Chapter 28: Konoha's Proud Blue... Beast?! [Part 2]

Might Guy, who calls himself Konoha's Proud Blue Beast, is actually known by those who truly know him as a complete oddball beast with a silly head.

Although Might Guy is not good at ninjutsu, he is a top-notch expert in taijutsu, especially in the forbidden technique of the Eight Gates, which is extremely powerful. Under the Seven Gates state, Rock Lee already had the strength of a Kage, and after opening the Eighth Gate and burning his life force, he gained the power similar to that of the Six Paths Sage, but the duration was too short, and the cost was his own life.

Despite Might Guy's oddball personality, his character is iron-willed and resolute. He and Kisame Hoshigaki are known as the only two real men in the Hokage world. In his childhood, because of his poor ninjutsu skills, he was often ridiculed as a fool and a loser. However, Might Guy did not give up on training because of others' ridicule. Instead, he worked hard to train in taijutsu. Finally, after learning the forbidden technique of the Eight Gates from his father, Might Duy, he made a name for himself.

Although Might Guy is very strong, most people in Konoha do not know this. It was not until after the Fourth Great Ninja War that Kakashi, who had witnessed the power of the Eight Gates, began to train a group of "Watermelon Boys."

Might Guy sees Kakashi as his lifelong rival. After Kakashi joined ANBU, he also submitted an application to the Third Hokage expressing his desire to join ANBU. However, he was rejected by the Third Hokage, not because he thought Rock Lee was not strong enough, but because Rock Lee's personality was not suitable for ANBU work.

When Sakura saw the frog-like outfit on the other side, her eyes twitched, and she wished she could poke her eyes out immediately. This weird aesthetic was simply beyond words.

"Girl, I never thought there was someone in Konoha who understands youth like you do. I, Might Guy, am willing to recognize you as my best friend. Let's walk on our hands around Konoha twenty times for our blooming youth!"

Rock Lee showed his signature smile, and white teeth sparkled in the sunlight, making Naruto, Sasuke, and the others shudder.

"No, I'm still a kid. Excessive high-intensity exercise will affect my physical development!" Sakura refused without hesitation. She didn't want to be seen with strange eyes by others if she walked on her hands around Konoha like Rock Lee.

"Oh, I see. That's a shame!" Rock Lee's face was full of regret, but the next second, he showed a mysterious smile. "Girl, I have a magical outfit here. It..."

"I don't need it!" Sakura interrupted him before he finished speaking. She knew that the magical outfit Rock Lee was talking about was the green frog suit. She would rather fight Madara Uchiha than wear that.

"Girl, although you refused my gift, I can still see that you are full of youthful energy. Come on, let's run around Konoha for our youth!"

With a thumbs up, white teeth sparkled brightly, making Sakura and the others have to shield their eyes.

"In fact, you are the real Konoha White Fang!" Sakura couldn't help but comment. His teeth were so white that it was a waste not to use him for toothpaste commercials.

"It's getting late. Let's get going!" The situation had already turned to his father's head, and Kakashi couldn't continue to watch the show. He quickly walked over and reminded them.

"Kakashi-senpai!" Uchiha Shisui politely greeted him. Kakashi's reputation in Konoha was still very high, and Uchiha Shisui also knew a little about him because of the Sharingan.

"Huh? We're leaving? But has the person we're supposed to escort arrived yet?" Guy scratched his head in confusion.

"I am the person you are supposed to escort!" Sakura's lips twitched.

"What?!" Guy was stunned for a while before reacting. "We're supposed to escort a little kid, and let her go to such a dangerous place?"

"Kakashi-san, can I beat him up?" Sakura's forehead had a few blue veins popping out. She felt that the calm state of mind she had developed during this period of time was about to be broken by Guy.

"As long as you don't hurt him!" Kakashi's mouth under the mask moved slightly. Was he really that old? He had just come of age this year.

"That's good!" Sakura's lips curled up slightly. She held the Oil-paper Umbrella in her left hand and gently moved her right hand. Guy, who was standing still, suddenly flew up without warning.

"What's going on?!" Guy flailed his limbs in the air, but couldn't exert any strength. He trembled all over, wondering if he had encountered some supernatural event.

After a lot of commotion, the group finally prepared to set off. They waved goodbye to their parents and Naruto, Sasuke, and the others with their backs facing them. Sakura, under the protection of Kakashi and the others, headed towards the border.

Once the mission officially began, not only did Kakashi and Shisui enter a focused mode, even Guy became less talkative and focused on guarding against enemy attacks.

"Kakashi-san, Shisui-san, and Guy-san, if you don't mind, you can all sit on my sword and don't have to walk so hard on your feet!" Sakura suggested. Demon Sword quickly expanded in size, and the four of them squatted on it without feeling crowded.

"This feeling of flying is really comfortable!" Guy said with enjoyment. Although Demon Sword was very fast, Sakura had enveloped a layer of invisible shield around the sword, blocking most of the strong wind blowing towards them. Therefore, they only felt a comfortable breeze blowing on their faces.

"It's really not bad!" Kakashi took out the gift "Make-Out Paradise" that Jiraiya gave him on his coming-of-age day from his ninja tool bag and started reading it. It was the first time he had experienced flying, and he felt it was quite good.

"Like a bird flying freely in the sky..." Shisui's eyes showed a look of longing. He slightly opened his hands as if he wanted to grab something.

"Does Shisui-san like peace?" Sakura suddenly asked on the way.

"Of course!" Shisui nodded without hesitation. "Without war, killing, and meaningless death, everyone can live in peace, and the world will have fewer tragedies."
