After all, they train in taijutsu every day. Otherwise, if the body grows unfamiliar, the results of retraining won't be as effective. Taijutsu relies on perseverance.

Hearing this, Ryosuke could only agree.

If he insisted on giving it for free, it might instead provoke the other's resentment. After all, the other was clearly a self-reliant type of ninja.

"Alright, I'll go back and ask my grandfather. If there's a large quantity, I'll sell some to you."

"Since you're training, can I join in?"

If taking a beating could enhance his abilities, then training until he was completely exhausted—wouldn't that also improve his physical stats?

Right now, the two were running, with Might Guy training alongside Lee. He couldn't very well directly request to spar with them.

Might Guy and Lee both looked surprised. They knew that in the village, very few ninjas trained this way. Moreover, the two of them were often subjects of ridicule in the village.

Might Guy couldn't help but say, "Are you sure? Running with the two of us might further tarnish the Uchiha clan's prestige."

Their concerns weren't unfounded. Yesterday, a mere sparring session had already brought the Uchiha Police Force over. And today, such running activities—viewed by the village as unconventional—seemed even less acceptable.

Skipping ninjutsu practice to train taijutsu was considered at odds with the village's values.

Ryosuke smiled and said, "It's fine. My grandfather is the Uchiha clan's elder. The Police Force can't do anything to me."

Might Guy was greatly surprised. So, he was the grandson of such an important figure. It was similar to Kakashi being the son of the Hatake clan's prominent figure—a child of a great family.

Unexpectedly, here was another descendant of a major figure reaching out to him.

A delighted expression crossed Guy's face. Was his strength finally being recognized? With a smile, he said, "Alright, since Ryosuke doesn't mind, how could I possibly mind?"

And so, Might Guy, Lee, and Uchiha Ryosuke began running around the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Their pace wasn't too fast or slow, likely accommodating Lee since he was still young.

As they ran, Might Guy shouted loudly,

"Burn, youth!" It was something his father had taught him. Such actions could help unleash the body's stamina and potential.

At the same time, he glanced at the two behind him—Lee and Ryosuke.

"Join in! Burn, youth!"

Lee immediately followed with enthusiasm,

"Burn, youth!"

Ryosuke hesitated for a moment but eventually joined in the chant,

"Burn, youth!"

Although it felt a bit cringeworthy, he was willing to endure it for the sake of strengthening himself.

And so, the three shouted slogans as they ran around the village.

Naturally, their actions attracted the attention of some villagers. Might Guy's training antics were already a regular sight, so many weren't surprised.

Guy's name had spread throughout the Leaf Village as a ninja focused on taijutsu—a field that was generally not taken seriously.

Taijutsu simply lacked the power of ninjutsu.

For instance, the Uchiha clan, known as the strongest fire-style users in the village, had devastatingly powerful fire techniques. No amount of taijutsu training could match such effects.

What surprised the villagers was seeing an Uchiha joining in.

"Since when did the Uchiha clan have such a ninja?"

"Who knows?"

"Maybe he's out of his mind."

"The Uchiha only need to train their Sharingan to become powerful ninjas, capable of reaching jonin rank. But achieving jonin status with taijutsu alone is exceedingly rare."

To their knowledge, there were few—if any—examples of ninjas reaching jonin level solely through taijutsu.

Ryosuke's behavior naturally also drew the attention of the Uchiha Police Force.

"This is disgraceful. What's with this Ryosuke kid these past few days?"

"Now he's even hanging out with Might Guy, that taijutsu idiot."

"Who knows?"

"Training in taijutsu is for those without ninjutsu talent. But Ryosuke, instead of honing his Sharingan or fire-style jutsus, is wasting his time on taijutsu. It's absurd."

"And to hang around such a talentless fool, flaunting their workouts—it's a disgrace to the Uchiha clan. We need to report this to the clan leader."

"What good would reporting do? Do you think the clan leader can do anything about Ryosuke? They'd probably just turn a blind eye."

The group felt helpless. When it came to the young generation of the Uchiha clan, names like Shisui, Itachi, and Ryosuke stood out.

Of course, the first two were prodigies renowned not just within the clan but across the village.

Ryosuke, on the other hand, was primarily known within the clan for being the elder's grandson.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not lay a finger on him.

This scene did not escape the eyes of Kurenai Yuhi, who happened to be out shopping.

She widened her eyes in surprise. Uchiha Ryosuke was training alongside Might Guy, her former classmate.

Guy was the hardworking type, often ridiculed by others. Kurenai, however, had never mocked him. On the contrary, she had felt pity for his lack of talent in ninjutsu.

If Guy had even a bit of ninjutsu aptitude, his hard work would undoubtedly have made him an exceptional ninja.

It was unfortunate. Unexpectedly, Ryosuke seemed capable of associating with such a person, without harboring the usual condescension.

Her impression of Roysuke improved further. Brave, not a bully, and lacking the arrogance typical of the Uchiha clan.

Kurenai's mother, noticing her daughter's gaze, followed it to see the Uchiha emblem on the young man's back.

"Is this the Uchiha you've been thinking about? He doesn't seem arrogant."

Kurenai was speechless. Even her mother, who disliked the Uchiha clan, seemed to have a favorable impression of Ryosuke.

'Ryosuke really was intriguing.'

Her mother picked up on Kurenai's expression of surprise. "If you like this boy, I wouldn't object. But you'll need to handle the Asuma situation carefully."

"This boy reminds me of your father—hot-blooded at first but later becoming more serious."

Hearing this, Kurenai quickly said, "Mother, what are you saying? When did I ever say I wanted to be with Ryosuke? We're just acquaintances, okay?"

Though she didn't dislike Ryosuke, that didn't mean they were destined to be together. That said, he was certainly miles ahead of Asuma.

Her mother simply smiled. If it were Ryosuke, she wouldn't oppose it. Girls could say whatever they wanted—it didn't matter.
