Eight Gates (Please Keep Reading)

Disciple Might Guy has set a training task.

Training Task: Obtain a training plan that can increase strength

Reward: Determined by task completion

Mu Yue felt a little conflicted as he looked at the training task Might Guy had triggered.

He had thought the task would be to defeat Kakashi, but it had turned out to be obtaining a training plan.

Could this even be called a "training task"?

Mu Yue carefully considered the chain of events that had triggered the training tasks and came up with a few guesses.

A disciple's thoughts determined the content of their training task. Obito felt that, with his current abilities, there was no way he could securely take first place in the Youth Ninjutsu Tournament, which was why his training task was to win first place.

When Obito learned that the tournament was being held again, there had only been two weeks left before it began.

With so little time, Obito believed that only with Mu Yue's help could he possibly take first place.

Might Guy, on the other hand, wanted to defeat Kakashi, but he was not desperate about it. Nor did he think he absolutely had to seek Mu Yue's help to defeat Kakashi.

Perhaps because they had only known each other for a month, and he was purely the one benefiting from the relationship, Might Guy felt embarrassed about troubling Mu Yue too much.

All those factors combined, ultimately making Might Guy's training task rather strange.

"Teacher, I'll have to trouble you with the training plan," Might Guy said gratefully.

"How is that any trouble? You're so eager to become stronger. I'm happy about it before anything else," Mu Yue said, patting Might Guy's head.

"Because for a teacher, seeing his disciples become stronger is the best repayment."

Mu Yue's expression was extremely sincere.

It was not an act. Those were truly Mu Yue's heartfelt words.

Hearing those words again, Might Guy felt something different in his heart.

Maybe he should rely on Mu Yue a little more.

The two of them went to the training grounds together.

Obito had nearly completed his Tree Climbing training, and next he would begin practicing Water Walking.

Might Guy was still training his physique, repeatedly performing all kinds of exercises.

Shisui was practicing genjutsu with Mu Yue's Shadow Clone.

Mu Yue's main body was completing Might Guy's training task—helping Might Guy devise a new training plan.

This was not something he could simply scribble down on a whim. There were many factors to consider.

He could not just drastically increase the training intensity because someone wanted to grow stronger. He also had to consider what the body could endure.

As the sky gradually darkened, the three boys finished the training Mu Yue had assigned, and Mu Yue also completed Might Guy's new training plan.

Mu Yue stopped Might Guy alone and handed him the training plan.

Training Task Completed. Reward obtained: Training Elixir ×20, Chakra +150

Training Elixir: Effectively relieves physical fatigue, restores the body, and eliminates hidden injuries.

The task had been settled immediately, and the rewards were a little better than Mu Yue had expected.

After all, the task had been far too simple. Mu Yue had thought that getting even a little Chakra would already be a profit.

Yet he had received twenty Training Elixirs as well. It was truly an unexpected delight.

That made him look forward even more to the rewards Obito would receive upon completing his task.

After all, in terms of difficulty, Obito's training task was much more troublesome than Might Guy's.

With a thought, Mu Yue pretended to rummage through his Ninja Tool Pouch, then took out a Training Elixir from the system space and handed it to Might Guy.

"This is for you. Eat it," Mu Yue said with a smile.

Of his three disciples, Might Guy was probably the one who needed this the most. His training intensity was simply too high.

"Thank you, Teacher. What is this?" Might Guy asked curiously as he accepted the elixir.

"It's something good for you. Hurry up and eat it," Mu Yue explained.

Out of trust in Mu Yue, Might Guy directly swallowed the elixir.

The instant he swallowed it, Might Guy felt warmth spread through his body. A warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, sweeping away his fatigue and making him feel instantly energized.

"This must be one of those very expensive elixirs, right?" Might Guy guessed. The pill Mu Yue had given him was simply too miraculous. After taking it, he felt much lighter all over.

So-called elixirs were medicines with special effects, generally made from specific ingredients through special methods.

A relatively common and ordinary elixir was the Military Rations Pill, which could restore a certain amount of Chakra and was fairly cheap.

The more unique and powerful an elixir's effects were, the more expensive it was. Might Guy felt that the elixir he had just taken could not have been cheap.

"You've already eaten it, so don't think too much about it," Mu Yue said without giving Might Guy an answer.

He did not know how much the elixir cost either. The system had given it to him, and it was another question entirely whether Konoha even sold it. Besides, since Might Guy had asked, he probably already had a vague answer in his heart.

You gifted your disciple a Training Elixir. Because your disciple was deeply grateful, reward critical hit activated. Reward obtained: Eight Gates (First Three Gates)

A flood of memories about training the Eight Gates instantly appeared in Mu Yue's mind. He could feel that he was now able to open certain restrictions within his body.

Although he could only open the first three gates, Mu Yue was already satisfied. With the memories of the technique, he could continue training and open more gates.

However, Mu Yue would not continue practicing the Eight Gates. Spending that time elsewhere would bring greater returns.

Might Guy's Ninjutsu talent was merely average, but his taijutsu talent was not weak at all. After training for decades and opening the Gate of Death, Might Guy could severely wound Six Paths Madara, while Might Duy had not even managed to kill all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Opening only three gates was just right for him, because the first three gates were precisely the gates of the Eight Gates that placed the least strain on the body. Beyond the third gate, much greater physical strength was required.

"Teacher, I will definitely become the strongest!" Might Guy said through tears, deeply moved.

To let him eat such an expensive elixir without feeling burdened, Mu Yue had even refused to tell him what it was.

If he had not noticed it himself, Mu Yue might have even told him it was candy.

Mu Yue handed a cloth to the tearful Might Guy and smiled gently.

"You will become the strongest. I believe that."

Even without his help, Might Guy would have reached the pinnacle of taijutsu through his own efforts.

Mu Yue believed that the Might Guy of this world would only go even further.

His Trust Level should have increased quite a bit again. I wonder when a disciple with Trust Level Four will appear, Mu Yue thought as he watched Might Guy's departing back.

That day, Mu Yue did not go to the Main City Area to run into Minato and Kushina. Instead, he chose to stay in the Southern Forest.

It had been over a month since he had transmigrated. Although he had long considered casually developing the Rasengan, he had never had the time.

Recently, he had read many books about Sealing Jutsu and curse seals. He needed some time to absorb what he had learned, and he wanted to take the opportunity to develop the Rasengan during that time.

With the detailed process from the original work, coupled with his grasp of Form Transformation, developing the Rasengan would not be difficult for him.

His main purpose in developing the Rasengan was not to use it against enemies, but because it had other uses.
