Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

boom--

"3001!"

Naruto's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

"Li...Li! What are you doing! Do you really want to kill me?!"

Rock Lee chuckled: "Of course, it's to respond to Naruto's efforts and passion, and continue to burn with youthful energy!"

"No... no!"

Rock Lee kicked out again.

"3002!"

"How about that, Naruto? I kicked you one more time than you again!"

"It's your turn!"

Naruto's gaze towards Rock Lee held a beauty that seemed to defy all odds.

"But, damn it!"

He could only clench his fists and kick out twice more.

"3002!"

"3003!"

Rock Lee: "Oh! As expected of Naruto!"

"3003!"

"3004!"

"Aaaaaah! Stop kicking me!"

Naruto covered his head and frantically pulled at his hair, to the point of hysteria.

"3004!"

"3005!"

Rock Lee was about to continue the chase when Naruto couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Rock Lee's leg with a thud.

"Li! Li! Spare my life!"

Rock Lee scratched his head: "What do you mean, Naruto?"

Of course, Naruto couldn't tell him his troubles.

They could only rack their brains and desperately come up with excuses.

"Ah, well... the outcome can't be decided in a short time, let's leave it for the later matches!"

Lee Rock's eyes lit up.

"Well said, Naruto!"

"So-called spiritual practice is a marathon, not a sprint!"

"Let's move on to the next phase right away..."

"Struck the wooden stake 4000 times!"

Naruto shakily extended his thumb.

"well……"

"Thank you so much, Li!"

Chapter 15 Might Guy's Approval! Burn, Youth!

Naruto has burned out.

It turned into snow-white ash.

After striking the wooden stake 4000 times, he felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.

It's like a puppet in the hands of a puppeteer.

However, Naruto learned his lesson this time.

He deliberately didn't announce how many times he hit the target.

When Rock Lee completed 4000 repetitions, he deliberately did one more without being noticed.

This way, it avoids the hot-blooded young man Rock Lee from competing with himself again.

"Alright, Naruto, next up is 3000 jump ropes!"

"...Okay, okay..."

……

"Well done, Naruto!"

"Finally, it's 3000 push-ups!"

"...I...I understand..."

However, even Rock Lee has actually reached his limit.

These final 3000 push-ups are simply beyond what they could possibly do at their age.

Even though Rock Lee tried his best, he only managed to do it a little over 2500 times.

As for Naruto, his advantages in stamina and recovery become apparent at this point.

He held on even longer than Rock Lee.

However, it only stopped at around 2600.

The two of them collapsed onto the training ground at the same time.

He was panting heavily, too weak to even speak.

What they didn't know was...

At this very moment, another pair of eyes was staring at the two of them with intense light...

"Naruto, perhaps it's because I trained with you that I actually worked much harder than usual today!"

"Is this the power of camaraderie?!"

Naruto: "...Thank you so much..."

Rock Lee chuckled, panting, "You're welcome! I should be thanking Naruto!"

Naruto was speechless. Clearly, Rock Lee was a straightforward person and couldn't understand the sarcastic tone in his words.

"Oh, right, Naruto, since neither of us has completed the challenge, we can only do as agreed."

"An agreement?!"

Rock Lee smiled broadly and gave a thumbs up.

"Of course, it's walking upside down around the village thirty times!"

Naruto: "...Ah! No!"

A flock of crows flew overhead, cawing loudly.

……

Dusk had fallen.

The last rays of the setting sun slanted across the entire Konoha Village.

On the outer paths, Naruto and Rock Lee were walking upside down around the entire village, completely ignoring the bewildered looks of passersby.

"Hang in there, Naruto! Only 29 laps left!"

Naruto: "...Listen to what you're saying! Is that even human language?!"

He was drenched in sweat, and his arms were trembling, but in order to avoid being electrocuted, he could only grit his teeth and persevere with all his might.

Moreover, at this point, he no longer wanted to give up.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the suffering we've endured be for nothing?!

Just as the two were desperately cultivating.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion came from behind, as if the earth was trembling, and pedestrians cried out in alarm and took cover.

bang bang bang-

Bang bang bang!

A green figure swept past like a whirlwind, nearly blowing up the skirt of a passing girl, who blushed and covered herself up.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Accompanied by bursts of wild laughter, a man dressed in a green training robe, with a large watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows, attacked rapidly from behind, standing upside down!

Naruto and his companion turned around and their expressions changed instantly.

"Ah! Another one with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows!"

Lee Rock exclaimed in shock, "Wow, what a powerful man!"

"To walk upside down and still have such speed and strength is simply unbelievable!"

"So, so handsome!"

Without a doubt, this man with the watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows is none other than...

The Azure Beast of Konoha Village...

Metkai!

He already knew about Rock Lee a long time ago. Back in the Ninja Academy, he had heard rumors that there was a child who looked a lot like him.

From then on, whenever Might Guy finished a mission, he would always keep an eye on Rock Lee's every move, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

However, he never showed up to bother them.

Because he was afraid that he would disrupt Rock Lee's training.

Today, seeing that Rock Lee finally has a training partner, Might Guy is very happy for him and has finally decided to show himself.

Rumbling--

Like a green tornado, Might Guy walks upside down, but his strength and speed are beyond what Naruto and Rock Lee can imagine.

It sped past the two of them in an instant, and the violent shockwave made them both spin wildly.

"Ahhh-"

boom!

Both of them involuntarily fell to the ground.

Matt Kai stopped, turned around and smiled brightly at the two of them, did a handstand, and gave a thumbs up with the other hand.

"Well done, both of you!"

“This is real youth!”

"Sweat it out, burn with youthful passion, and don't let yourself leave any regrets or remorse!"

Naruto fell to the ground and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Matt Kay still did a handstand with one hand, and even turned around with one hand, as if it were a casual stroll.

"me?"

"I am the Azure Beast of Konoha Village, feared throughout the entire ninja world..."

"Metkay!"

Naruto: "...Never heard of it!"

Rock Lee's eyes lit up: "Oh! It's Teacher Might Guy!"
