Chapter 684: Chapter – 677 To Learn Eight Inner Gates
"Having escaped Kumogakure after creating troubles… where will Danzo go?" muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.
As one of the former senior consultants of Konoha, Danzo knows a lot about the Shinobi World. Even if all the Root hideouts recorded on the papers were eliminated, there would still exist hundreds of hideouts that only he knows and can use to hide.
Without a doubt, Danzo realizes that he is in a pretty bad situation. He has been declared wanted by several nations and is being hunted down by them. In this situation, even if there are some problems in his soul, as long as, he doesn't make any big mistakes or give away his trace, finding him would be nearly impossible for anyone.
What's more, even if someone does manage to find him, they won't be able to do much damage to him, given his current strength. The current Danzo is nothing to scoff at, his strength has surpassed most of the shinobi out there, and he can no longer be taken lightly. The damn old man has seven Kekkei Genkai, each one more dangerous than the other, giving him the ability to survive the fights against most of the Shinobi out there. In fact, it wouldn't even be wrong to say that there exists only a handful of shinobi out there who can defeat him.
What happened in Kumogakure is the direct proof of this.
Kumogakure wasn't able to deal with Danzo inside their village and allowed him to escape their village, it's hard to say whether the hunting team Raikage and Killer Bee have led to Danzo would be of any effect or not.
Shaw…
As Kuroto was thinking this, suddenly a sharp hawk whistle resounded.
He walked up to the window of the Principal's office and noticed a small black spot gradually disappearing. Seeing this, he thought, 'Communication Eagle used by Konoha… it seems Konoha is also planning to make its move…' then frowned, 'But is the village even aware of the exact situation?'
It's hard to say whether Konoha has any significant information.
Based on what Kuroto knows so far, currently, Konoha doesn't have any useful information… But considering the bold move the village seems to have made, it seems they have conducted an in-depth analysis and some speculation on all the likely possibilities.
After all, there aren't too many reasons why Kumogakure would become the center of attention of the entire shinobi world, moreover, why and who would attack Kumogakure out of nowhere?
It could have been the Akatsuki, but considering that Killer Bee was not taken away, and chased after the attacker along with the Raikage instead of hiding somewhere, the Akatsuki Organization can be ruled out.
Since the attacker was not a member of the Akatsuki Organization, it means that it has to be someone else… and it just so happens that Danzo had defected to Kumogakure not long ago.
Although no one in Konoha wants to accept it, it is a possibility that can't be denied, so sending in Anbu squads to investigate the matter is plausible.
Completely clear of the intentions behind Konoha's move, now Kuroto has to think of his move.
After weighing it up, he decided to stay put for the time being.
Kuroto's personal energy is limited, and he would much rather spend that energy somewhere productive instead of aimlessly searching the entire shinobi world by himself. Kuroto believes that staying in one place and concentrating on collecting information is a much better idea.
Anyway, Kuroto controls two shinobi villages from the shadows and also has a very good grasp over the intelligence network of Konoha, with the assistance of the intelligence network of three great Shinobi villages, Kuroto will be able to stay updated on every movement. As long as Danzo shows up, Kuroto will definitely be the first one to know his location and can plan accordingly.
Since he decided to stay put for a while, Kuroto focused his attention on another important matter and came to the training field of the Konoha Ninja Academy.
The person he is looking for is none other than Might Guy.
Since he has almost mastered the Yin-seal, the next step is mastering the Eight Inner Gates. And the best way to master this forbidden Jutsu is to learn it from the pro.
After strolling for a while, Kuroto came to the place where Might Guy was present.
And looking at what Guy was doing, Kuroto smiled lightly and walked up to him.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
As he walked closer and closer, the rhythmic sound of fists and feet colliding on the wooden stump could be heard.
He walked up to Guy's side, and asked with a smile, "Has that kid caught your interest?"
Undoubtedly, Guy was hiding behind a tree and observing a child in the distance. And yes, the sound of fists and feet colliding on the wooden stumps was the result of the child carrying out his training.
