"I'm not Sasuke!" Sasuke replied in a hoarse voice. He hadn't expected that Naruto would still recognize him despite his disguise.
"You are Sasuke!" Naruto said with certainty.
"I'm not!" Sasuke vehemently denied.
"So it is you!" Naruto said, reaching to remove Sasuke's mask.
Shinsei quickly stopped Naruto, grabbed his hand, and ran while saying, "Keep your voice down, we're doing secret training."
Naruto's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "They didn't take me with them to the secret training! I want to come too!"
Naruto's so easily fooled, Shinsei chuckled. "I didn't expect you to figure it out so cleverly. Let's do it together then. But don't tell anyone, okay?"
Naruto nodded solemnly and said, "I won't tell anyone."
An individual's unusual behavior may make them feel ashamed, but when a group of people do the same unusual thing, the shame is shared.
And so, a strange sight appeared: a group of people running excitedly along the outer edge of the Konoha.
Led by Might Guy, the group finished running laps and then started doing push-ups and frog jumps.
Tenten started falling behind, collapsing to the ground, completely unwilling to move. Then, Neji also completely ran out of energy.
In the end, only Might Guy, Rock Lee, Shinsei, Sasuke, and Naruto completed all the training.
Might Guy was also surprised. He and Rock Lee had made this kind of high-intensity training their daily routine, but he didn't expect that Shinsei, Naruto, and Sasuke would be able to complete all the challenges.
As promised, he explained the Eight Gates Released Formation to Shinsei and Sasuke.
Although the Eight Gates Released Formation is powerful, Shinsei has no intention of practicing it.
If it were a matter of training, as the Hokage's assistant, he could also obtain the training methods for this Taijutsu.
The main problem is that this Taijutsu has such obvious drawbacks. Besides the need to constantly improve one's physical strength, it also suffers from the weakness of having a very short burst of power.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, you will be weakened after opening the Eight Gates Released Formation.
For those who cultivate the Eight Gates Released Formation, as long as they unleash the Eight Gates Released Formation, sending out a powerful expert will take their life.
However, the techniques revealed after opening the Eight Gates Released Formation Gate of View) do indeed provide Shinsei with some good inspiration.
After opening the 6th gate, the Gate of View, you can unleash a rapid straight punch that creates flames by rubbing against the air at high speed to attack the enemy. This move is called Morning Peacock.
After opening the 7th Gate of Wonder, you can use your fist to strike the air and create an air cannon, attacking enemies like a tiger. This move is called Daytime Tiger.
In terms of power, it is not greater than other Ninjutsu. After Shinsei uses Senjutsu, the power of almost all Ninjutsu is no less than these two moves.
However, its advantage lies in the fact that these two techniques are entirely within the realm of Taijutsu ), and their power will not be lost if the enemy absorbs their Chakra.
Shinsei closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the grass, cleared his mind, and breathed evenly. Before long, he felt Natural Energy invading his body.
He used his spiritual and physical energy to envelop the Natural Energy flowing into his body, forming Senjutsu Chakra. When he opened his eyes, a shimmering white light emanated from his body, as if a god had descended to earth.
Naruto stared intently at Shinsei. As a contractor of Mount Myōboku, he already knew about Sage Mode. Although he had begun preparing to train, seeing Shinsei's Sage Mode still made him so envious he almost drooled.
Although Sasuke held his chin up and remained expressionless, it was impossible for him not to feel envious; otherwise, he wouldn't have offered the Sage Mode training method as a condition for exchange.
Purple-white Chakra surged from Shinsei's body, forming a tailcoat that covered his entire body. The color of the Storm Release Chakra was originally close to black, but with the addition of Senjutsu Chakra, it turned purple-white.
It wasn't that Shinsei wanted to show off his Sage Mode to his comrades, but rather that he was using the combined power of Blue Chakra and Sage Mode to increase his body's speed.
He tried to swing his fist into the distance, like Morning Peacock facing the sky.
A spark was generated from the Shinsei in the air, eventually turning into a wisp of white smoke.
Um, that's a little awkward.
Shinsei thought that with the combined power of Senjutsu Chakra and Blue Shield, he would be able to open the Sixth Gate at that speed. But now it seems he's still a bit short.
Might Guy, standing to the side, looked serious. As a practitioner and master of the Eight Gates Released Formation, he could see just how powerful Shinsei's physical speed was.
The speed that he needed to open the 6th door to achieve was actually Shinsei's normal speed.
Although he didn't quite manage to unleash the Super Peacock, he came very close. With further specialized training, Shinsei will be able to master this move quickly.
He stepped forward, patted Shinsei on the shoulder, and earnestly pointed out the mistakes in Shinsei's moves.
The Morning Peacock doesn't simply rub its fists against the air; there are many subtle differences involved.
Just like how, given the same amount of time and the same amount of force, some people can write beautiful characters with a pen, while others can only draw a funny face. It takes a long time and continuous practice to master the skills.
Finally, with Might Guy's repeated guidance, Shinsei's punch ignited the air.
A ball of flame emanated from Shinsei's fist, slowly burning towards a nearby tree, successfully burning through the spiderweb on the tree, leaving a bewildered spider lying on the ground.
"That's youth!" Might Guy grinned at Shinsei, flashing his bright white teeth and giving him a thumbs up. "You've already mastered the techniques; you just need a little more practice."
Shinsei swung his fist again, unleashing a slow-moving ball of flame.
He was not satisfied with the result, but he also knew that he had basically reached his limit. The only way to improve the power of this move was through continuous practice and targeted strengthening.
The method of increasing physical speed using Storm Release is one that I haven't yet reached its limit, and its development is far inferior to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of past Raikage.
However, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is the most core secret Ninjutsu of the Kumogakure, and it is difficult to obtain through conventional means.
Having the Sharingan, if he could spar with the Raikage, he could learn how the Raikage's Chakra is circulated. Combined with his research on Storm Release and Lightning Release, he should be able to deduce the complete training method.
The upcoming Five Kage Summit will likely include a meeting with the Raikage; I need to find an opportunity to spar with him.
Furthermore, one's body is also developing, and upon reaching adulthood, one's basic physical strength and speed will increase again.
Then, under the normal state of Sage Mode, I will be able to use the Morning Peacock technique, and even the Daytime Tiger, which is even further, is not out of the question.
As for Night Guy, which can only be used after opening the Eight Gates, it's beyond what one can hope to achieve in their normal state.
