Might Guy was overjoyed to see konohas youth filled with youth and he offered both of them "Oh! You really are like shining star in my syes. How about it, do you want to practice with me?!"
Rock Lee's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Can I?"
"Of course! I approve of you!" Might Guy gave another thumbs-up, his teeth gleaming.
Although Naruto couldn't stand this hot-blooded pair, he couldn't help but interrupt when he heard Might Guy's approval of Rock Lee. "Um, excuse me… What about me?"
Might Guy laughed heartily. "Your name is Naruto, right? I have also seen your practice and hard work, so of course, I recognize you too!"
Naruto couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Is that so? Ahaha, ahaha…"
Might Guy jumped up lightly, and this time he was still walking upside down, but he was only using one finger! "Come on, Lee, Naruto! Keep up with my speed!"
Naruto and Rock Lee were shocked. "Only one finger?! Is that guy really a monster?!"
The two looked at each other, shocked but unwilling to admit defeat.
"I can't lose to a single finger!"
"Let's go, Lee!"
"Oh, Naruto!"
The two of them were ignited with passion again, using both hands to madly chase after the running Might Guy. Three puffs of dust suddenly rose up on the path surrounding Konoha Village. Passersby coughed continuously and couldn't help but frown as they looked at the backs of the three figures.
"Really… What a bunch of madmen…"
…
Under the leadership of Might Guy, Naruto and Rock Lee completed the goal of thirty laps almost without stopping. In order to meet the System's requirements, Naruto secretly walked a few more steps upside down. When he finally stopped, he completely collapsed into a ball of mud, melting onto the ground. Rock Lee had also reached his limit. His face turned pale, and he lay down in the shape of a large 'X,' gasping for breath violently.
[Congratulations to the host for completing today's physical training. Physical strength +5, current physical strength has reached 90 points!]
Naruto was immediately overjoyed. *'90 points! This is my best result ever!'*
Just then, Might Guy laughed heartily and showed an expression of great admiration towards the two of them. "You are worthy! If you still have the energy, would you like to learn a move from me? I'm not bragging, but my taijutsu is pretty strong!"
Naruto and Rock Lee's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You… you want to teach us taijutsu?"
"Really?!"
Although both of them had reached their limits, they were immediately revitalized when they heard that they could learn new moves! After all, both Naruto and Rock Lee lacked this kind of special training. They weren't like Konohamaru, who had been trained by special tutors since childhood. Likewise, they didn't have their own family to receive specific spiritual practice from. Might Guy's recognition was a pleasant surprise to them.
"Hahaha, of course, it's true! However, learning my physical skills is not that easy! Look carefully, this move is called… Konoha Whirlwind!"
Might Guy instantly got into position, and his green-clad body suddenly moved at such a speed that the two boys could hardly see him clearly! Then, a violent physical skill was instantly unleashed. His legs spun rapidly in the air like a whirlwind, making it impossible for an enemy to see where his attack was coming from! At that moment, a fierce kicking skill broke out!
*Boom—*
Might Guy's kick hit a large tree hard! In an instant, the bark flew and wood chips splashed everywhere, almost kicking the entire tree down!
"Whoa, that's awesome!" Naruto and Rock Lee both had their mouths wide open in amazement.
Might Guy laughed heartily. "That's only a fraction of my strength! Otherwise, the tree would have fallen! How about it, do you want to learn?!"
The two of them immediately jumped up and yelled, "Yes!"
"Great! Let's get ready to begin!"
"Good!"
Even though they had been training for the entire afternoon and it was already getting dark, Naruto and Rock Lee did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They immediately gritted their teeth, braced themselves, and dragged their nearly disabled bodies to accept Might Guy's special training.
Konoha Whirlwind doesn't seem to be a particularly powerful move, but in reality… in the original story, when Rock Lee first met Team 7, he used this seemingly simple move to instantly defeat the so-called genius, Uchiha Sasuke! If Naruto and Rock Lee could master it now, it would become a killer weapon.
Might Guy told the two of them the secret of this move directly. Naruto and Rock Lee immediately began to practice. At this time, the foundation that Naruto had accumulated before took effect.
[Knowledge Absorption]The power of the entry is activated! The comprehension and mastery of the moves have been greatly improved!
Not to mention, his current physical strength had reached 90 points. Forget his peers, even some graduated Genin and even some Jonin would be no match for him!
So… it only took Naruto a little more than half an hour to basically master the secret of this move! Although his skills were still far from mature, and his strength couldn't be compared with Might Guy's, he had already gotten a glimpse of the idea, and it looked pretty decent!
But Rock Lee was a little behind. His body had indeed been prepared after all the desperate training, but his understanding was just a little lacking. However, Rock Lee is no ordinary person. He is a hardworking genius! Even though he couldn't master it for a long time, he never stopped and continued to practice hard, over and over again!
At this time, the moon had risen, illuminating the entire Konoha Village. The surroundings gradually became quiet. Only Naruto and Rock Lee's training continued.
Might Guy nodded in appreciation. "Okay, Lee, Naruto! You two are really great! Although you haven't fully mastered it yet, you already know how to practice. From now on, it's up to you! I'm leaving."
Naruto and Rock Lee looked at each other and bowed quickly. "Thank you, Teacher Guy!"
"Hahaha, you're welcome. Remember that one sentence… youth is meant to be burned!"
The two clenched their fists. "Oh!"
Under the moonlight, Might Guy left with a big laugh.
Naruto glanced at Rock Lee and said, "Lee, are you going to continue your training?"
Rock Lee said with a firm look, "Yes! Naruto, I am not a genius like you. I can only rely on working even harder!"
*I am not a genius* Naruto thought but he felt a little ashamed. If he hadn't obtained the power of the entry, he might not be able to compare to Rock Lee. He also wanted to continue training with him, but…
[It's time for dinner. Healthy nutrition is essential for the host's growth. Please eat on time!]
Naruto could only wave his hand and say, "Well, I'm going to go home and eat. Tomorrow afternoon, let's meet at the same time and place!"
Rock Lee smiled brightly. "Oh! It's a deal!"
Looking at Naruto's back, Rock Lee did not feel any jealousy or inferiority. Instead he felt Rock Lee just got motivated much more. Naruto realized that he has made an incredible friend today and maybe a rival too.
