"A new idea?"
Matt Kai looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"Yes."
Kiyoshi closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them!
The chakra around him, which had calmed down, surged again, but this time, it wasn't blue steam, but...
boom!
A blood-red steam that was far more violent than blue steam!
"The Gate of Death?"
Might Guy and Might Day were instantly stunned.
No, it was just a friendly sparring match. Why would Kiyoshi need to use the Death Gate?
And didn't Kiyoshi win?
Why would you open the door to death for a suicidal father?
"Kiyoshi, why did you..."
Might Guy couldn't help but call out Kiyoshi's name, completely unable to understand what was happening.
Might Guy had the same expression as Might Guy, but Might Guy was more experienced and had decades of research in physical combat.
"Kai, it seems that Kiyoshi is not using the Eighth Gate as we understand it."
Matt Day took a few breaths and pointed ahead.
Kiyoshi remained calm.
This blood-red steam is not simply combustion; rather, it carries a sense of being forcibly restrained, as heavy and oppressive as lava.
In particular, Kiyoshi's skin did not show any signs of tearing or burning.
This is precisely the state of "sealing the gate" in Kiyoshi's initial attempt at the ninth gate!
Using the chakra stored in the "Yin Seal" as "fuel" and "buffer", and strengthening its carrying capacity with "physical activation" and forbidden regeneration techniques.
Then, using his superior sealing skills, he constructed a temporary "shackle" to forcibly touch the power of the Death Gate, but delayed and dispersed its backlash!
"It feels like a death gate... but it's not the same!"
Matt Kai was also incredibly shocked.
Naruto and Sasuke, who were in the distance, were so shocked by this sudden change that they were speechless.
The oppressive feeling emanating from the crimson steam far surpassed that of the previous blue beam of light, causing them to catch their breath.
Kiyoshi didn't look at anyone. He slowly raised his right fist, which was wrapped in blood-red steam, and pointed it at the azure sky above.
The crimson steam around him frantically converged and compressed towards his fist, as if he were holding a crimson sun about to explode.
Then, he gently pushed his fist towards the sky.
No sound.
Or rather, the sound was left behind by the ultimate power.
A massive, condensed, blood-red dragon-shaped phantom silently soared into the sky!
Wherever it passed, the atmosphere was instantly emptied, leaving a vacuum channel, and the thick clouds were easily torn apart like fragile veils.
Only after the blood-red dragon-shaped phantom disappeared into the distance did the belated, terrifying roar suddenly erupt!
A violent shockwave, like a tangible tsunami, crashed down from the sky, causing the trees throughout the Death Forest to sway wildly and leaves to fall like a torrential rain.
In the sky, the once boundless sea of clouds was blasted into a huge hole!
The sunlight poured down without obstruction, forming a magnificent halo around the hollow.
At the edge of the forest, a deathly silence fell, broken only by the mournful sound of the wind.
A few seconds later, Naruto jumped up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, waving his arms and his voice trembling as he excitedly exclaimed:
"Look... did you see that, Sasuke? The sky... the sky has been pierced!"
"This...this is amazing! It's a million times more powerful than Rasengan or Chidori! I have to learn it! I, Naruto Uzumaki, swear I will learn this technique! Taijutsu is the strongest!"
Sasuke was also deeply shocked by this earth-shattering attack, his heart pounding wildly. However, he quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, habitually crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and tried to maintain a cool expression.
"Hmph, you loser, don't even dream about it. This level of technique has very strict requirements on chakra and physical strength. With your reckless personality, you wouldn't even get close to the basics even if you practiced for a hundred years."
"Who are you calling a loser?!"
Naruto immediately bristled, jumped up, and pointed at Sasuke.
"I'm going to be Hokage! I, Naruto Uzumaki, am determined to learn this powerful force that can protect everyone!"
"Hmph, the Hokage doesn't rely on a loud voice."
Sasuke gave him a cold glance.
After saying that, Sasuke subconsciously touched his eye socket, a hint of smugness and superiority appearing on his face.
Thinking to himself, "As for me, I possess the Byakugan from my father's noble bloodline, which allows me to perceive the flow of chakra within my body and see every pressure point. Naturally, I can cultivate this advanced taijutsu much faster than Naruto. The difference between us is determined by our bloodline."
He had already begun to imagine himself activating the Byakugan, mastering this amazing taijutsu, and defeating Naruto.
In the arena, Might Day and Might Guy looked up at the huge hole in the sky and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, Might Guy let out a long breath, his gaze towards Kiyoshi filled with boundless admiration, and said:
"This...this is so youthful, Kiyoshi, you are the most talented taijutsu ninja I have ever seen."
