Chapter 79

Shi Yuan was carefully observing every detail of Might Guy closing the Eight Gates.

Countless flashes of inspiration exploded in his mind.

"The Eight Inner Gates wastes too much chakra; if only these chakras could be gathered."

"No, these chakras are too violent; it's precisely because the body can't bear them that they overflow! Once constrained in the body, they become a problem instead!"

"So what needs to be controlled isn't these overflowing chakras, but reducing the amount of chakra."

"Need to control the degree of opening of the Eight Gates!"

Shi Yuan frowned.

The Eight Gates were like dams; opening them was like releasing a flood, and sealing them was like a dam; there was no such thing as a floodgate.

It was too difficult to control these violent chakras.

"If it doesn't exist, create it!"

"Each of the Eight Gates is formed by four valves existing in the chakra meridian system; just control the four valves!"

"No, controlling the valves is too difficult; even I might not be able to do it!"

"Then close the valves! Just keep some of the valves closed while in the state of the Eight Inner Gates!"

"This way, the problem of the Gate of Death is also solved! Itachi can open only one valve when opening the Gate of Death!"

"However, it's still not enough. Wanting to forcibly close the Eight Gates might not be doable by the performer themselves; it's best to add the help of a formula or a seal!"

"The problem of the Gate of Death is solved!"

This feeling of inspiration bursting forth made Shi Yuan extremely excited and extremely enjoyable.

"Besides the Gate of Death, the side effects of the Eight Inner Gates also need to be solved."

"I don't need to solve the lifespan problem, but I can try to solve the damage caused to the body!"

"Use the life energy dissipated after opening the third gate; after gathering it, it can be used to quickly treat one's own injuries, acting as a medical ninjutsu!"

[Itachi exchanged knowledge and experience of the Eight Inner Gates with Might Guy, Itachi analyzed the Eight Inner Gates technique, and Itachi had an epiphany.]

[Itachi created Secret Technique: Eight Inner Gates Cultivation Method.]

[Itachi created Secret Technique: Eight Inner Gates Sealing Technique.]

[Itachi created Secret Technique: Life Energy Sealing Technique.]

[Eight Inner Gates Cultivation Method: Through cultivating this secret technique, Itachi can gradually control the opening and closing of the Eight Gates and open the Eight Inner Gates.]

[Eight Inner Gates Sealing Technique: Through sealing, control the valves of the Eight Gates in the body, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the power of the Eight Inner Gates.]

[Life Energy Sealing Technique: Through sealing, gather the life energy dissipated in the body and accumulate it; it can be released at critical moments to treat body injuries.]

After digesting the information in his mind, a smile appeared on Shi Yuan's face.

The Eight Inner Gates Cultivation Method went without saying; it was a more targeted and professional Eight Inner Gates technique than the original.

The Eight Inner Gates Sealing Technique could even lock the chakra in the body, forcibly close the Gate of Death, and completely break the forbidden taboo that opening the eighth gate meant certain death!

And the last one made Shi Yuan even more excited.

"Isn't this just Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal?"

Tsunade’s Yin Seal is a method of actively accumulating chakra, which can be released when needed to achieve instant healing, enhanced attacks, and increased speed.

As for his Life Energy Sealing Jutsu, it is a technique Shi Yuan developed based on his research into chakra and the convergence of life energy that dissipates during the opening of the Eight Inner Gates.

It is released when needed to achieve a rapid healing effect.

In terms of effectiveness, it is naturally inferior to Tsunade’s Yin Seal.

But in terms of utility, it is much better suited for those who open the Eight Inner Gates.

"How is it?"

Seeing Shi Yuan reveal a smile, Might Guy, Kakashi, and Hiashi Hyuga hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly.

"It’s a success!"

Hearing this, Might Guy immediately became excited.

Kakashi and Hiashi Hyuga showed expressions of shock.

This is the Eight Inner Gates, the forbidden jutsu among forbidden jutsus, and it was improved so quickly!

It’s simply terrifying!

"No, I must convince the people in the clan to cooperate with Shi Yuan!"

Hiashi Hyuga felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Might Guy’s strength was already very strong, which made him feel immense pressure.

But now that he could obtain the improved secret technique, his strength would become even greater.

What about the other clans then?

If the Hyuga clan continues to remain conservative, can they still remain a prestigious family securely?

Looking at Might Guy, Hiashi Hyuga denied this thought himself.

Shi Yuan, however, fell into deep thought.

Without a doubt, all three secret techniques were powerful; in terms of pure value, each was no less than the Eight Inner Gates, or perhaps even surpassed it.

Moreover, Might Guy, having opened the Gate of Death, could threaten him as he was now.

Naturally, he could not give him all three secret techniques.

"The Eight Inner Gates cultivation method is just a systematic organization of Might Guy’s training experience, so giving it to him is fine."

"But the Eight Gates Sealing Jutsu and the Life Energy Sealing Jutsu need to be weakened!"

With his previous experience, Shi Yuan quickly obtained the weakened versions of the two secret techniques.

[Gate of Death Sealing Jutsu (Weakened version of the Eight Gates Sealing Jutsu): Can only control the valve of the Gate of Death, can forcibly close the Gate of Death!]

[Life Energy Sealing Jutsu (Weakened version): Converges dissipated life energy when opening the Eight Inner Gates, releases it immediately after closing the Eight Inner Gates, can only temporarily store life energy.]

Satisfied with these two secret techniques, Shi Yuan smiled and looked at the anxious Might Guy, saying:

"The secret techniques have been developed, but Itachi must wait until the seal is applied before I can give them to Itachi!"

Might Guy was stunned, then nodded.

Kakashi hurriedly went out to report to the Third Hokage; the content of the sealing jutsu was of great importance, and he feared the people of Konoha would not be at ease if they were not involved.

In the courtyard.

Might Guy sat on the ground, exhausted, with Hiashi Hyuga standing beside him.

Shi Yuan was pondering his recent gains and said, still feeling unfulfilled:

"Since we have some time, why don't the three of us discuss taijutsu?"

Might Guy nodded upon hearing this; he had benefited greatly from his exchange with Shi Yuan earlier, not to mention the two techniques he had already obtained.

Hiashi Hyuga, having witnessed Shi Yuan’s abilities, had long been tempted and nodded hurriedly.

Might Guy specialized in Strong Fist, which is physical taijutsu!

This type of taijutsu utilizes physical ability to form powerful physical attacks!

Hiashi Hyuga specialized in Gentle Fist, which is an energy-based attack that strikes by injecting one's own chakra into the enemy's body!

Shi Yuan, however, was a comprehensive practitioner, using chakra as an auxiliary to strengthen his body for physical attacks.

The three of them expressed their own views, sitting and discussing the Dao.

As their ideas collided, they soon each found inspiration.

Hiashi Hyuga: "If one could control the chakra erupting from the Eight Inner Gates and attack using the Gentle Fist method, the power would be unimaginable!"

Might Guy: "Impossible, that kind of power is simply uncontrollable!"

After speaking, both of them looked at Shi Yuan.

If there was truly anyone who could do it, it would only be this man before them.

Shi Yuan rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

Their conversation reminded him of a technique used by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!

The amount of chakra contained within it was enough to destroy mountains and break cliffs!

However, he could not yet understand many of the principles of the Gentle Fist, so he could not analyze it.

But he soon thought of Tsunade’s Strength of a Hundred.

Condensing a massive amount of chakra into the fist, then releasing it in an instant.
