Chapter 154 Six-Gate Mighty

“Since you, Muzuki-sensei, have requested it, then I cannot refuse.” Might Dai took Muzuki and Might Guy to his training spot.

“Muzuki-sensei, how do you want to witness it? Do you want me to demonstrate the effects after opening a Gate?” Might Dai asked once they arrived.

“Hmm, if possible, I’d like to fight Might Dai in his Sixth Gate state,” Muzuki said.

For people with average physiques, the Third Gate is the last safe zone, but for someone like Might Dai, who has cultivated the Eight Gates for over twenty years, as long as he doesn’t keep them open for too long, the Sixth Gate is not a big problem.

“Alright, then I’ll open up to the Sixth Gate.” Might Dai nodded and agreed.

“Gate of Pain, open… Gate of View, open!” Might Dai quickly activated the Eight Gates up to the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View. With each Gate he opened, Might Dai’s aura grew stronger. When he reached the Sixth Gate, Might Dai was enveloped in a green energy, and the mere pressure made Might Guy feel unable to move.

Through his Byakugan, Muzuki saw that Might Dai’s Chakra was growing step by step.

“Muzuki-sensei, aren’t you going to use the Eight Gates?” Might Dai asked, as he had thought Muzuki wanted to have an Eight Gates showdown with him.

“I also have other Taijutsu. Might Dai, just go all out,” Muzuki said. He estimated that Might Dai in his Sixth Gate state would at most be at the level of an elite Jonin.

“Then Muzuki-sensei, be careful.” Might Dai warned, then instantly rushed forward and threw a punch at Muzuki.

Muzuki maintained his Rock Breathing Constant State 24 hours a day, which provided a huge boost to his speed and strength. Combined with the Byakugan’s powerful insight, he easily dodged Might Dai’s attack by slightly shifting his body.

“Haha, it seems this will be a battle full of youth.” Might Dai, seeing Muzuki dodge so easily, decided not to hold back anymore.

He hadn’t known Muzuki’s true strength earlier, and was worried about hurting him, so he hadn’t gone all out.

“Next, I’ll be even faster.” After giving the warning, Might Dai instantly disappeared from his spot and kicked towards Muzuki.

“Rock Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!” Muzuki performed a deep breath on top of his Constant State, further enhancing his strength and speed, and then fiercely threw a punch.

Bang!!

A huge collision sound rang out, and the aftershock of their leg and fist clash directly knocked down the surrounding large trees, forcing Might Guy to uncontrollably retreat.

“Both are so fast and so strong!” Might Guy stared at the battlefield without blinking.

He was learning both the Eight Gates and Breathing Technique. Both the Sixth Gate displayed by Might Dai and Muzuki’s Breathing Technique showed power that surprised Might Guy.

After the collision, Might Dai retreated one meter, while Muzuki retreated three meters.

“I haven’t had the Breathing Technique for long enough; my body is still a bit lacking,” Muzuki thought to himself.

“Gate of Opening, open!” Muzuki also activated the Eight Gates, but only the first Gate.

Then, the two began to fight again.

With the Eight Gates activated, Muzuki’s physical abilities were further enhanced. Even with Might Dai fully unleashing the power of the Sixth Gate, he could only fight Muzuki to a draw.

“Gate of Healing, open!” Then Muzuki activated the second Gate, further increasing his strength.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

Muzuki kicked out an incredibly fast whirlwind kick towards Might Dai, who met it with all his might.

Boom!!

An explosion rang out, and the powerful energy shock created cracks in the ground where they stood, sending dirt and rocks flying in all directions.

This time, Muzuki retreated half a step, while Might Dai retreated three meters.

“In terms of pure Taijutsu, without activating the Mark, two Gates of the Eight Gates combined with Breathing Technique and Byakugan are enough to defeat an elite Jonin,” Muzuki calculated in his mind.

Not counting those mastery-level Ninjutsu, he still had many unused abilities, and he could also switch Breathing Techniques during battle. If he switched to Thunder Breathing, Might Dai in his Sixth Gate wouldn’t even be able to touch him, and he hadn’t even used Transparent World.

Muzuki felt that he was currently in an awkward state; he wasn’t persistent enough to fight Kage-level opponents, but he could easily kill Jonin.

“Might Dai, let’s stop here,” Muzuki proactively suggested.

After all, it was the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates; it was better to keep it open for less time in unnecessary situations.

Hearing Muzuki’s words, Might Dai deactivated the Eight Gates, closing the opened Gates, and the green energy around him dissipated.

“So strong! Just opening two Gates made you stronger than my Sixth Gate!” Might Dai praised, giving a thumbs up.

He was very happy to see Muzuki unexpectedly strong, because Muzuki was Might Guy’s teacher.

Might Dai was truly delighted that his son had such a powerful teacher. Having an excellent teacher could help one avoid many detours in their training.

“Might Dai, I actually heard some unfavorable comments about you before,” Muzuki suddenly said.

“Haha, you mean things like ‘Eternal Genin,’ right? Muzuki-sensei, you don’t need to worry about it, I don’t care about those comments,” Might Dai said with a hearty laugh.

“Before I met you, Might Dai, I already thought they were talking nonsense. How could you, who can teach a diligent and hardworking child like Guy, be as they say?”

“Now, after fighting you, Might Dai, I am even more convinced of my thoughts. With your strength, Might Dai, under normal circumstances, becoming a Jonin would be more than enough,” Muzuki continued.

“It’s not their fault. Before I succeeded in cultivating the Eight Gates, I was indeed a useless Genin,” Might Dai explained.

The reason he became an Eternal Genin was because he had only cultivated the Eight Gates for over twenty years.

And the Eight Gates required a lot of time to learn, which led to Might Dai being very weak for a long time, and he was a burden in any team.

By the time Might Dai learned the Eight Gates, he was already the infamous Eternal Genin. The only missions he could take were catching cats, picking up trash, and moving things, and he even had to beg clients to get them.

No one was willing to team up with him, no one believed in his abilities, and he had no opportunities to prove himself.

“It’s a loss for Konoha that you, Might Dai, with such strength, are only a Genin,” Muzuki sighed.

“Haha, catching cats is also maintaining Konoha’s stability.” Might Dai had a very good mindset.

He felt that his own situation no longer mattered, as long as Might Guy could achieve his dream.

“Dad, Muzuki-sensei, both of you are so strong!” Might Guy was still replaying their battle in his mind.

After the battle ended and chatting with Might Guy and his father for a while, Muzuki left.

He had two main objectives for coming today: one was to lay the groundwork for his trust level improvement plan, and the other was to test his own strength.

Muzuki was quite satisfied with the results. Just by using the Breathing Technique and the Eight Gates normally, he had strength that surpassed Might Dai in his Sixth Gate. Now, only a few top individuals in Konoha could pose a threat to him.

That’s all for today. I’ll try to update ten thousand words tomorrow.
