Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

“Baki-sensei, is this Konoha? The gate is so big!” Temari exclaimed as she looked at Konoha's huge gate and the bustling crowd.

In comparison, the entrance of Sunagakure seemed like a small, old, and rustic alley.

Baki frowned as he looked at Konoha’s gate. Although this Joint Chunin Exam were a joint event among allied nations, with the emphasis on friendship and competition is only second, Baki had done thorough intelligence work in advance!

According to reliable information, he knew Konoha's gate couldn't be this large!

‘Of course, Konoha must have intentionally modified the gate for this competition to showcase its prosperity. Hmph, naive!’

Baki gazed behind the gate, the row upon row buildings, the bustling crowd, and the lively atmosphere, his eyes turned slightly red: ‘Despite being located in the desert, Sunagakure has been no less prosperous over the decades!’

Baki snorted, then lead the group of nine Genin including Temari, and more than ten subordinates, towards Konoha.

“Stop!”

Swiftly and unexpectedly, two figures appeared like a thunderclap, blocking Baki and his group’s path.

They were the two Konoha's gatekeepers, Izumo and Kotetsu!

“Come over here and register, Sunagakure’s people!” Izumo said.

As gatekeepers, they had known about the Joint Chunin Exam a month in advance. Otherwise, upon seeing this group of twenty Sunagakure’s Shinobi, they would have already sounded the alarm long ago.

Baki knows that this is Konoha’s rules, so he walks over to take the lead to start the registration.

Baki’s brow twitched as he wrote the three numbers, and then, he continued.

‘Is this really the form Konoha uses to register visitors?’

‘Damn it, they're blatantly gathering our intelligence!!’

Baki’s face kept twitching, but he didn't lose his cool. As an emotionless Jonin, he calmly put down the pen and continued reading.

Personality:

Dream:

Favorite Food:

Hated Food:

Parents:

Marriage:

Children: (If you have none, leave it blank)

‘Hehehe…’

‘Only fools would fill this kind of thing!’

Then, Baki heard a series of scratching sounds. He turned his head to see that the nine Genin, including Temari, were immersed in writing the form.

‘Idiots!’

‘Who told you to fill this kind of stuff!!’

Baki, with a face on the verge of cracking, got close to Temari, and glancing at her form, he saw this idiot disciple had reached the last two questions.

Do you like the scenery of the Land of Fire: (Please state the reason)

If the Shinobi World is at peace, would you be willing to move to the Land of Fire: (Please state the reason)

For the first open question, Temari wrote ‘like’, and listed reasons, in Sunagakure there’s too much sand, strong winds, hot weather, and dryness being bad for the skin … and so on.

For the second open question, Temari wrote ‘willing’, and her reason was… she is still writing it.

Boom!

Baki didn't wait for Temari to finish writing, and slammed his pen onto the table heavily.

Temari and the others were startled and looked up towards the furious Baki. Taking advantage of the moment, Baki snatched all the forms from the Genin and tore them to pieces.

Temari and the others wore expressions of innocence and confusion.

Baki’s face twitched as he suppressed the urge to educate these naive Genin on the spot. It’s because he felt that education should come later. In short, he couldn't let Konoha witness their embarrassment!

But!

Baki turned his head and looked towards Izumo and Kotetsu, and laughed angrily.

‘Does Konoha have no shame?’

‘Is this filling in information?’

‘They're practically poaching us openly!’

However, he couldn't bring himself to question them, realizing that the blame lay with his own Genin being too foolish.

You’ll answer whatever they ask?

If you're this honest, what kind of Shinobi are you??

Baki is very furious.

“Sir, what’s the matter?” Izumo asked with a concerned expression.

“No, it’s nothing, I…”

Baki gritted his teeth. But before he could finish speaking, he saw Kotetsu handed over another form to Temari and the others. Temari and the others then picked up their pen…

‘Enough, you guys!’

Baki is furious!

“Temari, stop writing.”

Baki winked at his subordinates and motioned to them to write on these Genin’s behalf.

Temari reluctantly put down the form in her hand.

After ‘safely’ filling out the forms, Baki and the others finally entered Konoha smoothly.

‘Phew!’

Baki let out a long sigh of relief, only to discover that his back was somewhat damp.

‘As expected of the number one Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World, Konoha really can’t be underestimated!’

“Baki-dono, welcome to Konoha.”

While Baki was absent-minded, a voice came from the side. He turned to see a towering figure, the one surpassing his own height of 188 cm.

“You are… Gekko Kanpū!” Baki squinted: Konoha sent him to receive us.

Yes, during the Third Shinobi World War, Kanpū and Kakashi had accompanied the now Yondaime Hokage, Minato to Sunagakure’s frontline camp. With this connection, either Kanpū or Kakashi would be the ones to receive them.

But Kakashi is now the Military Police Force’s Captain, so Kanpū is the only one to receive them.

While exchanging pleasantries with Kanpū, Baki thought of information about Kanpū.

‘Proficient in Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, good at Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, possesses the Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai, insidious fighting style (using Konoha-Style Kenjutsu and Transparent Release to assassinate a large number of Sunagakure’s Shinobi during the Third Shinobi World War). Although he is only a Tokubetsu Jonin, he was undoubtedly a formidable and difficult opponent!’

As for Sage Mode, Space-Time Ninjutsu and the like, only some people in the Shinobi World knows about it, but information and so on are extremely precious in Shinobi World. Most of it was well-guarded and not widely known, so Baki wasn’t clear about it.

Winding through streets and alleys, making turns left and right, under Kanpū’s lead, Baki’s entire group walked from morning until afternoon. After visiting more than half of Konoha’s bustling streets, the entire group finally arrived at their destination: Ichigo Hot Spring Inn!

That’s right, this was the place where Konoha entertained their foreign guests.

“This is it.”

Kanpū showed a smile that could make people reconsider their life choices, “From now on, everyone from Sunagakure will stay here. Not only can you soak in hot spring every day, you can also socialize with Shinobi from the other villages.”

“That… thank you.” Baki forced a smile. If he remembered correctly, they already passed by here just two hours ago…

“This is what I should do, Baki-dono, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”

Kanpū said with a smile, “If you need anything, just let the employees of Ichigo Hot Springs know. They’re all subordinates that I carefully trained and they can satisfy you in any position- I mean, no matter how abnormal you are, my subordinates can satisfy you.”

‘Yeah, that's what I meant. Maybe I didn't express it clearly enough, I’m really sorry, I only have elementary school education…’ Kanpū silently apologizes.

“…Thank you.” The smile on Baki’s face was about to collapse.

“Well then, excuse me.” Kanpū turned and left.

Growl growl…

“Baki-sensei.”

Rubbing her hungry stomach, Temari couldn't hold back any longer. After wandering around for the entire morning and half the afternoon, she was really starving, especially with the tempting delicacies all over Konoha's streets. That temptation… But due to the majesty of her teacher, Baki, Temari could only endure it. She didn’t even dare to eat Food Pills, so as not to be seen as a joke by Konoha’s Shinobi.

Now that the annoying Gekko Kanpū had finally left, she couldn’t hold it anymore!

Baki is also hungry, but when he thinks about what happened at Konoha’s gate in the morning, he couldn't help but get furious!

“Go in and settle your things.”

Baki entered the Ichigo Hot Springs Inn with a muffled voice. Inside, a roguishly handsome young man approached, leading them to a separate courtyard.

After the ambiguous man left, Baki waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to inspect the courtyard. Only after confirming it was safe did he allow Temari and the others to stay here.
