("I'll keep this village safe enough and nurture you until it's time for you to take this hat of mine…Kakashi Hatake.")
The following day, waking up at the crack of dawn, Alexander freshened up, cleaned his apartment, made and ate breakfast before stretching and getting straight to work.
Wearing a navy blue tracksuit he found in Kakashi's closet, Alexander made his way to Guy's apartment.
Knock!!!!!!! Knock!!!!!! Knock!!!!!!! Knock!!!!!
"Guy-chan, are you ready?" Asked Alexander when Guy opened the door.
"Hai, Ka-kashi, I'll be ready in 5 minutes, my rival." Guy then slammed the door in Alexander's face and got ready. 5 Minutes later the two were out jogging on the outskirts of the village.
"Alright, Ka-Kakashi, the first to finish 500 laps around the village will pay for the meal after our workout."
"Alright Guy, let's get to it." Smiled Alexander before racing off.
"Hey, I didn't say start…This is very youthful of you Ka-kashi."
Alexander and Guy proceeded to run circles around the village for 2 hours straight. Alexander leg's felt like noodles but he knew if he wanted to gain strength this was the way to do it so he pressed on. Long story short Alexander even lost his head start. By the end of the race, his newfound respect for Guy's ability was beyond comprehension.
Alexander followed Guy's lead then proceeded to do a plethora of calisthenic exercises for the next 2 hours. 200 pushups, 200 handstand pushups, 200 crunches, 200 Leg raises, and a 10-minute plank.
"You do this every waking day…Guy?" Huffed Alexander, if his legs had previously felt like noodles from the 500-lap race against Guy, Alexander's arms felt like jello now.
"Yes Ka-kashi, it's mandatory for me to do these warmups for my '8 Gates Technique."
"wARm uPs?" Cried out, Alexander.
"What The Fuck Is He Talking About, No wonder he could beat a 10-tailed amped Madara Uchiha, this guy is superhuman, no he's more than superhuman he's on a completely different level.
Even from Alexander's little peak at Kakashi's anbu training memories, Kakashi never trained this hard.
"But I do need to get stronger…" Sighed Alexander.
"What's next, Guy?"
"Well Ka-kashi this would be where my warmup usually ends, but since you're here and already tired I propose we do something different." Grinned Guy.
Raising his eyebrow Alexander asked. "And what is that?"
Dropping down in a criss-cross position Guy reached down to his feet. Guy grabbed the orange cloth covering his green pajamas, ripped them off, and showed off his weights. Memories of Alexander's past life flashed into his mind, specifically the famous 'Gaara vs Rock Lee" fight. That fight was why he started watching 'Naruto' in the first place.
(Click) (Click)
With the sound of two clicks both weights came off of Guy's Legs. Guy then proceeded to lay them on the ground on top of each other like they were laundry clothes.
Alexander reached for the weight on top and with one hand tried to lift it with no success.
"Wow…how much do these weigh…" Asked Alexander pointing to the weights.
'Oh… about 200 pounds." Said Guy.
Alexander's face soured as he knew what activity was about to take place. Standing up, Guy began stretching.
"Alright, Ka-kashi warm-ups over it's time for our much-anticipated spar my rival." Guy had finished stretching his legs and had walked about 15 feet away from Alexander and got into his stance, feet spread, body turned slightly to the right, hips lowered, and left hand behind the back right hand in front as if saying "Come."
Alexander took a deep breath and concentrated. Getting into an insider boxer stance (something he learned in his previous life), Alexander churned his chakra and spread it inside his body, particularly concentrating it in his fists and feet.
"That's new…" Thought Guy an eyebrow raised.
"Let's go Ka-kashi…" Shouted Guy.
"Hai." Shouted Alexander
The two then rushed at each other and their beautiful dance of fists and kicks began.
'Leaf hurricane.' Guy opened the battle with a high-speed kick in the air zooming toward Alexander's head. The kick's wind breezed over Alexander's head as he crouched to dodge.
"Holy fuck!!!! Thought Alexander that kick was fast, which I expect-" Before Alexander could finish his thought another Leg came swinging aimed at his body this time. Kakashi's reflex from constantly fighting Guy saved Alexander though as he got into a defensive stance and blocked the second kick.
Guy's kick rag-dolled Kakashi 10 feet back with sheer strength. Getting up Alexander noticed his tracksuit sleeves blown away and a large red mark was on his forearms. Pain shot through his arms as they shook.
Gasping a bit Alexander looked back up at Guy. "He's not only fast but those kicks have strength in them beyond superhuman, Guy is a god-damn monster."
"What's wrong my rival…I hope that's not enough to put you down." Guy shifted his body and got back in his stance.
Alexander got back up, ripping off his tracksuit and getting back to his insider boxer stance.
"He's got his weights off and has shown the ability to blitz me. Even with using Kakashi's memories, implementing Kakashi's experience in battle, and chakra usage is still a challenge. I've only been in this body for a little over 24 hours."
"Focusing chakra on my hands and fists it's the right move. I need to flood my entire body with chakra and try to match his speed, from then on I'll let Kakashi's battle experience and my boxing knowledge lead me to victory."
