13 13. Sakumo evaluation

Upon reaching the backyard, Hoseki sees Sakumo is sitting on a stone waiting for them.

"Greetings uncle."

"G g greetings Ssakumo san."

"Ah you are here. You brings your friends too? Anyway, you are late. Both of you, 200 push up and we will talk." Sakumo give them his order.

"Yes uncle!"

" Eh? Ahh, yyes sir!"

While Hoseki has expected to be punish, Guys suprise with the sudden punishment. Hoseki knows how strict his uncle when come to training time as he had been punished before.

"You too Kakashi." seeing Kakashi stands and does nothing, he include him into his order.

Kakashi doesn't want to reason with his father as he go straight for the push up.

"So Hoseki, I heard what happened in this month I left the village. While I am not stopping you with your new study and training, I want to know how much has you improve. So, Let me see how far has you improve. Sakumo directly attack Hoseki with his leg. As Hoseki start to evade Sakumo also gives a punch to Guy.

Guy who is shocked by sudden fight, doubles his shocks when he also got attack suddenly. But the shock doesn't stop him to defend himself and struck back towards Sakumo.

Kakashi takes a few steps back and just watch the brawl.

As the brawl continues, the confused Guy and Hoseki start to cooperate to fight Sakumo. Hoseki use all his arsenal in ninjutsu, taijutsu and his rarely come out black bamboo as Guy only have his taijutsu and his item. Sakumo keeps evaluate them as they fight.

"Dammit Guy. Why are you throws your kunai here? Kakashi who is watching them, while sitting on the tree shout out when his 'little brother' almost got hit suddenly by Guy's kunai.

"Miss. I miss. Sorry. " Guy shouts as he continue to attack

Ninjutsu, taijutsu, shuriken and kunai. All of them never hurt Sakumo no matter how much they throw at him.

So Hoseki signal Guy to use their trump card. As they are preparing to pull out next attack, Sakumo eyes turn sharp upon the change of chakra fluctuation in both of them.

2 weeks prior.

"Guy, have a look at this move." Hoseki suddenly called for Guy while they are training.

Guy saw Hoseki making a new posture and as he found some spike in Hoseki chakra. Hoseki's chakra was pushed toward his feet as Guy saw Hoseki suddenly disappeared and stand in front of him.

"How is my new movement Guy?" Hoseki ask guy whole rais is eyebrows

"Awesome! Awesome! What was that Hoseki? New ninjutsu?" Guy excited with the move played by Hoseki.

"Ninjutsu? Nah i don't think so. It doesn't need hand-sign to activate. While it used chakra as based, I still don't think it is worth to call a ninjutsu. It's a form of movement which resulted from pressure of chakra that you send to your feet, to produce an instant movement."

"I also try to do it with my arm and fist and.." Hoseki punch the tree.

"Bomm!!

The tree trunk explode and the tree fell to the ground.

"I call it Gear Second" Hoseki explain it with smile

Yes the skill is created by Luffy based on Hoseki 'original' memories. While Luffy used his blood as a pump, Hoseki don't think that he can use his blood to create the pressure. As he try to compare to marine Soru, the gear second is more clear concept of the techniques.

So Hoseki decide to recreate the technique using his chakra with the same concept of 10x chakra pressure as replacement. With some training he can control the output of chakra and stabilize his movement. Although it not perfectly complete as he can only move in one direction for now. While he is faster, the move consume his chakra as he can only if for a short time.

"Teach me Hoseki. My spring need it for future advancement." Guys shine when he heard that techniques is not ninjutsu. As he lack of talent for ninjutsu, learning it probably is bad idea. But Hoseki revealed it only as a form of movement he excited for new fighting method.

"Sure. But it is difficult to control."

As Hoseki keeps teach Guy, he dumbfounded that Guy do have talent in chakra method and wondering why he was said to has no talent in ninjutsu.

After a week of training, Guy success his first movement techniques as Hoseki decide to tell him about Soru. Guy feel his style is more on soru which using his physical is easier to control. He only use the chakra on his fist to improve his combat.

Hoseki see what Guy method as he try to follows him to reduce chakra but realized his leg power is also reduced as he implement that.

.

.

.

Sakumo focus on both of them as he realized they make different style on same techniques. While His nephew Hoseki chakra is focus on his feet, another boy focus his chakra on his arm. Although he hardly agree that the boy focus in his chakra control, the accumulation is there.

Suddenly, he sees they disappear and appear in both of his side punching and kicking him simultaneously. He tries to guard against them as feel high pressure force hitting him flying.

Hoseki and Guy breath heavily as they use all their energy on the attack.

"Hahaha. That's was a good attack. Same style as tsunade punch with different concept i guess. So what it is call?"

"We call it Gear Second. Mine was chakra version and Guy was physical version." Hoseki answer the question with simple explanation together with the difference version he had with Guy.

.

.

.

Sakumo stands in front Hoseki and Guy while looking at them.

Then, he turn to Guy, "Your name is Guy right?"

"Yes!"

"As a ninja, I can say you really have bad prospect to be a good ninja. You can't do a ninjutsu and hardly have any skill on other jutsu except taijutsu. You also has sloppy skill on shuriken and kunai."

"The only good point you have is on your taijutsu. A good reflect and instinct makes you a good fighter. But, to succeed being a good ninja will be a torn road for you."

" Anyways, I believe, at the rate you trains yourself you will find two answer. Whether you collapse in your journey or you will surpassed other ninja and become one of the best."

"My youth spirit won't fall to any torn on the road. I will definitely become the best. Thank for your support!" Guy say in high spirits with his thumb up.
