Two figures, one large and one small, were running around Konoha.
Sweat was dripping down Genya's young face, and he was panting slightly. His clothes were almost soaked, but he kept running without stopping or taking a break.
He completed one lap, then another, and another. Genya ran five laps around the village without falling behind! Might Guy followed him, initially curious, then amazed, and finally shocked.
The boy, only three or four years old, managed to run five laps around the village non-stop?
His talent was extraordinary. If this kid decided to pursue Taijutsu, he'd achieve greatness in the future!
After five laps, Genya stopped in front of a grand house and walked in. As he entered, he turned and called out to Might Guy, "Big Eyebrow, see you tomorrow!"
Might Guy stared at Genya's eyes, filled with surprise. "Dual Pupils? Is he the Uchiha monster people talk about?"
He remembered hearing about an Uchiha with weird eyes, a monster with Dual Pupils, but he hadn't paid much attention then. Now, Genya was clearly a genius in Taijutsu, and his future achievements would surpass his own.
After a moment of hesitation, Might Guy decided to act and left quickly.
Genya went home, took a shower, had a meal, and then headed to the training ground.
The next day, Genya got up on time and went for his run as usual, with Might Guy following him. There was no need to visit the training ground today because Genya ran seven laps instead.
The two didn't speak.
And so, seven days passed. Genya continued his routine. Over these days, he adapted and began running faster, with greater agility and determination.
Might Guy glanced at Genya, who was being so persistent, and finally couldn't help it. He took a couple of quick steps and walked alongside Genya.
"Hey, kid, what's your name?" Might Guy asked, either intentionally or not. He actually knew Genya's name already but was just making small talk.
Genya took a breath and replied, "Uchiha Genya."
"Nice name!" Might Guy said with a thumbs up and continued running. He seemed to struggle with what to say next, as if he had never talked to a child before.
After they had run for a while, Might Guy asked, "Genya, would you be interested in learning taijutsu from me?"
Might Guy was sure that with Genya's talent, he would excel in taijutsu in the future, and he wanted to pass on his own unique skills to him.
"Learn taijutsu from you?" Genya slowed down and looked at Might Guy with a skeptical expression. "What can you teach me?"
Genya asked this deliberately to test Might Guy's reaction. He had already planned to learn Might Guy's taijutsu techniques.
"I'm Might Guy, the legendary Konoha's Noble Green Beast, and one of the best taijutsu instructors around! If you train with me, I'll teach you everything I know and help you become one of Konoha's top ninjas!" Might Guy boasted and finally laid out his offer. He was prepared to share all his knowledge with Genya.
Even though Might Guy could be a bit eccentric and fiery, he was true to his word. If he promised something, he would definitely deliver.
Genya's interest was piqued, and he looked at Might Guy. "You'll teach me everything you know?"
Might Guy nodded earnestly. "Yes!"
"Then show me some of your techniques first, so I can see what you've got," Genya said.
"Follow me!" Might Guy said without hesitation, leading Genya to a small grove. Among the sparse trees, there were a few chairs, suggesting that this was a spot for some old people to relax.
"Even though we're training our bodies, there's also a way to recover!" Might Guy said, looking at Genya with serious eyes. "This method involves refining chakra and then sending it into every cell in your body. This warms the cells, helping your tired body recover quickly and even boosting your physical strength!"
"Is there really such a method?" Genya asked, surprised. He hadn't expected such a technique.
"Yes, I'm going to teach you this recovery method today!" Might Guy said earnestly. "This technique is called the Chakra Infusion Technique. It refines chakra in each cell to enhance strength, and even allows cells to temporarily store chakra, which can be released in critical moments to increase combat power!"
"Chakra Infusion Technique?" Genya repeated the name. He had never heard of it before but was intrigued by the idea of warming cells and storing chakra temporarily.
He began practicing the Chakra Infusion Technique as instructed. Soon, he felt the chakra flow through his body, warming every cell. It was a strange but pleasant sensation.
His cells felt warm, and the fatigue from earlier that day seemed to fade away!
As expected from Might Guy's technique, the Chakra Infusion Technique was indeed impressive.
He raised his hand, and his Dual Pupils appeared, revealing a faint layer of chakra energy around his palms. This energy seemed to spread throughout his body!
Normally, ninjas concentrate their chakra in their Chakra Reserve, but now it was different. The chakra could be dispersed into every cell!
However, Genya suddenly realized a problem: the chakra in his body wasn't being absorbed by his Dual Pupils.
Could he store chakra in his cells in the future, turning his entire body into a large chakra storage? But then he felt a bit disappointed. The chakra stored in the cells seemed unstable, and he worried that it might dissipate during a fight. He knew he needed to improve his skills to store chakra more reliably.
The two continued their training, and before they knew it, night had fallen. Genya had absorbed all the lessons from Might Guy, including the renowned Konoha Whirlwind technique, which Genya executed with impressive skill.
Might Guy was astonished! Genya's talent was extraordinary. Whenever Might Guy taught him a Taijutsu technique, Genya mastered it almost immediately. This level of talent was rare in the entire ninja world, especially for a three-year-old.
"Is this all you can teach me?" Genya asked, clapping his hands and gazing at the darkening sky. "If I've learned everything, I'll be leaving!"
Having already absorbed the techniques with the help of his unique Dual Pupil eyes, Genya was eager to continue honing his skills. Might Guy, feeling a pang of frustration, replied, "Who said that's all I have to teach?"
