Within the projection.
After unleashing Daytime Tiger, Might Guy was also knocked to the ground by the recoil.
Then.
Rock Lee arrived just in time to rescue the fallen Might Guy and return to the group.
At this moment, the blue aura on Might Guy’s body had completely vanished.
With his back to the crowd, his gaze was resolute.
“My youth hasn’t faded yet!”
“Konoha’s Blue Beast disappears from this day forward; the time to transform into the Red Beast has arrived!”
When these words appeared.
Everyone watching the projection was stunned.
“Wait, does this Guy have another ultimate move?”
“No way, that wasn’t even his strongest state?”
“I’m really looking forward to this! Might Guy, show us your full power!”
Just then, the video continued to play.
By a campfire.
Guy was comforting Rock Lee.
“You’re just like me; I used to be a failure too. But now, in my matches against the genius elite Kakashi, I’ve won more times than he has!”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to prove that even if you can’t use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, you can still become a splendid Ninja?”
“That is your Ninja Way, right?”
Guy flashed his brilliant white teeth, gave a thumbs-up, and laughed.
“That’s a great goal, worthy of your hard work. So just keep your eyes on the prize and charge forward. Become a strong man I can smile upon.”
The next scene was still a flashback, which caught many powerful individuals by surprise.
A man who bore a slight resemblance to Might Guy made the exact same gesture.
He extended his right thumb and smiled, revealing brilliant white teeth.
Suddenly, the scene shifted.
On a training ground, a crowd gathered around a bulletin board, pointing and whispering.
“Not here, not here, not here.”
Meanwhile, Might Guy sat on his father’s shoulders, searching incessantly for something.
One Piece World.
“Hmm? Is this… that Might Guy when he was a kid?”
Aboard the Moby Dick, Marco the Phoenix showed a hint of surprise.
Why did it suddenly jump to this?
“What’s going on? Where’s the fight? Why did it suddenly turn into a flashback? Is the author trying to tell us something?” Jozu the Diamond sat nearby, puzzled.
Whitebeard remained seated, watching the video as he recalled his own past.
He sat to one side; others mocked him for not caring about treasure.
But he was thinking of something more important than treasure—’Family’.
The video continued.
“Not here, not here, still not here.”
Looking at the list before him, Might Guy was completely disappointed.
Because his name was not on the list.
Listening to the other children find their names one by one.
Might Guy felt even more lonely.
“Son, look carefully.”
Might Duy wanted to comfort him, but a single tear suddenly fell.
“It’s not there. My name isn’t on it at all, Dad.”
Guy’s tears couldn’t stop flowing; he was in despair.
It seemed he really was a loser.
At that moment, his father’s voice came, offering comfort:
“Keep looking, Guy. You’ve given it your absolute best effort. Your hard work cannot go unrewarded. On the path ahead, soaked in tears, you will eventually find your name!”
Encouraged by his father, Guy continued his search.
One Piece World.
Kaido frowned.
“A failure? Heh, then on what grounds did he make it onto this ranking?”
Kizaru: “A failure? Knowing nothing at all… that really is tough.”
Sengoku: “For such a person to reach the point of fighting Six Paths Madara, it truly is a different kind of shocking, isn’t it?”
Eneru: “A hard-working genius? Interesting. But how is he going to deal with Six Paths? That’s no longer a genius; that’s a monster, a god!”
Naruto World.
Team 7.
Naruto said in surprise, “Guy-sensei was also a failure before?”
He felt some sympathy for Might Guy, because Guy’s childhood was exactly like his own.
The same status as a failure, and the same despair.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, Fourth Raikage Ay stared at the screen, waiting for what would happen next.
In Iwagakure, Third Tsuchikage Onoki also remained silent.
He too could see that the author’s focus on Guy’s past was clearly intentional.
But this author…
just who are they?
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the projection silently, having a vague realization.
At this moment, the flashback continued.
Everyone else had left, but Guy was still searching for his name.
On the training ground.
Might Guy was running while carrying a flag.
It said: ‘If you can run five hundred laps around the training ground, you can fill a vacancy for enrollment.’
But by the two hundred and thirtieth lap, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Everyone was mocking him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also stood in the distance watching him, saying nothing.
Then, another voice rang out.
“Listen to me, so-called self-restraint means that when facing certain difficulties, you deliberately place a shackle on yourself, pushing yourself to the brink and setting your own rules.”
The scene shifted again.
Might Guy saw a young Kakashi climbing a cliff with one hand, a drop of sweat falling onto his face.
At that moment, he understood the most important lesson.
Since even a genius was working hard, what right did he have to stop?
If he wasn’t good enough, then he would double his efforts!
The scene shifted.
Deep in a forest.
Might Duy erupted with the Eight Gates Formation, a green flame burning fiercely.
“As a Genin, I’ve persisted in my training every day, taking twenty years to finally master this one and only move. In other words, this is the only technique I can pass on to you. And for you, it will be the most special one.”
“You are already a splendid Ninja. When you want to use this move, you must add one strict condition.”
“And that is self-restraint!”
On a hospital bed.
Might Duy stroked Guy’s head.
“True victory isn’t about defeating someone strong; it’s about protecting what is most important to you!”
At this point, the screen turned black and white, and the flashback ended.
Everyone began to grow expectant.
Here it comes!
The main event begins!
Might Guy looked at Six Paths Madara in the sky, his gaze resolute as he charged forward.
At this moment, Kakashi also thought of something from the past.
Kakashi turned and asked, “What’s your name?”
Guy smiled.
“Might Guy. I’m going to become a man stronger than anyone else from now on.”
“Father.”
Might Guy whispered, the green flames burning on his body continuously turning red.
He remembered the day the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist attacked Konoha, when he was in deep despair.
But his father had arrived at the most critical moment.
“Now is the time to protect what is most important, even at the cost of one’s life!”
“Eighth, Gate of Death!”
“Open! Eight Gates Formation!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the image appeared.
BOOM!!!
A crimson steam instantly filled the entire screen!!
That intense pressure felt as if it were about to overflow!!
In an instant, countless people were moved by it.
