Unfortunately, being inside a house meant he could not easily use such an ability; otherwise, the whole room would blow apart.
But honestly, regarding Susanoo, he could at most activate it to the second stage right now. Just like the Fireball Jutsu, aside from looking good and showing off, it was basically useless, so there was no need to specifically bring it out to look at.
So, he chose to rest his body instead.
On the other side, inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage had already sent someone to summon Might Guy.
According to his subordinates' investigation, Uchiha Ryōsuke had been training with Might Guy for a long time. Furthermore, the Eight Inner Gates were likely taught to him by Might Guy.
Might Guy should know about Ryōsuke's situation.
Although he did not think much of Might Guy—because the man only knew Taijutsu and naturally had defects if he wanted to join the Anbu—given Guy's character, if he asked, Guy would likely answer truthfully.
Not long after, Might Guy pushed the door open and entered, speaking with respect.
"Lord Hokage, I wonder what matter you have summoned me for?"
Actually, he held a sliver of expectation in his heart. Perhaps his recent performance had gained the Hokage's recognition, allowing him to join the Anbu.
Recently, he had used Ryōsuke's method and became a bit stronger, but it was not as obvious as it was for Ryōsuke.
The Third Hokage stood up from his office desk, walked to the sofa on the other side to sit down, and spoke to Might Guy standing before him.
"Sit down first."
Guy did not hesitate; he directly found a spot and sat down.
It seemed the Third Hokage was giving him special treatment today.
One had to know that only certain important figures might receive such treatment. Ordinary ninjas like him usually stood, listened to their orders, and left. Even if the Hokage wanted him to become an Anbu, there was no need to greet him like this.
Could there be some important matter?
After Might Guy sat down, the Third Hokage smiled amiably and spoke kindly.
"I called you here because I have an important matter to ask you."
"Uchiha Ryōsuke must have learned the Eight Inner Gates from you, right? Relying on the Eight Inner Gates learned from you, he won a great victory against the Cloud Village ninja army. You must know about this. Likewise, you have also made a great contribution."
Might Guy hurriedly waved his hands.
"How is this my credit? It is merely Ryōsuke's outstanding talent."
The Third Hokage did not care about these polite words. After all, he was not truly happy about Ryōsuke's great victory over the Cloud Village; instead, he inquired further.
"According to what I know, the Eight Inner Gates should be extremely difficult to cultivate. Not even one in ten thousand people can cultivate it to such an excellent degree. Moreover, Ryōsuke hasn't been learning the Eight Inner Gates from you for very long. Did you develop a new method?"
Might Guy was equally shocked that Ryōsuke currently possessed such strength.
He spoke slowly.
"Third Hokage, as for a new method, I haven't thought of one. Perhaps Ryōsuke has a new method."
He himself had trained bitterly and only now had the strength to open five gates. Of course, sometimes he would also adopt Ryōsuke's method of getting beaten up, but this method might not necessarily work because his body could not take it.
The Third Hokage was slightly intrigued and asked hurriedly.
"What kind of method is it exactly?"
If he knew this method, perhaps he could also learn the Eight Inner Gates and greatly increase his strength.
Might Guy felt there was no need to hide it.
"This method is getting beaten up. The more you get beaten, the stronger the body becomes."
"I verified this with Ryōsuke."
"A few months ago, he started this kind of training. Gradually, one day I discovered that Ryōsuke had gone from someone with average Taijutsu to becoming the Taijutsu master he is today."
Speaking of this, his eyes shone with light. Ryōsuke relied on the Eight Inner Gates to protect the village, just like his father. His eye for judging ninjas was truly good.
Those who could learn the Eight Inner Gates suffered a lot of bitterness; without a steadfast mind, one could not learn it.
Opposite him, the Third Hokage looked suspicious. He thought the other party would say some amazing method, but what kind of stupid talk was this?
How could someone increase their strength by getting beaten?
Hearing it for the first time, it felt completely unreasonable. People were not steel; they did not become harder upon being hit.
No matter how one thought about it, it did not conform to common sense. No one in the ninja world had ever developed such a style.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if someone could improve their strength through such a method, their body's endurance and recovery capabilities would have to be strong enough to withstand attacks like steel. While the Uchiha clan's Taijutsu was acceptable, they were absolutely not a clan famous for robust bodies.
Looking at the injuries all over the other party's body, he could not help but ask.
"The injuries on your body, did you also use this method?"
Might Guy spoke excitedly.
"Lord Hokage is wise. These injuries of mine came from training with this method, but the results aren't as good as Ryōsuke's."
The Third Hokage could not help but roast the concept of 'results' in his heart. Of course there were no results.
Because this was not a normal method to begin with, it would be strange if it were effective.
"Then have you discovered the reason why Ryōsuke became stronger? Is it really just this method?"
Having spent so much time with Ryōsuke, Might Guy should have been able to spot some clues.
Becoming so strong in such a short time was weird no matter how one thought about it.
Might Guy lowered his head and pondered for a while before looking up.
"Ryōsuke can become this strong... if we talk about reasons, maybe it's because his body and recovery power are both very strong."
Previously, every time they sparred and Ryōsuke was beaten by him, he could recover quickly by the next day.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
"It might also be related to the Uchiha clan's special medicinal liquid."
Hearing this reason, the Third Hokage still did not quite believe it.
A tough body and amazing recovery power... a ninja's body had limits no matter how strong, unless they underwent human body modification like his disciple Orochimaru.
The Uchiha clan obviously would not do that.
And even if the body's recovery power was strong, so what?
This wasn't a machine where one could just swap a part and be done with it.
As for that Uchiha medicine, he had never heard of it. Basically, every clan had their own special medicines, but in terms of effects, none were particularly outstanding.
He could not help but inquire again.
"Have you observed any other details?"
Might Guy thought for a moment.
"Based on my observation, probably not."
