On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

"So that's how it is, no wonder." Knowing the truth, Might Guy transformed back into his Hot-Blooded form. He knew it couldn't be the clothes; this green bodysuit was his favorite.

However, Might Guy felt that Nagasawa was a little different from the image he had imagined; he seemed a bit unserious...

Chapter Forty-Four: Green is not a man without strategy.

"Besides this, there is another secret technique..."

After saying that, Nagasawa briefly demonstrated Armament Haki on Might Guy.

Looking at the ravaged ground, Matt Kai's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.

That punch, Yongze didn't even use chakra, only that Armament Haki binding, but the power was terrifying, destroying a large area of ​​land and cracking it open.

"I'm going to teach you both secret techniques. Are you willing to learn?" Yongze asked with a smile.

Might Guy was so excited that tears and snot streamed down his face as he hugged Yongze and said, "I'm willing, I'm very willing. Youth is about learning more secret techniques."

Might Guy felt a little unreal. He wasn't familiar with Yongze at all; he had only just taken him on as a disciple, yet Yongze was willing to treat him so well.

To be honest, the most Might Guy has encountered along the way is ridicule.

Only his father consistently encouraged him by setting a good example, teaching him the true meaning of youth.

Treat others' ridicule as support, and difficulties as training. Youth will never disappear until death; in fact, the moment of death is when youth reaches its peak.

Matt Kai always kept these words in mind and put them into practice.

So when he suddenly met someone who was so good to him, he felt it was unreal and even a little lost. His father had only taught him how to face difficulties, but not how to face this situation.

After calming down the agitated Might Guy, Nagasawa handed him a scroll containing the training methods for the Six Powers, and also helped Guy increase his Haki potential.

"This contains six very practical physical training methods. Go back and practice them diligently. For the next week, come here before eight o'clock every morning, and I will teach you how to cultivate domineering aura," Yongze explained his arrangements.

Although Kakashi also needs to train, he can simply use a shadow clone for this kind of thing. Kakashi often uses shadow clones to help them with their training.

Firstly, he also has his own things to do and can't train them every day.

Secondly, since the main body is there anyway, the speed will be suppressed anyway, and the shadow clones have the same effect, but the suppression is less.

However, Might Guy will initially teach him properly using his main body, but once things get on track, he will use shadow clones to teach him.

"Six physical techniques..." Might Guy gripped the scroll tightly, almost bursting into tears again with excitement.

"Teacher Yongze, I will definitely practice the taijutsu you taught me diligently and will never let you down!"

"Yes, train hard." Nagasawa nodded, seeing Might Guy's determination to train to the point of exhaustion.

The Six Powers he gave Guy and Kakashi were the same version, both of which were rudimentary incorporations of chakra manipulation, without any advanced nature transformations.

For example, it doesn't have anything like Wind Blade Storm Kick or Lightning Release Finger Pistol.

Yongze's idea was to teach them the advanced version after they had learned the basic version. Of course, the main reason was that he hadn't developed it yet; they were all semi-finished products.

Nagasawa estimated that it would be about a month later. Developing a set of ninjutsu in three months would definitely be considered highly efficient in the ninja world.

In the ninja world, the development of ninjutsu is not measured in years.

Of course, he has an even faster record, which is developing the Rasengan with Minato, which seems to have been completed in just a few weeks.

However, that doesn't count either, because he already knew how to practice the Rasengan. It can't be said that he developed it; it can only be said that he practiced it.

"By the way, Kakashi is also training. You two can discuss things with each other," Nagasawa kindly reminded him.

Upon hearing the name Kakashi, Guy's expression instantly changed.

"As expected of my lifelong rival, you've earned your approval, Master Nagasawa. But when it comes to physical combat, I won't admit defeat."

Seeing Might Guy like this, Nagasawa laughed unkindly.

He figured Kakashi wouldn't have a good time these next few days; Guy's enthusiasm was unmatched by most people.

However, Nagasawa thought this was a good thing, and it was also good for Kakashi. Although it was a bit annoying, it was still beneficial for improving his strength.

Afterwards, Nagasawa personally demonstrated the Six Forms once more, and then told Might Guy about the things to pay attention to when practicing the Six Forms.

……

……

One day, after finishing the morning's training sessions where he was beaten up, Nagasawa disappeared from Kakashi and the other two's sight, letting them rest.

Inuzuka Midori looked around suspiciously for a while, then pulled Kakashi and Salt Water aside and said seriously:

Do you know what day November 16th is?

Saltwater thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Was there anything special about that day? I don't remember anything."

Kakashi shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.

Midori Inuzuka smiled smugly, put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Even the wise Nara and the genius Kakashi are nothing special. They still need Midori."

Saltwater stared at Inuzuka Midori with a blank expression, somewhat speechless.

Kakashi said expressionlessly, "You're so smart, Green, your theoretical grades must have been excellent when you were at the Ninja Academy."

Inuzuka Midori's smile froze, as if she had been touched on a sore spot, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Why would a ninja need to know that a shuriken is moving at xx speed and then...? I could just knock him down with one punch, why not just not throw the shuriken?"

Why throw ten kunai every minute for xx hours? Don't kunai cost money? They're expensive!

Even after so many years since graduation, Inuzuka Midori still gets a headache whenever she thinks about the days of studying theory at the Ninja Academy. Thankfully, the graduation exam wasn't that one...

