"Haa!"Might Guy's body spun into motion like a verdant tornado, a blur of green and movement. Every muscle surged with energy as he combined an upper kick and a lower kick into a mesmerizing, high-speed whirl. The finale was a devastating heel strike, a single move radiating unstoppable force.Boom!The wooden stake before him splintered instantly under the sheer impact of his strike, sent flying like a projectile. Naruto and Rock Lee froze in awe, their eyes wide as admiration surged in their hearts.But before they could even catch their breath, Might Guy pivoted mid-air. His legs rotated at an incredible speed, executing a backward spinning kick—launched with his back facing the target, defying all sense and logic. This strike was impossible to predict, let alone block."Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"Rumble!Another wooden stake shattered under the impact, exploding into a cloud of splinters. Wood chips scattered in every direction, and the force reverberated across the training ground.Might Guy landed effortlessly, exuding the calm confidence of someone who had mastered his body completely. Naruto and Rock Lee could only stare, speechless at the intensity of his power."Too… too amazing…" Naruto muttered, his heart pounding.Hearing their awe, Might Guy's laughter rang out, strong and invigorating. "These two moves—Leaf Great Whirlwind and Leaf Strong Whirlwind—are similar to the basic Taijutsu techniques you've seen before, but far more complex and far more powerful!"If you can master all three of these moves—fully integrate them, and use them in combat according to your understanding—you will be unstoppable. Not even an ordinary Chunin could withstand them!"Naruto's heart leapt. He remembered how, during the Mizuki incident, he had been utterly unprepared, his actions driven by desperation rather than strategy. He had lacked control, clarity, and confidence.But now, with the chance to master these advanced Taijutsu moves, he could approach future battles fully aware, fully capable, and fully in control. He could save Iruka, defeat enemies, and act strategically—not out of panic, but with skill and confidence.His fists clenched. Determination surged like fire through his veins."Bushy Brow Sensei! I understand!" Naruto called out, his voice resolute. "I will master all three Taijutsu techniques as fast as possible!"Rock Lee's eyes burned with a similar fire. "Osu! Me too, Teacher Guy!"Might Guy beamed at them, the essence of youth radiating from him. "Excellent! Your fighting spirit is truly worthy of the name 'youth'! But remember, these techniques are not easy to master…""Next week, on this same day, if I'm not on a mission, I'll return to check your progress!"Naruto and Rock Lee exchanged determined glances, their energy and resolve surging."We will not disappoint you, Teacher Guy!" they said in unison.Might Guy's signature grin shone in the sunlight as he walked away, his thumb raised in encouragement. "Youth! Sweat it out! Roar, youth!"As soon as he disappeared, Naruto felt a sudden ping in his mind—the system activating.[Detected that the host has acquired new Taijutsu. Train harder than Rock Lee to master them quickly. Falling behind will trigger a Lightning Release system upgrade.]Naruto's jaw tightened. Even with all his passion, the system's demand felt insurmountable. Rock Lee was already training like a man possessed, and now he had to surpass him?He paused, thinking. Then a spark of inspiration ignited within him."Of course! One of me may not surpass Lee, but… two of me, three of me? That could work!"He formed hand signs quickly and activated the technique he had been refining for months."Shadow Clone Technique!"In a puff of white smoke, three Narutos appeared, each identical and ready to act.Rock Lee stared, dumbfounded. "Naruto… what is this?""This is my Shadow Clone Technique," Naruto said with pride. "But it's not just for combat—it's for training! Every experience and skill gained by my clones returns to my main body. In essence… I can train three times faster!"Lee's eyes widened, a mixture of admiration and envy. "Incredible… too bad I can't use Ninjutsu for training…"Naruto patted his friend on the shoulder. "Lee! Don't say that! Your effort already surpasses ordinary people. That's what counts!"Lee's face shone with a radiant smile. "Exactly! My strength lies in effort! My technique is just a vessel—the true power is willpower and determination!"Naruto felt a deep admiration. Even with the system pushing him, Lee's drive was purely his own. Here was someone who embodied the essence of true effort—a genius in perseverance.The two of them, side by side, set to work. Training until the sun dipped below the horizon.Their session was not mere training. It was punishment, an ordeal, a relentless test of their bodies and spirit. Pain surged through every muscle. Fatigue gnawed at every fiber of their being.Naruto's Shadow Clones mirrored his efforts exactly, multiplying his work threefold. He endured exhaustion, pain, and the constant pressure of the system—but he refused to yield. Not to the system, not to Rock Lee, and not to his own limitations.Every punch, every kick, every spin was an exercise in perfection. Every movement, every breath, every drop of sweat was a step toward mastery.Night fell, and at last, Naruto's ears caught the sound of the system's notification:[Congratulations to the host for increasing proficiency in Leaf Great Whirlwind to 60 points—initial mastery achieved!][Congratulations to the host for increasing proficiency in Leaf Strong Whirlwind to 60 points—initial mastery achieved!]The words felt like music to his ears. Beside him, Rock Lee had collapsed, utterly spent. Naruto, exhausted but exhilarated, joined him on the ground.The two Shadow Clones dissipated in puffs of smoke, returning all their accumulated training experience to Naruto's main body. His mastery of both techniques jumped by an additional 20 points—reaching 80 points in a single day.The results were astonishing. What had seemed impossible—matching and even surpassing Lee—was now within reach.This success was due to several factors: Naruto's prior mastery of basic Leaf Whirlwind, the exponential benefit of Shadow Clone training, and enhancements from system abilities like Physical Strength Monster. But beyond all else, it was his sheer determination, his refusal to yield, and his unwavering desire to surpass every limit.As Naruto lay on the ground, breathing heavily, he reflected on the day. Without the system, without Lee's fiery example, without the dream of defeating Sasuke and becoming Hokage, he could not have endured.Yet here he was, stronger, more skilled, and more determined than ever.Bushy Brow Sensei's words echoed in his mind: "Youth! Sweat it out! Roar, youth!"And so Naruto embraced the truth of his youth—pain, struggle, and sweat were the foundations of growth. And with this night behind him, he knew one thing: no matter the challenge, no matter the opponent, he would never stop pushing forward.Because youth only belongs to those willing to fight, willing to sweat, and willing to roar.And Naruto… would roar louder than anyone.
