Chapter 25: Chapter 25
In Training Ground 7, Kakashi and Guy are doing the same training.
"Hey, Kakashi, there are only 100 left. We have to keep it up!"
Guy is still so energetic and shouts loudly.
Right now, Kakashi and Guy are doing continuous, fast paced push-ups. Their speed is fast that people can only see their afterimage.
The drops of sweat the size of the beans fell from the forehead of the two people, soaking their clothes. Under the two people, there was a large piece of land soaked in sweat.
The sunlight in November seemed a bit mild, but the extremely strenuous exercise caused the two's body to heat up, and their sweat could not stop flowing.
"Last one!! Push! Finished! 1000 push-ups!" Guy screamed and jumped up in an instant, panting and drawing in large amounts of much needed oxygen.
Kakashi at the same time stood up straight, but both of his arms were slightly trembling, and his body showed signs of exhaustion.
"Kakashi, now running the Eight Inner Gates can quickly eliminate fatigue and enhance your physique."
Guy said, revealing his white teeth again, giving a glimmer of light.
Kakashi gasped and nodded. He was not as energetic as Guy. 1000 push-ups is not easy, so this method of regaining energy is really life-saving.
Kakashi can feel the exhaustion of his body. All the cells in his whole body seem to be craving for nourishment.
Kakashi closed his eyes. He continued to run the Eight Inner Gates style, and his Chakra nourished the cells within his body in a special style.
An unspeakable sense of refreshment made Kakashi almost moan out load.
Chakra within his body is constantly being consumed, and the cravings of nutrients from his cells seems to be weakening. Chakra was then extracted from the cells. An now it is back, but it is completely different from how it was previously.
That feeling is like water condensing to ice, so wonderful.
A moment later, Kakashi opened his right eye, feeling slightly shocked but overjoyed nonetheless.
Looking at his own hands, Kakashi can clearly feel that the previous feeling of exhaustion has disappeared, and it seems that he is a little stronger than before.
The first effect is so obvious?
"Kakashi, how are you feeling?"
"It feels great and the effect seems to be very good."
"The effects of the first time practicing the Eight Inner Gates is always the most obvious, and then it will become slower. It requires a lot f hard work and determination, that is hard to come by."
"Yeah." Kakashi nodded gently and said.
If the Eight Inner Gates is so easy to practice, it will not have been only used by a few people from beginning to end. 'I think that Tenten and Neji, who are in the same group as Rock Lee, have learned the Eight Inner Gates and know that the Eight Inner Gates is not suitable for them to practice.
Not only because of its side effects, but also because the practice of Eight Inner Gates is not only slow, but also needs desperate determination. Neji has Byakugan, and uses the Gentle Fist Taijutsu. While the Eight Inner Gates is also a formidable taijutsu, Neji does not learn it. And Tenent, a girl, obviously can't stomach this kind of suffering. (EN: can't tell if the raws were less sexist than how the MTL makes it seem…)
In the original work, Rock Lee studied it for a year or two and then was able open till the fifth gate, demonstrating his talent in Taijutsu. Then, after three years, Rock Lee only managed open to the sixth gate, showing that progressing in the Eight Inner Gates becomes exponentially more difficult the further in you are.
Wearing practice 20 years, I completely mastered the Eight Inner Gates, and Guy spent almost the same time. (EN: Did Kakashi ever completely master, or even learn, the EIG?)
However, Kakashi still has time. Kakashi believe that he can at least master the sixth gate by the time the plot begins. This is the most conservative estimate. With nearly 12 years' time, Kakashi does not believe that he can't master the sixth gate.
If he is fully committed to the practice of the Eight Inner Gates, Kakashi believes that he will not be only at the sixth gate, that is, even reaching the eighth gate will be no problem. But Kakashi is only learning the Eight Inner Gates in order to augment and support his overall strength, and does not want to become a Taijutsu specialized shinobi.
Kakashi has a terrifying Talent for Ninjutsu, and it is really a waste for him to focus solely on taijutsu.
What's more, the terrifying power of the Eight Inner Gates comes at the price of his life, and Kakashi does not want to take his life lightly.
Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu are what Kakashi will focus on. Of course, he will not relax his training in the Eight Inner Gates. Only by moving forward can he create the strongest version of himself.
Of the three shinobi jutsu branches, Kakashi has no need to worry too much about Ninjutsu and Taijutsu now. The last branch, Genjutsu, Kakashi did not intend to delve into it much.
Kakashi's formidable Spiritual Force allows him to be immune to Gejutsu below Rank A, and he is partially resistant to Genjutsu of Rank A or higher. Together with his Sharingan, he doesn't believe that he will have to worry about Genjutsu. There is Tsukuyomi, the level 1 and other Genjutsu. It is.
And Kakashi, who has opened Mangekyo, is not afraid of Tsukuyomi. As for the strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, Kakashi is definitely not so rash to believe he can resist it.
Fortunately, whether it is Shisui or Itachi who is now a student at the Ninja Academy, Kakashi still has time before they become strong enough to be a threat to him.
The two men would not open the Mangekyo until about eight years from now, so Kakashi doesn't have to worry about these two Genjutsu specialists for the time being.
"Many thanks, Guy." Kakashi said, giving his most sincere thanks to Guy.
When he thinks about it, aftercoming to this world, the one who is helping Kakashi the most is no doubt Guy.
Whether it is at the beginning where he was accompanying Kakashi during training, or now that he is teaching the Eight Inner Gates. Guy is selflessly offering his own Taijutsu style. This made Kakashi feel very touched.
If it was someone else, Guy may not be so generous. But, just because it is Kakashi who asked, Guy is so generous to oblige. It can be seen that Guy is really a true friend of Kakashi, a friend of a lifetime.
Kakashi is apologetic for this because he feels like he is taking advantage of the trust and friendship Guy had with the original Kakashi. After all, he has just come to this world, and many things are strange to him. Even if he has the memory of the original Kakashi, he can't help but panic.
Because of Guy, Kakashi mastered the original's abilities, and can calmly face the battles that he could not have imagined to before.
Therefore, Kakashi is grateful to Guy, and at the same time also grateful of the friendship he has with Guy. With such a friend, what reason does he have to not to cherish this beautiful bond? Is there any reason not to protect him?
'Don't worry, Guy, I will never let you end up as a cripple because of the final battle like you did in canon.' Kakashi silently vowed in his heart.
Looking at the embarrassed Guy, Guy was the first true friendship that Kakashi built after coming to this World. This warm feeling made Kakashi very content.
"Hey, Kakashi, no need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, just come to me for a rematch. I just lost the Taijutsu duel. This is really unforgivable. I will win this time!"
Kakashi smiled and said, "Ok. Guy, let's go."
"Ah, that's great, this is the power of youth!"
Guy said while laughing loudly.
In the setting sun, the figures of the two were slowly stretched, and then the two figures were quickly intertwined. (EN: no homo)
"Take this! Konoha Whirlwind!"
