Eight Gates Formation

As the Eight Gates Formation were activated, Might Guy's blue Chakra surged, transforming him from a seemingly comedic ninja into a figure whose terrifying destructive power could be felt by anyone.

"Let me give it a try! This Restraint Form that Dr. Vegapunk specially developed for me!"

With Might Guy's roar, the violent Chakra that had been constantly leaking from his body slowly subsided. This was not something Might Guy did on his own, but rather because his green Training Suit was indeed a special product of Vegapunk.

Its effect is quite simple: it is specifically designed to stimulate acupoints throughout the body and calm the Chakra surge.

The principle of the Eight Gates Formation is very simple, and it is no different from the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art in some martial arts novels. Even for Vegapunk, he has no ability to modify this self-destructive Ninjutsu. After the Eight Gates Formation are opened, the rampaging and uncontrollable Chakra can only be used to enhance Taijutsu, and nothing else.

Therefore, the enhancement of this Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf relies on external aids in addition to improving Might Guy's physique. The special Training Suit can completely restrain the rampaging Chakra, allowing it to flow freely in the meridians, thus reducing the pressure on the body.

On the other hand, the high-speed flow of Chakra, completely compressed inside the meridians, can give Might Guy speed and power far exceeding that of the normal Eight Gates state, instead of meaninglessly venting that Chakra outwards.

That Training Suit can effectively restrain Chakra up to the Seventh Gate. When the Eight Gates Formation is open, it can increase strength and speed by a level, and the backlash is reduced quite a bit. As for the Eight Gates, it's hard to say. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem, but Might Guy has never tried it.

After the Restraint Form was activated, although the Chakra was suppressed back, causing the power of the Eight Gates Formation to dissipate by more than half, sensitive ninjas could still sense that the danger emanating from Might Guy had actually increased significantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Might Guy clenched his fists and swung them out. "Morning Peacock!"

The air was compressed into projectiles, which, like a magnificent peacock spreading its tail, transformed into countless white beams of light that slammed directly into Nagato. Nagato frowned slightly; at this moment, he dared not use the Phantom Dragon Nine Sealing Consumption to block them.

In the Eight Gates Formation, from Morning Peacock to Night Guy, all attacks are purely physical air cannon attacks, and the ability to absorb Chakra is completely ineffective against them.

The illusory dragon shadow slowly dissipated. Even Nagato was unable to use two advanced Ninjutsu simultaneously. Therefore, when he used the Phantom Dragon Nine Sealing Consumption, he was also unable to use other abilities.

Having deactivated the Phantom Dragon Nine Sealing Consumption, Nagato looked at the air blast that was almost hitting his face and murmured softly, "Shinra Tensei!"

With a loud bang, the white beam of light was directly blasted away. The residual power of Shinra Tensei was still there, like a terrifying high wall, directly crushing everything in front of it!

This time, Nagato didn't hold back his Chakra. In both Sage Mode and the incomplete Ten-Tails Jinchuriki mode, he unleashed the immense power of Shinra Tensei. Even though it wasn't as powerful as the Super Divine Push, which consumes life force, it instantly sent the thousands of ninjas in front of him flying.

In an instant, blood gushed forth, and countless ninjas flew through the air. Those with weaker physical abilities were blasted into bloody fireworks, while the stronger ones coughed up blood and collapsed with serious injuries. Of the thousands of ninjas who stood in front of Nagato, ninety-nine percent had already fallen after just one move.

"The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder, open!"

As the strongest in terms of physical ability among those thousands of ninjas, Might Guy naturally wouldn't die so easily. Moreover, after being modified by Vegapunk and in the state of opening the Eight Gates, the pressure of his internal Chakra would actually reduce the damage from external attacks.

However, seeing such a tragic scene, with Konoha Ninja turning into stars, countless blood and severed limbs, and the crater leveled into the Konoha Kage Rock, still enraged Might Guy, who once again increased the power of the Eight Gates Formation.

With his feet firmly planted on the air, Might Guy transformed into a phantom as he charged towards Nagato, his clenched fist unleashing a shockwave as fierce as a tiger's roar.

"Daytime Tiger!"

