They continued chatting as they made their way to Kaito's home. When they reached the Uzumaki residence, Kakashi stopped outside.
Seeing Kakashi stopping, Kaito asked, "You're not staying for dinner?"
Kakashi shook his head and replied, "No, I have something to attend to, maybe some other time."
With a nod, Kaito said, "Then I'll see you at the finals."
Kakashi gave a small nod before body flickering away.
Once inside his home, Kaito spent time with his family before retiring for the night. He couldn't help but feel both nervous and excited about his upcoming training with Might Guy.
…..
The village hidden in the Leafs was still shrouded in darkness, but the first hints of dawn were starting to break through. In the Uzumaki residence, Kaito was already dressed for the day and ready to start his training. He grabbed his tanto and left his room with light footsteps.
As he made his way down the corridor toward the kitchen, He could hear the faint sounds of birds chirping outside, signaling that it was almost time for the villagers to begin their daily routines.
Upon entering the kitchen, Kaito found his mother Kushina bustling about, preparing breakfast for the family. She was dressed in her usual apron and had a warm smile on her face as she tasted the soup to make sure it had enough salt.
"Good morning Mom," Kaito greeted her as he walked over to her and kissed her on her cheek. "What are you making today?"
Kushina hummed happily at her son and replied, "Good morning to you too Kai-kun! I'm making tamagoyaki with rice and miso soup. I just finished making the rice and miso soup. all that's left is cooking the tamagoyaki." She turned off the stove for the soup and set it aside.
"Let me help, Mom," Kaito offered as took out a bowl and some eggs. Kushina chuckled and allowed her son to assist, He cracked the eggs into the bowl while Kushina poured in the dashi that she had prepared earlier.
Together, mother and son worked together as they cooked the tamagoyaki. It was one of their favorite bonding activities, and they always had fun while doing it.
The kitchen was alive with the sounds and smells of cooking as mother and son worked together to make their favorite dish, tamagoyaki. Kaito's small hands carefully cracked the eggs into a bowl while his mother, Kushina, expertly mixed them with a splash of soy sauce. They laughed and chatted as they cooked, enjoying this special bonding time that they both cherished.
After finishing the tamagoyaki, they sat down at the table to eat breakfast. Kushina took a bite of her perfectly cooked egg roll and asked her son, "So, kai-kun, what are your plans for today?"
Kaito swallowed his bite before answering, "Just training. Kakashi asked one of his friends to help me since he was away on a mission. I'll be meeting him later."
Curiosity peaked, Kushina hummed and asked, "Do you happen to know who Kakashi asked to help you?"
Kaito thought for a moment before replying, "Someone named Guy. Do you know him, Mom?"
Kushina nodded, "Guy? Isn't he the one with the green jumpsuit?" She tapped her chin in thought. "I don't believe we've met before, but I have seen him around the village a few times. Your father has mentioned him as well." She shrugged and went back to eating her breakfast.
As they continued to eat, Kaito asked "What about you Mom? Any plans for today?".
Kushina finished chewing and replied, "Not much. I don't have any errands to run today. Just some free time. Although I do need to teach Naru-chan some fuinjutsu later." She let out a sigh and shook her head. "Speaking of which," she said with a hint of frustration in her voice, "I need to wake that boy up."
As she stood up to clear their plates, Kaito offered to wash the dishes. She smiled gratefully at him before heading upstairs to wake up Naruto. After washing the dishes, Kaito made a shadow clone and walked towards the front door.
Just as he finished tying his sandals, Kushina came back down and saw him off. "Bye Mom, I'll see you later," Kaito said with a small wave before giving her a quick hug.
"Do your best, y'know," Kushina called out after him, a proud smile on her face as she watched him disappear into the distance.
Hopping effortlessly from tree to tree, Kaito made his way toward the training grounds
After a few minutes of travel, Kaito landed in a clearing and stretched his body. "Let's get started," he muttered to himself before making a cross-hand sign and creating six shadow clones.
Looking at his clones, Kaito confidently declared, "You guys know what to do." the clones split and set off to work on their assigned tasks - three focusing on earth nature transformation, one was tasked with perfecting ninjutsu with minimum chakra and hand signs, and two were training to better use his Adamantine Sealing Chains. Meanwhile, Kaito himself made a half-ram sign and activated the gravity and resistance seal on his body.
As soon as the seals were activated, Kaito felt the strain on his body increase. he didn't want to impede his growth by constantly keeping the seal active. after all, he was only 9 and a half years old. "It's now on level 5," he thought as he began his training.
He started by running around the training ground at full speed for 30 minutes before moving on to calisthenics and finishing with an hour-long meditation while using his Kagura's mind's eye to sense the surroundings. he dispelled each clone one by one with a five-minute interval between each one.
