[After seeing Kakashi as both a rival and a friend, Guy decided to chase after Kakashi recklessly by following his own rules.]
[These so-called personal rules were actually self-restraints, and restraint meant deliberately putting on a shackle when facing certain difficulties, pushing yourself to the brink.]
[It was because of these shackles that one took challenges seriously, and even after failing, could practice the rules to become stronger.]
[This was the most important thing that Duy passed down to Guy, the ultimate motto for three generations—Duy, Guy, and Lee.]
[But unlike Duy, Guy's personal rule was that if he didn't do at least five hundred push-ups or run laps, he would punish himself by challenging Kakashi.]
[Interestingly, since Kakashi became the tough goal blocking his way, Guy succeeded in every challenge he took on.]
[Don't mock him for being so afraid of Kakashi; this actually shows Guy's deep admiration for him.]
[So everyone saw that a nobody like Guy kept challenging, kept growing stronger, kept working hard, and with blood, sweat, and tears, slapped the faces of all those who looked down on and mocked him.]
[That faint but steady determination, that unintentional growth, almost scared Kakashi—who was usually calm in every situation—into wetting himself.]
"Hehe, Kakashi, scared shitless!"
In the Fifth Hokage timeline, Obito teased Kakashi with a mocking poke, his laugh barely hiding the ridicule on his face.
"Scared shitless?"
Kakashi gave a cold smile, then prepared to pull down his pants.
This move immediately startled Obito.
"Damn, Kakashi, what are you trying to do?"
"Aren't you curious to see me pee? I'll pee for you right now."
"."
Obito, feeling a headache, hugged Kakashi from behind to stop him, then turned around and shouted loudly at Tsunade and the others, "Can't someone stop him?"
"Uh."
Tsunade gave Orochimaru a look, signaling him to handle this guy.
Orochimaru made a gesture that enraged a certain person, then pulled out a camera from his crotch.
"Obito-kun, let go of Kakashi. I actually want to know what Sakumo-san, after being resurrected, would think when he sees photos of Kakashi peeing everywhere."
Hearing that, Obito instantly let go of Kakashi and gave Orochimaru a thumbs up.
"When it comes to dirty things, you really take the crown, Orochimaru."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Kakashi was now in an awkward position.
If he peed, he wouldn't face his own father well later.
If he didn't pee, wouldn't he become someone who doesn't keep his word?
After thinking about the consequences of both, Kakashi finally tightened his waistband, acting as if nothing had happened.
"Sasuke, Sasuke, don't you think Kakashi-sensei is acting a bit strange?"
"Isn't that obvious? Anyone can tell he's acting weird."
"Could Kakashi-sensei have gone crazy?"
Sasuke touched his chin and replied, "He's probably not crazy. I guess it's the effect of the Sharingan that amplified Kakashi's negative emotions."
"Can it be fixed? I really don't want Kakashi-sensei to go insane."
"Don't worry, Naruto. If Kakashi really goes crazy, then we'll take him down."
"That's a bit extreme, isn't it?"
"What's there to fear? After Orochimaru learns the resurrection technique, killing someone now and then will probably be normal."
Naruto thought about how everyone was casually talking about killing themselves, and he felt awful.
Σ(⊙▽⊙)
[Actually, everyone might be tired of the usual motivational talk about effort and success, but no matter how many times I watch Guy's determined eyes and see him trying his best recklessly, I can't help but ask myself: They both carry one head on two shoulders, others can get into the Ninja Academy, so why can't Guy?]
[Why do you watching this video all have girlfriends, but I don't?]
Ahem.
[Geniuses aren't scary, what's scary is that geniuses work harder than you.]
[For example, genius-like Kakashi still trains desperately, which hits Guy hard. But he won't give up because effort is the only thing he can do well, and he absolutely won't lose in that.]
Guy: "If you're this hardworking, then I'll work harder than you."
"You train, I train. You sleep, I train. You read 'Love Paradise,' I'm still training."
[Guy used the dumbest, simplest, and most hardcore method to successfully surpass himself, eventually achieving the inhuman feat of running five thousand laps in one go.]
[Honestly, I am really curious—running five thousand laps nonstop, over a hundred kilometers, is this still a person?]
[With this kind of perseverance, even the aloof Lord Kakasi finally agreed to be his opponent.]
[Of course, this perseverance mainly refers to how he kept pestering Kakashi.]
[Good grief, not only following him while eating, bathing, and tailing him around, but even following Kakashi when he went to pee.]
[Because of this, although he will be wise for generations to come, he was always nicknamed Acorn, which is definitely Kakashi's revenge on Guy.]
"Kakashi-sensei, are you really spreading rumors about Uncle Guy behind his back?"
In the Third Hokage timeline, Naruto Uzumaki looked at Kakashi with a curious face.
In Naruto's mind, although Kakashi-sensei loved reading Icha Icha novels, liked being late, and was unreliable in some matters, he shouldn't be a petty person.
"Well..."
Seeing Naruto's clear and innocent eyes, Kakashi slightly avoided his gaze, feeling a bit guilty.
At that moment, Kakashi said nothing, yet it seemed like he said everything.
"Kakashi, are you being a little petty?"
"Sigh~"
Kakashi sighed, looking at Jiraiya who was speaking, and replied, "Back then, I was really annoyed. No matter where I went or what I was doing, Guy would always appear within five meters of me. The worst part was, at night when I was sleeping, he'd even crawl into my bed. How could I tolerate that? I'm straight, after all."
"...Alright, Guy's behavior was indeed a bit over the line."
Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly.
If he were in that situation, forget about rumors, he might even develop the intent to kill.
In the end, the helpless Kakashi had no choice but to give in.
[Who would have thought, a genius is a genius—Guy got defeated by Kakashi in everything: swords, spears, and sticks.
[Even in fights, Kakashi's fancy ninja techniques left Guy completely dumbfounded.
[Originally, Kakashi thought weaklings were meaningless and boring, but facing someone who worked so hard, he just couldn't stay heartless.
[Although later, Kakashi always used rock-paper-scissors to brush off Guy, don't underestimate rock-paper-scissors; it's a contest of insight and reflexes, greatly improving perception and sharpness.]
