CH 59

After eating the onigiri, Kanpū sent Hayate away with the reason that he wanted to be quiet.

When there was only himself in the bedroom, Kanpū held the scroll but did not immediately open it, but sat on the futon and started thinking.

‘Obtaining the Body Revival Technique’s scroll does not mean that the matter is over!’

‘At this time, Shinnō should have discovered that his scroll was stolen, then, what would he do?’

‘Stay in Konoha to investigate it secretly, or leave Konoha directly because of a guilty conscience?’

‘If Shinnō is gone, then I will be safe and have time to grow up slowly, and even if Shinnō discovers the truth later, he will not be able to do anything to me.’

‘But if Shinnō is not afraid of death and try to investigate it secretly…’

Kanpū hurriedly closed his eyes and carefully recalled what happened before, ‘When I stole the scroll and left Duy’s house, Shinnō didn’t find it, which showed that my action was very perfect.

Of course, when Kanpū fell in front of Duy’s house, he must have left hair, dander and so on in the heavy rain, but this is not evidence at all, because, Kanpū went to Duy’s house every day for this half a month, so leaving these things explains nothing.

‘Then, the only proof for Shinnō to suspect me should be that I poured boiling water on his clothes. ‘

But there is no way. After all, if Kanpū doesn’t do this, how can Shinnō take off his clothes?

If he doesn’t take it off, even if Kanpū could use Transparent Release to hide himself for 100 seconds, it will still be impossible to steal the scroll from Shinnō.

Fortunately, Kanpū immediately left Duy’s house because of his physical discomfort. Now that he is also accidentally ill, it is basically impossible for Shinnō to doubt him.

‘But just in case, I must master the Body Revival Technique as soon as possible, and then destroy the scroll!’

Thinking of this, Kanpū lowered his head and looked at scroll carefully.

The scroll is navy blue, about the length of an adult’s palm, and the thickness of baby fist. The material is a very delicate silk cloth, which is smooth and is very comfortable to touch.

Kanpū slowly opened the scroll and saw that the scroll was densely filled with handwriting the size of a fly. Kanpū briefly glanced at the beginning and saw various words such as body, cells, Chakra stimulation, and cell activation, ‘In other words, this is undoubtedly the Body Revival Technique’s scroll!’

Kanpū was very excited. He continued to look down. There were more and more handwritings below, and Kanpū’s head hurt.

‘Forget it, I’ll just read it later.’

Kanpū unrolled the scroll little by little. In the end, he stretched his two hands to the maximum, it is a full 1.5 meters, but he still didn’t see the bottom of the scroll, and the words inside were so numerous that it could scare patients with intensive disease to death!

Kanpū also felt his scalp numb.

He struggled to get up, put the scroll on the ground and unfolded it directly, it was until five meters away that the writing on it was sparse.

“Huh?”

Kanpū found that there is a series of numbers at the end, and each series of numbers has obvious intervals, and the color of the handwriting seems to have been written recently.

Kanpū suddenly have a thought flashed through his mind, and after counting carefully, he found that the number of intervals between these numbers was exactly the same as the number of times Shinnō massaged Duy!

‘Could it be that… these numbers are the legendary Eight Gates Technique?!’

Shinnō’s purpose is to collect the data of Duy’s body, to provide data support for improving the Eight Gates Technique, but Kanpū didn’t know it. He always thought that Shinnō’s goal was Eight Gates Technique, so he misunderstood.

‘Shinnō is indeed a genius! He was actually able to record the Eight Gates Technique with numbers! ‘

Kanpū was overwhelmed by emotions, ‘But, I’m not bad either. I got full marks in both linear equations and linear algebra in my past life! I will definitely unlock the secrets of these numbers and get the Eight Gates Technique!’

‘But why do I feel a headache when I think of math?’

Kanpū closed his eyes and slowed down, then walked to the beginning of the scroll.

‘Eight Gates Technique can be cracked in the future. The most urgent thing now is to learn to Body Revival Technique!’

