Might Guy, with tears streaming down his face, stepped forward with clenched fists: "Aomi-kun, this is your burning youth!"
"Please forgive me for once rudely thinking that you had lost faith in becoming a ninja... It turns out you have been working silently, honing your skills to such a degree, yet so humbly..."
"While I got lost in fleeting achievements, hoping to apply for early graduation this year... Aomi-kun spent five years settling in Ninja School, even resisting the Genjutsu of the Sharingan with sheer will!"
"Please show me your full strength, Aomi-kun! Let me feel the flavor of your youth through your power and spirit!!"
Might Guy's expression was truly remarkable.
There was excitement, repentance, exhilaration, shame...
Unno Ikkaku quietly moved the unconscious Uchiha Obito aside, looking at Might Guy with relief and emotion.
After Aomi demonstrated a marvelous Water Release...
When he announced the intention to choose a third opponent, almost everyone present instinctively shrank back, avoiding eye contact with Aomi.
Except for Might Guy.
He saw Aomi's might, though shocked, he gradually became excited, and finally resolutely chose to challenge Aomi!
"Don't say that, Guy."
Aomi put away his smile and spoke solemnly to the still-tearful Might Guy: "Everyone's path of training is different. Maybe you think my humility is the better choice, but you don't know my thoughts..."
"Every time I see you strive and work hard, I'm greatly inspired and work even more diligently..."
"My humility is just my nature, but I personally prefer your fervor, Guy. Your presence has motivated many confused classmates, leading them not to dwell on their talent but to strive to be the best they can..."
"Guy, I need to thank you for your ongoing encouragement along this journey."
"Today, let's have a grand and exhilarating fight!"
Aomi's expression was extremely serious as he assumed the traditional Senju Style Taijutsu stance.
After hearing Aomi's words, Might Guy's tears poured out like a breached dam.
His heart was filled with unspeakable joy.
Facing rumors and gossip all the way to today, Might Guy never doubted himself, but his father, Might Duy, was always his solid mental support, sustaining him to this day.
And today, Aomi, who easily swept everyone away, unreservedly stated that he had been inspired by Might Guy's efforts and expressed great approval in his words...
This was recognition for his Ninja Path from the top genius of the Uchiha!
"Aomi-kun, you..." Might Guy's tears flowed even more uncontrollably as he recalled Aomi's consistent support, always giving him a thumbs up without caring about his criticized clothing or exaggerated postures...
So, Aomi-kun has always been encouraged by me and continuously encouraged me?
A wonderful sense of destiny and warmth filled Might Guy's heart.
"Come on, Guy, this is our first match, give it your all." Aomi's voice grew louder, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Alright, alright..." Might Guy forcefully held back his tears, rubbing his face hard, and assumed the Konoha Style Taijutsu starting stance: "I will give my all, Aomi!"
Aomi nodded.
The next moment, Aomi's figure began to move, the abundant power granting him astonishing speed as he charged straight toward Might Guy.
Might Guy did the same, the day-and-night self-discipline training bringing phenomenal physical enhancement.
"Bang!"
Two powerful roundhouse kicks clashed, the collision of muscles resonating thunderously across the field, creating a silent wave of sound!
Might Guy's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He was diligent and also proud, believing himself to be a hard-working genius, he didn't think anyone his age in Konoha could rival his strength.
But in the recent exchange, Might Guy had to admit: Aomi's strength surpassed his by a margin...
Thanks to the complete Uchiha Bloodline and the partial Sage Body from Senju Tobirama.
Aomi's fundamental strength was formidable enough, and the "Essentials of Uchiha Taijutsu" also allowed Aomi to gain some of Senju Tobirama's Taijutsu experience.
Might Guy made a swift decision, retracting his leg, bending under Aomi's force, dodging the kick, and countering Aomi with a fierce low kick!
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Aomi's seemingly pure black eyes quickly rotated the Double-Tomoe Sharingan.
The excellent dynamic vision from the Sharingan made Might Guy's swift movements appear in slow motion, and Aomi foresaw and leaped, Chakra coiling around his hands, using the airborne power to strike down at Might Guy's head with overwhelming force!
Might Guy, relying on beast-like instincts, rolled sideways, just barely avoiding Aomi's punch!
"Boom!"
The powerful punch hit the ground, shattering tiles over a meter wide and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Ninja School students numbly watched this scene, all thinking the same thing: "Why is such a monster still in Ninja School and not applying for early graduation?"
"If that punch had landed, it surely would have split someone in half, right?"
At this moment, many people's eyes turned to Kakashi...
Could this acknowledged top talent of Konoha defeat Aomi?
With a smile, Aomi dispersed the Chakra from his hands, expertly employing Senju Style Taijutsu techniques, and engaged Might Guy in a fierce battle.
The two exchanged blows vigorously, using various techniques with enthusiasm.
Unno Ikkaku appreciated the spectacle.
To be honest, although he was a seasoned Chunin, in terms of Taijutsu, he couldn't compare to these two students.
And Kakashi had long furrowed his brows.
The past laggard who once annoyed him had grown to such an extent?
Aomi was someone he couldn't understand at all.
Far ahead of his peers, the competitive spirit, dormant for so long, began to stir once more...
After a full-force kick exchange, Might Guy, panting heavily, collapsed on the ground clutching his thigh.
He had a cramp...
To contend with Aomi, he needed to extract every bit of strength from his muscles at great intensity.
No matter how much Might Guy trained, at seven years old, the flower watered with sweat couldn't match the vibrant color of a Sage Body.
"Aomi-kun..."
"Guy, just call me Aomi."
Aomi smiled, not discussing victory or defeat, as a greenish light appeared on his hand and he placed it on Guy's leg.
