Kakashi After Losing His Sharingan

Then he changed the subject. "However, if your master had really gone all out just now, my teacher might have actually died here."

"Call..."

Kai took a deep breath, and when he looked at Moke again, his eyes were different once more.

Previously, he had simply placed Moke on an equal footing. But now, he regarded Moke as a stronger opponent, and thus his attitude held a greater degree of awe for such a powerful individual. "Although I know I'm probably no match for you, it would be truly unwilling to lose like this. After all, there's no one in the entire Shinobi World with a taijutsu master like you... I don't want to miss such an opportunity."

Moke couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, recalling the days when he wasn't strong enough in One Piece.

He too had a strong desire to duel with a powerful opponent, so he said, "Go ahead and use your skills! Don't worry about hurting me..."

"Open the Gate of Pain..."

Gate of Pain: Further enhances attack and speed, the body begins to suffer damage, entering the danger zone of the Eight Gates, truly entering the state of the Eight Gates.

"The Gate of Closing closed, but it's open..."

Gate of Closing: The speed is enough that when moving, it can even lift the ground by moving the air.

"The Gate of View opens..."

The Gate of View: Allows you to enter a semi-open buffer state, maintaining the green energy emitted after Gate of Opening but without any physical changes, thus reducing your own consumption load and damage. When needed, you can instantly unleash your full combat power.

Once activated, [Morning Peacock] can be used.

This can be considered the beginning of the Eight Gates where true power comparable to Kage-level was unleashed.

At this moment, Kai had already opened the sixth gate. Because he was about to use his Kage-level strength to have a head-on confrontation with Moke.

But he still has a seventh and Eight Gates he can open.

Gate of Shock: The last gate before Gate of Death. The body begins to emit blue steam generated from evaporating sweat. After the gate is closed, even the slightest touch will cause excruciating pain, and a single punch can severely injure an enemy. However, when the gate is closed and reopened, the pain will temporarily disappear and will not affect combat. After opening, [Day Tiger] can be used.

The Gate of Death: The ultimate gate that guarantees death upon use. When Eight Gates are opened, it is called the [Eight Gates Formation]. The body begins to emit red steam generated by the evaporation of blood, possessing power dozens of times greater than that of the Five Kage. It can use air cannon-like attacks to strike the air or move through the air. It can be used continuously for a short period until death, or it can consume all life force to release a power that is enough to distort space with the energy fluctuations generated even in the prelude to the attack. After it ends, the user loses consciousness, and the body collapses like a charred tree, starting from the most severely damaged parts.

Once activated, [Evening Elephant] and [Night Guy] can be used.

However, this isn't a fight to the death. The Eight Gates will absolutely not be opened, and even the seventh gate is unnecessary. After all, opening it would have too many side effects.

Unlike the sixth gate, the Gate of View, it has already been brought under control.

"Boom..."

With a powerful stomp, the ground shattered, and he charged straight at Moke. Wherever he passed, the ground crumbled. This demonstrated just how formidable he was.

"The Morning Peacock!"

Immediately, Kai unleashed a powerful punch, his chakra transforming into a Kujaku that hurtled towards Moke at incredible speed, making it impossible for anyone to dodge.

Upon seeing this, Moke narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, in his current state, Kai's single-target attack power is already close to that of Admiral.

Before his power was sealed, such an attack would have been nothing special.

Now!

We need to get more serious.

"Rock Lee, watch closely, this is the Tempest Kick' from the Six Powers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Moke suddenly swung his leg out, unleashing a terrifying Tempest Kick Slash cleaved the ground in two.

"Rumble..."

Finally, their attacks collided violently in mid-air.

After a brief stalemate, they exploded. The terrifying power created a Shockwave that swept outwards in all directions.

"Hiss..."

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present, including Neji, Tenten, Naruto, Rock Lee, and Hiashi, Hiashi.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Is Kai's Morning Peacock strong?

Strong, very strong.