Alexander then did just that by recirculating the concentrated chakra in his feet and hands into his body, amplifying it beyond imagination.
"You know Ka-kashi…since I took off my weights… I'll be honest and say that I'll be too much for you…use your Sharingan. I'll wait for you."
"Sharingan? The sharingan is a weapon for killing Guy…I won't use it so willingly…besides If I can't beat you without the Sharingan…It says more about my ability than yours."
"...we wouldn't be rivals after all." Grinned Alexander as he rushed forward towards Guy.
"Very well." Grinned Guy back, rushing towards Alexander.
Guy entered the battle with another 'Leaf Hurricane," but this time Alexander countered it. The massive amount of chakra circulating his body boosted his senses to the point where he could perceive Guy's attacks effortlessly. Alexander parried Guy's right leg, once touching the ground Guy used his left leg for a roundhouse kick, Alexander was ready though as he grabbed Guy's leg flinging him across the training ground and rushing after him.
"Now, my chance."
"Not a bad move…but he's also on my tail," Thought Guy.
"He's in mid.."
"Dodge this, Guy." Taunted Alexander. Zooming in with an ax kick.
Guy, seeing his predicament, threw his arms down to the ground, completing a handstand. Guy then sprang off the ground with his hand, spun in mid-air, and matched Alexander's ax kick with a sidekick. Once countering each other the two fell to the ground and shot back at each other. Punches, elbows, and knees flew at each other's vital spots but proceeded to be countered.
Alexander threw a feint which Guy mistakenly dodged. Empowering his right leg with extra chakra, Alexander dropped Guy to the ground with a calf kick.
Concentrating Chakra in his right fist, Alexander heaved back his hand and threw it at the fallen Guy.
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!)
The ground caved in and dust flew everywhere, but the most important thing was Alexander didn't feel contact with human flesh. Looking around Alexander saw nothing but dust.
"Shit…I can't find Guy." Panicked Alexander.
"Should I use my Sharin-"
"The Gate Of Life, Open!!!" The voice of Guy permeated behind Alexander.
The dust around the area dispersed showing a version of Guy different from the one before. Green aura surrounded Guy, his skin had turned a shade pink, his pupils were gone, and his veins popped were showing across his body.
"That's actually…quite terrifying." Thought Alexander.
"This is the power of the 8 gates…that power looks even more enticing than in the show."
"I'll definitely get Guy to teach me it…but for now I'm facing that same power." Gulped Alexander.
Guy was standing still, his green aura stilling the air around him, but his gaze locked in on Alexander.
"Do you forfeit my rival…" Asked Guy.
"Forfeit?" Scoffed Alexander.
"Why would I ever do that?" Alexander poured even more chakra into body, this time specifically in his right eye.
"I might be able to perceive him still based on the chakra I put in my non-sharingan eye."
Alexander then shifted his defensive stance. "Alright Bring It ON!!!"
A smile appeared on Guy's face. "The Gate of Pain, Open."
"Huh…."
"The 4th Gate?" Thought Alexander.
"Here I come, my rival!!!" Shouted Guy disappearing into thin air. Guy then proceeded to appear in front Alexander fist coated with green energy cocked back.
"...shit" Through Alexander
"Boom!!!" Everything went black.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
"HUUUUUUUUUH!!!" With a gasp Alexander was conscious again.
"...What happened…" Slurred Alexander rubbing his head.
"I think I expressed too much of my youth." Chuckled Guy.
"Oh…right…the 4th gate." sighed Alexander.
"A-Are you alright Ka-kashi…I didn't mean to hurt you." Worried Guy.
"No, no, no, Guy."
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect that level of power from you." Said Alexander getting up and rubbing the dirt out of his hair.
"Honestly…that spar has done nothing…but motivated me to grow stronger." Alexander clenched his fist.
Feigning Ignorance Alexander said. "I didn't realize how much power you have at your disposal."
"I'm happy that your flames of youth have not been doused, Ka-kashi." Said Guy hands on his hips and a fantastical aura oozing off of him.
"Tell you what…you can have my training weights."
"Really?" Gasped Alexander.
"He'd really give me his training weights." Thought Alexander.
"The version of Kakashi, Guy knew at this point was much more of an asshole."
"I'm surprised he'd let me take his weights. He really is a great Guy, and an amazing friend."
Alexander's opinion on Guy rose exponentially. Guy had always been a favorite character of his but actually interacting with the man only made him more likable, and surprisingly human.
"Thank's Guy." Said Alexander, giving Guy a hug.
"..."
"You're welcome...I'd do anything for my rival and friend." replied Guy, reciprocating the hug.
"Now, how about that meal?" Grinned Guy.
Kakashi and Guy proceed to walk towards Yakiniku Q restaurant enjoying their breakfast of steak, bread, and tea. Guy was especially enjoying his time as he didn't have to pay a single Ryo. After their breakfast the two split off as Guy went on to do missions and Alexander went back to his apartment. On the way towards his home, something caught his attention. The murmurs and rumors the konoha populous was spouting sent a shiver down his spine.
