There was a reason why Might Duy chose to teach the Eight Gates Formation Technique to Meikyō.
The prototype of the Eight Gates Formation originated from the Second Hokage, and Uchiha Meikyō was Tsunade's disciple. As a disciple of the Second Hokage, Kagami Uchiha had a very close blood relationship with Tsunade and was considered by most people to be a true descendant of the Hokage.
Furthermore, Might Duy was also very grateful to Meikyō for helping him eliminate the countless hidden injuries in his body, and even provided financial assistance to him and his son for various reasons.
Yes, Might Duy believed that the so-called mission reward was actually a form of financial assistance from Meikyō to him and his father. Meikyō realized that his student Might Guy's family background could not support so many resources to bear the excessive training, and due to his strong inner Will of Fire, he made such a choice.
Otherwise, such an important person would not need to seek out an ordinary Genin like himself.
Might Duy didn't believe that Uchiha Meikyō would know about the Eight Gates Formation Technique, because Uchiha Meikyō hadn't been around long enough for him to perfect the Eight Gates Formation Technique, and he hadn't told anyone about it Vice Admiral that time, instead immersing himself in endless training.
Later, Uchiha Meikyō used his unique Uchiha sensitivity and Medical Ninjutsu inherited from Tsunade to see the problems with his body and realize his special nature.
Might Duy had already found the answers in his mind regarding all of Meikyō's actions.
Considering that Uchiha Meikyō was able to devise such an ingenious Physical Body Flicker, and that Might Duy Guy, as a master of Taijutsu, perceived Meikyō's physical strength as far surpassing that of any ninja he had ever seen, Might Duy believed that Meikyō was also a genius with outstanding talent in Taijutsu.
After much consideration, Might Duy decided to pass on his Eight Gates Formation Technique to Meikyō.
He believed that a person of high moral character who inherited the Will of Fire could reasonably limit and utilize the power of the Eight Gates Formation, and he taught these ideas to his son Might Guy.
Regarding the sparring match between Meikyō and Might Duy, the two found Minato Namikaze to be the referee.
"Huh? What's going on? Uncle Dai is actually challenging Teacher Meikyō!"
Ebisu was exhausted from training and collapsed on the ground, stared wide-eyed at the two people facing off on opposite sides of the court, his face full of shock.
"Dad actually..."
Might Guy was equally dumbfounded.
It wasn't just him.
Shiranui Genma, Uchiha Obito, Kakashi, Nohara Rin were all shocked by this.
"Alright, now I've left my Flying Thunder God Mark on Meikyō and Senior Dai's clothes. If an uncontrollable situation arises during battle, I can use the Flying Thunder God to transfer people in the shortest possible time, preventing any accidents from happening."
Minato Namikaze raised his hand solemnly.
"Now, both sides Confrontation Seal... The battle begins!"
Minato Namikaze his hand down heavily.
In Setsuna, Meikyō's figure vanished, leaving only an afterimage as he kicked Might Duy.
Might Duy reacted quickly, crossing his arms in time to block Meikyō's attack, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.
"The Eight Gates Released Formation, First Gate of Opening, Gate of Opening, Open!"
"Second Gate of Healing, open!"
"The Third Gate of Life, open!"
"Fourth Gate of Pain, open!"
A thick cloud of green steam suddenly emanated from Might Duy.
In the next instant, Meikyō's figure and Might Duy's figure disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.
Aside from Minato Namikaze, who could clearly see the two's movements, only Kakashi could barely make out some blurry figures.
"You've already integrated the shaving technique into your Physical Body Flicker so quickly?"
With his Sharingan with Three Tomoe, Meikyō held the sheathed Ama-no-Ohabari Feather horizontally in front of him to block Might Duy's kick. He then swiftly moved, his left hand clenched, aiming straight for Might Duy's throat.
Might Duy Meikyō's attack with a clenched fist, pushed off the ground with his left foot, twisted his waist, and quickly launched a spinning downward kick, forcing Meikyō to change his footwork to react. Then, he continued to spin and launched an even more powerful upward kick with his other leg.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
With a slight movement, Meikyō used the Sharingan's perception to find an opening in Might Duy's attack, quickly retreated, and simultaneously created more than a dozen clones.
