Chapter 238: 238

In the early morning of the next day, Kanpū got up early to take a shower and wash up, and then ran to the Hokage Tower to wait for the list to be released.

 

After a while, Reifū, Yuki, and Yama also arrived.

 

After a simple greeting, the four waited together. After that, more and more Genin gathered around. Kanpū looked around, but didn’t find Shige and was a little disappointed.

 

At seven o’clock, Anbu appeared on time and posted the list of promoted Chunin on the bulletin board.

 

Others are looking for their names from the top to bottom. Kanpū is not like that. He goes directly from the bottom to the top… and there is no need to go up as his name is at the last one.

 

“I’ve become a Chunin!”

 

“I also passed!”

 

Reifū and Yuki quickly found their own names and looked at each other with joy on their faces.

 

“I saw Kanpū’s name.”

 

“Why is Yama’s name not there?”

 

After the two found their names, they went to find Kanpū and Yama’s names, but unfortunately …

 

“I failed.” Yama looked at Kanpū with grief and indignation.

 

Kanpū looked at him and said earnestly: “Brother, failure is not terrifying, just get used to it.”

 

Hearing this, Yama is furious: ‘Are you a devil?!’

 

“Kanpū, congratulations on your promotion to Chunin.”

 

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind Kanpū, he turned to look, and his heart suffocated.

 

‘Shimura Danzō?!’

 

“Danzō-sama.”

 

Kanpū was cursing in his heart, but his face is filled with cheerful smile, “Long time no see, Danzō-sama.”

 

Faced with Kanpū’s greetings, Danzō just nodded lightly and said: “I have something to tell you, come with me.”

 

After saying that, Danzō turned and walked towards the Hokage Tower, his back was full of sense of sacred and inviolable majesty.

 

Kanpū narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to Reifū and the other two, said his goodbye, and followed Danzō into Hokage Tower.

 

The two went up to the second floor one after the other, and arrived at a small conference room. The conference room was only a dozen square meters in size and was simply furnished, with only two sofas and a table.

 

After Danzō sat down, he motioned to Kanpū to sit across from him.

 

“Danzō-sama, I wonder what you want to tell me?” After Kanpū sat down, he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn’t help but ask.

 

“It’s about your choice after being promoted to Chunin.” Danzō lowered his eyebrow and said in a deep voice, “I plan to invite you to join Root!”

 

“Root…”

 

Kanpū revealed a fleeting surprise in the right moment.

 

Among the ten detective TV shows in his past life, at least eight will mention this, saying that people’s expressions of surprise, shock, and disbelief will only appear for a moment. If the person keeps having this expression, without a doubt, they are faking it!

 

Kanpū has seen so much, so naturally he will not make mistakes in such trivial matters.

 

“Danzō-sama, what is Root?” Kanpū asked solemnly.

 

“Root…”

 

Danzō raised his eye and said in a bewitching tone, “If Konoha is like a prosperous tree, then Hokage is the branches and leaves bathed in the sunlight, and Root is the root that is buried deep in the ground!”

 

Kanpū nodded in understanding, then shook his head decisively: “Sumimasen, Danzō-sama, I have promised my father to join Anbu!” (T/N: Sumimasen is written in RAW. It means sorry in Japanese.)

Danzō shook his head and said: “Kanpū, even if you join Anbu, you will not be put in an important position.”

 

‘Can’t be put in an important position?’

 

Kanpū looked at Danzō suspiciously. He felt that Danzō was trying to fool him, but he also felt that Danzō might have known something in advance. In short, this feeling was very uncomfortable.

 

“What does Danzō-sama mean?” Kanpū asked.

 

“Do you remember the village extermination incident a year ago?” Danzō showed a grim smile, “At the beginning, Uchiha Fukken escorted the client and was attacked. Afterwards, you and Shisui went out of the village to investigate, and the result… “

 

As a result, the village that Kanpū and Shisui was investigating was silenced by Danzō.

 

After Kanpū and Shisui came back, Hiruzen originally planned to investigate clearly, but Danzō stopped him with his ‘righteousness’, so the matter passed.

 

At this moment, Danzō suddenly brought it up again. Naturally, he wanted to let Kanpū understand that because of the village extermination incident, it is impossible for Hiruzen to put Kanpū in an important position!

 

Kanpū is still cursing angrily in his heart, but his expression is innocent and naive: “Danzō-sama, that matter was not caused by me and Shisui!”

 

“But Hiruzen won’t believe it.”

 

Danzō sighed slightly, and said in a tired tone, “The Hiruzen I know is an idealist. No matter what he does, he always strives for perfection. No matter what decision he makes, there must be sufficient reasons! I don’t know why Hiruzen pulled you into the Anbu, but the only thing that is certain is that if the truth of the village extermination incident is unknown, doubts about you will always exist. Hiruzen will not trust you, and you will definitely not be able to reach an important position! Entering Anbu will only waste your talents!”

 

Listening to Danzō’s vigorous, well-founded, rational and vivid rhetoric, Kanpū almost believed it!

 

However, Kanpū’s inner activities are perfectly hidden under his handsome face. With a hesitant and confused expression on his face, he finally clenched his teeth and said: “Danzō-sama, I, I still want to enter Anbu and give it a try, I believe Hokage-sama won’t waste my talent!”

 

When Danzō saw this, he thought that he had planted the seeds of doubt in Kanpū’s heart, so he stopped persecuting and nodded: “In that case, I will respect your choice, but… if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time.”

 

After saying that, Danzō stood up and left neatly.

 

Kanpū sat on the sofa with a troubled expression. He doesn’t know if there are any Root or Anbu surveillance around him, so he has to make such an expression so that they can ‘see’ the weak spot in his heart.

 

After a long while, Kanpū released a long sigh, and then left the small conference room.

 

As soon as he went out, he saw an Anbu Shinobi who wear a pig mask.

 

A thought appeared in Kanpū’s mind: ‘Is your code name Peppa?’ (T/N: As in Peppa the Pig.)

 

“Gekkō Kanpū, Hokage-sama is asking for your presence!” Peppa said strangely.

 

“I understand.”

 

Kanpū took a deep breath and followed the Anbu to Hiruzen’s office.

 

In the office, besides Hiruzen, there is another person wearing Anbu attire with a sword on his back and an eagle mask on his face.

 

“Hokage-sama.”

 

Kanpū respectfully greeted.

 

Hiruzen nodded, smoking his pipe and looked at Kanpū. He knew that Danzō had gone to meet Kanpū, but he didn’t say anything.

 

Because Hiruzen did not tell his advisors including Danzō of the information about the Abyss, Danzō has kept worrying about Yuki Aoi’s defection on Crescent Moon Island. Nearly half of the reason he wanted to pull Kanpū into the Root is because of this.

 

“Kanpū, first of all, congratulations on passing the Chunin Exams and officially promoted to Chunin!”

 

Hiruzen said, said, took out a Shinobi Certificate and handed it to Kanpū, “This is your new certificate”

 

Kanpū took the brand-new Shinobi Certificate, opened it, and saw that nothing else had changed, except for his Shinobi Rank, which changed from Genin to Chunin.

 

Kanpū showed a smile, then handed in his old Shinobi Certificate and said: “Thank you Hokage-sama, I will continue to work hard!”

 

Hiruzen nodded, and his expression gradually became solemn: “There’s another thing. I received a letter of recommendation from your father, are you… ready?”

 

‘A letter of recommendation from tou-san?’

 

Kanpū nodded tacitly: “Yes, I am ready! Hokage-sama, I want to join Anbu!!!”
