CHAPTER 86
"Something else?"
Might Duy's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately leaned forward.
"What did you realize? A new Taijutsu move? Tell Dad quickly!"
Guy shook his head and organized his thoughts.
"It's not a move. It's a special Chakra circulation method."
"It can gradually but continuously strengthen the body's foundation, improve physical fitness, and even accelerate recovery from injuries."
What Guy was referring to was naturally the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic.
Duy's thick eyebrows shot upward, and his face immediately filled with immense surprise and pride.
He grinned from ear to ear, revealing his sparkling white teeth without the slightest hint of doubt.
"As expected of my son! To actually comprehend such a powerful secret technique on the battlefield!"
"Youth truly knows no limits! Hurry up and teach Dad!"
Seeing his father's complete trust and excitement, Guy felt warmth rise in his heart, but he also felt a sense of urgency.
There were only three days left.
He had to hurry.
"Alright, Dad. Sit down, relax your body, and carefully feel the flow of your Chakra."
Guy gestured for Duy to sit cross-legged and sat opposite him.
Then he began explaining the most fundamental and core circulation route of the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic in detail.
Duy wiped the smile from his face.
His expression became more focused and serious than ever before.
Following Guy's instructions, he guided the Chakra within his body along a strange yet exquisitely designed route.
At first, it was extremely awkward.
The Chakra flow broke repeatedly and was difficult to connect smoothly.
But who was Might Duy?
He was a man who had relied solely on perseverance and self-exploration to cultivate the Eight Gates to an astonishing level.
His understanding of his own body and his indomitable willpower far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Although his aptitude for precise Chakra control was poor, his thoroughly tempered physique and the most primitive understanding of his own energy, forged over more than twenty years of relentless training, became the best possible foundation.
Under Guy's repeated guidance and corrections, Duy quickly grasped the essentials.
The Chakra flow gradually became smoother.
One circulation.
Two circulations.
Three circulations.
Time slowly passed.
The setting sun's afterglow streamed through the window, stretching the shadows of the father and son across the floor.
Sweat continuously seeped from Duy's face.
Yet his brows remained tightly furrowed as he immersed himself completely in the process.
Guy carefully observed from the side and gradually relaxed.
Duy's progress was even faster than he had expected.
The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic emphasized building a foundation and making continuous improvements.
It was practically tailor-made for someone like Duy, who possessed a powerful physique, ordinary Chakra talent, and decades of extreme Taijutsu training.
It could quietly nourish the hidden injuries accumulated from years of cultivating the Eight Gates.
It could enhance his recovery abilities, strengthen his physical foundation, and greatly improve his survivability.
As for the other supreme techniques, such as the Great Vajra Leg, Vajra Finger, and Precept-Breaking Blade, Guy had no intention of teaching them for the time being.
Firstly, those techniques were fierce and violent, requiring higher aptitude while placing a tremendous burden on the body.
Their styles also did not necessarily fit Duy's existing Taijutsu system.
Secondly...
Guy glanced at Might Duy, who always practiced any new skill to the point of madness the moment he learned it.
He silently shook his head.
He understood this foolish father far too well.
If he taught Duy offensive supreme techniques, there was no guarantee that he would not overuse them on the battlefield to save someone or complete a mission.
Doing so would only increase the risks.
Before the Third Shinobi World War completely ended and the overall situation stabilized, Guy only intended to teach the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic.
That alone was enough to quietly maximize Duy's chances of survival.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Duy slowly exhaled a long breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.
Those eyes, always filled with passion and youthful fire, now contained indescribable shock and comfort.
"Son! You... you're incredible!"
Duy's voice trembled with excitement.
He jumped to his feet and began moving his limbs.
Then he touched his chest and abdomen.
"I only circulated it a few times according to the route you taught me, and I already feel..."
"I feel as though all the fatigue accumulated in my body has been washed away!"
"My breathing is smoother!"
"My mind feels unbelievably clear!"
"This... this secret technique is simply miraculous!"
He gestured excitedly while talking.
"If Dad had learned this twenty years ago..."
"I definitely would have become much stronger!"
"I definitely could have completed more missions, earned more money, and given you a better childhood..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.
His eyes began reddening again.
Tears slowly filled them.
Guy thought he was regretting lost opportunities and was about to comfort him.
"Dad, it's not too late now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duy suddenly pulled him into a tight embrace.
The strength was so great that Guy almost couldn't breathe.
Hot tears dripped onto his shoulder.
"No! Dad isn't sad!"
"Dad is happy!"
"Really happy!"
"It's wonderful!"
"It's wonderful that Guy managed to comprehend such an incredible secret technique at such a young age!"
"That means your body will become stronger and stronger!"
"Your foundation will become more and more solid!"
"Training Taijutsu will become easier!"
"And your injuries will heal faster!"
"This is... truly wonderful! Wuwuwu..."
Guy froze.
Then a warm current surged through his chest, making his nose feel slightly sour.
So this foolish father wasn't crying because he regretted not learning it earlier.
He was crying because he was genuinely happy.
Because he sincerely felt joy and gratitude that his son possessed such an opportunity.
Guy gently patted Duy's broad back and said softly:
"Dad, things will only keep getting better."
After crying for a while, Duy wiped his face messily with his sleeve.
Soon, he returned to his usual hot-blooded self.
Grabbing Guy's shoulders, he asked excitedly:
"Son, what's the name of this secret technique?"
"It's so powerful that it must have an impressive name!"
Guy looked at his father's expectant expression and fell silent for a moment.
Change the name?
Make something up?
But there seemed to be no need to hide it from the person standing before him.
He grinned, revealing white teeth almost identical to his father's.
"It's called the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic."
"Muscle-Tendon Change Classic... strengthening muscles, tendons, and meridians while improving Chakra circulation. That's a good name! Very fitting!"
Duy repeated it twice and nodded vigorously.
Then Guy's expression became serious.
"Dad, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this secret technique."
Might Duy was momentarily stunned.
Then his face also became solemn.
More serious than ever before.
"Guy, don't worry!"
"Dad will never tell anyone about this secret technique!"
"This belongs to you!"
"It's a realization you exchanged your life for on the battlefield!"
Seeing his father so serious, Guy quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even so, he still couldn't help but emphasize it again.
His tone became even heavier.
"Dad, remember."
"Not anyone."
"Even if Orochimaru-sama comes personally."
"Even if the Third Hokage-sama asks about my situation."
"You absolutely cannot mention the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic."
"This is extremely important."
Hearing this, Duy was visibly startled.
He hadn't expected his son to mention Konoha's highest-ranking figures so seriously.
Especially Orochimaru, the Legendary Sannin who had turned the tide at Mount Kikyo.
And the renowned Third Hokage.
But when he saw the unprecedented seriousness in Guy's eyes, he instinctively understood the weight of the matter.
The youthful enthusiasm on his face faded.
In its place appeared the heavy determination of a father protecting his child.
He nodded heavily.
Then he raised his fist and pounded his chest several times.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
His eyes were incomparably firm.
"Dad understands!"
"Guy, don't worry!"
"Even if Hokage-sama stands in front of me and asks personally, Dad will only say that my son's Taijutsu talent is unmatched in the world and that everything he achieved came from his own hard work!"
"As for anything else, Dad won't reveal a single extra word!"
Looking at his father's expression that clearly said, "Leave it to me," Guy finally felt completely reassured.
He knew very well that when it came to protecting his son, this seemingly simple-minded father possessed a persistence and reliability that few people in the entire world could match.
