[Boruto Uzumaki: "You've got to be kidding. He's only five, so why's he pushing himself so hard?"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Heh, I was pushing myself just as hard at his age!"]
[Boruto Uzumaki: "That's my master Sasuke for you!!!"]
[Uchiha Mikoto: "Come to think of it, Sasuke was always clinging to his big brother at that age..."]
[Uchiha Fugaku: "Mm, he ran around all day back then instead of properly training his Ninjutsu..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "..."]
[Boruto Uzumaki: "??? How come that's different from the version I heard?"]
[Naruto Uzumaki (young adult): "Boruto, don't listen to your master's bullshit..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha (young adult): "Heh, weren't you bragging to my daughter too, dead last?"]
[Naruto Uzumaki (young adult): "I... everything I said was true!!!"]
[Sarada Uchiha: "Wasn't the Seventh at the top of his class when he was little, just like Dad?"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Hahaha..."]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Damn you, Sasuke ☄ฺ(◣д◢)☄!!!"]
The scene continued,
(You all didn't like this part, so I deleted it all. It was just a bunch of brats mocking Guy, saying that his so-called self-imposed rules were a complete sham!)
(Might Guy argued back at them!)
The scene shifted,
Hiruzen stood on high, watching the scene below with a complicated look in his eyes.
The scene shifted again, and Might Duy threw a punch at Might Guy.
"Guy, you idiot!"
"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm already five, but I can't even run five hundred laps around the training ground..."
Might Guy covered his face, his voice choked with tears.
"Don't apologize. That's not why I called you an idiot. Don't apologize for your own hard work. How unfair would that be to yourself!"
"Then why?"
"You've misunderstood what a self-imposed rule means.
Running five hundred laps to make up for failing to get into the academy isn't a self-imposed rule. It's just a wish, no different from praying to the gods and Buddhas!"
Might Duy argued.
"Listen closely. A self-imposed rule means that when you face difficulties,
you deliberately place a restraint on yourself, push yourself into a desperate situation, and set a rule that belongs to you alone!"
"It's precisely because of this restraint that you'll take the challenge seriously.
If you fail, then by carrying out that rule,
you'll put yourself through rigorous training and keep improving. That's what a self-imposed rule is!"
After listening to his father, Might Guy nodded.
"I'm sorry, Dad..."
"But there was nothing wrong with your effort.
Even if you only ran half the laps, you really did work hard.
As a reward for your effort, have a hug!"
Father and son embraced tightly, ignoring the strange looks from the people around them.
The parents nearby were somewhat displeased with Might Duy,
thinking it was abuse to make a five-year-old undergo such rigorous training every day.
What kind of father would treat his child like that?
Might Duy gave them a thumbs-up. "Thank you for your support!"
[Ōnoki: "He's only five and already has to undergo so much rigorous training. That's too cruel..."]
[Fourth Raikage A: "A weakling isn't fit to be my son. If I had a son, I'd put him through rigorous training too!"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "666, the Raikage's an even bigger heavyweight!"]
[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "You're an even bigger heavyweight, and you're here mocking someone else..."]
The scene continued,
Might Duy taught Guy about self-imposed rules,
One day, Might Guy saw people mocking his father on the road. Furious, he went after the two Genin to get revenge.
Instead, Might Guy was taught a lesson... Kakashi couldn't stand watching any longer and rushed out to deal with the two Genin.
Seeing how effortlessly Kakashi had done it, Might Guy resolved to surpass him!
[Tobirama Senju: "That kid Kakashi has excellent talent. He can defeat ninja at just five or six years old!"]
[Hashirama Senju: "He really does. I'm afraid he's even more talented than I am!"]
[Tobirama Senju: "...Big Brother, stop being so modest!"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Heh, what's so hard about that? I could have done it at his age too!"]
[Uchiha Inabi: "...At his age, you were crying, 'Big Brother, don't kill me, waaah!!!'"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "."]
