The Chunin Exams lasted from the morning to 2 o’clock in the afternoon and finally ended.

However, the list of those who were promoted will not be released until the next day, so as soon as the match is over, the villagers and Shinobi who were watching all dispersed.

There is a mess outside the venue, and there were many torn tickets among all kinds of garbage. It is unknown how many people went bankrupt in this game.

‘Gambling is wrong!’

Kanpū once again warned himself that he must never touch this thing in the future, and he must be stalwart!

“Shisui, Kanpū, Yui, let’s end here for today, I’ll give you a half-day leave. Disband!”

Shikuro said, “Remember to gather in front of the Hokage Tower at seven o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.”

The three responded, and Yui followed Shikuro away, while Kanpū went with Shisui.

The two chatted for a while on the road, then said goodbye at the fork and went home.

After arriving home, Kanpū found that his house was very deserted. Keiko should be on the hospital working. His cheap father also had a task to do when he returned to the village, and he was very busy, while Hayate was not around.

Kanpū felt a little lonely for a while, then remembering the previous Chunin Exams, he left home and walked towards the old man Matsushita’s house.

The door of old man Matsushita’s house was open. Kanpū didn’t think of himself as an outsider, so he changed his shoes at the entrance and walked in. When he arrived in the living room, Kanpū found out that Tabako had arrived home, but she looked tired and her eyes were decadent.

Matsushita was trying to persuade her, but unfortunately it didn’t work well.

“Big brother!”

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the side. Kanpū looked up and saw that Hayate and Yūgao walking over hand in hand.

Kanpū instantly suffered critical damage, and his forehead overflowed with -666.

“Kanpū is here?”

Matsushita put all his attention on the precious granddaughter just now. It was not until Hayate made a sound that he found Kanpū, who had entered the living room.

Kanpū greeted Matsushita, while Hayate had released Yūgao’s hand, and ran over: “Big brother, are you not going to do mission today?”

Without waiting for his big brother to answer, Hayate pulled Kanpū’s arm, tip-toe up to Kanpū’s ear, and whispered mysteriously, “Big brother, I want to tell you a secret, I…”

“You are the strongest?” Kanpū squinted and said.

“No, no, I’ve learned the three basic techniques.” Hayate suppressed his excitement and chuckled non-stop.

Kanpū’s eyebrows are raised: “Really!”

Kanpū remembered that he taught three basic techniques to Hayate half a year ago, and asked him to write three 500-words experiences. After half a year, the seeds he planted by himself finally blossomed and bears fruit, so it can be said that Kanpū was very pleased!

“Well, my father even complimented me!”

Hayate raised his neck arrogantly, with a shy look on his face.

‘He has become a little arrogant.’

Kanpū couldn’t help but patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: “The three basic techniques are the simplest Ninjutsu. There are thousands of people who master them. Hayate, where do you think you can rank?”

Hayate lowered his head in shame when he heard this.

“My stupid little brother, remember one sentence, arrogance makes people fall behind, but humility can make people progress! Look at your big brother, I have been practicing at the Academy for a year and a half, and I am good at the three basic techniques, Ninja Tools’ throwing, Body Flicker Technique, Earth and Fire Ninjutsu, do you see me being arrogant?” Kanpū decided to lead by example.

Hayate subconsciously nodded.

Kanpū glared.

Hayate immediately shook his head: “No, no.”

Kanpū was about to re-educate him, when Yūgao suddenly rushed over, stretched out her hand while standing in front of Hayate, and stared at Kanpū fiercely: “Don’t bully my Hayate-nii!”

Kanpū’s face twitched slightly, as this bit of dog food caught him off guard!

“Kanpū, come here to help me persuade Tabako-chan.”

Matsushita tried to persuade Tabako to no avail, and in contrast, Kanpū reprimands Hayate, making him obedient and honest in just a few words, so he immediately issued a helpline.

Kanpū came over unperturbed and looked at the Tabako on the sofa, guessing that after she have been defeated by the Hyūga Shinobi, her confidence must be shattered.

At this time, he should give a bowl of chicken soup for the soul!

When Kanpū was searching for chicken soup posts in his mind, he saw Yūgao, who was still looking fierce, rushed over and stood in front of Tabako: “Don’t bully my Tabako-nee!”

Kanpū was taken aback for a moment, and then looked towards Hayate with a blank expression: “Hayate ……”

“Oh.”

Hayate ran over immediately, and then dragged Yūgao to the backyard.

Yūgao is unwilling, she pouted and struggled, while angrily scolding Hayate for betraying the pure friendship between them, saying that he is no longer her righteous partner, and she wanted to draw a clear line between them!

Kanpū stared at Hayate with weird gaze: ‘So you are such Hayate behind my back…’

Hayate’s face flushed with shame, and he pulled Yūgao even harder to run away from Kanpū.

Kanpū retracted his gaze from Hayate, restrained his mind, and then sat opposite Tabako. He looked directly into the other party’s eyes, and said fragrantly: “Tabako-nee, people who have never suffered from hunger will not be moved by food and clothing. After experiencing failure, the success achieved will definitely be more delicious than getting it directly!”

""

Tabako didn’t want to talk to him and just rolled her eyes at him.

Matsushita looked at Kanpū nervously.

Kanpū gave him a reassuring look, and then changed the chicken soup solemnly: “No matter how high the sky is, being on tiptoe is making us closer to the sun!”

“Embrace every day with a smile, and be a woman as warm as a sunflower!”

“Where there is a will there’s a way!”

“Daddy…!”

“Go away! “Tabako couldn’t bear it anymore.

Kanpū was furious: “Listen to you, do you speak human words?!”

Tabako was amused to the point of not knowing whether to laugh or cry “I, I just want to be alone. Both of you are so annoying!”

When Kanpū saw that she was finally willing to communicate, he was relieved and said seriously: “Tabako-nee, are you thinking about the morning’s match? Although you lost to that Hyūga Shinobi, it does not mean that you lost the Chunin Exams!”

Tabako sighed deeply and said weakly: “Of course I know that, I’m just a little unwilling. I have trained so hard for the past two years, but I still can’t beat him.”

Kanpū is a smart guy, so he knew that there’s an inside story as soon as he heard this: “Do you know that Hyūga Shinobi?”

“His name is Hyūga Eiichi, and he is in the same year as me.” Tabako started to talk with a displeased expression, “When he was at the Academy, he looked so aloof and remote, which was annoying, hmph!”

‘It turned out to be an old enemy.’

Kanpū turned his head and looked towards Matsushita, telling that there was nothing he could do about it.

Matsushita was someone who did big things from the first glance. Seeing that his granddaughter finally confided the truth, he patted his chest and said that when she officially became Chunin, he will put down his old face and asked one of the very best Konoha-Style Kenjutsu’s user to be her teacher, so that she can catch up with that Hyūga Eiichi within three years, and become the elite of the elite!

Tabako and Kanpū are suspicious about this.

‘There are many people who have inherited the Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, but the very best of them are in Gekkō Clan. Do you need to put down your old face to invite that person?’

Matsushita smiled and didn’t explain, just showed a mysterious look on his face.
