The Best Shinobi

Guy Sensei and Taijutsu Training

"Earth Release- Earth Style Wall"

Genma instantly made a few hand signs and the wall of mud appeared around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It managed to break the attack but at the same time, he also lost for using B-Rank Jutsu. At this moment, he made another hand sign and slammed it on the ground.

"Water Release- Wet Ground"

The next moment, his hand released the water that covered the ground and slowly erased those sealing symbols.

'This sealing Jutsu! It's amazing. While I was strangled by this Jutsu, I realized I couldn't use my raw Chakra. It was eating my Chakra. I have never heard of this kind of sealing Jutsu. Don't tell me he created it?'

"Haha! Sensei, we win." Okinawa jumped while raising both of his hands with an excited expression.

"Yep, you won. Now, let's talk." Genma took them to the nearby log. They all sat on the log while he stood in front of them.

"Alright, let's begin with an introduction!"

"Sensei, shouldn't we have done the introduction at first?" Okinawa raised his hand and asked.

"But, if you hadn't passed, then what's the point of knowing your name?" Genma shrugged his shoulders and replied. Although he was showing a normal attitude, his words were truly cold, especially for them.

"So, let me go first," Genma said as he began to introduce himself.

"My name is Genma Shiranui. I love Pumpkin broth and I hate Spinach. My hobby is traveling. As for my dream... I don't have any. Now, it's your turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, Okinawa started.

"My name is Okinawa Torru. I love older women and I hate when my parents punish me. I want to become the Hokage so that my parents will stop punishing me. As for my hobby, it is to hang out with my friends so that I can escape my parent's eyes."

'That's quite an interesting reason.' Genma turned his eyes at Jeme.

"My name is Jeme Nara. I love my clan and I hate the fact that my clan relies on one type of Jutsu alone. My dream is to open the Nara Clan to learn all kinds of Jutsu and expand. As for my hobby, I like playing Shogi with Cousin Shikamaru though I never win."

Hearing her introduction, Menma, Okinawa, and Genma was surprised. They didn't expect this girl to have such a dream. It was quite bold considering these kinds of clans only focuses on one kind of Jutsu alone.

But, they didn't say much. Genma turned his eyes at Menma who finally introduced himself.

"My name is Menma. I love spending my time with my family and friends. I hate hypocrites. My hobby is creating Ninjutsu. And, My dream is to become the best shinobi just like Lord Fourth."

When Genma heard those words, his eyes widened as the shock lasted on his head. The boy sitting in front of him excluded the aura of the man whom he respected the most.

The man whom he swore to protect but couldn't.

Genma, as the part of Hokage Guard Platoon, was quite familiar with Lord Fourth. That's why Menma said those words, the image of the Lord Fourth appeared in his eyes.

But, he quickly shook his head and said "Alright then! From now on Team Thirteen is on. Let's go and take our first mission."

Three of them got excited until they reached the Hokage Office where they were assigned to cut the weed around Lord Daimyo's Wife. Through this Menma learned one thing for sure.

The biggest donor of the Village Hidden in the Leaves was Lord Daimyo's Wife. Although team thirteen was dissatisfied, they still proceed to complete the mission.

After the mission was complete, everyone went home. Menma walked through the empty street and suddenly, a voice stopped him.

"Menma!"

He turned around as he recognized the voice. It belonged to none other than Tenten. He also saw three people near her. Two of them complemented each other while one looked a bit cold.

"Hey Tenten, did come from a mission?" Menma asked as he approached her.

"No dummy! We were simply training. Guy Sensei is too rough even on a girl like me." Tenten sounded a bit exhausted when she said.

"Guy Sensei? Wait, are you Might Guy? The strongest Taijutsu User who has trained Eight Inner Gates?" Menma although knowing about him acted with an astonishing expression as he looked at Guy with light beaming out of his eyes.

