Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 39 Youthful Brother

In the end, Naruto gave Hikari 1000 grams of chakra metal as start-up capital, along with another item: the manuscript for the Ninja World version of "Battle of the Heavens".

I don't know how much the royalties are in this world, but the original author, Jiraiya, made a fortune writing about Liu Bei, which should also be considered income.

After explaining the important matters, Naruto carefully instructed him to activate the Flying Thunder God seal on his body using chakra in case of emergency. With that, his figure vanished from the spot with a "whoosh".

Upon returning to Konoha, Naruto first disguised himself as an ordinary villager and bought several fox masks at the market, having already given the previous one to Neji. Then, he casually returned to his daily training routine.

A few days later, in the early morning, as Naruto was doing his morning exercise, a shout suddenly pierced the air.

"Ooh ooh ooh! To better unleash our youth during the next Konoha crisis! Now, let's start by running 100 laps around Konoha! Then, walk 100 laps upside down! Finally, 500 push-ups and 500 finger push-ups!"

Passersby cast curious glances, as if looking at a rare and exotic creature, some even bursting into laughter. But the green figure was already used to this treatment, and its way of responding to such looks had been decided long ago.

"Laugh if you want to! But I won't stop!"

He calls himself "Konoha's proud blue beast - Crazy Guy", but Guy is not crazy, just an overly enthusiastic man.

With his iconic kappa-like hairstyle, thick, bushy eyebrows, and a dazzlingly bright green bodysuit—yes, Konoha's Azure Beast, Might Guy, has finally returned to the village!

Fortunately, this guy was out of the village on a mission when Naruto was causing havoc in Konoha... Naruto silently added in his mind, while subtly adjusting his training route and "accidentally" moving closer to Guy's direction.

"Wait a minute! This is a senior colleague who's been working hard and sweating it out!"

A clear, childlike voice suddenly came from behind. Matt Kai slammed on the brakes, the dust kicking up in a small whirlwind. He turned around abruptly, his thick eyebrows raised high, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Oh? This is... Could it be that someone has finally understood my way of youth...?"

However, when he saw who it was, his enthusiastic words came to an abrupt halt. Although he had already judged from the voice that the other person was young, the sight of this tiny, blond-haired, blue-eyed little boy, barely reaching his knees, still left Kai speechless for a moment. The sight of a three-year-old child with such a serious expression created a strange sense of incongruity.

"I can tell!" Naruto declared loudly, hands on his hips and head tilted back. "Senpai, you must be a Jonin from Konoha! And—the kind that's extremely strong!"

Matt Kai was stunned, but the next second, his expression suddenly shone brightly. With a "ding," his snow-white teeth reflected a beam of light—even the sun in the sky seemed to be playing along with his performance.

"That's right!!!" Guy responded with a deafening roar, raising his right thumb. "I am the proud Blue Beast of Konoha—Might Guy!!"

His voice echoed through the streets, "What do you want? The future of Konoha!"

"Since you're practicing taijutsu, senior..." Naruto puffed out his small chest, "Let's have a running contest! I'm also working hard to train in taijutsu to become a powerful ninja!"

Before he could finish speaking, Matt Kai's body suddenly froze on the spot as if a pause button had been pressed, his thick eyebrows raised high, and a suspicious glint appeared in his eyes.

"That's...that's amazing!!!"

With a deafening shout, Kai's tears gushed out like a burst dam. He suddenly squatted down and tightly grasped Naruto's hands.

"To have grasped the true meaning of youth at such a young age!! I admire your courage! Okay! I accept your challenge!"

As he spoke, Kai suddenly stood up, scanning his surroundings like a radar, finally locking onto a tree not far away. He stretched out his arm, his index finger pointing straight at the target.

"It's decided! We'll have a race to the tree! The loser has to do... one push-up!"

Naruto looked in the direction Guy pointed—the tree was no more than ten meters away from them. He was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "Wow, you big-eyed guy with thick eyebrows are actually this perceptive?"

Naruto gently shook his head, a composure beyond his years appearing on his youthful face, even though his voice still carried the clear, childlike quality of a child.

"No, Mr. Kai—please allow me to address you that way. This is no child's play; I crave a pure physical contest. My understanding far surpasses my age."

Kai suddenly stopped. He stared at the child who was barely up to his waist, and realized that the child was different.

"I see..." Guy knelt down on one knee again, bringing himself to Naruto's eye level, and gently placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Those eyes... do they actually contain such a heavy resolve?"

Kai's gaze was piercing. "Tell me, young child. What makes you bear such a profound awareness beyond your years?"

Naruto knew this was a crucial moment for building a bond. This was the correct response when facing Guy.

"I want to become stronger! To become a powerful ninja who can protect those I care about!"

The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Kai's pupils dilated slightly, and then—

"This is youth!!!"

A deafening shout ripped through the sky, startling flocks of birds from the treetops. Kai suddenly stood up, looked up at the sky and roared, tears streaming down his face like a spring.

"I understand! From this moment on, you are a worthy opponent that I, Might Guy, acknowledge! Age? That's just a number that records the years!"

He assumed a starting position, "Come on! Try to keep up with me!"

Before he finished speaking, Guy had already shot off like an arrow. But Naruto immediately realized that Guy was deliberately controlling his speed, maintaining a pace that was just enough for him to keep up.

The first step was successful.

Naruto's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he took small steps to catch up.
