A Battle with Might Guy

Compared to Konoha Whirlwind and Konoha Gale, the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm was undoubtedly more difficult. Both Konoha Whirlwind and Konoha Gale had gained four hundred proficiency points over the course of the day, but the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm had only gained one hundred and fifty. This made it clear just how much harder the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm was.

Aside from taijutsu, the proficiency of the Basic Three Body Jutsu had also risen crazily today. After a full day, the Basic Three Body Jutsu had reached five hundred proficiency points, more than any of the three taijutsu techniques.

However, Xuan Ye had been cycling through all three taijutsu techniques while training. If he had continuously used just one technique, its proficiency definitely would not have been lower than that of the Basic Three Body Jutsu. Surpassing it would have been effortless.

As the sky grew darker, the outskirts of the training ground became increasingly dim. It was nearly impossible to see Guy training from the edge, forcing me to enter the training ground. There were plenty of electric lights inside, so brightness was no longer an issue.

After entering the training ground, I began watching Guy train from up close. Sure enough, the feeling was completely different from watching at a distance. At close range, I could see much more clearly, even catching some of the finer tricks of taijutsu.

Xuan Ye cast aside his other thoughts and carefully recorded the little techniques Guy used in taijutsu. If he did not watch closely, these tricks were genuinely difficult to notice.

Xuan Ye knew his taijutsu was currently inferior to Guy's, so he watched Guy use taijutsu as much as possible. He would learn whatever he could from Guy and incorporate Guy's experience into his own.

Although Xuan Ye knew that his taijutsu was no match for Guy's, that his ninjutsu was also inferior, and that there was no need to mention their difference in overall strength, he firmly believed that his future strength would definitely surpass Guy's.

He had a system, after all. If he did not even have the confidence to surpass Guy, what kind of transmigrator would he be? Would he even deserve to possess a system?

Guy continued his crazed, self-torturing training in the training ground, completely unaware that someone nearby was studying his experience with taijutsu.

At this point, Guy was not yet the Elite Jonin he would be at the beginning of the Naruto story. He was only a ninja close to reaching jonin level, still ranked as a Special Jonin. In the training ground, Guy used only some simple taijutsu techniques. He did not use any difficult or powerful moves, and naturally, he did not use the Eight Inner Gates either.

His taijutsu was not nearly as powerful as it would be at the beginning of Naruto, much weaker in fact. But no matter how much weaker Guy was now, one thing was certain: he was countless times stronger than me, whose body had only been strengthened by the system to genin level.

Guy's movements in the training ground gradually came to a stop. Just as he was preparing to head back and continue training tomorrow, he turned around and spotted a child standing not far away in the training ground.

But why was a child in the training ground? Could it be that this child had been drawn here by his perfect movements and standard taijutsu? That had to be it. This was youth!

Guy thought to himself, I should first find out whose child that is and see if I know him.

Guy focused his attention and gathered chakra into his eyes. Instantly, the range of his vision doubled. Though it was only twice as far, it was enough for Guy to see the child clearly.

Guy narrowed his eyes and looked at the child in the distance, who had somehow come to this training ground to watch him practice taijutsu.

"Eh? No, that kid looks a little familiar."

Guy lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering who the child was. "Isn't that Little Ye, the child of Lord Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage? I never expected Little Ye to be here, watching my taijutsu training. This is youth! I'm fired up!"

Guy looked at the four-year-old Xuan Ye. The boy was actually watching him train in taijutsu and learning from his experience. Just thinking about it was enough to make Guy's blood boil.

"Hey, Little Ye, how about the two of us have a battle of youth? Don't worry, I definitely won't use my full strength." After saying that, Guy grinned, flashing his white teeth as he raised a thumbs-up and looked at me expectantly.

What the hell? I'm only four years old, and you've lived in this Naruto world several years longer than I have. Yet you want to fight me, and you even say you'll go easy on me and not use your full strength.

Fine, I admit that I can't beat Guy with my current strength. But is it really okay for you to say that out loud? I looked at Guy speechlessly. Whatever. I've watched Guy train for so long that I've wanted to test some of the things I just learned and see how effective they are.

Besides, since you wanted to fight me, I would fight you. It was also a good chance to see what I had gained today.

"Alright, I'm coming." Xuan Ye answered Guy, who stood in the center of the training ground.

Very quickly, Xuan Ye ran over to Guy's side, removed the weights from his body, and tossed them aside. After resting for a moment, he said to Guy, "Let's begin!"

When Guy saw the weights I had removed, he immediately became excited. "This is youth! Let us burn together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately left my spot, my eyes locked tightly on Guy in the distance, who stood motionless.

Xuan Ye immediately felt a little annoyed. What the hell, do you have to look down on me like this? I may not be strong, but is this really okay?

So I charged at Guy. Although Guy had remained standing still, he did not reveal any openings as I attacked, so I could only probe him with a tentative strike.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Konoha Whirlwind was a high-speed spinning kick used to attack an enemy.

Bang!

Just as I was about to kick Guy, he caught my leg with one hand and effortlessly lifted me into the air.

The gap in strength was still far too great. Aside from fighting with taijutsu, my use of the Basic Three Body Jutsu had not yet reached the required standard. My proficiency was too low, and using them would make it easy for others to spot my openings.

Meanwhile, Guy, who held Xuan Ye by the foot, was a little surprised. He had not expected little Xuan Ye, only four years old, to already possess strength capable of fighting a genin. If he had not used more force when catching Xuan Ye's Konoha Whirlwind, he probably would have embarrassed himself just now.

"Put me down! Put me down already!" Xuan Ye shouted at Guy while hanging by one leg.

Guy quickly released Xuan Ye, then laughed heartily. "Little Xuan Ye, although I won this battle, let us continue working hard together in the name of youth and grow stronger!"

After saying that, Guy once again revealed his trademark smile and gleaming white teeth.
