Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Having suddenly mastered the Rasengan, Naruto was so excited that he ran into the backyard to wreak havoc on the young saplings.

Smack!

With one slap, a spiral-shaped indentation the size of a fist appeared on the sapling, with wood chips flying and the mark going deep into the wood!

“Awesome!”

Naruto was elated and quickly ran to the next sapling to continue his experiment.

“Naruto, how does it feel?” Kyubi asked smugly.

“It feels very…cough, just so-so, Kurama. You should know that with my talent, I could have learned the Rasengan even without your help.” Naruto said, acting arrogantly.

‘Have some shame, you little brat…’ Kyubi was about to say something to foster their relationship further when he suddenly sensed two figures approaching rapidly.

Kyubi’s heart trembled, thinking his actions had been discovered, and quickly withdrew, suppressing his presence entirely.

“Sasuke, what are you doing here?!” Hearing the voice, Naruto looked up and saw Sasuke, who insisted on putting both hands in pockets despite looking slightly disheveled.

“It wasn't my idea to come.” Sasuke muttered tiredly, clearly in a foul mood.

“Kakashi-senpai, you’re disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning.” Kanpū yawned and slowly got up.

“It's you who's disturbing people's dreams!” Kakashi said angrily.

He had been happily sitting in his ‘CEO' chair reading a ‘romance’ novel when… Kakashi placed his right hand on Sasuke's shoulder, nearly tossing him towards Kanpū.

“Why are you so angry? Did I cheat on your girl?” Kanpū looked at him suspiciously.

“Uchiha Sasuke, perform that move again.” Kakashi ordered coldly.

‘Are you teaching me how to do things?’

The prideful Sasuke frowned and remained still.

‘Huh?’

Kakashi glanced at the Uchiha brat, seeing him standing tall, hands in his pockets, with a defiant and slightly displeased look on his face.

‘What's with this attitude…’ Kakashi said coldly: “Uchiha Sasuke, did you hear me?”

“I heard you.”

Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, and said with a snort, “But since you're unwilling to guide my training, why should I listen to you?”

“What did you say?” Kakashi's right eye narrowed, and anger surged to his head, ‘You little bastard is trying to put on airs with me?’

Seeing Kakashi’s anger, Sasuke turned his head to look at the scenery.

As a result, his eyes suddenly widened!

He saw several small saplings in the corner of the yard, each bearing fist-sized, spiral-shaped scars.

‘These were made by the Rasengan…’ Sasuke looked towards Naruto, and there was a flash of doubt in his pupils.

Naruto met his gaze, hesitated for a moment, then decisively put his hands in his pockets, trying to suppress the smug look on his face and putting on a nonchalant expression, although the whisker marks on his cheeks couldn't stop trembling with excitement.

‘Damn it!’

‘Naruto has actually already mastered the Rasengan!’

‘Yes, it must be thanks to Kanpū-senpai's guidance!’

Sasuke felt both envious and jealous, his fists clenching inside his pockets.

‘No, I must get Kakashi to guide my training!’

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene grew tense, with Kakashi glaring furiously at Sasuke, Sasuke staring enviously and jealously at Naruto, and Naruto pretending to look at the sky calmly while his whisker marks twitched with pride.

“What dumb riddles are you guys playing?” Kanpū asked irritably.

‘It's so early in the morning, do they really think I wouldn't get up in a bad mood?’

“You still have the nerve to speak?”

Kakashi turned his head and glared at Kanpū, “Gekko Kanpū, do you remember what you promised me?”

“I… what did I promise you?” Kanpū felt a bit guilty, and his irritation from being woken up quickly dissipating.

It can’t be helped, who told him to make so many empty promises when he was young and naive?

He didn't even know which promise Kakashi was referring to.

Kanpū looked steadily at Kakashi.

Seeing Kanpū's calm demeanor, Kakashi got even more… annoyed. He gnashed his teeth and said: “Chidori!!!”

‘Lightning Release: Chidori?’

Kanpū looked at Kakashi, then at Sasuke, and suddenly realized, ‘So that’s how it is. No wonder Kakashi brought Sasuke to the door to confront me. Sasuke must have asked Kakashi about Chidori…’

“You promised me back then that you would never teach Chidori to a third person!” Kakashi coldly said, “Now you've broken that promise!”

