Eight Inner Gates X Might Race

"Nii-san ~"

The sliding door was pushed open from the outside, and a head quietly peeked in.

"Shisui -nii..." Itachi looked up and greeted him. Uchiha Shisui smiled at Itachi, and Roy casually said, "Come in."

He ducked in and closed the door behind him.

"Speak, what is it?"

Shisui was a man of principle; he wouldn't come to the temple without a reason. Despite the hardships of being an orphan of war and the loss of both parents, he insisted on living alone, never troubling Uchiha Fugaku or the uncles in the village. Therefore, Roy rarely saw him rushing to his house for meals, and only glanced at him casually...

The Sun-Earring Boy, carrying a short sword, straightened his face and crept closer, whispering in my ear, "They've approached me again, Nii-san. What should I do?"

Danzo... Roy stretched lazily, yawning nonchalantly, "Just follow your heart. Join if you want, say what you want..."

"But he's already hinted to me that he wants to gather intelligence on Nii-san," Shisui said hesitantly, glancing cautiously at Roy. "I suspect they want to harm Nii-san."

"They wouldn't dare!" Itachi suddenly glared coldly at Shisui and said, "Anyone who hurts Nii-san, I'll kill them!"

"That's why I'm here," Shisui said solemnly, sitting up straight. "You don't need to lift a finger. Just say the word, Nii-san, and I'll go kill him!"

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind came, causing the bangs on the Sun-Earring Boy ' foreheads to sway...

It was summer, but the sudden burst of murderous intent chilled it considerably... Was it lucky or unlucky that [Root] and Danzo were both targeted by Itachi and Shisui?

In short, considering his willingness to conspire with Orochimaru to steal the Sharingan for Izanagi and to desecrate the heroic spirits of the Uchiha Clan, in the original story, his death at Sasuke's hands was truly... a just punishment.

"Shisui,"

"Itachi,"

Have you ever seen fireflies?

Roy rested his head on Weasel's knees, raised his right hand to his forehead, and looked through his fingers at the rising sun, its rays spreading across half the sky. He then changed the subject and asked about the two of them.

Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance, puzzled, and nodded.

"Now that you've seen them, do you think fireflies are brighter than the sun?"

"Not lit."

"That's it..." Roy pinched a ray of dawn between his fingers, smiled at the two, and said, "The sun won't care about the thoughts of a tiny firefly, just like Jester is a joke in the face of absolute power."

"Just let him jump."

Roy narrowed his eyes, then suddenly snapped the morning glow in two with force, saying calmly, "The higher you jump, the faster you die."

A tall shadow flickered faintly across the sliding door...

Then, Uchiha Fugaku's deep, steady voice rang out. "Dinner's ready."

Roy patted his bottom and stood up, ruffling Shisui and Itachi's heads with one hand each, saying, "You're here."

He reached out and opened the sliding door, then stepped out.

Itachi and Shisui exchanged a silent glance before following him. Soon, a simple yet nutritious breakfast was finished. As usual, Uchiha Fugaku was the first to get up, don his Jonin vest, and head to his shift at the Police Force. "Creak~" The door opened, and a man's brief voice drifted from the entrance. "The other party is the Hokage Assistant. Don't be careless."

Shisui and Itachi were slightly taken aback, and looked up at the entrance... The door Gate of Opening and closed, and Fugaku was no longer there.

"What are you looking at? Let's go..." Roy wiped his mouth and stood up expressionlessly... Itachi and Shisui, snapping out of their daze, quickly followed... The three of them set off for the Southern Forest as usual, heading straight for the training ground before parting ways. It was the weekend, and having promised Sarutobi Hiruzen to visit his residence and see the [Scroll of Sealing], Roy briefly instructed Itachi and Shisui before continuing his sword practice. He then glanced at the sun, stretched his limbs, and prepared to take a short run, like he did on Kukuroo Mountain, not wanting to arrive too early and seem presumptuous... He slowly began to traverse the Southern Forest...

"Tap... tap..." The footsteps echoed unhurriedly in the morning light...

A cool breeze whistled past his ears, causing the Sun-Earring Boy's thick, black hair to sway slightly.

At one point, on the edge of a neighboring village, in an area covered by Perception Barrier, Roy's gaze shifted, and he saw two people with watermelon-shaped haircuts, one big and one small, jogging and shouting as they went for a morning run around the Southern Forest...

