The Journey of Rock Lee

"What should a martial arts master be like? Kind-hearted and energetic? Yes, but they also need to be patient, strong, and fair to ensure that they don't get lost on their path in pursuit of huge ambitions. He used to be a normal guy with a big dream and diligence, but after he died, he woke up in the body of Rock Lee, a boy with an awful fate from the anime "Naruto." There is no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, and only the Taijutsu of the highest level of difficulty! Moreover, the system turned out to be anything but simple, literally...

Chapter 13: Team Guy

Achievements: 1

[Description: Achievements are hidden optional tasks related to the user's life progress and rewarded for completing any item, the quality and uniqueness of which depends solely on luck.]

[You have become a Genin, a full-fledged Shinobi capable of taking missions from Konoha and receiving material value and valuable experience.]

[Reward: Kunai]

[Description: A kunai slightly stronger and sharper than the usual kunai forged by Leaf Blacksmith. This will increase the chance that the enemy Chunin will hit upon this cold weapon and die."

"M-m-m, there was so much notifi..."

Lee thought to himself as he looked at the long and distracting messages.

He walks up the stairs to the roof together with Tenten and Neji Hyuga as they wait for Might Guy. 

"Um, Lee. I heard that you personally know our future sensei and that he was even present with the Hokage during your Genin exam, so could you tell me what he's like?" 

Tenten asked with her eyes shone with energy and youthfulness. 

Unlike her, all positive and inspiring Neji was a natural gloomy ice and a cold no less...

Neji was tense and dissatisfied that he had joined up with Lee and Tenten, who had only learned how to throw cold weapons during their years of training at the Shinobi Academy. 

Neji didn't even want to think about how he would have to get used to them further because Might Gut in charge was too impressive. 

Guy might be unknown to everyone in Konoha knew about him but he was known for loud shouting...

Power of Youth.

"Our sensei's name is Might Guy. He's one of the strongest Jonin in all of Konoha, and the only one who can rival him in battle is perhaps the famous Kakashi Hatake with his genius and Sharingan. That's not certain because our sensei has a powerful trump card. I assure you that there's no doubt about his Taijutsu abilities, but when it comes to everything else heh-heh-heh..."

Lee began to "explain" Might Guy's greatness enthusiastically to her while becoming increasingly embarrassed in the process. 

He even scratched his cheek and laughed awkwardly. He slowly realized that it might be hard for Tenten to train under a man who doesn't know his strength.

"In short, Might Guy is strange, very strange, but I think you'll get used to him."

 Lee concluded and suspiciously fell silent while making Tenten extremely wary.

It turns out, not without reason...

"HEY!"

They were immediately stopped and stunned by a low, bold voice with hints of cheerful seriousness.

"Stop, this is important!"

Rock, Tenten, and Neji raised their gazes and saw him with thick eyebrows doing push-ups on his fingers while standing on them simultaneously. 

What looked like a happy clone was sitting on his feet, and another clone was sitting on his shoulders. 

Moreover, Lee noticed that he still had those weights attached to him while remembering the scene from the anime where he threw them on the ground. 

"I AM MIGHT GUY, THE SPLENDID GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA!"

Might Guy spoke with a voice synchronized with his shadow clones while echoing lightly to reach not only Lee's already admiring heart but also Neji and Tenten.

"Splendid, Guy-sensei!"

Rock exclaimed while clapping enthusiastically and then taking a deep breath and getting into a push-up position, not forgetting to speak with fiery enthusiasm.

"I've been waiting for this for so long, and finally! It's time to train according to the principles of Youthful Power! Let's go, Guy-sensei, I'm ready!"

Suddenly, Rock Lee looked nothing like his usual quiet and reserved self. 

Tenten and Neji thought they had seen the same bold, bossy guy from last month before the fight with Kero. 

This time, he seemed to be powered by batteries instead of regular food, just like everyone else.

"Youthful Power? You're an enlightened lad; well done, but!.."

At the same time, Guy appeared next to Lee who was doing push-ups. He stopped Lee, grabbed him by the waist, and quickly put him back on his feet. 

It happened so quickly that neither Neji nor Tenten could comprehend anything, and Rock felt a bit nauseous.

"No training sessions until we get to know each other!"

Guy ended his speech with a huge smile. He then let go of the now-calm Lee and patted him on the shoulder like a comrade. 

Guy wasn't surprised by Lee's quickness today, as he was honestly the happiest he had ever been.

The trio settled down while finding the most suitable and comfortable position on the rooftop, a wooden gazebo. 

They leaned against its smooth surface and let out a deep breath. 

Might Guy stood in front of them with his arms crossed over his chest and a serious but slightly funny look on his rough face. 

Then he cleared his throat and initiated the conversation in the oddly silent atmosphere.

"Alright, it wouldn't be awkward to introduce myself for the second time, so listen up and remember. I am Might Guy, the official Jonin of the Village Hidden in the Leaves."

"I like training, fighting, and always being ready to protect my loved ones with the Power of Youth. Now it's your turn, and don't be shy to tell me about yourselves, your goals, or your dreams."

"My name is Tenten, and I'm from the family of a local blacksmith! I want to become as great a Shinobi as Tsunade Senju, who was known as one of the Legendary Sannin! That's my goal and dream at the same time, so don't laugh or mock it!

Guy and Lee nodded in agreement.

"Neji from the Hyuga clan. I'll refrain from saying more."

Neji Hyuga said indifferently, and his eyes closed while Lee snorted involuntarily and even smirked at his behavior. 

Lee was the last person on the team, and when it was his turn, he acted very seriously and was different from how he usually behaved. 

Lee's black, coal-like eyes seemed to hold the whole world's attention, and his voice was lowered and sounded very serious.

"My name is Rock Lee. I am the one who will reach or even reach the level of Kage in the future. I want to use Taijutsu to prevent war from ever happening in the Land of Fire, a country that everyone respects but which all neighboring states greedily eye from a threat and dangerous."

"I will become the figure and force of this Shinobi world for every short-sighted fool existing on this planet. I will become a god or a god killer, but most importantly..."

"I was just kidding. Why are you so silent?"

Lee suddenly relaxed his furrowed brows and spread his locked palms in the middle of his narration to release the rooftop's tension.
