“You’ve come.”
“I have.”
“You shouldn’t be here.”
“But I am.”
“Get out! It’s one thing to barge into my house, but why are you in my bathroom, Guy? What do you want?”
Even the usually aloof Kakashi was at his wits’ end, looking exasperatedly at Might Guy, who had snuck into the bathroom.
“Of course, I’m here for a youthful and passionate battle!” The guy raised his arm and gave a thumbs-up with an enthusiastic expression.
Kakashi: …
If he hadn’t been covered in soap, he would have kicked Guy’s grinning face.
Who bursts into a bathroom at night demanding a duel?
“If you want to fight, at least let me finish my bath,” Kakashi retorted.
“Just like my eternal rival, you accept the challenge without hesitation. I’ll wait for you outside!” Guy beamed, his bright white teeth gleaming under the light.
Kakashi facepalmed. He wondered if his father had misjudged back then.
His father had believed that Guy could potentially become more vital than him and be a good rival.
Well, if Guy wanted to fight, let him see the difference in their strength.
Kakashi quickly washed off the soap, got dressed, and went outside.
“Let’s settle this!” The guy struck a fighting pose, full of passion.
“Are we competing in taijutsu this time?” Kakashi asked.
Since the first grade, Guy has been challenging him in various ways, not just fighting but also throwing shurikens and more.
“No, use your full strength and treat this as a real battle,” Guy shook his head thoughtfully.
“Are you sure?” Kakashi asked again.
If he used his full strength, he didn’t think Guy would stand a chance.
He had become a Chunin two years ago while Guy was still a student at the academy.
“Absolutely sure!” Guy smiled brightly.
“Then be careful.” As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, he threw four shurikens at Guy.
Guy dodged the shuriken, but suddenly, Kakashi was already close, throwing a punch.
“Leaf Hurricane!”
Guy quickly countered with a spinning kick, clashing with Kakashi’s fist, and they both stepped back.
“Hmm?” Kakashi looked at Guy in surprise.
He hadn’t expected Guy to react so quickly and counterattack, and his kick was unexpectedly fast.
Guy had challenged him in taijutsu two months ago.
Compared to last time, Guy had improved significantly.
“How about that, Kakashi? I’ve gotten a lot stronger,” Guy laughed heartily.
“Let’s see if you can keep laughing,” Kakashi’s eyes turned sharp.
Kakashi swiftly formed hand seals, creating four shadow clones. The clones then used the Clone Jutsu to create numerous illusions.
“So many Kakashi!” The guy was dumbfounded by the dozens of Kakashi surrounding him.
More and more Kakashi rushed at Guy. Guy used the Leaf Hurricane again, knocking down dozens of Kakashi, but they were all illusions. The remaining shadow clones took the opportunity to strike.
As Guy struggled to cope, a hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing his foot.
“Earth Release: Head Hunter Jutsu!”
Guy felt himself sinking rapidly, and when he realized what was happening, his entire body was buried except for his head.
“The battle is over,” Kakashi said, crouching beside Guy’s exposed head.
“Kakashi, as expected of my eternal rival, you’re powerful,” Guy sighed.
Against that Hyuga clan student, he had been able to hold his own but lost due to the Byakugan’s insight.
But fighting Kakashi, aside from the initial taijutsu clash, he quickly fell behind and Kakashi seized an opportunity to end it decisively.
A one-sided battle; that’s all Guy could say.
“Knowing how strong I am, train harder before rechallenging me. At least graduate first,” Kakashi said bluntly.
“Alright, I’ll come back when I’m stronger,” Guy laughed.
Kakashi felt like Guy had selective hearing, ignoring the second part of his statement.
Too tired to argue, Kakashi released Guy and went home.
Guy dusted himself off, watching Kakashi’s retreating figure, and clenched his fists.
“I need to get even stronger!”
This full-strength fight with Kakashi opened Guy’s eyes. To become the strongest, he had a long way to go.
Guy decided that tomorrow, he would ask Habu-sensei to help him create a more rigorous training plan!
The next day at the Ninja Academy.
“Now I’ll talk about the key points to focus on when performing the Clone Jutsu…” During ninjutsu class, Mokutsuki covered the basics of hand signs and chakra guidance, touching on the Three Basic Techniques.
Although there were only three jutsu to learn in ninjutsu class, there was plenty of related theory to cover.
“Habu-sensei, since the Clone Jutsu’s main goal is to create illusions to confuse the enemy, can I combine the Clone Jutsu with the Transformation Jutsu to create an illusion that’s more deceptive?” Kotetsu Hagane asked.
Mokutsuki thought seriously for a moment and realized it was possible. In fact, someone had developed an upgraded version in the original series.
That was Naruto’s Sexy Jutsu, combining clones, illusions, and transformations perfectly. Since it used Shadow Clones, it was even an upgraded version.
“You can try. We have many jutsu today thanks to the efforts of those who came before us,” Mokutsuki encouraged Kotetsu’s idea.
“But I suggest not using it in actual combat until it’s perfected,” Mokutsuki warned.
If Kotetsu ended up creating something strange, Mokutsuki worried he might get beaten up.
“I understand, sensei,” Kotetsu nodded, planning to discuss it with Izumo Kamizuki and Anko Mitarashi, his good friends.
He believed that with the combined wisdom of their class’s top students, they could develop a surprising jutsu.
“Class dismissed!” Mokutsuki announced as the bell rang.
[Lecture Completed]
[Evaluation: A]
[Reward: Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall]
“Finally, an Earth Release jutsu…” Mokutsuki was delighted.
Although the Earth-Style Wall wasn’t mighty, the system provided some natural transformation.
Now, Mokutsuki has mastered all five fundamental nature transformations.
After school, Mokutsuki encountered Might Guy on the way to the training ground.
His guess was correct, but it was still somewhat surprising.