The bright green training uniform he was wearing was incredibly conspicuous in the morning light and against the backdrop of sweat.

Roy quickened his pace to catch up. As he drew closer, he saw Might Duy Guy training with Might Guy. The Sun-Earring Boy smiled slightly at them, then, his feet whirling through the air, he brushed past them and disappeared into the depths of the Southern Forest ...

"Dear Sir, that guy's fast!" Might Guy paused slightly, barely managing to make out Roy's face in a quick glance, then excitedly shouted, "Hey~ wait for me!"

Then, with a sudden movement, his arm swung like a hurricane, and he rushed after Roy's retreating figure, leaving Might Duy alone in the distance, watching Kai and Roy from afar. He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming front teeth. "Youth... this is youth..."

"Kai, the Sun-Earring Boy whose name is unknown,"

"You know, even adults had their youthful days..."

Suddenly a gust of wind arose, Might Duy laughed heartily, stroking his thick, dark mustache as he flashed after him. "Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..." Visibly, three streaks of light, two green and one deep blue, raced each other along the edge of the lush Southern Forest!

Have they caught up?

The speed isn't slow...

Roy was running ahead, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him... Might Guy and Might Duy, their arms swinging and their feet moving like wheels of fire, were chasing after him with incredible speed... Their determined, all-out effort to win was quite a sight...

Roy's lips curled up, and two Great Sun silently rose within his pupils. The [Eye of Truth] appeared, piercing through the [Blood Qi]!

Two streams of information then appeared in his mind...

[Name: Might Guy]

[Species: Ninja]

[Constitution: C]

[Manifested Chakra: C-(54781/100,000) (Note: Approximately 0.4 calories)]

[Potential Chakra: B (700,000/1,000,000)]

[Rating: C]

[Name: Might Duy]

[Species: Ninja]

[Body type: C+]

[Manifested Chakra: C (74158/100,000) (Note: Approximately 0.6 calories)]

[Potential Chakra: C+ (85642/100,000)]

[Rating: C+]

Roy's eyes flickered, and he quickened his pace without making a sound.

Then, his abnormally high calorie intake of nearly 40 calories began to show, Sun-Earring Boy took a large step forward, then darted into the dense forest ahead at twice the previous speed...

In just a moment, they had distanced themselves from Might Guy and Might Dai behind them. It was visible to the naked eye that Might Guy and Might Dai paused, both stunned for a moment, and then, their blood boiling, they suddenly roared and sped up to catch up. Sparks could be faintly seen coming from the friction of their cloth shoes against the ground!

"Haha, Dad... this guy is fast!"

"Hey~ can you go any faster?"

As the Sun-Earring Boy the watermelon-shaped haircut sped along, his face flushed red with excitement!

"Hiss~" Sweat steamed from the top of his head, making him look like a blazing engine. With a "whoosh~", he twisted the accelerator and roared to catch up with Roy, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye!

"Can it go even faster?" Roy smiled faintly, his gaze passing over Might Guy and glancing at Might Duy was following leisurely behind Might Guy. The man was neither red-faced nor out of breath, moving with ease and composure, appearing far more relaxed Might Guy!

Indeed, he truly deserves to be called the creator of the Eight Inner Gates.

Roy recalled Might Duy's glorious achievements in the original work. Not long after, during the Third Battle on the front lines, he was besieged by Kirigakure. In order to save Might Guy, Shiranui Genma Ebisu, and Ebisu, he successfully covered their retreat. He didn't hesitate to open all Eight Gates and fight against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist, kicking four of them to death on the spot, turning the "Seven Swordsmen" into "Three Swordsmen"!

He truly deserves the title of "Konoha's most indomitable and great genin"!

Roy turned back to Might Guy Might Duy Day with a smug smile and said, "That depends on how fast you can run."

The man quickened his pace again, his speed instantly doubling. In the blink of an eye, he left trails of afterimages in the dense forest, exceeding the limits of what the eye could capture!

Might Guy was visibly taken aback for a moment, then Sun-Earring Boy eyes flashed with a sharp light, his Blood Qi surged like a tidal wave, and he couldn't help but roar, "Eight Inner Gates - First Gate - Gate of Opening... Open!"

Boom!

