Recruiting Might Guy (Part 1)

Ever since Zhang Miao and Guy made that deal, Zhang Miao did not see Guy around the next day.

However, even if Zhang Miao stayed inside the house, he knew that Guy would be practicing his handstand for the contest.

In the evening, the familiar system prompt sounded again.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the contest. The reward is 5-star Jonin-level - Might Guy Ninja Fragment x10!]"

Hearing this prompt, Zhang Miao knew that Guy's attempt today had failed.

Moreover, with Guy's character, Zhang Miao felt that if nothing went wrong, he would probably be exhausted and give up for the day.

"Poor guy!"

Zhang Miao sighed, shook his head, and went to his room to sleep.

On the second day, Zhang Miao still did not see Guy around, but in the evening, he received the system prompt again.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the official contest. The reward is 5-star Jonin-level - Might Guy Ninja Fragmentt x10! ]"

In the next half month, Guy did not appear in front of Zhang Miao once, but the system notification sound did not absent once.

The only difference was the time when the prompt sounded. It was getting late day by day. Sometimes it would ring in the evening, sometimes when it was already dark, early in the morning, and there were even a few times when it was already dawn.

Every time Zhang Miao was woken up by the system prompt in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"What a persistent guy!"

Guy was indeed persistent, but the results began to show. On the 35th day of trying, Zhang Miao finally received a different prompt.

"[Ding! The host has lost against Guy. The contest is over!]"

When he heard this prompt, a smile appeared on Zhang Miao's lips.

"So he finally succeeded?"

Although he did not obtain the Ninja Fragment this time, Zhang Miao did not feel disappointed. Instead, he was sincerely happy that Guy could break his limit again.

"It seems that I have inadvertently become Guy's stairway to greatness. Perhaps he's already running over here with a face full of excitement!"

Not long after, Zhang Miao saw a cloud of dust in the distance. In front of them, a green figure was approaching him at high speed!

If it wasn't Guy, who was it?

After a few breaths, Guy rushed in front of Zhang Miao. The dust he created blew Zhang Miao's hair.

"Damn it. Now I have to wash my hair again today!"

As if he did not notice Zhang Miao's disgusted expression at all, Guy, who was sweating profusely, suddenly hugged him.

"Ryunosuke, I succeeded! I have walked around Konoha on my hands without stopping or falling down. Will you fulfill your promise now?"

"Yes, I will!"

Zhang Miao nodded and pushed Guy away.

"I admit that you are the Noble Green Beast of Konoha, Guy. I will stop calling you the Acorn guy. Congratulations, you have broken your limit yet again. You are the best. Okay, let me go!"

Guy had been waiting for Zhang Miao to say this for a long time. Now that he finally recognized himself, he was so excited that he hugged Zhang Miao tightly and cried with joy.

"Waah... Great, I did it. I really did it. Thank you, Ryunosuke, waah..."

"Hey, hey, hey... snot, be careful of your snot. Help!"

...

While Guy was hugging Zhang Miao in tears of joy, the system notification rang out in Zhang Miao's mind.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Guy's absolute trust and obtaining 5-star Jonin-level - Might Guy Ninja Fragment x10. The host has collected 400 identical 5-star Ninja Fragments and can recruit him at any time!]"

"..."

"Is this enough?"

During their so-called contest, Zhang Miao basically did not do anything to obtain Guy's ninja fragments every day, so he did not calculate them at all. He didn't expect to collect so many fragments during that period.

Moreover, he also obtained Guy's absolute recognition. This meant that even if he did not bully Guy in the future, he could continue to obtain his ninja fragments.

It seemed that today was really a lucky day!

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao patted Guy on the back and laughed.

"Alright, alright. Don't cry. This time, you won our contest. Go back and take a bath first. We will go to Yakiniku Q tomorrow to celebrate. How about it?"

"Ah? Celebrate?" Hearing that Zhang Miao was going to celebrate for him, Guy immediately revealed a happy expression. But soon, his face became bitter again. "But... I haven't gone for missions this month..."

In this world, ninjas' income basically came from missions. The village also got their income from the clients that gave them missions to complete.

In other words, if a ninja didn't do any missions, he would not have any source of income.

Guy had been working on their little contest for the past month, so naturally, he didn't complete any mission. So he ended up broke.

"It was not easy to obtain Ryunosuke's recognition, but I do not have the money to celebrate. I am really useless!"

Ever since he became a ninja, it was the first time someone had proposed to celebrate for him, but he could not even bring out the money to celebrate. This made Guy feel guilty and sad.

Looking at Guy's depressed state, Zhang Miao laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to worry about the money because I already made a deal with Fukuro a month ago. If you win the contest, Fukuro will invite us to the Yakiniku Q, and we'll have a big meal together. Fukuro is an elite member of the Anbu, so there is no need to worry about money. You can rest assured!"

"Ah?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Guy immediately raised his head in surprise. Then, he looked at Fukuro who was standing at the side with an excited expression. "Is that true? Fukuro-senpai?"

"..."

At this moment, Fukuro really had some bitterness that he could not say.

On the one hand, although he really did not want to pay this money, since the bet had already been set, and the opponent was still a child, Fukuro felt that it was a bit embarrassing if he cheated.

On the other hand, he was moved by Guy's persistence for the past month. Seeing him broke his own limit and all. This was not easy!

Thinking of this, Fukuro nodded to Guy, who was looking at him expectantly.

"Yes, it's true, but we have to wait until Hokage-sama returned."

"Great!"

Hearing Fukuro's answer, Guy immediately jumped up in joy.

Guy didn't care about the time of celebration being two days late. He didn't even care if someone paid for the meal. What he cared about was that there was one more person to celebrate for him.

"Thank you, Ryunosuke! Thank you, Fukuro-senpai! I am so happy. I will go back to take a bath now and do another thousand push-ups. If I can't do it, I will do another 1500 squats. I am so happy, haha!"

After that, Guy ran back home in a flash, leaving Zhang Miao and Fukuro in the dust.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Hearing Fukuro's question, Zhang Miao immediately shrugged his shoulders and went back to his room.

The night soon arrived. When the moon had just hung up its finger, Zhang Miao came down from his small bed. Then he tiptoed to the door and pressed his ear against the door to listen.

About two or three minutes later, Zhang Miao made sure that there was no movement outside before he ran to the middle of the room and took out the 400 ninja fragments of Guy from the system space and laid them flat on the ground.

After doing all this, Zhang Miao took a deep breath and then took out a knife to slit his right thumb.

"Ouch..."

Zhang Miao grinned in pain, but he was able to endure. He quickly formed seals with his hands. "Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram!"

After finishing the five seals, Zhang Miao pressed his bloody palm on the ninja fragment on the ground and shouted.

"Summoning Jutsu!"
