Guy, why'd you do such a thing?!

Papa...

How can you stay so positive and optimistic?

Hm?

When does one's youth really come to an end?

Well, as long as you never turn your back against

youth, then it will never end.

You're saying that youth doesn't come to an

end when you die?!

Oh! C'mon, Guy! That is when youth reaches its climax!

And when it burns the brightest of all!

You're crazy, Papa! Youth doesn't matter even a little

bit when you die!

You can believe in it until you die, but there's no

guarantee you'll win against someone strong!

Like what happened to me today!

You must understand, my son, that true victory isn't

about winning against someone strong.

What it's actually about is defending what's most

important to you!

[stunned gasp]

I just... I wanted to...

I only wanted to defend this "youth" you keep talking about!

[gasp]

[crying]

No matter how many times one does so, deciding someone's

future is something one never gets used to.

Huh?

[chuckle]

Papa!

Guy!

Looks like those two are at it again.

It's really getting out of hand!

Someone should report them!

All my son's efforts have been rewarded!

I've been accepted as an alternate!

So thank you for all of your support!

Clone Jutsu!

Well, okay. It's a start, at least.

Kakashi Hatake! You're next. Let's see your clone!

What's wrong? Come up here and-! [gasp]

No way! Oh! Wow! Did you see that!

Wow! Well, there's no denying that you're Sakumo's son!

To do a Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Papa, I think there really are people who can be

considered geniuses!

Might Guy!

Come on and step up to the front.

Uh... Yes!

All right, do your Clone Jutsu.

Yes! Right!

That kid can't even do ninjutsu at all!

Aw man, looks like he's gonna pee his pants!

Come on, do it, already!

All right, fine!

Clone Jutsu!

[laughter]

No way! Who'd wear a jumpsuit like that?!

Seriously! That thing is way ugly!

Like Papa said, I have something that shines brillantly!

Yes! My Taijutsu is already shining brilliantly!

That's right. What they say doesn't matter!

I'm my own person! I'll follow papa's example

and do my best according to my self-rule!

If I can't run five hundred laps, I'll do five hundred

on my hands!

If I can't do five hundred laps on my hands, then I'll

just have to do five hundred push-ups!

If I can't do the push-ups, then I'm just gonna have to

do five hundred of them on my fingertips!

Fifteen!

[laughter]

He couldn't do any of the things he said he could do!

He can't even do Taijutsu!

Papa told me that effort always, always pays off

in the end!

[shocked gasping]

You fool!

I have no doubt whatsoever that, that boy will become

your lifelong rival!

So why aren't you challenging him, Guy?!

That's crazy... He's a genius!

All that'd happen is I'd lose! It's obvious!

And so what if you do lose?!

Come on! I'll go with you!

Let's go find that Kakashi boy.

What?! But, no, wait! Just hold on!

All right, look. I'll make a self-rule about it?

Oh? A self-rule! That's great!

If I can do five hundred laps around the school, then

I'll challenge Kakashi!

Well said, Guy! Now that's more like my son!

Thank you for your support!

Four hundred and ninety-six.

Damn it!

Huh? Wait, I'm not exhausted?!

I don't feel like I need to stop, yet!

That's five hundred laps!

I did it!

I don't have to challenge him now!

If I can do five hundred laps like this, then I vow

to challenge Kakashi and defeat him!

Four hundred ninety-eight...

That's five hundred laps!

I did it again!

Five hundred... Five hundred and one...

Five hundred and two... Five hundred and three...

Five hundred and four...

It seems like he's able to accomplish it so easily.

He's really doing it.

Seven hundred fourty-nine... Seven hundred fifty...

Seven hundred fifty-one...

Seven hundred fifty-two...

Seven hundred fifty-three...

Seven hundred fifty-four...

Seven hundred fifty-five...

Seven hundred fifty-six...

Seven hundred fifty-seven...

Oh, I see. So you haven't been able to challenge

Kakashi, yet.

Oh, well! You're still following your self-rules!

Yeah...

You realize it's because you're doing

such a good job honing your strengths, right?

[chuckle]

Now, I'm going to challenge myself by running up and

down this mountain five hundred times!

What was...?!

If that genius trains just as hard as I do, then what

chance do I possibly have to beat him?

But, I won't lose in hard work and perseverance!

Is that boy climbing up there Kakashi?

Hm.

I made a mistake.

There's nothing wrong with wishing or praying for

success, as a self-rule.

He intimidates you, isn't that right?

If I can complete five thousand laps, then I

promise that I'll go and challenge Kakashi!

Very well said, my dear son!

