Chapter 107 Might Guy strikes hard (35)

Five more days passed, and Might Guy still hadn’t found that so-called feeling.

On Wednesday during training, Might Guy, Shisui, and Obito gathered to discuss the cultivation of the Breathing Technique.

“Guy, you can also imagine the feeling of eating ramen, a burst of hot air entering your stomach,” Obito tried to impart his successful experience to Might Guy.

“Guy, just refer to what Obito said, but still follow what Teacher Muzuki taught. Although they are both Breathing Techniques, the difference should still be significant,” Shisui said.

If the two Breathing Techniques were similar, Muzuki would definitely have had them learn one directly; there would be no need for such trouble to cultivate them separately.

“Mm, Teacher Muzuki said that my current progress is normal. Rock Breathing is a bit more difficult than the Breathing Technique you all are cultivating,” Might Guy nodded in response.

His mindset was actually very good; only ten days had passed.

When Might Guy was learning the Clone Technique, he couldn’t produce a clone identical to his main body and capable of action until almost the end of his second year.

That was nearly three years, and he didn’t say he was giving up completely. Ten days was nothing at all.

Even if he hadn’t learned it after a thousand days, as long as Muzuki didn’t tell him to cultivate something else, he would continue to cultivate it. He believed that persistent effort would definitely lead to success.

Because he was the genius of effort acknowledged by Muzuki!

“Hehe, then Guy, you really need to work hard. During the practical exam three days from now, I won’t go easy on you just because your Breathing Technique is a bit harder,” Obito chuckled.

At this point, the summer special training was nearing its end. The training would conclude this Friday, and the final practical test would be held on Saturday.

Even a Breathing Technique that hadn’t been fully mastered could enhance one’s strength. With a lead in the Breathing Technique, Might Guy would definitely not be his opponent.

He wouldn’t need tactics like the ‘camera angle Clone Technique’; he would win purely with hard strength.

“Haha, youth should be about giving it your all in battle!” Might Guy flashed his bright white teeth and gave Obito a thumbs-up.

If Obito were to go easy on him, Might Guy wouldn’t be happy. He believed that fighting with all his strength was what youth was about.

After training ended in the afternoon, Might Guy returned home.

Might Duy saw Might Guy drenched in sweat and laughed heartily, “Guy, you worked hard to get stronger today!”

“Wait for me at home. I’ll go buy some meat to cook for you. You’re at an age where you’re growing, so you can’t skimp on meat.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just buy some cheap vegetables? We probably don’t have much money left at home,” Might Guy couldn’t help but say.

Might Duy was just a Genin, and no one was willing to team up with him. D-Rank missions weren’t always available, so he couldn’t earn much money at all.

Although Might Guy didn’t know the specifics of his father’s work, he knew that their family’s financial situation wasn’t good.

“That’s not something you need to worry about, Guy. You just need to focus on your training,” Might Duy said with a smile, giving Might Guy a thumbs-up.

After speaking, Might Duy left to buy groceries.

Might Guy thought for a moment, then finally followed him.

If they really didn’t have money, he would step in and persuade Might Duy to buy cheaper vegetables.

Might Guy followed Might Duy all the way to the market.

Upon reaching the market, Might Duy headed straight for the butcher’s shop.

“Boss, how much is the meat per catty?” Might Duy asked.

The butcher stood up, looked at Might Duy, and replied, “One hundred ryo per catty.”

Then the butcher picked up his knife and asked, “How many catties do you want?”

Might Duy didn’t say how much he wanted to buy, but instead haggled, “Boss, it’s almost evening, and your meat isn’t fresh anymore. One hundred ryo is too expensive.”

“Then I’ll give you a small discount, ninety-seven ryo per catty,” the butcher said after thinking for a moment.

“Only a three ryo discount is too little. I’ll have to check other shops then,” Might Duy made to leave.

“Alright, alright, I’ll give you another discount. Ninety-three ryo per catty, is that acceptable?” The butcher quickly stopped him.

“Eighty ryo per catty,” Might Duy shook his head and said.

“A twenty ryo discount at once? You’re haggling too hard,” the butcher showed an unwilling expression.

Might Duy immediately turned and again made to leave.

“Alright, alright, eighty ryo per catty it is. I can’t go any lower, or I’ll lose money,” the butcher stopped him again.

“Alright then, give me forty ryo worth of meat,” Might Duy said with a triumphant smile.

“Only forty ryo worth?” The butcher’s chopping motion paused.

“I’ve never seen a Ninja as stingy and good at haggling as you,” the butcher couldn’t help but complain, noting that Ninjas, with their high activity levels, generally ate more than ordinary people and usually bought at least a few catties.

“Thanks for the compliment!” Might Duy gave the butcher a thumbs-up and smiled.

“A perpetual Genin is just a perpetual Genin. He wastes so much time buying meat and only wants forty ryo worth,” two Ninjas passing by said with disdain upon witnessing the scene.

“A Ninja like him, I doubt anyone would be willing to entrust missions to him,” one of the tall, thin Ninjas chuckled.

“It’s bad enough that he’s terrible at Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu, but his behavior is also so strange. If I were a client, I wouldn’t entrust a mission to someone like him,” the other, fatter Ninja nodded.

Facing the two’s contempt, Might Duy just smiled, gave them a thumbs-up, and then headed home; he still had to cook for his son.

Might Duy was unconcerned, but Might Guy, who had been hiding, was already starting to get angry.

He recalled three years ago, when Might Duy took him to the street and was similarly ridiculed. That time, an angry Might Guy directly followed them, wanting to stand up for his father, but his strength wasn’t enough, and he got beaten instead. It was Kakashi passing by who saved him.

Facing such a situation again, Might Guy didn’t know if he could defeat those two official Ninjas, nor did he know if Kakashi would appear again, but he knew he absolutely had to act.

Because of the forty ryo worth of meat Might Duy bought, Might Duy himself would definitely not eat a single bite and would let Might Guy eat it all.

How could Might Guy tolerate others despising and insulting the father who had raised him like this?

Might Guy followed the two Ninjas who had mocked Might Duy out of the market and onto a street.

“Three phrases,” Might Guy said to the two Ninjas with a cold face.

The tall, thin Ninja turned back in confusion, saw Might Guy, who was wearing the same style of tights as Might Duy, and said:

“Kid, what’s with ‘three phrases’? You two really are father and son; you’re both quite strange.”

“This kid seems to be at the Ninja Academy, and he seems to be a dead last,” the slightly plump Ninja said with a laugh.

“Isn’t that a perfect match? A perpetual Genin and a dead-last son.” The two burst into laughter.

“I’ve set a rule for myself: if someone curses my father, I must return five punches to them. You two just added two more phrases, so now it’s five phrases,” Might Guy said, holding up five fingers.

“Brat, get lost while I’m in a good mood. Five punches for one phrase? Do you have the strength for that?” The tall, thin Ninja said with disdain.

An ungraduated brat actually dared to speak so arrogantly to them, official Ninjas.

Might Guy chose to answer the question with his feet.

Not forcibly attracting hatred, similar things happened in the original work