‘This promise… I recognize it.’

‘I probably have sworn on my clan’s ancestors…’ Kanpū sighed deeply and said in a low voice: “Kakashi-senpai, it is my Gekko Clan's ancestors who have wronged you. Because of your Chidori, they have been shamed!”

Kakashi frowned, sensing something was off with Kanpū's words.

“Kakashi-senpai, I have wronged you. You can hit me!” Kanpū said through gritted teeth.

“You…”

Kakashi hadn't even said a word when Kanpū quickly shouted, “You can't bring yourself to do it?”

Kakashi’s face turned black.

“Kakashi-senpai, why don't you scold me then?” Kanpū didn't wait for Kakashi to open his mouth and hurriedly said, “You can't bring yourself to do that either?”

‘Keep going…’ Kakashi's face twitched slightly.

“What should I do then?” Kanpū said with a worried expression.

Just as Kakashi was about to lose his temper, Kanpū finally thought of a solution and said anxiously, “Kakashi-senpai, as the saying goes, ‘If a student fails, it's the teacher's fault’. How about letting Naruto take the blame for me?”

“???”

Naruto's smug whiskers suddenly froze, ‘What did I just hear?’

“It's amazing that you could come up with this…” Kakashi sneered sarcastically.

“I know Kakashi-senpai doesn't want to bully the weak. How about this: Naruto is my disciple. Kakashi-senpai, you can take Sasuke as your disciple, and then let Sasuke teach Naruto a lesson?” Kanpū looked at Kakashi earnestly, with an expression that said he had Kakashi's best interests at heart.

When he heard this, Kakashi was stunned, ‘So that’s how it is, Gekko Kanpū, I didn’t expect you to have such an idea!’

While Kakashi was in shock, Sasuke was delighted and stepped forward, saying in a pretentious manner: “Alright! As long as Kakashi is willing to guide my training, I'll teach Naruto a lesson for him!”

“Hey, you were always beaten by me! Stop boasting!” Naruto's attention was immediately diverted upon hearing Sasuke speak.

“As long as I master Chidori, dealing with you will be a piece of cake!” Sasuke sneered at Naruto.

Sasuke thought the reason he couldn't beat Naruto was because Naruto had too many shadow clones, which exhausted his stamina.

But if he mastered Chidori, he could easily destroy Naruto's shadow clones with a swing of his arm. At that time, how could Naruto compete with him?

“What a big talk!”

Naruto was not convinced at all, “Let alone Chidori, even if you learn Ten thousand birds, you will still not be my opponent!” (T/N: Chidori means a thousand birds.)

Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other, sparks flying between their eyes!

Kanpū looked at the two brothers with satisfaction and began to conclude, “Since everyone agrees, then…”

It’s just that before he could finish speaking, he was brutally roughly interrupted by Kakashi.

“Wait! From beginning to the end, I never said that I would accept Uchiha Sasuke as a disciple.” Kakashi looked at Kanpū playfully.

“So Kakashi-senpai means this is over?” Kanpū asked.

“Of course it's not that simple.”

Kakashi crossed his arms and said with a smile, “Kanpū, first you taught Sasuke Chidori, then sent him to me. It seems you really want me to take him as my disciple.”

“???” Kanpū.

‘Do you have some misunderstanding about me…’ Kanpū opened his mouth, but decided not to speak.

Seeing Kanpū not rebutting, Kakashi revealed a knowing look and said lazily: “Actually, doing as you suggested isn't impossible, but there's a condition.”

“A condition?” Kanpū showed a vigilant look, ‘Does this white-haired fox want to turn the tables and punish me?’

“That’s right. If Sasuke defeats Naruto, then you have to promise to do something for me.” Kakashi said with a smile.

“What if Sasuke loses?” Kanpū asked.

“Then of course, I will do something for you.” Kakashi said matter-of-factly.

‘Why do I feel like I'm losing no matter what…’ Kanpū narrowed his eyes.

But Sasuke and Naruto, who had been glaring at each other for a long time, both shouted in unison: “It's a deal!!”