Guy has of course noticed Kuroto approaching by his side, and hearing his question, Guy nodded, "Kuroto… isn't that kid similar to you and me? We used to be the same, don't we?"
Hearing what Guy said, tic marks appeared on Kuroto's forehead, and snorted coldly, "What do you mean similar to me and you? He is only similar to you… I was never like that!"
Guy rubbed his forehead sheepishly, and nodded with a melancholic expression, "Yes… now that I think about it, you were more of a book guy, lazy and absent-minded in the classes, but still the smartest among all of us… To be honest, I never saw you carrying out physical training all that much, and you still grew up to be such an excellent shinobi… you are really talented…"
Kuroto shook his head, "That's not the case… I was never the talented one…" then added, "It's just that I knew my upper limits, and also the way to increase those upper limits… and worked on it, so the type of hard work I did was different from everyone else…" then said with a smile, "And for your information, I did train, but the only person who saw me training was Yui… others didn't…"
Guy smiled, "Hahaha… I guess that's true…" then looked in the direction of the kid, and added, "But I can't deny that this kid is very similar to me… Similar to me, he can't even learn any of the three basic ninjutsu, as a result, he ended up ranking last in this assessment."
The content of the last assessment was to perform one of three basic ninjutsu.
And Rock Lee is incapable of using Ninjutsu and failed spectacularly, of course, Uzumaki Naruto wasn't far behind and raked just above him, but thanks to the presence of Rock Lee, Naruto was spared from being last.
Anyway, when the results of the assessment were displayed on the School Notice Board, many children were discouraged, and it required the joint effort of the faculty to encourage them… Might Guy thought that Rock Lee might also be discouraged, and come here to help the kid get over it, however, what Guy saw surprised him, he didn't see Rock Lee mewling or crying, instead, he found the kid training…
Of course, this isn't the first time Guy has observed Rock Lee's training, however, there is something different about Rock Lee this time, his eyes are filled with determination and perseverance that is beyond his peers. And it is this determination and perseverance that has moved Guy who has experienced a similar situation in his childhood.
Looking at Rock Lee who seemed to be tired as hell and sweating buckets, Kuroto stated, "In fact, his situation is way worse than you… Rock Lee lacks the skill necessary to use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu… However, I have come to notice that he has an unrivaled talent for Taijutsu… if you feel that he is up to it, why don't you take him under your wing?"
Guy nodded, "I am thinking of doing the same… however, I need to see more… Having been through this experience, I fully understand that ordinary people can not easily stick to the path that my father and I have walked… it takes unmatched struggle… Therefore, I need to be extremely certain about Rock Lee before taking him under my wing."
Years of same, simple, and monotonous training that is extremely hard upon oneself… Not everyone can endure it. About this, no one can know more than Guy, Guy doesn't yet know whether Rock Lee can endure taking such a path… this is why, even if he was moved, he didn't plan to start Rock Lee's training immediately.
Hearing Guy's words, Kuroto sighed… He wasn't too surprised by this.
After a while of silence, Kuroto no longer paid attention to Rock Lee's matter, and touched on the matter for which he was here, "Guy, I too wish to learn the Eight Inner Gates."
Guy looked at Kuroto in surprise, "Huh… it's really strange and surprising."
Kuroto was confused about Guy's reaction, and asked, "What's so strange about it? Can I not learn the Eight Inner Gates?"
Guy waved his hands, "No, no, no… you can, you definitely can learn the Eight Inner Gates… It's just that…"
Kuroto asked doubtfully, "Just what?"
"It's just that Kakashi also expressed his intention of wanting to learn the Eight Inner Gates technique…" said, Guy, then asked, "Did you two discuss this with another?"
"Kakashi also wants to learn the Eight Inner Gates? That's news to me!" muttered Kuroto in surprise.
Guy nodded, and said proudly, "In fact, Kakashi has wanted to learn the Eight Inner Gates for a very long time… but he was too lazy to train all that much, and didn't want to do anything troublesome… But recently, he found me himself and asked me to teach him the Eight Inner Gates…"
Kuroto nodded in understanding, "I see."
