Chapter 73: [Eight Gates Technique Training Method] [Eight Gates Sealing Technique]
"Eight Gates Technique."
Might Guy is a decisive person. Since he had already made up his mind, he didn't hesitate and began explaining immediately.
"The Eight Gates Technique unleashes a massive amount of chakra at once by breaking the body's natural chakra limits..."
The Eight Gates are not particularly mysterious.
Anyone who trains long enough can understand them, and some can even personally touch this realm.
However, for most ninja, the Eight Gates are an unattainable domain—something they can only observe but never control.
Ishihara, of course, understands this well, even able to observe the Eight Gates clearly using his Byakugan.
But there's a prerequisite to using the Eight Gates Technique: rigorous, overloading, extreme, and prolonged training.
Only such training can enable the body's organs and muscles to adapt to the overwhelming strain of opening the Eight Gates, thereby minimizing the damage caused by the enormous chakra unleashed.
And this has nothing to do with one's physical strength.
Even if your body is strong and your chakra reserves is vast, the energy outburst from opening the Eight Gates would still be overwhelming.
Before the Eight Gates Technique, everyone's physique is equal.
"Running fifty laps around Konoha upside down every day, kicking with weights ten thousand times..."
Listening to Might Guy's exaggerated tales of his taijutsu training, Ishihara couldn't help but be amazed.
What's even more terrifying is that Guy has sustained this level of intense training for twenty years!
Simply inhuman!
At the same time, Ishihara activated his Byakugan and used X-ray vision to examine Guy's body and the Eight Gates within.
Might Guy's muscle fibers were denser than ordinary people's, and his ligaments, bones, and other tissues were far stronger than the average ninja's.
Even his organs, such as his lungs and heart, exhibited much greater vitality.
However, his muscles and bones also bore multiple scars, suggesting past tears and breaks—likely caused by the Eight Gates Technique.
What caught Ishihara's attention most was Guy's chakra network and the surrounding tissues, which were far more robust than other ninjas'.
Especially in the locations of the Eight Gates, where there were clear signs of frequent opening.
Soon, Might Guy finished his explanation, but Ishihara felt it wasn't enough. "I need to see you open the Eight Gates with my own eyes. It would be best if I could experience it myself."
"Experience it?" Guy was a little confused.
"I have a secret technique called the Life Chain. It allows me to connect my chakra to yours and feel what's happening inside your body."
"As long as I connect to your chakra, I can observe more detailed changes when you use the Eight Gates Technique."
"It will also help me develop new secret techniques!"
"Don't worry. After the demonstration, you can dispel my chakra on your own."
"It's up to you whether to proceed."
Ishihara didn't press the matter, as everyone knows how risky it is to allow someone else's chakra into your body.
However, Might Guy didn't hesitate. "I agree!"
Since he had already handed over the Eight Gates Technique, he wouldn't hold back anything.
Kakashi, standing nearby, quickly intervened: "Wait, let me get someone else to assist!"
He then turned to Ishihara, apologetically saying, "For Guy's safety, I hope you'll understand, Mr. Ishihara."
"It's fine. Go ahead and get someone."
Ishihara waved his hand dismissively. This would save them from arguing later, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Soon, Kakashi returned with someone—Hyuga Hiashi!
"Mr. Ishihara," Hiashi greeted respectfully before stepping aside.
He already knew what was required of him, so he immediately activated his Byakugan, focusing intently.
Kakashi: "We can begin now."
Ishihara nodded and immediately cast the Life Chain technique.
In an instant, visible blue chakra linked Ishihara to Might Guy.
"Start now. Unleash the full Eight Gates so I can observe!"
"Alright!"
Might Guy crossed his arms, tightening his muscles.
"First Gate of the Eight Gates, Gate of Opening, Open!"
Buzz—
A unique wave of energy radiated from him.
Ishihara could clearly see the Gate of Opening in Guy's brain unlock effortlessly, as though it was second nature.
As the first gate opened, Ishihara felt the changes in Guy's body.
His nervous system altered, no longer inhibiting his muscles and other tissues, allowing them to function at full capacity.
The First Gate removes brain restrictions, enabling the body to exert maximum strength.
"Second Gate, Gate of Healing, Open!"
Immediately, Guy's cells seemed to be stimulated, becoming even more active, with his life energy visibly increasing.
The Second Gate lifts the body's fatigue limit, rapidly restoring stamina.
"Third Gate, Gate of Life, Open!"
Ishihara could clearly see the chakra flow in Guy's chakra network reaching its limit, causing the channels to bulge and press against the nearby capillaries.
Blood flow increased, turning Guy's skin red, veins bulging across the surface!
Chakra began to overflow!
A green energy radiated from his entire body.
"Is this overflowing life energy due to being squeezed out?"
Ishihara analyzed the green energy, surprised.
The Third Gate represents the final safe zone for the Eight Gates Technique, maximizing combat power without causing direct bodily harm.
"Fourth Gate, Gate of Pain, Open!"
"Fifth Gate, Gate of Limit, Open!"
"Sixth Gate, Gate of View, Open!"
Three more gates opened in quick succession without any noticeable changes.
However, the chakra flow rate and quantity in the chakra network continued to surge—surge—until it reached an overwhelming level!
Guy's physical capabilities exploded beyond normal limits!
The violent chakra was uncontrollable!
Fine control was out of the question; even basic control became incredibly difficult!
This violent chakra was also continuously damaging Guy's body.
Muscles were being torn! Bones were getting injured!
And this was Guy, whose body had been honed through countless intense training sessions. If it were anyone else, their bones would've been shattered!
They might even explode from the overwhelming force!
Ishihara frowned as he watched.
"This method of using chakra is too crude."