"Did you hear? The village has a new Jinchuriki?"
"Jinchuriki? I thought Lord Fourth killed Kyuubi."
"No…Lord fourth didn't kill the beast. He sealed it into a newborn. Rumor is the boy's name is Naruto Uzumaki."
"Lord fourth sealed the 9 tailed beast into a little boy?"
"There's no way that seal holds, we need to take care of it before the nine tails are freed again."
"Yess…that's a great idea."
"FUCK." Alexander grit his teeth.
"Danzo's already being an annoying geezer."
"Naruto hasn't even been alive for a week." Alexander shook his head in frustration.
"When I get my hands on the old fuck…I'm going to chidori so many holes in him he'll look like Spongebob."
With that Alexander's spirit and determination was back at an all time high. Going back to his apartment, Alexander got to work. Going through his memories Alexander wrote down everything Kakashi knew.

Caught up to date with Kakashi's abilities. Alexander created a training plan that'd maximize the entirety of the week he had and get back up to Kakashi's ability, along with an extra form of training in fuinjutsu in order to master a seal or create one that'd handle his sharingan problem.
Once Alexander finished writing his training plan he killed he created a shadow clone that opened a drawer and unsealed the scrolls he'd found in the Hatake compound. The clone grabbed the silver scroll that contained beginner information on sealing and got to training. Meanwhile Alexander was busy trying to solve a mystery.
Grabbing the scroll named "Hatake secret techniques." Alexander opened the scroll again and inspected it some more.
"A blank scroll…huh." Alexander scratched his cloth-covered chin in contemplation.
"There's obviously a code of some sort I'm supposed to crack here."
"A blank scroll…this reminds me of the dragon warrior scroll from Kung Fu Panda."
"Except the Dragon Warrior scroll actually had no real secret in the scroll, the scroll was supposed to reflect one's self and be a form of acceptance."
"However I don't believe that's the case here."
"Kaaiiiiiii."
"..."
"No genjutsu….the scroll is still empty." sighed Alexander.
Taking the scroll Alexander placed it under the sun's light, hoping for a breakthrough though that didn't occur. Alexander then used his 'Chakra Sensing Technique,' but nothing out of the ordinary showed up on the scroll. Using 'Chakra Flow,' Alexander imbued the scroll with his chakra hoping for some change, but it never came.
"Shit." Screamed Alexander, slamming his head on the desk.
"What could be the code?" huffed a frustrated Alexander.
Picking his head up something caught Alexander's attention as several Inches above him on the wall was the sheath and Nagashi of the 'White Fang.' Alexander stood up and unsheathed the sword and to his surprise the sword was cut in half, although with a quick scan on Kakashi's memories, and his own memories from 'Naruto,' the anime he remembered exactly what happened to the blade, and why it was so important to Kakashi.
The nagashi Alexander held in his hands belonged to one of the most famous ninjas in the history of Konoha, the 'White Fang.' Sakumo Hatake being the 'White Fang,' and Kakashi's biological father and a famous and powerful ninja of Konohagakure said to be above even the 'Three Legendary Sanin."
While Kakashi was still in the academy, Sakumo Hatake ended up taking his own life after facing a barrage of scrutiny & shame from the village, ending his life with the weapon that brought him his strength and title, the same weapon Alexander held his hands at this very moment and the same weapon Kakashi had gone to use & destroy during the 'Third Great Ninja War.' Regardless of the sword being damaged heavily Kakashi proceeded not to fix the weapon and instead use it as an heirloom to his father and a reminder of his time in war.
"This is a weapon that's been wielded by 2 S-rank ninja's. It's a shame Kakashi never used it after breaking it, as he's extremely proficient in Kenjutsu. Alexander ran his hands across the weapon, feeling the grip of the handle, the sturdiness of the hilt, the calligraphy on the ridge line reading, 'White Fang.'
"Taaaapppppppp!!!!" "Taaaapppppppp!!!!" "Taaaapppppppp!!!!"
"Slice." "AHHHHH!!!!!!" Alexander grimaced, looking at the blood pouring from his thumb.
Looking towards where the tapping sound came from Alexander saw an anbu agent outside the window.
Quickly grabbing a rag, Alexander smothered his bloody hand and walked over to the window opening it.
"Yes?'
"Lord Hokage has called for you, be there in 5 minutes." Came the low, muffled, and even boring voice of the Anbu disappearing in a pile of leaves.
"Hiruzen want me?" Sighed Alexander.
Looking at his bloody rag Alexander went to the bathroom and cleaned the wound, wrapped his hand with training paper. Alexander went to clean the blood spilt on his work desk when he found something amazing.
"Huh…I've attended to my wound."
"I'll clean my desk before heading to Hiruz-" Before he could finish his sentence Alexander saw something different containing the scroll. The blood that had covered the scroll by accident had caused a change.
Alexander picked up and scrolled and wiped off the remaining blood, and read it out loud.
"Hatake Sword Techniques." Grinned Alexander.
