Chapter 40: Guy-Sensei, Go Find Him at the Ninja Academy
On one hand, Uchiha Akira knew that Might Guy would become incredibly strong in the future. On the other hand, this injury happened partly because of him.
So, Uchiha Akira deliberately got closer to Might Guy, wanting to build a good relationship with him.
What he didn't expect was to gain the opportunity to learn the Eight Gates technique!
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Might Guy had grown up facing rejection and strange looks from others, similar to how Naruto Uzumaki was treated.
Naturally, someone who lacked love would deeply cherish anyone who showed them kindness!
In the original story, Might Guy's only true friend was Kakashi.
And that friendship was something Might Guy pursued relentlessly, almost like a loyal follower, similar to how Naruto constantly pursued Sasuke.
Kakashi actually knew the Eight Gates too, but his mastery was not as high.
Perhaps Uchiha Akira was the first person to willingly approach Might Guy on his own.
Given his reputation as a genius, Might Guy likely feared that his Eight Gates technique would be lost, which is why he was eager to pass it on to Uchiha Akira.
To be honest, when Might Guy first offered to teach him, Uchiha Akira was quite surprised.
But after thinking it over, it made perfect sense.
Seeing that Uchiha Akira didn't refuse, Might Guy was pleased and eagerly explained the entire Eight Gates training method.
He even asked Uchiha Akira to activate his two-tomoe Sharingan to observe his Leaf Village- style taijutsu!
After all, the Eight Gates technique isn't complete without taijutsu to go along with it!
With his two-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Akira was able to perfectly memorize and replicate Might Guy's taijutsu movements, though his strength and speed were still far from matching Might Guy's.
However, in terms of technique, they were identical!
So, with one teaching and the other learning, time flew by quickly!
The training ground wasn't a private place, so as they practiced, a few Konoha ninjas passed by occasionally.
Seeing Uchiha Akira learning taijutsu from Might Guy, the "noble beast," left many surprised.
...
Just like that, an entire day passed in the blink of an eye.
By the time Uchiha Akira had managed to roughly replicate Might Guy's Leaf Village-style taijutsu and memorize the Eight Gates training method, the sky was already beginning to darken.
"Alright, let's call it a day. Akira, I'm heading home now. The Sharingan truly is a powerful tool!"
After a day of teaching, seeing Uchiha Akira almost mastering his taijutsu, Might Guy sighed with admiration before turning to leave.
"Wait, Guy-sensei!" Uchiha Akira called out after hesitating for a moment as he watched Might Guy walk away.
"Is there something else?" Might Guy turned back.
"Guy-sensei, you should know by now that I sometimes have a bit of a prophetic ability, allowing me to see glimpses of the future," Uchiha Akira began.
"Yes, I remember. It's a very mysterious ability!" Might Guy nodded.
On their way back to Konoha, Uchiha Akira had predicted Orochimaru's attack a day in advance.
Sure enough, they encountered him the next day!
"In fact, I know you'll have a student in the future. His personality, even his appearance, right down to the thick eyebrows, is exactly like yours. No one would doubt it if you said he was your son!" Uchiha Akira explained.
Indeed, in the original story, both Rock Lee and Might Guy were modeled after Bruce Lee by Kishimoto.
Naturally, the two of them, one large and one small, were like copies of the same template! "Huh?" Hearing this news suddenly, Might Guy's face showed a look of astonishment!
He had thought he might never have a disciple in his lifetime, but now Akira was telling him that he would have one?
And that this disciple would be nearly identical to him in every way?
"Guy-sensei, you should go to the Ninja Academy and look for a student named Rock Lee, who's known as the 'Hot-Blooded Dead Last!'"
Uchiha Akira didn't offer further explanation, simply providing Might Guy with information about Rock Lee.
In the original story, it was Kakashi who introduced Rock Lee to Might Guy.
Now, Uchiha Akira didn't mind making the introduction early!
"Alright, Akira, I'll remember that!" Might Guy nodded firmly, and the two of them went their separate ways, each heading home.
Back at home, Keiko handed over a sum of money.
"Young master, this is the mission payment that Shisui-sensei brought over earlier today, a total of 130,000 ryo!" Knowing Uchiha Akira's love for money, Keiko presented it to him
immediately.
"Finally, some more money! It's been seven or eight days since I last used it for life simulations!"
Having just returned from the mission, Uchiha Akira was delighted as he received the money.
