[Copy successful. Congratulations, host has obtained the superior trait: Eight Gates Technique · Opening Gate (Blue): After activation, allows preliminary access to the body's limiters, perfectly unleashing 100% of physical potential.]
"Huh?!"
Jin's eyes widened instantly.
There was excitement—but also confusion.
"System, why did a perfectly good Eight Gates trait only get copied partially?"
[This system is a trait-based system. It parses all traits carried by a ninja.]
[Some repetitive or incomplete fragmentary traits are included within the ellipsis.]
Included within the ellipsis…
Jin hesitated for a moment.
"So what you're saying is, these incomplete traits were all copied from the ellipsis?"
[That is a valid understanding.]
Jin fell silent for a beat.
He'd had this system for six years—and it was only explaining this now?!
But thinking about it, it made sense.
The system was like an emotionless copying machine.
During the copying process, it couldn't guarantee a perfect result every time.
Random selection—good or bad, it all depended on luck.
"So… that means I still need to fight."
He clenched and rolled his fist, then suddenly looked up at Might Guy.
"Senior Guy—let's have a round first?"
"Passion and youth—hm? Sure!"
Guy, who had been talking animatedly, snapped his mouth shut in an instant.
Thick battle intent surged into his eyes.
"Fighting—feels great!"
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
No hesitation at all.
Almost the moment the words left his mouth, he shot forward.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he became a green afterimage once more!
Hoo—!
Fast, fast, fast!
So fast that dust was ripped from the ground—
Even the air let out a deafening roar.
Then, a heavy, crushing roundhouse kick swept viciously toward Jin's waist!
BOOM!
The air exploded!
Even a boulder would have been shattered by that kick!
"As expected of Konoha's number one taijutsu master!"
Jin's eyes lit up—but he didn't dare tank it head-on.
His current ten-year-old body was still too frail.
Even with multiple trait buffs, those were relative to ninjutsu.
For raw physical strength, the boost was still limited.
Pure body-enhancing traits simply didn't scale enough.
So—
At the instant Guy's leg was about to brush Jin's clothes, the "666" in Jin's eyes spun wildly.
Buzz—!
A visible, nearly transparent ripple burst outward from Jin, centered on the space three feet before him!
Three Feet in Front!
The domain expanded once more!
BOOM! BOOM!
At the same time, the overwhelming kick crashed into it.
"Hm?"
Guy's relaxed brows slowly furrowed.
He felt as if his leg had kicked into an unimaginably viscous mass—
Like plunging into glue so thick it swallowed everything.
Layer after layer of resistance erased the terrifying kinetic force entirely.
This Uchiha kid… was no simple opponent!
THUD!
With a dull, heavy impact—
Guy's leg was forcibly "frozen" in place, stopping less than a foot from Jin's body!
The backlash even sent pain shooting through his thigh.
Muscles and bones alike seemed strained.
Left with no choice, he twisted midair and flipped backward, landing on the ground.
Only then did shock fill his face.
"This… what kind of defense is this?!"
"To completely block my Leaf Great Whirlwind—this is incredible!"
"So this is the solid wall one encounters on the road of youth?! Good! Very good! Excellent!"
After shouting those words, not only did Guy not lose momentum—
The fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter!
He clenched both fists hard!
Green chakra erupted from his pores like pressurized steam!
"First Gate—Opening Gate, open!"
"Second Gate—Healing Gate, open!"
"Third Gate—Life Gate, open!"
…
"Sixth Gate—Gate of View, open!!!"
BOOOOM!!!
In an instant, violent, roaring green chakra engulfed his entire body like blazing fire!
Crack.
The ground beneath his feet shattered violently.
In the blink of an eye, a crater one meter wide formed with Guy at its center.
"This is—Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Technique!"
The Third Hokage's eyes flashed sharply.
"With Guy's physical condition, opening the Sixth Gate should already rival weaker Kage-level fighters!"
"Even Enma's physical strength might fall short…"
"If that's the case… then maybe this isn't hopeless!"
Behind him, the deep furrow in Nara Shikaku's brow eased slightly.
Finally—Konoha's true powerhouse had arrived!
A Guy with the Eight Gates open could kick an elite jōnin to death with one blow!
"What an astonishing chakra flow rate… this power perfectly offsets the strain of the Eight Gates…"
Nearby, Hyuga Hiashi narrowed his pale eyes, staring intently.
"To think this kid could reach such a level…"
"Duy… you raised a remarkable son."
Though it sounded like admiration, the tension beneath was unmistakable.
The Eight Gates Technique varied wildly depending on the user.
Its power was built entirely on physical foundation.
The stronger the body, the greater the amplification from the Gates.
Sensing Guy's danger, Hiashi's chakra began circulating subconsciously.
Jin's abilities were strange and overwhelming—but all of it relied on his eyes.
Against extreme-limit taijutsu like this, there might be fatal risks!
And more importantly—
Jin was the future son-in-law he had already mentally accepted.
He absolutely could not allow him to fall here!
So if necessary, he was prepared to intervene directly.
But the moment he stepped closer, his chakra flow began to stagnate.
The crimson flames before him were already affecting him.
"…Gulp."
Just the Sixth Gate—and it was already this terrifying?
Hiashi swallowed hard, shock undeniable in his eyes.
He knew it would be strong—but not this strong!
Just approaching disrupted chakra circulation!
How was one supposed to fight that?
Or rather…
Was this even fightable?
"If I really faced Guy in this state… I'd probably have to rely on Rotation."
With that thought, he could only shake his head and retreat with a bitter smile.
…
"Morning Peacock!!!"
At the same time, Guy's figure vanished completely!
Countless fiery red fist-shadows born from friction tore through the air—
Like torrential rain forming a fully spread peacock tail!
They slammed down mercilessly onto Jin's absolute domain!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!!
At that moment, even the air itself was annihilated!
Dust was pulverized into nothing!
Under the Morning Peacock, nothing survived!
But—
Guy's face grew redder and redder, his brows knitting tighter and tighter.
After unleashing countless punches—
He still hadn't touched Jin's body!
Not even the edge of his clothes!
"No! It has to be the number of hits isn't enough!"
He roared inwardly.
His body—and the fiery chakra surrounding it—flared violently once more!
His punches grew even denser!
Crack.
Then, suddenly, a crisp sound reached his ears.
Like heavenly music.
"Hah… looks like this invisible turtle shell finally cracked."
Guy grinned broadly, teeth flashing, as his fists kept pounding without pause.
But in that very instant, he noticed something strange.
In front of him—beneath his fists—
Jin… was smiling too.
Guy froze for a split second.
Wait—brother, why are you smiling?
Jin grinned, his expression unmistakably strange.
"I'm not the one doing the dance here—why would I just stand there and let you hit me?"
