CH 13

Although this commercial street is small in scale, there are many types of shops, such as a small vegetable market, a grocery store, a flower shop, a tavern, a barbecue restaurant, a jewelry store, a clothing store, a Ninja Tool store, a bathhouse, and even a small casino.

At this time, Kanpū was standing outside the bathhouse, blinking his two innocent big eyes, and he always felt that a voice was calling him.

‘Could it be Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin?’

Kanpū was about to move, but in the end, he found helplessly that he seems to… haven’t developed yet.

‘Forget it, wait for my low-profile development, and then try again! ‘

Kanpū moved with difficulty, then walked to a tavern and his pupils shrank when he looked up.

‘Gekkō Tavern?’

‘Is it Gekkō Clan’s industry?’

‘Why haven’t I heard father and mother mentioned it?’

Kanpū looked inside, and saw that it was a very ordinary tavern. There was a row of four-person small tables against the wall on the left, a long bar on the right, and a row of benches on the left of the bar. Because it was near noon, there were already quite a few guests sitting there.

On the right side of the bar are several busy employees, dressed in uniforms and masks. They are very professional in making all kinds of exquisite food for the guests.

Kanpū stood on his feet and glanced at it. There are sushi, oden, barbecue, and also beer and sake. All kinds of flavors are intertwined together, so that the greedy worms in his stomach are hooked out. After all, who told Kanpū to make main food onigiri.

Kanpū touched his pocket, but there was nothing else but a bunch of keys.

‘Sure enough, a penny stumped the hero.’

Kanpū sighed sadly.

“Kanpū-chan, what are you doing here?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Kanpū didn’t have to look back to know that it was his mother, Keiko.

“I want to eat.”

Kanpū pointed to the tavern without looking back, speaking concisely.

“That can’t be done, Hayate is still waiting for us at home, so let’s go back quickly.”

Keiko grabbed Kanpū’s hand and took him away forcefully.

Kanpū was a little unwilling, turned his eyes and asked: “Why is that tavern called Gekkō?”

“Because that is Gekkō Clan’s industry.” Keiko said as if it was a matter of course.

“Then I don’t have to pay for food to eat there?” Kanpū’s eyes lit up.

“Of course you have to give money.” Keiko solemnly explained, “The income from the tavern will be distributed to the lonely old people and children in the clan. If Kanpū-chan doesn’t pay for the food, wouldn’t those clansmen be too pitiful?”

Kanpū then said: “Then we can just make the tavern bigger. The more money it makes, the more money I can afford for my meals.”

Keiko was amused by Kanpū’s ‘innocent’ words, and said: “Kanpū-chan, there are at least 30 taverns in the village, and the competition is very fierce. Therefore, it is very difficult to make the tavern bigger, understand?”

Kanpū pouted, ‘Why does it sounded like I’m a little brat who doesn’t know anything?’

Although Kanpū has never done catering, but in his previous life he often went to those Japanese, Korean, and Chinese fast food restaurants. He could borrow some management experience from there and the characteristics of some cuisines can definitely improve the competitiveness of Gekkō Tavern to the next level!

It’s a pity that he is still a child in the eyes of others, and his father, who is the Clan Head, is not around. So even if his words are clear and logical, he knew that no one will listen to him. After all, the tavern is related to the vital benefits of clan’s lonely elderly and children, and cannot tolerate carelessness.

“Kanpū-chan, go home first, kaa-san will buy some food.”

When passing by the small vegetable market, Keiko stopped.

Seeing this, Kanpū’s eyes lit up: ‘I finally don’t have to eat onigiri at noon today!’

Back home, Kanpū had just changed his shoes at the entrance when he heard hurried footsteps coming from his living room.

“Big brother, you are back.”

With his forehead full of sweat, Hayate barefoot holds a wooden sword barefoot, and ran over to greet Kanpū.

In the morning, Hayate came over the wall to find Kanpū to train Kenjutsu, but found that Kanpū was not there, so he had to train in the backyard with the wooden sword alone until now.

“Hayate, didn’t I remind you not to work so hard?”

Looking at the sweat on Hayate’s face, Kanpū felt helpless, “Don’t you know how you coughed in the future?”

Hayate was confused when he heard this.

“Forget it, you don’t understand even if I told you. Anyway, remember that you will have to take a nap every day in the future, understand?” Kanpū said solemnly.

Hayate nodded, but then shook his head again, and said loudly: “No, big brother, we are going to train Kenjutsu this afternoon!”

‘This crazy workaholic.’

Kanpū sighed helplessly.

He doesn’t know what Seiseki is instilling his son every day, making him work hard like this at such a young age.

Think about when Naruto was six years old, he didn’t do serious things every day. But when he grows up, didn’t he still save the village and save the world?

When Hayate saw Kanpū ignored him, he and: “Big brother, let’s train Kenjutsu this afternoon!”

“Train, train.”

Kanpū was annoyed by the entanglement, and he replied casually.

“Big brother, let’s train Kenjutsu together tonight!” Hayate exclaimed excitedly.

“Hayate, why do you like training Kenjutsu so much?” Kanpū muttered while covering his forehead.

“I want to inherit the Konoha-Style Kenjutsu and let the clan’s name spread all over the world.” Hayate said loudly, with a warm expression on his face, “Big brother, let’s do our best together!”

“Yes, yes.”

Kanpū scratch his head, ‘Hayate in the anime, aside from his poor health, his speech and work are all methodical, and even gives people the feeling of being a little lazy. But why are you diligent when you are you?’

‘What a headache.’

After a while, Keiko came back from shopping, and then went to the kitchen and made a sumptuous lunch.

During the meal, Keiko started to speak: “Kanpū-chan, don’t go out in the afternoon, and play with Hayate at home, understand?”

“Yes.” Kanpū said.

“At night, Hayate will sleep with you. Tomorrow morning, I will take you and Hayate to the Academy to report. From now on, you will be responsible for bringing Hayate to and from school, understand?” Keiko said again.

In this war with Sunagakure, Konoha Hospital also dispatched a batch of Medical-nin to the frontline, so the staff at the hospital was a little tight, and Keiko’s work was naturally busy and it was difficult for her to get away.

“I understand.” Kanpū felt a little helpless as he felt that he is now like a babysitter.

Kanpū glanced Hayate and saw that he was almost finished eating. He remembered the scene of training Kenjutsu together, so he hurriedly dropped his tableware and chopsticks, then ran back to his bedroom and locked the sliding door.

In the next moment, there was a knock on the door and Hayate’s shout was heard: “Big brother, train Kenjutsu together, big brother, train Kenjutsu together…”

Kanpū lay flat on the futon, feeling sleepy, ‘Although Hayate is very noisy, it was also very good to fall asleep listening to the noise.’

‘Want to interrupt my lunch break?’

‘Don’t joke around!’

Kanpū’s eyelids became heavier, and he slowly fell asleep.
