Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

This river south of Konoha is a large river with rapid currents. And even though Kanpū chooses a slightly calmer section, it was still challenging for Naruto and the others who had just learned Water Surface Walking technique.

As soon as the three stepped into the water, they were carried away by the river in less than two seconds.

“Save blub blub blub… me blub blub blub…Kanpū blub blub blub… sensei blub blu…” Naruto was tossed around in the river, unable to finish a sentence before swallowing four or five mouthfuls of river water.

Karin and Hinata didn’t fare much better. They struggled, drank water, and yelled for help after being caught in the river's turbulence.

Kanpū covered his head at this: ‘So, none of you can swim?’

Kanpū immediately flickered on the river’s surface, and lifted all three of them onto the shore with one hand each.

“Oh~~”

The wet three people retched on the grass for a long time before finally recovering themselves, lying on the shore with lingering fears.

“We're saved.” Naruto looked at the blue sky and white clouds, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Kanpū took the opportunity to educate them: “Naruto, Karin, Hinata, don't be fooled by the seemingly calm surface of the river. Underneath, there are hidden currents, and if you're not careful, you might get trapped and unable to escape. Just like in this Shinobi World, it may seem peaceful, but in fact, it is extremely dangerous. If you are not cautious, you might sink without knowing how to get out. So in the future, when you become Shinobi, you must be cautious and prudent, understand?”

“Yes…” Three people responded lazily.

“Alright, continue.” Kanpū said.

After resting, Naruto and the others gathered to discuss and decided to learn swimming first to avoid the trouble of relying on Kanpū to rescue them if they fell into the water again.

The three of them walked into the river, hand in hand, and started to learn swimming. Kanpū didn't bother with them, just stood by and watched, intervening only when they were in danger.

Having been self-studying until the evening, the three people finally mastered the basic swimming skills, and in the meantime, they overcame the fear of drowning, and then started training the Water Surface Walking.

Hinata, being observant and already accustomed to manipulating Chakra due to her Gentle Fist’s training book, learned Water Surface Walking on the river the fastest. In just over ten minutes, she could walk on the river’s turbulent surface freely.

‘Hinata looks soft and weak, but I didn’t expect her talent to be so good…’ Naruto couldn't help but envy, and then clenched, he clenched his teeth and try Water Surface Walking again, repeatedly failing!

A few minutes later, Karin also successfully mastered the Water Surface Walking, and stood hand in hand with Hinata on the flowing river, smiling at Naruto brightly.

This made Naruto unhappy.

‘I am not convinced!!’

‘Is having red hair really that great?’

Naruto strongly felt that he couldn't lose to Karin no matter what!

After failing into the river again and again, and swimming back to the shore again and again, Naruto charged at the river like a stubborn ox.

“Big Brother, the sun is about to set.” Karin clutched her belly as she walked onto the shore. After training all day, she was starving.

“Naruto, let’s continue tomorrow.” Hinata also came ashore and tried to persuade Naruto.

“No!”

To be honest, Naruto is also very hungry, but seeing Hinata and Karin have mastered Water Surface Walking and left him behind, his stubbornness surged. He refused to go back, but being a kind-hearted person, he turned to Hinata and Karin, and said, “Hinata, Karin, why don't you two go back first? I'll stay here and continue training!”

“It’s already dark, Naruto, you…” Karin was interrupted by Naruto as soon as she opened her mouth. “Don’t say it, I must master the Water Surface Walking today!”

Naruto wiped the water off his forehead, it is unknown whether it is river water or his sweat.

Hinata and Karin look at each other helplessly, and could only turn to seek help from Kanpū.

Seeing Naruto's back, Kanpū thought he shouldn't dampen his enthusiasm, so he looked up at the moonlit night and suggested: “The moon tonight is beautiful, how about camping here together?”

Karin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: “Great, great! I'll go catch fish!”

She already found fish in the river early in the morning, so she was excited to go into the water to fish.

‘She’s still a child…’ Kanpū shook his head slightly, then said: “The river flows even faster at night. Leave the fish catching to me.”

Saying so, Kanpū formed hand seals and created three shadow clones, pointing at each one and assigning tasks arrogantly, “You, go into the water to catch fish, you, go gather firewood and start a fire, and you, go to the nearby forest to catch some wild game.”

“What about you?” The three shadow clones looked at Kanpū emotionlessly.

Kanpū’s expression turned serious: “I am responsible for coordinating your tasks.”

‘F**k you!’

The shadow clones rolled their eyes in succession, transforming into a straight line before suddenly disappearing.

Meanwhile, Karin, being restless, cleared the nearby weeds and created an open space.

Hinata nervously kept an eye on Naruto, fearing he might fall into the river and disappear.

Ten minutes later, the three shadow clones returned one after another, bringing back plenty of firewood, three wild pheasants, and four large fish. Then, under Kanpū’s central coordination, they plucked the pheasants, scaled the fish, and gutted them.

When they are about to start a fire, Kanpū intervened the shadow clones.

“What’s wrong?” The shadow clone looked at Kanpū impatiently.

‘What’s wrong… youngster is not sensible at all.’

‘Can they even handle this show of virtue?’

Kanpū pushed the shadow clones aside, then formed hand seals with both hands: “Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.”

Puff!

Kanpū spewed a small fireball to ignite the firewood.

In the next moment …

“Big Brother Kanpū is amazing!”

“I also want to learn Fire Release!”

Hinata and Karin’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Kanpū modestly smiled, not showing any pride.

After all, it is a trifling Great Fireball Technique.

Splash…

Naruto fell into the water again, and this time, due to exhaustion, he couldn't swim back. Kanpū quickly called for the shadow clones to rescue him.

‘Every day is so busy…’ Kanpū sighed quietly.

“So hungry…”

After coming ashore, Naruto coughed out a couple of mouthfuls of river water. At this moment, he was too hungry to move.

“Alright, let's start cooking.” Kanpū originally planned to instruct the shadow clone to grill the fish and pheasants, but considering that cooking the food themselves during camping would probably make it taste better, he directed the three expendable tools to go back to the village and inform their family so that they wouldn't worry.

Hinata helped Naruto to the campfire, while Karin handed a pheasant to Naruto before grilling a fish for herself.

After a while, the aroma of meat began to spread.

‘What else is missing…’ Kanpū rummaged and pulled out a sealing scroll, unsealing some chili powder, cumin, fine salt, honey…

“Big Brother, as a Shinobi, why do you carry so many condiments with you?”

Seeing Kanpū taking out more and more seasonings, Karin couldn't help but speak up, “Iruka-sensei said that Shinobi only needs to take Food Pills during the mission. Spending time on cooking will not only waste time, but will also leave traces and expose yourself. Big brother should understand this, right?”

Kanpū was not pleased at this moment. He wanted to refute, but considering the fact that these words were spoken by Iruka, he chose to let it go, ‘Let’s give that new teacher some face.’

By the campfire, the four, who had been hungry all day, wolfed down the three pheasants and four large fish in less than half an hour.

“Yosha, let's continue training!!!” Naruto instantly regained his vitality after eating enough, and turned around and rushed towards the river.

Hinata ran over to cheer him on, while Karin, having eaten her fill, lay on the grass. Gazing at the glittering stars in the night sky, her eyes blinked and blinked, until she slowly fell asleep.

Kanpū took out a windbreaker from the sealing scroll and covered her to prevent her from catching a cold.

About half an hour later, accompanied by a ghostly cry and wolf howls, Naruto finally succeeded in standing on the turbulent river.