Even Kage-level expert would have to temporarily avoid this level of power. Yet, this guy in front of us, with a casual flick of his leg, was able to unleash such a terrifying attack.

That's unbelievable.

Six Powers!

What level of physical skill is that?!

Shave, Shigan, Iron Strike, and this Tempest Kick Slash. It's truly a martial art that combines movement, defense, close combat, and ranged attacks. Most importantly, it's a martial art with virtually no side effects.

Kai had already stopped at this point.

They even closed six doors.

Because he knew there was no point in continuing the fight. The two were simply not on the same level... unless he directly opened Eight Gates for a death match.

Otherwise, he would have absolutely no chance or possibility of winning.

He was a man who could take things in stride, and he said to Moke, "I lost... just as they said. I'm no longer the strongest taijutsu master in Konoha. But I'm glad that someone like you exists. This... gives me a goal and motivation to move forward."

"Teacher Kaido actually lost..."

Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee exchanged glances, having already prepared themselves mentally during their previous battles.

Their Teacher Kaido, is probably no match for this guy.

But I never expected that we would lose so completely.

A figure of Kage-level.

The three of them immediately had a role model in mind. And the more they did, the more excited they became!

In other words, they were training under the guidance of a Kage-level expert.

Especially Rock Lee... he's taken a Kage-level powerhouse as his master!

This is truly enviable!

It's estimated that after today, Rock Lee's status in Konoha will undergo a dramatic change. He will become the object of everyone's envy and flattery.

Moke, however, looked at Hyuga Hiashi and smiled, "Please..."

Hiashi this moment, Hiashi's attitude towards Moke had completely changed. When he first arrived, he still carried the arrogance of the Hyuga Clan. But now, all he felt was awe for a strong person.

He first bowed to Moke.

Then he took a deep breath. "After watching your fight with Kai, I understand that I am no match for you. But I still want to know how big the gap is between us."

"Byakugan!"

Hyuga Hiashi immediately activated his Byakugan, then propelled himself forward with a powerful kick, charging directly towards Moke.

Although he knew that facing a powerhouse like Moke was the most foolish choice, as a fellow expert in physical combat, he only wanted to have a proper fight with someone like Moke.

Chakra enveloped his hands, and he unleashed palm strike after palm strike towards Moke.

It must be said, he truly lives up to his title as the head of the Hyuga Clan. His attacks are fast, fierce, and even somewhat insidious... Anyone who is even slightly grazed by his attacks will suffer serious consequences.

However, Moke was like a leaf falling from a tree.

No matter how he attacked, he couldn't even touch the Kakuzu of Moke's clothes.

Moke then said, "Rock Lee, this is the Paper Drawing from the Six Powers. It can be used to dodge attacks..."

"Ah!"

Whether it's Guy, Rock Lee, Neji, Tenten, Naruto, especially Guy and Neji, one is a taijutsu master in Konoha and knows Hiashi's strength all too well.

Unexpectedly, this guy in front of me didn't fight back or defend; he simply dodged.

It's unbelievable that they could make all of Hiashi's attacks miss.

Although the Hiashi hadn't yet gone all out at this point, it was already incredibly astonishing.

"How is that possible?"

As a member of the Hyuga Clan, Joji was filled with shock and disbelief. Only those who possess the Byakugan could truly understand its power.

But now...

He began to have a slight doubt about the Byakugan he was receiving.

Hyuga Hiashi, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm, as if he had anticipated this outcome. His attacks then became even more swift and fierce.

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms..."

One palm strike, two palm strikes, three palm strikes...

Hyuga Hiashi this moment, Hiashi Hyuga unleashed one palm strike after another, each more ferocious than the last. But Moke was like a leaf in the air, each attack hitting its mark.

It was like a leaf in the air, as if the attack hadn't even arrived before being pushed away by the force of the palm strike.

It never managed to hit them.

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi's expression became increasingly solemn.

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms..."

Thirty-two palm strikes were quickly completed, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued his attack...

