Chapter 14 Kakashi and Guy
Outdoor classes always excite the students. They chatted and laughed all the way as they followed Xingyuan Qianshuo to the third training ground.
Konoha Village has numerous training grounds.
Most are open to genin and chunin, allowing them to train freely; a few are restricted due to their extreme danger, such as the 44th training ground outside the village—"Death Forest".
The third training ground is the core training area within the village, encompassing various terrains such as forests, rivers, and hills, making it ideal for diverse live-fire exercises.
In the original Naruto manga, Team 7's two classic bell-fighting battles both took place here.
Located near the ninja academy, the training grounds were sparsely populated at this time of day, as it was morning.
"what?"
From afar, Xingyuan Qianshuo could see two figures locked in fierce combat on the field. Their fists and feet moved swiftly, their figures intersecting rapidly before separating in an instant.
The two men's features were so distinctive that he immediately recognized them.
Long silver hair, black mask; watermelon head, thick eyebrows, and a green bodysuit.
It was Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy, who had already graduated from Class 401.
"Kakashi! I'll definitely beat you this time!" Might Guy roared, charging forward again. "Burn, youth!"
"Stop, Kai! Pause!" Kakashi noticed that Xingyuan Qian Shuo and his group had entered the training ground and tried to stop the battle.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
However, Might Guy was completely absorbed in the attack. After a feinting high kick, he followed up with a fierce low kick, which struck Kakashi's hastily blocking left arm heavily.
Bang!
Kakashi was kicked away and his back hit a big tree, making it difficult for him to get up for a while.
"Ah! This is the radiance of youth! My blood is finally boiling!"
Matt Kai clenched his fists, roared excitedly, and even tears welled up in his eyes.
Eight times already! Since last year, he had suffered repeated defeats. But in this ninth physical duel, he finally achieved victory!
Kakashi, leaning against a tree, eased his body's pain and looked at the excited Guy with a hint of helplessness.
Although there were reasons for the defeat, he had already lost, and he wasn't afraid to admit it.
"Maybe... if Kai wins this time, he won't keep bothering me to challenge him?" That was the only way he could console himself.
"Kakashi, are you alright? Are you hurt?" After his initial excitement, Guy rushed over to check on him.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Kakashi waved his hand, and stood up on his own without letting Gai help him.
"Huh? Kakashi, did you just say something?" Gai scratched his watermelon head, belatedly remembering that he seemed to have heard Kakashi's voice during the battle.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
At this moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo's team of more than forty people had arrived nearby, naturally attracting Kai's attention.
"Kakashi! What are you doing here?!"
Obito, who had been circling around Nohara Rin, was very observant and found it hard to believe that he would encounter his "nemesis" here. It was like having a nightmare in broad daylight.
Rin Nohara also saw Kakashi and Guy, and her eyes lit up instantly, fixed on Kakashi.
She had rarely seen him since he graduated early, so this reunion felt like a dream come true.
Obito dashed forward, trying to block Kakashi and Rin's view. Unfortunately, his willpower wasn't strong enough to distort reality.
Kakashi simply ignored Obito's loud and boisterous manner—he was just a loser who often went off the rails.
"Hey! Daidu! Are you here to sweat it out too?" Matt Kai greeted him warmly.
"It's Obito! Not Obito!" Obito corrected him, speechless. "It's only been a little over half a year, and you've already forgotten my name, Guy!"
"Obito? But I always feel it should be Obito..." Might Guy scratched his head in confusion.
"Kakashi, Gai, it's been a long time." Nohara Rin and Shizune stepped forward to greet them.
"Rin, Shizune, it's been a long time." Kakashi nodded to the two of them.
Kai waved his hand without calling out a name, afraid of calling the wrong name again.
After exchanging pleasantries with several acquaintances, Xingyuan Qianshuo stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Xingyuan Qianshuo, the head teacher of the medical specialty class. I brought the students here for training."
"Kakashi Hatake".
"Hello teacher, my name is Matt Kai."
The two gave a brief response.
"A medical specialty student? Is this guy one too?" Kakashi pointed to Obito, who was staring at him the whole time.
"Kakashi! What do you mean?!" Obito immediately sensed the contempt in those words.
"Haha, Obito was a great help at the training course today," Hoshino Chisaku said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "I've heard of you guys. Fujiwara-sensei mentioned you two outstanding students from Class 1 who graduated early."
During their conversation, Xingyuan Qianshuo had already used the system to check on the two of them.
Name: Kakashi Hatake
[Condition: Mild contusion of the left forearm and mild contusion of the back muscles]
[Name: Matt Kai]
[Condition: Healthy]
"I am a medical ninja. Kakashi, you have bruises on your left arm and back. Let me treat you." Hoshino Senju tried to make his tone gentle.
"Uh, no need, it's just a minor injury, I'll be fine after a rest." Kakashi wasn't used to receiving treatment from strangers outside of a hospital, so he subconsciously refused.
"Don't be shy. This is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate medical ninjutsu to the students. Today is their first day of training, and everyone is very curious." Hoshino Senju didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
"That's right, Kakashi! Once he's healed, let's continue with the next duel!" Guy excitedly chimed in.
"I demonstrated for Teacher Chisaku today! Unlike someone else!" Obito also took the opportunity to say disdainfully.
Kakashi glanced at the curious looks from the students around him, and after listening to what these people were saying, he seemed somewhat hesitant.
Xingyuan Qianshuo didn't give him another chance to refuse, and stepped forward, saying, "Don't move, it'll be over soon."
Palm Immortal Technique!
He quickly formed hand seals, and emerald green chakra condensed in his palm, covering Kakashi's left arm.
Before long, Kakashi's bruises on his arms and back had healed.
For ninjas, they usually have high resistance to injuries caused by blunt force or impacts. Using an A-rank palm technique to treat such a minor contusion is a waste of their talents.
But special personnel naturally receive special treatment.
[You have healed Kakashi Hatake's minor muscle contusions in his left forearm and back. Reward: Shadow Clone Technique (Proficient), Chakra +50]
Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at the system notification and immediately claimed the reward.
Memories of cultivating and using the Shadow Clone Technique instantly flooded my mind.
He never expected to obtain the Shadow Clone Technique this time. This is one of the most practical ninjutsu for ninjas, which can create physical clones to fight together or carry out missions.
Its advanced version, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," is the protagonist Naruto's signature ninjutsu, used not only in battle but also to greatly accelerate training progress.
However, since Xingyuan Qianshuo has neither Naruto's physique nor such a massive amount of chakra, this technique offers limited direct assistance to him in combat and training.
What he values more is the convenience of having shadow clones to handle miscellaneous tasks for the main body, or to take risks in place of the main body when carrying out reconnaissance missions.