Kuroto is indeed surprised.
In the cannon, Kakashi was indeed capable of using the Eight Inner Gates, but that was only superficial use and he could open only the first gate, however, in this world, that would no longer be the case.
Thinking so, Kuroto asked Guy, "So, what is your reply? Will you help me?"
Guy laughed out loud, and said with a thumbs up, "Obvious yes! You and Kakashi have finally asked for my help with something… obviously, I can't refuse…! It just so happens that I and Kakashi decided on the time of our first training session tomorrow, join us at that time, and we can get started with both of your training…"
Kuroto immediately agreed, "Alright… I'll meet at the location."
Guy nodded, and added with a smirk, "Kuroto… don't say that I didn't warn priorly… Training the Eight Inner Gates won't be easy. Even if you and Kakashi are one-of-a-kind geniuses, you have to be prepared for the struggle."

Chapter 685: Chapter – 678 Learning Eight Inner Gates Formation
As discussed with Guy, Kuroto came to the training field the next morning.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Even before he walked out of the woods, he was able to hear the burst of winds, and the sound of battle.
As he walked for a while, Kuroto was soon able to see the figures of the two people who were engaged in a fierce battle.
"No surprise there I guess…" Kuroto chuckled and sat on a tree branch as he closely observed the battle.
The two people who were engaged in the battle were none other than Kakashi and Guy. Both of them probably arrived a while earlier than Kuroto and decided to carry out a friendly battle to study each other's level.
Well, Kuroto didn't have any problem with that, he leisurely sat on the tree branch as he observed their battle.
Both Kakashi and Guy have excellent combat skills, and since they were fighting seriously, it seemed to be a sight to behold. Ordinary shinobi won't even be able to keep up with the speed of two, of course, Kuroto faced no such problem since he is on a level of his own.
Holding his chin, Kuroto muttered with a thoughtful expression, "Guy's physical strength has increased significantly… and his moves are also getting more and more fierce."
For a shinobi of steel fist style, improving physical strength is not an easy task… And there is no easy way to do so. Only through sheer hard work and training can one improve their physical strength and speed.
Due to this reason, the growth of such shinobis is relatively slow compared to other shinobi who use other forms of combat too.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Steel Fist Style has no future, on the contrary, the upper limits for the shinobis who practice only the Steel Fist Style are much higher compared to other Shinobi, of course, there are strict requirements, as long as a person is willing to endure rigorous training, years of hardship, and continuous struggle, then their growth is a sight to behold.
Might Guy is a very good example of this…
Back when he was in the academy, his strength wasn't that good, however, as years passed, the scenario started to change, and now, except for a very few shinobi like Kakashi and Kuroto, the growth curve of almost everyone has hit the plateau.
However, Guy is different, not only he has not hit the plateau, but in fact, from the same generation, he has left almost everyone except Kakashi, Kuroto, and Obito behind him.
And Kuroto is very clear that within a few years, as he reaches the state of being able to open the last gate, there will only be a handful of shinobi in the shinobi world who will be able to stand up against him.
Thinking of his future achievements, Kuroto couldn't help but sigh, "Might Guy… what a guy…"
After a while, he focused his attention on Kakashi, and muttered, "He seems to…" but Kuroto's words came to a stop as he couldn't think of the accurate words to describe his state.
When Kuroto looked at Kakashi, he felt that Kakashi seemed to have reached a critical point as if he is in the midst of some kind of major transformation, but what exactly it was, Kuroto couldn't exactly describe it in words.
He found this quite weird.
Before Kuroto could continue to ponder on this matter, Kakashi and Guy stopped their battle.
Seeing this, Kuroto put the thought to the back of his mind and jumped down the tree.
The three walked closer to each other and greeted each other, "Morning guys… you two seem to have come here quite early."
Might Guy showed his unique toothy smile, and said with a thumbs up, "Early morning sweat keeps our youth aflame… right Kakashi?"
