Genius-Level Bone Density and Muscle Talent

[Detected Might Guy's emotional breakdown. Extracting an ability related to Might Guy. Host may choose one of three.

Option One: Leaf Hurricane taijutsu;

Option Two: 0.5 Kakashi units of chakra;

Option Three: Genius-level bone density and muscle talent.]

Option One was immediately ruled out. Learning a few taijutsu moves would not be much use.

What surprised Uchiha Ling was that Guy had such a large chakra reserve, second only to Kakashi among the peers he had met.

A top-tier taijutsu ninja could not have too little chakra. Hashirama Senju and Tsunade were both exceptionally strong at taijutsu because their chakra reserves were enormous.

Taijutsu movements required chakra to drive them, and a powerful body was the foundation for carrying a large amount of chakra.

Option Three, genius-level bone density and muscle talent, also looked very tempting.

Might Guy's talent for taijutsu was extremely strong. When Might Duy opened the Eight Gates, three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen managed to escape. When Might Guy opened the Eight Gates, he nearly kicked Six Paths Madara Uchiha to death and ended the story early.

After hesitating, Uchiha Ling chose Option Three: genius-level bone density and muscle talent.

This ability would not only bring a qualitative improvement to his taijutsu, but was also one that could grow.

As he aged and his body developed, his bone density and muscles would become stronger and stronger.

After making his choice, every bone in Uchiha Ling's body began to itch.

His skeleton was growing, and his muscle cells were becoming ever stronger and tougher.

There was another pleasant surprise. As his physique improved, his chakra reserves also increased considerably, rising from 0.8 Kakashi units to 0.9 Kakashi units.

On further thought, it made sense. Chakra was a mixture of physical and spiritual energy. Whether it was the Uchiha Clan's innate gift or the benefit of a transmigrator's two souls, his spiritual energy had always vastly exceeded his physical energy.

As long as his physique grew stronger, his chakra reserves would inevitably increase.

His bones had grown. If he did not pound on something a few times, his whole body felt uncomfortable.

"Guy! I thought men were all laid-back, but I never expected you couldn't get laid-back!

Don't obsess over your little acorn! Come, let us have a blood-boiling showdown between men!

You might not be much of a man in that department, but you can't fall behind in other areas!"

Might Guy raised his head, tears pouring down like a burst dam.

He was the type whose emotions swung wildly. He was either extremely fired up or extremely sad, and his emotions came fast and went fast.

"Uchiha Ling! A man has more than one side! I will show you where I am truly fierce!"

After exchanging a punch, Might Guy swiftly retreated and opened up the distance.

This was too strange!

Why was Uchiha Ling's fist so hard?

After exchanging another kick, Might Guy retreated again.

How had Uchiha Ling's taijutsu changed so drastically?

He did not understand why, but he only felt excited.

When he sparred with his classmates before, they had all been too weak. Most of the time, he had to hold back.

The transformed Uchiha Ling gave him the feeling of an evenly matched opponent.

He no longer had to hold back. Every punch and every kick could be thrown with full force.

"Uchiha Ling!"

After waiting a few seconds, Uchiha Ling asked, "What are you shouting for?"

"I'm excited!"

The two traded punches and kicks on the training ground with a force outrageously powerful for children their age.

The training ground was filled with the sound of thud after thud.

Kakashi hid outside the training ground. Seeing the two spar, he was deeply astonished.

Even Kakashi did not want to spar with Might Guy, because Might Guy's fists were too hard. He had not expected Uchiha Ling to grow so quickly, becoming second only to Might Guy in taijutsu.

Might Guy held the advantage now because Uchiha Ling clearly lacked control over his body. Sometimes his eyes kept up, but his body was either half a beat too slow or half a beat too fast.

How could he be half a beat too fast? Kakashi thought about it and guessed that Uchiha Ling's body had surpassed his consciousness.

Half an hour later, Might Guy and Uchiha Ling finally stopped, panting heavily.

Uchiha Ling lay half-reclined on the ground, looking at Might Guy across from him, who was bent over with his hands on his knees and gasping for breath. Might Guy sure knows how to put on an act. He insists on standing just to make himself look capable.

Uchiha Ling said, "Guy, I have a piece of advice for you."

"What? What advice?"

"Little boys shouldn't wear tights. That outfit is too bad for your development. Think about it. Clothes that tight, pressing on you every day—how can you grow into a big acorn?"

Might Guy froze. He looked down, and sorrow welled up within him as tears burst forth again.

"Listen to me. There is no need to wear tights that tight just to reduce a little wind resistance.

A tight shirt is fine, but tight pants and full-body tights are unnecessary."

Might Guy thought it over carefully, and it seemed to make a lot of sense.

He decided that from now on, he would wear only a green tight shirt with slightly looser shorts on his legs. Going bare-legged could reduce wind resistance too, couldn't it?

His father had been too obsessed with pushing things to the limit, and now even his little acorn had become somewhat extreme.

"Also, Guy, I have another piece of advice for you."

Might Guy asked seriously, "What other advice?"

"Listen to me. School romance is the purest. Find a girl before graduation, and even if she learns about your situation later, she probably won't be so disgusted by you."

Might Guy's face turned red. What did he know about school romance?

Uchiha Ling returned to the woods and changed out of the tights into his usual T-shirt and shorts.

He had maintained the localized Multi-Size Technique and still fought Might Guy to this extent. He felt that had not been easy at all.

After changing back into shorts and dispelling the localized Multi-Size Technique, his lower body felt much more relaxed.

Uchiha Ling walked out of the woods with the tights in hand. "Here, take this back. You can alter it into a tight shirt and still wear it."

Might Guy returned home in a daze. His father was not there, so he picked up a pair of scissors and began altering the clothes himself.

His family was poor, so he had to do everything himself. Altering clothes was no challenge.

Following Uchiha Ling's advice, he put on a green tight shirt for his upper body and looser shorts below.

Just as he finished changing his clothes, Might Duy returned.

"Guy! Why aren't you wearing our tights?"

Might Guy's face was covered in tears. "Father, Father... the Might surname may not be passed down."

Might Duy was baffled, not knowing why his son would say such a thing.

After the two investigated it together, they hugged each other and cried.

After pulling himself together, Might Guy set off again to find Kakashi Hatake.

After searching around, he finally found Kakashi at the training ground they often used.

Seeing Might Guy's new look, Kakashi felt extremely uncomfortable.

Might Guy glanced at Kakashi's crotch and said mysteriously, "Kakashi, did you know? Uchiha Ling's acorn is at least twice as big as yours!"

Kakashi was speechless. Why did he have to listen to this?

"Come on, Guy. Let me see whether your taijutsu has gotten rusty at school."

Might Guy was extremely excited. Kakashi had finally agreed to have a thoroughly satisfying duel with him.

A few minutes later, Might Guy was knocked to the ground.

Might Guy lay looking up, gasping for breath as he said, "I specialize in taijutsu, yet I lose to you every time we spar. Just how strong are you, Kakashi?"

Kakashi said, "My taijutsu was passed down from my father. My father's taijutsu is what you call formidable."

Thinking of his father, Kakashi fell silent.

He vaguely felt that there were many suspicious details surrounding his father's suicide, but he did not know where to begin investigating.
