Chapter 20: Personal mission
"Sensei, just let me spar with him once more." Sasuke asked with a serious look on his face.
"No." Kakshi replied as he looked at Sasuke.
This brat was becoming very annoying, how was he supposed to read the latest Make our tactics at this rate?
"Then will you help me Kakshi sensei? Pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeee." Naruto pleaded while being on his knees.
"Sigh."
Kakshi then stood up and turned towards the Hokage statue for a moment.
He should probably start teaching them something other than just the basics.
Especially since they are so motivated right now.
Only Sakura…forget it, she will come around when she sees Sasuke.
"Fine, I have something to teach each of you."
…
"Guy. Are you sure about this?" The 3rd Hokage asked as he saw one of his strongest Shinobi in front of him.
He was currently asking permission for something he had done a year ago.
Something that he was already reluctant to allow at the time.
"Yes, I believe that he is a splendid Shinobi who is extremely talented in Taijutsu. He deserves this, Lord Hokage." Guy explained.
"Very well, the 8 Gates is your Jutsu, you can teach it to whomever you deem fit."
"I know Lord Hokage, I was simply asking since it is a Forbidden Jutsu of the village. I also wanted to know your opinion."
The Hokage took a puff of smoke and looked outside for a while as he studied the village.
"We have tough times ahead. As you know about Naido's latest mission…no matter. I think young Shikomu will be a splendid shinobi. Investing in him cannot go wrong."
"Alright Lord Hokage, I will take my leave."
The Hokage looked back and saw the power work and requirement of resources he had just allocated to Danzo's root.
'A necessary evil, amidst the already evil world.' He justified to himself.
…
"Shikomu. From today onwards we are going to start an intensive training programme. I already spoke to your sensei, for the next 6 weeks, all you will do is train in Taijustu." Guy sensei told me as I approached him.
"What?"
For 6 weeks ? What the hell! I had so much I had to do before I could use the Jutsu's I had unlocked.
Not only was it ridiculously difficult to use Wood Release, the initial requirments were staggering too.
I had to bring my Earth Elemental manipulation up too.
I wanted to finish that before the Chunin Exams started so I could at least have a shit ton of fire-power in case pedomaru attacked…
"Yes, I will be teaching you my special Taijutsu. Something only 2 people, well technically 3, know right now." He said with utmost seriousness.
As he said that, I understood what he was talking about.
If it really was that…maybe it was worth it for me to practice Taijutsu for 6 weeks.
After all, Guys jutsu is way more practical in a fight for someone like me, who only has ChunIn level chakra reserves.
I can't spam the Wood release like Hashirama Senju.
"I will be teaching you my Signature Jutsu, the 8 Gates!"
As he said that, I could swear his teeth shone brighter than the entire world itself.
He then took out a scroll from his Ninja Bag and opened it, and a detailed outline of the human body was shown to me.
"This is the human body." He explained, as he pointed to 8 specific parts in the diagram.
"The 8 gates are 8 specific Tenkutsu along the chakra pathway system.
The Eight Gates exist in order to limit the flow of chakra within an individual's body. Normally, individuals can use no more than 20% of their body's full potential, the brain's way of protecting the individual from harming their body through overexertion. With training, individuals can learn to remove these limiters, referred to as "opening" the gates.With each opened gate, individuals are given access to more and more of their body's chakra, thus increasing their physical strength and speed."
I nodded along, listening to his lecture.
"So, you need to increase your body's base strength first. To be at the cusp of preferably at Jonin level. Following that we will begin opening the gates."
I raised my hand as if I was in a classroom to which Guy nodded and smiled, singling me to ask the question.
"Then sensei, is that why I need 6 weeks? So I can have Jonin strength?"
"Yes and no. I believe you can have that strength in 1 month at the latest, but I also need you to master a couple of Taijutsu techniques before opening the gates."
A month huh, I'll do it in a couple of days by using the spare points I have. I will be able to save a lot of time this way.
{Congratulations for a player to be the first to become the next in line to control one of the 6 Main Lands in the Elemental Nations.}
{The player will be provided with 3,000 EXP for the MONUMENTAL accomplishment and be the 2rd (1/5) to gain access to the 'Elite-Chat.' There are only 4 more spots for the Elite-Chat}
As I looked at the sudden achievements, I couldn't help but be shocked.
Did someone get the role of 'Daminyo' son or something ?
What is this insane luck? And why is everyone getting 3,000 EXP but me ?
"Shikomu? Are you paying attention?" Guy asked me as I snapped back to reality.
"Sorry sensei, could you repeat that?"
"Sure! You're already learning faster than Lee. The 8 Gates are a double edged sword. The more you unlock them, the more damage you cause to yourself, and the final Gate causes death. So Shikomu, I will only teach you the 8 gates if you promise you will only open the final Gate when there is a precious life you want to save."
I nodded, agreeing to what he said. I had no intention of opening the 8th gate.
At least not until I had some overpowered regeneration methods.
"Now, let's start training! 100,000 1 finger push ups per finger!"
"."
…
(1 week from then)
"You are right Naido, he improves monstrously." Guy said, as they observed Shikomu training with Lee.
His Chakra and Jounin is literally the extreme peak of a ChunIn.
"His techniques as well. It is a surprise he didn't graduate early from the academy like Kakshi did." Naido commented.
"Maybe we are just that good of teachers." Guy said with an extremely happy smile.
Shikomu himself was pissed off with his current development.
Why did I see nothing about this on the forums ? Or is it that casual players haven't had this problem yet.
It's probably because those great guilds hogged this information.
