Chapter 3 - Kame-ryu training

Before dawn, Kiyotaki, half-asleep in bed, heard the sound of a window opening. He opened his groggy eyes.

"Hey! Kid! Wake up!"

A loud roar jolted Kiyotaki awake, scaring away all his sleepiness.

Might Guy was squatting by the window, holding a green outfit in one hand and giving a thumbs-up with the other. His sparkling white teeth actually emitted a dazzling light even in the dim room!

"Kid! This is the training uniform I prepared for you. Isn't it cool! No need to be moved, hurry up and get dressed so Uncle can see!"

Kiyotaki, who had just gotten up, was so startled by the training uniform that he almost fell back asleep!

"Uh~, no need!"

"I have a training uniform!"

Kiyotaki quickly refused, heart pounding, then scrambled out of bed and ran to the washroom to change into the Turtle Hermit Style training uniform.

Might Guy looked at the training uniform in his hand with regret.

"What a pity! Such a good training uniform, it can only go to Lee. Lee will definitely be very happy!"

"Let's go! Kid, time for training!"

"Okay!"

Kiyotaki quickly opened the door and followed him.

By the small river in Konoha Village.

Might Guy stood to the side, watching the two youngsters, and said to Lee.

"Alright, let's start with a warm-up. First, 500 push-ups!"

"Oh!"

Lee immediately started.

Kiyotaki also twisted and stretched his body.

After warming up, Kiyotaki faced the morning sun, forming the Great Sun Seal with his hands, and sat cross-legged on a rock, meditating peacefully.

"Kiyotaki, the kid, still hasn't refined Chakra yet, has he!?"

Might Guy sighed!

"Lee! After you finish 500 push-ups, let's refine Chakra too!"

"Oh!"

--- As the sun gradually rose, Kiyotaki's Saiyan physique developed, and he actually cultivated a sense of Ki.

Might Guy was incredibly shocked as he watched Kiyotaki's aura gradually increase!

This kid, he seems to be getting stronger!

Getting stronger at a visible rate!

But he still doesn't have Chakra!!!

Kiyotaki jumped up from his meditation, stretched his body, feeling a surge of power throughout.

"Uncle Might Guy! Let's start running!"

"First, let's run around Konoha 10 times!"

Might Guy immediately cast aside his unthinking mind and excitedly shouted to Lee.

"Lee! The hot-blooded youth is all about running around Konoha!"

"Let's run under the morning sun, burn! Youth!... Boil! Youth!!"

"Yosh!"

Might Guy's declaration of youth made Lee's eyes blaze with excitement!

He moved his legs, taking the lead and setting the pace!

..."Heave-ho, heave-ho~"

After running more than halfway around Konoha, Kiyotaki pointed to an intersection.

"Lee! Run this way!"

This intersection led directly to the Inuzuka Clan's territory.

Inuzuka Kiba was taking a dump again, holding Akamaru with one hand and toilet paper with the other, squatting in the bushes, grumbling!

Kiyotaki picked up a stone and threw it. The stone clattered and rolled a few times in front of a pack of large dogs.

The dogs looked up and saw the familiar kid throwing stones at them, and even giving them two middle fingers.

Without exception, they all understood the meaning of the middle finger, and with a collective roar, they gave chase.

Seeing this, Kiyotaki turned and ran. Lee, staring blankly at the pack of snarling, vicious dogs charging towards him, was also scared and turned to run.

Might Guy, fearing the dogs would hurt the two youngsters, was about to intervene.

"Bang!"

A dog larger than a water buffalo suddenly appeared and grabbed his shoulder.

"Might Guy! Don't worry about it, let the children play, the dogs won't hurt your two little ones."

"Woof woof ~ Woof woof ~"

A large pack of dogs chased them through the village roads and alleys, barking loudly. Kiyotaki felt it was incredibly exhilarating!

The System, always on cue, started playing the opening theme of Dragon Ball, "Makafushigi Adventure!" in Kiyotaki's ear. At that moment, Kiyotaki felt incredibly free and uninhibited, leaving the pack of dogs far behind.

Lee, running behind, was terrified. This was the first time in his life he had been chased by dogs. It was truly terrifying; his butt almost got bitten. He ran with all his might.

--- Might Guy was very satisfied. Lee had exceeded his training quota for the day. Sure enough, training with a companion was effective!

