Eight Inner Gates

Uchiha Ying Yue stepped closer to observe their training, discovering that this father and son duo seemed to rely not on chakra, but on the pure power of taijutsu.

Uchiha felt he might have encountered Might Dai, so he took the initiative to step forward and greet them.

"Hello, I am Uchiha Ying Yue," Ying Yue said politely. "May I ask what kind of taijutsu training you are performing? It looks very unique."

The father looked up, glanced at Uchiha Ying Yue, and then offered a friendly smile: "Hello, I am Might Gang, and this is my son, Might Dai."

Might Gang's voice carried a sense of firm conviction; Uchiha Ying Yue could feel this ninja's passion for taijutsu.

Might Dai introduced himself: "My goal is to become the strongest taijutsu ninja! Although I am not strong yet, I am training hard every day!"

Might Dai was the future father of Might Guy. The Might family's iconic green spandex, along with their constant shouts of youth, passion, and burning spirit, made them easy to notice. As their interactions deepened, Uchiha Ying Yue gradually learned about the Might family background.

Might Gang was originally an outstanding Konoha jonin, especially skilled in taijutsu and the Eight Inner Gates.

In his youth, he had frequently opened the Eight Inner Gates to fight, but due to the immense burden the technique placed on his body, he became riddled with injuries and was eventually forced to retire.

Despite this, Might Gang did not give up his pursuit of taijutsu. He passed all his experience on to his son, Might Dai, hoping that Dai would inherit the family's taijutsu legacy and become an exceptional ninja.

Uchiha Ying Yue was deeply impressed by Might Gang's passion for taijutsu. He asked Might Gang for advice on training techniques and began practicing taijutsu alongside Might Dai.

During training, Uchiha Ying Yue discovered that the Might family's taijutsu was unique, focusing on explosive power and endurance. In particular, the theory of the Eight Inner Gates taught by Might Gang opened Uchiha Ying Yue's eyes.

"The Eight Inner Gates is an extremely dangerous form of taijutsu," Might Gang said sternly. "It can greatly increase a ninja's power in a short time, but the burden on the body is immense. Unless it is a last resort, it must never be opened lightly."

Uchiha Ying Yue felt the weight of the danger and potential of the Eight Inner Gates. He decided to train with the Might father and son to improve his own close-quarters combat abilities.

During the training and sparring sessions with the Might family, Uchiha Ying Yue gradually displayed his [Ninja World Dance King] ability.

In a sparring match against Might Dai, Uchiha Ying Yue's performance completely shocked Might Gang.

Uchiha Ying Yue's dynamic vision, reaction speed, and physical coordination had reached an astonishing level. Every movement was as fluid as flowing water, as if he could foresee every move his opponent would make.

In Uchiha Ying Yue, Might Gang saw another extreme of taijutsu cultivation—a fighting style unrelated to chakra control, relying purely on physical instinct and reaction. Every move was executed to perfection by Uchiha Ying Yue, leaving Might Gang in awe of his genius.

After the sparring ended, Might Gang stood to the side, panting slightly, but he was filled more with wonder at Uchiha Ying Yue. Although he was already a jonin-level taijutsu expert, facing Uchiha Ying Yue made him feel as if he were witnessing the rise of a taijutsu prodigy.

Might Gang sighed with emotion: "Uchiha Ying Yue, your talent for taijutsu is simply unbelievable. Your reaction speed and body control have far exceeded the level of an ordinary ninja; even I, in my youth, could not compare to you."

Uchiha Ying Yue responded modestly: "Senior Might Gang, I am merely relying on some combat instincts. There is still a long road ahead for true taijutsu cultivation."

Hearing Ying Yue's humility, a sense of appreciation for his talent grew in Might Gang's heart.

"Ying Yue," Might Gang said earnestly, "your talent should not be buried. I am willing to teach you the essence of our family's taijutsu, including the basics of the Eight Inner Gates. As long as you are willing, I will teach you without reservation."

Uchiha Ying Yue felt a jolt in his heart. He knew that in the original story, the Eight Inner Gates was an incredibly powerful taijutsu skill, but also a very dangerous one.

Opening the Gate of Death allowed one to fight on par with Six Paths-level beings. Might Guy's "Night Guy" had shattered half of Madara's body; had it hit his head, the story might have ended right there.

That Might Gang was willing to pass this technique to him was not just because of his talent, but because Might Gang felt that Ying Yue could carry the Eight Inner Gates to new heights.

Uchiha Ying Yue nodded solemnly: "Senior Might Gang, I am very willing to learn the Eight Inner Gates. I hope to go further on the path of taijutsu and become a stronger ninja."

Might Gang took Uchiha Ying Yue to a secluded training ground. The air was fresh and the environment quiet—an ideal place for cultivation.

Might Gang began to explain the principles and applications of the Eight Inner Gates to Ying Yue in detail.

"The Eight Inner Gates is a form of taijutsu that completely unleashes the potential of the human body," Might Gang said. "The flow of chakra in the human body is restricted by eight 'gates.' Under normal circumstances, these 'gates' exist to protect the body from harm. However, through special taijutsu training, one can temporarily open these 'gates' to release immense power. But the more 'gates' that are opened, the greater the burden on the body, which can even lead to severe injury or death."

Uchiha Ying Yue listened intently. Might Gang was teaching him this skill out of great trust and expectation.

Might Gang continued: "My body was damaged because I used the Eight Inner Gates too frequently in my youth, so now I can only teach and guide. Ying Yue, I hope you will remain cautious when practicing the Eight Inner Gates and only use it when absolutely necessary."

Uchiha Ying Yue expressed his gratitude: "Senior Might Gang, I will definitely practice with caution and will not use the Eight Inner Gates lightly. But I will also do my best to learn it and make it a part of my strength."

From that day on, Uchiha Ying Yue officially began his training in the Eight Inner Gates.

Under Might Gang's guidance, he gradually became familiar with the methods of opening the gates.

In every training session, Uchiha Ying Yue gave his all, while Might Gang stood by to provide patient guidance, helping him correct every detail.

As Uchiha Ying Yue's relationship with Might Gang and Might Dai deepened, he gradually became aware of Might Gang's predicament.

Although Might Gang was an experienced Konoha jonin, his body had suffered severe internal injuries from frequent use of the Eight Inner Gates in his youth, forcing him to retire early.

Without a stable source of income, the Might family's financial situation gradually deteriorated, which had a significant impact on Might Dai's growth and the development of his potential.

Uchiha Ying Yue noticed that although the Might family's training was exceptionally grueling, they were stretched thin in certain details.

For example, the medicinal baths required for taijutsu training—which should have been taken regularly to repair internal injuries and strengthen the physique—were no longer affordable for the Might family due to financial constraints.

Despite Might Dai's extraordinary talent, his potential could not be fully developed without the necessary resources.
