This is my ninja journey

Eight Gates Released Formation?

Hyuga Hinata was slightly startled, and then he smiled rarely.

No matter what your background is, or how heavy the reasons are, confusion always accompanies young people.

They will hit a wall, get lost, and be fooled. Most geniuses will die on the way to finding. And less than one in a hundred of those who remain will achieve legendary feats.

There is only one in ten thousand who can clearly understand what they want and then make a good life plan. This may be the difference between adults and teenagers. It is just that when a person is mature, it is difficult to turn back, while teenagers still have unlimited possibilities.

"So you want to make a breakthrough from taijutsu first? But where did you hear about this technique? Oh, I forgot that Might Guy was your classmate."

Now Might Guy had already made a little reputation. This extremely rare technique might be unfamiliar to other ninjas, but it was not too mysterious to the Hyuga family, one of the oldest families in the ninja world.

He thought about it, and there was no secret that needed to be concealed, so he said with a serious face: "I don't know who created the Eight Gates Released Formation, but it must have been a hundred years ago. The elders in the family once told me that someone used it during the First Hokage's time."

Sure enough.

Otonashi nodded. He said how could Might Guy's eternal Genin father develop such a heaven-defying forbidden technique? That IQ didn't look like someone who would make a fortune in silence.

Besides, with their family's feelings for Konoha, if they really developed it, they wouldn't hide it.

This thing was different from the secret techniques of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's families. It didn't have any high requirements for bloodlines. The only thing was that the body had to be tempered.

"This technique is difficult to explain in a few words. I don't recommend you learn it, mainly because there are four difficulties." Hinata pondered for a moment and held out three fingers.

"First, the practitioner must have a strong physique, and they must practice before their body is fully developed; second, this technique takes too much effort, and the effect is not as significant as ninjutsu. Except for those who have no ninjutsu and genjutsu abilities at all, no one will choose it. You know the status of taijutsu ninjas."

Otonashi smiled wryly. Of course, there was also a chain of contempt among ninjas. Years of practicing fist and foot skills were still not as good as a Great Fireball. Unless there was no way out, no one would take taijutsu as the foundation.

"Third, this technique is prone to bottlenecks and there are no shortcuts. You can only rely on the effort of dripping water to slowly grind, which can be said to be the least talented and the most talented."

Day after day effort was of course a talent, and it was a talent that was a hundred times rarer than any background or bloodline! The sweat shed day after day was much more difficult than the bloodline passed down by parents.

"Finally, the Eight Gates Released Formation puts a great burden on the body. If you are not careful, it will lead to death, so it is listed as a forbidden technique. Do you understand now?"

"Student understands." Otonashi suddenly realized. Through Hinata's explanation, he had a general concept in his mind, and finally understood why the tight-suit lineage specialized in this technique.

The talent requirements were extremely high. There were only a handful of people in Konoha who were as hardworking as Guy. It was much more difficult than the Uchiha awakening the Sharingan.

And the requirements were high and difficult to practice. The key was that there was an age limit. It was too late after adulthood, and how many children could endure that hardship.

Wouldn't it be better to use this time to practice ninjutsu, which was powerful and had brilliant special effects?

"But this is the most suitable for students." He looked at Hinata firmly. The latter was stunned, and after thinking carefully, he found that it was indeed the case.

Twelve years old was just right. Long-term swordsmanship practice made his body strong. As for hard work, there was no need to mention it. In the past few months, he knew that his student, except for squeezing out time to draw and play cards, practiced for more than ten hours a day.

'Not only that, his ninjutsu is also quite powerful. Coupled with the bloodline of that family, he is more suitable than that Might Guy.'

Hinata was a little shaken and said slowly, "But that is a forbidden technique."

"No, the so-called forbidden technique is a problem of people, not the technique. As long as it exists in this world, there must be a reason." Otonashi replied seriously.

Existence is truth. In fact, compared with Edo Tensei and Flying Thunder God, the Eight Gates Released Formation was far inferior in terms of ethics and cultivation danger, and even less than Multi-Shadow Clone Technique. At least Shadow Clone could easily kill the caster if he was not careful.

Otonashi saw Hinata's expression change several times, leaned forward and asked, "Then teacher, may I ask where I can learn this technique?"

