Because Xing Ran's throwing technique had previously been nearly perfect, practice was merely a way to stay sharp. Thanks to basking in the sun, his strength was constantly recovering and growing, albeit slowly. To avoid becoming unaccustomed to his increasing power, he kept up this daily training.
But training changed after opening the Gates. There was no longer any point in practicing technique. Simply practicing accuracy was utterly meaningless for someone with super vision and terrifying neural reflexes. Hitting every shot was the bare minimum. So what came next?
Shuriken Throwing Art was an extremely versatile ability, and the Eight Gates' enhancement effect was also incredibly powerful. Both abilities were excellent, but when combined, ordinary people found it difficult to bring out their chemical reaction, like Might Guy and Rock Lee.
It was like a heavy torpedo on a nuclear submarine. A good thing, right? And a tank, king of land warfare, was also a good thing. But mounting a torpedo onto a tank would be idiotic.
After practicing Shuriken Throwing Art while in the First Gate these past few days, Xing Ran had come up with a fairly reliable idea. It was a combat method tailored specifically for himself.

Slow and inexperienced Genin could usually only await slaughter. Even the stronger
