Chapter 365 Might Guy Life Mission Reward

“I’m home.”

Might Guy, tired from his afternoon training, dragged himself back home.

Because he was in particularly good form, Might Guy trained more diligently and harder today than usual, at the cost of being more exhausted.

“Welcome home! It seems like today was another day full of youth!” Might Duy, who had walked to the door, saw Might Guy’s exhausted face, clenched his fists, and said tearfully.

Might Duy himself was a Ninja who had practiced Taijutsu for decades and spent every day with Might Guy. Might Duy knew how strong Might Guy’s body was at that moment; only incredibly strenuous training could exhaust Might Guy to this extent.

Although Might Guy’s body was extremely tired at this moment, upon hearing Might Duy’s words, he immediately showed a bright smile and gave his father a thumbs-up.

“We need to replenish our nutrients well today. Guy, come shopping with me. Buy whatever you like. We’re having a big feast today!” Might Duy wanted to reward the tired Might Guy well.

When they were not financially well-off before, Might Duy did his best to support Might Guy’s training. Now that they could both earn money through missions, Might Duy felt it was very necessary to spend a bit more on food.

Might Guy nodded in agreement and went to the market with Might Duy.

On the way, Might Duy asked, “What kind of meat do you want?”

“Beef,” Might Guy answered without hesitation.

He didn’t have any particular dislikes when it came to food; he could eat beef, lamb, fish, or pork. But if he had to choose, Might Guy liked beef the most.

Among common meats, beef was the most expensive. Might Guy rarely got to eat beef before, mostly eating pork.

However, Might Guy’s preference for beef wasn’t because he ate it rarely before; he simply thought beef tasted better than pork.

“Alright, let’s go buy beef first,” Might Duy led Might Guy to the beef stall.

“How much is beef per jin?”

“Two hundred forty taels.”

“Will you sell it for two hundred ten taels? I’ll buy four jin.”

“At two hundred ten taels, I wouldn’t make any profit. How about two hundred thirty taels?”

“Two hundred twenty taels. If not, I’ll go look at other stalls.” Might Duy made to leave.

“Two hundred twenty taels it is then,” the boss reluctantly took out his knife and started chopping the meat.

Might Duy smiled triumphantly as if he had won a victory.

Although they weren’t as short on money as before, Might Duy had well preserved his old habit of managing the household.

“Even when buying groceries, passionate youth must go all out!” Might Duy declared his victory, holding the beef he had haggled for.

Might Guy looked as if he had learned something, then spoke to cooperate with Might Duy.

Their highly recognizable outfits, coupled with their unique youthful declarations, made some other Ninja who were shopping look their way.

However, this time no one mocked the two of them. After all, Might Duy was no longer a perennial Genin and had already been promoted to Chunin, while Might Guy had made a name for himself in the Chunin Exams and was considered a Taijutsu genius with a promising future.

You’d have to be incredibly foolish to casually mock a genius Ninja and his father.

“How can that Might Duy guy raise a genius like Might Guy? I provided my child with more training resources.” Some even envied Might Duy for having such a good son as Might Guy.

Although Might Duy had now been promoted to Chunin, his experience as a perennial Genin was deeply ingrained in people’s minds. Compared to Might Guy, who became a Chunin at nine years old and shone brightly in the Chunin Exams, Might Duy, as a father, seemed to fall far short.

However, such thoughts were only kept to themselves; no one would say them out loud.

Might Duy didn’t know what others were thinking. He took Might Guy to haggle for groceries along the way, and eventually, the two returned home laughing, carrying full bags.

Might Guy ate this meal with great satisfaction. Although Might Duy’s cooking wasn’t as miraculous as Muzuki’s, it was endlessly delicious.

After eating and resting for a while, Might Guy and Might Duy trained together.

This was at Might Guy’s initiative. His Eight Gates breakthrough was imminent, and his father had been practicing Eight Gates for decades, which could provide him with a lot of help in this regard.

“Rock Breathing, Full Concentration!”

“Eight Gates, Gate of Opening, Open! Gate of Healing, Open! Gate of Life, Open!”

Might Guy concentrated his Breathing Technique to the extreme, then opened the first three Gates of Eight Gates in succession. The powerful aura caused the surrounding fallen leaves to stir without wind.

Feeling Might Guy’s full power at close range, Might Duy burst into laughter.

He was genuinely happy, happy for his son’s excellence.

“Eight Gates, Gate of Life, Open!”

Might Duy also opened the first three Gates of Eight Gates, then launched an attack on Might Guy.