"This is Senior Meikyō's signature move, known as the Meikyō the Body Flicker Technique, the Mirror Body Flicker Technique? It's said that every clone is a physical entity!"
Uchiha Obito watched the battle with a proud expression.
He could hear the clan praising the Meikyō the Body Flicker every day.
"Eight Gates Released Formation - Fifth Gate of Limit of Death, open!"
"Sixth Gate of View, open!"
Might Duy opened two more restrictions, and the green Chakra steam emanating from his body became even more ferocious.
Sensing the Chakra aura emanating from Might Duy, Minato Namikaze, standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but become serious.
Might Duy now gives him the feeling that he has surpassed most of the Jonin in the village.
"Leaf Bad Rock Rise!"
Meikyō quickly Reverse Summoning himself to the location of his clone, dodging Might Duy's powerful elbow strike.
A deep pit suddenly appeared where Meikyō had been standing.
"Their strength and speed are both extremely high. Even though I used Super Strength to enhance my power, my hands still feel sore."
Meikyō looked at the dissipating smoke and dust in front of her and felt the slight trembling of her arm.
However, Might Duy is not without its flaws.
Having performed so ordinarily for so many years, carrying out only C-rank and D-rank missions, Might Duy has very little experience fighting against strong opponents. At this moment, in the battle, in addition to his extraordinary strength, speed and reaction, he also relies on his beast-like intuition.
Meikyō several occasions, Might Duy's intuition allowed him to pinpoint the location of the true entity.
"As expected of Lord Meikyō of Meikyō the Body Flicker, but this next move is quite different from the previous ones!"
Might Duy, panting heavily, leaped into the air and quickly threw a series of punches downwards.
After being forged through countless trials, the Iron Fist, harder than steel, rubbed rapidly against the air, forming countless flames. From a distance, it looked like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, made of flames.
"The Morning Peacock!"
At this moment, the Ama-no-Ohabari, which Meikyō had never drawn before, was also pulled out.
"Laugh..."
Sparks rose from the corners of Meikyō's mouth, producing a large amount of white smoke.
The Ama-no-Ohabari Feather emerged from its sheath, moving like a dragon in Meikyō's hands, unleashing countless fiery slashes.
"Sun Breathing, Sixth Form, Burning Bones, Summer Sun!"
The current Sun Breathing is completely different from what Meikyō learned in the Demon Slayer World.
After incorporating the Chakra system and the pirate system into its Flying Slash, the power and intensity of these fire slashes have been enhanced to an incredible level.
Faced with Meikyō's serious attack, Might Duy's Morning Peacock was completely suppressed at this moment.
"Even with the Gate of View open, he's still no match for a legendary ninja like this?"
Might Duy took a deep breath and decided to open the Seventh Gate of Wonder.
But at this moment, Meikyō chose to stop.
"Alright, Dai, that's enough. You've already proven your youth. If we continue to loosen the restrictions, your body probably won't be able to handle it."
In the clear, Transparent World of the Meikyō, one can clearly see Might Duy's current physical condition.
It's not impossible to open the Seventh Gate of Wonder, but Might Duy's body will definitely suffer many hidden injuries.
Upon hearing this, Might Duy also stopped and released the Eight Gates Formation Technique.
"You have already proven the value of your youth over the past years, Dai. As for the Seventh Gate Seventh Gate, you will have to recuperate for a while before you can open it at a lower cost."
Meikyō patted Might Duy on the shoulder and said.
"Lord Meikyō!"
Might Duy seemed somewhat excited.
"Senior Dai's strength just now is almost at the level of a Kage, which is indeed very powerful!"
Minato Namikaze's face showed admiration.
He had never seen anyone who could bring pure Taijutsu to such a level.
"Dad!"
Might Guy ran over excitedly.
"Kai! Did you see that clearly just now? That's my ultimate technique, the Eight Gates Formation Technique! This is the result of over twenty years of arduous training! As long as you put in absolute effort, you will definitely be rewarded. That's what youth is all about!"
The two green-skinned people hugged each other, and soon they were moved to tears by each other's various inspirational quotes about youth.
"Um... if gaining such power will turn me into this, I think I'd better just stick to the training that Teacher Meikyō taught me."
