Naruto: Start by Unlocking the Power of Death

This made Kai, who had always wanted to promote the Steel Fist style, feel a little lonely!

Of course, he would not give up. He firmly believed that even if he did not know ninjutsu or illusion techniques, the Steel Fist Style was still a way to become stronger!

Ye Yi smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as people realize the power of Taijutsu, there will be people willing to learn Taijutsu like you. I have never doubted this. As long as it can make people stronger, there will be people who will learn any method!"

Kai showed his white teeth and gave a thumbs up: "Yoichi, you are indeed different from the other Hyuga clan members. You are a genius like Kakashi! Kakashi also told me something similar!"

Yoruichi was surprised: "That arrogant guy Kakashi can actually say something so reasonable?"

Kai nodded and said solemnly: "After all, he is the opponent I recognize!"

"You two have a really good relationship..."

Kai showed his signature smile again: "He and I are eternal rivals!"

Ye Yiyi smiled and said, "Let's go, while it's not too late, go early and come back early."

Kai responded, "Okay."

Chapter 40 Discussion with Kai

The two of them traveled together to the Forest of Death.

The Death Forest is rich in supplies, including many medicinal herbs, which are the materials for some recovery medicines. The production of Bingliang Pills also requires some of these herbs.

Therefore, the initial mission of many Genin is to go to the Death Forest to find these herbs, which are basically D-level missions.

Some of the more difficult to find herbs will reach C-level, which is considered a relatively easy task to complete.

Not only is there not much danger, but the reward is also not low, which makes it a mission that many Genin likes!

It’s better than looking for pets or picking up trash…

Relying on her Byakugan, Yoruichi was able to find herbs faster than other ninjas, but the herbs on the periphery had almost all been found by the Genin in the village. If she wanted more, she could only dive deeper.

The Death Forest is not that dangerous, but if you go deep into it, there are still some ferocious beasts, snakes, insects, rats, ants and other poisonous creatures, which are also a considerable threat to the Genin.

Going deep into the Death Forest, Yoruichi and Kai searched around and found quite a few medicinal herbs. This was not Yoruichi's original purpose, he simply collected some herbs and returned with Kai.

However, Ye Yi made a discovery. Not far from his underground laboratory, he discovered through his Byakugan that there were many poisonous snakes lurking nearby...

"What's going on? There weren't so many poisonous snakes last time I came here... Could it be..." After seeing this scene, many thoughts flashed through Ye Yi's mind, and he narrowed his eyes and guessed.

However, because of Kai, Ye Yi did not go near there, but just wrote down this discovery...

After returning to the village, Yoruichi gave some herbs to Kai and the two came to an open space.

Kai mentioned to Ye Yi before that if one wanted to comprehend the subtleties of the Steel Fist Style, the best way was to spar with others!

This is also the reason why Kai has always wanted to fight Kakashi. Only by competing with a strong person can he improve faster.

Ye Yi naturally would not object, and the two of them stood in an open space, facing each other.

Kai looked at Yoruichi seriously: "Yuruchi, you better be careful! Facing a genius like you, I won't hold back!"

"Come on, as a member of the Hyuga clan, I will not lose to anyone!" Yoruichi opened his Byakugan and looked at Kai with a relaxed expression.

Kai's face showed excitement, this was the first time he had sparred with Ye Qie, although they were classmates and had a good relationship before, they had never competed against each other!

Taking this opportunity, Kai also wanted to experience the power of soft fist, which would be helpful to him.

"Then you better be careful!" Kai said, and the next moment, with a 'swoosh', his figure disappeared from the spot and he pounced directly towards Ye Yi!

"It's such a fast speed, without using the instant body technique, and without any special skills, can it be achieved with just the explosion of the body?" Yoruichi rolled his eyes and stared at Kai, a little surprised at his speed.

This is purely based on the speed of the body, with almost no skills involved...

In terms of pure physical skills, Yoruichi may not be a match for Gai!

However, Yoruichi is not just a master of physical skills, he also knows ninjutsu. Although the soft fist technique is a kind of physical skill, it will be more powerful when used in conjunction with chakra!

If Kai's steel fist is pure physical technique, then the Hyuga clan's soft fist technique should be called Ninja physical technique!

With blue chakra lingering in his right hand, Ye Yi caught Kai's movements with his byakugan and his body also moved accordingly.

It is impossible to bypass the perception of a bloodline ninja using speed!

Even in the original work, Sasuke was suppressed by Rock Lee, not because his eyes could not see Rock Lee's movements, but because his body could not keep up with the reaction and was suppressed!

But Ye Yi will not be in a situation where his body cannot react!

He slapped out with his right palm, just blocking Kai's fist.

'boom……'

Fists and palms collided, chakra overflowed, and the two men retreated at the first blow.