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms..."

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms..."

The final few strikes were definitely among the most terrifying in the Hyūga Gentle Fist. This Gentle Fist: Bagua technique gets faster and faster as the attacks progress, and its power increases towards the end.

"Call..."

While attacking, Hiashi took a deep breath.

He adjusted himself slightly, and then launched another attack...

"Gentle Fist - Eight Trigrams Two Hundred and Fifty-Six Palms..."

This was already the highest level he had reached in the Gentle Fist. If this still couldn't defeat the guy in front of him, then he would have no choice but to abandon the Gentle Fist and switch to other attack methods.

Moke narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.

At this moment, he could sense that when the Gentle Fist broke through 128, its power was already ten times that of the original.

It has to be said.

The Hyūga family, specializing in taijutsu, are indeed extraordinary.

If this were to reach the power of 256 palm strikes, it would be approaching the Kage-level. No, it might have already reached the Kage-level.

"That's amazing..."

Mo You couldn't help but utter a word of praise.

"Shave!"

The next second, Moke vanished from his spot, reappearing twenty meters away. With a light leap, he disappeared amidst the astonished expressions of the crowd.

They stood on their feet in mid-air, then stopped.

"This..."

Everyone was shocked once again.

Moke: "This is Geppo, one of the Six Powers. It allows you to move freely in the air. This is all of the Six Powers... Shave, Tempest Kick, Geppo, Shigan, Tekkai, and Paper Drawing. Shave is the easiest, Shigan is slightly more difficult. Tempest Kick, Geppo, and Tekkai are even more difficult. As for Paper Drawing... it is the most difficult."

Moreover, these Six Powers are merely the most basic among the Six Powers. Once you have mastered Six Powers, you can develop your own unique derivative moves based on your own ideas."

"For example... this move! Flying Finger Pistol - Pull!"

Moke flicked his finger, and a shot burst forth, heading towards Hyuga Hiashi on the ground.

"Eight Trigrams Air Palm!"

This technique, using compressed air to strike the enemy, is a secret high-speed palm strike Hyuga clan. Aiming at the enemy's vital points, it releases a super-fast palm technique. The vacuum cannon, compressed and containing the Gentle Fist, pierces through the enemy's vital points with fierce pressure, compensating for weaknesses in physical techniques and fully unleashing close and mid-range attacks.

However, this time, he used this move to block Moke's attack.

"Rumble..."

The attacks from both sides collided fiercely in mid-air.

At that very moment, Moke, in mid-air, fired Hiashi of shots at Hiashi.

"Swish swish..."

Spear Wave erupted, Hiashi. Hiashi's expression changed again, and then he adopted a strange posture.

"Eight Trigrams Palm: Heavenly Rotation!"

This is also a secret technique of the Hyuga Clan.

A taijutsu technique in which all the chakra points in the body release a large amount of chakra to counter the enemy, while simultaneously rotating the body to deflect the attack back.

This was originally a secret technique passed down orally within the Hyuga Main House, but Neji Hyuga, a member of the branch family, developed it on his own.

Like Gaara's Sand, the Rotation is also Absolute Defense.

For Neji, the existence of the Rotation also compensates for the Byakugan's blind spot—directly behind Neji's first thoracic vertebra, there is a radiating blind spot. This is also the Achilles' heel of everyone in the Hyūga branch family.

However, while knowing this is one thing, very few people can actually grasp this weakness and succeed in doing so.

After all, this would require completely suppressing the Hyuga clan, forcing them to constantly use the Rotation for defense. However, Hiashi is the head of the main branch of the Hyuga Clan.

How could his "Rotation have a fatal flaw? Moreover, in his hands, the "Rotation" technique is even more powerful.

He blocked all of Moke's attempts to steal the ball.

At the same time, Moke returned to the ground. He turned to look at Rock Lee and said, "That move just now was called 'Spear Wave,' a derivative move I developed from the Shigan technique. And it's not just the Shigan; I've developed even more powerful derivative moves for other techniques as well."

