3 3.A week later

It has been week since Ken got transmigrated. For the whole week all he did was train,rest and try sensing his chakra. The week was partially successful as he felt himself get stronger and much faster. Ken's morning starts with a fifty run lap around the house,with his body development orienting more towards endurance.By wanting to take advantage of his flexibility he created a mini obstacle course in his backyard using logs and rocks.

Ken started consuming more fibre rich foods along plenty of meat.A strong body needs vitamins and minerals as much as protein. As The week ends Ken finds himself thinking of what to do to further to increase his strength. The immediate answer to that is to buy weights and start practicing the katas for the Academy style taijutsu. He decides to do so and goes to the bank to withdraw money for the weights, Moving towards the weapon's store he ponders on his immediate needs.

"This week really has gone quite smoothly, I would've thought that the old ken atleast had a few friends, yet no one came to check up on him, That's good news for me atleast, but what do i do for sensing my chakra, I've come to terms with my situation and thought that it'll lead me to sensing my chakra like those bullshit enlightenment moments in Chinese novels"thinks Ken.

Ken reaches the store while having his mental monolouge and bumps into someones back and fall on his arse. He quickly gets up while apologizing and looks up to find the bushiest eyebrows he has ever seen looking back at him.He hears a mighty laugh jerking him out of his daze and finds himself in the presence of the blue beast of konoha,Might Gai himself.

Might gai gives him a pat on his shoulder saying "Ah! no need for apologies my young friend". He asks ken,"Where are you headed to young friend". Meanwhile ken justs points towards the weapon store Might Guy's standing in front of meanwhile internally fanboying being in the presence of the man who kicked Six paths Madara to kingdom come.

Might gai seeing ken pointing to the weapon shop and explodes with enthusiasm screaming out"Ahhh! The joys of youth such passion towards shinobi arts makes my youth burn brighter".Ken quick on his feet asks Might Guy"Mister, Are you a shinobi?,If you are would you help me by giving me tips on how to improve my taijutsu".

Might Gai goes still for a moment and screams out "YOUTH!!!",he calms down after seeing the civilians giving him weird looks and coughs to clear his throat and says to ken"It will be my honor to spread the flames of youth to a passionate child such as you,And fear not for you are infront of the greatest taijutsu expert in all of konoha the Blue beast of konoha,MIGHTO GAI".

Ken plays the part of a dazzled kid and exclaims"Really, I'm so glad."He does a 90 degree bow and shouts"Please guide me, Sensei". Might gai laughs joyfully and starts patting kens head and asks for kens name and ken tells him. Might gai furrows his brows and asks for his fathers name and ken replies"Its Soichiro Jun". Might gai looks st him and stares at him for a few seconds and says "Your his kid eh,I felt like i knew you from somewhere".

Ken quizzically asks him"You knew dad?". Might Gai nods his head"He was an acquaintance, We talked to each other on a few occasions and went together on a few missions since he was a chunin, Last I heard of him was him retiring after getting married to another chunin", he reveals.Ken is ecstatic upon hearing this info and tries to fish some more benefits from might guy.

He hangs his head low and says"Dad and Mom died last year during the kyubi rampage". Might Gai stares at ken sympathetically and gives him a pat on the shoulder and says"I'm sorry for your loss.Don't look so down kid your parents would want you to be happy and live a peaceful life".Ken looks up and says"If i want a peaceful life i have to be strong, I wanna be strong. So will you teach me?".

Might Gai's face turns somber and looks at ken"A worthy ambition young ken but the path towards strength is not just for one's own satiety,The strong should help the weak by giving them hope for a better tommorow, The strong should make the weak see that anyone can dream for a better future for themselves and their loved one's by illuminating their path by being the flame that burns the most brightest, For it is the youth in ourselves that pushes ourself to never be mediocre, It is this youth that creates miracles in the toughest of times."

Ken stood infront of the man stunned,while his internal thoughts were"Damn,I was just asking for taijutsu tips not a philisophical meaning to my reasons for gaining strength". He outwardly just gapes at the man. Might Gai awkwardly rubs the back of his head and just tells ken to ignore his rambling and offers ken advice by telling ken to study all the books relating to human anatomy and offers dietary advice as well.

Might Gai then bids farewell"Young ken if you wish for further instructions regarding taijutsu come visit training ground number Three, and walks away. Ken just stares at his back and sigh to himself"Man that was intense"and enters the store.

WITH MIGHT GAI:

"Soichiro ken eh, what an intriguing lad, his reaction to seeing me was that of someone who knew me and my reputation, Why would he hide it though"Gai thoughtfully hums as he walks to his home."But I can see the hunger in his eyes, that need for power if properly guided can do lots of good to others, YOSH!,I have decided.KONOHA'S BEAUTIFUL BLUE BEAST shall aid young ken in his path to strength should he seek my aid".
