Looking at the serious look on Fujin's face and his glowing eyes, Guy said, "My fighting style is called the Strong Fist style. Unlike the Senju Taijutsu style which uses Chakra to just enhance the power behind the punch or the kick, this method enhances the entire body. Though it lacks explosive strength, its impact is much higher."
Fujin was still surprised. He replied, "I see."
He thought, 'I should have expected his fighting method to not be merely Taijutsu. His chakra is completely infused in his body! There is no leakage. But…
This method is different from just concentrating chakra in one part of the body. Infusing chakra directly into the body puts intense pressure on muscles and the chakra network itself.
I can understand infusing chakra in Limbs. I should be able to do that as well. Though it might be a bit painful. But infusing chakra in vital organs is very risky. Is his chakra control and medical knowledge so good that he is so confident in not damaging himself? But that doesn't sound like Guy at all!'
Before he could analyze further, Guy made a move. He burst forward like a bullet and within the blink of an eye, he had reached Fujin.
Fujin's eyes widened as he thought, 'So fast!'
He immediately clenched his right fist and concentrated a lot of chakra on it and punched at the incoming fist. The two fists collided, causing a strong shockwave to spread from the impact. Fujin and Guy immediately jumped back and created some distance between themselves.
Fujin shook his right hand and complained, "What is your fist made of? I felt like I was hitting Iron!"
Guy chuckled, "You aren't bad yourself. Get ready. I'm about to be serious."
He moved towards Fujin and both exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks once again. Suddenly, Guy took a step back and began spinning while shouting, "Severe Leaf Hurricane!"
He unleashed a series of kicks, targeting Fujin's legs, Waist and Head in a random pattern. However, Fujin managed to block or dodge every kick. Suddenly, Guy jumped in the air and attacked Fujin with a heel drop.
Fujin immediately moved out of the way and retreated. As he expected, as soon as Guy's kick landed on the ground, rocks were sent flying everywhere around him.
Guy ignored those rocks and attacked Fujin again. As the two of them fought, Fujin analyzed Guy's abilities. He thought, 'In terms of speed, he is just barely slower than Hiruzen! The only way I could be faster than him is if I use Assassin's Rush jutsu. Though if he uses the Inner Gates, I doubt Assassin's Rush jutsu would be able to keep up. Not to mention, Assassin's Rush only provides a linear speed boost.
That said, though he is faster, I can still keep up and defend myself, even if just barely. One mistake and I'll take a bad punch or a kick.
I'm very intrigued about this Strong Fist style though. His punches and kicks are enhanced with chakra. But not the same degree of chakra as the Senju Taijutsu style. I can concentrate far more chakra in my fists and legs than him.
On the flip side, the Senju Taijutsu style consumes chakra at a much higher rate. And it doesn't buff speed or defenses like the Strong Fist style. Still…'
Despite seeing it for a considerable amount of time, Fujin could still not wrap his head around one fact. He cursed, 'I still can't believe how fucking good Guy's chakra control is! Isn't he supposed to be an untalented ninja who reached the top with nothing but hard work and determination? This changes my entire understanding of this world!'
Of course, Fujin would never say that out loud. Fujin and Guy kept going at each other relentlessly for over 2 hours before finally stopping.
Fujin sat on the ground while breathing heavily while Guy sat on a broken tree while taking deep breaths as well. Guy said, "You are good. No one other than Kakashi gives me such an intense fight. I see why you received such a huge bounty."
Fujin was surprised to hear that. He asked, "You know about my bounty?"
Guy replied, "How could I not? It's the talk of the village as of now. Everyone is curious about you."
Guy put on his trademark smile and gave Fujin a thumbs up as he said enthusiastically, "Seeing someone as young as you getting such a high bounty makes the youth in me explode!"
Fujin watched Guy and sighed in relief internally while thinking, 'Lucky. I thought he might begin shedding tears and summon a Sunset right at noon!'
Fujin got up and said, "I'm more impressed by you, Guy. Is it fine if I ask some questions about your Strong Fist style?"
Guy replied, "Ask! I can't deny the request of someone so youthful!"
Fujin asked, "How can you infuse chakra in your entire body? Doesn't it put a strain on your muscles, chakra network and even your internal organs?"
Guy answered, "It's simple. The answer is hard work!"
Fujin was confused. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Guy put up his trademark smile again and answered, "You just have to keep training day in and day out until the chakra infuses naturally in your body?"
Fujin's left eyebrow twitched. He asked, "Do you mean that you don't do that via chakra control?"
Guy replied, "No. That's too complicated."
He gave Fujin a thumbs up again and said, "You just need to keep training until that happens naturally. There is no other way. At least none that I know of."
Fujin sighed internally and thought, 'I should have known. Top-tier chakra control and medical knowledge just don't match Guy's personality.'
He became serious as he analyzed, 'Still, though the method is strange and unconventional, I don't think it will be risky. In fact, I have a feeling that this might be a prerequisite for learning the Eight Inner Gates. Or at the very least, being able to strengthen the body this way could help in improving the ability to sustain the Eight Inner Gates.
The reason why I don't think this is risky is due to how often Guy might be using it. In the future, Lee would master this easily too. And it's possible that Might Duy knew this as well. Or perhaps he knew something similar and Guy improved upon it.'
Guy saw Fujin in a deep thought and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Fujin said, "I have been feeling like my Taijutsu has been stuck at the same level for a couple of years. I was wondering whether you could help me develop a new training plan for myself."
Guy raised his thumb again and replied with his trademark smile, "You can count on me."
Fujin said, "Also, one of the reasons why my Taijutsu was stuck was due to a lack of fights as I prefer using Ninjutsu in combat. So, can you please spar with me on a regular basis?"
A grin formed on his face as Fujin added, "I have a feeling that I'll improve rapidly if I keep sparring with you like we did today."
Guy grinned as well and said enthusiastically, "Of course. I can already see us unleashing our youthfulness in our spars! Do you have any other requests?"
A smile formed on Fujin's face. He said, "Just one more thing. How much did you hold back against me today?"
A look of surprise appeared on Guy's face. However, it quickly turned into a smile. He said, "I am surprised you noticed."
Though Fujin had said that his Taijutsu was growing rusty, he was still very confident in his Taijutsu. He was confident in winning even against the Hyuga elites in Taijutsu. The number of ninjas who could defeat him in Taijutsu was quite low.
However, despite his confidence, Fujin was one of the few who knew how insanely strong Guy was. In fact, even the ones who knew Guy's strength didn't know how strong Guy could be for sure. In fact, Fujin knew about it more than even Guy himself did.
In addition, unlike Fujin, who trained in every aspect, Guy focused entirely on his Taijutsu. Despite his confidence, Fujin clearly knew that he was far inferior to Guy in Taijutsu.
Guy answered, "Not much. My speed and power are as you saw. I just pulled a few punches to not injure you."
Fujin thought, 'I see. He didn't consider the Eight Inner Gates.'
Fujin replied, "Alright. Thank you. Hopefully, you won't have to hold back against me soon. Let's start creating a training plan."
Fujin and Guy began discussing Fujin's current body training plan and began creating a new one. Fujin's goal for this new training plan was to infuse the chakra in his body just like how Guy could.
