Guy glanced at Kakashi and smiled. "How do you know it won't suit him? You said it yourself—he's good at taijutsu."
"Maybe he'll get even stronger after learning my taijutsu."
Guy really didn't hold anything back.
Anyone who was willing to learn taijutsu from him, he would teach. He was even willing to teach them the Eight Inner Gates.
It was just that hardly anyone wanted to learn taijutsu from him, let alone the Eight Inner Gates.

Strictly speaking, what Yeyu did didn't even count as taijutsu.
