knew that if Shizune manage her money, she will never be able gamble anymore.

When the two stood on the street arguing about the future ownership of the “gambling money”, the Chunin Exams was all over.

The list of those who are promoted will be released tomorrow, so after the competition, Kanpū went back with Reifū, Yama, and Yuki.

On the road, Yama has bitter expression. In the match just now, Reifū and Yuki narrowly defeated their opponents, so they should be able to promoted, but he was the only one who lost. Although Kanpū said before that as long as he exerts his strength, even if he lost, he can still be promoted, Yama still felt anxious.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he is promoted to Chunin or not. The main reason is that he doesn’t want to be surpassed by Kanpū.

Yama’s head is full of thoughts.

Looking at him, Kanpū suddenly felt an itch in his heart. He created a poisonous chicken soup and poured it on him: “Gekkō Yama! Don’t be discouraged! Life has its ups and downs!”

Yama’s body shook all over, he turned his head and stared at Kanpū blankly.

“Gekkō Yama! Life is more than just the present, but also the future!!”

“Gekkō Yama! Sometimes if you don’t work hard, you won’t know what despair is!!”

“Gekkō Yama! Sometimes you feel that you are very ordinary, an ordinary person, but don’t worry, you can also be special, just be a very ordinary person!!!”

“Gekkō Yama! You…”

“Shut up!”

Yama fly into a rage out of humiliation, and rushed towards Kanpū angrily, “Gekkō Kanpū! I will fight to the death with you!!”

…

Hokage Tower.

Hiruzen’s Office.

After Hiruzen came back from the Chunin Exams’ venue, he stood by the window smoking his pipe, staring at the blue and white sky with blurred eyes.

“Hokage-sama!”

In front of the desk, a tall figure appeared from who knows when. He’s wearing Anbu’s attire with an eagle mask on his face, half kneeling on the ground, and his head is slightly lowered.

“Eagle, after tomorrow’s announcement of the list of those who are promoted to Chunin, let Gekkō Kanpū enter the Anbu.” Hiruzen said softly.

“Yes!” The Anbu, whose code name is Eagle, responded, and then asked, “Hokage-sama, after Kanpū enters the Anbu, how should his mission be arranged?”

Although Anbu is small, it has all the five internal division, such as torture, assassination, information gathering, guards, jailer, everything. If another Shinobi joins Anbu, it is natural to arrange their missions according to their expertise, but Kanpū is different.

Hiruzen pondered for a while, and his eyes twinkling: “Jailer!”

Hiruzen knew that Kanpū wants to go to battlefield, so he specially arranges him to be a jailer!

Being a jailer is a very boring and tedious mission. Under the huge gap, if Kanpū can’t accept it, what will he do?

Although Kanpū said he did not join the Abyss, Hiruzen still has to test it just in case.

In case he has joined the Abyss, or knew of other methods to contact the Abyss, he is likely to be exposed when he became a jailer!

Hiruzen has a little expectation in his heart.