Ebisu watched the father and son running and jumping excitedly together, shouting about their youth, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.
Meanwhile, Meikyō was telling Minato about how he "discovered" Might Duy Guy.
"I never imagined that Senior Dai's experience was so legendary and inspiring."
After listening, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Might Duy's unwavering perseverance is astonishing to anyone who witnesses it.
"Alright, Mr. Duy, let's continue training. I have some other ideas about Taijutsu that might require your exceptional Taijutsu to implement. Kai, come along too."
Meikyō called out to the father and son, Matt, who were still crying and reminiscing about their youth, and left, leaving behind traces of the battle.
Few ninjas would be curious enough to investigate the huge battle taking place at the Training Ground 3, and the Police Force's training team would be even less likely to disturb the area.
They knew that Konoha's two prodigies, Meikyō the Body Flicker and Golden Flash, often trained here, and that there were even female ninjas like Yūhi Kurenai who would block the door for autographs.
They are both incredibly powerful and have impressive backgrounds. Crucially, they are also very handsome, making them extremely attractive to young girls.
"Lord Meikyō, this is all the details I have compiled regarding the cultivation of the Eight Gates Formation Technique."
On the other side of the training field, Might Duy took a bundle of scrolls out of his green coat pocket and handed it to Meikyō.
Meikyō nodded to Might Duy, then looked at Might Guy.
"Dai, and Might Guy, I actually have a training method that's really suitable for you that I'd like to share with you."
Meikyō also took out a scroll.
"Teacher Meikyō, is it the same Inner Breathing Technique as Kakashi's Thunder Breathing?!"
Might Guy clenched his fists excitedly, waving his arms as he asked.
He had long been very curious about the amazing Ninjutsu that Kakashi had learned, which could enhance physical training.
"They are not exactly the same. Although they are both Inner Breathing Technique, the Stone Breathing is more compatible with you than the Thunder Breathing."
"Stone Breathing?"
Might Guy and Might Duy Day exchanged a glance, then looked at Meikyō with expectant eyes.
In the battle just now, if Might Duy's performance was amazing, then Meikyō's performance in Taijutsu also exceeded their expectations.
After all, in everyone's impression, the most distinctive features of the Meikyō the Body Flicker are the Sharingan, the special Body Flicker Technique, and the powerful swordsmanship and Fire Style.
However, Meikyō demonstrated exceptional physical abilities and Taijutsu skills in this battle, so they naturally had high expectations for Meikyō's training methods.
"Inner Breathing Technique is a special Nintaijutsu I personally developed, which utilizes Chakra to perform internal breathing within the body. This technique comprehensively tempers the physical body from the inside out, effectively enhancing endurance, explosive power, and physical strength, elevating the body to a level as refined as Vajra through countless trials!"
After Meikyō finished speaking, he and Might Duy exchanged ideas, and Mingjing also gave Might Guy some basic instructions on the Stone Breathing.
Might Duy's talent in Taijutsu is truly undeniable.
The Tekkai, Tempest Kick, and Shave that Meikyō copied from Yuchimura, except for the Tekkai, have all been reproduced by Might Duy.
As for the Tekkai, Might Duy believes that it requires extremely high muscle density and special pumping techniques, making it much more difficult to reproduce.
Earth Style: Hardening in the Ninja World can completely replace Tekkai, and the effect is even better. This is also true for other defensive Ninjutsu, because it does not conform to the mainstream fighting style of ninjas.
Ninjas are required to be agile. Before mastering the Tekkai to a certain extent, it cannot be moved when used, which is a relatively big drawback.
However, Might Duy confidently stated that he could develop a flawless Tekkai, so that at least he wouldn't have to worry about his body being injured by Kunai or shuriken, thus enhancing his ability to survive.
Shimotsuki Village.
Just like when Meikyō came, the place remains peaceful and serene.
Isshin Dojo.
In the square, groups of two or three apprentices were wielding wooden swords, either practicing basic skills or sparring with each other.
Deep within the inner courtyard, the sound of wooden swords being wielded could still be heard incessantly.
"Very good, Kuina, you and Zoro have great teamwork."
"Zoro, you need to swing your sword faster."
