The morning sun rose as Naruto, Hinata, and Kushina finished breakfast. They were still adjusting to the subtle changes in Naruto's body. His once-white hair now displayed streaks of crimson and black, with the texture subtly faded, a sign of the growing power within him. Though he didn't notice the extent of the change, his instincts told him something was different. As the day moved on, they traveled to the training ground.
Might Guy was already in the middle of a rigorous workout, his muscles rippling as he executed flawless push-ups and jump squats, each movement a testament to his mastery over his body. His energy filled the air, and the very atmosphere seemed to buzz with the intensity of his workout. When Kushina arrived, he paused and turned, greeting her warmly.
"So, what's up, Ms. Uzumaki? What can I do for you?" Guy asked.
Kushina smiled. "Guy, no need for formalities. We know each other already."
Guy chuckled. "Well, yes, but still... so what do you need, Ms. Kushina?"
Kushina replied, "Today, I want you to train my kids in Taijutsu. I've taught them most of the basics, but they still need your expertise."
"Of course!" Guy said eagerly, his excitement evident. He was always ready to share his knowledge, especially with students as promising as Naruto and Hana.
They started with the warm-up routine, which included a series of exercises to prepare the body for the intense training ahead. Naruto and Hana followed Guy's lead, beginning with jumping jacks to loosen up their muscles and get the blood flowing. Afterward, they focused on stretching, particularly the legs and shoulders, to enhance flexibility and joint mobility. The warm-up ended with burpees, full-body movements designed to build endurance. Despite his natural physical prowess, Naruto struggled to maintain the pace at times, while Hana, though not as naturally gifted, showed immense determination, impressing Guy with her focus.
Once their bodies were prepared, Guy moved on to the core of the training: Taijutsu techniques. He stressed the importance of form and precision, starting with the Dynamic Entry. Guy demonstrated his signature move, a powerful spinning kick followed by a fast dash toward the target. "Speed, power, and surprise are the keys," he explained.
Naruto, with his immense Taijutsu talent, replicated the move effortlessly. His speed and power were on par with a seasoned fighter, and his execution was flawless. Guy praised him, but reminded him that speed alone wasn't enough. "You need control of your chakra to add that extra burst of power," he advised.
Naruto nodded and focused, executing the move again, this time with more control. His chakra flowed seamlessly with his movements, enhancing their efficiency and impact. Hana, who had hesitated slightly at first, soon followed suit. Her version wasn't as fast as Naruto's, but her form was impeccable. Guy nodded approvingly at both of them.
The next drill was the Leaf Hurricane, where Guy demonstrated the spinning kicks with rapid precision. Naruto adapted quickly, his movements sharp and fluid, his kicks bursting with power. "Naruto, you've got the speed and power for Taijutsu, but don't just rely on brute force. Add more precision to your movements," Guy instructed.
Naruto focused, executing the move again, this time with even more control, landing the final kick with such force that the air seemed to vibrate. Hana, though not as fast, showed great improvement, incorporating chakra into her kicks for added power.
To build muscle endurance, Guy had them perform one-finger push-ups and handstand push-ups. Naruto, thanks to his enhanced strength, breezed through the exercises with ease. Guy took a moment to correct Hana's form, reminding her to keep her back straight during the handstand push-ups. Though she struggled initially, Hana's determination quickly paid off, and she soon matched Naruto's form after several sets.
As the training progressed, Guy introduced more advanced Taijutsu techniques, such as unlocking the Eight Gates. He explained that this technique, though powerful, could also be dangerous, as it sacrificed stamina for enhanced strength. He warned them that overusing it could lead to severe fatigue.
Naruto, already familiar with controlling his energy to an extreme degree, activated the first gate. His body glowed with red chakra as his power surged exponentially. The system within him helped him maintain control, and he felt faster and stronger than ever.
"I can feel it… this power… it's like I can move faster than ever!" Naruto said, grinning.
Hana, eager to try it herself, activated the first gate with Guy's guidance. She felt an intense surge of power, but she struggled to maintain balance at first. With Guy's support, she managed to stay on her feet, although he advised them both to remain at the first gate for now until they gained more control over their abilities.
To conclude the training, Guy taught them a defensive Taijutsu move called the Nightingale Kick. This technique combined deflection and a powerful counter-kick. Guy demonstrated the fluid movements, his leg sweeping low before rising high to strike with precision. Naruto, instinctively adapting, performed the move on his first try, executing it flawlessly. Hana, after closely observing Guy, refined her version of the technique, improving with each attempt.
After hours of intense training, Guy called for a cool-down session, allowing Naruto and Hana to relax and stretch their muscles. He praised their efforts, emphasizing that Taijutsu wasn't just about raw power—it required precision, balance, and mastery over one's body.
"You both did well today," Guy said. "Keep pushing yourselves, and you'll become legends in your own right."
Naruto and Hana, drenched in sweat but grinning, knew that this was only the beginning of their journey. Their strength had grown, and with Guy's guidance, they were one step closer to mastering the art of Taijutsu.
