"What, have you heard of my name, you guy?"
Rock Lee: "...No, I haven't!"
Might Guy flopped onto the ground.
"Then what was that just now?!"
Rock Lee laughed heartily: "Although I don't know Teacher Guy's esteemed name, from your training just now, I felt it – that's the burning fire of youth!"
Might Guy was overjoyed: "Oh! You really get it, you guy!"
"How about it, do you want to train with me?!"
Rock Lee's mouth widened in surprise.
"Me, can I?"
"Of course! I acknowledge you!"
Might Guy gave another thumbs up, his teeth sparkling.
Although Naruto was a bit put off by this pair of hot-blooded eccentrics, upon hearing Might Guy's acknowledgment of Rock Lee, he couldn't help but interject: "ano sa, ano sa..."
"What about me?!"
Might Guy laughed heartily: "You're Naruto, right? I also saw your training and effort, so of course, I acknowledge you too!"
Naruto also couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Right?! Ah ha, ah ha..."
Might Guy lightly leaped up, still walking on his hands, but this time, he used only one finger!
"Come on, Lee, Naruto!"
"Keep up with my speed!"
Naruto and Rock Lee were aghast: "He, he's really only using one finger?!"
"Is that guy really a monster?!"
The two exchanged glances, both shocked and unwilling to admit defeat.
"We can't lose to one finger, right?!"
"Let's go, Lee!"
"Oh, Naruto!"
The two reignited their spirits, using both hands, and furiously chased after the sprinting Might Guy.
On the path encircling Konoha Village, three plumes of dust instantly rose.
Passing pedestrians coughed repeatedly, all frowning as they looked at the three figures.
"Seriously..."
"What lunatics..."
...Under Might Guy's guidance, Naruto and Rock Lee completed their goal of thirty laps with almost no rest.
Naruto, in order to meet Tong Zi Ge's requirements, secretly walked a few extra steps on his hands.
When he finally stopped, he completely collapsed into a puddle of mud, melting onto the ground.
Rock Lee also reached his limit, his face pale, lying spread-eagled and gasping for breath.
[Congratulations to the host for completing today's Taijutsu special training. Stamina +5. Current stamina has reached 90 points!]
Naruto was immediately overjoyed.
90 points!
This was an unprecedented achievement for him!
Just then.
Might Guy laughed heartily, showing an expression of immense appreciation to the two.
"As expected of the men I acknowledge!"
"Hey, if you still have the energy, do you want to learn a move from me?"
"I'm not bragging, but my Taijutsu, the Azure Beast Might Guy's Taijutsu, is invincible in the Ninja World!"
Naruto and Rock Lee's eyes immediately lit up.
"You... you're going to teach us Taijutsu?"
"Re, really?!"
Chapter 16 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Let me see what's going on? Holy crap?! Please give me monthly votes!!!
Although both had reached their limits, upon hearing that they could learn new moves, they immediately revitalized!
After all, both Naruto and Rock Lee lacked this kind of personalized special training... They weren't Konohamaru, who had private tutors from a young age.
Similarly, they didn't have their own clans and couldn't receive specific training.
Might Guy's acknowledgment was like a heaven-sent surprise to them.
"Hahaha, of course it's true!"
"However, learning my Might Guy's Taijutsu isn't that simple!"
"Watch closely, this move is called..."
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Might Guy instantly struck a pose, his green body suddenly moved, so fast that the two could barely see him!
Then, the violent Taijutsu was instantly unleashed.
His legs spun like a whirlwind, rapidly rotating in the air, making it impossible for the enemy to discern the true nature of the attack!
In that instant, a fierce kicking technique erupted!
Boom—
Might Guy's kick struck a large tree with full force!
In an instant, bark flew, wood chips splattered, nearly knocking the entire tree down!
"So, so powerful!"
Naruto and Rock Lee both gaped.
Might Guy laughed heartily: "That was only one-third of my strength!"
"Otherwise, this tree would have fallen!"
"How about it, do you want to learn?!"
The two immediately exclaimed with joy: "Yes!"
"Very good! Then let's get started!"
"Okay!"
Although they had already trained for an entire afternoon and dusk was approaching, Naruto and Rock Lee didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They immediately gritted their teeth, mustered their spirits, dragged their nearly crippled bodies, and accepted Might Guy's special training.
Leaf Whirlwind, on the surface, didn't seem like a particularly formidable move.
However, in reality... in the original work, 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 trump card.
Might Guy directly explained the intricacies of this move to the two.
Naruto and Rock Lee immediately set about practicing.
At this point, Naruto's previously accumulated foundation began to show its effects.
The power of the [Knowledge Absorption] entry activated!
His comprehension and mastery of the move greatly increased!
Not to mention, his current stamina had reached 90 points. Not only among his peers, but even among those Genin who had graduated, and even some Jonin, none could compare to him!
So... in little more than half an hour, Naruto had basically grasped the secret of this move!
Although his technique was still far from mature, and his strength was even more incomparable to Might Guy's.
But he had already gotten a glimpse of the basics and looked quite decent!
Rock Lee was a bit behind.
His body, through desperate training, was indeed ready, but his comprehension was a bit lacking.
However, Rock Lee was not an ordinary person after all.
He was a genius of effort!
Even if he couldn't master it for a long time, he never stopped, continuously striving to train.
Again, and again!
By this time, the moon had already risen, illuminating the entire Konoha Village.
The surroundings gradually quieted down.
Only Naruto and Rock Lee's training continued.
Might Guy nodded in approval.
"Good, Lee, Naruto!"
"You two are indeed excellent!"
"Although you haven't fully mastered it yet, you already know how to train..."
"From now on, it's up to you!"
"I'm leaving."
Naruto and Rock Lee exchanged glances, then quickly bowed and said.
"Thank you, Teacher Guy!"
"Hahaha, you're welcome, remember that saying..."
"Youth must burn!"
The two clenched their fists: "Osu!"
Under the moonlight, Might Guy laughed and departed.
Naruto glanced at Rock Lee: "Lee, are you still going to continue training?"
Rock Lee said with determined eyes: "Mm!"
"Naruto, my comprehension ability can't compare to yours, so I can only rely on working harder!"
Naruto felt a bit ashamed; if he hadn't gained the power of the entries, he Might not necessarily be better than Lee.
He also wanted to accompany Rock Lee in continued training, but... [It's dinner time. Healthy nutrition is essential for the host's growth. Please eat on time!]
Naruto could only wave his hand and say: "Well, I need to go home for dinner first."
"Tomorrow afternoon, we'll meet again at the usual time and place!"
Rock Lee smiled brightly: "Oh! It's a deal!"
Watching Naruto's retreating figure, Rock Lee felt no jealousy or inferiority.
On the contrary...
