Capítulo 57: Chapter 57: He is Stunning Might Dai!
After Might Dai finished explaining the requirements for push-ups to Araki and asked him to train, he was actually testing him.
Might Dai was someone who appeared rough on the outside but was meticulous on the inside.
Among the passionate words Araki spoke, he felt a sense of camaraderie. However, he didn't immediately entrust his youth to Araki with blind enthusiasm.
He needed to test it out!
To see if Araki could really persevere as he claimed!
It's too early to be happy now!
However, he was concerned about Araki's feelings, so he acted excited to avoid letting Araki feel disappointed.
Might Dai knew very well how difficult it was to perform push-ups that relied on core strength. In terms of difficulty and fatigue from exertion, they far exceeded regular push-up movements.
Might Dai's training methods had always been simple.
Push-ups.
Squats and jumps.
Sit-ups.
High-knee running.
And so on...
From an external perspective, these movements didn't seem particularly special, but they continuously trained the core of the body.
There was only one purpose for doing this.
To continuously push the limits of the body through daily training, break free from the constraints of the body, unlock the restrictions on chakra, and release the body's full potential.
Might Dai asked Araki to do 300 push-ups, but in his heart, he only expected him to do 30.
All of this was just a test of Araki's abilities, such as physical fitness, comprehension, and level of perseverance.
After all, Araki had just begun his training.
Physical training must progress gradually, and everything must not be rushed. It requires daily perseverance until eventually, the brilliant lotus blooms, and one becomes a true shinobi of Konoha.
That's why Might Dai had been closely observing Araki. He silently admired Araki's precise posture and his eyes sparkled with appreciation.
"This kid has strong comprehension."
"Just by watching me do push-ups and asking questions earlier, he figured out the correct positions for exerting force."
"I'm no match for him in this aspect!"
Might Dai sighed inwardly. Even when he was training, he didn't grasp the method of exerting core strength as quickly as Araki did. It was a very difficult task that required a high level of control over one's own body, being able to freely manipulate the muscles in the core to exert force and drive the other muscles.
Among the ninja in Konoha who could achieve this, almost all of them were already Jounin.
The core's strength influenced the balance and coordination of various movements, and these were unavoidable in the Chunin exams.
"However, he probably won't be able to hold on for long. The physical exhaustion is too great in this precise posture. He just started his training, and it's already remarkable that he can do 30. Let's see how long he can endure."
Might Dai silently evaluated in his mind. Many Jounin could accomplish this kind of exertion, but not many could handle such a massive amount of repetitive training like Araki.
Sometimes he felt fortunate for his Genin status. It meant fewer mission opportunities and more time to immerse himself in training.
However...
Just as Might Dai watched Araki trembling all over with sweat dripping, thinking Araki was about to give up, he suddenly saw Araki's body straighten up, and he resumed the motion. The stagnant movement became smooth again, the sweat still dripping, and the muscles still trembling, but it seemed like he wasn't as tired.
"What strong willpower!"
Might Dai widened his eyes, his pupils contracted fiercely, and deep within his eyes, a strong sense of shock emerged.
As a shinobi specialized
in Taijutsu...
He knew all too well what kind of willpower it took to break through the limits of the body!
This was no longer something done to impress others; it was entirely for oneself. Even the most determined heart would constantly be met with other voices, telling them it was almost time to give up.
In that moment...
Might Dai's respect surged.
It was at this moment that he truly believed Araki was genuinely burning his youth.
"That's the feeling!"
"Araki, go for it, keep going!"
"This is youth!"
Might Dai suddenly shouted loudly, raising his hand and once again giving Araki a thumbs-up.
Now he fully recognized Araki.
Although they had just met that day and he had only done a few dozen push-ups, the romance of youth was that simple.
...
Araki was struggling against the fatigue in his body. He could clearly feel that every additional push-up he did was accumulating exhaustion, growing exponentially. He couldn't help but marvel at the intensity of Kaioh's training throughout his life.
If it weren't for the chakra continuously flowing from his heart position, he would have collapsed on the ground long ago. There was simply no way he could continue without it.
You see...
His physical fitness was among the top in his class!
He wasn't inferior to anyone in his class!
Including Namikaze Minato, but excluding Uzumaki Kushina. The physical fitness of the Uzumaki clan was simply insane.
However...
Just as Araki was persevering in this manner, he suddenly heard a cheer that sounded like thunder, filled with a youthful atmosphere. It startled him, almost taking his breath away and causing him to almost collapse on the ground.
"Yes... Yes!"
Araki took a deep breath, controlling his intermittent breathing and barely managed to respond to Might Dai.
Throughout the whole process, Araki didn't show any signs of hesitation. He maintained a steady rhythm while doing push-ups and was already approaching a hundred.
...
Might Dai's heart finally stirred.
He stood beside Araki, his face filled with a smile, becoming serious and focused.
This talent!
This perseverance!
This determination!
Isn't this the successor he has been longing for and dreaming of!
That's right!
It's him!
Might Dai's childhood enthusiasm gradually grew fiery. He had finally found another individual with the potential to break through the limitations of the body and enter the Eight Inner Gates formation.
This was his disciple!
The perfect disciple for him!
In that moment...
Might Dai silently made up his mind to devote everything he had to train Araki, to make him the strongest Taijutsu ninja who surpasses himself.
...
Araki, who was doing push-ups, was unaware of Might Dai's thoughts. He was still focused on controlling his breathing.
He knew he couldn't aim for first place easily, as it would be too conspicuous. But he couldn't afford to score at the bottom either, as people would think he's useless.
The best result was to maintain an above-average performance, not too outstanding, not too noticeable. People in this range hardly attracted any attention.
But...
In his training of physical techniques.
Since he had no point of reference, he had no concept of doing 300 push-ups. He only felt incredibly exhausted.
Araki had just witnessed Might Dai completing 3,000 push-ups with a single finger. If he could only do a few dozen, it would be too embarrassing. Such talent might disappoint Might Dai.
He had to aim for around 200 push-ups, but couldn't reach the required 300.
In this way...
It coincidentally matched his positioning of being above average.
However...
What Araki didn't know was...
He was astonishing Might Dai!
