Chapter 53
Once he figured it out, Guy felt completely enlightened.
He nodded and agreed, "Alright. When I have time, I'll introduce you to Kakashi. But whether or not he's willing to teach you the Hatake Kenjutsu will be up to you to earn."
"I understand. Thank you, Guy-sensei."
Natsuki thanked him once more with sincerity. Then he looked up with a big smile. "Guy-sensei, the Eight Gates are strong, and the Hatake Kenjutsu is strong too. If I master both, I'll definitely surpass you and become the strongest shinobi in Konoha!"
Guy was instantly fired up. "Good kid! That's the spirit! But if you want to surpass the Blue Beast of Konoha, you've still got a long way to go! Still, in honor of your youthful determination, I'm giving you this tight suit!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a green spandex suit from who-knows-where.
The moment Natsuki saw it, his scalp went numb.
Tenten couldn't take it anymore. She threw her arms out to block in front of Natsuki: "Absolutely not! I don't want my boyfriend turning into a kappa!"
But Lee looked extremely displeased. "What are you saying, Tenten? This is Guy-sensei's acknowledgment of Natsuki's youth! And how does it look like a kappa?! It's super cool!"
Guy loved that kind of recognition. Hearing this, he simply handed the spandex suit to Lee instead: "Lee! Since Tenten won't let Natsuki wear it, I'll give it to you. I've seen your youth and passion too. Wear this and go chase your dreams!"
"Ah! Thank you, Guy-sensei!"
Lee was moved to tears and hugged Guy tightly.
