Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 179 Kakashi's Passion

Kakashi had already landed in the nearby woods. He knelt on the grass, clutching his painful spot with one hand, and complained, "That bastard Naruto, he doesn't know his own strength."

He felt a burning pain slowly spreading from that spot, which seemed to have swelled up. Kakashi was on the verge of tears, wondering how he was going to get back now.

At that moment, Kakashi faintly heard Boruto and the others' voices in the distance, which startled him. He thought to himself, "Oh no, I absolutely can't let them see me in this disheveled state."

However, the pain behind him made it impossible for him to straighten his back, and his movements became extremely difficult. Despite the unbearable pain, Kakashi began to crawl with difficulty in the opposite direction from which the sound came.

Kakashi was thinking of finding a secluded place to recover some of his strength before returning home in a more dignified manner.

......

"If I can't do 5000 one-handed push-ups, I'll challenge Kakashi to another round: 4395, 4396, 4397, 4398..."

While doing his daily physical training, Matt Kai noticed an unusual noise coming from the bushes in the distance. He immediately stopped exercising, went over, and parted the bushes to find out what was going on.

When he saw Kakashi crawling forward, he was overjoyed and excitedly greeted him: "Hey! Isn't this Kakashi? What are you doing lying on the ground?"

Kakashi's heart tightened when he saw Might Guy. How could he let Guy know that he had been stabbed by his student with the Thousand Years of Death and was unable to stand up?

He was just about to make up an excuse to cover up his embarrassment when Might Guy clapped his hands, seemingly suddenly understanding something, and excitedly said, "I get it! Kakashi, you're imitating the insects' behavior to hone yourself, right! You truly are my eternal rival, Kakashi!"

When Might Guy got excited, he slapped Kakashi's upturned butt hard, almost sending Kakashi flying.

Despite the excruciating pain and with tears welling in his eyes, Kakashi forced a smile and replied, "Yes, Guy, you always seem to see right through me."

Immediately afterwards, Might Guy imitated Kakashi, wriggling on the ground, trying to improve his physical abilities in Kakashi's way.

Kakashi was extremely anxious. If Boruto and the others found out about what had happened, what would become of his reputation?

Kakashi frowned. He had to get out of this predicament. His eyes scanned his surroundings, and when his gaze fell on Might Guy beside him, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

So Kakashi said to Might Guy, "Guy, let's have a long-awaited match!"

When Might Guy heard Kakashi propose a match, it was exactly what he wanted. He was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, and tears almost welled up in his eyes: "How youthful! Kakashi, you actually asked for a match! Right! What's the match about? I'll definitely win this time!"

Kakashi proposed a condition for the contest: "If you can get me to Konoha Hospital within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you win." He would first have Guy take him to Konoha Hospital, and then find an excuse to leave.

"Oh! Just watch! Kakashi! I'm fired up now!" Might Guy was unusually excited after hearing Kakashi's suggestion.

After saying that, he immediately picked Kakashi up from the ground, carried him on his back, and spread Kakashi's legs apart to maintain balance, supporting his thighs and knees with his hands.

However, this series of actions caused Kakashi to feel a sharp pain, and he secretly groaned in his heart that his anus had been injured a second time, the pain feeling like it was being torn apart.

Once ready, Might Guy didn't hesitate at all and rushed straight towards Konoha Hospital.

Kakashi endured the pain and said urgently, "Hiss~~ Guy, slow down."

Might Guy, however, seemed unfazed by Kakashi's warning and instead became even more enthusiastic: "What are you talking about! Youth waits for no one! Kakashi!"

This was a rare opportunity for him to defeat Kakashi, how could he let it slip by? Might Guy's passion and enthusiasm were ignited at this moment, and he ran even faster than before.

Might Guy didn't notice that Kakashi behind him, unable to withstand the violent jolting, had his eyes roll back and eventually passed out.

A short while after Might Guy left, Boruto and the others arrived at the location. "This is strange. I clearly remember Kakashi-sensei flying this way," they said.

"Logically speaking, Kakashi-sensei's area was severely damaged, so he shouldn't have been able to go far." Sakura said, frowning as she began to worry about Kakashi-sensei's condition.

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her, and she covered her mouth, her voice tinged with fear as she said, "Ah? Could it be that Kakashi-sensei has been carried off by a wild beast in the forest?"

Hearing Sakura's worries, Boruto felt a little ashamed. In this forest of Konoha, he had never seen a beast capable of carrying away an elite Jonin.

Although Kakashi-sensei is currently injured, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and his strength should not be underestimated. Unless it is Guy-sensei, who is known as the "proud blue beast of Konoha," ordinary beasts will hardly pose a threat to Kakashi-sensei.

However, Boruto still used his sensory abilities to carefully examine the surrounding environment and try to catch Kakashi-sensei's presence.

However, after a thorough search, Boruto confirmed that Kakashi-sensei was indeed no longer in this area. After all, he wouldn't be able to face anyone in his current state.

So the three of them had no choice but to leave temporarily and prepare some tonics to visit Kakashi-sensei later to express their apologies.

Just as Boruto and the others were about to leave, Jiraiya and Tsunade arrived at the forest behind them.
