"Araki, you're here. Warm up with me first, and then we'll begin our formal training!"
Might Dai immediately beckoned Araki over, motioning for him to come and do stretching exercises together.
Might Dai didn't stop talking while he stretched his body in various exaggerated positions.
Although he was a tough guy, he had an incredible level of flexibility.
This was truly remarkable!
Especially after putting on the green training outfit, which seemed a bit odd and out of place, but that was the style of the Konoha Guts Fist style.
"Yes!"
Araki nodded and walked over, standing next to Might Dai. He briefly moved his wrist joints, intending to train alongside Might Dai.
"Your outfit is wrong!"
Might Dai kept staring at Araki, feeling that something was off. Suddenly, he realized the problem and his mouth curved into a smile, revealing his white teeth. He suggested, "Tomorrow, I'll buy you a training outfit so that you can be full of energy during tomorrow night's training and not feel as tired as you do now!"
"???"
Araki's mind was filled with question marks. He couldn't handle wearing such a bright green outfit. He wanted to keep a low profile, not attract too much attention from others. If he wore such clothes, he would become famous at the ninja school within a few days.
"Are you doubting the effectiveness of this training outfit?"
Might Dai seemed to sense Araki's reluctance and shook his head, explaining, "This training outfit has excellent breathability and insulation, and it is designed to allow easy movement with perfect aesthetics and graceful lines..."
Araki's face was full of black lines.
"Once you wear this training outfit during your training, you will immediately feel the difference!" Might Dai continued.
The black lines on Araki's face became even more pronounced.
"You'll definitely fall in love with this outfit!" Might Dai insisted.
Araki's face was completely covered in black lines.
"Araki, if you don't mind, I'll bring it for you tomorrow. In fact, I've already bought a set, thinking of saving it for my son, even though I don't have a son yet." Might Dai kept talking, seemingly unaware of Araki's dislike, and enthusiastically promoted his favorite outfit.
"Well... um... Dai-sensei... I don't want it!"
Araki suddenly waved his hands repeatedly. He understood that it might not be good to refuse like this, but if he didn't refuse, he would really have to wear that shiny green outfit.
This outfit...
You recommend it, and I definitely won't wear it!
Araki suddenly realized the seriousness of being completely focused. He was now Might Dai's only disciple, and whatever Might Dai liked, he would arrange for Araki to have. When the time came for their training to reach a certain level, Araki would have to find a wife for Might Dai.
With Might Dai's physical strength, explosiveness, and stamina...
Even if he was a training maniac, it shouldn't be a problem to conquer a girl and settle down to have children.
"You really don't want it?"
Might Dai's face immediately showed a hint of disappointment. He looked a bit dejected, behaving in an exaggerated manner that made it hard to tell if he was genuinely upset or just acting.
"Dai-sensei, when we first met, I said that I wanted to quietly train and then amaze everyone. If I wear this outfit, everyone will notice me, but I want to keep a low profile!" Araki's mind started to work, and he continued, "Dai-sensei, since that outfit is for your future son, I think it's best to save it for him."
"My son..."
Might Dai fell silent for a moment. In truth, he wasn't sure if it was necessary to have a son anymore. Human energy is often limited, and with Araki's arrival, he had fulfilled all his expectations for a disciple.
Not wearing a training outfit was just a trivial matter.
He didn't have the desire for a son right now.
Having a son wasn't something that happened just because you wanted one!
At the very least, he needed to find someone willing to have a son with him, and then it would take time and effort to conceive, and even then, there was no guarantee it would be a son...
As Might Dai contemplated the process of having a son, he found it troublesome. There was no ready-made Araki in reality.
"Let's not dwell on that. Araki, do you really not want to wear it?"
Might Dai shook his head, pushing aside his distracting thoughts and focusing on the training outfit again. In his dream, he imagined having a son who wore the same training outfit as him, running together in the park, sweating profusely.
"I don't want to!" Araki firmly refused. He couldn't afford to give even the slightest bit of hope, or else Might Dai would continue to bring it up.
He had to completely quash these thoughts.
Don't think about it!
There's absolutely no way I'll wear it!
"Alright then~" Seeing Araki's expression, Might Dai didn't insist anymore. After all, this disciple was truly rare, especially considering his talent and potential. It was enough for him to step back on unimportant matters.
"Araki, are you ready? Let's begin today's training!" Might Dai, able to put things aside, refocused his attention. He grinned at Araki, exuding a youthful aura.
"I'm ready." Araki nodded.
"Today's training starts with 200 laps of high knee running!" Might Dai raised his thumb towards Araki.
"Only 200 laps?" Araki was slightly surprised.
"That's right. Yesterday I tested your capabilities, and 300 laps would be a bit much for you. We'll set a small achievable goal first, and then gradually increase the training intensity." Might Dai explained with a smile.
"Okay!" Araki was momentarily taken aback, then nodded.
It seems like...
I need to gradually improve my performance.
If I keep going like this, I won't increase the training intensity. Let's start with these challenges from tonight.
Araki could already sense his powerful heartbeat, anticipating the surge of vibrant green chakra that would accompany his training.
...
In the following days, Araki repeated the same routine.
During the day, he secretly memorized the formula for poisons while studying. In the afternoon, he learned basic medical knowledge under the guidance of Tsunade. And at night, he trained vigorously with Might Dai, burning with youthful passion.
In this repetitive daily life, Araki suddenly realized that his biological clock was gradually adjusting. Daytime became his most energetic time, while night became the "rest" period.
That's right!
After being continuously cleansed by the green chakra, the effect of being full of vitality was even more tangible than sleeping.
After each night of training.
He felt as if he had been reborn.
As for Hyuga Sora's matter...
After being questioned by Uchiha Shichigenyu of the Konoha Military Police Force that day, there was no further news. At first, the classmates showed some concern, but gradually, it was forgotten.
It seemed that the matter had been resolved.
No more ripples were stirred.
