But Might Guy, however, had a look of surprise on his face. 'It hasn't been long, and he wants to learn the Sixth Gate already?'
But he also knew about the recent events in the village and couldn't help but ask, "Ryosuke, we are still best friends, right?"
The reason for such a question was that when the other party first came to him, he was just a much weaker little rookie, but now, in the blink of an eye, even he might not be able to withstand a single move from him.
Ryosuke asked in confusion, "Of course, what's the problem with that?"
If it weren't for the other party teaching him the Eight Gates Release, then at most, his current strength would just be that of a high-level expert with the Mangekyō Sharingan. Of course, his taijutsu would have already reached the formidable Kage level.
But such strength alone wouldn't allow him to dominate Konoha.
It was only by combining it with the Eight Gates Release that he became ridiculously powerful. Although the Eight Gates Release isn't something that just anyone can learn—it requires physical training and a certain level of crazed determination—
The premise was that the other party was willing to teach him the Eight Gates Release. Without this premise, everything else was just empty talk.
Hearing Ryosuke's answer, Might Guy voiced the doubt in his heart.
"Is the Uchiha clan planning to overthrow the Third Hokage by force and make him step down?"
Ryosuke was momentarily stunned when he heard Might Guy's words.
"Why do you say that?" He hadn't heard of such a thing, and neither Uchiha Fugaku nor the radicals had asked this of him.
He lived in the Uchiha clan's territory. If there were any major developments, how could he not know about them?
Might Guy noticed that the other party's expression showed genuine confusion and couldn't help but say, "This rumor has spread all over the village."
At this moment, he also felt a little ashamed. If Ryosuke, the strongest person in the Uchiha clan, didn't even know about this rumor, then it was naturally false.
Ryosuke, however, spoke speechlessly, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the Uchiha clan has no intention of overthrowing the Third Hokage by force."
Of course, a violent coup was possible, but it would inevitably lead to large-scale slaughter.
That was the consequence of using force—if it was done, it had to be done thoroughly, wiping out all the elderly, women, and children.
Just like how Danzo, in the original plot, dealt with the Uchiha clan so ruthlessly.
That was truly ruthless.
He was unwilling to be that ruthless, nor did he want to.
If he did so, he would only be creating trouble for himself. If he didn't completely wipe them out, those who survived would one day become enemies of the Uchiha and seek revenge, which could easily produce geniuses.
He had always believed that since the Uchiha clan had chosen to live in Konoha, there was no need to make relations with the village so hostile.
Hearing Ryosuke's words, Might Guy's expression gradually relaxed.
Although he didn't particularly like the Third Hokage now—since Danzo was his subordinate, and he allowed such a person to plunder the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and even transplant them onto his arm, one could only imagine how depraved one had to be to do such a thing—
As Danzo's superior, the Third Hokage naturally bore undeniable responsibility.
But even so, he still didn't want his friend to launch a rebellion.
Even though standing with the Uchiha clan was reasonable and they had the strength to do so, he didn't want the village to experience a large-scale conflict.
He hoped that by teaching Ryosuke the Eight Gates Release, he would become a hero of the village, not a traitor.
Now, hearing the other party's words, he was completely reassured because he was very sensitive to Ryosuke's expressions. He could see that he wasn't hiding anything or lying, nor did he have any extremely ruthless thoughts.
This proved that Ryosuke hadn't become terrifying just because his strength had increased.
Now, he finally remembered the main topic. The other party actually wanted to learn the Sixth Gate, but he himself hadn't even mastered it yet.
"Ryosuke, actually, I've been using your 'getting beaten up' training method recently. At first, it was really hard to endure, but after persevering, I've made significant progress—my physical endurance has improved."
"As for the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Release, my body should be strong enough to train for it now. So, let's train together."
Ryosuke naturally nodded in agreement. He was actually a bit surprised that his 'getting beaten up' training method actually worked. But back then, he only used it because he had the system, which allowed him to increase his stats. Maybe it was a special physique or something.
