While Might Guy and Obito were singing praises about the power of youth.
Standing aside, Natsuhiko was also overwhelmed by the strong youthful aura emanating from Might Guy, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
He silently took two steps back and reopened "Guide to Evaluating Spirit Beast Girls" on the interface to calm his nerves, lest he be infected by Might Guy's youthful virus.
This also reminded him of something.
Could it be that Kakashi always holding onto "Intimacy Paradise" was also for this reason?
Fight poison with poison?
Could it be that I've been wrongly accusing him all this time?
With the spirit of scientific spirit in himself to verify this theory, Natsuhiko flipped to the next page...
After a long while, Might Guy finally poured out all his burning youthful essence onto Obito, and calmed down for the time being.
And Natsuhiko happened to have just finished reading the volume about the Slug Girl.
Now Obito's special training was finally about to officially begin!
It's just that for some reason, Obito looked exhausted.
Even though the special training hadn't started yet, he already felt very tired—mentally tired.
...
Kakashi's arch nemesis Number one and Number Two arrived at a small stadium behind the teaching building.
Natsuhiko stood at the edge of the field and said to the two people:
"First, in order to understand Obito's current specific strength, I need you both to engage in a Taijutsu match."
"Yes!" X2
The special training officially began, and Obito and Might Guy finally took it seriously.
They followed the usual training routine, walked onto the training stadium, stood opposite to each other while keeping some distance , and each formed a confrontational stance.
Obito looked a bit worried while training against Might Guy.
"Usually, during Taijutsu class, Might Guy and I are evenly matched. I can't afford to be careless."
"I must perform well and show Natsuhiko-sensei my true strength!"
Encouraging himself, Obito's fighting spirit became more intense.
However, just as the two were about to start, Natsuhiko suddenly interrupted them.
"Oh, Guy, are you wearing weights? Can you take them off first?"
"Huh, Sensei, how did you know?"
Might Guy raised his thick eyebrows, showing a surprised expression.
"It's natural to see it from the slight imbalance in your movements."
Natsuhiko adjusted his non-existent glasses, emitting a wise aura.
Although Natsuhiko wasn't lying, without knowing this possibility from the original work, it would have been challenging for him to notice the slight imbalance in his posture.
But Might Guy, unaware of these details, looked at Natsuhiko with admiration.
"Amazing! Even my Taijutsu teacher did not notice it, Natsuhiko-sensei! Your Taijutsu must be very difficult to deal with. Let's have a Power of Youth showdown!"
Natsuhiko's expression slightly changed upon hearing this. He regretted the momentary impulse to show off, as it attracted the attention of a strange creature.
"Your opponent is over there!"
He quickly pointed to the opposite side of Might Guy, where Obito, the actual protagonist for today, was sadly left out of the action.
"Oh, right!"
Guy finally remembered the purpose of coming here today, to help Obito with special training.
Thinking about Natsuhiko-sensei's proposal, he hesitated as he looked down at the weights on his legs.
Seeing this, Natsuhiko added, "If you can't take them off, it's okay. It's just a spar."
However, after contemplating for a moment, Guy shook his head and said:
"No, Sensei, you're right. Since I promised to assist Obito in training with all my strength, I can't hold back at all. The Power of Youth can't tolerate half-hearted efforts!"
Having said that, Guy began to remove the weights from his body.
Apart from the leg guards, he had hidden many small weights all over his body.
The unremarkable weights fell to the ground, making a dull sound.
Compared to the spectacle of Lee removing weights during the Chunin Exams in the original work, it wasn't as impressive, but considering Guy being only five...
Natsuhiko almost considered reporting Might Duy for child abuse!
Although everyone in the Ninja World matured early, Guy's intense physical training at the age of five was still very excessive.
It was a miracle that his body hadn't broken down yet.
No wonder Guy, who could barely enter the academy half a year ago, would graduate from the ninja academy at the age of seven, second only to the genius Kakashi.
Obito, facing Guy, was now completely astonished.
After a while, he pointed at the weights on the ground and stammered:
"S-So, Guy, you've been training and sparring with these heavy things on your body all the time?"
If that was the case, then his even record with Guy was equivalent to Obito cheating, right?
Obito suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He remembered that Guy was admitted to the academy at the last minute and ranked lowest in everything!
Except for Taijutsu, which he could barely showcase, Guy struggled with all other subjects, even worse than Obito.
While Obito, born into the Uchiha clan, slacked off every day, waiting for the moment to shine and surpass everyone, Guy was silently training.
Even now, with his strength surpassing most of the class, Guy didn't boast and still endured the ridicule from others.
However, the real clowns were most of the people in the class, including Obito himself.
Although Obito was often called the least Uchiha-like Uchiha by many, influenced by his surroundings, he, like other Uchiha, blindly believed in the power of the Sharingan.
He made opening his eyes his life goal, distinguishing nobility and lowliness through the power of eyes.
As if everything could be solved as long as he awakened the Sharingan.
However, at this moment, cracks began to appear in Obito's blind faith in the Sharingan.
