"Ahhh! My youth is burning again!"
In the makeshift camp, a middle-aged man wearing strange green tights and a scruffy beard sat cross-legged in an open space. There was no one within a dozen meters around him.
He grabbed the low-quality food and stuffed it into his mouth, making embarrassing, foot-picking noises.
The other ninjas stayed away and looked at him with disgust from time to time.
Might Duy, the eternal Genin, a legendary figure of the southeast camp.
His strength has long surpassed the limits of Genin, but for well-known reasons, he has never been promoted.
Compared to his status as a Genin and his strange words, the most troubling thing is his attribute of pitting teammates.
He only knows how to fight with Taijutsu, and he always chooses to get close to the enemy in every battle.
In addition, his brain is not very smart, so the following situations often occur: When his teammates find the right moment, they dodge while he screams and blocks the trajectory of the attack, taking the damage from his teammates for the enemy…
His teammates threw kunai, but he continued to scream and block the trajectory. The kunai pierced his thigh directly…
His teammates were fighting with the enemy, and he passionately stepped forward to help. As a result, due to excessive excitement, he kicked his teammate in the face…
When his teammates were performing hand seals, he suddenly heard a loud roar beside him for unknown reasons. His teammates trembled all over and forgot the hand seals they were going to perform next…
Teammate uses a shuriken…
Teammate…
Teammate: Why don't you just go to the other side?
As time went by, everyone avoided Might Duy like the plague. Not to mention teaming up with him, even if Might Duy's team appeared not far away, everyone would tremble in their hearts…
So when Shiratori held his waist and walked towards Might Duy, everyone looked like they were watching a show.
"Tsk tsk, here comes another one who is not afraid of death…"
"He's still a child, what a pity…"
"Did someone cheat me?"
Shiratori stopped behind Might Duy and felt his sleeve being pulled.
Asuma, who came along, made faces as if to say, don't blame me for not reminding you, this isn't a good choice.
Might Duy looked back as if he realized something, then jumped up in surprise.
"Hey? Little Asuma, are you on the frontline too? This kid is…"
"Hello, Uncle Duy." Asuma forced a smile and introduced Shiratori to Might Duy.
What Uchiha genius, what lucky victory, what luck to become a Chunin…
Shiratori tilted his head slightly and looked at Asuma, his face expressionless.
If you feel reluctant to praise me, you can actually keep silent…
"Oh! So he's such a great genius? Just hearing the description makes my blood boil! I will definitely work harder, and one day, I will catch up with Shiratori-senpai!"
Might Duy gave a thumbs up, and the dazzling sunlight reflected on his white teeth.
Shiratori: "…"
How shameful!
"Hey, those two brats over there—" Someone couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to remind them: "Do you know what you are doing? Are you inviting this idiot? He will hurt you!"
It's not that no one has invited Might Duy because his ability is really good.
Torifu Akimichi once commented on him: if he wasn't so bad in other aspects, he should have a chance to become a Jōnin specializing in Taijutsu.
Because of this evaluation, many people invited Might Duy to join the team with the mentality of picking up a bargain, and then… Nothing happened.
This is too bad! I have to guard against the enemy and him at the same time!
As the first person stood up, the surroundings suddenly became lively. Everyone was so angry, and all the weird things that Might Duy had done were heard by Shiratori one after another.
Shiratori was a little confused, even a little panicked - these things sounded too scary!
Was I being a little impulsive this time?
Might Duy clenched his fists and looked at everyone with a strange look.
Perhaps because the gaze was too oppressive, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Then…
"Sorry!"
Might Duy bowed 90 degrees and almost hit Shiratori's head.
Faced with everyone's condemnation and questioning, he chose to apologize sincerely, made various assurances tirelessly, and even seemed a little humble.
But the crowd didn't buy it. After they realized that Shiratori had no intention of giving up the invitation, they all turned around and stopped caring about this matter.
It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words! You little ghost, just wish yourself good luck.
Shiratori finally decided to invite Might Duy, even if it was more for the sake of the future Might Guy.
When it comes to Might Guy…
Might Duy, who had been depressed along the way, was instantly revived and began to praise his beloved son to Shiratori, saying that his son was a genius who could rival Kakashi… Of course, now there has to be another Shiratori.
And Shiratori was also very considerate and gave extremely high praise to Might Guy, whom he had never met before, and it was completely sincere.
No family, no Kekkei Genkai, no talent for ninjutsu…
However, he's Madara certified, who represented the highest peak of the Shinobi World's Taijutsu!
Through Might Duy's excited boasting, Shiratori also understood some things that he didn't understand before, such as Might Duy's physical condition.
When Shiratori first saw this man, he was shocked because the man in front of him looked pale and thin.
Might Duy was thin, his face was sallow, and he showed some signs of malnutrition, which was hard to imagine for a ninja who specialized in Taijutsu.
This happened because this ordinary father gave everything he had and invested it all in his son.
The body is the foundation of Taijutsu, and physical ninjas need to lay a solid foundation in their childhood. When Might Duy was young, his family was poor, he was hungry, and he did not take in enough nutrition, which led to his poor physical development, and his strength was only mediocre.
He didn't want the same thing to happen to his son.
But he was just a Genin, and on weekdays he could only take on some hard labor, find lost items and other tasks. The remuneration was very low, and it was difficult to support Guy's growing appetite.
Especially after he obtained the Eight Inner Gates by coincidence.
The practice of Eight Inner Gates is very harmful to the body. In addition to high-nutrition food, you also have to buy a lot of medicine…
So Might Duy could only work very hard on the mission, almost day and night, without even time to practice. He left all the food to his son, could only eat some leftovers secretly, and had to pretend to be full.
Over time, Might Duy's strength did not increase; instead, it showed a downward trend.
After hearing these words, Shiratori and Asuma were silent, but Might Duy still had an optimistic and cheerful smile on his face, and he didn't care.
Maybe this is the father's love...
"Uncle Duy… "
Shiratori suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "From now on, I will take care of your meals."
"Ah? No, no need!"
When Might Duy heard this, he tripped and almost fell and quickly refused.
"You will become my subordinate, as it should be; it's settled." Shiratori waved his hand, not giving the other party a chance to refuse.
Might Duy opened his mouth, feeling deeply touched, but then his face turned red.
"That..."
"What's wrong?"
"Can I… Can I… Give this opportunity to Guy? I know this is a bit too much, but… Just… "
Shiratori was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay."
"Thank you very much. I—"
"Then I… Our Uchiha Clan will take care of you and your son's meals."
Looking at Might Duy's dazed expression, Shiratori smiled and quickened his pace.
Anyway, I didn't spend the money, my old man is rich! It's okay, eat as much as you want!
From now on, we will eat the best food and use the best medicine, and even some of the Taijutsu recorded in the Uchiha Clan will be available for you and your son to browse at will.
Old man, don't blame me for making the decision on my own… This investment is a sure win!
No, it's a big profit!
His son was the one who almost kicked our resurrected ancestor to death!
