Chapter 680: Learning Eight Inner Gates III
Looking at the orange hue of the sunset in the distance, Guy smiled his iconic smile, “What a fulfilling day it was… Kuroto, Kakashi, how are the two of you doing? Were the two of you able to find the secret of opening the Gate of Life?”
Both Kuroto and Kakashi didn’t pay attention to Guy, they were stuck in their thoughts.
Both Kuroto and Kakashi were able to open the Gate of Healing with not too much difficulty, however, when the matter of opening the Gate of Life came, they are stuck in a bottleneck. Even after they struggled for the entire day, neither of them has made any progress.
Seeing the two strugglings, Guy said with a smug face, “I already told you that if you want to master the Eight Inner Gates Formation, you must be prepared for struggle, with talent alone one can only go so far… mastering the Eight Inner Gates Formation purely based on talent is impossible!”
Kuroto said, “Sigh, the difficulty of opening the Gate of Life is indeed much higher than I imagined, it seems it’s going to take some to open it… well, the Sun is about to set, let’s finish here for today, I will do my own research on the Gate of Life, and discuss with you guys next time.”
Kakashi nodded while looking at the setting Sun, then said to Guy, “Guy, I have really bothered you today… But still thanks, for giving your time today. Now I know the training method for opening the Gate of Life… For the next part, I will train it myself, and find you if I face any problem.”
Guy hurriedly warned him, “Hey you two… don’t mess around after going back… training and exercise should also be done in moderation, both of you need to give your bodies some rest else your core will get weak.”
Kuroto chuckled, “Don’t worry, I understand my limits, and won’t overexert myself.”
Kakashi replied, “Me too.”
Seeing that neither of the two seemed to heed his warning, Guy said with a sigh, “You two.. be careful… Truth be told, the speed that the two of you have shown in opening the first two gates is already amazing, no doubt, the two of are worthy of being unrivaled geniuses… but it is also necessary that the two of you listen to me.
The Eight Inner Gates… This technique is different from all the other techniques… It requires time… hurrying to open the gates won’t do you any good, instead, it will weaken you, and even if you both manage to somehow open all the gates, you won’t be able to display the complete potential of this technique unless you both give your body the time it needs to adapt.
So, my suggestion is to take it slowly and steadily, this will allow your bodies to adapt and your foundation will be stronger, and the two of you will be able to go farther on this road.”
Kuroto said lightly, “I see… I’ll keep your words in mind.”
Guy nodded to him, then looked at Kakashi.
In fact, Guy wasn’t really worried about Kuroto, he knows that Kuroto is the most sensible among the three and he won’t do anything that would harm himself and his future, but Kakashi on the other hand… Well, Kakashi sort of worries him… Guy fears that Kakashi would overexert himself, way beyond the limit of what he can handle… This is why Guy couldn’t help but say to Kakashi, “Kakashi, your current state worries me… I know you are carrying it yourself and don’t seem to want to involve others… but…”
Facing Guy’s concern, Kakashi bowed his head and chose to remain silent. In his opinion, only he can solve this matter…
Seeing that Kakashi didn’t seem to have any intention of saying anything, Guy said, “Alright… If you don’t want to share it, then, you don’t have to… I just want to remind you that we are friends… We will always be there to help you…”
Kakashi nodded lightly, “I understand.” then without giving Guy any chance to say anything he disappeared with a silver flash.
Looking at the spot where Kakashi was present until an instant ago, Guy sighed…
Kuroto said, “Don’t worry about him… Kakashi is not a child, he knows what he is doing… probably.”
Guy nodded, “I hope so.”
Kuroto added, “Focus on the positive side, he at least has a goal which is better than doing nothing and having no goal.”
Guy nodded, “Yeah, you are right.”
Kuroto nodded, then said, “Alright then… I will see you next time.”
With that, both of them separated and went to their homes.
Arriving at his home, Kuroto carefully sorted out his experience of opening the first two gates, and all the information he managed to gain about the third gate.
Based on his current strength, Kuroto could only manage to open the first two gates… as for the third gate, it will indeed take a lot of time.
Kuroto thought to himself, “Guy was right… I can’t rush it… Mastering the Eight Inner Gates formation must be taken slowly and steadily… If I rush it, then the effect won’t be as good as I want it to be.”
Well, all that aside, Kuroto believes that even if he doesn’t rush it, his speed will still be very good, “My chakra is superior compared to most, and my physique has also surpassed others, my body should adapt faster than others…”
Thinking so, Kuroto squinted his eyes and estimated the time it would take him to completely master the technique and open all the eight gates.
If his analysis and estimation are correct, then it should take about a week to open the Gate of Life, after that, it would take about three to four weeks to open the Gate of Pain, then approximately three months to open the Gate of Limit… The sixth gate, that is the Gate of View will take about seven to eight months, and the Gate of Wonder will take about two years.
As for the gate of Death, Kuroto isn’t sure how much time would it take to open it, it is difficult to calculate based on his understanding.
Now that Kuroto understands the training method to open the Eight Gates, the thing he has to focus on is working hard and actually opening all of them.
To this end, Kuroto plans to use his privileges as the principal of the Ninja Academy and set up a personal training field in the woods around the academy campus.
The reason is so that Kuroto can continue his training at the academy.
Of course, if Kuroto is being honest, he doesn’t really need this training field as he can always disappear from the academy, but, still, it’s better to have it, and carry out this training while staying inside the campus… After all, it’s no secret that he is learning the Eight Inner Gates, so why to the trouble of carrying out the training somewhere else when he can always train it here?
