Learning Taijutsu with Might Guy

"Kakashi, the teacher you found for me isn't Might Guy, is he?!"

The next morning, Gu Qi followed Kakashi towards a hilltop on the outskirts of Konoha. Behind Gu Qi were the three ninja dogs he had just adopted.

However, the farther Gu Qi walked, the more he felt an ominous premonition for some reason.

"Otherwise?" Kakashi retorted.

Gu Qi was shocked. "Holy crap, learning Taijutsu from Might Guy will rot my brain."

"Hmm, that is a problem." Kakashi nodded, completely agreeing with Gu Qi's words.

"This is a serious problem, okay!"

"It's fine, I believe Gu Qi can handle himself."

"Heh!"

Might Guy, Konoha's proud Azure Beast.

When it came to Taijutsu, there were truly few in Konoha who could compare.

Having Might Guy instruct Gu Qi in Taijutsu was out of the question, if not for Kakashi's sake.

Although Might Guy's Taijutsu was excellent, which Gu Qi couldn't deny, Gu Qi genuinely couldn't stand Might Guy's personality, always talking about youth.

"Forget it, Gu Qi once endured the humiliation of crawling between Han Xin's legs. Losing some IQ isn't a big deal."

Having come to a decision, Gu Qi, with a look of resignation, followed Kakashi forward.

Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gu Qi's expression.

Before long, the two arrived at a dojo where Might Guy often trained.

"Yo, Kakashi. My lifelong rival, you've arrived! Come on, let's have a duel first!"

As soon as they entered the dojo, Gu Qi heard Might Guy's passionate words.

"Huh? Did someone just speak?"

"Ah~ As expected of my lifelong rival! I was ignored!" Might Guy cried, clutching his head.

"..." Gu Qi was depressed. How terrible must his childhood have been to develop such a personality?

Kakashi completely ignored him and only spoke after Might Guy had recovered, "I've brought Gu Qi here. I hope you can guide him well."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, revealing a shiny tooth, and said confidently.

"Okay! Then I'm leaving." Kakashi gave Gu Qi an encouraging look and left.

With no other choice, under Might Guy's gaze, Gu Qi reluctantly stepped forward and said, "Teacher Might Guy, please take care of me."

"Don't be so formal, Gu Qi-kun. I will guide you well. Seeing Gu Qi-kun working so hard reminds me of my childhood. This is youth!"

As he spoke, Might Guy suddenly burst into tears and wailed again.

Good grief, Gu Qi felt an urge to turn around and run.

After a while, Might Guy recovered from his reminiscence and said to Gu Qi, "Come on, Gu Qi, let me see your skills."

Gu Qi bowed deeply. "Please guide me."

The two bowed and formed hand seals, and then Gu Qi charged directly at Might Guy.

As for waiting for the opponent to attack, that could be forgotten.

The gap between them wasn't small. If Gu Qi didn't attack proactively, he wouldn't have a chance.

"Good strength, decent speed." As Gu Qi kicked towards Might Guy, the latter immediately gave his evaluation.

"Your movements are too stiff, and your flexibility is poor."

After a series of aerial kicks, Might Guy continued his evaluation.

"Your moves are too rigid, lacking experience."

When Gu Qi performed a Konoha Whirlwind, Might Guy said.

From beginning to end, Might Guy didn't counterattack, only dodged.

"Shadow Leaf Dance!" Gu Qi attacked Might Guy once more.

This time, however, Might Guy didn't dodge. Instead, he suddenly kicked Gu Qi's left foot lightly.

Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Gu Qi lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Finally, your lower body is unstable." Might Guy concluded.

Hearing this, Gu Qi said dejectedly, "Am I really that bad!?"

Gu Qi had always felt he was trying hard enough, but he was completely devastated this time.

"Compared to others your age, Gu Qi-kun is certainly not bad at all. But you are Hatake Kakashi's younger brother. Do you really have such low expectations?" Might Guy provoked him.

Gu Qi immediately retorted, "How could that be? I'm going to be the number one ninja in the world. So, Teacher Might Guy, please train me strictly."

"This is truly youth! Don't worry, little Gu Qi, I will definitely demand strictness from you." Might Guy exclaimed emotionally, tears streaming down his face once again.

