When he learned from Guy that they were preparing to accept an invitation to go to Otogakure, Minato's face could not help but show a slightly surprised expression.
"So it is your esteemed daughter's birthday. In that case, please send my greetings to Lord Ryun for me."
"Okay, I will definitely convey Lord Minato's greetings." Guy immediately showed a dazzling smile.
"Esteemed daughter? Who is the esteemed daughter?" Naruto had a face full of question marks.
"Let's go, time to go home for breakfast, otherwise your mother will start nagging again soon." Minato smiled and directly dragged Naruto away.
"Guy sensei! Attending a birthday party, with food and fun, so this is the secret training you were talking about?"
As soon as Minato and his son left, the three cute disciples suddenly stared at Might Guy with scrutinizing looks.
"Ah. I was just afraid that you wouldn't train properly while I was away, wasting your youth, so I thought of telling a little 'leads by example' lie to prevent you from thinking I was going off to enjoy myself." Guy explained with an awkward laugh.
"And this isn't enjoying yourself? Going to Otogakure, with Guy sensei's relationship with the Dragon God, could you possibly suffer there?" Hyuga Neji glanced at him sideways and said. Tenten and Lee also showed looks of disdain at this time.
"Haha. It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm just going there to have a meal, and also to ask my uncle for some taijutsu insights. I'll be back in a few days."
"Also, I will pass on the knowledge I learn there to you. It's the strongest taijutsu experience from the Ninja World. Are you three little guys sure you don't want to know?"
As soon as Might Guy said this, his three disciples immediately erupted.
"So Guy sensei is going to Otogakure for us. I actually thought Guy sensei was going for food and fun. I truly deserve to die." Lee directly knelt before Guy, repenting and shedding tears.
"Lee, you."
Seeing Lee's tearful face, Guy's tears also started flowing. Indeed, this disciple understood his good intentions!
"Sorry, Guy sensei, we."
Hearing that the teacher would pass on the Illusion Sun Dragon God's taijutsu experience to them, Neji and Tenten immediately had a gleam in their eyes, and then quickly apologized to Guy.
However, before they could even finish speaking, Guy forcibly pulled them into a hug. The three students were squeezed until their eyes rolled back from the 'loving embrace'.
'How can a strange creature like Guy sensei be the one closest to Uncle Ryun in all of Konoha.' Sasuke found it somewhat unbelievable.
"By the way, Guy sensei, how can Sasuke also go to Otogakure to attend the party?" Tenten asked curiously.
Hearing Tenten's question, Sasuke's chin lifted slightly, and a somewhat proud expression appeared on his face.
"Probably because he's also from the Uchiha clan." Before Guy could answer, Neji glanced at Sasuke and guessed.
As a member of a major clan, he naturally knew some information about Uchiha Sasuke.
Although Uchiha Sasuke was not well-regarded by some clansmen, he was, after all, the young master of the Uchiha clan. It was perfectly normal for him to be invited to Otogakure as a representative of the Uchiha clan.
To be honest, Neji was somewhat jealous of Sasuke's status.
Actually, relying on clan ties to get close to Ryun was not a wise approach. Uchiha Mikoto had specifically warned Sasuke about this.
As a fan of Ryun, Uchiha Mikoto clearly understood Ryun's relationship with the clan and knew what was the safest way to approach that man.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. You three little guys go back and rest. I need to take a shower and then leave the village with little Sasuke."
Might Guy shooed away his three cute disciples, then led Sasuke directly into the house.
"Ah, these clothes are so loose and baggy. They're ultimately not as lightweight and comfortable as the Youth Battle Suit."
Might Guy had rarely changed into a kimono.
"Youth Battle Suit, you don't mean that green spandex suit, do you?" Sasuke asked subconsciously.
"Mm-hmm, it's the training suit Lee and I often wear. Do you like it too, little Sasuke? I can give you one." As he spoke, Guy once again flashed his gleaming white teeth.
"I don't want it."
Sasuke refused without hesitation.
"This clothing can make you stronger. Let me tell you a secret, my uncle wore the same Youth Battle Suit back in the day." In order to spread the battle suit representing 'youth', Guy did not hesitate to tell a little lie.
In the original story, he not only tricked Naruto into wearing the green spandex, but even Sai believed his nonsense, thinking Naruto became so strong by training in the green spandex.
"Re. really?"
Sasuke was momentarily shocked and suspicious.
"Really! If you don't believe me, you can ask my uncle yourself later."
"Then give me one. No, I want to buy one."
"Ahem. No need to buy. I happen to have one here. Originally, I planned to give it to Neji as a reward. Since you want it, I'll let you have it."
Guy continued his serious nonsense. He had three sets of this smaller green spandex suit. He originally wanted to give them to Lee, Tenten, and Neji for free, but in the end, only Lee was willing to take it and dared to wear it.
"Thank you, Guy sensei!"
Sasuke hurriedly expressed his thanks. Although he was genuinely grateful to Guy at this moment, for some reason, looking at the lightweight green spandex suit fluttering in the other's hand, Sasuke just couldn't feel happy.
Much later in the day, the two finally arrived at Otogakure.
Entering Otogakure, Sasuke felt very curious about the unfamiliar surroundings. He looked around all the way, secretly comparing it to Konoha Village.
He felt this place was more prosperous than Konoha, and he also felt this village seemed full of vitality. As for why he felt this vibrant energy, he couldn't quite put his finger on it at the moment.
"Little Kai."
As soon as Guy and Sasuke arrived at the Shadow Manor, they saw Ryun standing at the entrance with his daughter Nanaise, smiling as he welcomed his arrival.
"Uncle."
Guy stepped forward and hugged Ryun's leg.
"You. you're already an adult. Why are you still the same as when you were little? Get up quickly." Ryun was caught between laughter and tears. He pulled Guy up from the ground.
"Hello, Kai brother!"
Nanaise greeted him very politely.
"Yo, Nanaise, you're getting more and more beautiful. Here, this is the gift your Kai brother prepared for you. Happy birthday!" Guy gave her a Kai-style smile and handed the gift named 'Youth' to Nanaise.
"Thank you, Kai brother! It's been a year, and Kai brother's eyebrows seem to have grown thicker again!" Nanaise smiled and accepted the gift.
Upon hearing this, Ryun immediately rapped her lightly on the head. Originally, he wanted to teach Nanaise not to be disrespectful to her elders, but the next moment, he heard Guy laugh triumphantly.
"Haha! Nanaise, your words are so sweet!"
"Dad, why did you hit me?" Nanaise covered her little head and asked blankly.
Ryun was speechless.
"Little Kai, where's my big brother? Why didn't he come?" The awkward, then changed the subject.
"Dad has a mission, so he couldn't come."
Seeing the few of them chatting happily, Sasuke felt his presence was somewhat lacking. Ryun had only smiled at him earlier, then focused all his attention on Guy sensei.
However, that exceptionally outstandingly cute clan sister with remarkable temperament and looks glanced at him a few more times. Sasuke immediately gave her a friendly smile. Seeing this, Nanaise was slightly taken aback, and an inexplicable feeling of shyness arose in her heart.
