Early the next morning, Minato Namikaze bid farewell to Veigar, Kakashi Hatake, and Takeuchi Jōji and his wife.

"Mr. Jōji, we'll be leaving now."

At the entrance to Yamagō Village, Minato Namikaze spoke to Takeuchi Jōji.

A trace of worry lingered on Takeuchi Jōji's face. He nodded and replied, "Thank you for what you did this time, Lord Minato."

Minato Namikaze waved a hand, indicating that there was no need for courtesy, then said, "Well then, goodbye!"

At the same time, Veigar and Kakashi Hatake waved to Takeuchi Jōji and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Jōji. Please take care."

Without waiting for Takeuchi Jōji's response, the three of them swiftly turned and left.

Watching their departing backs, Takeuchi Jōji said to his wife Nanako, "Nanako, let's prepare to take Tomoo to Konoha Village for treatment right away!"

Upon hearing that Takeuchi Jōji was taking their son to Konoha to seek treatment, Nanako burst into tears and nodded. "Okay, let's go back now."

After examining Tomoo the previous night, Minato Namikaze, who was not particularly skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, had immediately given Takeuchi Jōji a suggestion: send Tomoo to Konoha Hospital for treatment. Only then would Tomoo have a chance of waking up.

That afternoon.

The villagers of Yamagō Village learned that Takeuchi Jōji, in order to raise money for his son's treatment, intended to sell even the house he lived in. The villagers all sprang into action, contributing money and labor to help him.

They did so to thank Takeuchi Jōji for bringing Konoha Ninja to restore the village's water supply. It was also because the villagers of Yamagō Village were united, and Tomoo had ended up like this to protect the village.

After two days, Minato Namikaze returned to Konoha Village with Veigar and Kakashi Hatake. Looking at Konoha's gates, Veigar found himself looking forward to their next mission outside the village.

After collecting the reward they had earned for completing the mission, Minato Namikaze said, "I'm giving you two a day off tomorrow. Remember to get some proper rest. Then, at nine o'clock the morning after tomorrow, we'll meet at Training Ground 44 as usual."

"By then, your teacher will have a surprise for you."

Hearing that they had the next day off, Veigar and Kakashi Hatake each replied with their own thoughts in mind, "Yes, Teacher Minato."

Minato Namikaze smiled and gave the order, "That's all. Dismissed!"

Then Minato Namikaze added with a smile, "Your teacher will be leaving first!"

After Minato Namikaze left, Veigar began looking forward to the surprise he had mentioned. He then asked Kakashi Hatake, "Kakashi, what do you think Teacher Minato has prepared as a surprise for us tomorrow?"

Kakashi Hatake answered calmly, "I don't know."

Then Kakashi Hatake added, "I'm going home now."

Veigar waved at Kakashi Hatake. "See you, then."

"See you!"

After replying, Kakashi Hatake quickly left.

Having been away from home for many days, Veigar looked at his dust-covered house and hurriedly began cleaning. He worked from noon until evening before finally finishing.

After going out for a hearty meal, he returned home.

On the way back, Veigar had asked Minato Namikaze many questions about the Spiraling Sphere and received plenty of advice from him.

Precisely because there were so many questions, Veigar planned to use this break to sort through them one by one, then solve them one by one.

When it came to the application and development of the Spiraling Sphere, Veigar dared to say that even Minato Namikaze, its creator, could not compare to him.

After all, he was a man who had watched all of Naruto.

At the same time, because his Superior Evil Power could merge with the Spiraling Sphere, Veigar intended to make the Evil Force Spiraling Sphere one of his standard combat methods and develop every Spiraling Sphere variation he knew.

However, knowing the forms of the Spiraling Sphere was one thing; the problems he would encounter in training were another matter entirely.

At four in the morning, Veigar got out of bed and began running through the streets of Konoha Village.

At the same time, he continuously practiced becoming familiar with the Evil Force Spiraling Sphere in his hand.

Once someone learned a skill, the best way to improve it was through repeated practice, allowing their muscles to form a memory.

That was exactly what Veigar intended to do.

Veigar had not learned the Spiraling Sphere long ago. At this point, he could only be said to use the Evil Force Spiraling Sphere proficiently. If he wanted to master it, or even use it at will, he still needed to put in much more effort.

At six o'clock, after running another lap around Konoha, Veigar spotted Guy, who had just begun his morning taijutsu training.

At that moment, Might Guy also noticed Veigar, whom he had not seen for a long time. He immediately ran toward Veigar and called out, "Veigar!!!"

Might Guy was thrilled to see Veigar. Before long, he caught up and ran alongside Veigar as they trained.

Of course, Veigar would not ignore Might Guy. Building a good relationship with him would bring Veigar nothing but benefits.

Might Guy was the man who had nearly kicked the story to its ending. In taijutsu, who dared claim to be better than Might Guy?

"Good morning, Guy!"

Turning to look at Might Guy beside him, Veigar quickly greeted him.

"Long time no see, Veigar."

Might Guy replied excitedly.

Then, seeing the sweat streaming down Veigar's body, he immediately concluded that Veigar must have been doing morning training for quite some time.

Might Guy then directly asked Veigar, "Veigar, have you been running for a long time already?"

Veigar nodded and replied, "Not too long. Just a little earlier than you."

Might Guy did not doubt Veigar's words in the slightest. He immediately replied loudly, "Sure enough, if I want to become stronger, I need to work even harder."

"This... is youth!!!"

Looking at Might Guy, Veigar suddenly realized that he felt a little envious of him.

Envious of his attitude toward life, always maintaining a positive mindset.

Envious of his passion for training, always burning with fervent blood.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, Might Guy was an idiot, a fool, a moron.

But Veigar saw in Might Guy unyielding perseverance, indomitable will, an optimistic mindset, and a pure heart.

How many people in this world possessed the virtues that Guy had?

Even Veigar himself had to admit that he could not compare to Might Guy in that regard.

"Guy, if you have time, let's train together!"

Veigar smiled as he spoke to Might Guy beside him.
