Chapter 39: Guy in the Training Ground
After using the Clone Jutsu so many times that even Orion couldn't remember, the chakra in his body was almost completely used up. After his chakra was depleted, a sense of fatigue suddenly arose in his mind. This was mental fatigue.
However, Orion didn't plan to go back and rest just yet. He could still perform physical training now. He would go back when his body was also incomparably exhausted. But by that time, Orion estimated it would be around dusk.
At that time, he would go back and see if his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, had returned. If she was back, he would eat at home. If not, Orion would just eat something outside, then lie down in bed and sleep. After sleeping until dawn, he would get up and continue his day of training.
After Orion's chakra was nearly depleted, his mind had already automatically blocked the system's reminders. If it hadn't, then wouldn't the system's prompt, "Proficiency +1," automatically sound every time he used the Clone Jutsu from the Basic Three Academy Jutsu?
For physical training, I think it's better to use taijutsu. Because many taijutsu techniques require a strong body to be executed, and using taijutsu happens to increase taijutsu proficiency while training the body. This way, he could kill two birds with one stone.
The taijutsu Orion had learned so far were only the Leaf Whirlwind, Leaf Strong Wind, and Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms. He didn't know any others besides these three. But for now, these three should be enough. He would use these three ninjutsu to train his body and, at the same time, increase the proficiency of these three techniques while training.
Killing two birds with one stone. And so, with this thought in mind, Orion began his physical training. "Ha! Leaf Strong Wind!"
The Leaf Strong Wind was a high-speed attack aimed at the enemy's lower body while in a semi-squatting position. But now, there was no enemy. He could only squat down and perform a full-circle sweep at his fastest speed.
Just as the Leaf Strong Wind was executed, the system's prompt sounded in my mind again.
"Ding! The proficiency of the host's taijutsu, Leaf Strong Wind, has increased by one. The proficiency of the host's body strength has increased by +1."
However, this kind of system prompt had long been automatically blocked by his brain, so Orion didn't hear it at all.
"Hah! Leaf Whirlwind! Leaf Strong Wind! Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms!"
Basically, I used each of these three taijutsu once. Due to my use, the proficiency of these three techniques also slowly increased.
The sun gradually set. At this time, the strength in my body was basically being used in an overdrawn state, constantly breaking through my original limits.
"Thud."
Suddenly, Orion fell to the ground. Sweat was constantly streaming from his forehead. Pea-sized beads of sweat dripped down. Besides his forehead, his entire body was also covered in sweat. Orion was panting heavily because he was simply too tired. Right now, he didn't even have the strength to move and could only lie prone on the ground to rest.
"Huff... huff..."
Finally, after a period of time, a trace of strength returned to Orion's body. After his body recovered a bit, Orion eagerly ran to the small stream he had discovered when he first came to this place, took off his clothes, and jumped directly into the clear stream where you could see the bottom.
And the fish and shrimp that had been swimming around in the stream were all scared away by my action. "Ah, this feels so good."
His originally scorching body was instantly cooled down in this icy stream. What a cool and refreshing feeling. Orion narrowed his deep black eyes and rested in this small stream for a while.
After resting, he walked out, circulated the trace of chakra that had just recovered, and used it to instantly dry his body. After his body was dry, he put on his clothes and prepared to go home directly.
Orion walked slowly, his mind wandering. Slowly, some people appeared around me. At this time, he had already left the outskirts of Konoha and returned to the village.
Walking onto the streets of Konoha, the streets that were originally bustling with people were now gradually becoming sparse. There weren't as many people as there were at noon.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Suddenly, such a sound came from a distance. Unconsciously, Orion slowly walked towards the source of that sound.
As he walked, the sound grew louder and louder. I activated the Eye of God and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that the sound that was attracting my attention was coming from a training ground.
Because the Eye of God consumed a relatively large amount of chakra, I deactivated it after knowing the source of the sound.
I wonder who is still training in the training ground now that it's already evening?
With curiosity, Orion walked towards that training ground. Soon, I reached the vicinity of the training ground and stood beside it, watching the person inside.
In the training ground, there were many large trees. These trees were specially prepared for ninjas. The trees could be used for tree-climbing training, which could enhance one's chakra control ability. The trees could also be used as an enemy to be struck at frantically.
In front of a large tree in the center of the training ground, a figure in green was covered in sweat, constantly panting for breath. He was using all his strength to strike at that tree. From his unstable breathing, one could tell that the person was training very hard.
Orion watched the figure of the man in the green jumpsuit in the center of the training ground. Every move he made could produce powerful force. Every strike on the large tree would emit a dull, thumping sound. And after that, many leaves would fall from the tree due to this powerful strike.
And he was also secretly muttering, "If I can do ten thousand punches today, then I'll challenge Kakashi tomorrow. If I win, then I'll run thirty laps around the Konoha ninja village."
"If I lose the challenge against Kakashi, then it means my strength is still not enough, so I'll do ten thousand kicks."
Orion looked at that green figure and the familiar lines, and guessed with doubt in his heart, This... is this Konoha's Blue Beast, Might Guy?
Although Orion had seen a part of the original work in his past life and had long known about the insanity of Guy's training, now that he was truly seeing this scene with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked. I hadn't expected that it was already so late, yet Guy was still here, training frantically by himself.
Compared to Guy, it seems I'm still far too behind. Just in terms of the level of craziness, I can't compare at all. No wonder in the original work, Guy could become extremely powerful just by relying on his physical body. If he opened the Eight Gates, he would be even stronger. Beating up a Kage-level opponent wouldn't be impossible.
And I also know that Guy usually sets some strange rules for himself. Like today, he has to do ten thousand kicks. If he can't do it, then he'll do ten thousand punches. If he can't do that either, then he'll do two thousand push-ups.
If all of these were completed, he could then challenge his rival in his heart, Kakashi. If he lost the challenge, Guy would continue to train his body so frantically, using every possible opportunity to get stronger.
