"..."
If not for the sincere expression on the face of Guy, Kifu would have truly wanted to give him two heavy punches.
The man spoke words of praise, yet they did not bring any sense of joy.
'It could only be you, Guy.'
"During the last mission, he dealt with two Chunin from the Hidden Mist," Kakashi said calmly from the side.
Upon hearing those words, a sharp light burst from the eyes of Guy. It complemented the reflection from his teeth, making him look like a hundred-watt light bulb.
His face was filled with pure admiration.
"Kifu Senpai, how did you do it?"
This was a masterful shift of aggro.
Kifu waved his hand dismissively. "It was not that exaggerated. One went to eat barbecue, and the other became barbecue himself. It was not as impressive as Kakashi makes it sound."
As he spoke, he slowly sat up. "Guy, let me tell you a secret to becoming a powerful Shinobi as quickly as possible."
"What is it?" Guy pricked up his ears and focused his full attention.
"Challenge him. Do it once a day, or even several times a day. Even if you fail, do not be discouraged. You are a hard-working genius who can surpass a natural genius!" Kifu pointed at the dazed Kakashi.
'Humph, if you want to play games with me, Kakashi, you are still too green...' Kifu felt quite pleased with himself.
"A hard-working genius..." Guy muttered the words softly.
He suddenly stood up. "Kakashi!!"
"..."
Kakashi felt a bitterness in his heart, but he had no one to tell.
His mind raced as he searched for a way out. He suddenly asked, "Guy, do you not have classes today?"
"Oh, the afternoon is for outdoor lessons."
Normally, during outdoor lessons, he would train by himself. The Teachers at the school had already given their silent approval for this. After all, given the physical Vitality [精] and Body [体] of Guy, the standard training volume of an outdoor lesson was no different from child's play to him.
However, even though Kakashi had abruptly changed the subject, Guy did not let him go.
This caused Kakashi to let out a secret sigh of relief.
That was close.
"Guy, cultivation is not something that happens overnight. Persistence is certainly good, but you must also learn to balance labor and rest. Otherwise, your Body [体] will not be able to handle the strain."
As a man accustomed to being a salted fish, Kifu felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Guy so diligent.
'If you work this hard, where does that leave those of us who just want to relax?'
"Yes, yes." Guy felt that these words made a lot of sense. His father, Might Dai, often told him the same thing. Therefore, Guy always made sure to have enough rest every day. Additionally, Might Dai would prepare a series of medicinal baths to help his body recover.
Otherwise, with their extreme method of training, no ordinary person could endure the physical toll.
"In addition to your usual large-scale training projects, you need to pay more attention to the finer details. After all, details determine success or failure."
"Yes, yes." Guy listened like a humble student seeking guidance.
"Cleaning is a very good choice. It allows you to notice details as small as dust in every corner. It is just like catching the fleeting weakness of an enemy in battle."
"Yes, yes."
"I can give you such an opportunity to train yourself."
"Is that true?"
"Guy, you must be confident. Remove the question mark. You absolutely deserve this kind of treatment."
"Yes!"
"Help me clean the Mortuary. A place where bodies are kept is the temporary residence of the deceased. The dead should be treated with respect. I hope you can respect the dead just as I do."
"Respect the dead! Train myself!"
Kifu watched as Guy picked up a broom with an excited expression and entered the Mortuary. He began to meticulously sweep every single corner.
"..."
Kakashi did not know how many times he had widened his eyes in shock today.
Was this even possible?
The man simply opened his mouth and made up a complete lie.
The most important part was that someone actually believed it.
One was brave enough to tell the lie, and the other was brave enough to believe it. It truly was just like the two of them.
Chapter 19: The Meticulous Guy
"A flower blooms, and a flower fades... Daddy, can you sing 'Little Star'? Yes, I can. The great river flows to the east, and the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper..."
Kifu hummed a song, appearing to be in a very good mood.
Although having a peaceful afternoon interrupted was not ideal, the Mortuary had gained a source of free labor. This was quite beautiful.
At the same time, Kakashi had made a decision. In the future, whenever Guy sought him out for a challenge, he would run straight to the Mortuary.
There was always a way to lose him.
While Guy was immersed in cleaning and could not pull himself away, Kakashi took the chance to slip away first.
Ever since Kifu arrived in the Shinobi world and became a Body Collector, he realized he had developed a obsession with cleanliness that he never had before.
He was particularly strict regarding the hygiene of the Mortuary and the state of the corpses. He was so demanding that it even surprised him.
Therefore, cleaning the Mortuary at least five times a day had become part of his routine.
But now, things were better. He could leave these tasks to Guy. He could become an even greater salted fish.
"Kifu Senpai, I have finished cleaning." Guy held the broom, his face full of excitement.
Kifu patted his shoulder and spoke with deep sincerity. "Very good, Guy! That is the way! Youth does not allow for waste. In the future, whenever you feel tired from training, you can come to my place. We will balance labor and rest to help each other. Only then can we become even better Shinobi."
He looked exactly like a senior teacher guiding a junior student in perfect harmony.
