Chapter 62: Eight Heavenly Gates

As soon as it came to taijutsu, Guy's eyes immediately sparkled, after which he took a couple of quick steps towards Shikamaru and said loudly, hitting his chest:

- Ha, you came to the right place guy! This legendary Konoha Green Beast is the consummate master of Taijutsu! - then Guy slightly lowered his sparkling gaze and asked: - By the way, who told you about me, what kind of teacher? And in general, what is your name? Where are you from?

Of course, the young man was not particularly surprised at such a strange behavior, but still Might Guy was indeed an unusual person. Shikamaru sighed a little and replied with a smile:

- I am Shikamaru Nara, and my teacher ...

But the guy did not have time to finish, he was immediately interrupted:

- Ha, Nara? Are you Shikaku's son?

- Well, yes.

- I see ... - as if sorting out something in his memory, the man often nodded, and then finally asked: - Well, so what did you want?

- Hmm, well, I already said, I wanted ...

- Exactly! You wanted to fight! - Guy laughed and waving his hand quickly began to walk into the house: - Let's go ...

Shikamaru looked at Guy's trail and mumbled with a shake of his head.

"Actually, I wanted to ... Well, okay ..." Then he mentally added: "He is really quite eccentric, but it's even funny. The third old man usually resembles a strictly instructor, and Avie was generally constantly silent and only made displeased faces. Father has been on a mission with Uncle Chowsey for two months already, at least some variety ... "

Sliding the door behind him, Shikamaru quickly followed Guy, looking at the decoration of the house along the way. But, there was nothing special here. At least the guy was expecting something unusual, but as it turned out in vain ... Guy apparently kept an eye on the cleanliness, so the apartment was very well maintained. Passing a small kitchen, the two quickly went out into the backyard and already there Shikamaru had an amazing view. Completely trampled solid ground, as well as dozens of dumbbells, barbells, weights and a bunch of different iron for training. In principle, he was already expecting something like this ... Having passed through a couple of wooden dummies - Mu Ren Jang, with obvious chips and cracks, Guy went further to the free area without stopping, there was already a dojo very close and probably it also belonged to this master of Taijutsu ... But, they did not go there and simply stopped at a free meadow, where there was also almost no grass. It resembled the most common training ground for shinobi, which Shikamaru had seen a lot. Stopping here, Guy turned around and said with the same bright smile:

- I saw your hands and your eyes, you definitely know a lot about good training.

"Well, I'm definitely far from you…" - mentally grinning, Shikamaru nodded shortly. "I train in Taijutsu quite often. I also like Ninjutsu, but Tai has his own special charm.

- Ha ha ha, I agree with that! - Guy smiled broadly and asked: - Okay, you like talking about sparring?

- Well, actually, I wanted to show you my skills and hoped for a couple of tips.

"Hmm ..." Guy gave Shikamaru an appraising glance, and then abruptly took off. The guy immediately reacted, yet the speed of the man was not so fast. It wasn't hard to see that this was just a test. It would have been very difficult for a simple Genin, but Shikamaru had long ago surpassed such a level, so, leaving the trajectory of the blow, the guy struck with his fist towards Might Guy.

The man smiled with satisfaction and simply took the guy's blow to the side with his palm and instantly moved behind Shikamaru. This time the guy didn't even have time to understand anything, as Guy's palm was already near his neck.

Chuckling a little, Shikamaru shook his head.

- I give up ...

Guy laughed and patted the guy on the shoulder.

- Very good guy, your reaction is impressive, and the power of the blow is very decent. I think, without weights, you can show even better results. Are you wearing about fifty kilograms?

Shikamaru blinked in shock and then quickly nodded.

- Yes ... Fifty-three, to be precise, is my limit with which I can handle loads without consequences.

Guy nodded contentedly.

- Yes, that's good ... How old are you?

- Six.

Guy's face changed and his torso tilted in amazement, he stared into Shikamaru's face.

- Are you kidding me right? Six years?! - Then the man stood up abruptly and muttered: - Although ... It seems like Shikaku had a son somewhere at that time ... Ahem, well, the children went.

Returning his gaze to Shikamaru again, Guy sighed and patted the guy on the shoulder.

- Yes, you are very talented. Perhaps only one friend of mine was capable of something like that at your age.

Shikamaru raised his eyebrows in question.

- Are you talking about Kakashi Hatake, your eternal rival?

- Yeah ... In the end, how could my opponent have done worse? Wait ... - Guy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: - How do you know about my eternal rival boy?

- Well, who doesn't know about it? Shikamaru made a confused expression and said, "I think everyone in the village knows.

- Ha, you are probably right ... Well, you should know that I am winning now, after all, our score is already thirty-six to thirty-five, and in my favor.

Shikamaru nodded and then asked:

- Happen Gai-san, can you ask a question?

- Yes, of course, ask whatever you want. Young generation interested in Taijutsu, how can I refuse? The power of Youth burns in each of us! I just have to support young ninja! Who if not me?!

Shikamaru smiled and immediately asked:

"It concerns one legendary technique ... Eight Heavenly Gates.

When Guy heard Shikamaru's words, he immediately changed his face and asked in surprise:

- Eight Gates ?! How do you know about them ...

- Well ... - the guy thought a little, and then replied: - I learned about the legendary master of Taijutsu who used the Eight Heavenly Gate and was able to defeat several very strong shinobi, I was impressed, and when I found out his name ... In general, this is was your father Gai-san and I would like to learn this amazing technique!

Guy froze slightly and immediately noticed the guy's serious look. His father's story was not new to the village. It's just that few people really knew about her ... But when this guy called his father a legendary master of taijutsu, Guy's soul slightly warmed and the man shed a little tear. But, Guy quickly pulled himself together and, brushing away the tears, seriously said:

- I understood what you mean. But you must know, the Eight Heavenly Gate is a very difficult and dangerous forbidden technique. Only a strong and trained shinobi is able to master it.

Shikamaru nodded glumly and said gravely.

- I understand Gai-sensei, that's why I came to you, hoping that you will teach me this legendary technique, if I can pass your test or somehow prove my strength!

Guy surveyed the guy again and nodded slowly.

- Then ... Let's see what you are capable of! Show me your Youth Power!
