Chapter 30 Might Guy: Kakashi, I'm very busy right now...
"My first best friend...!"
As the sun set, Matt Kai's tears streamed down his face, soaking his green athletic tracksuit.
He had only hoped that Uchiha Ike would acknowledge him as his friend.
But to everyone's surprise, Uchiha Ike directly uttered those two words.
Best friend, that's a word a hundred times more youthful than just friend!
Even Kakashi, whom he considered his nemesis, always refused to become his close friend with a cold face.
But now, everything is different...
Thinking of this, Matt Kay couldn't help but turn his head, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the first close friend he had ever made since birth:
"Ike-san, let's run back together!"
Uchiha Ike looked at Might Guy, whose face was full of enthusiasm, pondered for a few seconds, and then nodded and smiled:
"Okay, let the sunset witness our youth together."
Matt Kai shuddered again upon hearing this.
"Is the setting sun a metaphor for lost youth?"
He covered his eyes tightly and nodded emphatically, saying, "Chi-san, what you said is absolutely right!"
No matter the time, Uchiha Ike can accurately describe the emotions he cannot express.
What is a best friend? This is a best friend!
What is youth? This is youth!
"very good."
Matt Kai wiped away his tears, revealing an incredibly determined look in his eyes, and raised his index finger high towards the setting sun.
"Start sprinting at full speed now! Before Ike-san returns to Konoha, do 300 diamond push-ups under the Shadow Rock!"
Having said that, he transformed into a green afterimage, weaving back and forth among the giant trees, rushing swiftly towards Konoha, and disappearing into the layers of shadows in the blink of an eye.
[The tests all stemmed from Matt Kay's emotional fluctuations!]
[Gain 15 points and increase defense by 3%!]
Watching Might Guys's retreating figure, a hint of guilt appeared in Uchiha Ike's eyes.
"Sorry, Kaisan." He shook his head regretfully, "I forgot about you while chatting with Lin..."
Youth is not just about passion and sweat; it often includes well-intentioned lies as well.
At noon, he made his first friend in this world, Nohara Rin.
So now, Matt Kay is only his first close friend.
Uchiha Ike wasn't trying to lie; he just wanted everyone to be happy.
"I'm such a kind and considerate person," Uchiha Ike thought to himself.
As he strolled leisurely along Matt Kai's departure route, he pondered how many more "firsts" he still had left to use.
My first partner, my first confidant, my first brother, my first best friend, my first nemesis...

Inside Konoha Village, beneath the Hokage Rock.
Kakashi crossed his arms and leaned against a tree trunk, looking aloof and dashing.
He squinted his dead fish eyes, calmly observing everything around him, but a question gradually arose in his mind:
Why hasn't Might Guy been training lately?
A few days ago, he declined Might Guy's challenge to a duel.
At that time, he wanted to practice the secret sword techniques of his Hatake clan on his own.
Overall, the training went smoothly, and Kakashi felt that his swordsmanship had improved again.
After emerging from seclusion, he wanted to find a ninja specializing in taijutsu to spar with and test his progress.
Might Guy, who was skilled in using nunchucks and other cold weapons, was naturally the best candidate Kakashi could think of.
Might Guy usually trains his taijutsu under the Hokage Rock.
So for the past two days, Kakashi has been coming here whenever he has free time, ready to challenge his opponent to a duel.
however--
Might Guy hasn't been here to train for two days in a row.
Did they move to a different location?
Or was he seriously injured?
Or perhaps he has become completely disillusioned with physical skills and decided to give up training altogether?
But his father once said that that guy would become his rival in the future...
As one guess after another flashed through his mind, Kakashi felt his thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic.
"call......"
He exhaled a breath of stale air, glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear below the horizon, shook his head to gather his thoughts, and prepared to wait a little longer.
If the sun sets and Matt Kai hasn't shown up, then just go home.
Just as this thought popped into Kakashi's mind...
He saw something approaching in the distance.
"...Hmm?" Kakashi squinted at him.
A green blur dashed forward like lightning, arriving at the foot of Fire Shadow Rock from the horizon in a few seconds, where it began to thrust and roll.
It was Matt Kai who had disappeared for two consecutive days.
finally come.
Kakashi's spirits lifted, and he stepped out from under the shade of the tree: "Might Guy, let's duel!"
As he spoke, Kakashi drew his short sword and began some simple warm-up exercises.
In his view, Matt Kay, who considered him his arch-rival, would never refuse the invitation.
But next second.
Might Guy, who was doing push-ups on the ground, did not jump up happily as Kakashi had expected.
He glanced up and recognized Kakashi: "It's Kakashi. You want a duel?"
What do you mean I want a duel? Isn't this what you've always wanted?
Kakashi found it a little strange, but nodded nonetheless: "That's right, your favorite unlimited duel..."
But before he could finish speaking, Matt Kai abruptly interrupted him.
"I'm very busy right now, contact me later."
"Hmm?" Kakashi, who was almost finished warming up, stiffened slightly and looked at Might Guy with a surprised expression.
How could that be?
How could Might Guy refuse his duel invitation?
However, Matt Kay offered no explanation and simply continued doing push-ups in silence.
"40......60......80......"
Kakashi stood there, staring blankly at Might Guy, his thoughts unknown.
"120......140......160......"
"260......280......300!"
Kakashi didn't approach again until Might Guy finished doing 300 push-ups in one go and sat down to rest.
"Is it time for the duel?"
Kakashi paused for a moment, then added, "I can wait until you've rested before we begin..."
But Matt Kai interrupted him again.
"Kakashi..."
Might Guy raised his mushroom-shaped haircut and stared blankly at Kakashi: "Didn't I tell you to come later?"
Kakashi was speechless when he saw Might Guy's clear yet foolish eyes.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. He only felt that the hot-blooded fool he had known for several years seemed to have undergone some changes that he was unaware of...
"How late exactly is 'late'?"
Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, then, seemingly somewhat unwilling, asked, "What do you have to do right now?"
"Well, I don't know how late it will be."
Matt Kai scratched his head in frustration and said, "Dad's going to give me extra practice later... But!"
As if he had just thought of something, Matt Kai smiled, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.
"I'm going to go eat Ichiraku Ramen with my best friend first!"
