By the time the sky was dark, thanks to his exceptional learning speed, Katsumi Kei had mastered Shadow Clone jutsu and the twelve Wind Style ninjutsu.
Wind Style jutsu are all quite similar; you're either blowing wind out of your mouth or using your palm to send out wind, either casting a hurricane, whirlwind, wind blade, or a Vacuum Sphere like a cannonball.
Seeing that it was dark out and his practice time was almost up, Katsumi Kei washed up and fell asleep.
Going to bed early and waking up early is a good habit.
.....
At Sunrise
Katsumi Kei quickly washed up, prepared breakfast for Hayate and himself, and ate with Hayate.
"Hayate, let's go!"
After shouting, Katsumi Kei ran towards the forest with Hayate.
As for why he didn't ride Hayate? Because is it useful to exercise by riding Hayate?
Wait... it seems a bit complicated.
He shared power with Hayate, so the increase in Hayate's power is also the increase in his own power.
When he rides Hayate, the training effect on Hayate will be enhanced.
So it seems that he could improve physical fitness without training...
But Katsumi Kei won't do that.
If Katsumi Kei buys weights, one person and one dog can exercise at the same time, doubling the efficiency of strengthening.
Katsumi Kei made a mental note to buy some weights to wear later.
He thought about it and realized that if he wanted to use weights to exercise his body, the perfect person to ask for advice on the type and mass of the weights he would be wearing was Might Guy.
Thinking this way, he ran even faster.
Katsumi Kei and Hayate are both very fast, so it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in the forest.
"Huh? You came so early today?
Huh?? And Katsumi Kei, how did Hayate suddenly become so big? Just from yesterday to today he has doubled in size.
Such aura, so much chakra... it's really not weaker than an ordinary special Jonin.
What happened?"
As soon as Katsumi Kei and Hayate arrived in the forest, Might Guy, who was like a green phantom, quickly arrived in front of Katsumi Kei, and then he widened his eyes and rattled off questions and spoke those words like a machine gun.
Seeing Might Guy's stunned look, Katsumi Kei responded calmly, "Good morning, Senior Guy.
As for the answers to your questions, yes, Hayate did get a lot bigger. He got stronger as well.
I have awakened an ability that can make summoning beasts contracted with me evolve."
Hearing Katsumi Kei's words, Might Guy's expression actually returned to almost normal, with much less shock. After two seconds of hesitation and contemplation, Guy whispered, "So it's a Kekkei Genkai awakening. The ability to evolve summoning beasts is really good."
Looking Katsumi Kei and Hayate up and down, Might Guy nodded approvingly, "As expected. Kei, you are a natural ninja, a born genius among ninjas.
Perhaps you can surpass Kakashi to be the youngest Jonin, or maybe you could even become the Hokage!"
Hearing Might Guy say that, Katsumi Kei shook his head, "Becoming the youngest Jonin, I could probably do that. As for becoming Hokage, I'm really not interested.
I'll probably be fine fighting, but sitting in an office handling dull government and political work? Forget it."
"It's true that there is a lot of paper handling as the Hokage." Might Guy nodded in agreement.
As Might Guy and Katsumi Kei were talking and saying hello, Tenten and Naruto showed up one after the other.
"Good morning Katsumi Kei!" Naruto said excitedly coming from the Northwest.
"Good morning Big Brother!" Tenten greeted with the same enthusiasm as she arrived from the Southwest.
While saying hello, they jogged over to where Katsumi Kei stood. When they got there, Tenten and Naruto noticed Might Guy.
"Good morning Senior Guy." Tenten smiled and said hello.
Tenten, who had trained with Katsumi Kei for a period of time in the past was of course familiar with Might Guy.
Even her father, Tengang, had a good relationship with Guy, in fact he was the one who made Might Guy's body weights.
Seeing Tenten greet the senior, Naruto was momentarily stunned and then followed Tenten's example, bowing his head slightly and greeting Might Guy, "Good morning, Senior Guy."
Hearing Tenten's greeting and seeing her, Might Guy's expression did not change, as he smiled and returned the greeting.
But hearing and seeing Naruto, Might Guy's pupils shrank.
As one of the elite fighters just under the Hokage in Konoha, and, with the Eight Inner Gates, possibly the strongest in the village, Might Guy naturally knew about Uzumaki Naruto, and even knew Uzumaki Naruto's secret identity.
It's just that Might Guy was confused. He didn't know how Katsumi Kei knew Naruto, nor did he understand how their relationship developed to the point of inviting Naruto to join Katsumi Kei's morning exercise.
Seeing Might Guy's reaction, Katsumi Kei guessed a couple of thoughts that Might Guy had been having. While Might Guy might be a bit thick-skinned, he is certainly not stupid.
Seeing the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, it is normal to have some thoughts passing through your head, especially considering the Jinchuriki's status and Might Guy's status.
That's why Katsumi Kei quickly introduced the two. "Senior Guy, this is my new friend, Uzumaki Naruto. From today onwards, he and Tenten will be joining me to train in the morning.
Naruto and Tenten want to become stronger through exercise with me.
Also, Senior Guy, I know you are a top expert in physical skills, so please give us some pointers in the future."
Hearing this, Might Guy also came back to his senses.
"Kei, you want me to instruct you three in physical skills?" His expression became serious.
Looking at Might Guy's reaction, Katsumi Kei also nodded seriously, "Yes please, Senior Guy."
Naruto and Tenten also bowed their heads slightly, "Please Teacher Guy!"
After receiving confirmation, Guy fell into deep thought.
While thinking, Might Guy's eyes swept across Katsumi Kei, Hayate, Tenten, and Naruto.
After a moment of hesitation, Might Guy stopped his eyes on Katsumi Kei and Hayate.
"How about this: Kei, you and Hayate compete with me. If I am satisfied with your current fitness and strength, I will teach the three of you, Kei, Tenten, and Naruto, taijutsu." Might Guy smiled slightly.
Hearing what Might Guy said, Tenten and Naruto could barely contain their excitement.
Tenten knew that Might Guy was very powerful, and she also knew that Katsumi Kei was much more powerful than herself, but she didn't know the depth of power within those two.
She was excited because she thought that through this competition, she would be able to see Katsumi Kei's full strength, and through this, she would know her Big Brother even better.
Naruto, on the other hand, was excited because Katsumi Kei told him that Might Guy was a taijutsu expert.
Although Might Guy Senior was dressed strangely and didn't really look like a taijutsu expert, Naruto still believed it because Katsumi Kei said so.
Therefore, Naruto was very curious about how powerful this taijutsu expert was, and also curious how strong Katsumi Kei was.
After all, Naruto's dream was to be a strong man! A ninja! The Hokage!
On the other side, Katsumi Kei heard Might Guy's condition, and after thinking it over quickly, he replied directly, "Okay, then please advise me, Guy Senior."
