Naruto: Strength Through Teaching

Chapter 108: Skyrocketing Proficiency

Just as Kakashi was strolling around nearby, he happened to witness this scene. However, when he arrived, Guy was already half kneeling on the ground. Just as Kakashi was about to make a move, Guy suddenly erupted, instantly surpassing both of them.

Kakashi couldn't quite comprehend the sudden burst of power from Guy. Now he truly believed what his father had said before – Guy would indeed become his formidable rival, perhaps even surpassing him.

"Of course, because I'm the hard-working genius recognized by Yumi-sensei!" Guy raised his thumb, revealing an extremely radiant smile, his two rows of shining white teeth particularly dazzling.

After saying that, Guy's body couldn't help but fall backward. The previous outburst had exhausted him too much.

Kakashi quickly caught Guy.

"Next time, remember to save enough strength to walk back home. Otherwise, your father will worry about you." Kakashi carried Guy on his back and headed towards Guy's house.

"Haha, isn't it great to have a close friend like you?" Guy laughed.

"I can't always be there at the right moment." Kakashi said speechlessly.

After escorting Guy to his doorstep and watching as Guy was received by Might Duy, Kakashi turned around and left.

Today's Guy really surprised him.

Even now, Kakashi couldn't figure out how Guy suddenly burst out with such immense power with those last two kicks. He should have been exhausted.

"Hatake, sensei said we have a mission tomorrow. Remember not to be late."

On his way home, Kakashi encountered two teammates looking for him.

"Okay." Kakashi nodded coldly, without saying a word, and walked straight towards his home.

"He's so aloof. One would think we owed him money." One teammate couldn't help but comment.

"He never joins group training, never practices coordination, but he's quite enthusiastic about missions."

...

Although he was very tired, after finishing his meal, Guy still went to see Mutsuki.

He went there every day. Just thinking of not going, Guy felt that Mutsuki might worry about him. Plus, he needed to report to Mutsuki about the breathing technique.

"Yumi-sensei, I suddenly entered a state while fighting just now. My strength and speed increased, even my tired legs were filled with energy again." Guy told Mutsuki about what happened in the afternoon.

However, he tried to talk about the fight process lightly, not mentioning how tired he was at the end.

Mutsuki directly opened the assessment to check Guy's proficiency in the breathing technique.

Skill: Stone Breathing (Pre-Beginner: 17/100)

Mutsuki was shocked. Just yesterday, Guy's proficiency was zero, and today it had skyrocketed to seventeen.

What kind of concept was this? Yesterday, Obito had the highest proficiency, but it was only six. Guy had jumped from zero to seventeen, nearly tripled Obito's.

Based on Guy's words, Mutsuki analyzed that the situation at the time must have been quite dire, and Guy was well-suited for practicing Stone Breathing. His thoughts at the time also aligned with Stone Breathing, so his potential was ignited, comprehending all the content Mutsuki had previously taught him at once, causing his proficiency to soar.

"Today, you should refrain from practicing. Just sit and watch Obito and the others practice for a while," Mutsuki said.

Guy didn't insist and nodded in agreement.
