Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"I'm in so much pain!!"

"Kai! You idiot son, be gentle!"

Might Guy screamed in agony; the price of opening the Eight Gates had left his body in a mangled state.

The violent chakra shattered his meridians.

Its speed and power, surpassing that of any ninja, tore his bones and muscles apart.

The air distorted by the daytime tiger twisted its head, tearing the grass-covered man apart and almost stripping half of his skin off.

At this point, Might Guy had lost half of his skin, broken more than a hundred bones, and almost all of his skeletal muscles had ruptured and dissolved, making him look like a broken doll.

However, the nervous system remains in a state of hyperactivity, amplifying all sensory signals, especially pain signals, which flood the brain.

At this moment, even the slightest touch felt like torture to Matt Dai, causing excruciating pain.

"Dad, please stop yelling. I was being very careful; I didn't use any force at all!"

Might Guy felt incredibly wronged. He had only taken the bag from Suigetsu Hozuki out of concern for his father and was carrying it carefully on his back.

"Hehe, this is a side effect of activating the Eight Gates, but since Dad's in so much pain, what's wrong with scolding you a bit?"

"I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and cleaning up after you until you were six, and I still had to deal with the consequences of your bedwetting. And I can't even scold you?"

Matt Kai remained silent, indicating that he was already dead and that no one should talk to him anymore.

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu stared blankly ahead, as if they hadn't heard anything.

If it weren't for their synchronized walking posture, Matt Kay might have believed it.

Orochimaru shook his head: "Might Guy is ruined. He can no longer unleash his current fighting power."

Shan Zhongchu Jiu said, "Whether Senior Might Dai can fight or not is not important. As long as he can live, speak, and train students, that's enough."

Orochimaru hummed in agreement, then asked, full of doubt, "Why do you say that?"

Yamanaka Chukyu said, "Actually, Orochimaru-sensei, you've also noticed that Might Guy's taijutsu talent isn't strong; it's much weaker than his son, Might Guy."

Orochimaru nodded: "You're right, that's why I'm wondering."

Yamanaka Hatsukyu said, "Even if Might Guy is dead, his son has inherited his mantle and is an even stronger Eight Gates ninja, who can also spread the Eight Gates in Konoha."

Yamanaka Chuku laughed dismissively: "That's why I say, geniuses like Orochimaru-sensei are just so speechless."

"Matt Kai is very strong, there's no doubt about that. He will definitely be a hundred times stronger than Senior Dai in the future."

"Because Might Guy is a true physical prodigy, the kind of genius who can train without getting injured or dying no matter how much he trains."

"If an ordinary ninja throws a punch 1 times, the muscles in his arm will tear, and without more than ten days of treatment, he won't even be able to pick up chopsticks."

"But for Might Guy, throwing 1 punches is just a warm-up."

"He can run ten more laps around Konoha Village, do five more frog jumps, 5000 push-ups, and 10,000 weighted squats before he can begin formal training in the Eight Gates."

Orochimaru: "..."

"Is this even human?"

Yamanaka Hatsuyu continued expressionlessly, "Orochimaru-sensei, you thought that was all?"

"No, no, no, Might Guy's talent is not limited to this; his talent in physical combat is even greater."

"No matter how difficult the move or how challenging the action, Might Guy can learn it immediately after just one glance. He can master it completely after ten repetitions, integrate it into his body memory after a hundred repetitions, and innovate upon it after a thousand repetitions, surpassing the original limits of the move."

Orochimaru frowned deeply: "He really is a monster..."

Yamanaka Chujiu continued, "The problem is, if you ask Matt Kai how he could achieve what he has."

He'll just stare at you blankly and ask, "Isn't it just a matter of practicing a hundred times?"

"Orochimaru-sensei, you are an absolutely all-around genius. Not only can you quickly learn and master ninjutsu, but you can also analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your students, design teaching plans according to their aptitude, and provide precise guidance and assistance."

"But Matt Kay is no good. He's a genius in practice, but a complete waste of theory."

"Letting him teach students will only ruin them. Unless they encounter a genius like him, they will never be able to grow."

"Might Guy is different. His talent is very ordinary. In exploring the Eight Gates, he encountered almost every pitfall, but in the end, he climbed up with his amazing willpower."

"He is the best professor of the Eight Gates Formation. Anyone with even a little bit of talent can be developed to their limit by him."

Orochimaru finally understood: "In other words, only if Might Guy is alive can the Eight Gates of Konoha be better passed down."

"Yes, my medicine wasn't wasted."

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru asked again, "Was what you said just now true?"

Shan Zhongchujiu countered with, "Destroy a country?"

"Yes."

"Orochimaru-sensei, I'm not joking."

"Do you really want to destroy the Water Kingdom?"

"real."

Orochimaru gasped. He had always thought of himself as a madman, but he never expected his student to be even crazier than him.

"That's a country, a great country!"

"Hehehe, so what!"

Orochimaru remained speechless for a long time before calming his anger and patiently asking:

Why did you do that?

Yamanaka Hatsukyu replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to achieve peace in the ninja world."

Orochimaru: "..."

Yamanaka Chuku put away his smile and said seriously, "Orochimaru-sensei, I went to the battlefield at the age of 12, and so did Nawaki-senpai. I was lucky to survive, but Nawaki-senpai was very unfortunate."

"The current Konoha Village is even worse. Uchiha Shisui went to the battlefield at the age of 9, Hatake Kakashi at the age of 7, and Uchiha Itachi was the most outrageous. He developed a mental illness on the battlefield at the age of 4 and had serious self-destructive and suicidal tendencies."

"So I knew long ago that the ninja world shouldn't be like this. I also knew how prosperous the ninja world could become. And what stands between war and prosperity are the five great nations of today."

"The First Hokage and Madara Uchiha joined forces to eliminate countless ninja clans, establish Konoha Village, and achieve peace within the Land of Fire."

"This shows that the foundation for peace can only be laid through war."

"If we want peace in the ninja world, we must eliminate all the nations in the ninja world and merge them into one enormous new nation, just as we did in the Land of Fire by eliminating the ninja clans."

Orochimaru couldn't refute it, because Yamanaka Hatsukyu's reasoning was sound, and there was the precedent of the First Hokage unifying the Land of Fire.

He could only say, "Chu Jiu, the Great Nation and the Ninja Clan are two different things. Even the First Hokage didn't dare to attack the Great Nation, so even if you do something..."

Yamanaka Chuuku raised his hand to interrupt Orochimaru, saying decisively, "Orochimaru-sensei, you and the First Hokage have the same misconceptions about the country."

"The Land of Water is a great nation with a population of 80 million, but to destroy it, I don't need to kill all 80 million people. It will be enough to eliminate a few hundred nobles and the tens of thousands of vassals who support them."