"It's worthy of you, Ye Yi!" Kai's eyes lit up, he squatted down, and swept out a kick.

"Nothing you do can escape my eyes!" Ye Yi smiled, jumped to avoid the sweeping kick, and turned around to kick out with a whip kick.

With a dull 'bang' sound, Kai reacted instantly, crossing his hands in front of him to block Ye Yi's attack, but he was forced back by the force of the attack, and his legs left several-meter-long marks on the ground!

Every time Yoruichi attacks, chakra will gush out from the corresponding acupoints!

This is Yoruichi's own use of the soft fist. The gushing chakra can enhance the strength of his attack, making it even sharper!

"So strong! But I won't lose!" Kai's expression was excited. He touched the ground with his feet and his body suddenly accelerated. In an instant, he was close to Yoruichi. He raised his right leg and lashed down like a whirlwind: "Konoha Whirlwind!"

Feeling the strong wind coming from the side, Ye Yi did not dare to be careless. Without using the lightning stimulation method, he was at most a special jonin. In terms of physical fitness, he was far inferior to Kai's current state.

Of course, in other aspects, Yagi is still much better than Kai!

Especially Kai's movements, they could not escape his perception at all!

"Bagua Palm!" Ye Yi smiled slightly, condensed chakra in his palm, raised his hand and slapped out a chakra shock wave, which collided with Kai's attacking right leg!

With a loud 'bang', Kai felt a sharp pain in his right leg facing this close-range attack. His body was also blown back by the shock wave, and it spun four or five times before falling to the ground!

"Eight Trigrams Empty Bullet!!" Ye Yi continued his attack, and with a flick of his finger, several chakra bullets like hidden weapons flew out from his fingers and headed straight for Kai's position!

Sensing a premonition of danger, Kai reacted quickly. After landing, he dodged Yoruichi's attacks with a flash, and rushed out again, colliding with Yoruichi.

The sound of fists and palms colliding could be heard frequently as the two men moved back and forth on the open ground. Every collision caused the ground to raise dust!

With a 'bang' sound, the two men collided again and then retreated one after another.

Kai stopped and looked a little excited. Although he had known that Yoruichi was very strong, this was the first time they had actually fought!

Although Ye Yi's boxing style is somewhat different from the soft fist, it is ultimately derived from the soft fist and has not changed in essence!

This series of battles also made him realize that the soft fist is indeed unique and cannot be hit easily, otherwise the chakra invading the body will damage the internal organs. No matter how strong you are, the internal organs are a fatal weakness!

However, Kai still firmly believed that the Steel Fist style was the strongest. Since he couldn't be hit, then... just block it, and that's what he did!

A fist that has been through hard training is not that fragile!

Chapter 41: Enlightenment and the Eight Gates

"Go on!" Ye Yi said, and rushed out with a step, slapping down with a palm surrounded by chakra.

"Konoha Great Tornado!" He avoided Yoruichi's attack, retreated for a distance, then rushed out again quickly, his body spinning rapidly, and finally, using the force accumulated from the rotation, he kicked Yoruichi hard.

"Come back!" Seeing this, Ye Yi's chakra gushed out of his body, and his body spun at high speed. The chakra formed a circular shield that blocked Kai's attack.

‘Boom! ’

This time, the movement was more violent, a real collision, with the two men attacking the collision point as the center. The ground sank into a hole and gravel flew out.

It was also because of this collision that Kai's body was bounced back and flew backwards at a speed even faster than before, hitting a big tree behind him, smashing it into pieces!

Ye Yi stood there. Apart from a hole caused by Kaitian under his feet, there was no injury on his body, and even his clothes didn't have many wrinkles.

This scene was not beyond his expectations, and there was no disturbance on his face. Kai, who had not activated the Eight Gates, could not be his opponent!

He looked at Kai and said slowly: "Kai, I know you have a secret skill. Use it, otherwise I won't be able to enjoy it. Only by fighting with you at your full strength can I understand more!"

Kai stood up and felt pain all over his body. He felt that some bones in his body were dislocated after being hit by the Heaven-Rescuing Blast just now...

But after hearing what Ye Yi said, he was stunned, then shook his head and said: "That is the power used to protect companions, not the power to deal with companions!"

"Pedant!" Yoruichi looked at Kai and shook his head pretending to be disappointed. "Even I, a member of the Hyuga family, have abandoned my prejudice against other ninjutsu and taijutsu, and have chosen to accept and absorb other moves besides the Gentle Fist to make myself stronger! How dare you still hold on to such a pedantic idea?"

"Any moves need to be improved in battle, and can only be used at critical moments? Do you think we need you to protect us?" Ye Yi said lightly.

Kai was confused by Yoruichi's words, is this what he meant?

He wanted to explain, but because he was not good at speaking, he began to stammer: "No, I, I didn't mean that..."

