Chapter Index

    Might Duy and Muzuki walked into the house together.

    “Welcome home, Dad,” Might Guy said, then paused when he saw Might Duy’s appearance as he walked in.

    Might Duy was even greener than green; no, he was wearing a green Chunin vest!

    It was easy to spot because Might Duy usually only wore a green jumpsuit, so the added vest was immediately noticeable.

    “Dad, could that incredibly amazing and youthful thing you mentioned be…” Might Guy’s eyes gradually brightened as he spoke, and his voice became increasingly excited.

    He thought of a possibility, one that made him extremely happy.

    “That’s right, it’s exactly what you’re thinking!” Might Duy said with a hearty laugh.

    Might Duy gave himself a thumbs-up, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth, and cheerfully laughed as he told Might Guy:

    “Now I’m not Konoha’s Genin Might Duy, but Konoha’s Chunin Might Duy!”

    “Dad, you’ve finally been promoted to Chunin! No one can call you a ‘perpetual Genin’ anymore.” Might Guy excitedly rushed forward and hugged Might Duy.

    Might Duy also hugged Might Guy, and both were crying tears of joy, looking extremely emotional.

    Might Guy was happy that no one could call his father a perpetual Genin anymore, while Might Duy was happy that he could give Might Guy more support.

    Obito scratched his head, somewhat unable to comprehend the scene. In Obito’s understanding, a Chunin wasn’t that impressive; Kakashi became a Chunin at six years old.

    However, Obito could still feel that Might Guy and Might Duy, this father-son pair, had a very good relationship.

    Shisui looked at the scene of deep father-son affection and thought of the short blade he carried close to him, but he wasn’t overly envious.

    Kakashi was the one who could best understand the significance of Might Duy becoming a Chunin. He and Might Guy had known each other for a long time. When checking their academy entrance scores, White Fang had already seen Might Guy’s potential and said that Kakashi could be friends with Might Guy, and that Might Guy might even surpass Kakashi in the future.

    So Kakashi knew a bit about Might Guy’s family situation. Unlike his own father, Might Guy’s father, Might Duy, was not a renowned strong Ninja, but merely a disliked perpetual Genin.

    Might Duy himself didn’t care about outsiders’ comments, but Might Guy cared deeply. He wouldn’t allow anyone to slander his father to his face, even going so far as to seek revenge on those Ninja without considering his own strength. If Kakashi hadn’t happened to pass by and deal with those two Ninja that day, Might Guy would definitely have received a severe beating.

    Now that Might Duy had become a Chunin, all talk of him being a perpetual Genin was baseless, and Might Guy’s joy and excitement were imaginable.

    “Guy, you should thank Teacher Muzuki more. This promotion is largely thanks to Teacher Muzuki,” Might Duy said seriously, placing his hand on Might Guy’s shoulder.

    Muzuki’s help to their family was indeed significant. Not to mention introducing him to the Third Hokage and gifting him secret medicines, just as Might Guy’s teacher, Muzuki had already done his utmost in this regard, considering every aspect.

    “Yes, Teacher Muzuki, thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I’m truly grateful!” Might Guy said, tears of excitement flowing again.

    Recalling his acquaintance with Muzuki until now, Might Guy sometimes felt an unreal, dreamlike sensation.

    From Muzuki, Might Guy could truly feel a similar emotion to Might Duy’s, both unconditionally good to him, not seeking anything in return, just happy if he grew.

    But Might Guy hadn’t expected Muzuki to go this far, even helping his father get promoted and shedding the identity of a perpetual Genin.

    This exceeded Might Guy’s expectations. He thought Muzuki had already been good enough to him, teaching him powerful forbidden jutsu like Rock Breathing without reservation, and providing free secret medicines every month to eliminate fatigue and hidden injuries.

    Having done so much, Might Guy naturally had no complaints. In his heart, Muzuki had always been second only to Might Duy.

    But Muzuki’s help in promoting Might Duy this time made Might Guy understand Muzuki’s kindness to him on a deeper level.

    Although Muzuki hadn’t given a gift yet, Might Guy felt he had already received the best birthday present; he felt Muzuki’s heartfelt intention.

    “It’s also because Senior Dai himself is capable; I just did what I could,” Muzuki said with a smile, then took out a handkerchief to wipe away Might Guy’s tears.

    He wouldn’t normally do such a thing, feeling it was a bit much, but at this time and in this atmosphere, it was just right.

    “After all, it’s the omnipotent Sage Muzuki,” Obito chuckled, then pulled out a green jumpsuit and handed it to Might Guy.

    “This is a gift! I specially had this jumpsuit custom-made, and it even has the character ‘Kai’ embroidered on the chest.”

    Might Guy took the jumpsuit and unfolded it. Sure enough, just as Obito said, the character ‘Kai’ was embroidered on the chest.

    “Obito, you have good taste!” Might Guy praised Obito with a thumbs-up. He was very satisfied with Obito’s gift.

    “I thought since you wear jumpsuits every day, Guy, you’d probably like it,” Obito said with a proud smile.

    “This is a drawing I made,” Rin Nohara said with a gentle smile, presenting her gift.

    Might Guy took the drawing and looked at it carefully. The drawing depicted their usual training scene in the forest, including not only Might Guy but also others.

    Might Guy was sweating profusely while lifting a rock to train, Shisui was seriously practicing Fire Release with a large fireball in front of him, while Obito was covering his head and saying something, and Muzuki maintained his two fingers together. The overall composition looked very warm.

    “Haha, it’s drawn so well! Obito’s expression when he gets hit is exactly like usual,” Might Guy said with a laugh.

    “Huh? What getting hit?” Obito curiously leaned in to look, just in time to see the part where he was being hit.

    “How come everyone else is training and only I’m getting hit? Rin, you misunderstand me too much,” Obito said with a pained expression.

    “I felt it would be more interesting that way,” Rin Nohara replied, covering her mouth with a light chuckle.

    Shisui gave Might Guy training weights, while Kakashi gave him several secret training medicines.

    “This is a compilation of taijutsu training insights that your father and I wrote together. Even if we’re not by your side in the future, you can still follow the experiences in this notebook to train,” Muzuki said with a smile, handing a notebook to Might Guy.

    “Guy, your youth is constantly moving forward!” Might Duy encouraged with a loud laugh.

    Might Guy nodded heavily. Just then, a gentle breeze blew, flipping open the notebook. Might Guy saw various experiences regarding Eight Gates and Rock Breathing inside, and saw two distinctly different handwritings.

    The scene of the two of them pondering deeply and meticulously writing down their insights appeared in Might Guy’s mind, and he once again shed tears of joy and excitement.

    “Teacher Muzuki, Dad, thank you for your gifts! I definitely won’t let you down!”

    Muzuki showed a warm smile, a gold mine had been discovered.
