Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

[Part Two: Naruto Uzumaki.]

In terms of chakra reserves alone, Naruto is definitely among the top tier in the ninja world. From the perspective of chakra quantity, Naruto fully meets the requirements for mastering the Eight Gates.

While Naruto's taijutsu skills didn't quite reach the level of the Eight Gates training, they improved significantly later on.

[In Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto's taijutsu skills reached unprecedented heights.]

The Yang energy he possesses infuses life into the intangible and formless, serving as the origin of all regeneration techniques. Therefore, the side effects of the Eight Gates on the physical body are completely negligible.

The Hokage's office.

Jiraiya suddenly grinned. Sure enough, Naruto was always included when the Tenmoku Eight Gates were activated.

"As expected of my disciple! If Minato saw how powerful his son is, he'd probably laugh himself to sleep."

In the first year of Konoha, on a high platform outside the village.

When Hashirama Senju saw Naruto mentioned on the sky, he put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! That kid Naruto! No wonder he's the future Hokage!"

Madara Uchiha stood to the side, his face expressionless.

"Hashirama, he wasn't even born yet."

"Isn't this just a matter of time!" Hashirama said matter-of-factly.

"Besides, strictly speaking, we're both reincarnations of Asuras!"

Upon hearing this, Ban ignored him completely.

He gets angry whenever this is mentioned. If it weren't for that old bastard Six Paths being so biased, how could the Uchiha have ended up like this?

Konoha Year 52, Uchiha Clan territory.

Uchiha Tetsuka looked at the analysis of Naruto and Hashirama on the screen, his expression extremely complex.

He turned to look at his clansmen beside him, his voice tinged with resentment.

"Isn't Naruto Uzumaki just a reincarnation of Ashura? Since he's so strong..."

"So our Uchiha Sasuke is also a reincarnation of Indra, he shouldn't be any less impressive, right?"

The tribesmen nearby fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

"Tenmoku also said that Sasuke's future is also very strong. But the Eight Gates technique is indeed more suitable for people with large amounts of chakra and strong recovery ability. Sasuke's Sharingan and Lightning Release take a different path."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, especially compared to Naruto, who could succeed on any path.

Sasuke's path is far too narrow.

[Three: Kakashi.]

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the training ground.

Naruto looked at Kakashi in surprise.

"Kakashi-sensei! You can open the Eight Gates too?!"

Kakashi nodded.

"I know a little."

When Matt Kai heard this, he had an expression on his face that said, "Finally, someone has brought this up."

"Kakashi definitely knows it! I taught him before!"

He put his hands on his hips and said with a proud look on his face.

"Although he only opened a few gates, there are very few people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can master all eight gates!"

The text on the celestial screen continues:

Kakashi is the only known ninja besides Guy and his son, and Rock Lee, who has independently opened the Eight Gates.

Kakashi, on the other hand, had focused on physical training since childhood, and his years of competitive battles with Might Guy had already given him a solid physical foundation.

Although his chakra reserves were only sufficient to open the first few gates of the Eight Inner Gates, Kakashi's chakra reserves were completely transformed after losing his Sharingan.

After removing his Sharingan, Kakashi possessed a massive amount of surplus chakra, more than enough to withstand the enormous life force and chakra consumption inflicted by the advanced Eight Gates technique.

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze looked at the analysis on the screen and then turned to look at Shikaku Nara beside him.

"Shikaku, Kakashi actually knows the Eight Gates too?"

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment, then nodded.

"He and Might Guy were classmates, and they started competing back in the Ninja Academy. When Guy was training in the Eight Gates, Kakashi probably also practiced some of it."

Minato pondered for a moment, "With Kakashi's talent, if he can truly master the Eight Gates, it would indeed be a trump card."

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the training ground.

Might Guy was trembling with excitement. He rushed to Kakashi and grabbed his shoulder: "Kakashi! Did you hear that?! Tenbu said your chakra reserves are more than enough to withstand the strain of a high-level Eight Gates technique!"

Kakashi felt a little dizzy from being shaken so much.

"...Kai, calm down."

"How can I stay calm!"

Matt Kay's tears were already streaming down his face.

"You always said you didn't have enough chakra! Now Tenmu says it's because of your Sharingan! As long as you remove your Sharingan, you can open the High Gate!"

He paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression turning serious: "Kakashi... when are you going to return that Sharingan to me?"

Kakashi remained silent for a moment.

"...When Obito comes back."

Matt Kai paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Then let's wait! Let's wait until the day he comes back!"

[Four: Tsunade.]

The Hokage's office.

When Tsunade saw her name appear on the sky, she raised an eyebrow.

"I?"

Jiraiya stared in disbelief. "Tsunade! You can open the Eight Gates too?!"

Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at him with a displeased expression.

"What, it's not allowed?"

"It's not that it's impossible..." Jiraiya scratched his head. "I was just wondering what would happen if you opened the Eight Gates and the Hundred Gates at the same time."

The text on the celestial screen continues:

She is a top-tier taijutsu master in the ninja world, possessing a physical foundation far exceeding that of ordinary taijutsu experts. Although Tsunade's chakra level is rated at 8/100, this is merely a baseline level for her normal, externally released chakra output.

[By accumulating chakra over many years through the Yin Seal, her total chakra reserves far exceed those of Might Guy.]

If Tsunade were to activate the Eight Gates, the massive amount of chakra stored in the Yin Seal could continuously supply the enormous energy consumed by opening all eight gates.

[Combined with the Hundred Healings Technique to continuously repair bodily injuries caused by the Eight Gates' burns, this dual ability perfectly counteracts the two fatal flaws of the Eight Gates Formation.]

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the words on the sky and asked curiously.

"Minato, is Lady Tsunade really that powerful?"

Minato nodded. "Lady Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and inherited the powerful physique of the Senju clan. Coupled with her unique Yin Seal and Hundred Healings Technique, if combined with the Eight Gates, it would indeed produce an extremely terrifying effect."

He paused, thinking of the side effects of the Eight Gates Formation.

"However, her body probably can't withstand this level of strain for long."

"After all, each cell regeneration consumes a portion of one's lifespan."
