In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

amount……

"You finally stopped?" Matt Kai let out a long sigh, as if he had finally ended a painful training session.

“That’s right.” Tianyu nodded seriously. “Teacher Kai, didn’t you say that this test was about holding out for 10 minutes in your hands? The time is up now.”

"puff--"

Matt Kai almost coughed up blood.

Their fight just now was so intense that it was impossible for them to stop.

Who remembers something that happened ten minutes ago?!

Tianyu, you're way too calm!

"Cough cough..."

Matt Kai made a fist and placed it in front of his mouth, coughing lightly twice to cover his embarrassment, then nodded slightly in agreement.

"That's right, the 10-minute assessment time is over."

"Tianyu, you've made rapid progress lately, forcing me to use the Eight Gates Formation for defense!"

As Matt Kai said this, he couldn't help but blush.

He would never admit that Tianyu not only forced out his Eight Gates Formation, but almost opened more than four gates!

"In short... you've passed today's assessment successfully!"

"I've already prepared the generous reward you promised!"

Chapter 27 Eight Gates Formation

"Teacher Kai, what is the reward?" Tianyu asked curiously.

Matt Kai wore a mysterious smile, not directly answering his question, but instead asking,

"You should have already seen the power of my Eight Gates Formation, right?"

"Mm." Tianyu nodded.

"The Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden ninjutsu technique that I practice."

You've seen this ninjutsu; it's incredibly powerful and can significantly enhance one's strength.

"If I were to open all eight gates right now, I could even fight the Hokage," Might Guy said very seriously.

"but,

The acquisition of any power comes at a price.

The reason this ninjutsu is listed as a forbidden technique is because it has extremely terrible side effects.

Even though my physical strength is already extremely high, if I were to open the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, I would definitely die.

Now you know what forbidden arts represent, right?

"Ah."

Tianyu nodded without hesitation.

Might Guy, unusually serious, stared at Tenyu and asked again, "The use of forbidden techniques always carries risks. Even so, are you still willing to learn them?"

“I’m willing to take the risk,” Tianyu replied calmly.

Might Guy stared at Tianyu with a serious expression.

then……

"Waaaaah! This is wonderful! Finally, someone is willing to learn my unique secret technique!!! Tianyu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!!"

Matt Ke was immediately moved to tears.

Tears streamed down her face like a small river.

Tianyu: "..."

If someone is willing to teach me the Eight Gates, I'd be overjoyed, so why would I refuse?

Teacher Kai, you can't be that excited, can you?

He seemed to understand the confusion in Tianyu's eyes.

Matt Kai sighed deeply and remarked,

"I've met many ninjas who are skilled in taijutsu before, and they were willing to train in taijutsu with me."

But when they heard that my forbidden technique could potentially lead to death...

They all retreated; not one of them was willing to follow me in my practice.

Tianyu understands this situation very well.

Their current generation of children grew up during Konoha's peaceful period and have never experienced war, so they don't know the cruelty of war.

Therefore, they have no idea about the importance of strength.

I don't know the true meaning of the Eight Gates Formation.

No wonder in the original work, there was only a stubborn, single-minded fool like Li.

Only then did he follow Might Guy to train in the Eight Gates and transform into a hardworking genius.

"Tianyu, aren't you afraid of death?" Might Guy asked.

"I'm afraid," Tianyu nodded, speaking truthfully.

"Then you still dare to follow me and learn the Eight Gates?" Might Guy asked in surprise.

Tenyu paused for a moment, then said, "Because I think that your ninjutsu, Teacher Kai, is only a half-finished product right now."

"A semi-finished product?" Matt Kai was even more surprised.

Tianyu nodded and said:

"Yes,

I believe that the Eight Gates Formation is also a forbidden technique created by other ninjas.

Since it was created, not born,

This means that... it can be improved, or even changed!

Therefore, I believe that the physical damage caused by the Eight Gates could definitely be avoided! In fact, it could even be said that the death that would result from opening all eight gates could be prevented!

Matt Kai paused for a moment,

He then burst into laughter, his body trembling slightly.

Tears even welled up in his eyes.

He looked very excited.

Hahaha, I really didn't expect that!

After all these years, I've finally found someone who shares my thoughts!

"Tianyu, if you were around my age, I would really like to treat you as a brother!"

Tianyu was speechless.

No, no, it can't be that bad...

After calming down,

At this moment, Matt Kai's expression turned serious again, and he said with a solemn face,

"That's right, I've had that thought before."

Perhaps once the body reaches a certain level of strength, even opening the Eight Gates can minimize the damage to the body.

Its side effects are related to physical strength; the stronger the body, the fewer the side effects. Starting from the fourth gate, the side effects of each subsequent gate become significant.

That's why I had you put on sandbags and do weight training from the beginning.

Physical strength is key to martial arts skills.

Tianyu nodded in strong agreement.

Okay, now I'll start telling you.

The training process for the forbidden technique, the Eight Gates!

……

a few hours later

Matt Kay sat cross-legged on the ground.

He held up one finger, still explaining to Tianyu.

"You have now almost met the prerequisites for mastering the Eight Gates Formation."

During this time, you can try to feel the threshold of the first gate of the Eight Inner Gates – the Opening Gate. If you feel any discomfort, stop immediately and don't force yourself.

Tianyu nodded.

At the same time, he kept asking questions about many details of the Eight Gates Formation.

Might Guy was surprised by the crucial questions Tianyu had raised, some of which he hadn't even noticed before, causing him to fall into deep thought.

……

After learning the Eight Gates Formation, it was already quite late.

Tianyu then realized that his stomach was completely empty.

The Konoha training ground is quite a distance from home, so I'll just have dinner out tonight.

Then, Tenyu went to Ichiraku Ramen, a famous ramen shop in Konoha.

"Uncle, a bowl of noodles, please!"

"Oh, it's Tianyu. You're ordering chashu pork tonkotsu ramen as usual this time, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Ichiraku!"
