Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Sasuke, we're here!"

When Naruto saw Sasuke in the distance, he couldn't help but shout out again.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke, who was practicing his throwing technique, still maintained his expressionless face, but his eyes lit up slightly.

However, when he turned his head to look at him, his expression froze slightly.

He immediately noticed Bai Yunqingye and several girls chatting and laughing leisurely, which made him inexplicably unhappy.

This is certainly not a feeling of jealousy or anything like that.

He had long regarded Baiyun Qingye as his biggest imaginary enemy at this stage.

He trains tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day to improve his skills, all in order to defeat his opponent.

Sasuke was suddenly surprised to find that the other party was unambitious. He was annoyed that Shirokumo Aoba was wasting his talent.

Of course, this was just something he made up in his own mind.

He had to remind Bai Yunqingye; it was his duty. Otherwise, even if he won against her in the future, it would be meaningless.

"Baiyun Qingye, I challenge you!"

"?"

In the end, Shirakumo Aoba could only introduce the lying Sasuke to Tenten and the others.

This caused Sasuke to blush and stammer, unable to speak.

Everyone burst into laughter, filling the room with a joyful atmosphere.

"Hmph! Bai Yun Qingye, you just wait and see, one day I will definitely surpass you!"

Sasuke got up from the ground, uttered some harsh words, and then went back to practicing his shuriken skills.

When the group first saw Sasuke challenge Shirakumo Aoba, they thought he must be very strong, but now it seems he's a bit of a surprise.

"Hmph, Sasuke, if you want to defeat Aoba, you'll have to get past me first!"

"You're no match for me!"

Naruto ran over and started arguing with Sasuke.

"Aoba, what game should we play?"

Tian Tian and the others looked at Bai Yun and Qing Ye with expectant expressions.

……

The end result was that everyone did their own thing.

Shirokumo Aoba was instructing Tenten on the techniques of throwing shuriken, with Sasuke listening in the background.

Ino and Hinata were experimenting with flower arranging and pressed flowers using flowers they picked from the riverbank, and every now and then they would take their finished works to Shirakumo Aoba and ask for praise.

Sakura, meanwhile, was studying the books she received from Tsunade very attentively, and whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask Shirakumo Aoba for help.

Naruto was enjoying his youth by the river. This was what Shirakumo Aoba told him: if he wanted to quickly surpass Sasuke, the best way now was to train his body.

It's truly a harmonious and beautiful scene.

Until a strange man covered in green appeared.

The man leaped into the air, performed a 360-degree Thomas spin, and landed in front of Naruto, tears streaming down his face. He gave Naruto a thumbs-up.

"Young man, I acknowledge your youth."

In the sunlight, his white teeth gleamed with a dazzling light.

……

……

Chapter 52 Burning Youth

Matt Kai had actually been waiting here for a while.

He rushed over as soon as he heard the Third Hokage say he had found a disciple who was very suitable for him.

Then he hid in the grove, exercising while observing Naruto.

Watching Naruto do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats in a continuous cycle, Might Guy felt his youthful spirit being completely ignited.

This is not just his disciple!

This is youth burning brightly!

The sweat shed is the glory of youth!

Matt Kai jumped out immediately.

"Wow, so handsome!"

Watching Might Guy's mid-air spin, Naruto instinctively let out a sigh of admiration.

This caught Might Guy off guard; he had never received such praise before.

Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed like a burst dam.

"Young man, what's your name?"

Because he left in a hurry, Might Guy didn't even know Naruto's name or identity.

"Naruto, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, who are you, sir?"

Naruto raised his hand and shouted.

"My name is Might Guy, the proud blue beast of Konoha, Mad Guy!"

Might Guy made a very strange gesture, which left Baiyun Qingye and the others watching behind him dumbfounded.

Naruto was stunned.

"Very well, Naruto, tell me, why do you want to become stronger?"

Might Guy's expression suddenly changed from his playful look to a serious one, and he looked at Naruto with great seriousness.

For some reason, Naruto suddenly became nervous, and he subconsciously felt that this problem was quite important.

In the past, he would have answered that he wanted to become Hokage and gain everyone's approval.

But one day, someone told him that there was no need to strive for the approval of unrelated people.

Two thoughts seemed to be fighting in his brain.

He felt his brain was shaking!

Might Guy also saw the confusion in Naruto's eyes. He wasn't surprised; children this age are often confused, which is why they need teachers to guide them.

Might Guy placed his hand on Naruto's hair, and Naruto snapped out of his daze and looked up at him.

"If you feel lost, why not think about what you most want to do right now?"

What's the thing you most want to do right now?

Naruto thought for a moment and then said seriously.

"I will defeat Sasuke and then protect Aoba!"

Upon hearing this, the strongest reaction came not from Might Guy, but from Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata.

Their eyes were now filled with intense wariness as they looked at Naruto, and they moved closer to Shirokumo Aoba, surrounding him.

Beware of Konoha Nantong!

Aoba (Kimi) has enough protection from them!

Might Guy also laughed and patted Naruto's head approvingly.

"Haha, young man, it seems you have found the true meaning of becoming strong. True strength is not about defeating the strong, but about protecting what is most important to you."

"However, having rivals is equally important. With rivals, you can be motivated to become stronger. I also have a rival who is also my best friend."

"He is a true genius. In order to defeat him, I am training in an extremely powerful physical technique. Would you like to train with me?"

Might Guy invited Naruto to team up.

Naruto's expression turned curious.

"Uncle, are you very strong? Sasuke is very powerful."

"Of course, I am one of the few taijutsu jonin in Konoha. Compared to youth, I will not lose to anyone!"

Matt Kai flashed a bright white smile once again.

"Amazing!"

Naruto's eyes lit up slightly, but he still looked at Shirokumo Aoba behind him.

It seems to be asking for the other party's opinion.

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Might Guy who had suddenly appeared, and then thought of what Naruto had said about not being able to learn ninjutsu.

I had already guessed that this might be Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement.

He nodded, indicating that Naruto had agreed. Moreover, Might Guy was not weak either, and was already one of the top Jonin in Konoha.

Upon seeing Shirokumo Aoba's response, Naruto's eyes immediately became incredibly sincere.

"Uncle Kai, I want to learn martial arts!"

"Haha, alright, from now on I'll teach you properly, let's defeat our opponent together!"

Might Guy was equally pleased and didn't care that the other person was asking about other people's behavior. He liked children with perseverance the most, so he was quite satisfied with Naruto.

I must properly thank the Third Generation Elder.

"Young men! It seems I'll be keeping you here for a while!"

Might Guy said this to Shirokumo Aoba and the others.

The group nodded quickly, indicating that there was no problem.

"Then Naruto, keep up with me and let me see your limits!"

"Understood, Uncle Kai!"
