Peeping Tom? Encountering Hatake Kakashi Again

"Flying Technique?"

"..."

Might Guy and his group exclaimed in surprise, with Might Guy's cry being the loudest, drowning out his students'.

He had witnessed the power of the Flying Technique when he faced invading enemies.

That ability to move through the sky is precisely what the ninja world lacks today.

The other students were surprised because, according to legend, the Flying Technique was a unique skill of the Rice Kingdom, and very few people in the current Shinobi World possessed it.

Only in the Land of Iron, which has a very good relationship with the Rice Kingdom, are there a few Land of Iron who are able to cultivate.

Can such a unique skill really be taught to them?

Have Tien Shinhan and Might Guy gotten this close? The others looked at Might Guy somewhat guiltily.

"Piccolo, go train by yourself! You don't need to come with us." Uchiha Feng's voice rang out, carrying a peculiar meaning.

Piccolo walked to the side, crossed his legs, and began to emanate a powerful aura.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The energy emanating from his body created a sound wave that echoed in the air.

Boom~

A powerful pressure suddenly spread outwards, only to withdraw in an instant, as if it had never happened.

Kai and his students only felt a powerful burst of energy, and were shocked, but they didn't know what was hidden behind it.

Uchiha Feng smiled.

The Third Hokage, far away in Hokage office, sensed danger. Cracks appeared in the crystal ball in his hand, and the scene from the training ground disappeared.

"Did they spot me? What are the people of the Rice Kingdom trying to do? I feel like I've seen those two green-skinned people somewhere before?"

The crystal ball eventually shattered into pieces, falling to the ground, the reflected sunlight somewhat dazzling.

The Third Hokage picked up his pipe from the table, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"No matter what, we cannot afford any unexpected events this time."

Finally, he put down his pipe, picked up the class assignment list he had prepared, and pressed a button on the table.

A moment later, an Anbu appeared.

"Pack this up and hand it to the person in charge of the Ninja Academy. Tell them this is my order and no modifications are allowed."

The Third Hokage's voice regained its former power.

"Yes!"

The Anbu Ninja retreated.

On the training ground.

Tien Shinhan was explaining how to practice the Flying Technique, his body already floating in the air as he demonstrated it to several people.

Might Guy and the others had already developed a considerable amount of ki within their bodies, but they lacked a good guide. In just over ten minutes, Might Guy learned to control his ki and could float in the air. It must be said that Might Guy has some talent in ki cultivation.

This is also because Tien Shinhan provided guidance; the Crane Hermit School's Flying Technique is a systematic flight technique with a complete training system.

Uchiha Feng and his group are now using an advanced version of the Flying Technique, which is why they are spreading the training methods for it.

In the following hours, Rock Lee also mastered the basics of the Flying Technique, becoming able to float in mid-air. According to Might Guy's conjecture, practicing the Eight Gates would help control one's Qi.

In the evening, Neji Hyuga also learned the Flying Technique.

Only Tenten remains unmastered. This is because her ki reserves are low, and she is obsessed with Chakra, constantly using Chakra manipulation techniques.

At the end of the day, Might Guy was not stingy this time and took Uchiha Feng to the Akimichi Clan's barbecue restaurant.

Upon entering the barbecue restaurant, Might Guy encounters his nemesis [his best friend].

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke were quietly eating grilled meat.

Unlike other master-apprentice relationships, generally the apprentice should be the one grilling the meat while the master eats it.

They each grilled their own meat, without crossing any lines.

"Kakashi ~ I didn't expect to run into you here. How about a duel? I learned an amazing technique today."

Might Guy immediately broke away from the group and went to Hatake Kakashi's desk.

Neji Hyuga and the others seemed to be used to this, leading Uchiha Feng to a table behind them.

"Kai, I'm eating right now. I have an important mission to carry out in a few days, so I don't have time to duel with you," Kakashi said listlessly.

Every time Kai sees him, he challenges him to a duel. He's gotten used to it, and for a while, he only felt alive when he was dueling with Kai.

Later, he discovered a foolproof excuse: as long as he said he was on a mission, Kai wouldn't bother him.

His gaze shifted from Guy to Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke placed the grilled meat he had prepared on the table, his gaze fixed on Kakashi's back.

Kakashi turned his head and, through Might Guy's body, finally saw Tien Shinhan and Uchiha Feng.

He fell into the same state of stillness as Uchiha Sasuke.

"It's him!" A thought flashed through their minds at the same time. Although things had changed dramatically, with Tien Shinhan by his side and those features, they could be sure that it was Uchiha Feng from a few years ago.

Several years ago, the two were filled with disappointment towards the village because of what Uchiha Feng.

What remains for them are countless questions. Over the years, their covert investigation has only deepened their predicament, leaving them entangled like spider silk, from which it is difficult to escape once trapped.

This also brought the two of them into a very close relationship.

"Guests, we don't have enough tables. Since you two know each other, could you squeeze in?" A waiter from the barbecue restaurant came to Hatake Kakashi's table.

Hatake Kakashi nodded stiffly, but unfortunately, he didn't get the result he wanted.

These tables are usually for four people to sit together, which is in line with the Konoha custom of one Konoha Jonin mentoring three students. If squeezed in, six people can also fit.

However, adding another person would hinder movement.

To Kakashi's surprise, Might Guy sat with the two of them and even brought over two students, Rock Lee and Tenten.

Neji Hyuga stayed with Uchiha Feng and the other two.

"Kai, who are those people? They look a bit strange." Kakashi, dressed casually, was trying to get information out of Might Guy.

"No way! They all look pretty much the same? But that's my good friend from the Rice Kingdom, she's here to chat with us." Might Guy asked doubtfully, revealing some information, but not much.

Uchiha Sasuke and Tenten both had black lines appearing on their foreheads. "Look almost identical? Are you blind?"

"Now that you mention it, Kai-sensei and Tien Shinhan- sensei really do look a bit alike," Rock Lee remarked without any apparent reason.

"I guess in Teacher Kai's and Rock Lee's eyes, green is a normal color," Tenten explained softly.

Then the group landed on Kai and Rock Lee's green bodysuits.
