[When Might Guy gained true awareness, the Kages, the Genius, the Jinchuriki, and even Kekkei Genkai had to step aside.]
[Even his disciple, Rock Lee, had to open the Six Gates, risking the green aura, just to have the right to be at the edge as an observer.]
[The whole Shinobi world avoided his sharp edge, yet the one who achieved this was Might Guy—a mere mortal.]
[This is the greatest recognition the author of Naruto could give to a mortal.]
[When Madara Uchiha, immune to all ninjutsu and able to ignore all genjutsu, faced Guy, who only mastered taijutsu, and the Uchiha heir and Hokage's son were barely alive and unworthy to look at, this silent, goofy guy realized that the time had come to show his value for Konoha and for everyone who struggles in this world.]
[After failing to defeat Madara by opening the Seventh Gate, Guy revealed an unwavering determination without fear; his back, as he opened the Eight Gates like it was nothing, literally made me cry from how cool it was.]
[As Duy said: when a person is about to die, that is when youth peaks, burning the brightest.]
[Thinking back, Might Duy forcibly opened the Death Gate to save his son, and with the power of a Genin, defeated four of the Seven Swordsmen of Mist Village, leaving only three alive.]
[Now, Guy has done the exact same thing as his father.]
[At that time, the Fourth Hokage said that his father did not want him to open the Eight Gates, but he said this was his own will. When his father taught him the Eight Gates technique, he set the ultimate rule for himself: the Eighth Gate can only be opened to protect someone important.]
[At this moment, behind him stand so many precious people, just like Might Duy risking everything to protect his "jade." Now Guy also has his most treasured jade—that is Rock Lee.]
[The spirit of protecting the jade and guarding close friends will multiply Guy's strength many times over.]
[Guy: This time, Kakashi, you just watch from the side.]
[At this moment, the blue beast of Konoha suddenly and resolutely opened the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death.]
"Heh, I'm really starting to admire Duy and Guy as a father-son pair."
In the Second Hokage's timeline, Madara Uchiha watched the video on the screen with great interest.
He had already decided to take Might Duy as his disciple.
People with noble qualities like perseverance, decisiveness, and hard work were too rare in the ninja world.
For someone like him who sincerely wanted to achieve peace in the ninja world, he genuinely hoped there would be more people like that.
Of course, it would be even better if, along with noble character, they weren't so goofy.
In the Third Hokage's timeline.
Since Might Guy's video started playing, Asuma felt like he was meeting Guy for the first time.
As fellow Jonin of Konoha, their relationship was ordinary—they'd greet each other when they met and occasionally chat.
So, in Asuma's mind, Might Guy was just a weirdo with a strange personality.
But he didn't expect that this weirdo also had a cherished jade in his heart, just like him.
"Guy really makes me look at him differently."
In the Fourth Hokage's timeline.
Minato Namikaze had also made up his mind to focus on training Might Guy going forward.
Not focusing on training him hard won't work.
Though Konoha seems strong now, it actually hides many risks.
With the suicide of Sakumo Hatake, the departure of the Three Legendary Sannin, and the aging of the Third Hokage's generation, Konoha's peak combat strength has truly declined a lot.
As Hokage, besides developing the livelihood of the people, it's also his duty to train powerful ninja.
Now that they've finally found Might Guy, who has extraordinary potential, how can they not train him hard?
Given the current situation in the ninja world, Guy doesn't need to open the Eight Gates; just opening Seven Gates already creates huge deterrence.
"Looks like it's time to find Guy a reliable taijutsu teacher."
[While everyone else was dumbfounded, he completely evolved into a blood-burning crimson beast.]
[The Six Paths Madara mocked him as a withered autumn leaf.]
[But Guy was not just withering away; he would also become the nutrients for new green leaves. When the green leaves sprout and spring arrives, that's when youth truly bursts forth.]
[The previous Sixth and Seventh Gates each had corresponding skills, while the Eighth Gate's skill is called Evening Elephant — also using powerful taijutsu to strike the air like an air cannon, but its power and speed can no longer be described as just multiplied.]
[According to Kakashi, when the Eight Gates are fully opened, one can even surpass the strength of the Five Kage by dozens of times.]
[Damn, seriously, dozens of times stronger — what kind of concept is this?]
[Because of that, Guy used his unique Evening Elephant technique to beat Madara so badly that he was in a terrible state, even cracking his skull.]
[But due to intense pain, Guy stopped halfway.]
[Think about it — the kind of pain that can stop even this determined Guy must be terrifying.]
"Pain aside, that Eight Gates technique where he punches the air—I actually find it kind of interesting."
Second Hokage timeline.
Watching Guy hitting his own future self with the Evening Elephant on the screen, Rikudou Madara chuckled and then directly punched the wall to his left.
Boom~
"Madara, what are you doing?"
"Obviously, Hashirama, I'm experimenting with punching the air."
He glanced at his left hand, then at the small dent on the wall to his left. Madara's expression was a bit displeased.
Although he hadn't used full strength, just making a small dent without breaking through the wall wasn't satisfying.
"Izuna, the money to repair this wall will be about five thousand ryo. When will you pay me?"
"Huh?"
Uchiha Izuna stared wide-eyed at Senju Tobirama and pointed at the small dent on the wall.
"For just a small dent like this, fixing it should cost at most five hundred ryo. Why are you asking me for five thousand? Why don't you just go rob someone?"
"Isn't this me robbing you now?"
"."
Damn it.
Hearing Tobirama's honest reply, Izuna was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I don't care. That dent was made by my brother. If you want money, go ask him."
"I don't want to. I'm afraid he'll beat me to death."
"You're shameless."
"Joke's on you. Ever since I became Hokage, I've long lost any shame."
Facing such a shameless guy like Tobirama, Izuna felt there was no use arguing, so he just decided to be straightforward.
"Anyway, I'm not giving you any money. Want money? Go find my big brother yourself."
"You're trying to cheat me here, huh?"
"I'm cheating? So what?"
"Then don't force me to use my trump card."
Just as Izuna wondered what Tobirama wanted to do, Tobirama continued, "Once the video finishes streaming, I'm heading to the Uchiha clan to spread some news about you."
"You sneaky, despicable white-haired Tobirama, you really think you've got me cornered, huh?"
Izuna was shocked.
Because of historical reasons, the two brothers never returned to the Uchiha clan from the start.
Except for the current clan head, the great elder, and Uchiha Kagami, no one in the entire Uchiha clan knew that Madara and Izuna had been resurrected.
No matter what Tobirama wanted to spread—good or bad—Izuna didn't care.
What he cared about was that after the news spread, the flood of Uchiha clan members rushing over would definitely annoy them to death.
For a peaceful life ahead, Izuna gritted his teeth and took five thousand ryō out of his bag, tossing it to Tobirama.
"Here, take it. Use it to buy medicine."
"Hehe, thanks, boss!"
