****************
After leaving the Hokage building, instead of going home, Colt went to the largest ninja shop in Konoha.
"Hello, do you have any chakra-conductive metal here?"
"Yes, how much do you need?" A middle-aged man came out, and Colt told him his request.
The other party looked troubled. "Sir, there is no problem with what you asked, but there is not much stock in the store for the time being, and the price..."
Colt's expression did not change. "How much do you need in total?"
"Your order quantity is relatively large, and taking into account the processing fee, we can calculate a total of 80 million ryo."
Colt was already mentally prepared, yet he was still shocked. It had been known for a long time that chakra metal was very expensive, and even Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, used only a little bit.
And the amount he asked for was ten times that of what the Nidaime used…
In the end, Colt ordered 3 million ryo worth of chakra metal and paid another 100,000 ryo processing fee.
He would make a few samples to see first, and if his vision worked, then it was time to make money.
Back home, Colt smiled when he saw Ichibi frolicking in the yard.
This dog was still very obedient when he didn't demolish the house.
"Ow~! Ow~!" After seeing the master, Ichibi immediately gave up chasing the butterflies and ran to Colt's side with a wise look on his face.
"Have you listened to what Hinata and Ino said?" Colt held him up and shook him.
'He's growing fat.'
Ichibi called out two more times, indicating he was obedient, and Colt let him go.
Since he knew he needed to go out to the village frequently to perform tasks, one-size-fits-all parenting became a big problem. Originally, Colt was going to ask the neighbors to come and help feed him. But when Hinata and Ino found out, they volunteered to help.
Now it seems that these two have raised Ichibi very well. Will Inuzuka Hana regret seeing this fat body? A good ninja dog turned into a lazy, salted fish that only eats, drinks, and plays under their hands.
"Well, it looks like I have to find some training programs for you." Colt looked at Ichibi, who tilted his head and looked innocent, and silently arranged his future destiny.
After playing with him for a while, Colt also began to practice.
If the ninja world was not only limited by bloodlines, which ninjutsu belonged with the cheat levels? That would undoubtedly be the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At present, he had been able to barely perform the Flying Thunder God Technique, but the speed was very slow, and there was no guarantee of success every time.
Taking out a kunai, Colt began to draw seals on it. After a full five minutes, a Flying Thunder God Kunai was completed.
Whoosh!
With a flick of his hand, the kunai was inserted into the head of the dummy in the backyard.
'Seal'
Flying Thunder God activated!
Three seconds later, Colt appeared beside the dummy out of thin air. Hiss...three seconds.
At the same amount of time, he could have just run over.
Colt's face was speechless because he saw that the Flying Thunder God Seal on the kunai was slowly disappearing.
It was still a one-off item.
Sure enough, this bug-level space ninjutsu comparable to Kamui was not so easy to learn. Even if Colt had ninja talent, it would take a certain amount of time to complete it.
In the next few days, Colt informed Kosuke that he was going to practice ninjutsu and would not be taking assignments for the time being until he got his customized weapon.
Kosuke didn't say anything. They were not the same as normal squads.
Many ninjas keep taking tasks to support their families, and along the way, they rely on contributions to exchange ninjutsu for practice. And Colt was just aiming to gain experience.
Just like that, Colt didn't go anywhere and practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique at home. Ino and Hinata would come to sit at home for a while after their missions every day, incidentally preparing dinner.
Since the last time Hyuga Hiashi had a conversation with him, he had not stopped Hinata from seeing Colt. It seemed to have defaulted to something.
Just like that, after a week, Colt finally managed to master the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The activation time had been reduced from the original three seconds to less than one second, and the duration of the technique had also been greatly enhanced.
It's just that the two advanced applications, the second stage of Flying Thunder God and the Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder, still had some time to come along.
Teleporting to a moving object was infinitely more difficult than reaching fixed coordinates, and it cannot be perfected in a day or two.
