"Se...sensei, is this... what you call the 'strongest teaching tool for Taijutsu training'?"
Obito pointed at the yellow tight clothes in Natsuhiko's hand with trembling fingers.
!!! Aren't these the same tight clothes as Might Guy's! Don't think I won't recognize it just because it's a different colour!
Obito looked at Natsuhiko-sensei holding the yellow tight clothes and Might Guy wearing green tight clothes, feeling a bit suspicious.
"Did I accidentally join some strange sect?"
The sect might be called "Tight Clothes God Cult"?
Might Guy was also surprised at the sight of these two yellow tight clothes. At this moment, he hadn't become an ardent supporter of the green tight clothes. He still maintained an open and welcoming attitude towards followers of other tight clothes sects.
So, he looked at Natsuhiko with an eager expression, as if he had discovered a roommate's interest in cross-dressing.
Indeed, sensei and I are like-minded! No wonder he could tell I was wearing weights just now.
At this point, Natsuhiko was still unaware of the significant change in his image in the hearts of the two students.
He continued introducing the tight clothes: "Don't underestimate these two tight clothes. They not only have excellent clothing, insulation, and moisture retention but also feature a perfect appearance and alignment with your bodies which is most convenient for your movements during training."
"When you wear them during training, you'll immediately feel the difference..."
The more Obito listened, the stranger his expression became, reinforcing his belief that he had been pulled into some weird sect. The syntax used for preaching was so similar between them.
Might Guy, on the other hand, was getting teary-eyed. Indeed, in this world, there were people who truly understood the wonders of tight clothes, aside from him and his father.
Natsuhiko's next words finally made them attentive, and they started to listen more seriously.
"More importantly, these two tight clothes are made with chakra-conductive materials. I've drawn special sealing jutsu runes on them that can greatly help with Taijutsu training."
When Obito heard that there were runes drawn on the tight clothes, his eyes lit up. Seeing Natsuhiko perform various cool sealing jutsu, these seemingly ordinary tight clothes suddenly seemed sophisticated.
"What kind of help are we talking about?" Obito asked eagerly, leaning in.
Natsuhiko helplessly poked his forehead to make him step back. "Wasn't I just about to explain?"
Looking at the curious faces of the two, Natsuhiko began to explain:
"To be honest, this thing is actually a byproduct of my failed invention. Originally, my idea was to have two people wear these tight clothes. Then, using a sensing array, I would record the chakra flow and changes in one person's body when they used Ninjutsu. Later, through a resonance array, I would reproduce it in the other person's body, achieving the effect of copying Ninjutsu."
"Ninjutsu copy???" Obito's reaction was much more intense than Might Guy's, who couldn't help but touch the corner of his eye.
Seeing this, Natsuhiko nodded with a smile. "You guessed it right, Obito. The inspiration for designing this device was the Sharingan's ability to copy Ninjutsu."
"Unfortunately, it failed. My sensing array wasn't detailed enough to record the subtlest changes in chakra, so I couldn't successfully reproduce it."
Seeing that sensei failed, Obito sighed in relief. If Natsuhiko had succeeded, considering the Uchiha Clan's penchant for showing off, it might have caused some trouble for them.
However, considering Natsuhiko's young age, Obito started to worry. What if he hadn't awakened his Sharingan yet, and Natsuhiko had already invented a Ninjutsu copying device?
Unconsciously, Obito's blind faith in the Sharingan weakened once again, and he felt that learning Sealing Jutsu might be more practical.
Then he heard Natsuhiko say, "Although this invention failed, I got these two byproducts. I call them Taijutsu Copying Devices. While they can't copy Ninjutsu, they can perfectly replicate ordinary Taijutsu movements."
At this point, Obito and Might Guy finally understood Natsuhiko's intention, both showing surprise.
"Sensei, do you mean I can directly copy Might Guy's Konoha-Style Taijutsu?"
