Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 204: Apprenticeship Banquet
Chapter 204: Apprenticeship Banquet
“Hahaha, everyone is here, so let’s have dinner!”
Matsushita shouted to the kitchen, “Tabako-chan, bring in the prepared dishes.”
“Yes!”
Tabako responded from the kitchen.
After the group came to the table, Tabako brought out plates full of dishes from the kitchen.
Kanpū wants to help immediately. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t leave a good impression on Kosuke, as it is mainly because he likes to help!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Hoshino pressed him on the table.
Kanpū was stunned, then looked at the smiling face of Matsushita, then looked at Kosuke, and suddenly remembered the awesome brag by Matsushita when Tabako became a Chunin, ‘So this is…’
“Tou-san, will Tabako-nee get a teacher?”
Kanpū asked softly.
“Tabako-chan will learn Konoha-Style Kenjutsu from Kosuke-san to in the future.”
Hoshino explained softly, “Kosuke-san’s Konoha-Style Kenjutsu was was taught by Nidaime-sama himself.”
“No, what I learned is the same as what you learned. There is no difference.” Kosuke heard the conversation between the father and son, and interjected with a smile.
“Kosuke-san is still as humble as before.” Hoshino said with a smile.
Kosuke shook his head with a wry smile.
After a while, Tabako filled the table with dishes, including sushi, tempura, miso soup, crayfish, eel, oden, etc. Every dish is full of color and aroma, and just looking at it increase people’s appetite.
Normally, Tabakos has beautiful short hair, a pair of dashing eyebrows, bright eyes, and looks heroic and formidable. So Kanpū absolutely didn’t expect for her to be able to cook like this.
Kosuke, Hoshino, and Sora laughed and praised Tabako, and then Tabako poured a glass of sake for Kosuke: “Master, please.”
Kosuke smiled and drank it, and then said: “Tabako-can, please take care of me in the future.”
“No, I should be the one to ask Master to take care of me.” Tabako hurriedly said, and the eyes under the dashing eyebrows are bright and energetic.
Although Kosuke is only a Genin, as long as he is willing, he can be promoted to Elite Jōnin in minutes!
If someone wants to get the title of Elite Jōnin, they must not only be powerful, but also make a great contribution to the village, otherwise, it is impossible for the village to give them the title of Elite Jōnin!
Not to mention that most of Kosuke’s abilities were taught by Nidaime!
Not to mention Tabako, even Kanpū wants to directly become his apprentice.
”
”
But today is Tabako’s apprenticeship banquet, and Kanpū must not destroy it.
After Kosuke drank the sake, everyone started to eat and drink. Kanpū took a few bites of every dish. However, there is really nothing to say about the taste, as it is not much better than the cooking of the chef on tavern!
After having a good meal, Matsushita and Inoue took Kosuke to the backyard to play shogi. The three stinky chess players talked loudly about the past for a while, analyzed the situation of the war, and then each took a step with a solemn expression, full of expert demeanor.
Kanpū can’t stand it anymore, and feels that his eyes are going blind. Walking back to the living room, his cheap father and Sora are sitting on the sofa and chatting, Tabako is cleaning the table, and her tag-a-long, Yūgao, is holding the dishes and chopsticks while followed behind her with full of vitality.
“Kanpū, don’t just stand there, go and help.” When Hoshino saw Kanpū standing idly there, he hurriedly instructed him to help wipe the table.
Kanpū shrugged, took a rag from the kitchen and began to wipe the table.
“Thank you.”
Tabako said with a slight smile.
“Big bastard brother, thank you.” Yūgao followed her example and thanked him with wide eyes.
Kanpū was furious. He then stretched out his finger and stabbed Yūgao’s cheeks.
This girl still has carrying baby fat, her cheeks are red and swollen, and has excellent elasticity.
After being stabbed by Kanpū several times, Yūgao finally reacted. At this moment, she puffed out her mouth, slapped Kanpū’s fingers with her two small hands, and then yelled and rushed to punch and kick Kanpū. After a while, she was sweating profusely, and exhausted.
“Big bastard, you are bullying me, hmph!”
Yūgao panted, turned her head angrily, and continued to work.
Kanpū felt better after stabbing Yūgao’s cheeks.
Not long after, Sora took Yūgao and left first.
Hoshino didn’t sit for long, and was about to leave too.
As a mature man, Kanpū seized every opportunity to kneel and lick. He fiercely showed off his knowledge in front of Kosuke, respecting the old and caring for the young, and then followed Hoshino home.
“Tou-san, from what I heard from Uncle Matsushita, didn’t Uncle Kosuke go to battlefield?”
On the way back, Kanpū wanted to know more about Kosuke, so he randomly found a topic and started a chat.
Hoshino then said: “Kosuke-san has been fighting in the Sunagakure’s battlefield for more than half a year, so he come back to train for a while.”
“After that, Uncle Kosuke will go to battlefield?” Kanpū said thoughtfully.
“Of course, but…”
Hoshino seemed to see through everything, and asked with a smile, “Kanpū, what are you trying to say?”
”
”
Kanpū laughed dryly and said: “I just wanted to ask, if Uncle Kosuke goes to battlefield, what will Tabako-nee do? Didn’t she just take him as her master?”
Hoshino asked with a smile: “What do you think?”
Kanpū was startled, and then reacted: “She’ll go to the battlefield with Uncle Kosuke?”
Hoshino nodded: “Tabako-chan has been promoted to Chunin for more than half a year, so it’s time for her to go to battlefield to gain experience.”
Kanpū scratch his head, ‘With Shisui’s Sharingan evolution to two-tomoe, it is suspected that he will be going to battlefield, and now, Tabako is going to battlefield too.’
‘I’m so envious.’
‘The countless corpses on battlefield are my treasures!’
Kanpū hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: “Tou-san, in fact, I also want to go to battlefield to help, even if it is to help pick up corpses…”
Hoshino frowned and said: “Kanpū, it has not been a year since you became a Genin. It is still a bit early for you to battlefield, even as a logistician!”
Kanpū curled his lips, as he already knew that would be the answer.
However, it is not Hoshino who has the final say on whether he would go to the battlefield or not.
When Iwagakure and Kumogakure invade the Land of Fire, Konoha’s Shinobi would be stretched thin. At that time, let alone Genin, even the students at the Academy would be pulled out to do logistics.
Besides, Kanpū is now Shikuro’s student. If Shikuro goes to the battlefield, there is a high chance that Kanpū will also go with him.
Furthermore, relying on Transparent Release’s low-profile ability and the three elements Ninjutsu, Kanpū believed himself to be eligible to apply for the Chunin Exams. As long as he does not encounter any genius in the test and loses too badly, with Konoha’s current situation, he’s sure to make it through!
However, participating in the Chunin Exams was still a bit dazzling for Kanpū, who was 8 years old at the time. In case of being caught by the Uncle Snake or Danzo, it wouldn’t be a joke. He thought of delaying it until next year. When he thought about this, he remembered that it was already the end of August, and it would be in a few months before the Chunin Exams at the beginning of next year, and Kanpū suddenly cheered up.
