Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 60 The Idea of ​​Reverse Eight Gates

Matt Kai's mission reward was finally paid out.

Since it was a long-term mission, the stingy Hiruzen Sarutobi only paid out 80,000 ryo as a phased mission reward.

He also received a new mission from Hiruzen Sarutobi:

The task of monitoring Gray Glass continues, while Might Guy, as her guardian, must constantly guide her thoughts and actions, and strengthen the Will of Fire...

The reward was increased to 30.

After accepting the mission, Might Guy skipped away.

Because his morning exercise was delayed by Hai Li, he hadn't finished his workout plan this morning, so he started doing frog jumps directly from the Konoha Hokage Building.

Might Guy's idiotic behavior made Hiruzen Sarutobi scratch his face.

I don't know if letting him guide Hui Li is a good thing or a bad thing.

I hope that Gray can truly inherit Guy's Will of Fire, and... only the Will of Fire!

……

"Wherever leaves dance in the air, fire will burn, the fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again. This is our Will of Fire."

First-year elite class.

Standing on the podium, Iruka passionately recounted the Will of Fire.

The first class every morning is a political history class. It tells the history of Konoha Village and instills the values ​​of the Will of Fire in the students; it is the only ideological education class.

"Naruto, you don't need to take notes for this lesson."

"Oh."

Naruto happily tossed the notebook under the desk.

He agreed to Hui Li's request, but when it came to actually doing it, he still couldn't help but feel disgusted by this dry and boring knowledge.

"Grey Glass, when can I become stronger?"

Naruto tilted his head and asked expectantly.

Yesterday, after seeing Hui Li easily defeat Sasuke, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for half the night, thinking about when he could also become stronger and then defeat Sasuke in the practical training session.

"Now you can."

Hui Li took two blue leg wraps out of her bag and handed them to Naruto.

The leg wraps I bought yesterday at Ninja Tool Shop were for Naruto. Each one weighs ten kilograms, and the two together weigh a full forty kilograms.

If someone from my previous life had used something this heavy, they would have been crippled in just a few days.

But ninjas are different.

Chakra, when used in muscles, can both provide energy and provide a certain buffer for the skeletal muscles.

Naruto, a monster with such tenacious vitality, could actually be portrayed as more serious.

Since training has just begun, Hui Li is being relatively conservative, and the weight will be gradually increased once he gets used to it.

"Good weight!"

Naruto took the leg wraps and suddenly dropped his arm.

Caught off guard, he almost strained his wrist from the heavy leg bindings.

"Starting today, you will have to run with these leg wraps on your back every day. Once you get used to them, you can wrap them around your calves and only take them off when you sleep or take a shower."

Later on, you can also tie it to your arm to practice boxing.

Once you've fully adjusted, you can go beat up those three guys who bullied you.

Hairi devised a simple physical training program for Naruto.

Naruto was affected by the Nine-Tails' leaked chakra, making it difficult for him to use ninjutsu, while Guy's Konoha Fist Fluid Technique was perfectly suited to the rampaging chakra of the Eight Gates.

This kind of physical skill that doesn't require much thought is really suitable for him.

This will also serve as a test of Iruka's words; she wants to see just how far Naruto's physical strength can be trained.

"This is...good!"

Naruto hesitated for half a second, then put the leg wraps into his backpack and slung the backpack over his shoulder.

Soon, his shoulders ached from the weight of the backpack, but remembering what Hairi had said, Naruto gritted his teeth and persevered.

He believed that Hui Li would not harm him.

She was even less willing to disappoint Hui Li.

Become stronger.

Become stronger than everyone else.

He wants to defeat the bullying trio to clear his name of the monster label, defeat Sasuke to become Hokage, and then...

Naruto glanced at Gray beside him.

His expression brightened, and he felt a surge of energy coursing through his body. Hui Li had no idea what Naruto was thinking.

Naruto's path can proceed step by step, but her own future remains uncertain.

Close your eyes.

With practiced ease, he pierced through the body, carefully observing its internal condition.

