Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 188: Collection Restrictions on Scrolls

Chapter 188: Collection Restrictions on Scrolls

The motionless green light cluster in his mind made Kanpū stunned.

‘Why can’t it be collected?’

For today’s three Collection Techniques, he succeeded in collecting Dance of the Crescent Moon once, and failed once in collecting Hazy Moon Night. That is to say, he still has one more chance to collect!

‘Is there a problem with Hayate’s copy?’

But when Hayate copied it, he was there to supervise the whole process. Not to mention typos, even the punctuation marks are correct!

Kanpū pondered for a while, and thought of two possibilities.

The first may be because Hayate has been collected by him three times, so he can no longer collect the scrolls copied by Hayate!

But soon, this possibility was thrown away, because the two old men, Inoue and Matsushita have been collected by him three times, but didn’t Kanpū still collect their handwritten scrolls?

Not to mention that he collected more than twenty theoretical knowledge from Tabako’s notes.

So, there is only one last possibility: Hayate has not mastered Dance of the Crescent Moon, and the Dance of the Crescent Moon he copied is just a simple character without the slightest soul, so Kanpū cannot collect it!

In other words, only the scrolls written by the Shinobi who mastered Dance of the Crescent Moon, can Kanpū collect the Dance of the Crescent Moon!

Kanpū’s first reaction was to ask two old men, Inoue and Matsushita, to copy the Dance of the Crescent Moon 47 times, but immediately after, he felt that it was inappropriate: ‘If the same person copied the same scrolls multiple times, can it be collected multiple times?’

‘Should it be possible? But just in case, Kanpū decided to do an experiment.’

He took the homework book and rushed out of the bedroom, came to Hayate’s side and said: “Hayate, you have mastered Three Basic Techniques, right?”

Hayate nodded: “Yes, big brother.”

“Then, I want you to first write Transformation Technique’s hand seals, training method, and your experience.” Kanpū handed over the workbook.

Although Hayate felt that it is a little strange, he still wrote it seriously.

“Big brother, it’s done!” Hayate handed over the workbook.

After Kanpū took it, he directly used the Collection Technique.

In an instant, the green light cluster in his mind quickly surged, and a light blue light dot was ejected, which is the Transformation Technique!

In this way, Kanpū’s guess is confirmed: ‘Only the Ninjutsu that they have mastered can be collected by Collection Technique after writing it down!’

‘Then, the next step is to verify whether the same person who copied the same Ninjutsu multiple times can be collected!’

“Hayate, write these again!” Kanpū said.

“Huh?” Hayate was stunned, but seeing the solemnity and seriousness in his big brother’s eyes, he wrote Transformation Technique’s hand seals, training method, and his experience again on another workbook with a bitter face, and because it is rewritten, some of the above words are inevitably different from the first time they were written.

Kanpū took the second version of Transformation Technique, and then used the Collection Technique. This time, the green light cluster in his mind did not move.

Kanpū’s eyes lit up, but he immediately remembered that he had used all three of today’s Collection Techniques, so it would be strange if there is a reaction instead.

‘It seems that I can only try it after twelve o’clock in the evening.’

Kanpū silently put away the workbook.

Not long after, Keiko also come back from the hospital. The mother and son hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so Keiko gave a gentle education to Kanpū, and then went to cook happily.

After the meal, Hayate continued to copy Dance of the Crescent Moon, copying while memorizing it, wishing to directly remember this Secret Art from Konoha-Style Kenjutsu in his heart.

Looking at Hayate being so active, Kanpū was too embarrassed to stop him.

At this moment, a few insects flew in from the backyard. When Kanpū looked at it, he immediately realized that this was Shikuro who had come to send the Sensor Ninjutsu’s scroll.

When he ran to the backyard, he saw Shikuro standing in the middle of the backyard with his head lowered.

“Shikuro-sensei!”

As soon as Kanpū called out, Shikuro dispersed into a large number of insects and flew away, leaving only a Ninjutsu scroll in his place.

“It’s an Insect Clone.”

Kanpū walked over to pick up the Ninjutsu scroll and unfolded it. It turned out to be the most basic Sensor Ninjutsu, the same as what he collected from that Kumogakure’s Shinobi.

Kanpū smiled, as in the future, he can use Sensor Ninjutsu openly.

Walking back to the living room, Kanpū found that Inoue had actually come as a guest.

“Uncle Inoue, why are you here?”

Kanpū asked with a smile.

“Hmph!”

Inoue saw Kanpū with an uncomfortable look on his face, pointed at the bewildered Hayate, and asked Kanpū, “What is going on here?”

Kanpū didn’t care, and said with a smile: “I’m letting Hayate to copy the Dance of the Crescent Moon.”

“Aho (Stupid)! Dance of the Crescent Moon is the Secret Art of the Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, what should you do if your copies are spread out? Now is the time of war, and there must be spies from the other countries lurking in the village!” Inoue said.

Kanpū’s eyelids twitched. He really hadn’t thought about this, so he hurriedly followed Inoue’s advice and said: “Hayate, tear up everything you copied and flush it on the toilet.”

“I understand!”

Hayate seems to know the seriousness of the matter, and without saying anything further, he just tore his workbook into pieces, soak them in the water, and then flush the toilet when they are soaked.

“Big brother, there is another homework book with you.” Hayate ran back and said.

Kanpū took out Hayate’s workbook, then tore off the paper with Transformation Technique and kept it, and handed the workbook to Hayate.

Inoue nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. He then took out a sealing scroll from his arms, took the silver ore from it, and handed saying to Kanpū with a solemn expression: “I have asked someone to appraise this ore. It’s very precious!”

“How expensive is it?” Kanpū’s eyes lit up.

“This ore can transfer Chakra perfectly. Your father’s sword, Shusui, is forged from this precious ore.” Inoue said.

Kanpū’s eyes shined and he asked: “Can we dissolve the blades I brought back, and then add this piece of silver ore to forge fifty Shusui?”

“Impossible!”

Inoue shook his head and said, “First of all, this piece of ore can only make one sword at most, and secondly, if you want to dissolve the fifty or so forged blades, you cannot do it with Konoha’s forging technology.”

“Okay.”

Kanpū sighed, as he couldn’t help but feel regret of Konoha’s forging industry.

Then, he put the silver ore into his sealing scroll.

After that, Inoue secretly pulled Kanpū to the backyard, and asked Kanpū to spend more time with Hayate, to help him psychologically, to pour more bowls of chicken soup for the soul, to encourage him and inspire him, so that he doesn’t want to waste his time, and would study hard and train every day…

There are so many words spoken, that Kanpū felt his brain full.

When Inoue left, Hayate immediately walked over with the scroll of Dance of the Crescent Moon and asked: “Big brother, do I still need to copy it?”

“How many times have you copied it?” Kanpū asked.

“I only copied it six times.” Hayate’s eyes glowed a little: ‘After copying for another ten or so times, I would be able to memorize Dance of the Crescent Moon completely!’

When Kanpū came into contact with Hayate’s eyes, he knew what thing he was pulling in his heart, and waved his hand: “Keep copying, but remember to flush the toilet after copying it.”

“I understand!” Hayate responded excitedly.
