Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“Mom, I’m back.”

When night fell, Naruto, who had just been beaten twice, returned home with bloody nose and swollen face.

Kushina was in the kitchen preparing dinner, and her voice was accompanied by the aroma of cooking wafting from afar: “Naruto, even though it's summer vacation, you can't stay out so late and only come home now. Mom will worry, you know?”

“I didn’t!”

Naruto took small steps to the kitchen, proudly pointing at the injuries on his face, and said with a snort, “Mom, look, I’ve been training for a whole day!”

“Training? Looks more like a fight. Which neighborhood kid was it this time?” Kushina glanced over, with a hint of helplessness.

“It's not like that!”

Naruto got angry and subconsciously wanted to talk about today's experiences, but he also had a sense of pride. Fighting with two girls… Bah, he couldn't say it was a fight, that is training, yes, training!

But even in the training, he can’t compare to Hinata and Karin.

Naruto’s sadness flowed like a river, with his head down, he turned and left amidst a melancholic background music.

“Naruto.” Kushina said without looking back, “Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner is almost ready.”

“I’m not eating.” Naruto was immersed in sadness at the moment, so how can he have the mood to eat?

Going upstairs, Naruto locked himself in the bedroom and sealed himself in the quilt. After a while, his sadness inexplicably disappeared.

“No, I absolutely can't give up!” Naruto jumped out of the quilt with full of vitality.

‘I must find a way to defeat them!’

Naruto paced back and forth on the bed. Finally, he thought of a way to defeat Hinata and Karin.

‘Shadow Clone Technique!’

‘Yes, the reason I can't beat them is because there are two of them, and I’m alone. As long as I learn Shadow Clone Technique…’

Thinking of this, Naruto immediately started training the Shadow Clone Technique.

A few years ago, when Kanpū and Naruto caught the thief in Hokage Tower, they ‘accidentally’ entered the forbidden data room on the second floor of Hokage Tower, and witnessed the Forbidden Ninjutsu recorded on the Scroll of Seals, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

Unfortunately, at that time, Naruto couldn't read well, but he was clever and remembered the hand seals for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique instead.

Naruto brought the middle fingers of his left and right hands together and loudly shouted: “Shadow Clone Technique!”

There is no response.

‘Failed?’

Naruto took a deep breath and used the strength of taking a dump: “Shadow Clone Technique!”

There is still no response.

Then the power to eat milk: “Shadow Clone Technique.”

The power to eat barbecue: “Shadow Clone Technique.”

‘This also won’t do?’

‘In that case… the power of Ichiraku Ramen: “Shadow Clone Technique.”

Five minutes later, Naruto lay on the bed, feeling hungry: “I’m so hungry.”

Growl growl…

His stomach also started growling.

Naruto sighed, and reluctantly went downstairs to eat.

……

Early the next morning.

Outside the Gekko Mansion, Naruto arrived early and knocked on the iron gate: “Kanpū-sensei.”

Knock knock knock.

“Kanpū-sensei.”

Knock knock knock.

“Kanpū-sensei.”

The door opened, and Keiko walked out, then she said with a smile: “Oh, it's Naruto, good morning, have you eaten yet?”

“Good morning, grandma.” Naruto exclaimed happily, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

‘Grandma….’

(*￣︶￣) The smile on Keiko’s face gradually stiffened (▼ヘ▼)

Keiko: “It’s good for children to skip breakfast.”

“Huh?” Naruto was taken aback, with a big question mark on his head.

Entering the mansion, Keiko eventually softened and made a few seaweed onigiri for Naruto, which were still eighty years away from the century-old tradition.

“Thank you, Grandma Keiko!”

Naruto happily carried the rice balls and went to find Kanpū.

Behind him, Keiko’s hand holding the kitchen knife trembled slightly.

……

“Kanpū-sensei, Kanpū-sensei…” While eating the onigiri, Naruto barged into Kanpū’s bedroom.

On the futon, Kanpū, half-awake, looked at Naruto enjoying his food and it took a while for him to react: “Oh, it’s Naruto.”

“Kanpū-sensei, it's already morning. Quickly guide me in my training.” Naruto, with a mouth full of onigiri, dragged Kanpū out.

“Naruto, why are you suddenly so focused on training?” Kanpū yawned.

Naruto exclaimed loudly: “Because I can't accept it no matter what! I don't want to be mocked by Karin. I must defeat her!”

‘So ambitious.’

Kanpū approved of his reason for getting stronger.

After brushing his teeth and freshening up, Kanpū assigned a shadow clone to go to Anbu, then called Karin and Hinata next door, and then left the mansion with the three kids.

“Kanpū-sensei, why did you bring them…” Naruto felt wronged when he saw the two girls, looking pitiful like an abandoned puppy as he looked at Kanpū.

Kanpū smiled and said: “This is for fair competition. Naruto, you wouldn't want people gossiping about you, right?”

Karin is not so easy to talk, and said fiercely: “Naruto, you're cheating. Begging my Big Brother to guide you in training, do you still have any dignity?”

Naruto said anxiously: “Kanpū-sensei is my teacher. It’s natural for the teacher to guide his student in their training. But, a big brother has no obligation to guide his sister in training!”

“Bastard, Naruto, you…”

“You two, stop quarrelling.” Hinata, with a red face, squeezed in between them, then she quickly changed the topic, “Big Brother Kanpū, where are you taking us for training?”

“First, let's go to Ichiraku Ramen.” Kanpū said, “I haven't had breakfast yet.”

“Me neither.” Hinata turned her head to both sides, “Karin, Naruto, what about you?”

“Ichiraku Ramen …” Naruto’s attention was indeed shifted, “If I knew we would go there, I would not have eaten Grandma Keiko’s onigiri.”

Karin angrily said: “Hinata, you always help Naruto!”

“I didn't, Karin, don’t talk nonsense.” Hinata’s face turned even redder when she heard this.

Karin, seeing this, got anxious and quickly pulled her away from Naruto, sternly warning her not to like Naruto, a guy with a brain deficiency.

Hinata blushed so much that her head was almost buried in her chest.

Originally, she didn't have such thoughts, but being teased by Karin every now and then, she started having them.

In the midst of the chattering, the four of them finished eating at Ichiraku Ramen. Then, Kanpū led Naruto and the others to a gentle section of the river south of the village, and said: “Naruto, Karin, Hinata, continue yesterday's training, Water Surface Walking.”

“Kanpū-sensei, but I've already mastered the Water Surface Walking.” Naruto exclaimed, “I want to learn Shadow Clone Technique!”

“Idiot, it was just a pond yesterday. The water in the pond was still, while the water on the river was flowing continuously. The difficulty is completely different.” Karin shouted.

“Is that so?”

Naruto felt that what she said made sense, so he lifted his head proudly and said, “Of course I know that. I deliberately said such thing to test you.”

Karin got angry and wanted to hit someone.

Naruto quickly hid behind Kanpū.

“Alright, alright, stop arguing. Just get into the water.” Kanpū urged them, while delivering the usual instructions, “Distribute your Chakra evenly on the soles of your feet and let them flow on the soles of the feet to create stickiness…”

Naruto, Karin, and Hinata looked at each other upon hearing this: ‘This sound familiar.’
