Chapter 16: Sarutobi Hiruzen: Let Me Take a Look, What's the Issue? Holy Sh*t?! Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!!
Although both of them had reached their limits, upon hearing that they could learn a new move, they instantly felt reborn!
After all, whether it was Naruto or Rock Lee, they both severely lacked this kind of specialized training treatment...
They weren't Konohamaru, who had a private tutor training him since childhood.
Similarly, without their own clan, they couldn't receive specific training.
Might Guy's approval was simply a surprise from heaven for them.
"Hahaha, of course it's true!"
"However, wanting to learn my, Might Guy's Taijutsu, is not that simple!"
"Watch closely, this move is called..."
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Might Guy instantly assumed a stance, and his green body moved abruptly. His speed was so fast that the two of them could hardly see clearly!
Then, the violent Taijutsu was unleashed instantly.
His legs spun rapidly in the air like a whirlwind, making it impossible for the enemy to see the attack clearly!
In that instant, a fierce kicking technique had already erupted!
Boom—
Might Guy's leg kicked fiercely into a large tree!
In a flash, bark flew, wood chips splattered, and the whole tree was almost kicked down directly!
"So, so amazing!"
Both Naruto and Rock Lee opened their mouths wide.
Might Guy laughed loudly: "This is only thirty percent of my power!"
"Otherwise, this tree would have fallen!"
"How about it, want to learn?!"
The two immediately jumped for joy: "Yes!"
"Very good! Then prepare to start!"
"Okay!"
Even though they had already undergone special training for the whole afternoon and it was getting late, neither Naruto nor Rock Lee wanted to miss this golden opportunity. They immediately gritted their teeth, braced themselves, dragged their nearly crippled bodies, and accepted Might Guy's special training.
Leaf Whirlwind didn't seem like a particularly powerful 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 killer move.
Might Guy told them the secrets of this move straightforwardly.
Naruto and Rock Lee immediately started practicing.
At this time, the foundation Naruto had accumulated before took effect.
The power of the [Knowledge Absorption] entry activated!
His comprehension and mastery of the move increased significantly!
Not to mention, his stamina had now reached 90 points. Let alone his peers, even those graduated Genin, or even some Jonin, couldn't compare to him at all!
So...
It took almost only half an hour for Naruto to basically grasp the secret of this move!
Although his technique was still far from mature, and his power couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Might Guy's.
But he had already crossed the threshold and looked decent!
While Rock Lee was slightly worse off.
His body, after desperate cultivation, was indeed ready, but his comprehension was a bit lacking.
However, Rock Lee was ultimately not an ordinary person.
He was a genius of hard work!
Even if he couldn't master it for a long time, he never stopped and continued to cultivate hard.
Again and again!
By this time, the moon had already risen, shining on the entire Konoha Village.
The surroundings gradually quieted down.
Only Naruto and Rock Lee's cultivation continued.
Might Guy nodded appreciatively.
"Good, Lee, Naruto!"
"You two are indeed good lads!"
"Although you haven't fully mastered it yet, you already know how to cultivate..."
"Next, it's up to yourselves!"
"I'm leaving."
Naruto and Rock Lee looked at each other and hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, Guy-sensei!"
"Hahaha, you're welcome. Remember that saying..."
"Youth is about burning!"
The two clenched their fists: "Osu!"
Under the moonlight, Might Guy left laughing loudly.
Naruto glanced at Rock Lee: "Lee, do you want to continue cultivating?"
Rock Lee said with firm eyes: "Mm!"
"Naruto, my comprehension ability can't compare to yours, so I can only rely on working harder!"
Naruto felt somewhat ashamed. If he hadn't obtained the power of the entry, he probably wouldn't be able to compare to Lee.
He also wanted to accompany Rock Lee to continue cultivating, but...
[It's dinner time. Healthy nutrition is essential for the Host's growth. Please eat on time!]
Naruto could only wave his hand: "Then, I have to go home for dinner first."
"Tomorrow afternoon, see you at the same time, same place!"
Rock Lee smiled brightly: "Oh! It's a promise!"
Watching Naruto's retreating figure, Rock Lee didn't feel any jealousy or inferiority.
On the contrary...
This was the happiest day he had ever had!
Not only did he have a partner to cultivate with, but he also gained that man's approval...
Might Guy!
"Naruto, Guy-sensei..."
"I will definitely work even harder desperately!"
Under the moonlight, Rock Lee continued his arduous cultivation, again and again...
...
Returning home, Naruto had already begun to skillfully prepare his dinner, wolfing it down and quickly filling his stomach.
Subsequently, the system notification sound he received was...
Chakra Refining Technique one hundred times!
Clone Technique two hundred times!
Naruto dared not disobey and immediately continued cultivating.
In the mental space.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox witnessed all this throughout and couldn't help but feel some ripples in his heart.
"Although it's said to be to avoid being electrocuted, but..."
"This bastard brat still has quite some perseverance..."
"Hmph."
He shook his head, his long fox ears twitched, then as if realizing his own emotional fluctuation, he scoffed and closed his eyes again.
...
Late at night.
Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.
Having finished a busy day of work, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyes, looking somewhat exhausted.
"I really am old..."
"To be so exhausted by these daily miscellaneous tasks..."
He lit his pipe, took a deep drag, blew out a large smoke ring, and felt much more refreshed in his heart.
"Cough cough..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed once, his gaze subconsciously falling on the crystal ball at the corner of his desk.
"Hmm?"
"By the way, haven't checked on that guy Naruto's situation for a few days..."
"Might as well take a look now."
"But, it's so late, he must be fast asleep already, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed a wry smile and activated his ninjutsu.
"Telescope Technique."
The scene inside Naruto's room instantly appeared in the crystal ball.
"Hmm? Seems a bit different, is it my illusion?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, feeling that Naruto's room seemed much tidier and cleaner.
Besides Naruto tidying up a bit himself, it was actually also thanks to Hinata.
While Naruto was doing problems, she helped Naruto clean the room.
However, for Sarutobi Hiruzen, this was naturally not the main point.
Soon, the main character, Naruto's figure, appeared in the crystal ball...
"Hmm?"
"Th-This is..."
At this moment, Naruto was actually still facing the mirror, bitterly practicing and cultivating his Clone Technique!
"Clone!"
"Damn it..."
"Clone!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's jaw dropped in surprise.
"Am I seeing things?"
He rubbed his eyes, narrowed them again, and leaned closer to the crystal ball.
However, he still saw the figure of Naruto cultivating hard late at night.
"What's going on with this guy Naruto?"
"Is this still that Naruto who is mischievous all day long, pulls pranks, and neglects his duties?!"