As he focused on his meditation, Kaito sensed someone approaching the training ground. He opened his eyes and saw a man with a distinctive bowl-cut hairstyle landing in the clearing. The man wore a vibrant green jumpsuit with a Konoha vest over it and had his forehead protector tied neatly around his waist. Kaito recognized him as Might Guy and the person Madara deemed as the strongest taijutsu user.
Kaito observed that Guy had chakra, though not as much as other ninja. It was a common misconception that Guy had little to no chakra, but in reality, he simply had a smaller reserve compared to others. him possessing the summoning contract with turtles is proof.
Guy approached Kaito with his trademark grin and energetic attitude. "Yosh!" he exclaimed, you must be Kaito, I am mighty guy Konoha's Sublime Green Beast of Prey " Giving Kaito a thumbs up and a Grin
Kaito stood up and nodded respectfully. "Yes, I'm Kaito. Pleased to meet you, Guy-san. Kakashi mentioned that you'd be sparring with me."
Guy's grin widened at the mention of Kakashi. "Ah, my eternal rival approaches me with a request to aid you in your training as a sparing partner! Let us fan the flames of our youth with a spar!" His enthusiasm was infectious.
Kaito nodded excitedly, as he asked, "Hai, taijutsu only?" As he got into his ready stance
Guy nodded in agreement and mimicked Kaito as he got into the strong fist stance. In the blink of an eye, Kaito was in front of Guy, throwing a fast punch aimed directly at his opponent's face. But Guy effortlessly sidestepped and countered with a powerful punch of his own.
Kaito reacted quickly, blocking the blow by grabbing his fist and thinking to himself, "He's fast." Using his grip on Guy's fist, Kaito flipped and aimed a kick towards Guy's head. But once again, Guy dodged by leaning back and catching Kaito's leg before tossing him backward.
Mid-air, Kaito righted himself and landed in a skidding before looking up to see Guy apon him with his signature move - the "Leaf Hurricane". With fast reflexes, Kaito managed to dodge the attack and counter with a kick of his own.
The two continued their intense spar, jumping back and forth as they exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks. However, Kaito could feel himself starting to get overwhelmed by Guy's skill and strength.
Taking a hard punch to the face, Kaito was sent flying backward but managed to catch himself mid-air and land in another skidding motion. wiping the blood from the corner of his lip, Kaito thought, "The strongest indeed. he lives up to his name. I'll need to give it my all if I want this spar to last." With a confident smirk, Kaito got back into his stance, ready to give it his all against Guy.
The training ground was riddled with holes from their intense spar. Kaito lay on the ground, panting heavily while Guy stood beside him, both of them feeling winded and exhausted. Bruises decorated Kaito's body and face, and blood trickled down from his split lip. Guy didn't look much better as he also sported a few bruises.
"Yosh! What a youthful display, young Kaito! Your flames of youth burn brightly," Guy exclaimed between breaths. "I shall run around the village 100 times to fan the flames of youth!"
Kaito couldn't believe how much energy Guy still had after their intense fight. As he sat up and took a sip of water from an unsealed bottle, Kaito couldn't help but ask, "Guy-san, when can we have another spar?"
Pausing mid-ramble, Guy looked at Kaito with a thoughtful expression. "Hm...I will come by every two days," he finally replied.
Kaito nodded, knowing that guy would be a good sparing partner to keep up with. With a booming voice, Guy announced, "Yosh! I should get going and complete 100 rounds around the village!" And with that, he took off running in the direction of the village, shouting something about the power of youth.
Sweat dripping down his face, Kaito lied back on the soft grass and used Heal bite to mend any injuries from their intense training session. After about 30 minutes, he sensed two familiar chakra signatures approaching the training ground. Sitting back up, Kaito thought aloud, "What are they doing here?"
Just then, Kushina appeared in the clearing, holding Naruto's hand and carrying a picnic basket in her other arm. Four-and-a-half-year-old Naruto excitedly ran toward his big brother,
"Big brother!" Naruto exclaimed happily as he hugged Kaito.
"Hey there, Naruto," Kaito greeted him as the young boy.
Kaito turned to his mother and asked, "Mom, what are you both doing here?" Though seeing the basket he already knew the answer.
Kushina smiled and replied, "You forgot your lunch at home, yknow! So, we were bringing you your launch and I thought we could have a picnic while we are at it yknow."
As if on cue, Kaito's stomach rumbled loudly, causing him to blush sheepishly. Kushina chuckled and said, "Looks like you're hungry. Come help me set up the picnic blanket."