There was also news from the ninja shop, telling him that the items were ready. But when Colt came to the ninja shop, he unexpectedly met an 'acquaintance' - Tenten.
Seeing the girl's familiar bun hairstyle, Colt's interest was picked.
This was the largest ninja shop in Konoha and had direct cooperation with the village.
It's no wonder that weapons were thrown away without thought by her when fighting every day, and they were not picked up after being thrown away.
Colt was envious of this girl.
"Hello, are you here to buy ninja gear?" Tenten's eyes also lit up. Does Konoha actually have such a handsome young guy? Although Neji in the team was good, but compared with the person in front of her, this guy still managed to beat him.
"I'm here to get the weapon that was ordered ten days ago." With that said, Colt also handed the receipt to Tenten.
"It's actually yours! Wait a minute." For this big order, even Tenten knew about it.
Few people have spent millions on chakra metal like Colt. Most people just add a little bit to the ninja gear to increase its power.
From this deal alone, her family can make a lot of money.
Soon, Tenten walked out with a wooden box. When opened, it revealed feathers that were made of chakra metal. After special processing, it was far sharper than shuriken. (E/N: It says feathers, but I think he means shurikens, might change this later if I see any proof in future chapters)
Taking one in his hand to examine, the size, weight, and workmanship were all very good. "Thank you, I will come again if needed." Colt politely thanked her and left.
Although Tenten was very cute, he already had Hinata and Ino, so he wouldn't pursue other girls.
At this moment, a passionate voice came from outside the door.
"Tenten! It's time to come out for training! Hot-blooded youth does not allow such slacking!"
Tenten's face was covered with black lines, and Colt also knew the identity of the people who came.
Besides Might Guy and Rock Lee, who else can it be?

****************
Outside the ninja shop, Might Guy and Rock Lee were upside down, walking on their hands instead of their feet.
Even while waiting for Tenten to come out, they couldn't be idle, instead, they even started doing finger push-ups. The people around them kept their distance, fearing they might catch some serious disease from the two.
This was the scene Colt encountered as he exited the shop.
"Guy-sensei, Lee, let's go quickly," Tenten urged, moving them from the front of the ninja shop. If she stayed there any longer, she would die of embarrassment.
"Yosh! Tenten, that's the spirit of youth!" Might Guy balanced himself on one hand and gave Tenten a thumbs up, revealing a dazzling smile.
Colt was startled.
'Such bright teeth! Where did Guy get his toothpaste? I want to buy a set too.'
Guy also noticed Colt, and his eyes lit up.
*Thud*
With a somersault, he landed in front of Colt.
"Would you be the famous Kamiyo Colt?"
Colt was a little puzzled.
"You know me? I didn't know I was famous…"
He didn't remember any interactions with Guy also.
"Hahahaha!" Guy gave a hearty laugh and put his hands on his hips.
"Kakashi mentioned you and said you were a genius far beyond his abilities."
"My name is Might Guy, and I'm Kakashi's eternal rival. We have faced each other more than 500 times now, and we're still tied!"
"Huh?" It was Tenten's turn to be surprised. "So, you are Kakashi-sensei's student."
As Guy's eternal rival, Tenten and the others naturally knew about Kakashi and that he had become a Jōnin instructor this year.
"I see," Colt nodded, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Guy's next action.
Guy bowed 90 degrees and said sincerely, "Kamiyo Colt, please have a taijutsu match with me!"
Colt was stunned.
...
"Is that so..."
At Konoha's Training Ground 6, Colt finally understood the situation.
There were many people at the shop earlier, so Tenten suggested they move to a training ground first.
Colt also figured out along the way why Might Guy would want to fight him, a mere Genin.
The root of the problem was Kakashi.
During a casual chat between the two Jōnin, they happened to talk about Colt. Kakashi mentioned that the taijutsu used by Colt doesn't belong to any known Konoha style.
This instantly piqued the interest of Might Guy, who was obsessed with taijutsu.
