Bang!
Might Guy flew back five meters, while Teacher Chen only slightly stepped back imperceptibly.
At this moment, Teacher Chen looked at Might Guy with immense admiration, already decided to become his mentor. Leaving such an excellent Taijutsu talent untrained would be a huge waste.
Although Might Guy and his team didn't manage to grab the bell, Teacher Chen didn't mind. The rules were his to set, and if he said they passed, then they passed.
"That's right, maybe that jutsu will work." Ebisu thought of the book cover Teacher Chen had been looking at and decided to take a gamble.
Though that Ninjutsu had given him a bad reputation, becoming Teacher Chen's disciple would be worth it.
"Deception Jutsu!"
Ebisu quickly formed hand signs, splitting into five clones of scantily clad older sisters.
"Teacher Chen, look over here." Ebisu shouted.
Teacher Chen was originally thinking about a training plan for Might Guy. Hearing Ebisu's words, he instinctively glanced over and was immediately captivated, causing a red liquid to trickle from his nose.
Whoosh!
Shiranui Genma immediately spat out the senbon he was biting, knocking the bell from Teacher Chen's waist.
Nearby, in the Full Concentration Breathing Eight Gates Armor Technique Second Gate state, Might Guy seized the opportunity, leaping forward to catch the falling bell.
"It really worked." Ebisu looked in disbelief at Might Guy holding the bell.
He didn't know what to say; Might Guy had just failed with an incredibly powerful Taijutsu kick, but his Ninjutsu, which had once ruined his reputation, surprisingly succeeded.
"Could it be this Ninjutsu is actually powerful?" Ebisu felt a slight wavering in his heart; this Ninjutsu had brought him too many misunderstandings. He never wanted to use it.
"Ebisu, you did a great job! Indeed, you're our famous Seductive Ninja in the fourth grade." Shiranui Genma laughed and praised Ebisu as he saw Might Guy seize the bell.
"You're the Seductive Ninja, I've said before that this Ninjutsu has nothing much to do with me, it was developed by those two Ninjutsu geniuses." Ebisu explained with a black line on his face.
"Alright, alright, I know. It wasn't your creation; you just like reading swimsuit magazines in your spare time." Shiranui Genma walked over, putting an arm around Ebisu's neck and chuckling.
Ebisu: …
This is why he didn't want to use that Ninjutsu; his explanations always fell on deaf ears, making things worse.
"Guy, who would've thought you still held back so much strength during your field test. If your opponents knew, they'd be scared to death." Shiranui Genma proceeded to praise Might Guy's strength.
"This training was thanks to your speed; otherwise, even with Ebisu's jutsu attracting attention, grabbing the bell would've been tough."
"Haha, after all, I'm the mighty Taijutsu beast." Might Guy accepted Shiranui Genma's praise, giving himself a thumbs up.
"Genma, your hidden weapon was crucial too, grabbing something from someone isn't easy." Might Guy acknowledged Shiranui Genma's contribution as well.
Teacher Chen was too strong. Might Guy believed snatching the bell was truly a result of the entire team's perfect cooperation at the last moment.
"Kids these days are quite formidable." Teacher Chen sighed, wiping the remaining nosebleed with tissue, and noting that those scantily clad older sisters had left a deep impression on him.
Of course, Might Guy and the others managed to grab the bell only because he went easy on them; in a real battle, such a trick wouldn't work on him.
"Ebisu, Shiranui Genma, Might Guy, right? You three are quite interesting. Training passed; you are now my students." Teacher Chen declared, announcing the trio had passed the training.
"Finally, it's over." Shiranui Genma breathed a sigh of relief; he felt as if he was either being hit or on his way to being hit.
"Good, another step towards success." Ebisu nodded to himself; becoming Teacher Chen's disciple promised a much brighter future than with an ordinary mentor.
"Teacher Chen, was that tornado-like Taijutsu you used earlier your own creation?" Might Guy asked curiously.
"That's right, it's my self-created Advanced Taijutsu, Konoha Dragon God." Teacher Chen nodded and replied proudly.
"So, interested in learning it? I can teach you, but not yet; you need to become stronger." Teacher Chen continued.
Compared to his peers, Might Guy was already extremely outstanding. However, in Teacher Chen's eyes, Guy needed to improve a bit more to learn the Konoha Dragon God.
Hearing Teacher Chen's words, Might Guy felt he had yet another reason to strive hard in his cultivation.