The beam of light, rubbed against the air, transformed into a tiger shape, dazzlingly bright like the sun at its zenith, and pounced on Nagato remained indifferent to it.

"Unless you reach the Gate of Death, it's useless against me!"

He spoke these words indifferently, then once again controlled the gravity to compress it into a blade-like shape, casually slashing at the lunging air tiger. In an instant, the entire air tiger was split in two, slamming into Nagato's left and right sides without causing any damage to him.

"Come on! Open all Eight Gates Formation! Only then will you have even the slightest chance of winning!"

Looking at Nagato, whose expression was calm and indifferent like a god, who had killed so many ninjas as if he had just brushed off dust, Nagato Might Guy took a long breath. "Even if you don't say it, I will show you! This is the culmination of my 18 years of youthful sweat! Witness my final brilliance!"

"Eight Gates Formation — Eighth Gate — Gate of Death, open!"

A faint red gas diffused out slightly, then was compressed back into his body by the Training Suit. With the help of the Training Suit strengthening his meridians, Might Guy barely managed to suppress the rampaging Chakra, but the intense pain still made him gasp.

Although Might Guy's physical abilities are now no less than those in the final battle of the original work, thanks to Vegapunk's help, he lacks nearly ten years of self-discipline and training, so his willpower is still slightly weaker than in the original work. This caused him to pause for a moment due to pain after Gate of Death the Eight Gates Formation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nagato's figure, which had been indifferent, flickered slightly and disappeared into thin air.

Might Guy stared at Nagato, who had vanished without a trace, his expression stiffening slightly. Where did he go? He was just acting all high and mighty a moment ago, and now he's disappeared without a trace.

"Only a fool would risk his life fighting someone who has opened the Eight Gates Formation to the Gate of Death! I just wanted to collect some information about the Eight Gates Formation."

Nagato walked down the dark corridor, muttering to herself, a smile playing on her lips.

Might Guy's Training Suit was no joke; it contained a small Chip that recorded all the changes in Might Guy body. Although the Eight Gates Formation was simple and crude with little technical sophistication, the data on the human body in this state of fully unleashed potential was very valuable for research, at least in determining the limits of the human body.

Even if Vegapunk could create assassins who could use the Eight Gates Formation, such people would be incomparable to Might Guy had trained entirely on his own.

Might Duy opened the Eight Gates Formation and could only turn the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Might Guy into a bunch of good-for-nothings. Might Guy opened the Eight Gates Formation but almost didn't make it to the end. Those guys who were forced to open the Eight Gates Formation by Vegapunk were not even as good as Might Duy. Generally speaking, they would be completely turned to ashes with a single blow, and at most they could only fight one for one.

Therefore, the Eight Gates Formation is not actually important; what is truly important is the father and son Mike who were able to consistently master the Eight Gates Formation!

Naturally, as a clone of Vegapunk, Nagato forced Might Guy to open the Gate of Death of the Eight Gates Formation simply to collect data.

"I wonder if the Training Suit can save Might Guy... Oh well, let's see what fate has in store! Heh, I can already feel Naruto Uzumaki's mark getting closer and closer to me. It really was you, Danzo!"

The fact that they secretly took Naruto Uzumaki away instead of going to support the Third Hokage is something that only Danzo's Root could do. It seems that no one else in Konoha could do such a thing.

With Nagato having ravaged the entire Konoha, only Danzo still had the mind to resort to such tactics. The other ninjas were either protecting their own clans, arranging for the evacuation of civilians, or fighting Nagato... Only Danzo's Root remained huddled at the very bottom of the Hokage Rock, barely moving.

Indeed, Danzo's Root also located here at the Hokage Rock. It must be said that this place is truly a geomantically auspicious location. The mountainside in the middle has become a refuge for the Konoha, and a cave has been dug out at the bottom, which is the location of Konoha's Root.

Nagato strolled over slowly, actually sensing the Flying Thunder God Mark at Root. It was left by Vegapunk Clone and could be used by him, a clone also controlled by Vegapunk.

However, after entering the Root, he quickly sensed Naruto Uzumaki's mark again—but this was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails Chakra, Danzo's life... I wonder where Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, those two Hokage Advisor, are? But it doesn't matter..."

