Hayate's Kekkei Genkai alarmed most of the clansmen of Gekkō Clan. In the evening, everyone spontaneously came to Hayate's house to eat and drink.
Hayate's father, Gekkō Seiseki, didn't reject anyone coming. He held his home-brewed sake to pay respect to everyone. After a while, he was very drunk, lying on the floor and started talking nonsense.
Hayate's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to Hayate, so after Seiseki fell, Hoshino, his biological brother, had to stand up and take his son, no, take his sake and continue to pay respect to everyone.
Kanpū also had a meal at Hayate's house, but then, he couldn't stand the smell of alcohol in the house, so he climbed the wall and returned to his backyard.
But as soon as his feet landed, Kanpū noticed something was wrong.
Hoshino and Hayate are biological brothers, so the houses of the two families are adjacent to each other, and the backyards are also connected together and only separated by a wall. But at this time, the wall is like the dividing line of the world, dividing Kanpū's house and Hayate's house into two worlds.
Over there, it's as lively as the New Year, but here, it's as quiet as the end of the world!
Kanpū's eyes widened, and the celebratory noise from the house seemed to be getting quieter and blurrier, gradually moving away from his world, and then a shadow swallowed him like a black cloud!
"What's your name?"
A dark figure slowly walked out of the corner of Kanpū's backyard, his voice hoarse, like the sound of sand and gravel rubbing against each other.
Kanpū raised his head in horror, and his eyes saw a pair of hands that were as white as jade, and slender fingers, which were extremely dazzling in the dark.
"I, I am…"
Kanpū continued to look up and saw the figure has a black long hair and half of their face hidden in the darkness. The outline could not be clearly seen, but the pair of golden vertical pupils were like the sun in the dark night, aloof and hanging high above, exuding the only light and heat, so that people dare not look directly!
'Orochimaru!!'
Kanpū's heart beats like a drum, blood pours into the brain like a bursting yellow river, his consciousness seems to be floating, and he can't distinguish the East, South, West, and North.
"Answer my question…" Orochimaru said in a low voice, his tone was flat, and no emotions could be heard from that.
"I, I am Gekkō Kanpū." Kanpū didn't want to die, so he answered obediently and honestly, but his heartbeat couldn't help but keep beating faster and faster.
Because he is afraid, the cheat in his mind is not a golden finger at this time, but a time bomb. Once Orochimaru noticed it, Kanpū would probably spend the rest of his life in Orochimaru's laboratory!
But Kanpū's remaining rationality told him that Orochimaru's goal was not himself!
Gekkō Hayate, that's right, Orochimaru is here for Gekkō Hayate!
To be precise, it is Hayate's Kekkei Genkai!
Kanpū took a deep breath, trying to control his heartbeat, but his breathing was like a dying person's struggle, disordered and flustered. The deeper he breathed, the more disordered his heartbeat became.
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupil slanted slightly, looking at Kanpū with a little doubt, 'I didn't use killing-intent to stimulate him, so why is this child trembling like this?'
'Is he so much of a coward?'
'It seems that Gekkō Clan is not as good as I thought, hehe.'
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, and then slowly took a step back. His entire figure instantly melted into the darkness and disappeared.
'Is he gone?'
Kanpū stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground, busy pressing his knees with his hands.
At the same time, the celebratory noise in Hayate's house also seemed to break the barrier and reached Kanpū's ears.
'I was almost scared to death!
Kanpū gasped heavily, and he has a lingering fear in his heart!
Without anyone knowing, Orochimaru just appeared in front of Kanpū and almost took him away in one wave.
Kanpū turned to look back at Hayate's house and wondered if he should remind him, but he immediately felt that he couldn't.
'Orochimaru's appearance here must be due to interest Hayate's Kekkei Genkai, but when Konoha Hospital confirms the specific type Hayate's Kekkei Genkai tomorrow, Orochimaru will lose interest and both parties will return to their respective life trajectories, everyone minds their own business.'
But if Kanpū goes to remind him now, then the Gekkō Clan, who just got a Kekkei Genkai, would definitely enter a state of vigilance. In case of friction with Orochimaru, or alarming Sandaime Hokage, Orochimaru's malice may be aroused. This is not something that Kanpū, who intends to develop in low profile, wants to see.
'Then, let's just pretend it never happened!'
Kanpū persuaded himself this way, but there was sense of shame in his heart.
After all, weak are prey to the strong!
If his strength can match Uchiha Madara, Orochimaru would not dare to appear on Gekkō Clan's territory!
Kanpū took a breath of the cool night air, and then staggered back to his bedroom, lying on the futon, and fell asleep after a while.
'When he opened his eyes, it was already the next day.'
'Why is it so quiet outside?'
Kanpū got up from the futon, remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help but frowned.
He ran to the backyard, and the courtyard was empty. He walked around the house again, but still can't see anyone. It was only until he ran to the kitchen and saw two warm onigiri in the pot that he was relieved.
'If something big happens, Kaa-san should not be in the mood to make onigiri, right?'
'But then again…'
'Why is it onigiri again?!!'
With a look of disgust, Kanpū stuffed the rice ball wrapped in seaweed and sesame into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and then ran to the backyard. After thinking for a while, he climbed over the wall in a dog-climbing style, and came to Hayate's house.
"Big brother!!!"
As soon as his feet landed, he heard a crisp and tender shout from nearby.
Kanpū turned his head to look, and saw Hayate running towards him with his two short legs. Under the sun, he smiled like a 6-year-old kid.
Although he knew that Hayate would be okay, it was not until he really saw him that Kanpū finally felt relieved. He then asked: "Little brother, are you alone at home?"
Hayate said: "Tou-san has gone to the hospital."
"Oh, that's alright, goodbye."
Kanpū turned around and then saw the wall, 'Oh no, I need to climb over the wall again.'
"Big brother, big brother, let's train Kenjutsu together."
Hayate ran over and grabbed the corner of Kanpū's clothes, pulled it down hard, and looked at him expectantly.
Kanpū hesitated for a while, 'There were no people at home for me to collect, and I would just go to sleep if I went back. It's better to accompany this little brother here to increase our relationship and improve the success rate of the collection.
"Okay, let's train Kenjutsu together."
Kanpū smiled and said, "Brother, when you learn the Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, remember to pass it to me."
"Yeah, I understood." Hayate nodded as if he was a chicken pecking at rice.
"You should also pass the Kekkei Genkai to me too." Kanpū continued to bewitched.
Hayate is already a six-year-old child after all, so when he heard this, he said earnestly: "Big brother, it seems that Kekkei Genkai can't be…"
Kanpū was furious: "I Didn't expect you to be like such a person, Hayate, just go, don't show up at my house!"
"Big brother, this is my house." Hayate felt very aggrieved.
"I'm going!"
"Big brother big brother, don't go, accompany me to train Kenjutsu." Hayate was a little anxious.
"Then, would you pass the Kekkei Genkai to me?" Kanpū threatened.
Hayate nodded decisively: "Pass, pass."
Kanpū grinned when he heard this: 'Hehehe!'