If the collection is successful with just one use, Kanpū will immediately destroy the scroll. Of course, the Eight Gates Technique must be copied on a small note, so that even if Shinnō comes to the door, he won’t be able to find  anything.

Kanpū looked at the countless words on the scroll that was more than five meters long, took a deep breath, and collected it!

The green light cluster in his mind surged quickly, after a while, it then subsided.

‘This is… fail?’

‘Or, can’t collect?’

Kanpū has been collecting ‘living people’ these days, and has never collected ‘dead objects’, so he doesn’t know whether or not the Collection Technique can collect dead objects.

So, Kanpū grabbed the towel and quilt beside him, and started collecting it frantically!

‘Collect!’

The green light cluster in his mind didn’t move.

Kanpū turned his head and used Collection Technique against the wall, the pillow, the pen, and his own body. But with no surprise, the green light cluster did not respond.

Then, he collects the scroll again.

The green light cluster in his mind surged in an instant, but after a while, it slowly subsided.

‘There is no response to the pillow, quilt and the other things, but there is a response to the scroll that records the Body Revival Technique, which means that the collection technique can collect dead objects, but the premise is that there is something worth collecting on the dead objects!’

Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief, and then threw away the last Collection Technique. No surprise, it failed again.

Kanpū smiled bitterly and shook his head, ‘Now that all the collection failed, it seems that I have to leave this scroll at home temporarily!

‘It’s just that, which safe place can be used to safe it?’

Kanpū looked around the bedroom, then shook his head and rejected it, ‘Let alone whether Shinnō would come or not, kaa-chan will come in every day to clean up, so even if she did not open the scroll this time, it was impossible to guarantee that she would not be curious next time, so I can’t hide it in the bedroom.’

‘What’s the key to hiding things? Dark under the lights? The most dangerous place is the safest place?’

Kanpū’s eyes lit up, as he suddenly thought of a good place!

So, he put the scroll in his pocket and walked out of the bedroom.

“Kanpū-chan, how is your body?”

Keiko had almost finished cleaning the house, and she asked with concern when she saw Kanpū coming out.

“Kaa-chan, I fell on the road. But I’m fine.” Kanpū said.

Keiko said: “No matter what, you have to eat the medicine, okay?”

Kanpū nodded.

“By the way, what is that scroll?” Keiko asked casually.

“Three basic techniques.”

Kanpū said calmly, “I wrote it myself.”

“Why are you writing this?” Keiko was puzzled.

“To teach Hayate.” Kanpū said nonchalantly, “Hayate wants to learn three basic techniques. So, I specially wrote it down at the Academy for him.”

“Hmm, so it’s like that.”

Hayate appeared out of nowhere, and kept nodding his head, “Aunt Keiko, I want to learn three basic techniques.”

“Kaa-chan, please keep this matter a secret. The Academy’s teachers don’t seem to want the first-year freshmen to get in touch with three basic techniques prematurely.” Kanpū casually made a random excuse.

“I understand.” Keiko said with a smile, then turned to look towards Hayate, “Then Hayate, you must study hard, and must become an outstanding Shinobi in the future!”

“I understand.”

Hayate looked at Keiko sincerely.

Kanpū stood on the side and looked at the innocent expression of the little brother. His mood became a little complicated.

‘I remember the first time I asked Hayate to cover for me, his face was still a little unnatural, and he even blushes. Now… are you used to it?’

‘Hayate, what a terrifying kid.’

Kanpū put his hands in his pockets and walked silently towards the backyard.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the heavy rain still continues and there was no sign of stopping. Kanpū looked around, and he couldn’t see anything from half a meter away.

Kanpū walked in the corridor, then leaned on the edge of the corridor and looked down.

The corridor of Kanpū’s house is made of wood, and the bottom of the corridor is hollow, only supported by small stone pillars. The stone pillars have a small gap, which can only accommodate kid such as Hayate to pass through.

Kanpū then took out the scroll in his pants pocket decisively, and threw it into the gap under the corridor.
