Chapter 106 Reunion with Might Guy, Living Against All Odds!
"Hey, Rock Lee, how much longer?"
Every day, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and thought, "Honestly, why did I have to go so far?"
If it weren't for Neji's invitation, I wouldn't have come this far.
"Hmm! We're here!"
Rock Lee looked at the training ground not far away and his eyes lit up. He smelled the scent of youth, which must be the scent of Coach Might Guy!
"Might Guy!"
He raised his hands and ran quickly toward the training field.
A green figure in the training field heard Rock Lee voice and responded with an equally loud voice.
"Rock Lee! Come on, now is the best time to sweat it out and embrace your youth!"
Neji and Tenten watched the two green kappa embracing each other, and their lips twitched slightly.
"Arno, Rock Lee, is this your father?"
Tenten whispered to Rock Lee, but Might Guy overheard her.
"No, wait a minute, Rock Lee is my disciple. We're both men who embrace youth!"
The exaggerated movements startled Tenten, who silently took a few steps back.
Seriously, I knew it! There must be a kappa mother here that infected Li and turned him into a green kappa!
Looking back at Neji's face, one could clearly see that the corners of his eyes were twitching, indicating that he was conflicted.
"Might Guy-sense, these two are my classmates, they also want to work hard with us!"
Lee raised his right hand and explained to Might Guy why Neji and Tenten had come.
"Soga soga".
Might Guy stroked his chin, closed his eyes, and began to think, displaying a real air of mastery.
"That was so...so youthful!!!"
The sudden climax caused Neji and Tenten to take a few steps back again.
"Young men and women, I am deeply moved that you want to enjoy your youth with us."
"But you must be mentally prepared."
"After all, youth is meant to be a vibrant time!"
Might Guy flashed his signature front teeth and gave a thumbs-up.
"Well then, please take care of me."
Neji thought for a moment and decided to step forward.
After all, he was determined to become stronger.
"Hey, Neji, really, I'll be looking forward to working with you too."
Tenten reached out to stop Neji, but failed. She shook her head helplessly and went over as well.
I'm doing this to prevent Neji from being corrupted into one of those kappa who keeps talking about youth!
"Oh!!! A beautiful combination between a man and a woman?! This is also part of youth!"
Might Guy watched the two little ones interact, his eyes filled with amusement.
But what about those two hiding over there? Will they also come and enjoy their youth?
Might Guy's eyes drifted to the trash can in the distance.
Clean the motor!
Naruto shuddered and pulled his head back; he should have known better!
With Lee's outfit, there's absolutely no one else in Konoha besides that kappa!
But he had Hinata with him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
However, that brief eye contact made Naruto realize that he had been discovered.
"What's wrong, Naruto Uzumaki?"
Hinata felt Naruto's body trembling against hers, and for a moment she forgot her shyness and asked Naruto with some concern.
"Hinata-chan, it seems like we've been spotted by that kappa."
Naruto slowly uttered these words, and then two strong green arms lifted the two stalkers hiding behind the trash can out.
"Hey! Isn't this Naruto? Long time no see!"
Might Guy smiled and carried the two little ones to the training ground.
"Young Miss?!"
Neji was startled when he saw Hinata's flushed face. Then he looked at the blond-haired man next to him who was trying to hide himself with a fierce gaze.
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
It must be that wicked blond guy who secretly followed me with the young lady.
"Neji-nii-nii..."
Hinata was a little flustered, unsure how to explain to Neji.
"It's alright. Miss, I know, it's all Naruto's fault."
Might Guy stood between the group.
"Are you training together too?"
Might Guy ruffled Naruto's hair roughly, then asked the two of them.
"No, Uncle Might Guy Kappa, we just came with Neji."
Naruto shielded Hinata behind him and said to Guy.
...
Might Guy!!!
Might Guy's expression went through a series of moments: petrification, tears, and then a renewed composure, as he looked at Naruto with ill intent.
"Naruto, I heard from Lee and Neji that you're incredibly strong now!"
Naruto looked at that familiar smile and vaguely remembered that the last time he saw that smile was when he was being rubbed.
"Actually... it's alright."
Naruto spread his arms to protect Hinata, a gesture that made Guy look like a bad uncle trying to trick a child.
"Um, I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just, how about we spar a bit?"
Since Rock Lee had just told Might Guy why he was here, Might Guy decided to address the root cause.
The first thing is to show Neji and the others how strong I am.
And Naruto is just right.
It's definitely not about wanting to get revenge on the word "acorn"!
Naruto: Huh? Me? You want to spar with me?
No, you're a Jonin!
I am a fourth-year student at the Ninja Academy.
Aren't you being a bit too much of a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?
"Don't worry, it's just a simple sparring match. You can leave after the match."
Neji also curiously leaned closer, after all, he was also very curious about how strong this green-skinned kappa was.
"Okay."
Seeing Neji's curious gaze, Naruto reluctantly agreed.
After all, he was caught following someone, and he even brought that person's sister along to do bad things.
The overwhelming sense of curiosity surrounding Neji made Naruto feel too embarrassed to refuse.
Where to play?
Naruto twisted his neck and stretched his wrist.
Since the other party is a Jonin, it wouldn't be against the rules for me to borrow some chakra from Kurama, right?
When I fought Sasuke before, I relied on my own chakra, which wasn't very satisfying.
"Which road to tow?"
Hinata anxiously tugged at Naruto's sleeve.
"Don't be silly, I'll definitely get you out of here!"
Naruto turned around and looked at Hinata, gently poked her forehead with his finger, and smiled.
The setting sun shone on Naruto's face, and a strange feeling of being a savior welled up within him.
Hinata's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Naruto's earnest gaze and nodded.
"Ganbatte".
"Oh! I'll definitely get out of here alive, wait for me!"
Might Guy: I don't know why, but I inexplicably feel like I've become the villain!
"Ahem, well, actually, no matter how the sparring goes, you two can leave."
Might Guy's voice weakened slightly.
Upon hearing Guy's voice, Naruto turned around, his back to the setting sun.
"Okay, I understand."
Hinata was bathed in the setting sun, while Naruto had already entered the shadows.
Neji: No, it was just a friendly spar, why did it turn into a romantic drama?! Naruto, what kind of ideas have you been feeding the young lady?!
Naruto: Uh, it's just a bit of a shonen manga with some melodramatic plot twists...