"..." Damn it, besides Rock Lee, who was a bit dim-witted, who else could stand Might Guy?

In any case, Gu Qi felt that if he spent too much time with Might Guy, his brain would eventually go haywire.

"Alright, little Gu Qi, let's start training! First, we'll run a lap around the village."

"..." Gu Qi suddenly felt that surviving was a question.

By the time Gu Qi returned home, it was already night.

Feeling utterly exhausted, Gu Qi threw himself heavily onto the bed.

It wasn't just him; the three ninja dogs beside him also looked like they had no will to live.

Not only had Gu Qi been dragged into special training by Might Guy all day, but even the three ninja dogs hadn't escaped Might Guy's clutches.

However, the three ninja dogs were still very young and couldn't last more than half a morning.

For the rest of the time, Gu Qi carried the three ninja dogs to complete the remaining special training.

"To think I'm learning Taijutsu from Might Guy, has my brain gone haywire?" Gu Qi muttered to himself.

This was only the first day, and Gu Qi was already completely drained by Might Guy's devilish training.

Running a lap around the village was just a warm-up. The subsequent exercises, like ten thousand frog jumps and breaking 100 giant trees with bare hands without using Chakra, were life-threatening.

Moreover, Might Guy had forbidden Gu Qi from eating special dried meat to restore his stamina.

This meant that for the entire day, Gu Qi had pushed through purely on willpower.

Fortunately, thanks to his long-term use of Red Pills and the many techniques and experiences taught by Might Guy, he had managed to endure.

Just thinking about the days ahead made Gu Qi's head throb.

Gu Qi couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't enjoy his childhood like Shikamaru and the others.

"Sigh!"

"What, already can't take it?" Kakashi suddenly appeared at Gu Qi's window.

"Holy crap, can't you use the door like a normal person!" Gu Qi almost jumped out of his skin.

Kakashi casually said, "A ninja must always take the unconventional path."

"Heh."

"When training with Might Guy, remember to go to the hospital for a check-up once a week. If you have any hidden injuries, make sure to get them treated promptly," Kakashi advised.

"Got it, got it."

"Take this money. I have a mission tomorrow," Kakashi said, suddenly producing an envelope.

"So soon? You only rested for a few days?" Gu Qi complained.

"Don't worry, this time I'm going to meet the envoys from Kumogakure. The war between Konoha and Kumogakure has ended, and they are here to sign a peace treaty," Kakashi reassured him.

"Alright then, be careful on your way."

"Mm, here are some ninjutsu training scrolls. Although I'm just going to escort the Kumogakure envoys, I might not be back for a while," Kakashi said, handing over a scroll.

"What kind of ninjutsu are they?" Gu Qi asked.

"These are ninjutsu I recommend you learn. There's the Shadow Clone you've always wanted to learn, and the Rasengan created by the Fourth Hokage," Kakashi replied.

"Why aren't there any ninjutsu you created, like Chidori or Raikiri?" Gu Qi asked.

Kakashi shook his head. "With your current Chakra levels, learning Chidori is completely unnecessary. When the time is right, I'll teach you naturally."

"Thanks."

"Huh? Since when did my Gu Qi become so polite?" Kakashi chuckled.

"Mind your own business."

"Haha!"

After Kakashi left, Gu Qi opened the scrolls Kakashi had given him.

These scrolls contained not only the content of the ninjutsu but also Kakashi's insights on them.

With so many ninjutsu, it was enough for Gu Qi to study for a long time.

Among these ninjutsu, Rasengan and Shadow Clone were definitely must-learns.

Therefore, Gu Qi decided to learn Rasengan first.

After all, Gu Qi had long yearned for the ninjutsu of Rasengan.

Fortunately, Gu Qi still had some memory of the training methods for Rasengan from the anime.

Thus, Gu Qi decided to find some time tomorrow to buy some water balloons.

After cultivating his Chakra for a while, Gu Qi cut a piece of dried meat into bite-sized pieces, soaked it in Secret Brew, and fed it to the three ninja dogs.

Once the three ninja dogs fell asleep with satisfied smiles, Gu Qi also ate some dried meat and took a sip of Secret Brew before drifting off to dreamland.
