Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

Akira Hatake believed he couldn't do it, which is why he valued Might Guy so highly.

After packing up their equipment, the two headed to the place where the Eighth Squad used to go on picnics. Moreover, in order to take care of Akira Hatake, who was "disabled," Might Guy took on all the responsibilities and carried everything by himself.

Akira Hatake, of course, wouldn't expose him. He'd prefer to take as little as possible, or even nothing at all.

Clearly, Might Guy fulfilled Akira Hatake's wish to slack off.

Overall, if you ignore Matt Kay's somewhat goofy nature, he's a very comfortable friend to be around.

The two arrived at the picnic site. Might Guy was busy setting up the various picnic tools, while Akira Hatake took his fishing rod to the riverbank.

The two of them each did their part, and soon a rather sumptuous meal of wild game was served.

The head chef was still Akira Hatake, and the food was as delicious as ever. Might Guy, with his mouth full of oil, kept giving Akira Hatake a thumbs up.

Being praised is a very pleasant thing, and Akira Hatake was no exception.

However, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two, who had been having a long talk, gradually became more intimate.

"Kai, your youth is more than this; you deserve an even brighter future."

Akira Hatake's words instantly ignited Might Guy's fighting spirit, even moving him to tears.

"Really, Ming? You think so too?!"

Seeing Might Guy crying his eyes out, Akira Hatake rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

That's just how Matt Kay is; he's prone to self-pity and self-absorption, regardless of the occasion or location.

After Might Guy finally returned to normal, Akira Hatake steered the conversation back on track.

"Kai, have you encountered any plateaus in your training?"

“I have.”

Might Guy nodded, then suddenly remembered his promise to Akira Hatake. "I was thinking of coming to find you too, but I gritted my teeth and actually managed to get through the ordeal."

It must be said that Might Guy's talent in ninjutsu is terrible, but in taijutsu, he is indeed an absolute genius.

Akira Hatake had originally been waiting for Might Guy to come to him on his own, but things took an unexpected turn. It seemed that Might Guy didn't need his help to steadily improve his strength.

"Then have you felt any limitations?" Akira Hatake asked again.

"Limitations? Yes!"

Mitchell nodded vigorously. "I always feel that there isn't enough time for training during my youth. A day of training goes by too quickly, and I feel like I haven't had enough."

"..."

What else could Akira Hatake say? He had nothing to say!

Helpless, Akira Hatake could only prove it with action, raising his hand and throwing out a purplish-red chakra chain, which was directly tied to Might Guy's waist and instantly merged into his flesh and blood.

0.75 seconds later, a chakra sphere containing immense life energy burst out of Akira Hatake's body and surged into Might Guy's body along the chakra chain.

"This is……"

Matt Kai was taken aback for a moment, then let out a roar similar to Tarzan's.

"Oh hoo!"

He sprang up from the ground, and the light in Matt Kai's eyes was like the stars in the sky, frighteningly bright at that moment.

"I can feel it!"

"What did you sense?" Akira Hatake tilted his head and smiled slightly at Might Guy.

"The power of youth!" Might Guy responded. "I feel the boundless power that youth gives me, and I will train!"

Suddenly, he did one of his usual moves, giving a thumbs-up and flashing his gleaming front teeth, and gave Akira Hatake a goofy smile.

"I feel you could be a bit more intense."

Akira Hatake didn't correct Might Guy's wording, but instead gave him a faint encouraging smile, "For example, do some high-return training, but with significant side effects."

"Is this okay?"

Matt Kai suddenly returned to normal, and he took his body very seriously.

Despite their grueling training, taijutsu ninjas rely on their own bodies, a fact that Might Guy clearly understands.

No matter how strenuous the exercise, Matt Kai always manages to keep it within his body's limits and never sacrifices his health for trivial matters.

"Of course you can. Can't you feel the power within you?"

Akira Hatake knew that he wouldn't understand if he used too many profound words with Might Guy, so he could only express himself in the most straightforward and simple language.

"Moreover, after I'm done using it, I can transfer it to you again."

"Really?" Might Guy was as excited as a child.

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you?"

After receiving a positive reply from Akira Hatake, Might Guy shouted and immediately entered a state of overload training.

Akira Hatake has now witnessed just how outrageous the overload really is.

The specially made weighted bags wrapped around Might Guy's body made Akira Hatake's scalp tingle.

Each load-bearing belt has nine specially made iron blocks, each weighing a full half ton, and the weight of one load-bearing bag is as high as 4.5 tons!

