Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Uchiha Clan.

Itachi returned home from work and found his father, Fugaku, was waiting for him on the sofa in the living room.

“Father.” Itachi bowed respectfully.

“There is no need for so much formality between father and son.”

Fugaku waved his hand, gesturing for his eldest son to sit down, and asked with a smile, “How is the matter I entrusted to you?”

“This…” Itachi hesitated.

Fugaku frowned unhappily, and said with a snort: “Itachi, have you forgotten about Sasuke?”

Itachi shook his head, and explained: “Father, I've spent the past six months going through all the information that only Captains have permission to access, but I haven't found any information related to the Mangekyo Sharingan.”

‘It seemed that he really didn’t find anything…’ Fugaku nodded slightly, rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, “Could it be that the Captain’s authority isn't enough?”

He was only a temporary Captain. He can’t force him to compete for the position of Anbu Commander, right?

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat silent. After a while, Fugaku suddenly remembered something important and asked: “I heard that Gekk Kanpū is back?”

Itachi nodded, “Yes.”

“Then, is your tenure as temporary Captain coming to an end?” Fugaku asked with a frown.

‘If Itachi is still a Captain, even if it is temporary, there would still be a chance for him to access higher-level secrets of the Anbu. However, if he were to be demoted to a regular member, then all hope would be lost!’

Itachi said expressionlessly, “I asked Commander Eagle about it before, and he said Yondaime-sama did not intend to have Captain Kanpū return to the Anbu.”

‘That’s good…’ Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and asked calmly: “Do you know the reason?”

Itachi said: “I guess breathed a sigh of relief wants Captain Kanpū to be the Jonin Instructor of Team 7.”

Fugaku was overjoyed, after all, his youngest son belongs to Team 7!

‘Although Gekko Kanpū is firmly on the side of the Hokage, his strength is very strong. With him instructing Sasuke, I could also…’

‘Uh!’

‘Wait!’

“What about Tenzo?” Fugaku's calm demeanor disappeared in an instant.

‘If Gekko Kanpū becomes Team 7’s Jonin Instructor, where will Team 7’s original Jonin Instructor, Tenzo go?’

“Tenzo-senpai should be returning to the Anbu.” Itachi said.

Hearing this, Fugaku immediately became nervous: “If he returns to the sixth team, who will be the Captain, you or Tenzo?”

“I don’t know.” Itachi became a little impatient.

Although he is also very worried about the potential blindness after Sasuke evolved his Sharingan into Mangekyo, but the current Sasuke only has two-tomoe after all. Wasn't it too early to worry about this and that now?

Besides, he still has Shisui!

Itachi stood up and said: “Father, I am a little tired. I'll go rest in my room first.”

With that said, he left the living room.

Fugaku snorted in annoyance. He is very disappointed with his eldest son!

‘Seeing that the temporary Captain’s position is about to be taken away, you were not even a bit anxious or concerned. Truly, a son who does not hurry will make his father worry to death!’

‘You don't have any ambition at all, you definitely won't be able to find a wife in the future!’

Immediately after, Fugaku remembered that his son seemed to have a girlfriend… ‘Bah, that girl must be blind!’

…

Gekko Mansion.

Kanpū leisurely lay on the wooden corridor in the backyard to watch the sunset.

Minato didn’t let him go back to work in Anbu, so he didn’t bother to check in. He felt that it would be great to lick Mei by himself.

Unfortunately, the good times do not last long…

A few days later.

“Big brother, big brother! You are finally back!!” Karin ran in like a wild girl.

“Karin.”

Kanpū yawned, got up from the wooden promenade that was about to be illuminated in human form, and asked, “Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you around.”

“I went on a mission outside the village!”

Karin proudly took out two wooden bead bracelets, and then handed one to Kanpū and said, “This is a gift for you! I bought this with my own money! Treat it like a family heirloom and cherish it, Onii-chan~~”

‘Sigh~~’

‘This bracelet looked so familiar!’

Kanpū silently placed his right hand behind his back, and asked: “There are two bracelets… just give me one.”

“The other one is for second brother!”

Karin said with a solemn expression, “Big brother, do you know? Before I left for the mission outside the village, second brother was caught by spy!”

“Of course I know. I was the one who saved him.” Kanpū said casually, waiting for Karin’s praise.

“I heard that after second brother was rescued, he became crippled and couldn't be a Shinobi anymore.”

Karin looked at Kanpū resentfully, “Big brother, you are too careless.”

‘I…’

‘This little brat…’

‘Well, if it weren’t for me, Hayate wouldn't have been captured.’

‘Should I be blamed for it?’

Kanpū said weakly, “I will find someone to heal him.”

“So, this bracelet is for second brother, I hope he can forgive you and not hold a grudge against you!” Karin said to the bracelet, her expression like making a wish upon a shooting star.

Kanpū is dumbfounded by this, ‘Hayate didn't hold a grudge against me, he even thanked me. Why should you ask him to forgive me?’

‘Karin, you're too dramatic!!’

Kanpū rolled his head and ignored her.

“Big brother, big brother, do you know? The Joint Chunin Exams is about to begin!” Karin jumped up excitedly.

“Don’t know.” Kanpū shook his head.

Ignoring Kanpū's response, Karin grabbed his arm and dragged him out, then said: “Big brother, let’s go see second brother first. And then, you can tell me about the Chunin Exams on the way! Hurry up.”

‘Aiya, you are so annoying.’

Kanpū was dragged away reluctantly.

At the same time…

At the entrance of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, Yondaime Kazekage, Rasa is seeing off Baki and his group.

“Baki, be safe on your journey.”

Rasa looked at him meaningfully, then warned repeatedly, “If… there are changes, remember to send me a letter in time!”

“I understand!” Baki nodded solemnly.

Behind him, thirty Genin, led by Temari, are all ready to departo.

Since she failed to win the Joint Chunin Exams three years ago, Temari has been training desperately, vowing to win the first place in this year’s exam…

‘Forget it, let him get the first place.’

Temari’s gaze looked towards the figure standing at the corner of the group: Gaara.

‘Although he is my own younger brother and I had tried hard to love him, but… I am still very scared as expected.’

Thinking of some terrifying scenes, Temari’s face showed a look of horror.

…

Kirigakure’s harbor.

Elder Genji is also seeing off the Genin, who were about to go to Konoha to participate in the Joint Chunin Exams.

Leading them was none other than his beautiful secretary!

Genji’s turbid eyes stared at the beautiful secretary, nodding slightly before turning to the group of Genin behind her, led by Hozuki Suigetsu and…

“Haku, pay attention to safety, and don’t let Konoha’s Genin take advantage of our village, understand?” Genji leaned on the snake-shaped cane and kindly advised Haku.

“Don't worry, old man, I'll take care of this guy!” Suigetsu grinned, revealing his sharp, menacing white teeth.

Haku, that is, Yuki Haku only smiled shyly.

In the past, after Kanpū killed Zabuza, Haku was adopted by Genji. Now, a few years later, he had grown into a handsome… young Shinobi!

Woo woo woo!!

Amidst the long, loud sound of the ship's horn, the ship slowly departed from the harbor.
