Maito Dai and Mugetsu walked into the house together.
"Welco ho, Dad," Might Guy greeted — but the mont his eyes landed on his father, he froze.
Dai was glowing. No — greener than green.
He was wearing a green Chunin vest over his jumpsuit!
Normally, Dai's outfit was just the classic full-body jumpsuit, but that extra layer — the symbol of a recognized shinobi rank — shone like a beacon.
"Dad… that incredibly amazing and youthful thing you ntioned—could it be…?" Guy's voice trembled with anticipation, his eyes widening as realization struck.
"That's right!" Dai grinned broadly, his perfect white teeth glinting under the light. "It's exactly what you're thinking!"
He gave himself a dramatic thumbs-up, proudly declaring,
"From today onward, I'm no longer Konoha's Genin Maito Dai — I am Konoha's Chunin Maito Dai!"
"Dad! You've finally been promoted to Chunin! No one can ever call you a 'perpetual Genin' again!" Guy shouted, rushing forward and wrapping his father in a fierce embrace.
Dai hugged his son back tightly, both of them crying tears of unrestrained joy.
Guy's heart overflowed with pride that his father had finally cast off the label that haunted him for years.
Dai's joy, anwhile, ca from knowing that he could finally give his son a better future — and the recognition he had long been denied.

Obito scratched his head, blinking in confusion.
In his mind, becoming a Chunin wasn't that big of a deal — after all, Kakashi had achieved it at six. But even he could feel it — the genuine, unfiltered emotion between this father and son.
Shisui silently watched the touching reunion, his fingers brushing against the hilt of his short blade. For a fleeting mont, he thought of his own family… then smiled faintly, unbothered by envy.
Kakashi, however, understood better than anyone present. He'd known Guy for years — ever since their days at the Academy.
He still rembered how his father, the White Fang, had once looked at Guy's na on the entrance list and said, "Kakashi, keep an eye on this boy. He may one day surpass you."
Kakashi had also known Guy's struggles — how people mocked his father, how Guy had once picked fights with older ninja who insulted him, and how Kakashi himself had to step in that day to stop him from getting seriously hurt.
For Kakashi, seeing Dai in a Chunin vest wasn't just touching — it was justice finally served.
---
"Guy," Dai said suddenly, placing a firm hand on his son's shoulder. "You should thank Teacher Mugetsu. Without him, this promotion wouldn't have been possible."
Mugetsu smiled faintly from the side. Dai wasn't wrong — his help had covered everything: arranging the eting with the Hokage, preparing the dicine, and ensuring the right mont.
"Teacher Mugetsu, thank you for everything you've done for !" Guy exclaid, tears welling up again.
Thinking back on everything Mugetsu had done for him, Guy felt a deep warmth in his chest.
From teaching him powerful techniques like Rock Breathing, to providing secret dicines every month that healed fatigue and hidden injuries — Mugetsu's care had been constant, patient, and selfless.
But this… this went beyond all of that.
He had even helped his father — the man Guy respected most — rise from ridicule to honor.
For Guy, this was already the greatest birthday gift imaginable.
Mugetsu smiled softly and took out a handkerchief, gently wiping away Guy's tears.
He normally wouldn't do sothing like this — too sentintal for his taste — but in that mont, surrounded by emotion, it felt perfectly fitting.

"After all," Obito grinned, breaking the mood, "that's the omnipotent Sage Mugetsu for you!"
He reached into his bag and pulled out a folded green jumpsuit, handing it to Guy with pride.
"This is my gift! I had it specially custom-made — it even has the character 'Guy' embroidered on the chest!"
Guy's eyes sparkled as he unfolded it. Sure enough, Obito wasn't lying — the character "'Guy'" glead boldly on the chest.
"Obito, you have excellent taste!" Guy said, giving him a big thumbs-up. "This is perfect!"
"Haha, I figured since you wear jumpsuits every day, you'd appreciate it," Obito said smugly.
"This is mine," Rin said with a warm smile, handing over a carefully folded piece of paper.
Guy accepted it gently — it was a drawing.
He looked at it closely and burst into laughter.
It was a depiction of their daily training: Guy lifting a massive rock while drenched in sweat; Shisui launching a huge fireball; Obito clutching his head while yelling about sothing; and Mugetsu standing calmly nearby, fingers forming a sign of focus.
The scene radiated warmth and camaraderie.
"Haha! It's drawn so well! And Obito's expression when he gets hit — it's exactly like real life!" Guy laughed heartily.
"Huh? What do you an 'getting hit'?!" Obito protested, leaning in — and imdiately froze when he saw his own exaggerated expression on the paper.
"Why is everyone else training, and I'm the only one getting beaten up?! Rin, you misunderstand too much!"
"I thought it'd make the picture more interesting," Rin giggled, covering her mouth with a soft laugh.
---
Shisui smiled and handed over his own gift — a set of weighted training bands.
Kakashi followed, offering a few vials of specialized recovery dicine.
Finally, Mugetsu stepped forward.
"This," he said, taking out a slim, leather-bound notebook, "is a compilation of Taijutsu training insights that your father and I wrote together. Even if we're not beside you, you can still follow the thods inside to continue your training."
Guy's breath hitched as he accepted the notebook with trembling hands.
"Guy! Your youth is always moving forward!" Dai declared with a fiery grin.
A breeze passed through the open window, flipping the notebook open — revealing neat pages filled with notes, diagrams, and techniques on Rock Breathing and the Eight Gates. Two distinct handwritings covered the pages — Dai's bold and forceful, Mugetsu's refined and precise.
For a mont, Guy could almost see the two of them sitting together, carefully writing, exchanging ideas, and laughing between lines.
Tears welled up once more, falling freely as he bowed deeply.
"Teacher Mugetsu… Dad… thank you both! I won't let you down!"
Mugetsu smiled quietly. A gold mine indeed, he thought to himself, watching the scene unfold — warmth in his eyes, calculation in his heart.