His wrists, arms, waist, abdomen, thighs, and calves were all wrapped with weighted bags of equal weight, bringing his total weight to 40.5 tons!

This number needs no further explanation; just looking at the data is enough to understand just how insane Might Guy is right now.

And what's even crazier is yet to come!

"Eight Gates Formation, Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock, open!"

With a loud roar, Might Guy's entire body was covered in blue sweat vapor, and his chakra suddenly exploded, the amount of which was astonishing.

Driven by the immense chakra, Might Guy's physical strength was greatly enhanced. The 40.5-ton load still felt heavy to him, but it also became somewhat negligible.

“Ming, I could only try to open the sixth door before.”

Might Guy's face was contorted with rage, and he was panting as he spoke, his voice low and menacing. "But now, I've not only opened the seventh gate, but if I open the eighth gate..."

He clenched his fist. "I shouldn't die immediately!"

You can't try that...

Akira Hatake waved his hands repeatedly, trying to dissuade Might Guy.

"Don't worry, Ming. This is just training. It's not time for me to fully unleash my potential yet."

Might Guy responded and gave Akira Hatake a reassuring smile, "Then, the ultimate training mode of youth officially begins!"

"Full speed, run 30 laps around Konoha!"

"If you can't do that, do weighted frog jumps for three hours!"

"Run for your youth, Konoha's blue beast!"

With three loud roars in a row, his slightly childish voice was full of fighting spirit, and Might Guy disappeared from Akira Hatake's sight in a flash.

"The Eight Gates Formation is truly invincible..."

Akira Hatake sighed, "If there were no side effects, this technique would undoubtedly become the number one technique in the ninja world!"

As he spoke, Akira Hatake made up his mind. He was thinking of developing an Eight Gates Formation without any side effects.

The idea was good, but Akira Hatake faced many obstacles, because the characteristics of the Eight Gates determined the future of this technique.

The ability to unleash a technique that instantly surpasses one's own power by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times would be a fantasy without side effects.

Akira Hatake estimated that even if he could develop an Eight Gates Formation without side effects, it would only be a castrated version, and its ultimate power would definitely not be comparable to the original Eight Gates Formation that Might Guy is currently practicing.

But it doesn't matter. As long as there are no side effects, even if the increase in one's own strength is only around ten times, it is still a remarkable technique.

"Once Kai has used up all the life energy I transferred to him, then we can have a proper talk about the Eight Gates technique."

Akira Hatake stared straight ahead, his gaze piercing through the layers of spatial barriers and landing on Might Guy.

While Hatake Akira was pondering the problem, Might Guy had already run a lap around Konoha Village.

Might Guy truly deserves the title of Emperor of Physical Arts!

Chapter 320: Neither the big one nor the little one is easy to deal with.

After life energy is infused into the body, the most significant manifestation is none other than a rich and vibrant experience.

Besides these, the effects of life energy on improving physical condition, repairing bodily damage, and restoring chakra are self-evident.

Matt Kai could feel all of the above; he had never experienced such an exhilarating training process before.

Once started, Might Guy ran around Konoha Village for nearly an hour, fully loaded with gear.

The Gate of Shock, which he opened in the Eight Gates Formation, lasted for nearly an hour from beginning to end.

What is this concept?

The Eight Gates, an abnormally powerful taijutsu, is known as the "safe gate" for the first four gates.

The reason it is called that is that when the first four gates of the Eight Gates are opened, the body will hardly be damaged.

Moreover, users will hardly feel any pain during activation, and the effect lasts for a relatively long time.

However, the last four gates of the Eight Gates Formation are different.

Starting from the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Closure, the user's power will increase dramatically, allowing them to unleash their full potential more than tenfold.

From this point on, the true side effects of the Eight Gates Formation gradually became apparent.

When the Gate of Death is opened, the massive chakra that erupts within the body will first impact the most vulnerable meridians.

The rampant and uncontrollable chakra flowed through the meridians, causing damage to them and causing a stinging sensation throughout the body.

When the meridians can no longer withstand the pressure, or when the user can no longer bear the pain, that is when the Eight Gates of the Divine Art closes down.

At this point, the user will fall into a state of general weakness and pain from torn meridians.

If you have a strong physique, you will naturally recover quickly, which is why Might Guy trains his physique day after day.

Only a strong body and strong meridians can withstand the many side effects that the Eight Gates Formation brings to its user.

But are these all the side effects?
