After hearing Seiryū's words,
Duy was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumb and revealed a mouthful of bright white teeth. "Of course there's no problem. If you want to learn, I can teach you anytime!"
His personality was bold and straightforward, with very few schemes.
Not to mention that Seiryū was his son's close friend.
Even if it were just someone he knew, as long as they were not afraid of hardship and wanted to learn the Eight Gates from him, he would not refuse.
Since Seiryū wanted to learn the Eight Gates, he was very happy.
He felt that this was what youth was about.
"Then thank you, Duy-san."
Seiryū smiled and continued, "Since I'm asking you to guide my training, and it's a taijutsu secret like the Eight Gates, how about this, Duy-san. I'll pay you according to the rate for a private tutor…"
"No need!"
Duy directly interrupted Seiryū's words, his face becoming serious.
"You've always called me uncle. As an elder, how could I take money from someone younger than me?"
It was not because of pride.
He simply felt it was unnecessary.
It was not youthful at all.
It completely went against the beliefs in his heart.
Being able to help the younger generation and be relied on by them already made him happy.
How could he possibly take Seiryū's money?
Guy also showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled at Seiryū.
"Seiryū, you don't need to feel embarrassed. When we went to the Forest of Death together to gather herbs before, didn't you also refuse any payment?"
"Helping each other is what youth is about!"
"And although the Eight Gates is a taijutsu secret, it isn't really that precious. My father even traded it with a doctor for quite a lot of medicinal herbs…"
Friends should help each other.
Besides, this was not something important.
Just the Eight Gates.
His father had even used the training method of the Eight Gates to exchange with a wandering doctor for quite a lot of herbs used to make medicinal packs that restore physical fatigue.
After hearing Guy's words, Seiryū's expression became rather strange, and he did not know how to complain.
Duy refusing to take his money was within his expectations.
After all, Duy had always been this kind of person, very kind to the younger generation.
Seiryū still felt a little embarrassed.
But after hearing the latter part of Guy's words, he did not know what expression to make.
Using the Eight Gates to trade with a doctor for medicinal herbs?
This could also be traded so casually?
If it were exchanged for something valuable, that would be one thing, but trading it for herbs was just bizarre.
Seiryū's eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought to himself, 'Wait, why does this feel strangely familiar?'
Based on the information from Guy, Seiryū thought of someone.
In Naruto, there were only a few people who had learned the Eight Gates.
Aside from the lineage of Guy, Duy, and Rock Lee.
There were actually others.
A character who appeared in the original movie version, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, the man who possessed the Zero-Tails, and who mastered forbidden medical techniques, Shinno.
Seiryū could not help but complain internally.
'So Shinno got the Eight Gates in this way?'
This was far too dramatic.
But if it involved Duy, it really could happen.
Because Duy was exactly this kind of person.
Duy raised his thumb toward Seiryū and revealed his white teeth with a smile.
"Seiryū, burn your youth together with us. I will teach you the Eight Gates without holding anything back!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Duy-san."
Shaking away the thoughts in his mind, Seiryū did not refuse this time.
The atmosphere had already reached this point, refusing again would only be awkward.
He nodded and said, "I will seriously learn the Eight Gates from you."
The Eight Gates could instantly increase one's overall strength, similar to a sudden power burst.
Once learned, it would become a trump card.
It had great usefulness.
"Hahaha, no need to be polite!"
Duy laughed loudly and continued.
"I used to think your taijutsu talent was very strong and very suitable for learning the Eight Gates."
"But your talent in ninjutsu seems even stronger, so I never brought up the matter of training in the Eight Gates."
Seiryū's taijutsu talent,
To be honest.
Duy believed it was even higher than his son Guy's, making him very suitable for cultivating the Eight Gates.
The reason he never suggested that Seiryū train in the Eight Gates was because Seiryū's talent in ninjutsu seemed even greater.
After all, at such a young age he could already develop new ninjutsu on his own.
This was something he, a Genin, could hardly imagine.
"So that's the case?"
Seiryū was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
He had once received a reward called [Hakuda Talent Enhancement].
It greatly strengthened his comprehension of taijutsu.
He could learn Guy and Duy's taijutsu moves after watching them only a few times.
This was also one of the reasons Seiryū had not rushed to train the Eight Gates.
He did not think he would be unable to learn the Eight Gates.
His talent was there.
Guy showed his white teeth, his tone full of youthful passion.
"Father mentioned it to me several times before. But even though you're a genius, I won't admit defeat easily. One day I will surpass both you and Kakashi!"
Seiryū and Kakashi had always been the rivals he wanted to surpass.
Especially Seiryū.
No matter how many times he challenged him, he always ended up at a disadvantage.
If Seiryū had not called a stop earlier in their spar, he would have lost.
Seiryū shrugged.
"When that day comes, don't kick me in the head. I won't be able to take it."
Guy opening all Eight Gates had produced a famous scene.
If the position were accurate enough, he might even kick the Six Paths Madara to death.
Guy quickly waved his hands.
"That definitely won't happen. It's just sparring. I would never attack a companion's head!"
Duy's eyes became moist again, deeply moved.
"This is youth!"
He saw the bond between two close friends.
Working hard together, improving together. That was what youth should be like.
At this moment, Guy suddenly thought of something. He clapped his hands and looked at Duy with excitement.
"Father, give Seiryū a set of training clothes as well."
"You said before that this represents a kind of will, a kind of inheritance, and also the embodiment of youth."
"Passionate youth can accelerate the training of the Eight Gates. Seiryū needs a set of training clothes right now!"
The green tights were the embodiment of youth, and passionate youth could also speed up the cultivation of the Eight Gates.
"???"
Seiryū immediately realized something, and his face changed instantly.
There were two things that could make his expression change drastically. One was Tsunade's fist, and now there was another.
Before Duy could speak, Seiryū quickly waved his hand.
"Guy, thank you for your kindness!"
Looking at Duy, Seiryū spoke quickly.
"Duy-san, you're already refusing to take money for guiding my Eight Gates training. I would feel embarrassed taking your things as well."
"So I cannot accept this set of training clothes!"
One could be carefree, but absolutely not absurd.
Seiryū cared a lot about his image.
Green tights simply did not match his image, so he could only decline their kindness.