Kakashi didn't speak but nodded lightly.
Now standing next to Kakashi, Kuroto felt it again…
Kakashi is no longer the same person who was lost on the path of life. At this time, standing next to him, Kuroto can feel a sense of sharpness being emitted from his body.
Normally this is a good thing, but Kuroto isn't sure whether such a stark transformation in such a short time is a good thing or not.
Somewhat concerned, he asked Kakashi, "Kakashi… are you alright?"
Kakashi nodded lightly, "Yes."
Kakashi actually knew what Kuroto was referring to… He realizes that he has gone through a lot of changes in terms of both character and temperament in his pursuit of strength. However, he has no regrets because this is the path he has chosen.
Kuroto smiled, "Well if you are alright then it's fine… it's just strange to see you so energetic…, especially in the early morning. I am really not used to you being early."
Guy nodded with Kuroto, "Yes yes… you used always make everyone wait, honestly, I was kinda of freaked out when I saw you here… You came here earlier than even me!"
Kakashi remained silent… He didn't seem to be in the mood to joke around. Seeing that all the three of them were here, he said to Guy, "Let's start."
Kakashi's words brought the attention of all three to the matter at hand…
With that, the three of them came to the riverside, and Guy said with a serious expression, "To be honest, there isn't much to explain about the Eight Inner Gates Formation, if the two of you need to know one thing, then it's that The Eight Inner Gates Formation is not just a Forbidden Jutsu that can be learned with training for a few days… No, it's a habit… a habit that you follow for years, and make your body get used to with time and training."
Both Kuroto and Kakashi nodded.
Guy continued, "Both of you know the basics of our body… among all the chakra points in our body, there are 8 special chakra points, they are like centers." And added while pointing at the specific centers, "And these eight chakra centers are the eight gates… Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and finally, Gate of Death.
These Eight Gates exist in order to limit the flow of Chakra, within our bodies. Ordinarily, we are only capable of using twenty percent of our body's full potential, this is our brain's way of protecting ourselves from harming our body through overexertion.
And the Eight Inner Gates Formation is a Forbidden Technique that helps us with bypassing these limiters."
Kuroto asked, "It means that the people who practice Eight Inner Gates Formation train their brain to bypass those limiters, and also trains their body to be able to bear the overload of chakra when the limiters are bypassed, is that correct?"
Kakashi added, "And since there are eight gates, it means there are eight levels of limiters our brain places on our body… This also means that opening each gate would imply bypassing a limiter… Earlier you mentioned the eight gates by their order, the order is based on the difficulty of bypassing the limiter, is that right?"
Listening to Kuroto and Kakashi's question, Guy came to a stop and looked at the two of them with a dumbfounded expression…
Seeing Guy's expression, Kuroto asked, "What happened? Did we misunderstand something?"
"No… no…" Guy shook his head, and said, "The two of you understood it perfectly…"
For a moment, Guy had forgotten who the people he was teaching were… Both Kakashi and Kuroto are excellent and talented shinobi with good reasoning and contemplation skills. It's no surprise that they were able to easily figure out the gist of the technique with just a little explanation. Especially when there is no such complex theory behind this technique.
"Ahem…" He coughed, then said, "Well, the two of you understand the theory behind it… This technique basically focuses on adapting our mind and body with training, so that we can break those limiters and bear that burden of breaking the limiters." After a pause, he said in a serious tone, "But remember this, we can only adapt our body to a limit, and that is the seventh limiter, or the seventh gate, beyond that there is nothing we can do… There is no method to adapt to the Eighth Gate so that limiter must never be touched easily."
Kakashi asked, "What happens if the last limiter is broken?"
Guy answered with a solemn expression, "Once the last limiter is broken, it would mean certain death… Of course, the result is very tempting as the strength, speed, and chakra would increase exponentially, but the price is also not cheap… The price is one's own life… Therefore, it should never be opened… unless…"
Hearing the details of the eighth gate, Kakashi fell into deep thought… He was seriously considering his chances.
At the same time, Kuroto was also busy thinking about something.
