However, Tomoki quickly cast it aside.
If it's gone, it's gone. Might Guy's kick isn't useful against small fries, and Madara or Kaguya aren't necessarily enemies.
What if he opened the Gate of Death to kick the Six Paths?
Hmm, whether he can even open it is a problem!
After all, only a few people learn the Eight Gates. If the Six Paths truly guarded against it, he'd just be opening them for nothing.
Rather than being at someone's mercy, it's better to be as free as he is now.
With his Chakra replaced by True Essence, Tomoki was free of internal gloom and became incredibly confident.
Just moments ago, Tomoki had inwardly denied that this world contained any passion, but now he was brimming with it.
Kaguya, who opened the mythical era? The Six Paths, who opened the Ninja era?
Hmm, all are gone. For truly great figures, look to the present!
Watching the various pods light up, Tomoki felt a surge of confidence.
A thousand years from now, he wondered what this era would be called.
It wasn't until Tomoki completed his transformation, and the third batch of Ninja began theirs, that Might Guy's transformation pod opened.
Might Guy's inherent Chakra wasn't weak; it was about one unit.
After exiting the pod, Might Guy was ecstatic, feeling his incredibly powerful body and constantly muttering about this being the power of youth.
As a master of Taijutsu, Might Guy clearly knew that his current body was comparable in strength to when he opened the Gate of Pain.
Furthermore, the hidden injuries caused by years of reckless training were completely eliminated, and his mastery over his body greatly increased, giving Might Guy even greater flexibility.
Just with his current body, Might Guy felt he could take on ten!
Not ten samurai, but ten of his former self.
Tomoki had a very good impression of Senior Kai, who had given him such a strong sense of security when he had nervously rushed to the Battlefield that didn't exist in the original story.
"Jonin Might Guy, come with me."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Not wanting to stay there and cause trouble, Tomoki led Might Guy outside the sealed area.
Currently, in the Rouran Ancient Kingdom, besides Konoha, there were only Sunagakure Ninja. Tomoki casually picked an uninhabited direction.
Tomoki led Might Guy to an open field.
"How do you feel, Jonin Might Guy?"
"Fantastic, Hokage-sama, is this the power of youth?"
Might Guy's excitement was evident. He sincerely expressed his feelings in response to Tomoki's question.
"Well, I have some bad news to tell you."
Tomoki then explained everything to Might Guy, from the principles of the Eight Gates, the difference between True Essence and Chakra, to Chakra's authority, and other things that were no longer secrets.
Might Guy's face was equally serious, listening to Tomoki's narration. He nodded repeatedly, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
When Tomoki finished speaking, he could only sigh inwardly as he looked at Might Guy's distressed expression.
Although it was cruel, he had to tell Might Guy; otherwise, if he tried to use the Eight Gates in a moment of crisis and found it useless, it would be too late to realize then.
After Tomoki's True Essence filled his entire body, his actions no longer needed to adhere rigidly to his previously established principles.
Regardless of the benefits, he had to make connections first. These were his people, and they had to be united.
Tomoki gently patted Might Guy's shoulder as a sign of comfort and said,
"Don't overthink it. We'll find a way. This is mainly to remind Jonin Might Guy not to rely on the Eight Gates anymore!"
Tomoki, intending to leave Might Guy alone to process his emotions, had just lifted his foot when Might Guy's words made him retract it.
"Hokage-sama, could you please repeat what you just said? I... I didn't understand!"
Didn't understand?!
If you didn't understand, why were you pretending, nodding while your face grew darker?
Where did you learn such bad habits?
Tomoki wasn't surprised that Might Guy, this seemingly honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would lie; he was surprised that Might Guy had actually fooled him!
With that acting, even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't believe you're an honest man.
Tomoki stopped, a faint smile on his face, and repeated his previous words, watching Might Guy's brows furrow seriously again. But what was with the nodding?
Stopping his explanation, Tomoki asked,
"Did Jonin Might Guy understand what I just said?"
"No, I didn't!"
"Then why were you nodding?"
"It means I heard you!"
Tomoki opened his mouth, wanting to complain, but didn't know where to start, so he also nodded, indicating that he had heard it too.
After about a few seconds of silence, Tomoki's expression returned to normal, and he said with a smile,
"To put it simply, Jonin Might Guy, your secret technique, the Eight Gates, most likely won't work anymore!"
"Ah? Is that what Hokage-sama wanted to tell me?"
Might Guy looked at Tomoki as if confirming, and after Tomoki nodded affirmatively, Might Guy said,
"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama, but I already knew!"
In fact, after leaving the transformation pod, while feeling his powerful body, Might Guy had tried to open the Eight Gates.
The Eight Gates, once ingrained in his body like an instinct, no longer showed any reaction.
Your ultimate move is unusable, and you're still so happy. You're something else!
Tomoki looked speechlessly at Might Guy, who perhaps finally understood what Tomoki wanted to tell him.
Might Guy showed his gleaming teeth and said with a smile,
"Hokage-sama, don't worry. Without the Eight Gates, I am still genuinely stronger. If I keep at it, perhaps I can become even stronger!"
After speaking, Might Guy, as if cheering himself on or expressing his true feelings, didn't look at Tomoki but at the setting red sun and said,
"The Eight Gates is just a technique my father developed. What my father passed down to me was never the Eight Gates, but the power of youth. As long as youth continues to shine, I will surely forge my own path!"
