CH 40

Nine o’clock in the morning, Furuta District.

Kanpū came all the way, and it took more than two hours to finally find the Fukakusa Tavern!

This tavern is located at the end of the street. From the exterior decoration, it does not look like a tavern with particularly good business.

Moreover, the popularity of this street is also very average, far less prosperous than the commercial street where Gekkō Tavern is located.

In short, Kanpū’s first impression of this Fukakusa Tavern is remoteness!

‘Remote? Is this why Shinnō chose to live here? What shady deal is he going to do?’

Kanpū couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to go in and explore.

It was not yet lunch time, so the tavern was still empty. There is only one waitress, who is in her early twenties. so as soon as Kanpū entered, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed waitress.

“Little brother, welcome, are you alone?”

Although Kanpū felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still forced himself to pretend to be innocent and said: “Elder sister, does Shinnō-sama live here?”

“Shinnō-sama? Who?”

The waitress asked in confusion.

“It’s a middle-aged man with face full of beard.” Kanpū said, while carefully observing her expression, but unfortunately, no abnormality was found.

“Oh, that strange guest, he does live here, and he drank five bottles of sake during breakfast today.” The waitress said with a smile, “Little brother, do you know him?”

‘This guy… is really an actor at the top level. He drank five bottles of sake for breakfast, for fear that others would not know that he lived here for the sake of ‘sake’.’

‘However, even if he can deceive others, he can’t deceive me, Kanpū!’

“Elder sister, I want a tempura.”

Kanpū did not answer the waitress’s question, but instead took out the one thousand ryō and handed it to her.

Tempura is a kind of deep-fried food. It is made of flour, eggs, and water. Fresh fish, shrimp and seasonal vegetables are wrapped in flour and egg, and then put into a frying pan. It is deep-fried until it turned golden-yellow. It is very popular with children, and a portion of tempura is 500 ryō.

“Little brother, wait a moment, it will be ready soon.”

The waitress gets the 500 ryō change for Kanpū, and then began to prepare the ingredients.

Seeing that she was busy, Kanpū said: “Elder sister, that strange guest is Shinnō-sama, a very amazing doctor. I admire him very much and like him very much. Today, I came here early in the morning because I wanted his signature!”

“So that’s the case. What a pity. That Shinnō-sama left after breakfast.”

The waitress said with a smile.

“Eh? I should have come earlier.”

Kanpū looked annoyed, but there were some doubts in his heart.

‘Shinnō went to eat dinner with the people from the Medical and Nursing Department such as Uejima last night. With the enthusiasm of those people, they would at least eat until eleven or twelve!’

‘So here comes the problem.’

‘Shinnō was teaching on-site for half a night last night, and eat dinner with the others until midnight, but today, he wakes up so early, so what is he going to do?’

‘Go to the hospital to continue on-site teaching?’

‘That is absolutely impossible!’

‘Even if Shinnō is willing, the people in the Medical and Nursing Department headed by Uejima… Of course, they have one hundred percent willing in their hearts, but as long as they have a little emotional intelligence, they will not let Shinnō, who is a guest, worked so hard. They will definitely ask Shinnō to rest for a half a day. This is the basic etiquette.’

And excluding the Konoha Hospital, Kanpū really didn’t know what Shinnō was going to do.

So Kanpū continued to use his words to find information from this waitress.

“Elder sister, is there anything interesting or meaningful nearby?” Kanpū asked. He firmly believed that Shinnō lived here for some ‘things’ nearby!

“This… there doesn’t seem to be anything.”

The waitress replied while making tempura.

“Then, what’s around here?” Kanpū asked unwillingly.

“Little brother, behind this street is the civilian residential area. There is neither a park nor a bustling commercial street. If you want to play, you have to go to the center of the village.”

The waitress smiled and said, “It’s done, here is your tempura!”

“Oh, thank you.”

Kanpū took a paper bag in disappointment and looked down. There are about ten tempura deep-fried into golden-yellow inside, and a strong aroma of egg, shrimp and flour comes out.

‘Well, it’s a bit rewarding.’

Kanpū stabbed a tempura with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly twice, and the fragrance instantly exploded.

‘It’s delicious!’

Kanpū’s eyes glow.

At this moment, the sensitive Kanpū discovered that someone was peeking on him.

‘No, strictly speaking, he was peeking at the tempura in his hands.’

Kanpū turned his head to look at the door of the tavern, and saw a green figure like a fertilized rabbit flashing past the door.

Kanpū chewed for a while.

‘That is?’

Kanpū rushed out of the door, turned his head to look to the right, and saw a figure wearing green tight clothes running fast in the front.

“If I can’t go around Furuta District ten times before ten o’clock, I’ll do one thousand squats!”

“If I don’t finish one thousand squats, I will push-ups ten thousand times”

“This is Youth! EXPLODE, My YOUTH!!”

The passionate and full of spirit voice slowly faded away, and Kanpū stood there, his brain was a little broken.

‘Might Guy?’

‘Is Guy’s home nearby?’

‘Wait, is Shinnō’s purpose… Eight Gates Technique?’

Kanpū’s eyes widened.

At this moment.

“Dr. Shinnō, my house is right in front, please let me treat you well!”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Kanpū, and it’s filled with a sense of gratitude.

Kanpū turned his head slowly and saw the man with face full of beard, talking and laughing with another man in green tight clothes.

“Duy, you are too polite. I said it before, my dream is to spread my medical skills throughout the Shinobi World. If you think it’s good, I will be happy to pass on my experience in bandage treatment to you.”

Shinnō smiled kindly and said.

“Really? Thank you so much, Dr. Shinnō!”

Might Duy was very excited.

Hearing this, Kanpū’s heart sank, ‘It seems that my guess is correct. Shinnō’s goal is Might Duy’s Eight Gates Technique!’

‘The real reason Shinnō deliberately chose Fukakusa Tavern is because it is close to Might Duy’s home. He only needs to memorize Might Duy’s training time in advance, and he easily create a chance encounter!’

‘The next step is simple. As Might Duy and Guy are Taijutsu Shinobi, their daily training volume is astronomical. In order to prevent injuries during training, bandages must be wrapped around the body to protect their body, and Shinnō’s bandage treatment is in perfect level!’

‘Taking the perfect bandage treatment as an opportunity, Shinnō successfully approached Might Duy without much effort!’

‘What a scheming old fox!’

Kanpū cursed in his heart, but he showed a smile on the surface: “Dr. Shinnō! I finally found you!!”

“Huh?”

Shinnō was taken aback by this high-pitched scream, and his brows furrowed uncontrollably, but he soon recovered his calmness, then looked towards Kanpū who is smiling, and asked with a smile, “Little guy, do you know me?”

“Well, I followed you all the time last night, and I admire you very much!”

Kanpū excitedly went up and squeezed Might Duy away, and grabbed Shinnō’s clothes with one hand, and grabbed… Shinnō’s brown backpack behind him with the other.
