Konoha's streets
Along the route to the Third Training Ground and in the surrounding area
Might Guy's earth-shattering cry of "A showdown of youth!!!" rang out as he dragged Genya Uchiha along, with no sign of resistance on Genya's face.
Like a green whirlwind, they swept out from Kakashi's doorstep and raced through the streets.
The villagers and ninja along the way caught only two blurred figures.
One dazzling green, the other a composed black, they zipped past to the accompaniment of Guy's signature, exuberant shouts.
"Burn, youth! A showdown with Konoha's young Genya awaits!!!"
"Let our burning blood prove a man's oath!!!"
"Ooooooh!!!!"
A commotion like that was impossible to ignore.
"Was that... Jonin Guy? And the person he was dragging... Lord Genya Uchiha?!"
A vegetable vendor rubbed his eyes.
"A duel? Jonin Guy is challenging Lord Genya?!"
"The Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf versus the Uchiha's young asura?! Oh my!"
"Quick! Get to the Third Training Ground! We'll miss the good spots if we're late!"
Like cold water dropped into boiling oil, the news exploded and spread at an astonishing speed.
Throughout the streets and alleys, ninja used the Body Flicker Technique, villagers ran to spread the word, and even the old men playing chess in teahouses abandoned their pieces and hobbled toward the training ground on their canes.
The commotion matched, if not surpassed, the sensation caused by the Dawn Girl Group's first public performance of "Blue Bird" in Konoha!
That had been a celebration of idols and music. This was a clash of pure strength and burning passion, one that stirred everyone's instinctive longing to see powerful fighters face off.
