Konoha's Final Barrier!

The Scroll of Seals of Konoha is famous, and Gong Yi had looked up relevant information about it in his previous life.

However, having transmigrated here, this was his first time coming into contact with it.

As he browsed through, he was shocked to discover that the Ninjutsu recorded within were not limited to just the few that were publicly known.

Beyond the familiar Flying Thunder God, Shadow Clone Technique, and Impure World Reincarnation, there were many unknown Ninjutsu.

But as the Third Hokage had said, they were extremely difficult to master and could even cause massive backlash to the user, so very few people practiced them.

Naturally, over time, many of these Ninjutsu became forbidden techniques, unknown to the public.

Just like the two Ninjutsu Gong Yi had just seen, which required specific Kekkei Genkai to perform; it was no wonder they were not revealed to the world.

It was precisely because it contained so many high-level Ninjutsu and forbidden techniques that it could be compiled into a scroll.

If it only contained a few Ninjutsu, it wouldn't be worthy of being called the Scroll of Seals.

If possible, Gong Yi would certainly have chosen Impure World Reincarnation.

However, the Third Hokage would definitely not agree to let him practice this technique, and might even grow suspicious of him.

Settling for the next best thing, Gong Yi had to set his sights on other Ninjutsu.

The Flying Thunder God is an essential Ninjutsu for home, travel, murder, and looting!

Unfortunately, the talent requirements for space-time Ninjutsu were too high; it was simply impossible to learn it directly.

Even Minato Namikaze had only mastered it by combining Shurikenjutsu, the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan, and his own superb space-time talent.

Gong Yi had no research into sealing techniques, so he abandoned this option.

In the end, he set his target on the Eight Inner Gates.

The power of the Eight Inner Gates is beyond doubt; those who know, know.

And its existence was naturally not created by Might Duy, the father of Might Guy, as rumored.

In fact, this Ninjutsu had already appeared during the Warring States period.

When Uchiha Madara was resurrected via Impure World Reincarnation and saw Might Guy open the final gate, he gave a relevant assessment, from which one could tell that this Ninjutsu had appeared in the Warring States period.

Thus, it was only natural that Konoha could collect this Ninjutsu.

Seeing that Gong Yi had made his choice, the Third Hokage prepared to undo the seal and let him record the corresponding training knowledge.

However, upon hearing the words "Eight Inner Gates," he hesitated.

"Gong Yi, you have seen the consequences of learning this Ninjutsu. Are you sure you want to practice the Eight Inner Gates?"

Gong Yi nodded. "I am sure! My chakra reserves are too low to make significant progress in Ninjutsu training. The Eight Inner Gates is very suitable for me!"

"Your body won't be able to withstand it!"

"Lord Hokage, please trust me! At the academy, I am the most diligent one when it comes to physical training, even more so than Might Guy. I have the confidence to master this technique."

Gong Yi paused, then said earnestly, "If the village faces a powerful enemy in the future that no one can resist, I will choose to open the final gate, unleash power beyond a Kage, and protect the village!"

The Third Hokage stared fixedly at Gong Yi, as if trying to see through him completely.

He knew the power of the Eight Inner Gates; opening all eight gates grants power beyond the Kage level. Although it had never been verified, the rumors suggested it wouldn't be weak.

Even if it didn't exceed the Kage level, it would at least be equal to it.

If Gong Yi truly had such determination to defend the village to the death, then handing this Ninjutsu over to him would be worth it.

"I hope you will become the village's final barrier!"

"As you wish, Lord Hokage!"

The Third Hokage no longer hesitated, undoing the seal on the relevant Ninjutsu and allowing Gong Yi to begin memorizing the training knowledge for the Eight Inner Gates.

Opening, Rest, Life, Pain, Closing, View, Wonder, Death!

These are the eight gates!

They exist within every person's body, suppressing the flow of chakra.

The human body is a very fragile thing, and chakra is a double-edged sword that can hurt the enemy but also hurt oneself.

Therefore, the existence of the eight gates effectively suppresses the flow of chakra that exceeds one's own capacity, preventing the body from being injured.

In a sense, this is a human instinct.

And the Eight Inner Gates, this high-level Taijutsu, teaches a ninja how to open the eight gates as safely as possible to mobilize chakra far beyond their own limits!

However, saying that, it might seem that with this Taijutsu, anyone could practice the Eight Inner Gates and become a master of Taijutsu.

In reality, it is not that simple.

Once one obtains chakra far beyond their normal state, the body is completely unable to cope.

The moment the massive chakra flows through the body, the meridians, organs, and viscera might all be destroyed in an instant!

Therefore, if one wants to fight without pressure after opening the eight gates and not die on the spot after the technique ends, a strong physical capacity is absolutely essential.

Unconventional, overloaded, and limit-breaking long-term training.

Only in this way can one train the various parts and organs of the body to adapt to the load borne after opening the gates, minimizing the damage caused by the immense energy to the body.

Gong Yi took a deep breath. He met every single one of these requirements!

Four consecutive years of fundamental training, completing the Undying Xiaoqiang mission, and the terrifying pressure of eleven-fold gravity—his physique could only be described as monstrous!

Aside from certain ninjas who utilized secret arts to stimulate cellular activity, Gong Yi believed that few could keep up with him once he released the Gravity Technique.

Kazama Heitetsu, an elite jonin, being defeated by his taijutsu in an instant was a living example of this!

"Since I have already met the requirements, I might as well try it right now and open the first gate!"

"Space Gate! Open!"
