"Kanpū, you are back."
As soon as Kanpū changed his shoes at the entrance, he heard the voice of his cheap father, Hoshino in the living room.
Kanpū was shocked, and he immediately rushed to the living room. He then saw Hoshino sitting on the sofa in the living room. The right half of his face, right hand, and most of his body were wrapped in bandages, and at the edge of the bandages, the red faint trace of ugly scars.
It was a scar that was formed from being scorched by flames.
"Tou-san..."
Kanpū felt very uncomfortable upon seeing Hoshino's state.
"Hahaha, what's with that expression?"
Hoshino stood up from the sofa, stretched out his left hand to pat Kanpū's shoulder, and then said with a smile, "I came back alive as promised!"
Kanpū's mouth twitched slightly: 'When did you promised such thing?'
But he can't say what the words he is thinking.
"It's just that I feel a little regretful…"
Hoshino sighed, "I didn't manage to avenge your uncle…"
Having heard this, Kanpū had an inexplicable anger burning in his chest: "Tou-san, I…"
"Hmm?" Hoshino looked at him strangely.
"No, it's nothing."
Kanpū swallowed his words halfway through. Right now, if he talks about revenge and so on, it will only worry his father!
'It's better to wait for me to become stronger and speak directly with actions!'
The father and son were sitting on the sofa to communicate their feelings. Kanpū talked about his mission, and Hoshino talked about the battlefield. Both of them had a tacit understanding and took all the dangerous places in one stroke and competed with each other.
After finishing his bragging, Kanpū asked: "Tou-san, what are you going to do in the future?"
Hoshino smiled and said: "I can no longer hold a sword, so I can only retire. From now on, I will take a walk and play chess with your Grandpa Inoue and Grandpa Matsushita."
Right now, Gekkō Clan has opened more than a dozen taverns in Konoha because of the hot sales of the crayfish, earning a lot of money every day, so there is no pressure on Hoshino even if he retires, and all this is due to his son!
Kanpū didn't say anything. Although Hoshino seems to be in a good mood, all of this is just the pretense to cover up the hatred in his heart!
The reason why he doesn't show it is because he doesn't want to affect Kanpū. No, it should be because he doesn't want to affect Hayate, doesn't want Hayate to fall into the abyss of hatred, and don 't want Hayate's future to be covered by hatred!
Kanpū does not comment on whether this approach is correct or not, after all, it is his father's intention.
In the evening, Hayate came back with his schoolbag on his back.
"Big brother!"
When he saw Kanpū in the living room, Hayate immediately pounced on him.
Kanpū stretched out his hand to hold Hayate's head, while Hayate's hands are flailing around, but it's too short to touch Kanpū.
"Big brother…" Hayate felt very wronged.
"Stand up straight and speak well." Kanpū took out the majesty of an older brother, and his expression was sacred and inviolable.
"I understand." Hayate lowered his head and stood up straight, and when Kanpū retracted his hand, he immediately rushed to hug him, "Big brother, I miss you so much!"
On the side, Hoshino looked at them with a look of relief in his eyes.
It's just that Kanpū's expression is a bit… unpleasant.
'I never see Hayate became so excited when I came back from a mission before?'
'Why is he doing this?'
'Was he dumped by Uzuki Yūgao and asked for comfort?'
'Not enough pocket money so he run after me?'
Just as Kanpū was wondering, Hayate suddenly pulled him towards the backyard.
Kanpū was startled, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When he got to the backyard, Hayate pulled him to a corner of the backyard, and said with bitter expression: "Big brother, what should I do?"
"What should you do?" Kanpū's hands are crossed near chest, and he showed the unperturbed look of an older brother.
"After Uncle Hoshino came back, he asked me to train Kenjutsu every day."
Hayate lowered his head and said aggrieved, "I don't have time to read now."
What he means by reading is naturally to train the Body Revival Technique!
This is not to say that Hayate is unwilling to train Kenjutsu, but he has learned from his big brother that training Kenjutsu is a long-term process which may take five, ten, or twenty years, and it is unable to make him stronger just by training in it for a short time.