"Oh, this..."

Everyone present was stunned into silence, after all, the previous Six Powers had already shocked them to the point of questioning their very existence.

But now, this guy in front of me is saying that those are just basic moves.

How could they possibly believe that?

But they had seen it with their own eyes, so they had no choice but to believe it.

Hiashi and Kai exchanged a glance, only now realizing they had underestimated the person before them, even though they had already considered him Kage-level powerhouse.

Now it seems...

With that kind of strength, the opponent is probably considered a powerful being even among Kage-level.

But then, Moke added, "Next, I will demonstrate the second martial art, called Fish-Man Karate, a style of boxing passed down from the Fish-Man."

"Fish-Man Karate?"

"A fist technique passed down from the Fish-Man?"

One by one, they were shocked and questioned their existence once again, exchanging bewildered glances.

Finally, Naruto couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed, "Are there still Fish-Man in this world?"

Tenten: "Are there really Fish-Man?"

Hiashi and Kai exchanged another glance, thinking to themselves, "Does this race really exist? They've never seen one, though they've heard of them. But those are just legends..."

Moke turned and looked at Hiashi again.

He made a gesture of invitation.

Hiashi: "..."

It's so numb!

He, the dignified head of the Hyuga clan, never imagined that one day he would be reduced to a tool for others to demonstrate techniques.

Where can you go to reason with them?

He originally came here to silence the rumors about Konoha. Of course, those spreading these rumors were meant to let him and Kai test the true strength of the person before them.

The former is probably impossible.

Because this guy in front of me is truly terrifyingly strong.

The latter... was no longer just the opinion of those people. He was also very curious, and it was extremely rare to fight against such a powerful figure.

Most importantly, those guys sent him to test this man.

Wasn't this giving him an opportunity, a chance to build a good relationship with him for the first time?

Moreover, he glanced at Neji not far away. Besides, it seemed that Neji had already established a good relationship with him, even if it wasn't like Rock Lee's situation where he became Neji's disciple.

But this experience has made him somewhat different from others.

And I heard that this guy wants to stay in the village for a long time.

Since that's the case... the Hyuga clan the source, they'll have an advantage. In the future... if they could help this person and a woman from the Hyuga clan form a family...

That would be the Hyuga clan's most valuable helper.

Tsk tsk...

You arrogant fools, I'll teach you a lesson you learned the hard way. You schemed against me...

Having made up his mind, Hiashi didn't mind being a tool for Moke for once.

"Eight Trigrams Air Wall Palm!"

The Eight Trigrams Air Palm can release a vacuum Shockwave. When two people release the Bagua Eight Trigrams Air Wall Palm Eight Trigrams Air Palm at the same time, it is called the Bagua Empty Wall Palm. It is usually released with one hand, but Hyuga Hiashi releases it with both hands, and can release the Eight Trigrams Air Wall Palm by himself.

In the original work, he was even able to deflect the Ten-Tails' attack with this move.

This shows just how powerful that attack was.

"Fish-Man Karate - Arabesque Brick Fist!"

By utilizing the form of a straight punch, a 360° Shockwave is generated. This move combines offense and defense...

Moreover, its attack method is very similar to Eight Trigrams Air Palm, both using Shockwave to attack the opponent.

"Boom..."

The two attacks collided fiercely in mid-air, and this collision was undoubtedly the most powerful they had ever faced... The attacks were locked in a stalemate for a moment before exploding apart.

The energy emanated from the two individuals and swept outwards. Conversely, like a Category 6 typhoon, all the leaves on the ground were blown up and then slowly drifted down like snowflakes.

It created a beautiful scene.

But at that moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

Hyuga Hiashi, in particular, was utterly shocked by Moke's expression. He realized that Moke's attack style was remarkably similar to his own.

The others were shocked.

In addition to the Six Powers he had just used, Moke actually unleashed another powerful physical technique.

