Chapter 77

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the stakes, and after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

"Alright."

Then he looked at Shi Yuan with some confusion.

"I can understand Itachi wanting the Eight Inner Gates, but is my taijutsu worth someone like Itachi being interested?"

In his view, Shi Yuan was very powerful, and his talent was something he couldn't reach; he shouldn't be interested in taijutsu, which was a skill exclusive to idiots.

"Of course, your taijutsu has great research value."

If there was anyone else in the ninja world whose taijutsu could interest him, it would only be Might Guy and Tsunade.

The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist didn't count; after all, that was more about the application of chakra.

Subsequently, Shi Yuan and Might Guy began a taijutsu exchange in the courtyard, and Kakashi gradually participated as well.

It had to be said that Might Guy was indeed an expert in taijutsu.

Previously, Shi Yuan's understanding of taijutsu was limited to theory; his taijutsu wasn't strong.

But Might Guy was not only skilled in theory but also demonstrated it from time to time, giving Shi Yuan an increasingly profound understanding of taijutsu.

[Itachi observed Might Guy's taijutsu, Itachi learned Leaf Strong Whirlwind.]

[Itachi observed Might Guy's taijutsu, Itachi learned Leaf Rising Wind.]

[Itachi observed...]

[Itachi recalled the taijutsu principles of the Navy Six Powers, Itachi had an epiphany, and Itachi created Secret Technique: Six Powers: Shave.]

[Six Powers: Shave: Use chakra to assist or rely solely on the body, utilizing the reaction force of continuously kicking the ground in a short time to make high-speed movements.]

[Itachi recalled the taijutsu principles of the Navy Six Powers, Itachi had an epiphany, and Itachi created Secret Technique: Six Powers: Moonwalk.]

[Six Powers: Moonwalk: Use chakra to assist or rely solely on the body's explosive power to kick the air, producing a hovering effect.]

A large amount of information flooded into his mind, and Shi Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.

Originally, he had thought about taking this opportunity to completely develop the Navy Six Powers.

But in reality, many moves of the Navy Six Powers were difficult to develop in the ninja world.

After all, the Navy Six Powers required an unreasonable level of control over the body, which was difficult to achieve in Naruto.

At the very least, the current Shi Yuan couldn't achieve the level of controlling body cells.

So he could only use chakra to assist in order to achieve a similar effect.

Seeing the smile on his face, Might Guy and Kakashi also quieted down and looked at him with anticipation.

"Let's pause the taijutsu exchange for now. This is for Itachi, but don't have too high expectations."

Shi Yuan wrote down the two taijutsu techniques and handed them to Might Guy.

Might Guy was stunned after reading it once, "So taijutsu could be performed like this?"

He couldn't help but try to perform Shave once; although he wasn't proficient, the effect shocked him.

His speed had increased by a large margin!

"Thank Itachi, this taijutsu is very useful to me!"

Might Guy thanked him sincerely.

For a pure taijutsu ninja like him, what could increase combat power was speed and strength.

But now he could reach the speed of at least the third gate without opening the Eight Inner Gates and harming his body.

It was simply a surprise beyond surprises.

Shi Yuan also showed an expectant smile, "Next, let's talk about the Eight Inner Gates."

The main point was coming!

"Eight Inner Gates."

Might Guy was a decisive person; since he had already decided, he naturally wouldn't be coy and began to dictate.

"The Eight Inner Gates is a move that releases the body's restrictions on chakra, causing a massive explosion of chakra..."

The Eight Gates weren't actually anything mysterious.

Anyone who had cultivated for long enough would understand them, and some might even have touched upon this realm themselves.

But for the vast majority of ninjas, the Eight Gates were a realm that was out of reach; they could only look, but couldn't control them at all.

Shi Yuan was naturally extremely knowledgeable about this, and could even clearly observe the existence of the Eight Gates through his Byakugan.

But there was a prerequisite for wanting to open the Eight Gates and use a move like the Eight Inner Gates.

That was unconventional, overloaded, limit-breaking, and long-term training!

Only such training could allow the various parts and organs of the body to adapt to the overloaded state after opening the Eight Gates, and maximize the reduction of the damage caused by the massive chakra explosion to the body.

And this had nothing to do with the strength of the body.

Even if your physique was strong, if your chakra volume was also large, the energy explosion after opening the Eight Gates was still overloaded.

In the face of the Eight Inner Gates, physique was equal!

"Running fifty laps around Konoha while doing handstands every day, ten thousand weighted leg-kicking exercises..."

Shi Yuan couldn't help but gasp upon hearing Might Guy's exaggerated taijutsu cultivation experience.

What was even more terrifying was that he had continued this high-intensity training for twenty years!

Simply non-human!

At the same time, Shi Yuan activated his Byakugan and the Transparent World to observe Might Guy's body and the Eight Gates within him.

Might Guy's muscle fibers were denser than ordinary people, and his ligaments, bones, etc., were also much stronger than the rest of the ninja world.

Even the activity levels of his lungs, heart, and other organs were the same.

But there were also traces of tearing and breaking followed by recovery in his muscles and bones.

It looked very much like the damage caused after performing the Eight Inner Gates.

What Shi Yuan was particularly concerned about was Might Guy's chakra meridian system and the surrounding tissues, which were far stronger than other ninjas.

Especially the locations of the Eight Gates, which clearly showed traces of frequent opening.

Soon.

Might Guy finished speaking, but Shi Yuan felt it wasn't enough, "I need to see Itachi open the Eight Inner Gates with my own eyes, and it would be best if I could feel it."

"Feel it?"

Might Guy was a bit confused.

"I have a secret technique called Life Chain. This move allows me to link my chakra with yours and feel the situation inside your body."

"As long as I link to your chakra, I can observe more detailedly when Itachi perform the Eight Inner Gates."

"It will be more helpful for developing new secret techniques!"

"Rest assured, after the demonstration, Itachi can clear my chakra yourself."

"As for whether Itachi want to do it, Itachi make the decision yourself."

Shi Yuan didn't force him; after all, everyone understood what a huge risk it was to let someone else's chakra enter their body.

Might Guy didn't hesitate at all, "I agree!"

Since he had already handed over the Eight Inner Gates, he wouldn't care about any cost.

Kakashi, standing next to him, hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, I'll go find someone else to help!"

Then he looked at Shi Yuan and said apologetically: "This concerns Guy's safety. Please forgive me, Mr. Shi Yuan."

"It's fine. Go find someone."

Shi Yuan waved his hand indifferently.

This would also save them from arguing afterward and cause less trouble.

Soon, Kakashi brought someone over: Hiashi Hyuga!

"Mr. Shi Yuan."

Hiashi Hyuga was full of etiquette, greeted him, and walked to the side.

He already knew what he needed to do, so he directly activated his Byakugan and waited attentively.

Kakashi: "Itachi can start."

Shi Yuan nodded and immediately performed the Life Chain.

Instantly, visible azure chakra linked from his body to Might Guy's.

"Start. Perform the Eight Inner Gates with all your might and let me see...!"

"Alright!"
