Naruto: The Nine-Tails' Legacy

"No… that's not right."

Minato suddenly reacted.

"I've seen people with incredibly fast Body Flicker Techniques before. There are definitely shinobi whose movements I can't fully track."

"You don't even need to mention the fastest one, Shisui Uchiha. Even Kakashi Hatake's Body Flicker occasionally fools my eyes."

"But!"

Guy suddenly clenched his fists and looked toward the sky with tears streaming down his face.

"Compared to them, how old are you?!"

"And yet I still can't see through your movement technique!"

"Ah… well… I…"

Naruto had not expected the topic to shift so abruptly.

Just as he was about to explain what he had done, Guy suddenly punched the air and roared loudly:

"As expected, only youthful passion can make one's youth truly burn!"

"The badge of youth is hot-blooded spirit!"

"I'm fired up now!"

"Hey kid, what's your name?!"

"M-My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"Naruto-kun!"

"How exactly did you learn such an amazing movement technique?!"

Guy had clearly become excited.

He completely ignored the Hyūga group now and immediately grabbed Naruto while firing questions nonstop.

"To learn a movement technique that powerful, you must've trained since childhood, right?!"

"Did you run hundreds of kilometers through the forest every day?!"

"No—thousands?!"

"Yosh! Take me there right now so I can try it too!"

Before Naruto could refuse, Guy already dragged him into the forest area of the training ground and vanished from sight.

The Hyūga group was left staring blankly at one another.

"So… are we safe now?"

Hyūga Kōsa turned toward Ichita in disbelief.

"Did that kid just save us?"

"…Even though I don't think Guy had any bad intentions, you're not wrong."

Hyūga Ichita seemed to realize something and quickly turned toward Hinata.

"In any case, Lady Hinata, let's return first."

"Naruto-kun…"

Hinata looked worriedly toward the direction where Naruto and Guy had disappeared.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by them, several masked Anbu figures hurriedly followed after the two.

Inside the forest, Guy was currently dragging Naruto around at incredible speed while leaping wildly between trees.

The movements were both astonishingly fast and absurdly ridiculous at the same time.

Especially since little Naruto dangled from Guy's grip like a ribbon fluttering in the wind.

His eyes had already turned into spirals from dizziness.

"Whew! Six minutes and thirty seconds!"

"I broke my previous warm-up record again!"

"What a beautiful start to youth!"

Only after Naruto was nearly shaken unconscious did Guy finally stop.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled comfortably.

"Ugh… bleeegh!"

The moment Naruto's feet touched the ground again, he immediately vomited out his half-digested breakfast.

The world spun around him while golden stars filled his vision.

"Mm. Looks like nobody else followed us here."

Guy scanned the surroundings.

After confirming the Anbu tails he sensed earlier had failed to catch up, he turned toward Naruto and suddenly dropped his goofy expression.

"U-Uncle… what are you trying to do…?"

Naruto wiped his mouth in shock and looked upward.

That sprint earlier had been unbelievably fast.

Was this thick-eyebrowed uncle even human?!

"I need to tell you something."

Guy's expression was extremely serious and sincere now.

Not once did he mention the earlier nonsense about learning Naruto's movement technique anymore.

Meanwhile, inside the Hyuga Clan compound—

Hiashi Hyuga frowned while listening to Ichita and Kōsa's report.

"An extremely powerful movement technique?"

"Yes."

"The Nine-Tails brat… ah, no—Naruto Uzumaki's movement technique is incredibly powerful."

"He actually protected Lady Hinata from a jōnin-level shinobi."

"Clan Head, a Konoha shinobi openly attacked Lady Hinata. Regarding this matter—"

"I already understand. You may leave."

Hiashi interrupted them with a wave of his hand.

Then, just before leaving the room, he gave an order that completely confused the two guards.

"Oh, right."

"You two should spread the information that Naruto Uzumaki knows a movement technique."

"The more people who hear about it, the better."

After Hiashi departed, Kōsa and Ichita stared at each other in confusion.

"Why would the Clan Head want us to do something like that?"

"Maybe he wants this matter spread publicly so he can pressure the higher-ups in Konoha?"

"After all, Might Guy is a Tokubetsu Jōnin. Maybe public pressure is the only way to…"

"Forget it."

"The Clan Head gave the order, so we'll just follow it."

Outside the room, Hiashi's pale Byakugan eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia.

"So… it truly was your Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Back in the forest—

"I'm really sorry."

Guy patted Naruto's shoulder apologetically.

"My curiosity ended up exposing such an incredible technique of yours."

"But thankfully, not many people know about it."

"They probably won't recognize what this technique really is."

"You just need to remember one thing."

"Try not to use this technique in front of others whenever possible."

"And also…"

Guy looked at Naruto seriously.

"Remember that your movement technique is unbelievably powerful. Understood?"

Yes.

Guy had intentionally acted foolish to help cover for Naruto.

In truth, by the second time Naruto used it, Guy had already recognized exactly what technique it was.

It was the signature space-time ninjutsu once feared throughout the shinobi world—

The Fourth Hokage's legendary technique.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique.
