Eight Gates Formation: Once Used, It Pitted You Against Your Own Body
Hagoromo did not underestimate Might Guy's attack, but instead used the ultimate technique from the Inch Power Eight Gates, 'No-Self Realm'.
After all, Might Guy's move could be considered as using the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation.
"Hmm? This kind of Taijutsu!"
Seeing Hagoromo in this state, Kakashi, who was standing outside the arena, immediately reached out and removed the blindfold covering his eyes.
The Scarlet Sharingan looked towards Hagoromo.
"The inability to replicate it isn't just due to the effect of Chakra on cells, but also to that unique breathing technique?"
After observing for a while, Kakashi shook his head helplessly, but still kept his Sharingan the two people in the arena.
In the current battles, you need the Sharingan to see things more clearly.
"Where did you get your Sharingan from?!"
Sasuke, who was standing to the side, had already opened his eyes, and his Scarlet One-Tomoe Sharingan at Kakashi and questioned him.
"From the Uchiha Clan, perhaps?"
Kakashi murmured something, then pointed to the two figures on the field.
"Let's observe first. If you can understand their battles, it will be of great help to you."
Sasuke was taken aback by these words, and then immediately turned to look in the direction of Hagoromo and Might Guy.
Kakashi is right. After all, their teacher taught them Taijutsu, but they never really understood Hagoromo's strength.
This time, with the opportunity to observe carefully, we certainly can't give up.
As for Kakashi, we can ask him about it later.
On the field, after entering No-Self Realm, Hagoromo unleashed a series of different moves to break through Might Guy's offensive.
All attacks had a Chakra shock effect, which made Might Guy serious.
After retreating to create more distance once again, Might Guy stopped his attack.
Hagoromo adjusted her breathing and looked at Might Guy with a puzzled expression.
"Hagoromo, remove your weights. I want to test your full strength!"
Might Guy looked at Hagoromo with a serious expression and spoke.
From the battle just now, Might Guy could tell that Hagoromo was carrying a heavy load, and it was definitely not light.
Hagoromo was taken aback, then thought for a moment before nodding.
First, he removed the weights from his feet, then reached up and untied the bandaged weights from his wrists, throwing them behind him.
Boom--
The two heavy objects crashed down, creating a large crater in the ground.
"Hey, you're kidding, right?" Kakashi muttered, looking at the deep pit with a shocked expression.
"Sasuke, how much do you think the teacher is carrying?"
Naruto nudged Sasuke beside him and asked, since the weight he was carrying wouldn't have the same effect if it hit him.
He should do that too, it's so cool.
"I estimate each one to be around two hundred pounds," Sasuke said after a rough estimate.
"Hiss, that's four times my amount!" Naruto exclaimed in shock.
"Wrong, Dead Last. That doesn't even include the weight the teacher was carrying on her feet just now."
Sasuke shook his head, after all, he had only estimated the weight his teacher was carrying.
"Teacher is so cool!" Naruto shouted immediately after hearing Sasuke's words.
"Not bad, Hagoromo! This is youth!"
Might Guy, seeing the imposing presence of the Hagoromo, gave Hagoromo a thumbs-up in praise.
"Senior Kai, I'd also like to witness the power of the Forbidden Jutsu 'Eight Gates Formation'."
Hagoromo assumed the starting stance again and addressed Might Guy.
"No problem! I haven't felt this excited in ages! This is youth!"
Might Guy nodded solemnly, gathering Chakra throughout his body.
"Eight Gates Formation, Third Gate: Gate of Life, Open!"
A powerful surge of Chakra erupted directly within the training ground, causing Might Guy to move without any wind.
Jonin Guy Hagoromo, his Chakra, spoke to Might Guy:
"Hagoromo, this is the Eight Gates Formation!"
Hagoromo watched as Might Guy entered the third gate without batting an eye, and knew that this was not Might Guy's limit.
It's estimated that Kai's greatest burst of power will come when he gets the Seventh Gate, after all, the Gate of Death is a move that uses life as its weapon.
It's doubtful he can even catch Kai's Five Gates now.
"Please enlighten me!" Hagoromo said in a deep voice, adjusting her breathing once more.
An even more exaggerated Chakra surge than the previous No-Self Realm erupted directly.
"Take this! Li Lianhua!"
Might Guy instantly unleashed a speed even more exaggerated than the Body Flicker Technique, rapidly attacking Hagoromo's side.
"Hey, Sasuke, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Naruto swallowed hard, asking Sasuke with some disbelief.
After all, he only saw a blurry shadow, seemingly stepping on thin air and attacking his teacher relentlessly.
"I'm not sure either, because at this speed, my Sharingan's perception can't detect it."
As he spoke, Sasuke considered using Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate cell activation, wanting to see what would happen.
"Uchiha, you must have activated this state not long ago, right? I advise you not to use it again for a while."
Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a serious expression, through his Sharingan.
Sasuke's meridians are already damaged.
"Not bad, Sasuke. If Hagoromo -sensei finds out, you're definitely going to get a scolding."
Naruto nodded in agreement.
"I'll explain it to you then," Kakashi said directly upon seeing the situation.
"Might Guy is currently using a Forbidden Jutsu called 'Eight Gates Formation'."
"Eight Gates Formation? It looks like Master Hagoromo's 'Inch Power Eight Gates'." Naruto scratched his head and said.
Kakashi was taken aback and glanced at Might Guy, who was fighting Might Hagoromo.
That's really impressive. After all, to be able to fight Might Guy has opened three gates, to this extent is already quite good in terms of Taijutsu.
"What technique did that ninja with thick eyebrows use?" Naruto asked, pointing at the rapidly moving green figure.
"The Reverse Lotus is a Taijutsu that releases excess energy by breaking free from the body's natural constraints."
"This technique, if used by someone who cannot withstand the burden, will injure themselves, which is why it is classified as Forbidden Jutsu."
Kakashi explained to Naruto and the others.
"Can't we eliminate the side effects of this Taijutsu through physical training?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.
"There's no way around it. The Eight Gates Formation is about pushing the limits of the body; whatever power you use, your body will suffer equal damage."
Kakashi shook his head and said, "If we could really eliminate this side effect by exercising and strengthening our bodies..."
Then Might Guy wouldn't need to train every single day.
This is not just about strengthening one's physical body, but also about training one's will.
Opening the Eight Gates is essentially a struggle against one's own body, something Kakashi, who had learned the first gate, naturally understood.
Naruto looked on with a hint of doubt, but didn't say anything. After all, his teacher's Inch Power Eight Gates, apart from the Third Form and the No-Self Realm his teacher was using now, were all different.
Such a result is highly unlikely. Could it be due to the Crescent Moon Breathing Method?
Naruto suddenly remembered what Hagoromo had emphasized to them before: no matter how Proficient they were with the Inch Power Eight Gates, they still had to master the Crescent Moon Breathing Method.
