Chapter 9: Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi
Uzumaki Naruto woke up, washed, ate breakfast, and went out to exercise.
On the way, he ran into Might Guy, who was wearing a green jumpsuit.
Might Guy saw Naruto also exercising, frog-jumped in front of him, and said, "Little friend, do you want to unleash our youth together?"
Naruto nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Ah...! Today I met someone willing to unleash youth with me! I'll reward myself with five hundred frog jumps! Let's go, let's unleash our youth together!"
Although Naruto felt awkward, he still followed Might Guy. After all, Might Guy was indeed a very good Taijutsu teacher.
It must be said that Might Guy's physical stamina was still very strong. Naruto kept frog-jumping with Might Guy, drinking Spirit Spring water several times before he could barely keep up with Might Guy until the end.
Might Guy was a bit surprised to see that Narutocould actually keep up with his stamina.
Naruto saw Might Guy stop and instinctively wanted to drink a mouthful of Spirit Spring water to relieve his fatigue, but after thinking about it, he didn't. If he relieved his fatigue now, Might Guywould definitely discover the problem.
Might Guy saw Naruto lying on the ground, gave a thumbs-up, showed his pearly white teeth, and said to Naruto, "You can't lie on the ground and rest right after frog jumps! Youth doesn't allow such laziness!"
Naruto said with a bitter smile to Might Guy, "Uncle! Let me rest for a bit, I really have no strength left."
"No way! If you lie down now, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"But I'm too tired to move!"
"Then what should we do! I know!"
After saying that, Might Guy grabbed Naruto and shook him up, down, left, and right for a while, almost making Naruto throw up.
Then Might Guy shook Naruto left and right for another while, and Naruto was almost dizzy.
"Uncle, I can't take it anymore! If you shake me any more, I'm going to throw up."
In fact, Naruto could also feel that Might Guy was shaking his muscles to help them relax as quickly as possible.
But Might Guy seemed to completely ignore Naruto's words and shook him for a while longer, until Naruto finally, spectacularly, fainted.
The moment Naruto fainted, two masked Anbuappeared, looking at Might Guy.
"Kakashi! Why are you here? Let's have our forty-third duel!"
That's right, one of the two Anbu was the white-haired Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake looked at Might Guy with a dark expression and said, "I have a mission right now! Hand him over to me."
But Might Guy shook his head, picked up Narutowith one hand, and put him behind him, saying, "No way! This is the disciple I've taken a liking to, you can't snatch him from me."
Three black lines appeared on Kakashi Hatake's forehead. He looked at Might Guy and said, "His situation is special. If you want to take him as your disciple, you need the permission of Lord Third Hokage."
Might Guy heard Kakashi Hatake's words, and after thinking about something, he nodded and said, "Yosh! I will go ask Lord Third."
After Might Guy finished speaking, he handed Naruto over to Kakashi Hatake.
After Kakashi Hatake sent Naruto home, he went to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Not long after Naruto returned home, he woke up, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't use any strength, not even the strength to move a finger.
Naruto used his mind to draw some Spirit Spring water in the Spirit Spring Space and drank two large mouthfuls to relieve his fatigue.
Just as Naruto was about to sit up, he stiffly lay back down.
"The people monitoring outside must be very concerned about his current situation. If he sits up now, he will definitely be discovered."
So Naruto quickly entered the Spirit Spring Space, placed a Shadow Clone where he had been lying, and thought that this should avoid any problems.
Naruto's original body arrived in the Spirit Spring Space, rubbing his sore and swollen muscles, accelerating the effect of the Spirit Spring water.
In less than ten minutes, both the feeling of fatigue and soreness had completely disappeared.
Naruto bounced twice on the ground and said, "The amount of exercise today was really intense. I didn't expect Might Guy's one morning training session to be more intense than all my training combined during this period."
Naruto watched the Shadow Clones in the space, still busy with their respective tasks. After dispelling them, he recreated them to continue their previous training.
Naruto seized the opportunity, and his original body returned to the room, quickly dispelling the Shadow Clone in the room.
Now he also needed to plan carefully how to train in the future without being discovered.
Today, he left a good impression on Might Guy. Even with Hiruzen Sarutobi's warning, if he had any Taijutsu questions in the future, Might Guywouldn't refuse him. Achieving this effect was enough.
As for cultivating the Eight Gates, there was no hurry. As long as he improved his physical stamina first, the Eight Gates Taijutsu would be easy to master.
However, cultivating Taijutsu required perseverance, and even if successful, training could not be relaxed, which was a bit of a headache.
"If only I had Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Forging Technique, constantly using Lightning Release to temper my body."
Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly sat up. Since there was no Lightning Release Body Forging Technique from Kumogakure, why couldn't he develop his own? He could just create Shadow Clones and have them slowly experiment.
Just when Naruto thought he had a solution, he realized it wouldn't work. He only had a simple idea now, and implementing it would be very difficult. Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Forging Technique used Lightning Release to stimulate cells to temper the body.
Without a proper direction, he would just ruin himself!
The more Naruto thought about it, the more irritable he became, feeling that there was still so much to learn.
If he wanted to develop Ninjutsu, he would definitely need to have a thorough understanding of the Chakra circulation points, which would inevitably require learning Medical Ninjutsu.
Just as Naruto was feeling annoyed, there was a knock on the door.
Naruto secretly wondered, 'At this hour, who would be knocking?'
However, Naruto still opened the door and saw a charming woman with long, wavy black hair draped over her shoulders and a pair of ruby-red eyes.
If Naruto remembered correctly, this should be Kurenai Yuhi, skilled in Genjutsu.
"Pretty Big Sister? Do... do you need something?"
Kurenai Yuhi looked at Naruto with a hint of pity in her eyes, but it was quickly masked. She quickly answered Naruto's question.
"Lord Third asked me to teach you how to read!"
"Grandpa Third sent you! That's great!"
Naruto quickly invited Kurenai Yuhi inside.
Kurenai Yuhi didn't stand on ceremony with Narutoand walked into the house.
But after entering, Kurenai Yuhi regretted it a bit. Naruto's house was no better than her own; it was messy, dirty, and comparable to a junkyard.