But Body Revival Technique is different. His brother has successfully graduated from the Academy in just half a year of training this Forbidden Technique. With such a jewel in front of him, Hayate naturally wants to train Body Revival Technique first. As for Kenjutsu, he will still train in it, but his main focus would be on Body Revival Technique!
His plan is very good, but he didn't expect that after Hoshino come back, he would urge him to train Kenjutsu every day, unable to relax for even a moment, let alone reading, he almost couldn't find time to find Yūgao and play with her.
"You can't read?"
Kanpū didn't know the plan in Hayate's mind, but just now, his cheap has told him that he would retire, and he would take a walk and play chess with Inoue and Matsushita. 'Is he trying to fooling him?'
Kanpū has a strange expression.
"Big brother, what should I do?" Hayate shook Kanpū's hand and looked at him pitifully.
"Even if you ask me, I can't do anything about it."
Kanpū scratched his head, as there is no solution to this. After all, who made Hoshino his father?
However, there is at least one thing that Kanpū can do very well. He then coughed and said loudly: "Hayate, don't be disappointed, don't despair, life is more than just living in front of you!"
"Huh?" Hayate was confused.
"Be a good boy as warm as a sunflower!" Kanpū said.
Hayate still has a confused expression: I still don't understand.
"Rainbow always comes after wind and rain!" Kanpū said again.
Hayate looked up at the sky: "Big brother, it's not raining."
'Didn't you understand?'
Kanpū searched his memory and said: "Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness!"
Hayate is completely confused at this moment: "Big brother…"
The brothers had a friendly exchange in the backyard for a long time, and finally… it was time for dinner.
Keiko walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes with a smile in her eyes. As expected, she wanted the whole family to eat together after so long.
Kanpū has a good appetite. Although his cheap father is injured, he is not dead in the end. As for the distressed Hayate, Kanpū can only give him a little extra pocket money, so that he can replenish his enthusiasm.
At this moment, a few black Kikaichū flew from outside the living room, and Kanpū knew it was something delivered to him.
When he ran to the backyard, he saw Shikuro's insect clone scattered, leaving a dark green scroll on his position.
Kanpū picked it up and saw that it was Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder, using both hands to release lightning that spreads on the ground or water. 'It's not bad.' Kanpū then silently threw a Collection Technique. Unsurprisingly, he failed, so he put the scroll in his pocket and went back to the house to continue eating.
After dinner, Hoshino began to urge Hayate to train Kenjutsu.
Kanpū created two shadow clones and ordered them to return to his room, one to read the scroll of Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder, and the other is to read the scroll of the Hazy Moon Night.
Inoue and Matsushita asked Kanpū to never take the Dance of the Crescent Moon and Hazy Moon Night's scrolls out of the village, lest the training method be spread out, so he did not bring the scrolls for the Land of Grass' mission and naturally he had not successfully collected them.
The two shadow clones were reading hard in the bedroom, while Kanpū stood on the wooden promenade in the backyard, watching with great interest.
Hayate holds a short sword with no edge in his hand, and then smashes against a newly buried wooden stake. Hoshino stood on the side, giving a few words from time to time, imparting his experience and tricks, as if he regarded Hayate as the hope of whole village.
Kanpū watched from 5:30 to 10:00 in the evening, and during the period, he only saw that Hayate had only rested for less than half an hour.
It wasn't until 10:30 that Hoshino announced with satisfaction: "Let's end here today, Hayare, you need to continue to work hard tomorrow!"
Hayate is already full of sweat at this moment, he's so tired that he couldn't even lift his sword!
Kanpū's brows tightly knit when he saw this: 'If he continues to train according to this amount of training, my little brother will fall sooner or later!
Thinking of Hayate coughing in the original work, Kanpū initially thought that the culprit was the old man Inoue and Matsushita, 'But I never expected it to be you…'
'You've hidden too deep!'
Kanpū squinted his eyes, and it seems that he needs to have an in-depth exchange with his cheap father!