"Once all these older generation members are wiped out, that clone can easily take control of Konoha... Heh, you want to completely control me? Take a piss and look at yourself!"

As Nagato walked down the dark corridor, a streak of orange-red sword light suddenly flashed past from behind, accompanied by a soft shout, "Sword Leap Flame!"

With a soft thud, the longsword encircled by flames pierced Nagato's body. However, the attacker showed no joy; instead, his expression changed slightly, and he retreated rapidly.

Nagato's body rapidly and violently burned, but instead of the smell of burning protein, it emitted a crackling sound, as if wood were burning.

"Wood Clone? This is Wood Style! How is this possible?"

The ninja who launched the sneak attack showed a hint of shock on his face, because Wood Style was of such great significance to Konoha! He never expected to see such Ninjutsu on an enemy ninja who was attacking Konoha!

"Shisui Uchiha!?" Nagato's figure slowly emerged from the darkness, looking at the young Uchiha before him. "He actually mingled with Danzo in Root? He really is... hopelessly naive!"

"Shut up, you madman!" Shisui Uchiha calmed himself down and said with a fierce brow, "I won't let you destroy Konoha! I'll use my Mangekyō Sharingan to stop you completely!"

"Kotoamatsukami!"

Almost instantly, Shisui Uchiha went all in, unleashing the strongest power of his Mangekyō Sharingan. Blood slowly flowed from his eyes, and the three Tomoe in his Sharingan quickly condensed into a Mangekyo pattern, spinning wildly.

However...

"Thinking that an ordinary Mangekyo can defeat the Rinnegan is wishful thinking!"

With a cold laugh, Nagato's eyes turned purple. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Genjutsu was completely ineffective against the more advanced Rinnegan, and instead suffered a severe backlash.

In reality, even if Nagato didn't have the Rinnegan, Kotoamatsukami wouldn't be effective. After all, what truly controls Nagato is the Chip in his brain, and that Biological Chip is directly connected to the Quantum Chip in Vegapunk's brain. To completely control the Biological Chip is equivalent to wresting control from the Quantum Chip.

It's not that Vegapunk Kotoamatsukami Vegapunk. The Quantum Chip, as his greatest masterpiece, has the special effect of developing faster the more knowledge it acquires. After a period of iterative upgrades and development, especially in the parallel space, it has absorbed almost the vast majority of the knowledge in the Ninja World. Its computing power is comparable to one-third of the current Quantum Brain!

The Quantum Brain can perform molecular calculations at the galaxy level, and even a slightly less powerful Quantum Chip can perform molecular calculations at the planetary level. It is tens of thousands of times stronger than the brain of an ordinary person. No matter how powerful the Kotoamatsukami Genjutsu is, it is far inferior to it.

Kotoamatsukami, a Genjutsu, is the most energy-consuming of all Mangekyo Dōjutsu. It requires more than ten years to cool down after each use, which already demonstrates the burden it Mangekyō Sharingan.

If the spell succeeds, all will be well; but if it fails, the backlash will be enormous. Shisui Uchiha let out a miserable groan, and the Blood Tears that had been flowing slowly suddenly gushed out like a water gun. He covered his eyes in pain and knelt down on the ground, feeling as if everything went black.

"How... is this possible? That's... the Rinnegan... Damn it... the difference in Pupil Power is too great!"

Slowly walking up to Shisui Uchiha, Nagato saw this Mangekyo Uchiha who had ruined himself, and couldn't help but shake his head. "As expected, no matter which timeline it is, Shisui Uchiha, who possesses such terrifying abilities, will ultimately leave with a laughable ending..."

"It's over. Now, I'll take good care of your Mangekyo!"

Just as Nagato reached out, another ninja's voice rang out from behind him.

"Wood Style: Wood Dome Spears!"

A wooden spear, harder than steel, pierced Nagato's back. With a cold laugh, Nagato ignored the attack from behind and grabbed Shisui Uchiha's head. His soul absorption ability activated instantly, Shisui groaned before immediately losing consciousness.

The wooden spear aimed at Nagato was stopped by the Chakra Armor appeared just before it touched him. Nagato slowly turned around and looked at the young ninja who appeared in front of him, who was about the same size as Shisui Uchiha, and revealed a cold smile.
