Three Slashes, Hyuga's Green Beast!

The Eight Gates, an S-rank forbidden jutsu!

Each gate opened will remove a layer of the human body's limitations, granting the practitioner a unique effect.

Among them, the effects of the first three gates are--

Gate of Opening: Removes the brain's limitations to achieve 100% of the body's potential, overloading and consuming physical energy to boost offense and speed. Upon opening, "Front Lotus" can be used.

Gate of Healing: Removes physical fatigue limitations, overloading and squeezing the body's energy to recover stamina, offsetting the speed of energy consumption from opening the Gate of Opening.

Gate of Life: Further enhances offense and speed, the body begins to flush red, the last safe zone of the Eight Gates, the body begins to emit green energy. Upon opening, "Reverse Lotus" can be used.

After opening the first gate, Hyuga Yu felt his mind instantly clear. Immediately after, the blocked meridians that had always hindered him from refining more Chakra were completely opened!

However, this was not because the physical defects that had troubled him for years had disappeared.

On the contrary, this was the wail and alarm transmitted back by his body!

Physical energy and mental energy combined at an unprecedentedly fluid rate, transforming into the most basic unit of "stamina."

Then, this "stamina" was refined into a "massive amount" of Chakra that surged wildly through Hyuga Yu's meridians.

Hyuga Yu's Chakra levels soared, From level 2 to level 3, from level 3 to level 4, All the way to level 5!

Concurrently, a sense of fatigue, a consequence of the body's overloaded operation affecting the mind, arrived.

"Hiss... ha..."

Even with just the initial opening, Hyuga Yu felt an unbearable fatigue and drowsiness.

Despite his body having undergone prolonged and arduous training, it was still far from being ready to open the Eight Gates.

Using Medical Ninjutsu to forcibly open the Eight Gates at this time would only make the side effects more pronounced.

Hyuga Yu gritted his teeth, his Byakugan glaring, enduring the fatigue as he internally scanned himself. He estimated that he could maintain this state for about half an hour.

However, in this state, his attention and concentration would plummet, which was extremely fatal in a ninja's battle.

Therefore, With the second strike of his Chakra Scalpel, Hyuga Yu once again raised the faint blue blade in his hand, a ferocious expression on his face as he slashed at his own forehead!

The Gate of Opening is in the left brain, responsible for limiting the self's linear, sequential management of the body.

The second gate, the Gate of Healing, is in the right brain, responsible for limiting the self's non-linear, holistic, and emotional expression management, while also controlling part of the amygdala.

With one strike, he replicated the process, By severing and creating new meridians to deceive the brain and the forbidden jutsu's formula, he achieved the effect of forcibly opening the acupoints.

"Second Gate, Gate of Healing, Open!"

The second gate opened, All previous discomforts vanished. His brain operated with an extremely fast and clear logical thought process, somewhat similar to the development of brain power in "Limitless" from 10% to 20%-30%.

His physical functions, judgment, strength, speed, and cognitive abilities all saw significant improvements.

At this moment, Hyuga Yu couldn't help but marvel that anyone who could enable a Taijutsu ninja to fight in a berserk state with a clear mind, combining a ninja's agility with a berserker's brutality, was a genius.

However, even with this level of enhancement, It was still not enough for the opponent Hyuga Yu was about to face!

Therefore, Hyuga Yu brought down his third strike with a Chakra Scalpel that was on the verge of collapse.

"Third Gate, Gate of Life, Open!"

"BOOM!"

A green shockwave erupted from beneath Hyuga Yu's feet, causing his raven-black hair to flutter as if he were a demon!

"CRACK!"

The branches beneath his feet snapped, unable to bear Hyuga Yu's sudden increase in weight.

This was due to the characteristic of Chakra having weight. At this moment, after opening the third gate, green, high-density Chakra surged on the surface of Hyuga Yu's body. This high-density Chakra caused his weight to instantly soar to 500 kilograms!

In this state, every punch Hyuga Yu threw would inflict damage calculated in tons.

And the duration of this state was--

5 minutes!

"Hiss... hiss...!"

A white stream was forcefully exhaled from his nostrils, Hyuga Yu's eyes snapped open, his Byakugan flaring as he looked towards the east with a ferocious glare.

Then, He gripped the hilt of the Ninja Sword gifted to him by Hyuga Natsu, stomped his foot on the ground, "Bang!"

The ground cracked, dust exploded, Like a bullet, Hyuga Yu's speed instantly broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom as he shot out like a ferocious green beast!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Each step covered hundreds of meters, each step bringing him closer to the battlefield awaiting him!

Meanwhile, on the east side of the nameless forest, Hyuga Natsu's expression sank slightly as she looked at Ao of the Mist and another Jonin blocking her path.

She was absolutely certain that Hyuga Yu was on his way right now.

Her original plan was to use Hyuga Genko's idiotic ninja experience to create an accident and kill him before Hyuga Yu arrived, taking his Byakugan.

Finally, as a belated Valentine's Day gift this year, for her Lion-kun.

But now...

Just as she was about to execute this step, she encountered a small, unexpected problem.

Ao of the Mist.

This man was a newly promoted Jonin in Kirigakure, highly valued by Elder Genji of Kirigakure. He had been parachuted in to lead the Kirigakure Reconnaissance Unit.

However, his specialty wasn't reconnaissance or sensing, but Taijutsu and Water Release. What made him even more famous was his cunning, fox-like ninja style.

Hyuga Genko's disguise left behind had completely failed to fool the opponent, instead adding variables to their escape.

And upon seeing these two, Hyuga Genko's expression, which had been filled with sweet nothings just moments ago, froze. He stiffly turned his head towards Hyuga Natsu, A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes!

"Natsu... you, you'll protect me, right?"

He asked, his hand hidden in his sleeve, ready to form hand seals at any moment.

Seeing this, Hyuga Natsu's smile faltered. Then, she dropped her smile, her face grave as she whispered, "Don't worry,"

"Young Master Genko, I will protect you. You run in that direction, that's the way back to Konoha."

As she spoke, Hyuga Natsu pointed Hyuga Genko in a direction and quietly thought to herself:

"I'll hold off the sensing ninja. This blue-haired one doesn't have sensing abilities, so don't be afraid even if he pursues you. You yourself have Jonin-level strength. As long as you get out of the sensing ninja's range, you'll be able to return home safely."

"Is... is that so?"

Hyuga Genko let out a dry, forced laugh, his gaze sweeping over the mocking faces of the two people blocking their path.

The next instant, He raised his hands and quickly formed the Ram-Dog-Unicorn seals.

"Bang!"

A massive cloud of smoke generated by Chakra erupted.

In the smoke, two Hyuga Natsu's actually appeared in the original spot!

The "Hyuga Natsu" that Hyuga Genko had transformed into suddenly moved close to Hyuga Natsu, her hands still forming the Unicorn seal for the Caged Bird jutsu.

The final seal for Transformation Jutsu and the seal for Caged Bird were the same.

He spoke in a sinister, cold, and utterly stripped-bare, sharp, and high-pitched voice, threatening, "Now, you immediately run the other way, or I'll take your life!"

"You--"
