Chapter 154: Might Guy's Six Gates
Chapter 154: Might Guy's Six Gates
"Since it's your request, Teacher Mu Yue, I can't refuse." Might Guy brought Mu Yue and Might Kai to his training ground.
"Teacher Mu Yue, how would you like to witness it? Should I show you the effects after opening the gates?" Might Guy asked when they arrived.
"Hmm, if possible, I'd like to spar with you while you're in the Six Gates state," Mu Yue said.
For ordinary people, the third gate is the limit, but for Might Guy, who had been practicing the Eight Inner Gates for over twenty years, opening up to the sixth gate was manageable as long as he didn't maintain it for too long.
"Alright, then, let's go up to the sixth gate." Might Guy nodded in agreement.
"Open the Gate of Hurt... Open the Gate of View!" Might Guy swiftly activated the Six Gates of the Eight Inner Gates, and with each gate opened, his aura became more formidable. When he reached the sixth gate, he was enveloped in green energy, and the sheer pressure of his aura made Might Kai feel immobilized.
Through her Byakugan, Mu Yue saw that the chakra within Might Kai's body was growing stronger by the second.
"Teacher Mu Yue, aren't you going to use the Eight Inner Gates?" Might Guy asked, thinking that Mu Yue intended to engage in an Eight Inner Gates showdown with him.
"I have other taijutsu techniques as well. Rest assured, Senior Guy, you can go all out," Mu Yue said, estimating that Might Guy in the Six Gates state would be at the level of an elite jonin at most.
"Then be careful, Teacher Mu Yue," Might Guy warned before instantly dashing forward and throwing a punch at Mu Yue.
However, Mu Yue, who maintained the Rock Breath Constant State for 24 hours, had his speed and strength greatly enhanced, and with the keen insight of the Byakugan, he easily dodged Might Guy's attack by slightly sidestepping.
"Haha, it seems this will be a youthful battle indeed!" Might Guy decided to hold back no longer when he saw how effortlessly Mu Yue dodged his attack.
Previously, he hadn't known Mu Yue's true skill level and was concerned about injuring him, so he hadn't used his full strength.
"I'll be even faster from now on!" Might Guy warned before instantly disappearing from his original spot and kicking towards Mu Yue.
"Rock Breath, Full Concentration Breath!" Mu Yue took a deep breath in the Constant State, further enhancing his strength and speed, and threw a powerful punch.
Boom!!
A loud collision echoed as the shockwave from their clashing leg and fist knocked down the surrounding trees, causing Might Kai to stumble backward.
"They're both so fast and strong!" Might Kai stared intently at the battlefield, unable to look away.
He was studying both the Eight Inner Gates and breathing techniques, and whether it was Might Guy's sixth gate or Mu Yue's breathing technique, they displayed a power that astonished him.
After the collision, Might Guy stepped back one meter, while Mu Yue retreated three meters.
"I've only acquired the breathing technique for a short time. My body is still lacking," Mu Yue thought to himself.
"Open the gate, open!" Mu Yue also activated the Eight Inner Gates, but he only opened the first gate.
Then, the two began to fight again.
With the Eight Inner Gates activated, Mu Yue's physical abilities were enhanced once more. Even with Might Guy unleashing the full power of his six gates, he could only match Mu Yue blow for blow.
"Open the Gate of Rest!" Mu Yue further enhanced his strength by opening the second gate.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
Mu Yue kicked out with an incredibly fast whirlwind kick aimed at Might Guy, who burst forward with all his might to meet the attack.
Boom!!
An explosion rang out, and the powerful energy shockwave caused cracks to appear in the ground where they stood, sending mud and stones flying in all directions.
Not counting those proficient-level ninjutsu, he still had a lot of abilities that he hadn't displayed. He could also switch between breathing techniques during battle. If he were to switch to the Lightning Breath, Might Guy, even with six gates open, wouldn't be able to touch him, and his Transparent World would be useless.
Mu Yue felt that he was currently in an awkward realm. He didn't have enough endurance to fight against a Kage, but he could easily take down an elite jonin.
"Senior Guy, let's stop here," Mu Yue said, bringing the spar to a close.
After all, this was the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates, and it was best not to keep it open any longer than necessary.
Hearing Mu Yue's words, Might Guy canceled the Eight Inner Gates, closing the gates he had opened, and the green energy surrounding his body dissipated.
"Amazing! With just two gates open, you're already stronger than my six gates," Might Guy praised, giving Mu Yue a thumbs-up.
He was delighted to find that Mu Yue was even stronger than he had expected, especially since Mu Yue was Might Kai's teacher.
Having such a powerful mentor for his son was a source of great happiness for Might Guy. A good teacher could help one avoid many detours on the path of cultivation.
"Senior Guy, you're also very strong. Actually, before meeting you, I had heard some unpleasant rumors about you," Mu Yue said suddenly.
"Haha! It's probably that nonsense about being a 'perpetual genin'. Don't mind those words, Teacher Mu Yue. I don't care about them," Might Guy laughed heartily.
"Even before meeting you, I knew they were talking nonsense. Senior Guy, you're the one who taught Might Kai to be diligent and hardworking. How could you be like what they say?"
"Now that I've fought with you, I'm even more certain that those rumors are false. With your strength, becoming an elite jonin would be a piece of cake," Mu Yue continued.
"It's not their fault," Might Guy explained. "Before I mastered the Eight Inner Gates, I really was a good-for-nothing genin."
The reason he had become known as a perpetual genin was that, for over twenty years, he had focused solely on cultivating the Eight Inner Gates.
And the Eight Inner Gates required an enormous amount of time to master, which meant that for a long time, Might Guy had been incredibly weak, a burden to any team he joined.
By the time he finally mastered the Eight Inner Gates, he had already gained the infamous reputation of being a perpetual genin. The only missions he could take on were menial tasks like catching cats, picking up trash, or moving things, and even then, he had to beg for those requests.
No one wanted to team up with him, no one believed in his abilities, and he had no opportunities to prove himself.
"It's a shame that someone with your strength is still only a genin. It's a loss for Konoha," Mu Yue sighed.
"Haha, catching cats is also a way to maintain Konoha's stability," Might Guy replied, his attitude carefree.
He felt that it didn't matter what others thought of him anymore; as long as Might Kai could achieve his dreams, that was all that mattered.
"Dad, Teacher Mu Yue, you're both so strong!" Might Kai was still reliving the intense battle he had just witnessed.
After the battle ended, Mu Yue chatted with Might Kai and his father for a while before taking his leave.
He had come today with two main purposes: to lay the groundwork for increasing his trust level and to gauge his own strength.
Mu Yue was quite satisfied with the results. With just the basic breathing technique and the Eight Inner Gates, he had the power to surpass Might Guy at six gates. Now, there were only a handful of people at the top of Konoha who could pose a threat to him.