Obito looked at Might Guy with a gaze that said, "Your Taijutsu is good, but the next moment it will be mine."
"Of course, you have to get Might Guy's consent first," Natsuhiko reminded.
Obito hesitated a bit. After all, this was the Taijutsu that Might Guy had trained so hard for. Was it really okay to copy it effortlessly?
It seemed that he wasn't much like an Uchiha since other Uchiha wouldn't have such concerns.
However, before Obito could say anything, Might Guy suddenly spoke up:
"Sensei, I have no problem!"
"Might Guy!?"
Obito turned to Might Guy in surprise, and even Natsuhiko raised an eyebrow.
Might Guy then raised his thumb, showing a confident smile:
"It's okay. Although these tight clothes can copy my style, they can't replicate the body that I've trained day and night, nor can they copy the Power of Youth that burns fiercely within me at all times!"
"If it helps you, then this trifling style, consider it a gift!"
"Might Guy..."
Obito was moved by this, and his eyes started to redden.
"Obito, if you want to cry, go ahead. A man's tears are prepared for moments like this!"
"Might Guy!"
"Obito!"
"Might Guy!"
"Obito!"
Both of them opened their arms, tightly hugging each other, and began to weep bitter tears.
Completed, Obito was infected with a virus.
It's also uncertain whether Old Man Madara will still accept such defective products in future or not.
Natsuhiko witnessed the scene of the two people holding their heads and crying. He silently took two steps back and said,
"Alright, if you want to cry, do it after the training. For now, change into these two clothes for me."
Natsuhiko distinguished the two tight clothes, then handed them to Obito and Guy respectively.
"This one is yours, Obito, and this one's for you, Guy. Remember to wear them close to your body, there should be no clothing beneath them... including underwear. Otherwise, if any part of your body gets burned, it's not my problem."
Natsuhiko's words made both of them tense up. Suddenly, the mood for crying disappeared, and they awkwardly took the clothes and walked to the nearby restroom to change.
After a moment, the two returned to the training stadium in their changed clothes.
Obito hugged his chest, looking uncomfortable as he followed Guy.
It was Obito's first time wearing tight clothes, and he didn't know if it was an issue with Sensei's clothes or if all tight clothes felt like you weren't wearing anything. This made him give a strange look to the Might Guy in front of him.
Was this the usual feeling for Guy? Wasn't this more than just abnormal?
However, Guy, who had been dressed in baby tight clothes by his father since birth, knew that not all tight clothes were like this – feeling like you were not wearing anything! At least, the high-end tight clothes he wore on special occasions did not have such a powerful effect.
This reminded him of the bedtime tight clothes story his father used to tell him in his childhood.
"The Daimyo's Tight Clothes"!
It was said to be the legendary highest realm of tight clothes, where the extreme softness, breathability, and stretchiness made one completely unaware of the existence of tight clothes, and it fused together with the skin.
It was said that the Daimyo was considered abnormal because of this, ultimately leading to the downfall of a country. The cursed tight clothes also disappeared into the river of history.
If he didn't know that there was only one such tight clothes, Guy would have thought that the one he was wearing was the legendary one! And, comparisons are inevitable.
He used to feel very comfortable in his green tight clothes, and compared to his yellow tight clothes, various shortcomings began to stand out.
Guy felt like he had become one with the tight clothes and couldn't go back...
Not long after, the two returned to Natsuhiko.
Obito pointed to his left chest and asked, "Sensei, why do the characters on our clothes differ?"
Both of their tight clothes had a circle on the left chest, with a character written inside.
Guy's was "攻" (Attack), while Obito's was "受" (Receive).
"It's simple. The '攻' on Guy's clothes means he's responsible for demonstrating attacking movements. And the '受' on your clothes, Obito, means you're the one receiving and copying the movements."
Natsuhiko explained seriously.
"So that's how it is."
The two suddenly realised and quickly accepted their roles in attack and defence.
