Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

However, only Might Guy was able to connect and integrate the eight gates into his unique Eight Gates Formation.

He is a true, down-to-earth "hard-working genius" in this world. With his unwavering perseverance and persistent pursuit of martial arts, he created this unparalleled taijutsu that shocked the ninja world.

Professor Might Day's philosophy of self-discipline in teaching his son Might Guy directly reveals the true essence of the Eight Gates Formation.

Normally, one restricts and trains oneself with the strictest constraints, just like keeping a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, constantly sharpening and forging it.

When there is a real need to break free from shackles, one can unleash power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, elevating one's life like a brilliant shooting star streaking across the night sky, leaving behind astonishing brilliance.

This has a similar feel to Kurapika's Oath and Restraint in the Hunter x Hunter world.

However, the stricter the rules set by Xiao Ku, the greater their power will be. Once violated, Xiao Ku will suffer severe backlash or even destruction.

To be more specific, one of the core principles of the Eight Gates Formation is self-discipline, which has a somewhat vague and idealistic connotation. It emphasizes inner self-discipline and self-control.

If Might Guy had Byakugan, things might be very different.

With the Byakugan's powerful insight, he might be able to develop the Eight Gates Formation earlier, or even explore more of the mysteries of the human body, paving the way for chakra martial arts.

After all, martial arts, whether high-level or low-level, ultimately aim to control the physical body as much as possible, explore the mysteries of the human body, tap into more potential, and develop the wonders of the body's spiritual treasures and acupoints.

It's like digging for an endless treasure; every exploration can bring unexpected rewards.

If Hiruko hadn't already transcended the limitations of ordinary humans, he might have continued his in-depth research into the Eight Gates.

Because his body has almost no acupoints as long as he wants, there are no so-called restrictions or shackles created by the human body for self-protection.

Without shackles, there's no way to unleash the power hidden within his body all at once, which is perhaps a unique kind of regret for him.

Therefore, the Eight Gates Formation, with its core concept of self-discipline, is like a mysterious and profound martial arts manual, but for the time being, it is of little use to Hiruko.

His current physical condition is like a sharp blade wrapped in a special material. Although it has a unique power, it is difficult to match the Eight Gates Formation, which requires strict self-control and breaking through the limits of the body.

Chapter 244

"Given your physical limitations, I would suggest that you first practice wind-style chakra, which possesses the sharpness to cut through anything."

Hiruko narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Hanabi seriously, saying, "Wind Release chakra is like an invisible blade. If used properly, it can be invincible."

At least the wind-style chakra gathered at the edges of the body is like a thin, sharp blade covering the body, and generally does not cause much harm to the ninja.

If you can master the Wind Release chakra mode, then every punch and kick you deliver will be a terrifying blade. Its sharpness will be more in line with the essence of 'sword energy,' seemingly capable of tearing the air itself apart.

If Hanabi were to wield the power described by Hiruko, the resulting battles would undoubtedly be incredibly bloody.

Imagine a fierce battle where the enemy is often missing limbs or even dismembered into a pile of mutilated corpses; that scene would surely be chilling.

Those who practice Nandou Waterbird Boxing all pay attention to body movement and positioning.

When they throw punches, it's like waterbirds catching fish from high above. Their movements seem leisurely, light, and elegant, but in reality, they are swift and ruthless. Every strike carries a deadly threat, leaving the enemy with no way to avoid it.

Moreover, compared to being killed by the Hokuto Shinken acupoint strike and exploding, a method of death that is shocking yet tinged with mystery, the Nanto Seiken is more direct. It destroys the enemy's body head-on in the most bloody and cruel way, completely shattering the enemy's defenses.

It combines the agile and ever-changing movements of Baguazhang, the all-seeing keen insight of the White Eye, and the terrifying combat tactics that can dismember the enemy at any time.

If Hanabi learns Sage Mode in the future and draws on the power of nature, she will naturally be able to achieve effects similar to the Nanto Suicho Ken, becoming a fearsome presence on the battlefield.

At this point, Hiruko suddenly thought of the deceased Sarutobi Asuma, and a pang of regret welled up in his heart.

That unlucky bearded man, although he was a rebellious second-generation official in his early adolescence and acted somewhat unruly, was actually a very good person, generous and righteous.

Moreover, his ability to develop even the most basic Wind Release chakra patterns is enough to prove that he has a unique talent in chakra control.

Although he didn't develop his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the same extent as the Raikage of Kumogakure, his talent was still considered above average among ordinary people.

