Chapter 40: Chapter 40
[Power Stones Achievements Got Reset! +200=1 Chapter]
"The Eight Inner Gates..."
Inside the small cabin in the woods, Might Duy sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by Kyomu and others, who were listening attentively.
"According to my speculation, there are pathways in everyone's body that restrict chakra. This is beneficial for individuals.
Because chakra is a volatile power, otherwise, it wouldn't give rise to many powerful ninjutsu techniques.
But it also has its drawbacks. The only drawback, which is also shared with the benefits, is that the chakra bound by these pathways becomes docile within the body, losing its original violent power.
As we all know, chakra has the ability to activate body cells, allowing us to gain stronger strength, faster speed, and more powerful bursts during the activation of body cells.
However, when chakra is bound by these pathways, it becomes docile and loses its original power, preventing us from maximizing its use during the activation of body cells.
And the Eight Inner Gates Technique that I developed is a way to open these pathways that bind chakra, allowing the chakra's original power to be fully transferred to oneself, thereby achieving the goal of completely unlocking the body's potential."
Having said this, Might Duy paused, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light.
Who would have thought that a low-ranking ninja who had wasted more than twenty years would one day become a mentor? And the students listening to his lecture were representatives of the new generation of Konoha.
Excitement, the taste of hard-won success, and other emotions surged in their hearts.
There was a hint of moisture in the corner of their eyes.
Finally, his perseverance was recognized by others!
This is the entirety of his youth!
Even if it is learned by someone other than his son, it's still worth it. After all, everyone must realize their own value in life, and passing on his youthful ideals is the only way for Might Duy to realize his own value in life.
After all, over the past twenty years, he had received too much ridicule and disdain, but now, his perseverance had finally paid off, making him eagerly sought after by others.
Wiping the corner of his eyes, Might Duy blinked and smiled, "This is the crystallization of my youth. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them."
"I dare not." Rin , unusually, was the first to speak, "Uncle Duy, I cannot give a definition to the Eight Inner Gates Technique based on my limited knowledge of ninjutsu, but I still have some concerns."
After careful consideration of her words, Rin slowly expressed her concerns, "Uncle Duy, have you ever considered how the human body, as well as the chakra channels that run chakra, could withstand the release of its original volatile properties after releasing the pathways that bind chakra?"
"I have considered this." Might Duy grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, "The human body is fragile but also has limitless potential. We can make our bodies stronger through relentless training day and night.
So, I have developed herbal medicine, urging myself to train my body day after day, just waiting for the day when it will blossom in the future!"
"Uncle Duy, how long do you expect to practice before reaching the level you envision?" Kakashi asked next.
"I'm not sure." Might Duy shook his head, "My talent is average, and for now, I can only open six gates."
Turning to look at Guy, he continued, "But my son, Guy, is more talented than me. He will definitely inherit my youth and perfectly unleash it!"
Talking to Might Duy was like this. You could say he was eccentric, or that his words were unclear, but he was just such a person.
You need patience.
Kyomu also knew that it was time for him to step in. If Might Duy continued to express himself ambiguously with the word 'youth', probably no one in the room except himself and Guy would be able to grasp it.
"Uncle Duy, what kind of power can you unleash after opening the sixth gate?" Kyomu got straight to the point.
"With my strength, after opening the sixth gate, I can fight against special jounin. In other words, the power that can be unleashed after the Eight Inner Gates Technique is activated depends on the original strength of the user."
"Does it decrease?" Kyomu asked a crucial question.
"No!" Might Duy answered firmly, "If you are a chunin, after opening the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates Technique, under the premise of not considering other factors and only using taijutsu to fight, you can contend with a jounin!"
Kyomu glanced at Kakashi, and Kakashi looked at Obito and Rin, and the four of them nodded in unison.
The Eight Inner Gates Technique is like a power booster, and it increases the strength by a very fixed multiple.
If you don't consider the side effects and the difficulty of practicing this technique, the Eight Inner Gates Technique is indeed a very rare ace in the hole.
But there are also those who are sober-minded, like Obito.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Duy, the Eight Inner Gates Technique is very powerful, but it's not suitable for me." Obito shook his head regretfully, "I can't spend most of my day practicing to push my body to its limits."
Obito was not wrong. With his Uchiha bloodline, taijutsu was only supplementary, and this was also true in the later stages of ninjutsu. Only the Sharingan and dojutsu were their essence.
Although the effects of the Eight Inner Gates Technique were very tempting, the input and output were simply not proportional in the short to medium term, which did not fit Obito's future growth path.
Kyomu didn't try to persuade him, but instead turned his gaze to Kakashi.
"I can try to learn, but I can't specialize in it." Kakashi also shook his head, "In my family's Hatake Sword Technique, there are techniques that use Lightning Release to activate body cells. Although its upper limit may not be as high as the Eight Inner Gates Technique, the growth curve is smoother."
Kakashi's considerations were also rational and clear. He could use the Eight Inner Gates Technique as a supplementary practice, but it wasn't his entire focus.
As for Rin... Kyomu automatically ignored her.
She never put much effort into combat. Her goal from beginning to end was to become a medical ninja who saved lives. Combat was just her side job.
So after all the twists and turns, learning the Eight Inner Gates Technique became his own goal.
"Everyone knows my talent. Since you all won't learn it, or only as a secondary focus, then I'll take the lead."
Kyomu smiled and, as he stood up, his expression became serious, "Uncle Duy, I'll rely on you for the next period of time!"
Standing up straight, he turned to the side to face Might Guy, "And Guy, I'm going to be your direct competitor now."
"Kyomu, are you really..."
"Of course."
"That's great!" Might Guy stood up all of a sudden, "I've always hoped to have a companion on my journey of youth, and now... it's came true!"
Kakashi and Obito watched Might Guy, who was overflowing with excitement, shaking their heads while smiling.
"Kyomu, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Kakashi interjected, "Are you giving up on your swordsmanship? Remember, practice drawing your sword ten thousand times a day!"
"Then you may never learn my 'Heavenly Slash Swordsmanship' in your lifetime." Kakashi arrogantly shook his head, "My Hatake Swordsmanship is not bad. Advanced techniques can achieve similar effects."
"Using Lightning Release chakra and White Fang?"
"Something like that." Kakashi nodded, "Ninjutsu is still the main aspect for a ninja, and my Hatake Swordsmanship is also considered a Lightning Release ninjutsu, just with swordsmanship as its carrier."
"Ninjutsu Swordsmanship?!" Obito teased, nudging Kakashi with his shoulder, "Or is it a Perverse Jutsu?"
"Get out of here!"
"Hahaha..."
Laughter filled the air, marking a small pause in the initial journey of learning the Eight Inner Gates Technique.
Politely bidding farewell to Might Guy, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin left, leaving Kyomu standing there alone.
"Uncle Duy, let's start our lesson." Kyomu smiled, tilting his head, "I can't wait any longer!"
"Alright, let me first tell you the method of opening the first gate of the Eight Inner Gates Technique."
Might Duyonce again entered teaching mode, patting his son's shoulder to indicate that he should listen attentively.
In this time period, the Eight Inner Gates Technique, which should have been mastered only by Might Guy, now had Kyomu as well, and Might Guy's learning of the Eight Inner Gates Technique was advanced by three years because of Kyomu.
However, all of this was within Kyomu's expectations.
HIs foundation was slowly becoming solid!
