Might Guy Wants to Challenge Kakashi

The next day during class break, Shin-chan was napping at his desk when he was suddenly shaken awake.

"Shin-chan! Shin-chan!"

"Hmm?"

Shin-chan groggily opened his eyes and saw Might Guy looking extremely excited.

"What's up?" Shin-chan yawned. "Is it lunchtime?"

"No." Might Guy clenched his fist. "I thought about it all night. Kakashi is clearly so powerful, and he trains so hard by climbing mountains."

Shin-chan blinked. "So, you want to climb mountains too?"

"That's not what I mean. I want to... want to..." Might Guy was unusually embarrassed, stammering and unable to speak.

"What do you want to do?" Shin-chan tilted his head.

Might Guy's face visibly reddened, and his voice became much softer. "I want to consider him a rival, but I'm too embarrassed to approach him directly."

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"Because... because..." Might Guy lowered his head, his voice growing quieter. "He's so strong, he definitely won't pay attention to me."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"I want to see how he trains, see what he usually does. That way, I can learn from him and become stronger."

Shin-chan tilted his head, pondering. "So you're going to stalk him?"

"Not stalking!" Might Guy exclaimed, flustered. "It's... it's observing, yes, observing. Are you willing to come with me?"

"Eh, that sounds like too much trouble." Shin-chan shook his head.

Kakashi wasn't a pretty older sister, what was there to observe?

"You don't want to go?" Might Guy's mood immediately plummeted. "Then after school, you can go straight to my Father. I won't go for now."

"Huh?" Shin-chan spotted a loophole. "Don't you have training this afternoon?"

"I just..."

Before Might Guy could finish explaining, Shin-chan interrupted him. "Then I'll go with you!"

"Eh?" Might Guy froze, then excitedly hugged him. "That's great, Shin-chan, you're my best friend!"

"Let go, I can't breathe..."

As soon as the dismissal bell rang, Might Guy packed his bag with lightning speed and dragged Shin-chan out of the classroom, heading to the school gate to stake out.

Not long after, the Silver Figure appeared.

Kakashi, carrying a small bag, walked unhurriedly towards the east side of the Village.

"He's leaving, let's go!"

The two began to follow him stealthily.

Keeping their distance, hiding in corners, and using passersby as cover, Might Guy had clearly done his homework, and his movements were quite convincing.

Shin-chan followed behind him, imitating him with a serious look.

The two followed Kakashi through streets, around markets, and into a residential area.

Kakashi walked ahead, his pace still unhurried, but he had long since noticed the two stealthy figures behind him.

That Red Top was particularly conspicuous.

Kakashi's lips curved slightly. Without looking back, he continued forward to a fork in the road.

Ahead was a bustling market, filled with noise and people. Vendors sold vegetables, fruits, and dumplings, with people coming and going.

Kakashi suddenly quickened his pace and disappeared into the crowd.

"Oh no!" Might Guy panicked. "He's gone."

The two rushed into the market, looking around, but the Silver Figure was nowhere to be seen.

Might Guy spun around anxiously, weaving through the crowd and craning his neck to look. "What do we do? What do we do?"

Shin-chan stood beside him, scratching his head. "If he's gone, do we still need to look for him?"

"Of course, we do," Might Guy said, clenching his fist, his eyes determined.

"Alright then," Shin-chan casually pointed in a direction. "Let's try going this way?"

"Did you see Kakashi?" Might Guy asked excitedly.

Shin-chan shook his head and explained, "We can't find him anyway, so let's just pick a direction and see."

"Okay," Might Guy had no other ideas and immediately charged in that direction.

They passed through alleys and skirted several old houses, and an open space appeared before them.

There were several large trees at the edge of the clearing. Under the shade of the trees were some training Wooden Stakes. In the center of the clearing, a small Silver Figure stood there, about to begin his training.

Might Guy froze.

Kakashi was also stunned.

Looking at Might Guy and Shin-chan, who ran over panting, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had clearly lost them, and had even chosen a hidden path.

"You guys..." Kakashi paused, his voice laced with disbelief, "How did you find me here?"

"This is the guidance of youth." Shin-chan imitated Might Guy, giving a thumbs-up.

"Boring."

Kakashi turned, intending to move to another spot.

"Wait." Shin-chan pushed Might Guy forward, "Might Guy has something to say to you."

"Shin-chan." Might Guy hadn't expected this to happen so suddenly and was a bit flustered.

Shin-chan nudged him again and whispered, "Go for it!"

Might Guy hesitated for a moment, his face flushed red, and walked up to Kakashi, "Kakashi."

"What is it?" Kakashi looked at him.

"I... I..." Might Guy clenched his fists, but his voice grew louder, "I challenge you!"

Kakashi's eyebrows twitched, "Challenge you?"

Might Guy took a deep breath and struck a Taijutsu Starting Stance he had practiced countless times, "Please."

"Just once." Kakashi sighed and also assumed a Stance.

Might Guy shouted and Charged Up.

Then he Flew Back at an even faster speed.

Kakashi's movements were so fast that Might Guy couldn't see them at all.

Might Guy lay on the ground, panting heavily, but there was no Frustration in his eyes. Instead, there was a strange Excitement, "Amazing, Kakashi, you're really amazing!"

Kakashi glanced at him without a word, then turned to Shin-chan.

Shin-chan was sitting on a nearby rock, propping his chin and watching the fun. When he met Kakashi's gaze, he quickly waved his hands, "I'm not challenging, I'm just here to Watch the Fun."

Kakashi ignored him and walked directly over.

"Hey, hey, hey." Shin-chan jumped off the rock, wanting to run.

But Kakashi's movements were faster, and he reached out to grab him.

Shin-chan's body instinctively dodged.

Kakashi's hand grasped at empty air. He paused for a moment, then reached out again.

Shin-chan dodged again.

This was no coincidence.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed. His hands attacked alternately, each movement as fast as lightning.

But Shin-chan was like a loach, dodging at the last moment every time, either stepping back, ducking his head, or twisting to the side.

Kakashi's hand was always just a little bit short of touching him.

Might Guy, watching from the side, was stunned. "Shin-chan is also amazing."

After another missed grab, Kakashi stopped. He stood in place, looking at Shin-chan, a different expression finally appearing in his eyes.

Shin-chan, on the other hand, sighed in relief and patted his chest. "You scared me to death. I thought you were going to hit me."

Kakashi looked at him, remaining silent. However, a certain thought in his heart was becoming clearer and clearer.

This guy is definitely not simple.

"Wonderful."

A tall figure walked out from behind the trees. Silver Hair, with the same hairstyle as Kakashi, but more mature.
