Just as Uchiha Hikaru anticipated, Uchiha Hui was out jogging around the village to improve his physical fitness when he suddenly encountered a distraction.
"You need to run faster! That's the spirit of youth!"
The voice came from behind Uchiha Hui. By the time he turned around, the speaker had already sprinted past him, kicking up dust, and quickly disappeared ahead.
The person in question wore a green outfit and had a distinctive hairstyle, with thick eyebrows and a bright smile. Despite never having spoken to him before, Uchiha Hui immediately recognized him as Might Guy.
Guy, renowned for his exceptional physical prowess, had a reputation for his incredible training regimen. Though he was only a Chunin at the moment, his physical abilities were remarkable, with a reputation for running dozens of laps around the village with ease.
Guy was indeed a ninja, as Uchiha Hui knew from his attire, but also from his self-assertion.
"So if you want to keep up with me, you'll have to match my pace!" Guy's voice echoed from behind as he continued to run, constantly overtaking Uchiha Hui.
Two months ago, Uchiha Hui could only manage a single lap, but he had improved significantly since then. He could now complete three laps, a feat that even some skilled ninjas his age would find challenging.
Despite Guy's frequent interruptions and advice, Uchiha Hui maintained his steady pace. It was clear that Guy's standards were far beyond his own current abilities.
After Guy passed him for the seventeenth time, he started running on his hands and, while upside down, shouted to Uchiha Hui, "You should be focusing on physical training! This pace won't get you far!"
With Guy moving slowly on his hands, Uchiha Hui finally had a chance to catch his breath. He responded while jogging, "Please don't judge me by your standards. I'm only five years old."
Uchiha Hui knew that Guy's training at a young age was exceptional—Guy could run a hundred laps around the playground even before starting the ninja academy, and his training was already intense. Still, Hui understood that his own progress needed to be gradual.
"Five years old?" Guy paused, then flipped back to his normal standing position with ease. "When I was five, I wasn't training at this slow pace. I'd be doing something more intense."
Guy demonstrated a series of fluid, fast kicks, performing the Konoha Whirlwind technique with impressive skill.
"Can you show me that move again?" Uchiha Hui asked, suddenly inspired.
Guy performed the Konoha Whirlwind again, and as he did, Uchiha Hui activated his Sharingan, which allowed him to observe the technique with remarkable clarity.
Guy, unaware of Hui's observation, continued his training. Hui had copied the Konoha Whirlwind technique and could now analyze its details.
Hui realized that with his advanced Sharingan, he might be able to replicate other physical techniques at a high level. He felt a small sense of satisfaction but quickly masked it.
"Can you demonstrate all the physical techniques you know?" Hui asked.
Guy, puzzled, tilted his head and replied, "Huh? Why?"
