"Guy, what's wrong recently? Why are you so distracted? Could it be..."
Asuma winked as he spoke, while secretly stealing a glance at Yuhi Kurenai who was sitting opposite him.
Indeed, Guy hasn't been out on any missions recently. This state is also very wrong. He actually has no appetite for his favorite spicy curry rice. Could it be that he has been hit by Kakashi again?
"Speaking of which, it has been a while since I saw Kakashi. It should not be because of Kakashi."
Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of Anbu's mission. After all, they were in a public place.
Because they had not seen each other for a long time, they would have a meal together every once in a while to contact each other.
Of course, no one would mention the mission secrets. This was the basic rule of a ninja.
Asuma and the others whispered, while Guy, who was sitting outside, was struggling with the spicy curry rice in front of him with trembling hands.
If it were for any other time, he would be able to eliminate this plate of curry rice in five seconds at most!
Then, he would be a hundred times more energetic, which would be a great burden to the people around him!
But today, he could not even hold the spoon steadily. Not only was his hand shaking violently, his appetite was also not very good.
As for the reason...
Forget it!
He even regretted accepting the proposal back then. If he did not accept it, it would not be so troublesome.
Counting the time, twenty days had passed since the one-month deadline.
And in these twenty days, he would go to the same place every day and have a '1v1 man battle' with someone.
It was the same today. He wanted to ask for a day off, but in the end, he couldn't control himself. After being attacked, he automatically entered the state of counterattack, and then fought until it was dark.
In the end, he rushed over wearing these dirty clothes and only had time to wrap clean bandages around his hands.
Fortunately, the people around him knew him very well. They only thought that he ran to train again and forgot the time in the end, so he looked so miserable.
Otherwise, no one would believe that he had actually been forcefully dragged to this point by a six-year-old brat in battle.
As long as he thought of the fearless gaze of the other party and the attitude of never giving up no matter how much blood and sweat he shed, Guy would not be able to harden his heart and reject the kid in front of him.
In the end, the two of them reached a promise and set a deadline of one month.
At first, Guy was really looking forward to Aoba being able to hold on for a few days, but in the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed. Not only did Aoba not give up, but he also became more and more courageous as he fought!
No matter how many injuries he suffered the day before, the next day, he would definitely appear in front of him full of vigor and vitality.
Moreover, the speed at which his strength improved was astonishing!
Even with the help of his consciousness, Kekkei Genkai's defensive ability was getting stronger and stronger.
Guy had never heard of Kekkei Genkai who could improve in this way before.
However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
After all, Kekkei Genkai needed to develop this thing frequently. He would never know where the limit of this thing was without having to come out.
Thinking about it like this, it was quite normal.
However, there was some bitterness that Guy couldn't say. After all, he didn't have any Kekkei Genkai. The only thing he could protect with his hands was flesh... and a few circles of bandages.
The effect of the latter could be completely ignored...
Therefore, after his daily routine, he had to go to the hospital. Otherwise, if he caught an 'iron hammer' every day, his hands and feet would be scrapped sooner or later!
But compared to the injuries he suffered, Aoba suffered more injuries each time.
There were even a few times when he was checking whether he had hit too hard and wanted to end the confrontation.
He really didn't want such a good seedling to be accidentally destroyed in his hands!
But this guy clearly had a half-dead appearance every time.
When he stood in front of him the next day, his injuries would be mostly healed. Although there was a certain effect, it wouldn't be enough to cancel the' fight between men '.
And then he actually persevered day by day...
This made Guy, who had been thinking back to the past few days, feel a little dazed. This was the first time he had seen someone who was as desperate as him in training.
Thus, a feeling called 'recognition' began to appear in Guy's heart.
"That guy will definitely become an amazing ninja in the future!"
Guy couldn't help but give the highest evaluation in his heart.
"What amazing ninja? Are you still brooding over the fact that Kakashi promoted you so quickly?"
Asuma, who had come to Guy's side at some unknown time, suddenly hugged his neck and teased.
"As an opponent in my life! I will never be jealous of Kakashi because of this! And it won't take long for me to successfully promote Jonin!"
Guy did not take Asuma's words as a joke. Instead, he replied very seriously.
Then, he fiercely picked up the plate and pulled the rest of the spicy curry rice into his mouth. Then, he gulped down another large cup of water and forcefully swallowed it.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I'm done eating. Training, training!"
As he spoke, Guy ignored the other people's troubled gazes and walked out with vigorous strides. He had suffered too much from other people's gazes since he was young, and he had long since learned to ignore them and focus on being himself!
If he did not have such a pure mentality, he would not have been able to achieve his current achievements, let alone become the future 'Guy Emperor'!
Compared to Guy, no one else in the shop could do this.
"Guy actually left just like that. He didn't even say a few words. Seriously."
"Forget it, forget it. Is there anyone who doesn't know about Guy's character? Other than training, there is nothing else in his head. Let him go."
"Who said that? If Kakashi was here, Guy would definitely pester Kakashi to have a hot-blooded duel of youth with him!"
"Haha, he is really good at learning."
"That's right, it is something that Guy can do. Unfortunately, after Kakashi entered...*Cough cough*, I rarely see him. "
"That's right. Unknowingly, we have already been left so far behind."
Suddenly, no one spoke. The atmosphere became a little heavy and awkward.
Kakashi had long been active in the battlefield, and now he had even entered Anbu. As for them, whether it was the incident of Kyuubi or the war that Kumogakure had restarted, they could not interfere.
Or it could be said that the village did not allow them to participate in the war!
It was because they had not truly grown up yet and still needed to protect the next generation.
If they all became Jonin early like Kakashi and became the mainstay in the village, would it be their turn to stand up and protect others? Would they be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield and protect their homes?
There was no answer to this question, or perhaps everyone had a clear answer in their hearts.
"Let's disperse. I have to go back and work hard on my cultivation," Kurenai suddenly said.
Everyone nodded silently and finally left.
