I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 502 The Eight Gates Formation Team!

"The Eight Gates Formation..."

Nara Shikaku was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

As the head of the Nara clan (although his tenure was very short) and the leader of the Konoha Jonin squad (also serving as the Executive Vice Hokage), Nara Shikaku truly possessed a great deal of information that ordinary ninjas could never access.

For example, the Eight Gates Formation is one such formation.

Nara Shikaku not only knew of the existence of the Eight Gates Formation, but also understood its general effects.

From ordinary "green light," to "blue steam" after the seven gates are opened, and then to "blood-red steam" when all eight gates are opened...

Nara Shikaku was intimately familiar with the main stages and changes of the Eight Gates Formation.

【The Eight Gates Formation】.

This is further combined with the "eternal genin" that Nara Rinkachi just mentioned.

Nara Shikaku quickly came to a conclusion.

"Might Guy has successfully mastered the Eight Gates Formation?"

"Hmm, your skill level is not bad; you've already been able to open seven doors."

Nara Lan Gui nodded and smiled kindly.

"The eighth gate should also be able to be opened."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku immediately shrank back.

His understanding of the Eight Gates Formation was not very deep; he only knew its general content and effects.

The Eight Gates Formation is fully activated, unleashing crimson steam that is said to grant dozens of times the terrifying power!

Simply put, this is a desperate, explosive physical technique.

If Might Guy could open the Eight Gates, Nara Shikaku knew he wouldn't be a match for him.

The terrifying reputation of the Eight Gates Formation, with its blood-red steam, is earned through sheer force!

"That's truly rare."

Nara Shikaku sighed.

The power of the Eight Gates Formation is terrifying and astonishing, but its principle is not complicated.

Any ninja who understands the chakra meridian system knows that there are eight special points in the human body that inhibit and control the chakra within the body: the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Injury, the Gate of Closure, the Gate of View, the Gate of Shock, and the Gate of Death.

But principles are principles.

Even though many ninjas know the principles of the Eight Gates Formation, not many can actually learn this forbidden taijutsu.

In stark contrast to the simple principles of the Eight Gates Formation is its exceptionally high level of difficulty in mastering it!

Not to mention that the initial two gates of the Eight Gates Formation—the Open Gate and the Rest Gate—are both located in the brain region of the human body.

To practice the Eight Gates Formation, one must first open the Open Gate and the Rest Gate.

But how complex is the human body's chakra meridian system?

Practicing the Eight Gates Formation is risky; a slight mistake can turn you into a "fool" in the early stages, or even threaten your life!

Those who aren't ninjas are unaware of the power and effects of the Eight Gates Formation.

The Eight Gates Formation is simply too painful and difficult to master!

Nara Shikaku couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had seen a successful practitioner of the Eight Gates Formation.

Not to mention that Might Guy had even trained to the point where he could open the seventh or eighth gate.

In a sense, Might Guy is not much different from the tailed beasts in the village now.

They all belong to the kind of "strategic deterrent force" that can directly threaten other villages!

In this way, Nara Shikaku understood the clan leader's purpose in forming the "Eight Gates Formation Team".

Who would complain about having too much strategic deterrent power?

Moreover, compared to tailed beasts, ninjas like Might Guy are actually safer and more controllable.

at the same time.

Nara Shikaku quickly analyzed why Nara Rinka wanted to gather "specialized ninjas".

The Eight Gates Formation is extremely difficult and risky to master, and the process is extremely arduous.

Unless it's a ninja like Nara Rinkazu said, "who has chakra but no ninjutsu talent."

Otherwise, ordinary ninjas would generally not choose to take this path.

of course.

Nara Rinka could also use the Fourth Hokage's name to forcibly conscript some ninjas and make them train in the Eight Gates Formation.

But why bother?

Nara Rinkei was not a scheming and ambitious man like Shimura Danzo, who would stop at nothing to expand his own power.

Assemble the Eight Gates Formation team; if it succeeds, great; if not, so be it.

Nara's laurel wreath is not something to be forced upon them.

"I will take charge of organizing this matter."

Nara Shikaku nodded.

"However, if this team is successfully formed, shouldn't Matt Day's position be promoted further?"

In Konoha's ninja system, Special Jonin refers to ninjas with unique talents in certain areas, whose strength is generally between that of Chunin and Jonin.

Matt Day can now open seven, or even eight, doors.

Even though he was only a taijutsu-type ninja with an extremely specialized skill set, his strength level had already reached the Jonin level.

When necessary, Might Guy can even leap to the level of a Shadow!

However, Nara Rinkasa's severe lack of other abilities led him to abandon the idea of ​​promoting Might Guy to Jonin in one fell swoop.

"That depends on Matt Daly's future performance."

Nara Rinka said noncommittally.

"He excels in physical combat, but is severely lacking in other abilities."

"If his skill level improves in the future, perhaps he can be promoted to Jonin."

"If that doesn't work, becoming a Special Jonin might be the limit for Might Guy."

If Might Guy remains just a special Jonin, then he is not qualified to serve as the captain of the Eight Gates team in the future—if the team is successfully established.

However, if Matt Damon doesn't work.

Nara Rangke also has a more suitable "backup plan".

Matt Kai.

Guy's talent and strength have been proven by Madara Uchiha!

Nara Shikaku didn't dwell on the issue any further; he hadn't even met Might Guy yet.

Discussing the other party's future development... that's just too vague and unrealistic.

Nara Shikaku glanced at the Fourth Hokage, who was lounging lazily on the sofa, and suddenly asked.

"Fourth Hokage, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

The Fourth Hokage has been away from the village for the past few days.

Although Nara Shikaku was always jokingly referred to as the "Executive Vice Hokage" by the Fourth Hokage.

However, since the other party has now returned to the village, Nara Shikaku still intends to report the official news to them.

"Nothing else for now."

Nara Ranka stretched and said casually.

"I've been staying at the Fire Temple for the past few days, and it's been exhausting. I plan to take a break for a while before continuing."

"And then..."

"I might need to make another trip abroad."

"Huh? We have to leave the village again?"

Nara Shikaku felt a chill run down his spine.

"Don't let it be another solo operation..."

"This time, I can only act alone."

Nara Lan Gui said in a deep voice.

"Brother Shikaku, I've received some special information about the 'Eyes of the Sage of Six Paths'."

Nara Shikaku's pupils contracted slightly.

"The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"Rinnegan".

In fact, in the movie "THE LAST", two years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha had already formed an Eight Gates team led by Rock Lee, and their armed forces were quite effective.

Third update.
