Upon arriving at the ninja academy, I am greeted by several classmates, including Obito, Rin, Kurenai, and other extras. Obito smiles and warns me to be alert because Guy is looking for me. Moments later, I sense something approaching at high speed.

I click my tongue and quickly dodge a flying kick executed by Guy, assuming a bridge position with some difficulty. "Guy!!!" I shout, annoyed with this guy who constantly challenges me.

One fine day, Guy challenged me, but seriously, I was already much stronger than him to be his sparring partner. So, to not waste time, I ended up telling Guy that I would only accept his challenge if he completed a specific type of training.

Guy accepted the challenge, and thus, I gave him the most insane and crazy tasks. However, Guy didn't back down, he continued training until he passed out, with only one goal in mind: to overcome my challenge and fight me.

And so, we started a cycle where Guy would challenge me, I would refuse and give him an absurd training method. Over time, he would complete it and challenge me again. Seriously, this gave me a lot of headaches because at some point, Guy became extremely strong, and I was having difficulty stopping him.

In the past 5 months, I haven't neglected my training, but even so, Guy had a natural talent for Taijutsu, combined with his effort, he became a true monster.

"Atsuchi, let's burn our youth here and now!" Guy says, looking at me with fiery eyes.

"Damn," is the only thing I manage to say before Guy moves to attack me.

For many experienced ninjas, this fight would be classified, at most, at the Genin level, but for us, it was different. Both for Guy and me, this was a battle above Kage level.

Guy attempts to punch my face, but I defend myself with my forearm. Feeling the strength of his fist, I reflect, "Heavy," casting a keen look at Guy, who smiles.

Without waiting for Guy to execute another Kata from his taijutsu, I quickly jump and deliver a knee strike to his chin. I feel Guy almost losing consciousness, but he is stubborn and uses his willpower to remain awake.

After countless battles fought with Guy, getting to know his movements and patterns, our bodies move in perfect harmony, launching spinning kicks that collide in mid-air. The impact pushes us back, and we intensely lock eyes.

Without wasting time, I advance against Guy, who waits for me in a guard stance. Leaping lightly into the air, I appear before him, ready to deliver powerful strikes to the upper part of his body. Using his advanced battle instinct, Guy defends against all my attacks, redirecting my force away from his body. Sensing an opening in his defense, I quickly step back.

"Damn..." mutters Guy, somewhat irritated.

"You almost got me, Guy. I almost fell into your trap, but that's about to change," I tell him. This guy is becoming more perceptive with each battle we fight. Drawing my kunai, I go on the offensive.

Guy also pulls out his kunai and begins to defend against my attacks. After exchanging a few blows, I step back again with a BackFlip and quickly perform a few hand seals.

Using the Boar seal, I invoke control over the flow of chakra. Normally, skilled ninjas in this seal don't need to use it, but since I dedicated a lot of time to my Biological Studies, I haven't fully mastered some seals, so I have to resort to the Boar seal.

To continue the Jutsu, I use the Bird seal, which incorporates concepts of movement or employs wind nature transformation, adding a special attribute to the technique.

Next, I execute the Ox seal, imbuing concepts of charge or launching into the technique, and I finish with the Dragon seal, granting me the ability to expel chakra.

With the sequence ready, I take a deep breath of the air around me, merging it with my technique, and then exhale it.

"Wind Style: Wind Dragon Bomb," I pronounce, unleashing my powerful technique.

As I spew out the technique, powerful winds take the form of a dragon head that advances toward Guy, who receives my attack with crossed arms.

My jutsu hits Guy's body, causing irregular but non-fatal cuts due to the minimal amount of chakra applied in the technique.

With the technique concluded and the dust settling, Guy finds himself on his knees and with his head lowered, cuts covering his body as he breathes heavily.

"Guy, it's over, you lost! If I had used the technique with enough chakra, you'd be dead," I inform Guy, who clenches his fists tightly on the sand of the ninja academy courtyard, discontent with the outcome.

I sort of understood Guy. He couldn't use chakra, so he could only rely on direct combat. If it were Kakashi or any other ninja facing a technique similar to mine, they would simply use the Substitution Jutsu, and everything would be fine. Watching Guy in this pitiful situation...

"Guy, if you want to fight me again, you need to increase your speed. Ask your father, he will know what to do to help you," I suggest, approaching Guy and helping him to his feet.

"I understand, Atsuchi. I'll run 10,000 laps in the playground..." Guy responds, but I interrupt him.

"Guy, your problem isn't running laps in the playground. Your problem is speed. Put on some weights, maybe you'll get some results over time," I calmly speak to Guy.

With renewed spirits and newfound hope, Guy bids farewell and runs towards the infirmary to tend to his injuries.

As I watch Guy move away, I shift my gaze to Obito, who watched our battle with enthusiasm. If Guy had landed that initial kick to my head, I would have probably been at a disadvantage, and I couldn't allow myself to lose to him.

"Thank you," I express my gratitude to Obito, acknowledging the importance of avoiding that critical blow. His intervention was crucial to my strategy.

"You're welcome," he responds with a sincere smile.

I quickly bid farewell to Obito and head to the classroom. There, I find Kakashi sitting at our desk, boredom evident in his eyes. As I approach, we exchange a silent greeting with a glance.

"Guy gave you a hard time today, didn't he?" Kakashi comments, attempting to start a conversation.

"Always," I retort, exhaling sharply in exasperation.

"You finally decided to show up after three weeks. If you keep this up, you'll end up falling behind," Kakashi taunts with his characteristic sarcasm.

I narrow my eyes at Kakashi, responding mockingly, "So, you've had difficulties too, Kakashi? Surprising to see Sakumo's son facing any challenges."

Kakashi clicks his tongue in response and proceeds to ignore me, making his disinterest in the provocation clear.

"He's still a child, so easy to provoke. Guy must have been relentless during the fight," I reflect internally, acknowledging Kakashi's inexperience in handling such situations.

Returning my gaze to Kakashi, I adopt a serious and pleading tone, "Kakashi, I've rarely asked you for anything, and I hope you can help a friend in need. Don't worry, my great friend, I intend to reward you in the future."

"Hmm... what do you want?" Kakashi asks, turning his head towards me.

"Kakashi, do you happen to know a technique called Shadow Clone Jutsu?" I ask, a bit anxious. Although I'm aware that requesting a high-level technique from Kakashi can put me at risk, I'm going through a moment of need and decide to take the risk.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu? Well, I think I have the scroll for that technique in the clan's library. Why do you need it?" Kakashi responds, showing genuine interest in my request.

"Kakashi, I intend to use the technique for training," I reply, explaining my intention.

"How will this technique help you in training?" he asks, curious.

"You don't understand, Kakashi. This technique works like the Bushin no Jutsu, but the clones created are physical and not illusions. Recently, I discovered that this technique imposes a great mental burden when dispelled because it transfers memories to the original body. Can you see the value of this technique now?" I explain, hoping he understands the potential of this ability.

"Okay, I'll get the technique. Where can we meet to train?" Kakashi says, but I notice that he automatically included himself in the practice of the technique. Perhaps Kakashi can't easily share the scroll.

"Meet me at training field number 7, after the ninja academy," I reply, just as the students begin to take their seats and the Chunin instructor starts the class.