Unfortunately, he relied more on chakra blades to conduct and unleash the sharpness of wind-style chakra, like hiding a sharp blade in a box, failing to fully demonstrate the true power of wind-style chakra.

Furthermore, he lacks the special physique and Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and cannot possess the same unique advantages as Hanabi. His clan also inherits Fire Release ninjutsu, which is not compatible with Wind Release.

Otherwise, Asuma, this bearded uncle, might have become a low-budget Goenitz, the ninja world version of Breath of the Storm, leaving his own legend in the ninja world.

However, the young woman in red is really great!

"I understand, Brother Sheren, I will try my best!" Hanabi said with a determined look in her eyes and a clenched fist, her small fist seemingly containing endless power.

"Yes, I've taught you the basics. Now it's up to you to cultivate carefully and diligently on your own."

Hiruko stared at Hanabi with a hint of emotion, his eyes revealing a trace of worry and expectation, "You must be careful and cautious when you train in my absence. We must not repeat Neji's mistakes."

He met with misfortune because of a moment of carelessness.

Try to visit Dr. Haruno Sakura more often. She's a highly skilled doctor with in-depth knowledge of the human body. Learning more about the human body will benefit you and might even be of help in a crucial moment.

"Brother Sheren, are you... leaving?" Hanabi suddenly gripped Hiruko's hand, as if he would disappear if she let go. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of unease, as if she was about to lose her most precious treasure.

"It's just a few days away." Hiruko gently patted Hanabi's head, a reassuring smile on his lips, trying to put her at ease.

"Really?" Hanabi stared intently at Hiruko with her bright, sparkling eyes, her gaze filled with both anticipation and doubt.

"Yes, of course. When has your brother ever lied to you?" Hiruko never hesitated to lie, his face still bearing that sincere smile.

After coaxing the little girl, Hiruko smiled and took out a moon-exclusive summoning contract scroll. "Hanabi, you don't have a summoning beast yet, do you? Come and sign a blood pact. Consider it a parting gift."

He unfurled the scroll, which contained only a golden full moon and a silver crescent moon pattern, shimmering with a mysterious light under the moonlight. The rest of the scroll was blank, with no trace of any spirit mediums from past generations. This was undoubtedly a brand-new scroll specially made for fireworks.

Changing the subject to seek advantage and avoid harm is a trick that bad men are born with, and Hiruko is using it very skillfully at this moment.

"A summoned beast?"

Hanabi's brows, which had been slightly furrowed at the thought of Hiruko's possible departure, instantly relaxed, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement. She was quickly drawn to this novel topic.

“Yes, that’s right.” Hiruko nodded slightly, a gentle yet mysterious smile on his face, and patiently explained, “Hanabi, this is a spirit scroll that I specially made for you. It’s not ordinary; it can connect to the mysterious sacred land on the moon.”

There, countless powerful summoned beasts are hidden.

In the future, you might even be able to travel to the moon with me through reverse psychic techniques to study immortal arts, and in that mysterious place, draw upon the wondrous power of the universe.

Even in battle, if faced with an insurmountable disaster, they can use this to escape the dangers of the earth and find a peaceful haven.

Hiruko secretly pondered to himself that Hanabi was a promising prospect he valued, a rising star with unlimited potential in the ninja world, and he naturally wanted to keep some backup plans to cultivate her.

The situation in the ninja world is currently turbulent and unpredictable. We cannot allow Hanabi to be caught in the crossfire of the war initiated by Sasuke and die. We must prepare some commonly used escape methods in advance.

He couldn't help but recall Sasuke's actions when he was in danger. Sasuke jumped directly into the snake's belly, and then with a "bang," he and the snake returned to Ryuchi Cave. That was truly amazing, turning the tide in a desperate situation in an instant.

Therefore, in case of danger, as long as a contract is signed, Hanabi can go directly to the moon for refuge, which undoubtedly provides an extra layer of protection.

Hanabi has always trusted Shiren without reservation; she believes he would never harm her.

Without hesitation, she bit her finger, and bright red blood seeped from her fingertip. She used the blood to neatly fill in her name on the contract, her eyes filled with determination and expectation.

"Are all the summoned beasts from Mount Myōboku from the same species? Which ones specifically?" Hanabi asked eagerly after signing the scroll, her curiosity overflowing like a burst dam.

"No, the moon has a wide variety of summoned creatures, far surpassing those of Mount Myōboku."

Hiruko carefully put the scroll away and said with a smile, "There are loyal and brave dogs with a keen sense of smell who can scout out enemy positions for you in battle."

There are mysterious toads who possess all sorts of amazing ninjutsu.

