Making Friends with Guy Sensei

Might Guy, commonly known as Guy Sensei, is one of the legendary Jonin of Konoha Village!

In the later part of the original plot, Might Guy, using the Eight Inner Gates Formation, gloriously defeated Zabuza once, earning himself the prestigious title of "Kǎihuáng" ("凯皇").

But what impressed Yasuke the most wasn't the terrifying power unleashed by Guy Sensei's Eight Inner Gates Formation, but rather his journey of growth.

In Konoha Village now, who is the true genius?

Apart from Yasuke, who has recently gained some fame, and Uchiha Itachi, another prodigy who became a Jonin at the age of twelve and created an S-rank Ninjutsu, there's no one else!

However, after the battle with Zabuza, Yasuke knew that Uchiha Itachi's reputation was beginning to decline.

Despite receiving the Sharingan from Tobi, anyone would have expected Uchiha Itachi to embark on another legendary journey in the shinobi world with his talent. But unfortunately, due to the burden of his bonds, Uchiha Itachi's progress stagnated. He even became an ordinary person during the original plot, and when he fought against Haku, it was a desperate situation. He almost fell into the hands of the demon.

On the contrary, Guy Sensei, the guy with average talent, seized the opportunity during Uchiha Itachi's downfall and caught up. With diligence and hard work, he earned the title of the Blue Beast of Konoha and became Uchiha Itachi's lifelong rival. Even in the original plot's Four Battles, he was much stronger than Uchiha Itachi, who became a supporting character.

So, if Yasuke truly admired someone, Guy Sensei was definitely one of them.

Especially at 5 in the morning, when Yasuke saw Guy Sensei's feet covered in dried sweat, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Graduating at 7, becoming a Chunin at 11, Guy Sensei definitely didn't rely on talent but on diligence and hard work. Compared to Guy Sensei, I seem to have been a bit lazy recently!"

"It took me nearly half a month, with the help of Shadow Clones, just to complete the first stage of shuriken training. At this rate, sooner or later, I'll be caught up by Yuna Uchiha, and other geniuses from Konoha Village!"

"No, even if it's just for the title of genius, I have to start working hard from today!"

"I'll leave the shuriken training to the Shadow Clones from now on! Anyway, the most difficult first stage of shuriken training is already completed. It's time to shift my focus on other areas of training!"

Thinking silently to himself, Yasuke looked at Guy Sensei sweating on the training ground and smiled faintly.

Then, he accessed the development function list and saw that the training of the new jutsu had just completed over 30%. Yasuke knew that it would take a long time to develop the new jutsu, so he decided to shift his focus to taijutsu.

Never underestimate taijutsu, as it is often the key in a shinobi's combat.

Even the future Uchiha Itachi, with his massive chakra reserves, would he have enough to use the Raikiri several times? In battles using the Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi often exhausted himself before his opponents fell. Hence, it's evident that most high-ranking shinobi rely on taijutsu during combat. Now, Yasuke's taijutsu is a weak point. If he doesn't diligently practice, even if he masters more clan secrets and ninjutsu, he'll still be a cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Recognizing his own shortcomings, he must make up for them.

Especially since one-third of the shuriken training has been completed, Yasuke believes that using Shadow Clones for training can complete the remaining two stages of shuriken training. So, after creating over ten Shadow Clones using Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Yasuke, feeling that only one-third of his chakra remained, smiled and appeared in front of Guy Sensei.

However, Guy Sensei, who was in the midst of training, obviously didn't notice Yasuke's presence.

Almost the moment Yasuke appeared, Guy Sensei assumed a combat posture and coldly shouted, "Who's there!"

"Sorry, I just scouted this training ground yesterday, and I didn't expect someone to be training here so early today."

"Um... Did I disturb you?"

Peeping at someone else's training is a taboo in the shinobi world.

So, as soon as Yasuke showed up, he quickly apologized to Guy Sensei. Fortunately, Guy Sensei wasn't a petty person. After that, Yasuke saw Guy Sensei smiling and saying, "So you're training too! No problem, let's train together! This training ground is relatively quiet, and I usually like to train here."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked for your name yet!"

"My name is Yasuke Nara, please take care of me in the future!"

"What? You're Yasuke Nara?"

Just as he reported his name, Yasuke suddenly noticed a change in Guy Sensei's expression.

Although the appearance was similar to the original plot, both had the iconic watermelon head and a tight green outfit, with only a red scarf around the chest, which looked a bit stylish.

But who would have thought that when Guy Sensei heard Yasuke's name, not only were there sparks in his eyes, but his teeth, exposed like an advertisement for toothpaste, were shining brightly.

"Yasuke Nara, I've heard of your name!"

"You're the genius of the village, aren't you? I want to challenge you!"

Alright!

Originally, Yasuke thought Guy Sensei had some special hobbies, but it turned out to be another challenger who came to challenge the genius.

However, while Yasuke might not care about other challengers, who was right in front of him?

That was the "Kǎihuáng" from the original work!

So, listening to Guy Sensei preparing for a challenge, Yasuke also smiled and replied, "You haven't told me your name yet, it seems a bit impolite!"

"Oh! Sorry!"

"My name is Might Guy, you can just call me Guy Sensei!"

Scratching his head

 apologetically, Guy Sensei smiled and asked, "Yasuke, I've always had a dream, and that is to prove that even those at the bottom can defeat geniuses. Kakashi used to be my target, but I haven't been able to find him recently. Finally, I met you, so I want to spar with you!"

As he spoke, Guy Sensei's eyes seemed to light up, and he immediately asked, "Yasuke, can we spar?"

"Of course, no problem!"

"But you should take a rest first! You've expended a lot of energy just now, right?"

Yasuke kindly reminded Guy Sensei, but Guy Sensei smiled back ungratefully, saying, "It's okay, this little training is nothing!"

"Yasuke, since you've agreed to spar, I'll go first!"

"Be careful!"

"Swoosh!"

If we talk about Guy Sensei's character, it's much simpler.

When you interact with someone like him, you don't have to worry about any other thoughts.

But even so, Yasuke was a little surprised by this sparring invitation.

Especially since Yasuke's taijutsu was not very good to begin with. Although Guy Sensei used his signature Leaf Whirlwind when attacking, under Guy Sensei's immense power, Yasuke, who tried to withstand Guy Sensei's Leaf Whirlwind with his palm, still couldn't help but step back a few steps.

However, after stabilizing his figure a few steps back, Yasuke looked at Guy Sensei with a different gaze!

"Great, Guy Sensei, your taijutsu is indeed impressive!"

"But relying on taijutsu alone won't be enough to defeat me!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"