"If you keep hiding it, you will stay at the Chunin level all your life. My classmates like me, Kakashi, Asuma, etc. will leave you further and further behind. In the end, you won't even have the chance to fight alongside us. A Chunin ninja will not be allowed to perform any dangerous mission!" Yoruichi had no intention of provoking Kai, although he did have some selfish motives and wanted to see the Eight Gates.

But to be honest, if Kai continues to hide the Eight Gates, it will not be conducive to his development!

Lian Yeyi would consciously show himself in order to establish the idea that he is a genius and a strong man among his peers and seniors!

Only in this way will he be valued and promoted faster!

Power and status, no matter where they are, are extremely useful things!

Yoruichi has a lot of ideas and plans in his mind, but all of these require a high enough status in Konoha so that he can act freely without being restricted too much by other people!

For example, the three ninjas of Konoha, can anyone other than the Third Hokage command them?

不，没有的！

Unless it is an emergency, even the fourth generation and several advisory elders cannot command them!

Even before asking them to carry out a task, they have to ask their wishes and dare not force them. This is the benefit brought by status and strength!

Yoruichi needs to have a higher status in Konoha!

Of course, Ye Yi will not show himself blindly, nor will he reveal all his situation at once. He will slowly show his "value" and let the top management realize that he is worthy of training, so that his status will become higher and higher step by step!

Just being a special jonin is not enough!

Unless one day Yoruichi breaks up with Konoha Village, otherwise, the higher the status, the greater the benefit to him!

The same goes for Kai. Only by showing his talent can he be valued and cultivated!

If he wants to carry forward the Steel Fist Style, he must show his talent and demonstrate the power of the Steel Fist Style. Otherwise, he can only be a Genin his entire life like his father, only bursting out with brilliant light at the very end, and then completely fading into silence!

If any school wants to flourish, it needs a strong person to stand up and let people realize the power of this school!

Although I don’t know whether Kakashi was the one who enlightened Gai in the original work, but this time, let him enlighten him!

These words seemed to hit Kai's soft spot. He was silent for a moment, then looked at Yoruichi with a burning gaze: "Yuroichi, you are right. I want to fight with you. If I continue to hide it, it is very likely that as you said, the gap between us will get farther and farther. I don't want this!!"

Kai seemed to have untied the knot in his heart. He looked at Yoruichi and said solemnly: "You, like Kakashi, will be my eternal opponent. I will not hide anything from you. However, I have not mastered this secret technique deeply enough yet..."

Ye Yi smiled: "Don't worry, use it. No matter what secret technique you use, you can't defeat me!"

Kai took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Eight Gates of Dunjia, the first gate is open, the second gate is rest, the third gate is life, the fourth gate is injury, open!!"

As Kai growled, a powerful chakra suddenly overflowed from his body. In an instant, the overflowing chakra was like a substance, covering Kai's body surface!

At this time, some changes also occurred in Kai's appearance. His skin turned red due to the rapid blood flow, and there were bulging blue veins on his forehead, making him look a little hideous!

Feeling Kai's power at this moment, Ye Yi was also amazed.

Kai's physical skills are not weak to begin with, and the Eight Gates Ninjutsu can just improve his physical fitness, allowing him to burst out with strength beyond his own in a short period of time!

Although only the fourth door was opened, the momentum it displayed was not weak!

The effect of opening the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu is different for people of different strengths. The stronger the person is when he opens the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, the stronger the improvement he gets!

At that time, when Gai's father Might Dai opened all eight gates and exerted his full strength, he could only defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen. But when Gai opened all eight gates, he unleashed a strength that surpassed the Kage level!

From this point we can see that one's own strength is still the foundation!

The chakra fluctuations around Kai dissipated as if they were real, but his skin remained red.

He looked at Yoruichi and introduced briefly: "Yuroichi, this is the secret technique passed down by my father - the Eight Gates Ninjutsu! Now I can open the fifth gate, but it will cause serious damage to my body and may even kill me, so I can only open the fourth gate to compete with you!"

"Eight Gates? Kai, you are indeed an unexpected guy! If you had used this ability during the Special Jonin Examination, you would have been selected!" Yoruichi used his Byakugan and Observation Haki to carefully sense the changes in Kai's body. Through his Byakugan, he saw the chakra surging in Kai's body. He looked at Kai and said, "Kai, you are now worthy of my attention. Let me see your strength!"

Chapter 42 Win!

"Then you have to be careful!" Kai looked focused, and he tapped the ground with his feet. With a 'bang', the ground collapsed directly. With this momentum, his figure rushed towards Ye Yi like a flash of lightning, clenched his fists, and punched out!

"Good timing!" Kai's movements could not escape Ye Yi's perception, but facing such extreme speed, his body was unable to react.

Kai, who has activated the Eight Gates, is so fast!
