Chapter 326 - 11

Chapter 11: Eight GatesThe reason Naruto revealed the secret that he was a rubber man was not because he didn't want to keep a trump card for himself, but because, given the level of surveillance by various factions in Konoha Village, exposure was only a matter of time, and some people might even have known already.Moreover, he couldn't just avoid training his various skills forever. At the very least, based on what he knew now, techniques like Gear Third and Gear Fourth were still in a state of development, so it was better to just speak up about it.After seeing the techniques Naruto had "self-created," Might Guy was certain that his disciple was a one-in-a-million taijutsu genius, and at this moment, he had made a crucial decision.He walked up to Naruto and said in a rarely serious tone: "Naruto, your master has an ultimate technique at the bottom of the box, which was passed down to me by my father.""I originally intended to wait until you had grown a bit more before teaching it to you, but now it seems there is no harm in telling you early."As soon as Might Guy finished speaking, Kakashisaid in disbelief: "Guy, have you really decided? He is still so young, won't it..."Before Kakashi could finish, Might Guy smiled at him and said: "Why not?""Regardless of what kind of technique it is, even if it is a forbidden technique, it depends on who is using it. The strongest technique is one used to protect what you have sworn to defend."Kakashi hadn't expected the other party to say something like that just because he expressed a little worry. He looked at Might Guy, seemingly wanting to get to know this old friend all over again.Might Guy didn't mind, but continued to say to Naruto: "The name of this technique is the Eight Gates, which involves unlocking the channels in the human body that restrict Chakra to temporarily gain powerful strength.""When all Eight Gates are opened, it is also known as the 'Eight Gates Formation,' which can instantly grant power dozens of times greater than the Five Kage.""However, the power of the Eight Gates depends on the user themselves, increasing by multiples of the user's own power, so the power after opening the Eight Gates varies from person to person.""Opening the eighth gate—the Gate of Death—will also lead to death because one's own life force is burned out.""This is a technique that removes the body's restrictions on Chakra, allowing excess energy to be released.""In the meridian system where Chakra flows, the places that inhibit and control the Chakra in the body are the 'Eight Gates': the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Gate of View, the Gate of View, the Gate of View, the Gate of View, and the Gate of Death.""These Eight Gates set limits on the amount of Chakra in the body, but this technique can force Chakra to exceed these limits, thereby drawing out strength dozens of times stronger than one's original power.""However, while gaining power, the user themselves will suffer damage, so this technique is listed as one of the forbidden techniques.""Opening the first three gates does not place too much burden on the body; it just improves the user's various physical attributes. The true threshold of entering the Eight Gates begins from the fourth gate, the Gate of View.""Now you understand the meaning of our training these days!""Only after your body has reached its limit countless times can you withstand the side effects brought about by this technique, and it will also ensure that you are not affected by pain during battle.""And while the eighth gate is still quite distant for you, I decided to tell you about it first because the technique you just demonstrated is very similar to opening the Gate of Death.""The Gate of Death is also called the Eight GatesFormation; it requires opening all of one's own restriction gates and gathering all of one's Chakrainto the heart.""By squeezing the heart to overdraft all of one's own functions, blood vapor is a major characteristic of the opening of the Gate of Death, because as the blood flow accelerates, it will appear around your body through the blood vessels and skin.""After the technique is completed, your heart, blood vessels, and meridians will all be shattered. This is the moment when life reaches its end, so the Gate of Death must not be used lightly unless it is the most critical juncture.""Naruto, your master can still accompany you in training for one month, because I have already accepted a mission. By the time we meet again, it will perhaps be after you start at the Ninja Academy.""In the days I am away, you must train diligently and must not slack off. When I return, I will personally inspect your training results."After hearing this, Naruto bowed to Might Guy, and with a face full of determination on his youthful features, said: "Yes, Master Guy, I will definitely not let you down.""However, I have a question I would like to ask regarding the Eight Gates."Might Guy heard this, raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously: "Oh? What question is it? Go ahead!"Naruto organized his thoughts and said: "Teacher, you just said that after opening the Gate of Death, the result for the user is that the meridians and heart and so on will all be shattered.""But I am a rubber man now, so the resilience of my internal organs is much better than that of an ordinary person. Does that mean that when I have trained to a certain level, even if I open the Gate of Death, I won't perish in the end?"This question from Naruto completely stumped the two knowledgeable Jonin in front of him, especially Guy, who was so surprised for a moment that he opened his big mouth but didn't know how to answer this question.In the end, it was the quick-witted Kakashi who thought of a solution. He pushed up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan, and looking at Naruto, said: "First, let me see if you are a rubber man from the inside out!"Kakashi carefully observed Naruto's body with his Sharingan. After a while, he pulled his forehead protector down to cover his left eye and said: "From my observation, everything inside your body except for your blood is made of the same material, even your bones are the same.""In other words, you are a complete rubber man now. Based on my understanding of the Eight Gates, the situation you described does not seem impossible."Before Naruto could respond, Might Guy was the first to get excited. He grabbed Naruto and hugged him, rubbing his face against him while saying: "Naruto, my choice was indeed correct. The Eight Gates technique was practically born for you."Naruto was held in his arms, unable to speak, and unable to break free. Although he was struggling with all his might, it seemed Guy had no intention of stopping.This scene was clearly disgusting to Kakashi as well. He sighed helplessly and said: "You two master and disciple continue to enjoy your warm time here; I am going back to sleep."After saying this, Kakashi fled the scene at the fastest speed he could manage.
