After a long talk with Hoshino, Kanpū decided to join Anbu in obedience to the Will of Fire and the Hokage, and then become active on the battlefield as Anbu.
It is now in mid-November of Konoha's Year 44, and the next Chunin Exams should be at the end of February of Konoha's Year 45, which means that Kanpū still has three and a half months to prepare.
As for what to prepare, it is naturally collecting.
Kanpū spent one night planning the collection plan for the three and a half months. First of all, he needed to collect the scroll of Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Hazy Moon Night. It has already such a long time he has obtained it, but he still hasn't managed to successfully collect it. It is kind of shameful for someone with Collection Technique.
Secondly, he needed to collect the Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation. In this way, he can master all of the Five Attributes Chakra. In the future battles, regardless of the terrain, he will not be in passive.
Finally, he needed to collect the people around him. That's right, Kanpū is ready to target his father and the other clansmen.
Although Gekkō Clan's Shinobi at Chunin-level or above all active in the battlefield, there are still many disabled Shinobi like his father. Some were disabled in this Shinobi World War, and some were disabled in the last Shinobi World War. There are also people who were disabled because of the mission. These people are Kanpū's targets.
Because he can only collect three times a day, Kanpū estimates that after collecting the people who are worth collecting in the clan, the time should be more than enough. And if there is any excess, he can go to the street to find more victims!
Thinking of this, Kanpū immediately began to act.
He created a shadow clone, and ordered it to read the scroll of the Hazy Moon Night, meanwhile, his main body is asking Hoshino to find the Shinobi who had mastered Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation.
Hoshino knew that his son's talent for training Ninjutsu is very high, so he didn't say any nonsense about him being a Genin, and he can't be so arrogant all day long and think about the content of Jōnin's training.
The next afternoon, Hoshino found an old Shinobi for Kanpū, Gekkō Nobita.
Nobita is the Shinobi of the Gekkō Clan's older generation, and is from the same generation as Inoue and Matsushita. Unfortunately, his legs were cut off in the Second Shinobi World War.
After he could no longer be a Shinobi, Nobita had no choice but to retire. He then taught Konoha-Style Kenjutsu to the younger generation of clan in a wheelchair, but after a few years like this, Nobita's spirit could not bear the pain of his severed legs, so he began to use alcohol to escape reality.
For the next ten years, Nobita was either drinking or on the way to drink. Such days not only made his body worse, but also depleted the assets he had stored when he was still a Shinobi.
After going bankrupt, Nobita relied on the village's assistance and the subsidy from the clan to live. The money was not much and was only enough to maintain a living, so drinking was impossible.
Fortunately, Kanpū was born and he helped Gekkō Tavern to occupy most of the village's tavern market with crayfish, so he was able to drink again.
When he heard Hoshino's request, Nobita agreed without saying anything further.
Kanpū met Nobita, who was in the dying years, in his living room. He was only skin and bones, and there's only dozens of scattered white hairs on his head. When he smiled, he revealed a few yellow-to-black teeth. He looked very much like Qiu Qianchi, who is the one from the Return of the Condor Heroes!
"Kanpū, call him Grandpa Nobita." Although Hoshino couldn't understand Nobita's drunken stupor over the years, it was a necessary courtesy to respect the elders from the same clan.
Kanpū looked Nobita, and felt quite emotional: 'Nobita is already a grandfather…'
He didn't care about this, and respectfully called Grandpa Nobita.
Nobita's eyes are a little muddy. It seems that he hasn't woken up from the hangover last night, but he was already prepared, he took out a scroll and handed it to Kanpū, and then said: "This is the training scroll for Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation. I wrote it by myself in my early years. If there's something you don't understand, just ask, I'm still not drunk."
'What a good guy!'
Kanpū silently gave a thumbs up. After taking the scroll, he really wanted to give all the wine at his home to Nobita.
Then, Kanpū opened the scroll in the living room and read it seriously.
On the other side, under Nobita's strange gaze, Hoshino bit the bullet and gave him a small bottle of sake.
After couple of mouthfuls, Nobita started hiccupping, and the scene was almost uncontrollable.
Kanpū ignored him, read the scroll seriously several times, and started collecting.
The green light cluster in his mind surged, but unfortunately, he didn't get anything in the end.
Kanpū knows that there are not many tricks in collecting scroll, so he can only read it a few more times and collect it again.
Unfortunately, he was very unlucky today, and all three collections failed.
When he raised his head, Nobita was already paralyzed in the wheelchair, drunk and unconscious.
"Although it's a bit rude to say that, but…!"
Hoshino stood on the side and looked at Kanpū seriously, "In the future, even if you are an adult, you must never drink alcohol!"
"…Yes." Kanpū can only answer this.
In the next few days, Kanpū will read the scroll of Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, and his shadow clone read the scroll of the Hazy Moon Night. After nearly ten days, he finally succeeded in collecting these two techniques!
After that, Kanpū spent half a day familiarizing himself with the Wind Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation, and then focused all his energy on the clansmen.
With the golden signboard of his father and the contribution of the tavern, Kanpū began to visit the Clan's Shinobi who have retired for various reasons. Calling uncles and grandpas respectfully, and then quietly collected them. Unfortunately, the probability of collection failure is still very high, and there are only so many Secret Art is Konoha-Style Kenjutsu (Nidaime Hokage has limited energy). In three months, Kanpū finally collected three more Secret Arts, namely Moonlight, Thunder Dance, Slashing Wind, and coupled with the previous the Dance of Crescent Moon and Hazy Moon Night, there's a total of five great moves.
And because of the large number of bases collected, the formidable power of these Konoha-Style Kenjutsu's Secret Arts has been improved in different degrees!
When the collection was successful, Kanpū wanted to let his shadow clone train, but considering that he is being monitored by Anbu now, he decided to keep a low profile, otherwise, too many cards would be exposed and he would become passive in the future.
Currently, next to the green light cluster in Kanpū's mind, there are already a large number of light blue dots around. Except for the fancy Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and five Konoha-Style Kenjutsu's Secret Arts, Kanpū's current best Ninjutsu includes:
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique, and Big Flame Bullet.
Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder.
Wind Release: breakthrough, Great Breakthrough.
Earth Release: Hardening Technique, Subterranean Voyage, Earth-Style Wall.
Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique, Great Waterfall Technique, Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Running Water Whip, Water Clone, Wild Water Wave, Water Formation Wall, Water Prison Technique.
With these, he should be stable in the Chunin Exams.
Soon, the assessment of the first Chunin Exams in Konoha's Year 45 began.
Except for the civilian Shinobi, each Great Shinobi Clan sent many Genin examinees to supplement the combat power of the front line.
In Gekkō Clan, in addition to Kanpū, there are three other Genin who also participated, namely Gekkō Reifū, Gekkō Yuki and Gekkō Yama.
Although more than a year has passed, Kanpū still remembers them.
At the beginning, they trained Kenjutsu from Hoshino at Kanpū's house. Kanpū collected Chakra Refining Technique and Three Basic Techniques from Reifū and Yuki. As for Gekkō Yama, Kanpū also collected him, but it is a pity that Yama's character is not very friendly, so Kanpū's collection was unsuccessful.
But Kanpū does not hold grudges.
He has forgotten all those bullshit accidents thoroughly!
Yes, it is like that.