Do your very best, my son!

The road of your youth stretches out boundlessly

before you!

Three hundred forty-five!

Run! Run into the sunset!

[gasp] Five hundred...

Guy, run! Keep on going!

One thousand, five hundred and seven...

Go! The springtime of youth is still chasing after you, Guy!

Two thousand, eight hundred forty-nine.

I want to challenge you!

I will not lose!

Five thousand!

Congratulations, Guy!

Thanks, Papa.

So this is it! This is what youth is?

So how about it?

Let's go lay our youth on the line in hot-blooded battle!

There's no way I'll lose to you in taijutsu!

[grunt] What strength!

Leaf Hurricane!

Here I come!

Bring it on!

Rock, Paper, Scissors! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Nice job! You've graduated from the Academy, Guy.

But remember, you cannot graduate from youth!

Of course! And I don't care at all if I die as a remnant

of youth!

I'll stay forever in the academy that we call youth!

Thank you for all your support!

Operation Cat Rescue is a success! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Listen to this! Lord Hokage himself praised me as the

master of finding lost cats!

Oh...

[laughter] Isn't that a wonderful compliment?

But, dad is this really the climax of your youth?

Hm.

Well...

Depending on how things go with the Third Great Ninja

War, we may end up making some changes in team formations.

But, for right now, I'm going to be your team

captain, Choza Akimichi.

Since fate has brought us all together to be a team, we-

Please forgive me! I'll never make this mistake again!

You say that, but you keep making the same mistake over

and over again.

I have no choice but to drop you.

Please, not that!

Um...

You keep asking me. But, frankly, I'm tired of

hearing it from you!

Please, just give me one more chance! I'll take any

mission at all! I'll work harder than ever before!

Please, I beg you!

Please, just, don't drop me...

How can he humiliate himself like that? I mean, that's

not what youth's about!

Maybe. Isn't that how he raised you, though?

Huh?

I don't think that there's a cooler shinobi out there...

There's no one who's quite like your dad.

You must understand, my son, that true victory isn't

about winning against someone strong.

What it's actually about is defending what's most

important to you!

Father...

Guy, you've become a fine young man...

There's only one remaining thing that I can

do for you now.

All right, pay very close attention, Guy.

[power yell]

[gasp] Father! What's this?!

It's the Eight Inner Gates. It's a Forbidden Jutsu!

Father's mastered such a move?! When did he do this...?

When I was a genin, I trained every day and after

twenty years, I finally grasped this jutsu.

Twenty years!

This is really the only move that I'm able to pass on to

you as your father.

And I'm sure that it will become a most

special jutsu to you.

A special jutsu?

You've become a splendid shinobi! But I shall impose

one strict condition upon the use of this technique.

A self-rule!

You're giving me a self-rule?

Father...

His chakra is spreading toward the Death Gate Chakra Point.

Father, I've...

The Eighth Gate... of Death!

It's no use. We've been surrounded.

And there's no chance we can escape...

No way. Aren't those the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

So even brats from other villages know us?

It seems that we've gotten real famous.

Oh, what's this? It's slight, but the blade's

gotten chipped!

I have to let it drink some of their blood so that it

can restore itself with the iron within.

Well? What now? We can't take them on alone!

[chuckle] Ah, ha! I made it in time!

Father?!

But you're a genin, father! What're doing here?!

Hush and run away, you three! I'll hold the fort

and buy you time!

Run away?! But father, our enemies are powerful jonin!

They're the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

You don't stand a chance against any of them!

I've got the Gate of Death.

I can unleash the Eight Inner Gates Formation!

Yes, but Father, that's...

The self-rule!

[shocked gasp]

Now's the time...

Open! Eight Inner Gates Formation!

...to protect something precious enough to give your life for!

Guy, you really mean it?!

I can't believe this.

Red vapor. The blood vapor that's peculiar to all eight

gates being open.

[chuckle] Hmph. But now, actually seeing it with my

own eyes, it's almost the color of dead

autumn leaves that have fallen off their tree.

I'll admit, you're not wrong. But they're not

falling without reason or purpose.

Hm?

They'll become the nourishment for fresh green leaves!

And thus the period they bridge, until the new spring

when fresh leaves bud once again, is the climax of youth!

When it burns most crimson!

Sekizo!

What has Might Guy done?

The Eight Inner Gates Formation. It lets someone

draw out their maximum power by releasing all

the limiters that're placed on it.

Releasing all eight limiters results in power tens of

times greater than that of the Five Kage.

But...

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Eight Inner

Gates Formation"

You're the first since Hashirama to make me this excited!
