Y is for Youth

Out of all the people in the village, Ibiki's least favorite was Might Guy. Dressed in green, way too muscular, and freakily happy, Ibiki could live the rest of his life without seeing Guy. Actually, he'd rather live that way. Guy scared Ibiki like no one else, and when Anko discovered this she requested Guy's assistance for a short-term internship in T&I. Ibiki's response? He went on his first month-long mission in five years.

Over time, Ibiki learned to appreciate Guy's dedication to the village…from a distance. His obsession with youth was understandable from Ibiki's point of view, as he knew that aging men could reflect on their past and wish for it to return. Ibiki pretty much figured that Guy was going through a mid-life crisis.

And yet…Guy did seem happy. Ibiki knew he was probably just so simple-minded that he couldn't be anything else, but…he couldn't help but smile just a little when he saw the Green Beast yelling and joking with his friends.

And then grimance. Stupid beast.
