Chapter 679: Learning Eight Inner Gates Formation II
Seeing that after hearing the description of the Gate of Death, and the consequences of opening it, not only were they not scared, but in fact, they started to consider something, it is as if they really planned to use the Gate of Death!
Guy was speechless and asked strangely, “Hey… Hey… the two of you can’t be serious, are the two of you considering it?”
Kakashi shook his head in response, and while restraining his thoughts, he answered, “No… nothing…”
At the same time, Kuroto also retracted his thought and said with a smile, “Don’t worry Guy, we understand the benefits and consequences of opening the Gate of Death, obviously, we won’t try to use it unless we are left with no other choice.”
Guy shouted, “You two aren’t being serious… don’t think that opening Gate of Death is so simple that you can open it just by wanting to open it… I have been training for years now and I have only opened the Seventh Gate, in fact, I haven’t even fully adapted to the Seventh Gate, reaching the Gate of Death is still too far, and two of you are already planning to…”
Kakashi lightly bonked Guy’s head, and said, “Guy, calm down… what Kuroto said is true, we won’t use it unless absolutely necessary… Now, we understand the basics of all the gates and mechanisms of the Eight Inner Gates Formation works, so you can start teaching us how to break those limiters.”
Guy sighed, “You guys…” and nodded, “Alright, I am now going to demonstrate the process of opening the gate, let’s start with the first gate. The two of you should observe me closely to get a better understanding.”
Both Kuroto and Kakashi nodded and focused their attention on Guy.
‘Eight Inner Gates Formation: The Gate of Opening: Open!’
Whiiish…
As Guy opened the first gate, the air around him swirled, in fact, with the help of his Byakugan, Kuroto was even able to observe a rush of chakra around him.
“Now, look closely…” he said and disappeared from his position, immediately afterward, he appeared a dozen meters away, and said, “My speed has increased several times…” Then he took a punching stance, and ‘Haaa…’ he landed a punch on the tree ‘Smash…’, smashing it into countless small fragments, and pointed out, “My physical strength has also increased several times…”
For the next few instants, Guy performed a series of movements such as kicks, jumps, dashes, as well as body flickers, then appeared back in his original position, closed the Gate of Opening, and then explained, “You see… The Gate of Opening breaks the first limit that is placed on our body by our brain, and this limiter limits the extent of physical energy we can use.”
Kuroto nodded, “Well, the effect isn’t too obvious to the eye, but it exists.”
Kuroto could clearly see that after Guy opened the Gate of Opening, apart from the increase of chakra in his body, the muscle movement of his body has improved, especially the expansion and contraction of muscles, as well as the blood flow.
Kakashi also nodded with a solemn expression, “As expected… This is what I really need…!”
Seeing the expressions of Kakashi and Kuroto, Guy didn’t forget to explain in detail the specific benefits and changes as a result of opening the first gate, “Once this Gate of Opening is breached, we can utilize 100% of our physical energy, so whether it is our speed or strength everything gets a boost.” And then questioned, “Do you two understand?”
Kakashi and Kuroto glanced at each other, and nodded simultaneously, “Yes.”
Guy said, “Alright then… Since the two of you understand this, why don’t you two give it a try?” and added after a pause, “Opening the first gate is the easiest compared to the other gates, and our body also adapts fastest to it, since the burden it places on our body is the minimum of all the eight gates… Of course, even if it is easier, you can not do it overnight… It will take a few mon–…”
Before Guy could finish his words, Kakashi took a deep breath, and shouted… ‘Haaaa!’
And the next thing you know, in Kakashi’s body, the first gate was opened.
Kuroto wasn’t to be left behind and he too easily opened the first gate.
Seeing Kakashi and Kuroto so easily open the Gate of Opening, Guy was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth, all he could do was blob his mouth like a fish and mutter in disbelief, “You… you… you guys… how…”
When his father Might Guy first introduced him to the Eight Inner Gates formation, it took Guy several months of targeted training to be able to open the Gate of Opening, and even then, he wasn’t able to sustain that state for very long and soon collapsed due to exhaustion, and here are Kuroto and Kakashi who without any prior targeted training, or explanation were able to directly open the first Gate.
Obviously, such an experience is going to shock him.
As for Kuroto and Kakashi, neither of the two had enough energy to pay attention to Guy at this moment. Having successfully opened the Gate of Opening, they seem to have been introduced to an all-new world, and their minds were busy processing the changes of this all-new world.
Looking at Kakashi and Kuroto who were immersed in their thoughts, Guy complained, “The two of you are really beyond every limit, it’s no exaggeration to say that you people are true geniuses…”
Hearing such words, Kuroto shook his head, he was pretty clear of what actually happened.
Kakashi was able to open the Gate of Opening, indeed because of his talent, but not purely because of it.
As for Kuroto, he was able to open the Gate of Opening, because he has already broken the first barrier that is placed on his body, it’s just that he didn’t know how to completely breach it up until now, but now that he does, he successfully broke it.
Of course, he didn’t bother to explain this to Guy and chose not to comment on this matter, because being a genius can often be used as an excuse to cover up a lot of things.
After all, Kuroto doesn’t want to explain to Guy that even his normal strength has long since surpassed the level of a Kage, so opening the Gate of Opening is just an understatement for him.
Well, all that aside, after a while, the two brought their attention back to the training field, and Kakashi said, “Guy, the first gate is opened, now let’s move to the second gate… The Gate of Healing.”
Guy looked at Kakashi with a weird expression, and asked, “Hey Kakashi, you don’t happen to want to learn the Eight Inner Gates formation in just one day, right?”
Kakashi asked with a puzzled expression, “Is it possible to learn the technique completely in just one day?”
Kuroto shook his head and said, “Obviously not… This is Eight Inner Gates Formation; how can it be learned in just one day…?”
Guy nodded, “Right…”
But apparently, he nodded a little too early, because Kuroto’s next words made him almost fall, “It should take around a week or so…”
Kakashi added from the side, “Ah… okay, then maybe a week it is.”
Guy was annoyed, “Are you kidding me?” so annoyed that he couldn’t help but say, “Alright fine… do it… I want to see how many Gates can to the two of open today, and in one week!”
In fact, Might Guy wasn’t really jealous of Kakashi or Kuroto, with years of training, Guy’s mind has reached the state where he would never get jealous over such simple things, it’s just that he was genuinely curious. He wanted to see how fast will Kakashi and Kuroto make progress when learning the Eight Inner Gates Formation.
So, without any delay, he immediately explained the details of the second gate, that is, the Gate of Healing.
After a few hours Guy finished the explanation and demonstration; Kuroto successfully opened the Gate of Healing.
Kakashi wasn’t to be left behind, only about an hour later, he too was able to open the Gate of Healing.
With the second gate opened, both Kakashi and Kuroto looked in the direction of Guy, “The third Gate…”
Guy gritted his teeth, and said with a dangerous glint in his eye, “Alright then… I will now explain the details of the third Gate, the Gate of Life…”
