So strong...
Climbing out of the rubble, Might Duy stared in disbelief at Vergo in the distance.
Even after opening Four Gates, he still couldn't land a decisive blow—not even a scratch.
For just a moment, he hesitated. Then he made up his mind.
Fifth Gate: Gate of Limit—OPEN!
"Aaaaah! Burn bright, my youthful passion!!"
Due to the Eight Inner Gates still being incomplete and riddled with flaws, the already-bloodshot capillaries in Might Duy's body were pushed past their limits. Tiny blood vessels burst beneath his skin, leaving streaks of red across his body.
To be honest, even though he had only opened five gates, the sheer disregard for bodily safety allowed him to tap into power on par with what the Sixth Gate would one day offer.
At that moment, this eternal genin—looked down upon by all—was unleashing combat strength close to Kage-level.
He stomped the ground, shattering it beneath his feet, and burst forward with such speed that it mimicked the Navy's Soru, crossing dozens of meters like a bullet.
The snow-covered terrain erupted in a whirlwind of white flurries behind him.
In an instant, he was back in front of Vergo, delivering a wide, sweeping roundhouse kick.
As someone overlooked his whole life, Might Duy had one true specialty: this single spinning kick. A technique that channeled his entire body's strength into his right leg—
Severe Leaf Hurricane!
Bang!
Vergo was knocked back two steps, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes. He hadn't expected this guy's speed to jump again.
By this point, while Vergo could still use Observation Haki to detect positions, his body was beginning to lag behind his senses.
It was the same as when he'd faced A and Killer Bee earlier—he activated the Iron Body of Rokushiki, hardening his muscles to the limit, enhancing his defense further with Armament Haki, turning himself into a walking fortress.
"Come on."
Vergo flashed a mocking grin and crooked his finger, beckoning Duy forward.
The next moment, a boot print exploded across his face—his signature sunglasses shattered into shards.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A rapid-fire assault echoed through the snowfield.
Like a streak of green lightning, Might Duy blurred around Vergo, striking again and again, stirring up a flurry of snow and creating a spiraling vortex of green and white.
Moments later, he skidded to a stop, gasping for breath, then shouted to A in the distance:
"Come on! Stand tall like a man—burn with youth!!"
"..."
Beating someone up together counts as manly?!
A was speechless.
Still, Duy's shout hit a nerve. A's competitive spirit surged—he grinned, clenched his fists, and ignored his wounds. Chakra surged, the Lightning Style Armor flaring around him once more.
Then he charged.
No way I'm letting some Konoha genin outdo me!
Watching through his system screen, Nawaki couldn't help but smile faintly.
This Might Duy… with his big brows and hot-blooded persona, turns out to be more clever than he looks.
Still, it made sense.
To develop a technique of this caliber—no matter how lacking in innate talent—he couldn't possibly be a fool.
As for those claims that "the Eight Gates were created by the Second Hokage and it took Might Duy twenty years to learn it"—Nawaki scoffed.
What a joke.
"Might" wasn't even a prestigious clan name. If the Eight Gates had really been created by Tobirama Senju, then as a top-level forbidden technique of the Senju Clan and Konoha, how could a thirty-something-year-old civilian genin have possibly accessed it?
Even someone as talented as Minato Namikaze only gained access to the Flying Thunder God Technique after becoming Jiraiya's personal disciple.

Elsewhere on the battlefield—
Seeing that Might Duy and A had successfully pinned down the enemy, Chiyo decisively pulled out an item she had exchanged for from the system store.
A summoning scroll activated—and with a puff of smoke, the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu appeared.
Her fingers danced.
Invisible chakra threads extended outward, manipulating the puppets in coordinated formation, and they launched an assault on Vergo from a distance.
At the same time, several of her puppets were tasked with carrying the now-awake Corazon and Law, quickly retreating from the battlefield.
Moments earlier, Chiyo had used Mystical Palm Technique to stabilize their injuries.
Things were finally looking up.
However…
---
It had been over twenty minutes since the fight began.
At the far edge of Minion Island, a pirate ship floated offshore.
Its flag depicted a skull—crossed out with a single line.
But now, that ship was nearly deserted.
A long trail of footprints led from the shore straight toward the island's center—Minion Town.
At the front of that trail walked a tall blond man, wearing a flamboyant pink feather coat, rose-tinted shades, and a crisp designer suit.
Donquixote Doflamingo.
A man born with the qualities of a king.
A user of Conqueror's Haki.
His face wore a chilling smile, but the bulging vein between his brows betrayed his inner rage.
"So even my dear little brother has betrayed me... forcing me to kill the last of my family..."
"That must mean, in this world—you all are the only family I have left."
Behind him walked ten bizarre and powerful figures—
The top officers of the Donquixote Pirates.
Suddenly, a young girl walking beside Doflamingo spoke up, holding a Transponder Snail in her hands.
"Young Master, Lord Vergo has reported in. A few mysterious figures suddenly appeared, blocked him, and took Corazon and Law!"
"Hmm?"
Doflamingo's eyes were hidden by his glasses, but the cold edge in his voice revealed his fury.
Without another word, he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his right hand.
After pausing for just a moment—
A massive burst of silken threads erupted from his palm, shooting into the sky like a volcanic blast.
As they reached a certain height, they fanned out—then rained down like a meteor shower.
Within seconds, the entire Minion Town was engulfed by an immense wire dome.
A colossal birdcage.
String-String Fruit: Birdcage!
Doflamingo's ultimate technique—
A wide-range imprisoning ability, severing all escape routes and turning the area into a death trap.
"Now... as long as they're still inside this town—there's no getting out."
He grinned wide, flashing a row of white teeth.
His smile was colder than the snow underfoot.

Author's Note (PS):
A lot of readers have been saying it's too one-dimensional having only Naruto-world Reincarnators.
I totally agree. A system god who only operates in one universe isn't worthy of the title!
That's why I've long since planned to introduce new Reincarnators—characters from the One Piece world will soon begin taking on missions in the Naruto world!
After Might Duy's arc wraps up, I'll give the main character and his big sister a few more daily-life chapters, and then we'll officially kick things off!
