"368, 369…" "432, 433…"
In the dilapidated house, two figures, one big and one small, were frantically going up and down.
But just then, a "pfft, pfft" sound came from the kitchen…
The water was boiling!
"Ha, I'm about to burn up!"
Might Guy wiped the sweat from his brow, smiling and nodding. "After I fill the water, we'll do 500 frog jumps!"
"You idiot…"
Itsuki lay on the ground weakly, his small body radiating heat like a cooked shrimp.
He was completely exhausted…
"Glug, glug…"
The sound of Might Dai filling the water came from the kitchen, and Itsuki couldn't help but feel thirsty.
"Right, the potion I got today."
Itsuki took the green energy potion from his system's space, popped the lid, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Glug, glug…"
The light green potion rolled down Itsuki's throat, rushing eagerly to his limbs and body.
In an instant, Itsuki suddenly felt as if his energy was fully restored. He couldn't help but jump up, his eyes shining with renewed vigor!
Just one potion, and it had completely wiped away his fatigue. Itsuki's current state was simply the best it had ever been!
"Itsuki, can you feel it? That burning youth?"
Seeing Itsuki back to his lively self, Might Guy's eyes almost burned with excitement. "Come on, let's keep training, burn with youth!"
With that, Might Guy put down the water bottle and started training with Itsuki again.
500 indoor frog jumps, begin!
Half an hour later…
"Whew…"
Even Might Guy couldn't help but gasp for breath. "Itsuki, you're in better shape than ever today!"
Itsuki nodded with a grin. Of course, after drinking the energy potion, he had twice the stamina. Now he could finally outdo this monster, Might Guy…
Another half hour later, Might Guy was still breathing evenly, but Itsuki had collapsed on the ground.
"You monster…"
Itsuki stared with dead fish eyes, muttering before losing consciousness: One day, I'll beat you…
Might Guy smiled and shook his head, skillfully stripping Itsuki naked in a few moves and tossing him into the pot filled with green broth.
After doing all this, Might Guy smiled, dragged out a heavy weighted vest from under the bed, and clenched his fist. "Now, we can start the real training!"
1,000 push-ups, begin!
Night fell…
In the clean and bright training room of the Hyuga clan.
"Hiashi, I heard you lost today?"
A man with a square face stood quietly in the center of the training room, looking at his kneeling son, his words tinged with disappointment. This son was already particularly spoiled by his wife, he never trained diligently, and this time he even lost to a peasant child. He heard that the child was an orphan…
"Father, it was just… just that I was careless…"
Hyuga Hizashi trembled as he knelt before the adult man, not even daring to raise his head.
"You should know, our branch family is not allowed to fail…"
Hyuga Hizashi's Father pointed to the caged bird curse mark on his forehead. "We were born to protect the main family, any failure will make us criminals."
"Father…"
Hyuga Hizashi was completely panicked, this was the first time his father had spoken to him like this.
"Go defeat him. If you can't defeat him, I'll send you to the Land of Fire. Maybe being a ninja isn't the right path for you."
Hyuga Hizashi's Father waved his hand, signaling for Hyuga Hizashi to leave.
"Maybe being a ninja isn't the right path for you?"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi was completely stunned, he left the training room in a daze.
