The sound grew closer, and Uchiha Matsuzaki accurately pinpointed the location based on the noise before cautiously making his way over.

When he was about a dozen meters away from the source of the sound, Uchiha Matsuzaki stopped and peered through the grass.

I'm really quite curious. I wonder who is training here.

Uchiha Matsuzaki thought to himself.

He slowly parted the weeds in front of him and finally caught sight of the person training, though the identity of the individual caught Uchiha Matsuzaki by surprise.

"This is... Might Guy!"

At this moment, a young boy with a bowl cut and a green spandex suit was training in front of a tree.

Because he was wearing a tight-fitting suit, the muscular lines of his body were fully exposed, and sweat dripped down incessantly as he struck the tree with his fists, one after another. Leaves from the tree fell in sheets.

I never expected his fighting style to be so unique. Most importantly, every single strike carries significant lethality.

Although I already knew from watching Naruto in the past that Might Guy trained incredibly hard, seeing it with my own eyes is even more shocking.

Uchiha Matsuzaki thought as he watched Might Guy training.

"Now, starting with 2,000 side-to-side jumps, followed by 1,000 push-ups! Come on, you can do this!"

"Once I finish these today, I can rest. Tomorrow, I'll go challenge Kakashi; I believe I can definitely defeat him."

As he spoke, Might Guy began his side-to-side jumps.

Uchiha Matsuzaki knew quite a bit about Might Guy, as he had left a very deep impression on him back when he watched Naruto in his original timeline.

This man will truly become incredibly powerful later on. When Lord Guy opened the Eight Gates to fight Madara, it was truly epic. Thinking back on it, if he had used just a little more force, he really might have kicked his way to the series finale.

But regardless, Might Guy is a very competitive person. He's always competing with Kakashi day in and day out.

Uchiha Matsuzaki watched Might Guy training for a while, but not wanting to disturb him, he slowly backed away.

Reaching the edge of the mountain behind the village, he looked down at the village below, seemingly lost in thought.

"This world really has all kinds of people. I'm starting to like it here more and more! Haha!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki stood there and said with a laugh.

In this world, those without chakra are mostly ordinary people. Yet, there are some who wish to become ninjas and train desperately in taijutsu.

This world is just that unfair; some are born geniuses, while others are destined to be ordinary from birth.

"I'm going on a field trip tomorrow. There shouldn't be any problems, but it's better to be careful just in case I encounter any danger."

"I finally vented that pent-up frustration today. Knowing Chuanzang's personality, he definitely won't let this go."

"I made him lose face in front of so many classmates today; I'm afraid he'll continue to look for trouble with me in the future."

"But what use is that? Dealing with him is no longer a problem for me anyway."

Uchiha Matsuzaki sat on the ground, looking down at Konoha with a smile on his face.

Just like that, Uchiha Matsuzaki sat there in a daze for a long time. He hadn't done much else this afternoon, but considering he had obtained such a heaven-defying physique today, it was truly a wonderful thing for him.