Because he started to doubt whether, even if he activated the Sharingan in the future, he could really defeat Guy, who trained day and night without pause.
This doubt gradually turned into resentment, and Obito said angrily:
"Impossible!I won't lose to you Guy! I'll go back and start to add weights on my body myself!"
Hey, this isn't the Dragon Ball world. Don't engage in wearing a weighted suit race; don't get the scenes mixed up.
Natsuhiko complained helplessly in his mind.
He even imagined Obito getting into a fight halfway, suddenly yelling, "I'll be serious now!" and then throwing his goggles on the ground, creating a huge pit...
To avoid such a situation, Natsuhiko had to advise:
"Obito, don't act recklessly. There's a lot to consider in doing the weight training and weight's placement, or you might get injured. Everyone has their own path; you don't have to follow Guy's path."
You'd better wait for your great-grandfather to give you some power-ups.
Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but scratch his head. It turned out wearing weights involved so many drawbacks. He had to dismiss the unrealistic idea he had just now.
Guy, listening to Natsuhiko's words, nodded even more, and was eager to see Natsuhiko-sensei's strength.
Natsuhiko added, "Since you're both ready, let's get started."
So, under Natsuhiko's watchful eyes, the two began a spirited Taijutsu match with the Power of Youth.
Natsuhiko watched the two children yelling and engaging in bland combat.
After all, they were only five years old, and even with innate talent, their current level was unimpressive to Natsuhiko.
But to fulfill his duty as a sensei, Natsuhiko resisted opening the next volume of the Snake Lady. Natsuhiko continued to forcefully analyze the movements of the two, who were now engaged in a Taijutsu match.
At this moment, Obito naturally wasn't a worthy opponent of Might Guy, who had just released his seals, and quickly found himself on the losing end.
However, every time he was about to be defeated, Natsuhiko would intervene, blocking Guy's decisive strike and allowing them to continue sparring.
After repeating this process a dozen times, Natsuhiko finally told them to stop.
Looking at Obito, who seemed to be questioning his life after witnessing by Guy's true strength, Natsuhiko slowly said:
"As I thought. Obito, compared to the overly complex Uchiha-style Taijutsu, the simple and straightforward Konoha-Style Taijutsu is more suitable for you if you want to quickly improve your strength in the future."
Although Obito's Uchiha-style Taijutsu would become very difficult to deal with in the original work, Natsuhiko observed that, before turning dark, Obito seemed unable to escape the comical tag assigned to him by the authorl, often making mistakes in battles.
Moreover, Uchiha-style Taijutsu, which favored flashy moves, highlighted this flaw.
After all, the more steps involved, the higher the chance of making a mistake.
That's why Natsuhiko suggested that he should switch to the simple and brutal Konoha-Style Taijutsu.
Obito felt that Natsuhiko-sensei was indirectly calling him an idiot again.
However, having just witnessed the formidable power of Guy's Konoha-Style Taijutsu, Obito didn't resist the idea too much.
As for the argument that the Uchiha Clan cannot use Konoha-Style Taijutsu?
They weren't as traditional as the Hyuga clan.
In fact, those with Sharingan, like them, often copied the Taijutsu of their opponents and incorporated it into their own fighting style.
But Obito still had some doubts.
"But sensei, even if Konoha-Style Taijutsu is more suitable for me, I've been practising Uchiha-style Taijutsu for so long. Isn't it too late to switch now?"
Natsuhiko smiled slightly.
"Of course, it's not too late, Obito. Haven't you forgotten about your mission to test teaching tools?"
"Wait, Natsuhiko-sensei, do you have a teaching tool that can quickly teach me Konoha-Style Taijutsu?"
Obito's eyes gleamed with curiosity, a bit excited at the prospect of taking a shortcut, showing signs of his old habits.
Guy also showed curiosity, but with a hint of scepticism. In his mind, Taijutsu should be something earned through accumulated long-term training, without any shortcuts.
Taking in their reactions, Natsuhiko smiled and didn't explain. He simply flipped his left hand and took out a storage card, unsealing it directly.
Bang!
After the white smoke cleared, Natsuhiko held two soft, yellow objects in his left hand, looking somewhat familiar to him.
Then, with a shake of his left hand, he unfolded the two yellow objects.
Finally, the two recognized what it was.
They were tight clothes, and sensei was holding tight clothes!
But that wasn't all. Natsuhiko held the tight clothes in front of the two in his left hand and said loudly with his bright teeth out and his ring thumb raised.
"That's right, this is the most powerful teaching tool for Taijutsu training!"
"As long as you wear these tight clothes, you'll immediately comprehend the essence of Taijutsu training!"
After speaking, he grinned, revealing two rows of shiny white teeth.
Obito and his companion, A Guy, were both stunned.
This method of promotion felt so familiar...
Obito stiffly turned his head to look at Guy, wanting to ask: Is he a relative of yours?
At this moment, Guy was also shaken.
Because he absolutely didn't expect that, apart from his father, someone would recommend him to wear tight clothes for training...