Matt Kai was moved to tears, and gave a thumbs up, his teeth flashing a dazzling white light.
"This is the ultimate level of burning youth! I, Might Guy, will continue to work hard and will never fall too far behind!"
At the same time, in Konoha Village.
Whether busy ninjas or leisurely villagers, everyone was alarmed by the blood-red dragon-shaped phantom that pierced the heavens and the huge cloud hole that subsequently exploded in the sky.
"Look at the sky!"
"The cloud...the cloud has been blasted open, leaving a huge hole!"
"What was that red light just now? Was it a Tailed Beast Ball?"
"No, the direction is the Death Forest! Is someone cultivating there? That's terrifying!"
The shadowy figures moved swiftly across the rooftops, heading out to investigate.
At home, Mikoto, who was trimming flowers and plants in the courtyard, and Kushina, who was carrying tea and snacks, both stopped what they were doing and looked out the window at the unusual sky.
Kushina blinked, then smiled, put down the plate in her hand, and put her hands on her hips, saying:
"Oh dear, Kiyoshi has caused such a commotion in the Forest of Death again. Has he even made a hole in the sky this time? He's such a worry."
Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes gentle yet knowing, and said softly:
"Yes, besides him, no one else could have such methods."
Mikoto was already used to the grand spectacle that man would occasionally create, and felt only a faint sense of pride.
In the Forest of Death, the chilling crimson steam surrounding Kiyoshi slowly subsided and eventually disappeared.
His expression remained unchanged, as if the earth-shattering blow had not consumed much of his strength.
Kiyoshi looked at Matt Dae and his son, who were still in shock and excitement, and calmly spoke:
"The ultimate goal of physical combat shouldn't be just tragic mutual destruction. It can utilize sealing techniques to mitigate the side effects. This is the path I'm currently taking. I call this still-improving step... 'Sealing the Gate.'"
Kiyoshi's tone was indifferent.
Actually, this should only be considered as half a step into the Nine Gates.
Kiyoshi did not fully activate that state, and was subjected to some force.
Even if the experiment fails, he will at most be injured, not killed.
With his healing abilities and medical ninjutsu, he will recover quickly.
"Lord Hokage, what technique did you use?"
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Sasuke was the first to run over and ask Kiyoshi.
Sasuke tried to keep his voice steady, but his slightly faster pace betrayed his feelings.
He also made a point of getting very close to Qing Si.
Although he couldn't explicitly say that Kiyoshi was his father, Sasuke wanted to assert his dominance in this way and show off to Naruto.
"Well, let's call that move 'Daytime Dragon'."
Qingsi smiled slightly.
"Day Dragon" counters "Night Kai".
Each move in the "Eight Gates Formation" actually has a corresponding move.
"Morning Peacock", "Daytime Tiger", "Evening Elephant", "Night Triumph".
Morning, day, evening, and night are actually just a period of time from early morning to late at night.
Qing Si clearly called it "Day Dragon," but actually meant it would never end.
Because this technique doesn't require burning everything you have, but rather a gradual, sustained approach.
Like the rising sun, full of youthful vigor.
"Could you teach me?"
Naruto walked over shamelessly.
"If you want to learn, I'm happy to teach you, but it would be best if you signed a summoning contract first."
Kiyoshi looked at his two sons, Naruto and Sasuke.
He first bent down to treat Might Guy and Might Dai, then used Earth Release ninjutsu to repair the damaged terrain and used Wood Release to replant some trees.
"Kai, Mr. Dai, I'll take Naruto and Sasuke with me now."
"You go ahead."
Matt Day nodded slightly.
After Qing Si's treatment, his complexion has improved a lot.
The same applies to Matt Kay.
Seeing this, Kiyoshi, carrying Naruto in his left hand and Sasuke in his right, disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had arrived at a place shrouded in mist.
"This is Ryuchi Cave."
Qingsi spoke.
"Dragon Cave?"
Naruto and Sasuke neither understood Kiyoshi's meaning.
"This is one of the three holy sites."
Qing Si explained.
When he came, Kiyoshi had considered whether to sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave for Hinata as well.
After thinking about it, he felt that Shikkotsu Forest was more suitable for Hinata.
In critical moments, slugs can even heal Hinata.
Naruto and Sasuke will obviously be stronger than Hinata in the future, so there is no need for them to go to Shikkotsu Forest.
"so big."
Naruto sighed.
Sasuke remained silent, which was tacitly agreeing with Naruto's statement.
Before the three of them lay a magnificent complex of buildings, with a plaque bearing the three powerful characters "Longdi Cave" hanging above the main entrance.
The entire palace-like building was adorned with countless yellow lanterns, each bearing the character "dragon" clearly written on it, emitting a soft glow in the dim light.
