"So powerful!" Shiyu and Kai were seeing Dai open the Gate of Wonder for the first time. The energy that Dai was exuding was incredibly strong!
That wisp of blue sweat vapor was so exaggerated it was unbelievable; it even blew Shiyu and Kai away.
Shiyu and Kai both looked completely dumbfounded.
What is clearly visible in the eye is that, except for the heart, all the doors from the brain to the lower abdomen have been opened.
"The Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf of Konoha is so powerful! At this level, it can create air blasts using only Taijutsu. Even Kisame was instantly killed by this move, and Madara's Susanoo was suppressed at that time."
"Alright! Deactivate!" Might Duy immediately closed the Seventh Gate, panting heavily. He hadn't even moved; he had only demonstrated the Seventh Gate for a few seconds and was already so exhausted. One could imagine how overwhelming it would be to actually open the first Seventh Gate and fight the enemy.
"These are the first Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates. If you want to learn the Eight Inner Gates, then starting today, we need to do a lot of physical training every day. This is the prerequisite for learning the Eight Inner Gates. Don't be impatient, or you will harm yourself. Can you promise me this first?" Might Duy asked Shigure, Shiyu.
"No problem, I don't want to die right after opening the Eight Inner Gates either." Shiyu agreed to Might Duy's request.
"So, you still haven't explained what waterfall training is," Shiyu pressed.
"Yes, besides physical training, the most important thing is mental training. Only by combining a healthy and strong physique with a determined mind can one learn the Eight Inner Gates."
"Come on! Come to the waterfall." Might Duy left the secret base and led Shiyu to the foot of the waterfall.
"You have to sit under the waterfall and get soaked until dark. Try it," Might Duy said, pointing to the waterfall.
Shiyu pointed to a stone platform there and asked, "Is it there?"
"Yes, let's persevere together with Kai."
Then Kai and Shiyu came to the platform and sat cross-legged, with water from the waterfall pouring directly onto Shiyu.
Since the waterfall wasn't very big, the two of them were only soaked in the water at first, but later they could feel the coldness of the waterfall water.
"I can't take it anymore"
It's so cold.
"Is this what cultivating the mind is?"
"Shiyu, as long as you have no distracting thoughts and don't dwell on the coldness of the waterfall, it won't feel so cold." Might Duy also sat down under the waterfall, looking completely at ease, as if the icy waterfall had no effect on him whatsoever.
" At this Shiyu was also making things difficult; how could one not think about this icy feeling?"
Might Guy was also shivering from the cold, and seemed to have failed to complete the training as well.
"It seems you're still far from perfect, but that's alright. Here's what you'll do: Tenten, collect all the pebbles from the pool and bring them to the shore. Once there aren't a single pebble left in this little pool, you can start focusing on waterfall training," Might Duy said.
"Oh, right, you can't use any Ninjutsu or any clever tricks. You have to pick them up purely by hand, one at a time, and you can't just throw them away. Not only do you have to make sure there are no pebbles in the pool, but you also have to use the pebbles you collect to spell out the word 'perseverance' on the bank!"
Both Might Guy and Shiyu were taken aback.
"What!?"
"This little pond is full of pebbles! Even if you collected hundreds or thousands every day, who knows how long it would take to build up the word 'perseverance'?"
"Moreover, you can only pick up one at a time."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Might Guy and Shiyu were both very resistant.
"Don't you all want to become strong? You want to master the Eight Gates Released Formation! Physical training and willpower training are essential! Besides, Konoha is very stable right now, which is definitely a good time to train! Just focus on your training! Don't worry about anything else!" Might Duy explained.
Shiyu moment, and finally nodded.
"Okay! Sorry! That was my mistake! From today onwards, I will train twice as hard!" Might Guy cheered himself up again, as if his confidence and determination had returned.
"By the way, starting tomorrow, you'll all be wearing very heavy leg wraps on your calves. This will give you a greater boost!" Might Duy said.
Okay. Got it.
From that day on, Shigure calmed down and began training with Might Guy and his son, Might Guy, in the Eight Gates Formation.
During the day, there were still various kinds of physical training. After waking up in the afternoon, we did missions, and after finishing the missions, we went to the pond next to the secret base to collect stones.
Time flies like water. During this time, Shiyu has been training in the Eight Inner Gates.
However, wars continued to break out in the Shinobi World, except for the fact that no large-scale battles broke out between Konoha and Sunagakure, and between Konoha and Iwagakure.
Rasa, a hero of Sunagakure, relied on Magnet Release and united with Sunagakure to repel the invasion of Kumogakure. He was highly regarded in the village and was said to be preparing to succeed as Kazekage.
Meanwhile, the Kirigakure Village remained stagnant, seemingly brewing something, while the Kumogakure Village began to stir, taking little action other than attacking several small countries.
For some reason, the entire Shinobi World fell silent.
At the foot of a waterfall near Konoha, a man sat motionless beneath it, like a stone, seemingly unaffected by the force and coldness of the waterfall.
"Shiyu Ryu - Draw Your Sword to Cut the Water!" The boy suddenly sprang to life, drawing his sword from his waist and thrusting it backward, splitting the waterfall into two parts. He quickly spun the sword around, knocking a drop of water that had gathered on it onto a rock on the bank.
"Bang!"
The rocks on the shore were split in two.
"Even a drop of water can wear away gold and break stone. This is the last stone we'll use today. Beneath the waterfall, I can't feel a trace of coldness. The Eight Inner Gates have been mastered! We've finally succeeded!"
His pure white hair had grown quite a bit, becoming shoulder-length, and he had also grown much taller. His muscles had become more well-proportioned, and he wore a domineering suit of armor and Six Paths robe. It has to be said that the boy in front of him looked somewhat like Six Paths Madara.
That's right! He is Shiyu. Two years have passed, and even Shiyu himself didn't expect that two years would pass so quickly.
Just then, a sound came from nearby.
"My God! Shiyu! You're not kidding, are you?! You've completed so many D-rank missions!? You didn't even do any endurance training."
"My God!! You've completely surpassed me! I've actually been surpassed by someone who came after me! This is the strongest opponent I've ever faced!"
The speaker was naturally Guy, who had trained with Shiyu for two years and was already able to open the sixth gate of Guy's Eight Inner Gates!
"Kai, I think I should leave. It's been two years."