However, this method might not work for most people. It only worked for Guy because his body was undeniably strong.
Might Guy was already mentally prepared. Although they were both starting with the Sixth Gate, the other party's progress would undoubtedly be much faster than his.
It had taken him nearly ten years to master the first five gates, whereas Ryosuke had done it in just a few months.
Ryosuke specifically asked about the chakra flow path for the Sixth Gate, as well as the location of its gate. He even inquired about the location of the Seventh Gate and the chakra circulation method for it.
Although Might Guy was a bit puzzled, he still taught Ryosuke.
Ryosuke's strength was such that it wouldn't take long before he could break through the Sixth Gate.
As for the Eighth Gate, Ryosuke still felt it wasn't necessary for now, since it carried the risk of death—unless there was no other choice.
After discussing the details, the two of them separated by a distance and began training.
Might Guy started by assuming a horse stance, clenching his fists. Veins bulged, and a green chakra steam emerged from his body—this was the state of opening the Fifth Gate.
Gathering chakra, he tried to impact the Sixth Gate, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't shake the gate open even slightly. He even felt pain, making him grit his teeth.
Even after enduring the 'getting beaten up' training, it still hurt so much that he couldn't help but stop immediately.
Taking this opportunity, he couldn't help but glance at Ryosuke.
Ryosuke also opened the Fifth Gate, but the steam around him wasn't green—it was greenish-blue.
His aura was even stronger, several times greater than his own.
Might Guy was speechless. Even at the same Fifth Gate state, the gap was this huge? His physical condition just couldn't compare to Ryosuke's.
He was truly convinced—the other party wasn't just a taijutsu genius; he also had the Mangekyō Sharingan and was a ninjutsu genius. He was basically an all-rounder.
Suddenly, he was shocked—Ryosuke had started gathering chakra to impact the Sixth Gate. The movement was so intense, and the powerful aura formed a strong vortex that spread outward.
It directly kicked up dust from the ground, but Ryosuke didn't succeed.
That was normal. If he had succeeded in one try, Guy wouldn't even know how to react—opening the Sixth Gate wasn't that easy.
At this moment, Ryosuke had stopped.
When he had impacted the Sixth Gate just now, he felt pain as expected. But although the pain was strong, it wasn't unbearable.
It wasn't as bad as he had imagined, which made him feel pleased. Maybe because his body had become stronger, his endurance also improved, making the pain relatively mild.
It seemed that training the Sixth Gate would be easier than before.
After pausing for a moment, he started impacting the gate again.
If once wasn't enough, he would do it again. He could feel the Sixth Gate loosening. It wouldn't take long before he could master it.
———
One hour just like this passed, and Might Guy was already panting heavily, exhausted to the point of collapsing on the ground.
The training of opening the Eight Gates Release was even more exhausting than usual training, because it consumed chakra to impact the Sixth Gate.
And chakra was the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, continuously impacting, so naturally, it was continuously consuming.
Now, not only was his body exhausted, but even his spirit was somewhat fatigued.
And at this moment, he, however, felt a strong aura. His heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look in Ryosuke's direction.
Then, he saw that the steam on Ryosuke's body had already completely turned into a blue state. The aura emitted from his body was extremely astonishing.
Even more astonishing than before.
'Could it be that he had already broken through the Sixth Gate?'
Moreover, the aura that the other party had erupted was soon about to subside. And he also lifted the Eight Gates Release state.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke was kneeling on one knee, with an expression full of pain.
Might Guy supported his exhausted body and approached Ryosuke to ask. "Ryosuke, are you okay?"
Ryosuke took quite a while before he finally said, "Almost had a problem."
He was too impatient. Originally, he thought that by relying on his powerful body, he could forcefully open the Sixth Gate, but he didn't expect that when he finally opened the gate, the intense pain also suddenly surged, and his body instantly endured tremendous pain.
