Chapter 222 Transition
There are drizzles of rain in the sky.
In front of the Konoha Memorial Monument.
A young man wearing a green tights, with a watermelon-like head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, was kneeling in front of a tombstone, staring blankly at the name and photo on the tombstone.
"Kay..."
With a toothpick in his mouth, Genma Shiranui gently placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, and looked at Might Guy with some concern, who had been here for who knows how long.
"Uncle Dai is trying to save us..."
Ebisu, wearing sunglasses, clenched his fists, placed the offerings he brought in front of the tombstone with a guilty tone and expression, and said with his head down.
As a team of three, they didn't expect to encounter the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village during the mission. What they didn't expect was that when they thought they were going to die, they were saved by the father of their team mate.
They didn't expect that a guy who was talked about a lot in the village, who was always carrying out Genin missions, who always failed to be promoted to Chunin, and who gave people the impression of being a funny and weird uncle, could actually shine so brightly when he tried his best.
Seven people can conquer a small country. They are also well-known strong men in the Hidden Mist Village. After the fight with Might Dai, four of them were eliminated, and the remaining three were either injured or scared and fled quickly.
But even though he had performed such a miraculous feat, his life quickly faded away. When Might Guy and his companions rushed back with reinforcements, all they saw was Might Dai and the bodies of the four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had died with their eyes open.
"Kay, I brought you some food."
Genma Shiranui didn't know how to comfort Might Guy, so he could only put the food he had prepared wrapped in oil paper into Guy's hands.
"You have to cheer up, Kai. Uncle Dai doesn't want to see you like this." Ebisu said worriedly.
"I'm fine." Might Guy suddenly spoke, his voice a little hoarse. He took the food handed to him by Genma Shiranui and stood up from the ground. His legs were numb from maintaining the same posture for too long and he almost fell when he stood up. However, his regularly exercised body allowed him to react quickly, and he stabilized his body before his companions around him could support him.
After taking a last look at Might Guy's tombstone, Might Guy took the initiative to move his feet and began every training he had done with his father when he was in the village.
One hundred and eleven!
One hundred and twelve!
When Might Guy was training walking upside down, a pair of feet suddenly blocked his way. Might Guy raised his head and tried to get around the other person, but was blocked by the other person again.
"Kakashi!"
"Kakashi!"
The voices of Genma Shiranui and Ebisu let Might Guy know who was standing in front of him.
"Want to go for a walk with me?"
Kakashi looked at Might Guy who stood up and took the initiative to invite him.
Shiranui and Genma looked at the silent two people, and wisely gave up their seats, not following behind Might Guy out of concern. They knew that Kakashi and Might Guy had a certain competitive relationship, and the two were very familiar with each other. After watching the two figures disappear in the rain, they looked at each other and tacitly went to the nearest training ground.
Having experienced war and the shadow of death, they have deeply realized the importance of their own strength. Although they are already the best among the Genin, and can even fight against some Chunin, this is still not enough.
"Shouldn't you be on a mission outside the village?" Might Guy followed Kakashi. Whenever he saw Kakashi in the past, he would always chase after him and want to have a hearty fight, even though Kakashi's strength had improved by leaps and bounds in recent years and had left him far behind.
But today he couldn't think of that.
"Go back to the village with the teacher to rest for a while." Kakashi didn't want to say much about his teacher's wife Kushina returning to the village for a health check. But he did beg to go back to the village with his teacher and his wife after hearing the news that Might Dai had died in the battle.
Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are an elite assassination team pushed out by Kirigakure, their strength is recognized throughout the ninja world. After all, they have been active in Konoha as a team for such a long time and are still alive and well, so their strength is indeed unquestionable.
Therefore, their death would naturally not be as silent as that of ordinary ninjas.
"Are you looking for me because you are worried about my condition? Don't worry about me! I won't be devastated by the blow!" Might Guy rubbed his eyes. Although he was a bit stubborn and carefree, he was not ignorant. He used to be very sensitive, but under his father's guidance, he gradually forgot and ignored those weird looks and bad voices.
He knew that Genma Shiranui and Kakashi were worried about him, but although he was still immersed in grief, he had begun to cheer himself up.
Training, crazy training, is the way for him to come out quickly and cheer up. During training, he seems to feel that his father is still with him.
"I'm not worried about you." Kakashi's expression relaxed, "Go to the hospital once you have time. Lady Tsunade wants to see you."
"Tsunade-sama?" Might Guy was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know why Tsunade wanted to see him. The only thing he and his father had with Tsunade was that before she left the village, she had prepared some medicine for them to nourish their bodies and relieve the injuries caused by overtraining. Other than that, they had no more extra interactions and relationships with Tsunade.
Might Guy couldn't understand why Tsunade would want to see him.
"I received this instruction when I accompanied someone to the hospital for a physical examination."
In fact, it was Tsunade who took over this task from him when Tsunade gave instructions to her subordinates before examining Kushina's body.
Although his relationship with Might Guy cannot be said to be very good, during the years when he was paranoid, the only people who had contact with him and could tolerate him, besides Obito and Rin, were Might Guy, who was equally persistent.
In addition, he had witnessed his father's death and understood the shock to his heart at that moment. He was afraid that Might Guy would fall into the same paranoia as he had.
But now it seems that Might Guy's mentality is much better and more resilient than he was at that time. At least he did not close his heart and numbly refuse to communicate with the outside world.
"Since you're okay, come with me to the hospital. Lady Tsunade is still waiting for you." Kakashi sighed.
Might Guy nodded.
When the two arrived at the hospital to see Tsunade, Tsunade was talking to Kushina in the ward, while Minato Namikaze was standing outside the door. When he saw Kakashi and Might Guy coming, he waved to them.