There are also agile and cunning snakes that can deliver a fatal blow to their enemies from the shadows.

The soft yet resilient slug can heal your injuries.

Crabs are domineering creatures with hard shells and sharp pincers.

An eagle soaring through the sky can take you on a journey to see the earth below…

Hiruko paused, a sly glint in his eyes, "They are even giant rock formations made of inorganic matter. They are incredibly strong and indestructible. There are many, many kinds of them. You can explore them slowly in the future."

There is no summoning beast in the entire ninja world that I, the ultimate creature Hiruko, cannot transform into!

In fact, Hanabi's contract with the sacred land of the moon was less a contract with the mysterious and powerful creature Hiruko and more a contract with the spirit world.

Just like the sacred Shikkotsu Forest, which appears bustling on the surface, there is actually only one giant slug. What Tsunade usually summons are just split versions of the slug.

Therefore, most of the summoned beasts that Hanabi can summon in the future will only be some flesh and blood fragments of Hiruko on the moon. Whatever kind Hanabi wants, Hiruko can use her magical abilities to conjure it for her.

The reason it is said to be the majority is that Hiruko actually conducted a considerable amount of biological modification research on the moon.

He modified the Earth creatures collected by the Otsutsuki clan using the Oni-Garuru technique, attempting to create Pokémon-like creatures using the moon as a testing ground.

Furthermore, he infused these creatures with his own flesh and blood and imprinted them with unique curse marks, so theoretically, these creatures can also be summoned by Hanabi, as long as they are willing to respond to Hanabi's summons.

The giant rock statue that Hiruko mentioned is naturally the Hamura statue that can be driven by the Tenseigan. Once Hanabi awakens the Tenseigan, she can naturally perform a summoning ritual and make this powerful statue work for her.

Although Hiruko had already begun preparations to return to his own world, he was very cautious and would not remove all of his physical body from this world.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that he would leave behind his physical form in every world he visited.

In any case, his flesh and blood have no separate bodies or original forms; they are all his own person. He can divide into countless forms or reunite them into one, and he can gather and disperse at will.

As long as there is enough energy, flesh and blood derivatives can grow into the complete form of an individual and can continuously become stronger.

In this way, no matter which world he dies unexpectedly in the future, he won't completely collapse and die. This is what it means to not put all your eggs in one basket.

Furthermore, he will leave some of his knowledge on the moon to continue observing and reaping the benefits of this world, and to provide some protection for the ninja world.

The reason why the Otsutsuki group from outer space came to the ninja world seems to be because the curvature of the space on this planet has changed, and this anomaly has attracted their attention.

Hiruko is probably a consequence of the battle between Toneri Otsutsuki and Naruto in the movie, otherwise she wouldn't have been gone for a thousand years, and then Boruto and the others were drawn here to investigate.

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder you're Toneri-nii!" Hanabi looked at Hiruko with admiration, her eyes sparkling like stars.

With the psychic contract in place, Hanabi felt much more at ease.

Because Toneri is a lunar person, even if he leaves, he will eventually return to the moon. As long as Hyuga Hanabi grows up quickly and has enough chakra, she can use the summoning jutsu to summon back to the moon at any time. She will not let Toneri leave her behind!

Konoha Hospital, Dr. Haruno Sakura's usually tidy and orderly private office was now a complete mess.

The wall was pitted and uneven, as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

The ground was a mess, with documents and papers scattered all over the place.

The bed frame collapsed, creating a large crater, as if it could no longer bear the weight.

The desk was covered with strange human-shaped dents and shocking scratches and palm prints, as if a fierce and unusual "battle" had just taken place here.

Sakura Haruno's face was rosy, her cherry lips glistened with moisture, her pure white clothes were slightly disheveled, revealing glimpses of spring, her eyes held a hint of alluring charm, her cherry pink hair was also scattered, with a few strands even sticking to her cheeks, and her whole body seemed to be seeping with water.

Her black stockings were torn and ripped, her pink panties were faintly visible, and one of her black high heels was hanging precariously on her toes, which were sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed, while the other had already fallen to the side of the bed.

Sakura Haruno, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, completely removed her battle-damaged female doctor's outfit, including her underwear and stockings. Then, she formed hand seals, condensed water-style chakra into a thin stream, and gently washed her body.

Then, she took out brand-new underwear from the cabinet next to her, slowly put it back on, then put on the pink cheongsam, and finally put on red high heels barefoot.

She said in a languid and alluring voice that was unusual for her, "As expected, it was Hiruko-senpai at the hospital that day."
