Konoha.

Ninja Academy.

In front of the bulletin board.

A group of six or seven-year-old children huddled together; some cheered with joy, while others hung their heads and sobbed.

Today was the day the results were posted.

Guy's consciousness stirred amidst the clamor.

So noisy...

He struggled to open his eyes, his vision filled with swaying figures.

His ears were flooded with the laughter and cries of children, along with the comfort or praise of their parents.

"Wait."

He looked down and saw a pair of stubby little hands, clad in a faded green bodysuit.

Further down were two short legs, likewise wrapped in green tights.

This outfit... why does it look so familiar?

The next second, memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

Might Guy.

Six years old.

Today was the Ninja Academy results day.

Because his "ninjutsu aptitude was unqualified" and his "genjutsu aptitude was unqualified," he had failed to get in.

He was currently standing blankly in front of the bulletin board, staring at the fact that his name was not on the admission list.

"..."

Guy took three seconds to digest this fact.

Then, he slowly formed a question mark in his mind.

Who had he become?

Might Guy?

The man who nearly kicked the finale into existence with a single blow?

The taijutsu fanatic who kept "youth" on his lips and wore a green bodysuit?

The Blue Beast who even Uchiha Madara gave a thumbs-up to, praising, "I acknowledge your taijutsu"?

"..."

He looked down at his own short, stubby hands again.

Good grief.

He was the six-year-old version, and the failed-admission version at that.

Before he could sort out his thoughts, a large, rough hand pressed onto his shoulder from behind.

He turned around.

He met a face covered in stubble.

Thick eyebrows, large eyes, the same faded green bodysuit, and the same thick, stubby brows.

It was practically an enlarged version of himself.

Only, this enlarged version of himself had slightly reddened eyes, yet he was struggling to force a smile.

Might Duy.

The original body's father, the "eternal genin" of Konoha.

The man who, so his son wouldn't be looked down upon in the future, trained alone for twenty years to master the Eight Inner Gates.

He was also the one who, to protect him later, would open the Gate of Death with his own flesh and blood.

Though he decimated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he burned himself out in the process.

Duy had clearly seen the list as well.

He assumed his son was dazed because of the failure, and a sharp pain pierced his heart.

But he immediately took a deep breath.

He suddenly spread his arms and pulled little Guy into a tight embrace!

"Guy!"

The booming voice exploded in Guy's ear, making his eardrums buzz.

"It's alright! A real man's life is even more passionate when it starts with failure!"

Guy was hugged so tightly he could barely breathe.

The warmth seeping through his clothes and the slight tremor in Dai's arms.

Left him stunned.

As an orphan in his past life, he had never experienced such an unreserved embrace.

"Guy!"

Dai let go, stepped back, held up his signature thumb, and flashed his gleaming teeth.

Even with hot, un-wiped tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, his smile was incredibly radiant.

"Youth is about getting back up right where you fell!"

"Let's go! Dad made you Red Bean Dumpling Soup!"

"Starting tomorrow, we'll train together, father and son, and prove it to everyone with taijutsu!"

The sunlight hit those white teeth, making it hard for Might Guy to keep his eyes open.

Looking at this hot-blooded idiot before him.

The lingering unwillingness and stubbornness left behind by the original body seemed to be ignited by this radiance.

A warmth spread through Might Guy's heart.

Unconsciously, he mimicked Dai's gesture.

He held up his thumb just the same.

He flashed his teeth just the same.

And roared back at the top of his lungs:

"Right! Dad!"

[Father-son bond achieved, Monk System points +50.]

A mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

Ah-Kai—no, he should be called Might Guy now.

He froze for a moment.

"System?"

[Monk System activated.]

[Host: Might Guy (six years old)]

[Current Monk System points: 50]

[Shop: Locked]

[Newbie Gift Pack pending collection]

A concise virtual panel floated in his mind.

Might Guy blinked, and the panel remained.

"Collect."

He chanted in his heart.

[Newbie Gift Pack opened]

[Obtained: Monk System points ×300]

[Obtained: Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts random draw ×3]

Three clusters of golden light exploded in his consciousness.

The first cluster dissipated, transforming into an ancient manual with five shimmering golden characters on the cover.

[Vajra Leg: Low-grade technique]

[Fierce and domineering, kicking stone like mud.]

The second cluster followed closely behind.

[Vajra Finger: Low-grade technique]

[Finger strength pierces gold, shatters iron like paper.]

Two low-grade techniques.

Before Might Guy could look closely, the third cluster shone with blinding intensity.

[Yijin Jing: Top-grade technique!]

[The Shaolin Temple's supreme treasure; cleanses the meridians and marrow, shedding one's mortal shell. Significantly boosts physique, internal energy recovery speed, and cultivation aptitude.]

Might Guy's pupils constricted.

Yijin Jing!

The supreme cultivation method of the Shaolin Temple!

In the world of Naruto, this was a top-tier secret technique capable of altering one's physique and accelerating cultivation!

Moreover, he was only six years old, right in the middle of a rapid growth phase. Starting his cultivation of the Yijin Jing now...

"Guy!"

Dai's large face suddenly loomed before his eyes, interrupting his train of thought.

"Why are you stunned? Are you too moved?"

Dai gave a thumbs-up again, his teeth flashing with a sparkle.

"It's okay! Dad understands! A man's hot-blooded spirit is meant to be unleashed to be truly satisfying!"

Might Guy looked at the face inches away from his own.

This foolish father probably thought his son was too touched by his "youthful speech" to speak.

"Dad," Might Guy suddenly said.

"Hm?"

"I will become strong."

Dai paused for a moment.

Might Guy lifted his small face, looking at him earnestly:

"Using taijutsu. In my own way. One day, I will make everyone remember my name."

He meant every word.

Since he had inherited this body, he absolutely could not bring shame to Might Guy.

Seeing the seriousness in his son's eyes, Dai's own eyes turned red again.

"Guy—"

He spread his arms wide once more, pulling Might Guy into a hug, his booming voice echoing down the entire street:

"That's my son! So hot-blooded! Dad will wait for you! Dad will always wait for you! Let's work hard together, father and son! Youth is—"

"Dad."

Might Guy was being squeezed until he couldn't breathe.

"Let go first... the Red Bean Dumpling Soup is getting cold."

"Oh, right, right, right!"

Dai hurriedly let go and grabbed Might Guy's small hand.

"Let's go! Let's eat dumplings! Eat, then sleep! Early morning special training tomorrow!"

Might Guy was dragged forward, while he silently recited in his heart:

"Allocate the 300 Monk Points from the novice gift pack, plus the 50 Monk Points from the father-son bond."

"Add them all to Yijin Jing."

[Monk Points -350]

[Yijin Jing proficiency increasing—]

[Current proficiency: 350 (Mastery)]

Martial art proficiency is divided into five levels:

Entry-level: 0-99

Small Success: 100-299

Mastery: 300-599

Perfected: 600-999

Transcendent: 1000

Once a martial art reaches max level, special effects will manifest.

A warm current rose from his lower abdomen, slowly flowing through his limbs and bones.

His previously tired and aching body felt as if it had been injected with new vitality.

Even his breathing became long and powerful.

Might Guy took a deep breath.

The Yijin Jing had reached Mastery.

As for the Vajra Leg and Vajra Finger.

He would cultivate them bit by bit on his own.

These were the foundations of a taijutsu ninja.

Since he had come to this world, and since he had become Might Guy.

Then he would use these fists to forge a different future.

"Guy!" Dai shouted from ahead, turning back. "Hurry up! Any slower and Dad will eat all the dumplings!"

"Coming!"

Might Guy moved his short legs and immediately gave chase.