"Kiyotaki, to thank you for training with Lee, I'm treating you tonight!"

"How can I accept that!"

Before Kiyotaki could refuse, his stomach rumbled.

Might Guy laughed heartily.

"See! Your stomach agrees, so don't refuse!"

Kiyotaki no longer refused; he was truly hungry.

At Ichiraku Ramen, Teuchi, the uncle, smiled as he served another large bowl of ramen.

On the table in front of Kiyotaki, a stack of empty bowls was piled high, and he was still eating quickly, mouthful after mouthful.

He had forgotten that Saiyan appetites were astonishing; Saiyans needed a large amount of energy to grow, true big eaters!

Might Guy, beside him, stared dumbfounded at Kiyotaki devouring his food, his hand holding his wallet trembling.

Kiyotaki looked at the stack of bowls on the table and gave an embarrassed smile. He had accidentally eaten so much.

"Ah~! I'm full!"

"Thank you for the treat, Uncle Might Guy!"

Actually, he could still eat, but he was finally too embarrassed.

"Thank you, Uncle Teuchi, for making such delicious ramen!"

Kiyotaki watched Might Guy pay with a trembling hand, feeling a bit bad.

Might Guy patted him.

"It's fine to eat a lot! Youngsters are growing, so being able to eat is a blessing!"

"Uh~ hahaha~"

They looked at each other and laughed awkwardly!

After a day of training, Kiyotaki, exhausted, lay on his bed looking at the System panel. The System showed that he had continuously checked in for one day.

He felt great, filled with a sense of fulfillment. Kiyotaki drifted off to sleep contentedly.

The next day, he woke up early again to cultivate. After ten consecutive days of checking in, he finally got a chance to draw a prize.

Kiyotaki bathed and changed, then sat on his bed happily, opening the System panel to prepare for the draw.

"Are you ready to draw a prize?"

"Draw!"

Kiyotaki excitedly rubbed his hands.

The lottery wheel spun.

"Duang!"

A large turtle shell crashed onto the floor, emitting a dull thud.

The System panel prompted, "Congratulations on drawing Master Roshi's weighted training turtle shell."

[Weighted Turtle Shell] (System-produced, guaranteed quality. Weight adjustable from 10kg to 100kg. Can increase training results by 30%).

Holy cow! Kiyotaki was shocked. It really was a high-quality item, adjustable weight, and it could even boost training results.

"Ding!"

The System updated the mission.

The new mission requires: daily carrying the weighted turtle shell, doing 200 push-ups, running around Konoha 10 times, frog jumping around Konoha 5 times, lifting 50 catties 100 times... Phew! Wouldn't that mean carrying at least a 10kg turtle shell around the entire village every day?

How embarrassing --- The next day, Lee stared in shock at Kiyotaki's turtle shell. Might Guy, beside him, looked thoughtful, wondering if he should prepare weighted equipment for Lee too!

In the early morning of Konoha, sunlight shone on the leaves, still covered with dew. Kiyotaki, like a little turtle come to life, ran with great effort, carrying the heavy turtle shell. What was annoying was that the Inuzuka Clan's dogs appeared out of nowhere, as if they had been lying in ambush, charging at Kiyotaki as soon as they saw him.

Among them was a young boy from the Inuzuka Clan, holding his little white dog, excitedly and furiously shouting as he charged out.

"Akamaru, charge! Don't let those two little bastards get away!"

"Woof woof woof ~ Awoooo!"

Kiyotaki and Lee were in a sorry state, once again chased by dogs around Konoha for several laps.

Another ten days passed, and Kiyotaki, having consistently checked in for 10 days of training, finally got a prize draw.

He bathed and changed, then rubbed his hands.

"Host, would you like to start the prize draw?"

Of course! All this hard training was for this moment.

"Draw!"

The wheel spun and finally stopped!

"Congratulations, Host, you have drawn Master Roshi's technique [Kamehameha]!"

Holy cow! Holy cow! Holy cow!

"It's actually Kamehameha!"

"Hahahahaha! I'm rich!"

This was a super powerful move that had never lost a beam struggle!

If the opponent sends out a Tailed Beast Ball or a dog cannon in the future, I'll just send a wave back!

"Do you want to click to learn?" the System prompted.

Of course, learn! Kiyotaki clicked confirm.

A stream of information transformed into a warm current that flowed into his mind. Kamehameha was now learned!