Bang, bang!!

The tall and short green figures quickly collided. The force waves generated by the clash of fists and feet caused the dust on the ground to violently shake.

“So much power, and his fists are incredibly hard!” Might Duy thought, retreating five steps.

Even though he only opened three Gates, he seemed to be inferior to Might Guy in all aspects.

Whoosh!

When Might Guy flashed and rushed towards Might Duy, Might Duy became even more certain of this fact, as he simply couldn’t keep up with Might Guy’s speed.

“Eight Gates, Gate of Pain, Open!”

Might Duy unhesitatingly opened the fourth Gate. Might Guy’s request was to put pressure on him, so Might Duy had to be stronger than him.

After opening the fourth Gate, Might Duy’s strength increased again, but he was surprised to find that even with the fourth Gate open, he still couldn’t defeat Might Guy, who had only opened three Gates, and Might Guy hadn’t even used Leaf Dragon God.

“Hahaha, Guy, your youth truly exceeds my expectations.”

“Eight Gates, Gate of Limit, Open!”

Might Duy excitedly opened the fifth Gate of Eight Gates, his aura surging.

Might Guy’s expression became incredibly serious. Might Duy, with five Gates open, exerted strong pressure.

Their figures flickered continuously, green figures darting back and forth through the forest. The ground and large trees were affected by their battle.

Boom!

Both concentrated Chakra in their fists and engaged in a frontal collision.

The powerful force from Might Duy caused Might Guy to retreat repeatedly, only managing to stop by digging his feet into the ground.

Might Guy did not use the advanced Ninjutsu he learned from Muzuki and Teacher Chen. He only used the most basic Taijutsu to fight Might Duy, who had opened five Gates. Under this intense pressure, he recalled what he had comprehended during the day.

“Eight Gates, Gate of Pain, Open!”

Might Guy’s eyes focused, and he roared, his aura suddenly changing as he successfully withstood the dense offensive of five-Gates Might Duy.

Because Might Guy successfully used the fourth Gate normally, Might Duy quickly stopped, looking at Might Guy with a gratified expression.

“Guy, you’re growing really fast, much faster than I expected.”

But as he smiled, Might Duy’s expression turned serious again, and he asked, “Guy, you’re getting stronger and stronger, but do you know what true strength is?”

Although getting stronger was a joyous thing, Might Duy didn’t want Might Guy to get lost in power and forget his original intention.

“To protect what’s important until the last moment!” Might Guy answered without hesitation.

Might Guy enjoyed fighting Kakashi and found defeating Kakashi to be a very happy thing, but Might Guy believed that true victory was not about defeating someone, but about protecting what he cared about.

Now Might Guy had a sufficient understanding of Eight Gates; he knew it was an extremely dangerous forbidden Jutsu. The earlier Gates were fine, but opening the eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, meant certain death.

But if one day he encountered a powerful enemy that even Kakashi, Obito, or even Teacher Muzuki couldn’t handle, even if it meant death, Might Guy would unhesitatingly open the Gate of Death and fight.

“You are already an excellent Ninja,” Might Duy said with emotion.

He felt he couldn’t teach Might Guy anything more. To open the fourth Gate in such a short time, Might Guy would master Eight Gates much faster than him.

As Might Guy completed his breakthrough, Muzuki’s panel also showed new progress for Might Guy’s life mission.

【Disciple Might Guy’s strength increased and reputation rose, taking a small step on the path to becoming the strongest in Taijutsu. Progress reward: Medium Physical Constitution Enhancement, Any Type Ninjutsu/Taijutsu Extraction Scroll (Mastery Level), Morning Tiger (Mastery Level)】

When the progress exceeded 10%, the rewards for Might Guy’s life mission were immediately settled.

Muzuki possessed Transparent World and Byakugan, making him extremely sensitive to his own body. The moment the rewards were settled, he felt his body grow stronger.

“I didn’t expect it could directly enhance physical constitution,” Muzuki thought as he looked at the rewards.

This was the first time his physical constitution had been enhanced directly by the system. Muzuki had thought the system didn’t have direct physical constitution enhancement rewards at all.

Muzuki roughly calculated and found that this medium enhancement was indeed substantial, roughly equivalent to three months of his training maintaining Rock Breathing Constant State. Without a Breathing Technique, it could be measured in years, as Muzuki’s physical talent was indeed average.

While the Mastery-level Morning Tiger was good, what attracted Muzuki’s attention more was the Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll. The Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll rewarded by the life mission was clearly different from ordinary extraction scrolls.

