Might Guy

This was a side room.

It was filled with instruments.

"Tenshin, I'll have to trouble you again."

Nonō smiled and nodded, then began examining Lord Third.

During the examination, she noticed some subtle changes in Lord Third's physical data.

Of course, Lord Third had been working closely with her, so he had not kept certain things from her. After all, concealment would only hinder their deeper cooperation and would not benefit the examination results.

Thus, Nonō also knew that Lord Third was undergoing more thorough and comprehensive training of his body.

Training himself to control every detail of his body, reaching a state of completeness.

Nonō could understand this as well. This world already had a profound Buddhist culture, and the reason Chakra was called Chakra was likely because the name came from that Buddhist culture.

Chakra itself carried the meaning of completeness.

In Nonō's eyes, Lord Third was pursuing a completeness in the essence of life. What was strange was that the foundation of this pursuit lay in Taijutsu. Of course, throughout this process, Lord Third was also using Chakra as a tool, drawing from Konoha's various ninjutsu, secret techniques, and forbidden techniques, absorbing the profound mysteries of the human body hidden within them.

To put it plainly, he was using the principles of Internal Family Boxing, combined with his previous experience at the Hua Jin realm, to draw upon the various explorations accumulated throughout this world's history.

After all, the human body in this world was ultimately different from the human body in the world he had originally come from. Though their broad structures were the same, there were still subtle differences in certain details.

And those details were what mattered!

The devil was in the details.

If he did not investigate those details and simply applied his old experience rigidly, that would be like carving a mark on a boat to find a lost sword.

Fortunately, after arriving in this world, Lord Third had become Hokage and could mobilize many unimaginable resources: top-tier medical services, as well as ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, and secret techniques containing countless mysteries of this world's human body.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to once again set foot on the path he was devoted to.

The only regret was this.

This body was too old. Once he stepped into Hua Jin, advancing further into Bao Dan would not be easy due to the decline of his vitality and blood.

Fortunately, it was not without hope.

Chakra, ninjutsu, Yin Release, Yang Release, all kinds of secret techniques...

Lord Third already had some ideas. Once he reentered Hua Jin, he would begin accumulating for it, all the way until the day tender shoots could sprout from withered wood.

At last, the examination was complete.

Lord Third studied the data Nonō handed him for a while, then nodded.

Next, he walked out of the side room.

Looking at Nonō following him, he said, "Go back to the Orphanage."

After all, Lord Third knew that Nonō had always been thinking about her Orphanage.

There was nothing that needed Nonō's help right now, so he might as well let her do what she wanted and go see those children.

"Yes."

Nonō answered with a smile.

Then she left and headed for the nearby Orphanage.

After Nonō departed, Lord Third stepped out of his house while smoking and began wandering around the village. Naturally, his stroll was not without purpose.

Besides taking in the sights of Konoha, the greatest ninja village in the ninja world, he wanted to see another eye-catching daily sight of Konoha.

"Youth never admits defeat!"

The near-roaring shout made everyone who saw it break out in cold sweat.

Running while standing on his hands, clad in a green jumpsuit, with a gleaming bowl cut, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, overflowing with an excessive passion that made people feel irritated and uncomfortable.

This was a sight one could see in Konoha almost every day.

Might Guy, known as the Precious Beast.

"Ooooooh! My youth is overflowing! Keep going! Work hard! Struggle! This is youthhhhh!"

"Hehehehe, hahahaha!"

Lord Third could not help laughing.

Seeing such a display of pure passion put him in a very good mood.

So he waited there. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the spot where Guy habitually started his handstand runs. Once Guy finished running his laps, he should stop here.

And that was indeed the case. Guy ran lap after lap before finally stopping, drenched in sweat and brimming with enthusiasm.

Spotting Lord Third in the distance, he shouted, "Lord Third!"

"Guy, come here for a moment."

"Yes!"

Guy shouted and immediately rushed over, full of excitement.

After all, Lord Third had summoned him!

In Guy's heart, Lord Third had always been a kind and gentle elder! A great Kage!

As a ninja of Konoha, how could he not feel honored to be summoned by Lord Third?

And so, steaming with heat and covered in sweat, Guy arrived before Lord Third.

Well, it had to be said that Guy's jumpsuit was rather absorbent. But because he had sweated so much, the green jumpsuit clung even more tightly to his body, making it even more eye-searing.

Lord Third did not mind it, however. He raised his hand and felt Guy over.

"Not bad."

As he assessed him, Lord Third nodded.

Then he looked up at Guy's clear, resolute eyes, which carried an unwavering will to charge forward.

He smiled again.

"Not bad."

"Lord Third! Do you have some important mission for me?" Guy's eyes lit up. Clenching his fists, he shouted, "The passion of youth never admits defeat! No matter what kind of mission it is, please leave it to me! I will sing its praises with my hot blood and youth! I will give everything I have to complete the mission entrusted to me by Lord Third!!!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lord Third could not help laughing heartily again.

When others saw Guy acting so excessively youthful and hot-blooded, they would only find it unbearable and instinctively want to stay far away from the Precious Beast.

But in Lord Third's eyes, everything Guy displayed inspired only admiration.

He had been observing Guy for quite some time. Only now, after his exploration of this world's hidden mysteries of the human body had reached a certain point, had he come into contact with Guy.

That was right. He wanted to guide Guy.

After all, perhaps Guy had no talent for ninjutsu, but his monstrous physical gifts made this martial artist's heart stir at the sight of such talent.

That was not even the most important thing. The most important thing was the utterly flawless, sincere heart devoted to martial arts that Lord Third saw in him.

Such an unwaveringly sincere martial heart was absolutely rare!

Coupled with his talent in physical constitution.

He was practically a peerless piece of jade, rare in this world!

"Guy." Lord Third shook his head and smiled. "If you're looking for missions, you should go to Orochimaru. He is the Hokage now. I am merely a Hokage Advisor."

"Lord Fifth? Does Lord Fifth intend to entrust me with an important duty?!" Guy asked in delighted surprise.

It had to be said, he really was rather simple-minded.

Lord Third smiled and shook his head again.

"Come with me."

He turned around.