A thin layer of skin and fat covers the body surface.

Below is a high-density periosteum resembling the skin of some kind of scaly animal. On this alien steel skeleton, which is definitely not human, fibrous skeletal muscles twist like steel bars.

Muscles and bones work together to protect the delicate internal organs.

The four clearly defined acupoints in the brain and chest cavity are closed, firmly locking the life force within the body. But whenever Gray Glass needs it, it can be opened in an instant, unleashing boundless power.

She only plans to open four doors for now.

The power of the Eight Gates is indeed extraordinary. Each breakthrough requires a renewed surge of the will to survive, breaking the brain's control over the body to enter a new realm.

Limited by the limits of the Byakugan's pupil power.

The power of 'physical domination' is not yet sufficient for complete control.

She tried several times and found that even under the forced demands of her pupil power, it was difficult for her physical body to enter a true state of limit.

Either you can break through your limits when you're really fighting for your life, or you can only wait until Hui Li's white eye power grows and penetrates to the cellular level before you have a chance.

This is enough for now.

She practiced the Eight Gates only to replenish her chakra when it was insufficient, not to open the Eight Gates and perish together with others.

The problem of insufficient chakra was solved by the Eight Gates, and it also gained a certain degree of self-defense ability.

The purpose has been achieved.

Before her life force runs out, she can now recklessly increase her strength without worrying about hitting a bottleneck.

However, it inspires us with insights into the power of life through the Eight Gates Formation.

Hui Li suddenly had a new idea.

Chakra originates from the life force of ninjas; this is undeniable. When the Divine Tree condensed its chakra fruit, it not only absorbed the planet's natural energy but also devoured a vast amount of human life force.

The Eight Gates Formation is the key to unlocking the vitality of the human body.

What if I do it the other way around?

If you devour the life force of others and infuse it into your body's cells by reversing the flow of the Eight Gates, do you then possess infinite life force and chakra?

Gray Glass makes a bold assumption.

The idea just felt strangely familiar.

When the thought of devouring life force came to her mind, Hui Li suddenly felt that she had seen what she was imagining somewhere before.

Yes……

Intercolumnar cells!!!

As if a bolt of lightning had flashed by, Hui Li suddenly remembered another powerful cheat code in the ninja world.

The effects of Hashirama cells: healing and emergency care, balancing the Sharingan, restoring the Mangekyou Sharingan's power, using Wood Release, and enhancing physical constitution. The vibrant Hashirama cells are practically omnipotent.

Rumor has it that Hashirama cells possess an infinite vitality, similar to cancer cells, and can continuously devour normal cells and multiply indefinitely.

This ability is very similar to the reverse eight gates envisioned by Hui Li.

No wonder Hashirama Senju was so powerful.

His Wood Release technique may not only absorb chakra, but also life force.

When Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha quelled the war, he absorbed the life force of countless ninjas, and with Ashura's Sage Body, even his cells underwent a terrifying mutation.

Even after being dead for so many years, the cells are still alive.

Even after someone else has the transplanted face, it will grow a face resembling Hashirama Senju on their body, seemingly trying to revive its owner.

The more Hui Li thought about it, the more she realized it made sense.

Hashirama Senju's vigorous life force was clearly abnormal. Naruto has the Sage Body of the Uzumaki clan and is also the reincarnation of Ashura, so why don't his cells have the same abnormal abilities as Hashirama Senju?

If her guess is correct.

So, if she cultivates the Reverse Eight Gates and devours the life force of others, is it possible for her to cultivate a Celestial Body later in life without needing to transplant Hashirama's cells?

Thinking of the power of the immortal body, Hui Li felt a surge of excitement.

When she arrived in Konoha, she could see the large forest at the entrance of the village.

That was created by Hashirama Senju with a single ninjutsu. Even Haili couldn't imagine how much chakra it would take to create a forest of that size.

Without external life force replenishment, she doesn't know if she can reach that level even with all eight gates open.

If the Reverse Eight Gates technique is successfully developed, it should be her most important pillar-level secret technique in the future.