He already had an answer in his heart. If Hyuga Hinata didn't tell him, he would have to spend some effort to find a breakthrough from Might Guy. At least from the performance on the battlefield, the latter had just learned it not long ago.

"The Scroll of Seals. That scroll is a dangerous item sealed by the First Hokage. It records various secret techniques that existed before the establishment of Konoha, and later the Second Hokage also added some forbidden techniques he developed." Hinata said a public secret, and glanced at Otonashi.

"Don't think too much. The First Hokage sealed it to protect you. Some techniques are indeed too dangerous. Fortunately, after the war began, the Third Hokage made adjustments. Chunin and above can apply with merit."

Now was the war, a war to maintain survival with all efforts. The Konoha executives were not so pedantic as to have treasures and not use them. At most, the review was strict.

Hearing this, Otonashi got up without hesitation and bowed: "Then please ask the teacher to apply to the Third Hokage for me!"

"I know, but the review is difficult, don't have too much hope." Hinata did not shirk. This was his responsibility as a teacher. He glanced at the boy's white hair again, and always felt that the possibility was great.

The so-called review ability was secondary. The key was to examine the applicant's background. In terms of background, Hinata felt that this Hanyu Otonashi seemed to be more reliable to Konoha than himself.

Simply as hard as a steel plate.

Let's try it.

......

On Mount Kikyo, the blackened loess still existed. Fully armed Konoha ninjas were searching every cave and secret passage for fish that slipped through the net. In the center, there were large pits that were more than ten meters deep and gaps that were obviously cut by giant blades.

Beside these inhuman traces, a gray tent had been erected. Several ninjas wearing fox masks stood at the door, motionless like sculptures.

If you looked carefully, they all wore earplugs, forcing themselves not to hear the conversation of the people in the tent.

"Finally, the casualty compensation is done."

Behind the table piled with documents, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, stretched. He rubbed his temples, his face full of fatigue.

Hokage was not an easy job. Not only did he have to be the mainstay on the battlefield, but he also had endless political affairs on weekdays.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fought with the Fourth Kazekage during the day and arranged various matters for thousands of people at night. Although he was only in his fifties, he was gradually becoming overwhelmed.

"Sarutobi, this is the list of merits just submitted. You have to take a look." A man with a thick gauze bandage over his right eye slowly walked over and placed the document in his hand on the table.

"Take a break. You're old, you can't be as desperate as when you were young." The Hokage smiled wryly and took a sip of hot tea. He slowly stood up and moved his arms. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

The two were about the same age, but the visitor was much more energetic than Sarutobi Hiruzen. He glanced at the fatigue on the other party's face and said, "Sarutobi, you have been Hokage for thirty years. It's time to hand over the burden to the young people. Don't think too much, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I know, but the battle is fierce now. The Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning will soon decide the outcome. Let's talk about retirement after the overall situation is settled." Sarutobi Hiruzen sat back in his chair, his gaze focused on the hat with the word 'Fire' written on it on the table, and asked calmly:

"Danzo, if I retire, who do you have in mind?"

"Your student Orochimaru. His combat achievements, age, and qualifications are all perfect. In my opinion, he is the best candidate to succeed Hokage, just like when the teacher chose you." Danzo replied without hesitation.

"As students, why Orochimaru and not Jiraiya or Tsunade?"

Danzo frowned when he heard these two names, and said unceremoniously, "Jiraiya is frivolous and useless, not enough to take on the big responsibility. Tsunade has been erratic since the last war, hanging around in casinos. She has not come to the front line after several conscriptions. How can she succeed Hokage?"

His words left Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless. The only one of the legendary Sannin who was still doing things properly was Orochimaru.

"Sarutobi, I don't understand what there is to consider! Orochimaru is the first to contribute to the battle of Mount Kikyo, and even the entire campaign was completed under his command. Since you have delegated power to him, why bother to hold on to the title of Hokage?"

In the eyes of the entire Konoha, it was thought that the Fourth Hokage was Orochimaru. He had military power, combat achievements, and his position could not be promoted any further. What else could he be rewarded with except for the position of Hokage? Even Orochimaru himself felt that he was the only one.

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head gently, opened the document, and replied, "He is still too young, and the command authority is only temporary."

Hearing this, Danzo widened his mouth slightly. This was not the same as what was agreed upon beforehand. Could it be that Orochimaru...

Became a tool man?!
