After matters in the Land of Whirlpools had come to a close, Uchiha Ying Yue returned to Konoha. He realized that ordinary ninjutsu might not be enough to deal with threats from beyond the heavens that could appear in the future—especially the powerful Otsutsuki Clan.
He knew that the Otsutsuki Clan could absorb ninjutsu, which meant relying solely on ninjutsu would not be enough to face the challenges ahead.
Therefore, Uchiha Ying Yue decided to focus on improving his taijutsu, especially by strengthening his training in the Eight Inner Gates.
The Eight Inner Gates was a powerful taijutsu technique that could unleash power beyond Kage Level when the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, was opened.
The price was the user's life, but against an unbeatable enemy, it might be their final trump card.
Previously, because he had been caught up in the war and various other affairs, Uchiha Ying Yue's taijutsu training had stalled at the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View. He had made no further breakthroughs.
To improve his mastery of the Eight Inner Gates, Uchiha Ying Yue decided to seek guidance from Konoha's taijutsu masters, Might Gang and his son, Might Duy.
Might Gang was one of the strongest taijutsu shinobi in Konoha, and his son, Might Duy, had inherited his father's talent. He had mastered the Eight Inner Gates, becoming one of the few shinobi capable of opening the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death.
When Uchiha Ying Yue arrived at the home of Might Gang and his son, he found the two of them engaged in their daily taijutsu training.
The training was simple and grueling, but Uchiha Ying Yue could sense their deep taijutsu expertise and the explosive force behind each of their movements.
"Lord Ying Yue, what brings you here?" Might Duy