"YOU DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE WRONG PERSON. I AM INDEED THE MIGHTY AND HANDSOME BLUE BEAST OF KONOHA. YOUTH! YOUR EYES ARE BLAZING WITH FLAMES. DO YOU WANT TO TRAIN UNDER ME?"

Guy was shocked when a random Genin appeared in front of him and fawned at his powers. He didn't know how Menma find out about him but he was naturally happy to see those blazing eyes on him.

Menma nodded his head as if he was chicken but his eyes dimmed a bit as he said "I am part of Team Thirteen. Your team and my team would be on different missions so it would be hard to train with you. But, I really want to train Taijutsu with you."

"DO NOT FRET ABOUT SUCH A SMALL DETAIL. I CAN SEE YOUR YOUTH BLAZING. LEE, INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO YOUR NEW TAIJUTSU TRAINING PARTNER. SHOW YOUR INNER YOUTH AND BLAZE LIKE FLAMES." Guy's youth was blazing out of him.

It was so bright the people around him couldn't even look at him. Tenten and Neji were embarrassed by his action and decided to look away.

"Hello! My name is Lee. I am training Taijutsu under Guy Sensei." Lee walked in front of him and introduced himself.

"Hello! My name is Menma Izuno. I have been training Taijutsu by myself for three years and after researching Taijutsu, I came to learn about your sensei. I am honored to train with you." Menma introduced himself with a polite attitude.

"But Menma, are you sure you need to train Taijutsu any further? You have already trained in Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Jutsu." Tenten suddenly questioned him which surprised everyone.

Neji was most surprised. He didn't expect the person in front of him has trained in Taijutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and Sealing Jutsu. He narrowed his eyes with an unhappy expression and asked "Aren't you wasting your time training so many things? Can you even get better at one?"

"What are you talking about, Neji? Menma is a genius when it comes to learning Jutsu. He has already mastered Mystical Palm Technique. His sealing Jutsu is better than mine."

"And when it comes to Taijutsu, only Lee might be able to defeat him excluding Naruto." When Tenten saw Neji looking down on Menma, she got a bit furious as she resounded to Neji.

Hearing her words, Lee was shocked. He didn't understand why Menma was trying to learn Taijutsu when he is so great at other Jutsu. He couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't Taijutsu the last option to choose when you can't do Ninjutsu?"

Guy looked at Lee and sighed. Both he and Lee chose Taijutsu because they didn't have any chance. He looked at Menma expecting an answer that would blaze his youth once again.

Menma smiled and shook his head "I am not in the position to say you are blessed since you have to go through so much pain. But, the reason why people do not look at Taijutsu with better eyes is that they are a bunch of morons."

When he said that, all four of them looked at him with wide eyes. At this moment, Menma was calling everyone a moron including the Hokage.

They couldn't understand why Menma would say such a thing and before they could ask, Menma continued.

"Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, and Kage. Currently, people who live in this age believe that the Kage is the ceiling that except for a few people, no one can reach."

"But, the truth is that the people like First Hokage and Third Raikage have surpassed the limits of Kage. If compared to Third Hokage or Mizukage, Kazekage, they are way above the Kage league."

"And, that's because of two things. Chakra and Taijutsu. First Hokage was blessed with an immense chakra while Raikage managed to train his body to the absolute limit where he was called Strongest Shield."

"Body is the foundation of everything. If you don't have a strong body, you will be exhausted by performing a few Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. On other hand, if you have a strong body, even if you can't do Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, you can still fight against them."

"I don't have the Chakra level of First Hokage. Heck! My Chakra level might be the lowest out of most Genin. So, even if I am good at Sealing Jutsu or Ninjutsu, I can't use it without enough Chakra. The only way for me to get stronger is through Taijutsu."

"So, I don't think you should blame or have pity on yourself for not being able to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. Although the journey will be painful, as long as you don't give up, you will surpass Kage and have the strength to protect your friend and your village."

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar that almost shook the entire Konoha rang.

"YOUTH"
