Guy's Challenge

Itachi understood the meaning of Lin Yan's question almost instantly.

A slight thought crossed his mind, but he remained outwardly calm and collected.

What are you trying to say?

Itachi asked calmly.

"Give me the money, and I'll solve all your problems."

That was the answer I was looking for!

Itachi's heart skipped a beat once more.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at Lin Yan again. "What are you referring to?"

"That depends on what kind of trouble it is for you."

Lin Yan smiled knowingly.

Seeing Lin Yan's expression, Itachi was initially a little angry.

Because the meaning behind Lin Yan's words just now was quite clear.

He knew about the troubles the Uchiha Clan was facing, and he also knew about the conflict between the villagers of Konoha and the Uchiha Police Force.

So, the so-called "trouble" refers either to the Uchiha Clan or the villagers of Konoha.

Of course, it could also be a high-ranking official from Konoha acting as a mediator.

The other party said they would help me solve my problem.

The first thing Itachi thought of was Lin Yan's immense strength and his terrifying methods of dealing with enemies.

Naturally, these things are associated with keywords such as "damage" and "kill".

However, upon further reflection, Itachi's anger subsided.

Although Lin Yan is powerful, she is a mercenary who works for money.

However, the other party may not necessarily need to kill the target; they can also act according to the employer's wishes.

If, one day in the future Uchiha Clan really chooses to rebel...

Perhaps Lin Yan's abilities can be of help.

He might have the ability to stop the Uchiha Clan's rebellion...

With these thoughts in mind, Itachi's expression softened considerably.

The sharpness in his eyes had vanished.

"It's not necessary right now, but who knows, maybe one day in the future..."

Itachi withdrew his gaze and turned to calmly look at Naruto and Sasuke in the distance, who had already begun a fierce battle.

"No problem, then just come find me again later. Of course, my price is a bit higher, as you probably already know."

Lin Yan spoke readily, taking another sip of wine.

He then stood up.

"Alright, don't think about so many unpleasant things anymore."

"Play with me, okay?"

Lin Yan smiled and extended an invitation to Itachi.

"Not now."

Itachi also stood up.

It was fully light by then.

Today, the Third Hokage will surely summon his father to discuss the latest solution to the problem.

He felt it was necessary for him to listen.

As Itachi turned to leave, he suddenly saw two figures running rapidly towards him from a distance.

One of them was Kakashi.

The other person also looked somewhat familiar.

"That guy, I think his name is Might Guy..."

Itachi observed carefully for a few seconds and then recognized the other party's identity.

A watermelon-shaped haircut paired with a green bodysuit.

Who else could claim to be the "Blue Beast of Konoha" but Might Guy, the Konoha renowned for his taijutsu?

"Looks like you've found a suitable training opponent."

With those words, the weasel leaped to another tree and quickly disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Yan had naturally noticed Kakashi and Might Guy.

It's obvious that Kakashi and Might Guy are having a showdown.

The two ran together, each raising long plumes of dust behind them.

Seeing the two running straight towards the training field, Lin Yan's lips curled into a playful smile, revealing a meaningful expression.

Soon, Kakashi and Might Guy arrived near Lin Yan and stopped at the edge of the training field.

"Look, those two are using the Six Powers."

Kakashi suddenly spoke to Might Guy.

Upon hearing this, Might Guy looked up in surprise to see Naruto and Sasuke training in the distance.

Who knew that in that moment of distraction, Kakashi had already stepped across the finish line.

"I won."

Kakashi won the match by a mere half-foot margin.

"Ah, Kakashi, you're so cunning! You've tricked me again!!"

This doesn't count!

Matt Kai immediately realized he had been tricked again.

Kakashi grinned and flashed a victory sign. "Including this time, our total score is forty to forty-one. I still beat you once."

"I already said this doesn't count, and you're going back on your word again!"

Matt Kai protested defiantly.

Kakashi completely ignored his protests, glanced at Naruto and Sasuke in the distance, and then turned and walked directly towards Lin Yan.

Matt Kai immediately followed, his gaze landing directly on Lin Yan's face.

Who is this?

Lin Yan looked at Kakashi and Might Guy with a half-smile, her expression questioning.

"I am the most vibrant and energetic Blue Beast of Konoha, Might Guy!"

Matt Kai made a very funny gesture with great energy, striking an exaggerated pose, which made Lin Yan both laugh and cry.

"Kai is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat. After hearing about your Six Powers, he insisted that I bring him to see you."

Kakashi then explained.

Might Guy immediately became excited and looked at Lin Yan earnestly, extending an invitation. "I've already heard Kakashi mention it, Lin Yan."

"Your Six Powers are truly unique and have broadened my horizons. I have never seen anyone use such physical combat techniques before."

"However, Kakashi is only a half-baked expert; his skill level is simply not good enough. His Six Powers can't defeat my Eight Gates."

"How about we have a passionate, youthful showdown here?"

After saying that, Matt Kai gave Lin Yan a thumbs up.

Kakashi, on the other hand, watched the spectacle with his arms crossed and walked directly to the shade of a nearby tree.

He then leaned against the tree trunk, waiting for Lin Yan and Matt Kai to clash.

"..."

What is the Eight Gates?

Lin Yan feigned curiosity and asked.

At that very moment, he was already tempted.

The power of Might Guy's Eight Gates needs no further explanation.

This is the man known as "Might Guy" by countless Naruto fans.

If the director and author hadn't objected, he might have kicked the story into a grand finale.

It's hard to say who's stronger when the Six Powers clashes with the Eight Gates.

Lin Yan also wanted to see the difference between herself and Matt Kai.

"The Eight Gates is the ultimate physical technique I have cultivated."

"If you want to know how strong it is, just compete with me and you'll find out!"

Matt Kai confidently gave Lin Yan a thumbs-up again.

"Alright, I was just looking forward to stretching my muscles today."

I hope you won't disappoint me.

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she smiled and walked towards the training field.

At this moment Naruto and Sasuke, who were in the distance, also noticed what was happening.

The two boys immediately sensed something was wrong, stopped training, and looked over.

Might Guy, on the other hand, simply followed after them.
