Respect for Suzuki's Dreams

Chapter 12 Respect for Suzuki's Dreams

At the edge of Konoha, by a lake.

Young Matt Kai was somewhat bewildered; he seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

But he knew that Suzuki was not lying to him; he genuinely admired his father.

Matt Kai's little face showed a mixture of joy and shyness as he lowered his head and whispered in reply:

"Really? I understand, thank you~"

I don't know whether he was grateful for Suzuki's encouragement and comfort, or for the rare words of praise for his father, or perhaps both.

Suzuki simply smiled again, his gaze lingering on the lake with a deep intensity, his thoughts drifting far away…

Yes, all dreams are worthy of respect!

Suzuki respects all those who have dreams, those who have the courage to pursue their dreams, and those who persevere, work hard, and never give up on their dreams...

Whether it's Dai now, Kai in the future, or Hanako beside me...

Even Danzo, who was in the shadows, was over seventy years old in the future and still dreamed of becoming Hokage. Isn't that worthy of respect?

Of course, while Suzuki was respected, the necessary tasks still needed to be done.

Suzuki gathered his thoughts, turned his head, and asked Might Guy very seriously:

"Kai, what is your dream?"

Might Guy was a little confused as to why Suzuki would ask him about a child's dream, but he still answered readily:

"My dream is to attend the Konoha Ninja Academy!"

Might Guy, who is only two or three years old, doesn't actually have any grand dreams. From the time he was old enough to understand things, he has been trained by his father, Might Day.

But his talent didn't seem to be very good, and those ninjas who had mocked his father sometimes even mocked him as well...

And whenever this happened, his father, Dai, would unusually get angry and yell back a few times, but he wouldn't do anything. Instead, he would speak to Matt Kai in a way that Matt Kai couldn't understand at all.

Yes, that's why Guy has to train hard, successfully enroll in the Konoha Ninja Academy, and become a ninja so he can protect his father, Might Guy!

Suzuki wasn't surprised by Might Guy's answer. Although Suzuki wanted to hear about some grand, ambitious dream, he answered sincerely in the face of Might Guy's determined gaze:

"Kai, your dream will come true!"

"Hehe..." Might Guy, who was only two or three years old, touched his head, grinned, and showed a mouthful of shiny white teeth as he grinned at Suzuki.

"By the way, Suzuki, you..."

"Snap!"

"Ouch, that hurts!" Matt Kai covered his head with his hands.

Call me Brother Suzuki!

Little Might Guy, after being smacked on the head by Suzuki, quickly corrected himself, "Big Brother Suzuki!"

"By the way, Suzuki-san, are you here to train too?"

Two- or three-year-old Might Guy tilted his cute little head, covered his head, and looked at Suzuki with a depressed expression.

Upon hearing Might Guy's change of address, Suzuki replied with a slight smile in his eyes:

"Yes. And you, Kai? Why are you training alone in this remote place?"

Suzuki was a little puzzled. Almost no one came to this place, and Dai usually didn't train here either.

Mighty usually trains on the streets of the village, or at a self-built training ground on the edge of the Death Forest.

Might Guy is so young, running off to such a remote place all by himself. Doesn't Might Guy care?

Matt Kai hesitated, then answered somewhat sullenly:

"My father never cared about those people, but I didn't like that feeling, so when my father went out on missions, I would secretly run away from home and come here to train."

As he spoke, Matt Kai became somewhat happy again:

"There's almost no one here, and apart from a few fewer trees, and those that aren't very thick, we have everything else! Look, we can even take a shower after training when we're sweaty~"

Matt Kai pointed to the lake as he spoke.

Ninja training requires wooden stakes. If there are no stakes, thick trees will do, so ninjas usually train in the Forest of Death.

The trees in the Death Forest, which grew using ninjutsu by the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, not only grew quickly but were also of exceptionally high quality.

Suzuki had already guessed Might Guy's answer, but he mainly asked for the purpose he needed to achieve next:

"I see. Well then, Kai, please don't sneak out from your father's place anymore, okay?"

As he spoke, Suzuki smiled gently again:

"Tell Dai that if it doesn't work, I'll go to your house with you and try to persuade her. I'll be training here every day from now on, so let's train together, okay?"

Might Guy was pleasantly surprised: "Really, Suzuki-nii-san?"

Suzuki patted Might Guy's head, still smiling gently: "Of course, it's a promise~"

Two- or three-year-old Might Guy grinned again, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and smiled foolishly at Suzuki:

"Hehehehehe..."

Suzuki responded to Might Guy's innocent, silly grin with a gentle smile, but a strange undertone lingered in his eyes...

"Since we've already run into it, we won't have to go looking for it again later."

This was the first thought that popped into Suzuki's mind when he saw Might Guy.

He didn't lie to Kai; he genuinely respected Dai, but that had nothing to do with him using Kai.

While the appearance of the clone gave Suzuki hope for a comeback, Suzuki himself still needed to make efforts, since the power of this cheat ability wasn't actually that strong.

Just like this time, Suzuki's goal is to build a good relationship with Guy and Might Dai, and then preferably obtain the forbidden technique - Eight Gates - within a few years!

Then give this forbidden technique to the clone!

The Eight Gates is a ninjutsu that Might Guy's father, Might Dai, spent twenty years learning, and later passed it on to his son, Might Guy.

In the future, Might Guy passed on the Eight Gates to his disciple Rock Lee, and during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he opened the Eighth Gate - the Gate of Death, almost killing Madara Uchiha, who had reached the Six Paths level, with a single kick!

This forbidden technique is called a forbidden technique because it is a ninjutsu that temporarily grants powerful strength by opening the channels that bind chakra within the human body. When all eight gates are open, it is also known as the "Eight Gates Formation"!

The power of the Eight Gates depends on the user, increasing exponentially with the user's own strength. The power of the Eight Gates varies from person to person.

However, the Eight Gates Formation is not only easy to learn but difficult to master, but also has extremely strong side effects. Opening the Death Gate will cause one to die from the exhaustion of one's own life force.

Suzuki's clones are perfect for this forbidden technique!

Every three months, the clone will return to the main body with all its attributes, and what is refreshed is the original Suzuki from the desert island period, which can be regarded as a newly created blank original alt account.

If the clone dies during this period, the original Suzuki will still respawn after the clone's death standby time reaches three months.

An immortal clone and the Eight Gates Formation are the perfect combination!

Then, Suzuki stood up, dusted off his clothes, and looked at Might Guy, saying:

"Kai, I'm going to school now. Shall we go back together? I'll come to your house tonight."

Might Guy thought for a moment. His father had gone on watch last night and should be home soon, so he nodded and said to Suzuki:

"Okay, Suzuki-nii, remember to come tonight!"

Suzuki chuckled and nodded, and the two left together from this remote edge of Konoha...

Please add this to your favorites! Thank you!!!