A powerful Chakra suddenly erupted from Might Guy's body, propelling him with a "whoosh" as he transformed into an arrow, piercing the air and madly chasing after Roy!

[Rating: C→C+]

"Pfft~" As the [Eye of Truth] trembled, it slowly transmitted the corrected data back into Roy's Roy. Chakra narrowed his eyes, faintly sensing a chakra behind him that was no less powerful than that of a ferocious beast. He moved his feet, quickening his pace once more, instantly doubling his speed. With a "whoosh~", he instantly distanced himself from Might Guy, who was about to catch up. Might Guy, already enraged, raised his thick eyebrows, unwilling to be outdone, and followed... Suddenly, he took a deep breath and roared, "Second Gate - Gate of Rest... Third Gate - Gate of Life... Open!"

One, two, three, the three gates opened in quick succession... Green Chakra enveloped the Sun-Earring Boy like a whirlwind...

Might Guy flared his nostrils, and two long plumes of steam billowed from them. He shifted his stance, his back straight as a bowstring, and in a split second, he launched himself forward again... This time, even Might Duy had been calmly following behind him, could no longer maintain his leisurely demeanor... He glanced at Guy and Roy from afar and gradually realized... something was wrong!

That child...

"Whose Sun-Earring Boy is he?"

"He looks younger than Kai, how come... his physical abilities are so exaggerated?"

No one knows a son better than his father. Might Duy knew perfectly well how fast and strong Guy was after opening all three gates. He was absolutely certain that Guy was incredibly powerful. But even so... just as Might Guy was about to get close to Roy again, Roy increased his speed once more, effortlessly leaving Might Guy far behind... Might Duy!

"Call out...

"Call out..

Two streaks of light flashed through the forest, one One Queen... Noticing Roy's speed increase again, Might Guy's eyes blazed with fury, thinking to himself, "Damn it! Still not working?"

He gritted his teeth, mustered all his strength, and decided to... push further, but unexpectedly, a large hand suddenly appeared from behind, reaching up and pressing him down. "Kai, stop!"

Might Duy one of the doors and caught up, slowly shaking his head at Might Guy, saying, "You're not familiar with the fourth door yet, don't rush in!"

Might Guy looked up ahead. Roy was like a streak of light, his speed seemingly endless. He slumped his head in dejection and shut down the acupoints within his body...

"Hiss... hiss..." Wisps of heat dissipated along with the Chakra swirling around his body...

Might Guy, panting heavily, supported his knees...

The Sun-Earring Boy's watermelon-shaped haircut, soaked with sweat, clung to his scalp and hung down, a forced, ugly smile on his face. He asked Might Duy, "Father, is this youth?"

Might Duy his fist and punched the Sun-Earring Boy on the shoulder. "Duh! This is youth, of course!"

The man encouraged the Sun-Earring Boy loudly, saying, "A youth without experiencing failure isn't a true youth, and you..."

"My child,"

"That's good enough!"

"That's right," Might Duy had barely finished speaking when a series of footsteps slowly approached the ears of the father and son...

Might Guy and Might Duy looked in the direction the sound came from... The Sun-Earring Boy, who had been flying away in the Southern Forest, turned around at some point, stepped out of the sunlight, and like a magician, broke the limitations of space and slowly landed in front of Might Guy. Instantly, the father and son stared wide-eyed in surprise!

"This is... the Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

Currently, "The Yellow Flash" has not yet become famous, but that doesn't mean Konoha is unaware of Namikaze Minato.

Especially Might Guy, who regarded Kakashi as both a lifelong rival and a close friend!

He even knew Namikaze Minato and was well aware of, or even witnessed firsthand, the terrifying nature of "Space-Time Ninjutsu talents" such as the "Flying Thunder God Technique"!

It's not just fast, it's... teleportation! It's a monstrous, forbidden technique that ignores space!

"Step..." With both feet firmly on the ground, Roy, his long black hair cascading over his shoulders, a faint smile playing on his lips, extended his right hand towards Might Guy and said, "Let's get acquainted."

"Uchiha Jin."

Might Guy paused, glancing at Roy from head to toe. He then noticed a faint pattern imprinted on the back of the dark blue stand-up collar shirt the boy was wearing—it was...

A red and white fan is also the symbol of the Uchiha Clan!
