Chapter 238: Come To Me If You Change Your Mind
In the early morning of the next day, Kanp 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, Reif, Yuki, and Yama also arrived.
After a simple greeting, the four waited together. After that, more and more Genin gathered around. Kanp looked around, but didnt find Shige and was a little disappointed.
At seven oclock, 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. Kanp 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.
Ive become a Chunin!
I also passed!
Reif and Yuki quickly found their own names and looked at each other with joy on their faces.
I saw Kanps name.
Why is Yamas name not there?
After the two found their names, they went to find Kanp and Yamas names, but unfortunately
I failed. Yama looked at Kanp with grief and indignation.
Kanp 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?!
Kanp, congratulations on your promotion to Chunin.
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind Kanp, he turned to look, and his heart suffocated.
Shimura Danz?!
Danz-sama.
Kanp was cursing in his heart, but his face is filled with cheerful smile, Long time no see, Danz-sama.
Faced with Kanps greetings, Danz just nodded lightly and said: I have something to tell you, come with me.
After saying that, Danz turned and walked towards the Hokage Tower, his back was full of sense of sacred and inviolable majesty.
Kanp narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to Reif and the other two, said his goodbye, and followed Danz 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 Danz sat down, he motioned to Kanp to sit across from him.
Danz-sama, I wonder what you want to tell me? After Kanp sat down, he felt uncomfortable all over and couldnt help but ask.
Its about your choice after being promoted to Chunin. Danz lowered his eyebrow and said in a deep voice, I plan to invite you to join Root!
Root
Kanp 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 peoples 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!
Kanp has seen so much, so naturally he will not make mistakes in such trivial matters.
Danz-sama, what is Root? Kanp asked solemnly.
Root
Danz 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!
Kanp nodded in understanding, then shook his head decisively: Sumimasen, Danz-sama, I have promised my father to join Anbu! (T/N: Sumimasen is written in RAW. It means sorry in Japanese.)
Danz shook his head and said: Kanp, even if you join Anbu, you will not be put in an important position.
Cant be put in an important position?
Kanp looked at Danz suspiciously. He felt that Danz was trying to fool him, but he also felt that Danz might have known something in advance. In short, this feeling was very uncomfortable.
What does Danz-sama mean? Kanp asked.
Do you remember the village extermination incident a year ago? Danz 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 Kanp and Shisui was investigating was silenced by Danz.
After Kanp and Shisui came back, Hiruzen originally planned to investigate clearly, but Danz stopped him with his righteousness, so the matter passed.
At this moment, Danz suddenly brought it up again. Naturally, he wanted to let Kanp understand that because of the village extermination incident, it is impossible for Hiruzen to put Kanp in an important position!
Kanp is still cursing angrily in his heart, but his expression is innocent and naive: Danz-sama, that matter was not caused by me and Shisui!
But Hiruzen wont believe it.
Danz 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 dont 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 Danzs vigorous, well-founded, rational and vivid rhetoric, Kanp almost believed it!
However, Kanps 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: Danz-sama, I, I still want to enter Anbu and give it a try, I believe Hokage-sama wont waste my talent!
When Danz saw this, he thought that he had planted the seeds of doubt in Kanps 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, Danz stood up and left neatly.
Kanp sat on the sofa with a troubled expression. He doesnt 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, Kanp 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 Kanps mind: Is your code name Peppa? (T/N: As in Peppa the Pig.)
Gekk Kanp, Hokage-sama is asking for your presence! Peppa said strangely.
I understand.
Kanp took a deep breath and followed the Anbu to Hiruzens 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.
Kanp respectfully greeted.
Hiruzen nodded, smoking his pipe and looked at Kanp. He knew that Danz had gone to meet Kanp, but he didnt say anything.
Because Hiruzen did not tell his advisors including Danz of the information about the Abyss, Danz has kept worrying about Yuki Aois defection on Crescent Moon Island. Nearly half of the reason he wanted to pull Kanp into the Root is because of this.
Kanp, 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 Kanp, This is your new certificate
Kanp 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.
Kanp 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: Theres another thing. I received a letter of recommendation from your father, are you ready?
A letter of recommendation from tou-san?
Kanp nodded tacitly: Yes, I am ready! Hokage-sama, I want to join Anbu!!!
