"It's a little kid... How did you get here?"
Might Guy looked at the boy with some curiosity and asked a question. He had initially thought the boy was peeping at someone, but it turned out to be just a child.
The boy showed no panic in the face of Might Guy's question, and calmly replied, "Well, I was practicing Kunai throwing over there when I heard the commotion, so I came over."
"I see..."
Might Guy looked slightly enlightened, smiled at the boy, and didn't seem to care much.
However, Uya, looked at the boy with a deep look in his eyes, which shone with an unusual light.
Although he was still just a child, Uya could easily recognize him as Uchiha Itachi.
It's been a while since Sasuke was born, and as for Naruto... his identity is still being hidden by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his name doesn't follow his father's surname, Namikaze, but rather, like in the original story, he takes his mother's surname, Uzumaki.
Uchiha Itachi had never met Uya; after all, he was still too young. However, he knew that the two people in front of him were very strong.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't sense any aura from Uya, as if Uya were just an ordinary person. However, Might Guy considered very strong, addressed Uya as "senpai," clearly indicating that Uya was definitely not an ordinary person.
Despite his young age, Uchiha Itachi's thinking was completely out of character for someone his age.
"I'm sorry to have disturbed you both, I'll leave right away."
Itachi bowed slightly to Uya and Might Guy, then turned around and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Might Guy also saw the symbol on the back of Uchiha Itachi's clothes, which was the fan that symbolized the Uchiha Clan.
The Uchiha Clan?!
A slight look of surprise appeared on Might Guy, but he didn't seem to care much.
Watching Uchiha Itachi leave, Uya shook his head and gently patted Might Guy on the shoulder.
Buzz!!
A surge of power rippled outwards, and Might Guy's body suddenly sank, a terrifying weight falling upon him—this was Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique.
Might Guy cannot learn the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, nor can he learn the Added-Weight Rock Technique; only Uya can perform it on him.
"Alright! Now do another five hundred push-ups!"
Feeling the weight on his body, Might Guy's face showed a hint of excitement, and he began exercising again.
Uya, meanwhile, gazed in the direction Uchiha Itachi had left, a look of keen interest on his face.
Uchiha Itachi returned to the place where he had previously trained. On the tree trunk in front of him hung two targets, and he took out several Kunai from his hand and suddenly swept them towards the targets.
laugh!!
Several Kunai hit the bullseye of one of the targets with remarkable accuracy.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at the target to the side, hesitated for a moment, then took out two Shuriken and suddenly threw them.
bite!!
The two Shuriken. One of them was immediately deflected, arcing through the air and landing on the target to the side.
However, it didn't hit the bullseye, but rather landed on the very edge.
"The rotational force should be increased slightly..."
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment, then walked to the target and took out Kunai and Shuriken.
At the same time, he recalled the scene of Might Guy training that he had just witnessed.
"That person's body is incredibly strong. How exactly does one cultivate to reach that level of Taijutsu?"
A strange light flickered in Itachi's eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter a word to himself.
Then, Uchiha Itachi thought of Might Guy, who was standing next to Uya.
"And that person in the loose white robe, he looks like an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, he seems to have a sense of complete integration with nature."
"Should we ask them about their Taijutsu training?"
Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment, hesitated slightly, and finally shook his head.
As dusk fell, Uchiha Itachi returned home, first visiting his younger brother Sasuke, and then began to eat dinner.
During the meal, Uchiha Itachi casually mentioned to Uchiha Fugaku the two people he had seen in the forest.
Upon hearing what Might Guy looked like, Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment. The scene of Might Duy the Eight Gates Released Formation and suppressing the Four-Tails and Five-Tails in one fell swoop was truly astonishing.
Although Uchiha Fugaku did not participate in the battle to suppress the Tailed Beast, but instead led the Konoha Military Police Force to rescue the wounded within Konoha, he could still see the shocking scene outside the village.
Apart from the elderly, children, and the sick who were transferred to the shelter, such as Itachi and Sasuke, almost Konoha ninjas could see the pillar of light that fiercely suppressed the two Tailed Beast.
While everyone remembered Might Duy, they also paid close attention to Might Duy son, Might Guy, as the power of the Eight Gates Released Formation was terrifying to everyone.
Of course, some people try to learn the Eight Gates Released Formation, but most give up quickly. Although it is very powerful, it requires almost completely abandoning the training of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and focusing all Taijutsu's attention on Taijutsu.
Otherwise, you won't see any results from your cultivation.
There aren't many people who would actually give up training in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu to focus entirely on the most arduous Taijutsu, and it would be a losing proposition.
When Uchiha Itachi mentioned Might Guy, many thoughts flashed through Uchiha Fugaku's mind, but he quickly suppressed them and continued eating.
But then, when Uchiha Itachi described Uya's appearance, Uchiha Fugaku's eating motion suddenly froze.
"Are you sure?! And another person called him 'senpai'?" Uchiha Fugaku's expression became extremely serious.
"What's wrong?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at his father with some confusion, wondering why Uchiha Fugaku was reacting so strongly.
"I didn't expect him to still be in Konoha. But then again, he can go wherever he wants. No one in this world can stop him, "Uchiha Fugaku murmured to himself, a hint of awe in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, barely managing to calm himself down, and looked at Uchiha Itachi with utmost seriousness, saying, "Wherever you see him, do not mention him to anyone. If you see him again, you must show him respect and absolutely must not offend him."
This was the first time Uchiha Itachi had ever seen his father so solemn. Even Uchiha Fugaku had never shown such an expression when mentioning the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Who on earth could make his father show such a solemn expression and say something like, "You absolutely cannot offend him!"? (To be continued.)