Moke then turned to look at Rock Lee, before glancing at Naruto: "This is the move I'm going to teach you, the Arabesque Brick Fist!"

"Utilizing the shape of a straight punch, it generates a 360° Shockwave. This move combines offense and defense... and belongs to the same Fish-Man Karate style as the Water Strike used at Ichiraku Ramen."

"Sharp..."

Upon hearing this move, which was exactly the one they were going to teach him, Naruto jumped up excitedly...

His eyes were shining.

However, Naruto wasn't the only one with shining eyes; Hiashi did too.

In his view.

If Moke can teach these skills to Rock Lee, or even Naruto, then he can teach them to others as well.

Moke, however, seemed to see through Hiashi's thoughts and chuckled softly, pointing at Neji: "If you're willing to release him from his Caged Bird and find a way to get me three A-rank ninjutsu and six B-rank ninjutsu, then I'll take one of your daughters as my disciple. Moreover, I can guarantee you that I will teach them all four taijutsu techniques without reservation. Of course... whether they can learn them depends on their talent."

"What?"

Hiashi and Neji both exclaimed in surprise.

The former is largely due to Moke's willingness to take his two daughters as disciples, based on his saying that "a teacher for a day is a father for life." That would completely bind him to the Hyuga Clan.

After all, a teacher for a day is a father for life.

Conversely, it means that a teacher who has been a teacher for a day should treat his students as his own children for life.

Neji was shocked to learn that Moke actually wanted to free the Caged Bird.

However, Hiashi quickly realized what was happening and looked at Neji. He also highly valued Neji's talent.

If he were to receive instruction from Moke, his strength would likely increase even further.

He wanted his two daughters to become his disciples.

I'd rather this person become one Hyūga the Hyuga clan.

However, the rules of the Hyuga clan cannot be broken so easily. Even if he is the clan head, he cannot simply agree to something.

Moke could easily understand Hiashi's predicament.

Therefore, there was no urging. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hiashi, you can go back and discuss this with the elders."

What followed was the period of teaching and training in ninjutsu.

Perhaps it's because Moke's body, under the influence of the Devil Fruit Ability, is perfectly suited for training.

Especially in the three attributes of wind, lightning, and fire, they have a strong advantage. For ninjutsu of the same level, those of these three attributes are much easier to learn than those of other attributes.

He wondered if it was because of the Zoan Fruit – the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Fruit.

Although this ability has been sealed.

However, this energy had already become one with his body. Even though it was sealed, it gave him an innate affinity with the three elements of wind, thunder, and fire.

Then there's illusion magic. With his extraordinary mental strength, he's also adept at practicing illusion magic.

Cultivating it will yield twice the results with half the effort.

Water Release:

[Rank D]: Water Release: Water Clone Technique

[Rank C]: Water Wall, Water Prison Technique

[Rank B]: Water Dragon Bullet Technique

Fire Release:

[Rank C]: Phoenix Flower Jutsu

Earth Release:

[Rank C]: Earth-Style Wall, Headhunter Jutsu

Lightning Release:

[Grade C]: Lightning Ball

Wind Release:

[Level C]: Gale

[Grade B]: Vacuum Sphere

Illusion:

[Rank C]: Haze, Fox Mind Jutsu

Ninja:

[Rank D]: Three Body Technique

[Rank C] Rain Needles, Oboro Clone Technique

This is what Moke has accomplished in the past few days. He has mastered all ninjutsu for his own strength... and he has also determined his direction for development.

Wind, thunder, fire, and illusion magic will be his main focus going forward.

This would allow him to establish a solid combat system as a "ninja," enabling him to hold his own even if he only used ninjutsu in a short period of time.

Pity.

His chakra reserves are still far too low.

To unleash these high-level ninjutsu, one must utilize the power of the Curse Mark. Therefore, chakra training is also his primary training focus.

So, he made the decision.

He trains his chakra at night and practices and researches ninjutsu during the day.