He had been searching for Colt for several days.
However, recently, Colt was either out on missions or practicing the [Flying Thunder God Technique] at home, so the two had no chance to meet at all.
Until today, when Colt went out to pick up his ninja gear, he happened to meet him, when he came to train Tenten and Lee.
"Sensei, this is really embarrassing. Even if you want to learn a new taijutsu, you should let Lee compete against him while you watch from the side. You're being too unfair," Tenten complained, her words merciless as usual.
Lee also burst into flames when he heard it. "Guy-sensei, let me compete with Colt-san!"
Guy shook his head and refused. "Lee, I understand your feelings, but Colt is an opponent that even Kakashi needs to take seriously. You still need to work harder!"
"I see, so he's a genius?" Lee looked at Colt with admiration. "Guy-sensei, I will continue to work hard."
Guy pulled Lee into his arms. "Lee, your youthful words are commendable!"
Lee: "Sensei!"
The two of them hugged each other and cried, causing Colt's brow to twitch. Were these two for real?
After such a dramatic scene, Colt agreed to Guy's request.
He was also curious about the strength of one of the greatest taijutsu masters in the ninja world.
The two faced each other, with minimal rules.
Guy took the initiative. He stepped forward on one foot and instantly closed the distance to Colt. His waist rotated, bringing a strong torque, and his right leg swept hard.
"[Leaf Hurricane]!"
Boom!
Colt moved first, blocking him with one hand, and before Guy's entire body could follow through, he countered with a punch to Guy's joints.
"As expected, it's a style I've never seen before!" Guy was not surprised but delighted.
This attack was just a test and did not use his full strength. But Colt's solution was beyond his expectations.
"Come again!"
"[Leaf Strong Whirlwind]!" "[Dynamic Entry]!" "[Leaf Rising Wind]!"
Various kicks were used in succession, but Colt showed no weakness.
Colt's fighting style, primarily based on various martial arts, was on full display.
The fists and feet of the two were constantly colliding. Every blow could split mountains, and soon the training ground was horribly destroyed.
The two spectators were stunned.
"Is this Colt's true strength?" Lee muttered to himself. He always believed that hard work could surpass any genius, but Colt's strength was enough to compete with Guy, surpassing Lee by an unknown margin.
'Could I really surpass that? No, Guy-sensei once said that the meaning of hard work is not only to surpass others but also to surpass yourself! This is the meaning of youth!'
After a brief moment of self-doubt, Lee regained his fighting spirit.
Tenten was also speechless, not expecting this handsome boy to fight so fiercely.
The battle on the field continued, and Might Guy found that his taijutsu was not as refined as Colt's. No matter how hard he tried, Colt could easily counter him.
In that case...
"[Eight Gates], open!"
"Hey, hey, Guy-sensei, you're going too far."
Colt was a little exasperated when he saw Guy's actions. This was just a friendly match. Was it necessary to open the [Eight Gates]?
"Hahaha, it's not serious, don't worry"
Guy went straight to the [Third Gate].
Tenten and Lee were also nervous. With the [Eight Gates] activated, the power and speed boost wasn't trivial. Was Guy really going to go all out?
Blocking Guy's whip-like kick once again, Colt suddenly changed his moves and withdrew from the attack range.
"Not good!"
Guy's pupils constricted, but Colt had already taken his stance.
[Colt Style · Flashback]
Lowering his body, Colt attacked Guy's chest with continuous elbow strikes, knocking him to the ground with the final blow.
His speed was unnoticeable.
"That's enough, Guy-sensei."
Instead of continuing to pursue, Colt chose to end the battle.
Guy, who was temporarily restrained, also came to his senses and realized that he had gotten so excited that he even used the [Eight Gates].
"Colt, forgive me, I got too excited"
He quickly apologized.
Colt shook his head and spoke up.
"Don't worry about it"
In fact, he found the fight quite exhilarating.
A battle of pure taijutsu was truly a man's romance.