Otherwise, the future great ninja, Inuzuka Midori, might die young at school because he wouldn't be able to graduate.

As if realizing she had fallen for Kakashi's trick, Inuzuka Midori coughed twice and said, "None of that matters. People should look forward and not dwell on past glories."

"November 16th is Nagasawa's birthday!" Inuzuka Midori dropped this bombshell.

“Squad Leader Nagasawa has been so ‘caring’ for us, wouldn’t it be a shame if we didn’t give him a surprise on his birthday?” Inuzuka Midori urged, rubbing the large bump on her head.

Kakashi took two steps back, trying to distance himself from Inuzuka Midori to avoid being affected by Nagasawa's attack.

He felt that Nagasawa was definitely watching them from somewhere, and Inuzuka Midori's words were just asking for a beating.

Seeing Kakashi's actions, Inuzuka Midori scoffed and said, "Do you think Midori is the kind of person who acts without thinking? Midori's nose is sharper than that of an ordinary ninja dog. Nagasawa-san is no longer here."

"So, how are you going to surprise Squad Leader Nagasawa?" Kakashi asked curiously.

He wanted to see just how reckless Inuzuka Midori really was.

"Of course, we'll pretend we don't know it's his birthday first, then secretly prepare a cake and gifts, so he'll be moved to tears and thank Midori profusely," Midori Inuzuka said.

"That's it?" Kakashi was a little puzzled; this wasn't in line with Midori Inuzuka's usual style.

Chapter 45 Good-looking people look good in anything

"Then what do you think we should do?" Midori Inuzuka asked Kakashi in return.

Kakashi pondered for a moment, imagining himself as Inuzuka Midori, and considering what Midori would do under normal circumstances.

"They'll probably start by congratulating Squad Leader Nagasawa to lower his guard, and then give him a prank gift at the end."

Inuzuka Midori glared at Kakashi, "Class President Nagasawa is so good to us, teaching us secret techniques and training us. We finally get to celebrate his birthday, and you're trying to ruin it? You're inhuman!"

Kakashi: ...

So he's become an ungrateful bad person.

"You agree with Yanshui, right? Squad Leader Yongze has been so good to us, we should repay him properly."

Saltwater nodded. To be fair, although Yongze's training of them was very strict, it was precisely because of Yongze's responsibility towards them.

"Alright, I misunderstood you." Kakashi raised his hands in a French military salute.

“That’s more like it. A good child is one who has the courage to admit their mistakes,” Inuzuka Midori said to Kakashi in a tone befitting an elder.

This made Kakashi feel inexplicably annoyed. He could accept being criticized by Saltwater, after all, Saltwater was a very reliable teammate.

But when Inuzuka Midori called him a child, he always felt looked down upon. This guy really had no self-awareness at all, even though he acted more like a thirteen-year-old than he, who was thirteen years old.

Kakashi felt it was necessary to suggest to Nagasawa that they have an intra-team sparring session next time, so that Inuzuka Midori could experience the majesty of his genius Jonin.

……

……

After lunch, Nono, having washed the dishes, prepared to take a walk in the yard to clear her head.

Seeing someone sitting under a tree, circling around with a branch, Nono walked over out of curiosity.

At this hour, Kabuto should be reviewing his ninja academy textbooks, so why is he looking so idle here?

Walking over to the book, Nono smiled gently and said, "Kabuto, what's wrong? If you feel too much pressure from studying, you can take a few days off and not study."

Kabuto Mino arrived, looked up and shook her head, saying, "It's not about academics; I think those are pretty easy."

Nonou, somewhat curious, squatted down and continued to ask, "What is it? Can you share it with the Dean?"

After thinking for a moment, Dou said, "It's Yongze's birthday, and I want to give him a gift, but I don't know what to give him."

Although Nagasawa would bring food for everyone and tell stories to many people every time he visited the orphanage, Kabuto knew that Nagasawa was the best to him.

After all, Nagasawa never told anyone that he would send him to the ninja academy, cover the tuition, and personally teach him ninjutsu.

So Kabuto also wanted to repay Nagasawa by giving him a gift or something.

But here's the awkward part: he doesn't have the money to buy good gifts, and he's not exactly a craftsman either, so he can't make anything.

So Dou was really torn about what to give as a gift.

'As expected, you need money in the ninja world. With money, the headmaster will be happy and can buy nice gifts for Nagasawa-nii.' Kabuto thought to himself.

Nonou gently patted Kou's head and said softly, "Nagazawa likes you so much, he'll like anything you give him."

Kabuto squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the gesture. Unlike Nagasawa's rough and ravaging head pats, Nono's was gentle, like a breeze.

"Is this okay? It might not be a good idea," Kabuto said uncertainly.

"Doesn't Nagasawa like eating dango? Just make him a batch of dango, and add lots of red beans and strawberries. He's happier the sweeter it is anyway," Nono complained about Nagasawa's strange taste.

Once, out of curiosity, she took a bite of the special version of Nagasawa dumpling. It was so sweet that it made her frown.

Once, when Nagasawa stayed at the orphanage and went to a restaurant, Nonou advised him that he could just eat at the orphanage and then asked Nagasawa what he wanted to eat. Nagasawa then said he wanted a red bean rice bowl.