【Any Type Ninjutsu/Taijutsu Extraction Scroll: Can select Ninjutsu/Taijutsu type for extraction. High probability of obtaining high-level Ninjutsu/Taijutsu.】

After Muzuki clicked it, many categories appeared, and it even supported text search.

Muzuki thought for a moment and searched for the word “time.”

If there was one ability that was the most abnormal, it would definitely be time-related abilities.

Although in his impression, there didn’t seem to be any time-related Ninjutsu in the Ninja World, this was the system after all. If there was, he would make a huge profit.

【No such type currently.】

Muzuki shook his head with some regret. There were definitely many time-related abilities in the myriad worlds, but this custom extraction scroll seemed to be based on the world of Naruto.

Unable to extract time-related skills, Muzuki chose space-time.

Because the system note said there was a high probability of drawing high-level Ninjutsu, Muzuki thought it wouldn’t be so bad as to draw a Summoning Jutsu.

After selecting, a large roulette appeared before Muzuki. Muzuki directly clicked to start the extraction.

【Space-Time Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll consumed. Obtained Space-Time Ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God Formation Technique (Mastery Level)】

Seeing the extracted reward, Muzuki felt a bit speechless. Should he say his eyesight was too good? If his eyesight were poor, he might have been delighted for a while, after all, Flying Thunder God Technique and Flying Thunder God Formation Technique only differed by one character.

Muzuki still had some impression of Flying Thunder God Formation Technique. Minato wanted to teach Flying Thunder God Technique to his Hokage guards, but they couldn’t learn Flying Thunder God. In the end, what they successfully learned was Flying Thunder God Formation Technique, which required three people to cast together to teleport.

Due to the number of people, Flying Thunder God Formation Technique was clearly unable to function in battle. How could three people fight while holding hands?

Actually, Muzuki didn’t care if it couldn’t be used in battle, because his Perfect-level Thunder Breathing wasn’t slower than Flying Thunder God in combat. But requiring three people to cast it together was too much of a hassle; where would he find the other two people?

As a large amount of memories entered Muzuki’s mind, Muzuki’s expression gradually changed. He found that the Mastery-level Flying Thunder God Formation Technique didn’t seem as useless as he thought.

After organizing his memories, Muzuki immediately began to verify the abilities in his memory.

Muzuki first marked his desk with his Flying Thunder God Technique formula, then walked all the way south to a secluded forest.

“Shadow Clone Technique!” After reaching the forest, Muzuki immediately created two Shadow Clones.

Immediately after, Muzuki and his Shadow Clones held hands, gathered Chakra, and together cast Flying Thunder God Formation Technique.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Muzuki was back in his home in the Main urban area.

“Although it’s a bit troublesome, I finally have the ability for long-distance instant movement,” Muzuki thought this Flying Thunder God Formation Technique was pretty good.

He wanted to learn Flying Thunder God not for its combat abilities.

Muzuki checked his personal panel and found an unexpected gain.

【Skill: Flying Thunder God Technique (Beginner: 10/100)】

It had no proficiency before, but Flying Thunder God Technique finally had proficiency, and not just one, but ten.

Muzuki thought for a moment, connected it with previous system rewards, and finally came up with a guess.

“I really don’t have any space-time talent, but for me to be able to use Flying Thunder God Formation Technique, this reward comes with a bit of space talent.”

In the beginning, most of Muzuki’s Chakra Nature Transformation came from rewards for completing classes. If Muzuki didn’t know Water Release, but was rewarded with Water Release, he would automatically gain some knowledge of Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

Muzuki believed the principle was similar for these two cases. After all, he had tried hard to learn and sought advice from Minato before, but no proficiency appeared, so the probability of having no space-time talent was very high.

His subsequent daily discussions with Minato further confirmed Muzuki’s guess.

After learning Flying Thunder God from Minato for two hours, Muzuki’s Flying Thunder God proficiency increased by one again.

Although it wasn’t much, it was a big difference from being zero all the time before.

However, since he already had Flying Thunder God Formation Technique, Muzuki decided to learn Flying Thunder God casually, not spending too much thought on it, slowly grinding until he reached the beginner level, then directly using proficiency scrolls to pull it to Mastery level.

The time freed up from learning Flying Thunder God, Muzuki used to research Breathing Techniques. He wanted to develop a Breathing Technique with a high lower limit and a low upper limit for training.

PS: My body has mostly recovered. I feel quite energetic today. I should update more tomorrow, around 8k words.
