Natsuki bought groceries at the market and went straight back to the Ninjutsu Shop.
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner Father-in-law just glanced at Natsuki and didn't speak, pretending to be watching the shop, but seemed to be waiting for something.
Natsuki almost couldn't help but laugh. This Ninjutsu Shop Owner Father-in-law was a doting father and naturally cared a lot about his daughter's situation. However, ever since Natsuki appeared, Tenten stopped telling her Ninjutsu Shop Owner Dad some things.
Especially after graduating and becoming a Ninja, Tenten told her Ninjutsu Shop Owner Dad even less.
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner was worried but didn't dare to ask. The only way was to find the answer from Natsuki.
Natsuki smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I've seen them. Tenten's squad teacher is very powerful, an Elite Jonin in the Village named Might Guy. Although Teacher Kai's image is a bit eccentric, he is warm-hearted and generous, and he particularly cares about his students. Also, Tenten's two teammates are also very strong. One of them is the Hyuga Clan's prodigy, and the other is also very skilled in combat.
Because Tenten is excellent at throwing Ninja Tools, her basic formation is with her two teammates in the front taking the lead, and Tenten supporting from the rear by throwing Ninja Tools, so she won't be in danger!"
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner secretly nodded after listening.
Having an Elite Jonin lead the squad indeed guarantees safety.
Furthermore, he didn't expect her to have a Hyuga Clan prodigy as a teammate, so there was even less to worry about.
After worrying for so many days, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, he soon felt a bit disheartened. His obedient daughter used to share her school routine with her dad, but now, even at the dinner table, she wouldn't share her Ninja routine with her dad.
It's all Natsuki's fault!
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner glared at Natsuki: "Got it. Go cook quickly. Tenten should be back soon!"
Natsuki naturally wouldn't argue with his Father-in-law. He carried the ingredients towards the kitchen. He didn't have time to stare at his Father-in-law right now; he was eager to look at the Eight Gates.
The rice was cooking, the main dish was simmering, and he finally had some free time.
Then he immediately took out the Eight Gates scroll and opened it with trembling hands.
The thing he had been thinking about for so long was finally in his hands!
Inside the scroll was a diagram of the human body, indicating the locations of the Eight Gates in the chakra pathway system. From the head downwards, they were the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Rest, The Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Closing, the Gate of Joy, the Gate of Wonder, and the Gate of Death. Beside the diagram were notes on the techniques for opening each gate.
This is a technique that removes the body's limitations on Chakra, allowing excess energy to be released, which can cause one's strength to erupt by several or even dozens of times.
It felt even more outrageous than the Kaio-ken setting in Dragon Ball.
It's worth mentioning that everyone has the Eight Gates. As long as their physical strength reaches a certain level, anyone can open the Eight Gates. The first three gates are relatively safe, only causing physical fatigue after use without harming the body. Starting from the Fourth Gate, the body will sustain damage, and once the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, is opened, while gaining terrifying power, the outcome is only death.
Excluding the Eighth Gate, the first seven gates are well worth it, exchanging physical stress and damage for powerful strength.
"Tenten's cells have been activated by my electric shocks over the years, and her physical strength isn't bad. Opening up to the Third Gate shouldn't be a problem. Coupled with powerful Ninja Tools, it should be enough to handle an Elite Jonin, right? I still need to remind her that she's only allowed to open up to the Third Gate. However, just in case, I should give her two senzu beans. In an emergency, she can open the later gates (excluding the Gate of Death), and just eat the senzu beans immediately afterward. Sigh, as a boyfriend, I'm really worrying myself sick."
Natsuki muttered to himself, then thought about his own current situation.
When he competed against Kai in pure Taijutsu before, he felt he was still quite a bit behind Kai, not just in combat experience, but also in physical strength.
This is quite normal, after all, Kai has been working hard on his body since he was a child, without interruption for twenty to thirty years.
Even if Natsuki has cheats like the gravity training room, it is difficult to surpass him in just a few years, not to mention Natsuki is still young.
However, Natsuki's current physique is already strong enough; if he opens the Seventh Gate, he definitely has Shadow Level strength!
"Not enough! Still not enough! What I want is more than this! At the very least, before the Fourth Shinobi World War, I want to be able to kick Six Paths Madara to pieces just by opening the Seventh Gate!
My body is eleven years old now.
After graduating from the Ninja Academy next year, I won't have to worry about my body and can adjust the gravity to the human limit for crazy extra training.
At worst, I'll consume some senzu bean, and I don't believe I can't achieve my goal!"
Natsuki had a plan in mind and continued to read through the contents of the scroll again.

In addition to the human body diagrams and opening gate techniques, there are also some moves, such as Wood Leaf Whirlwind, Wood Leaf Great Whirlwind, Front Lotus, Reverse Lotus, Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, and so on, but there is no Evening Elephant and Night Guy; those are moves after opening the Gate of Death, which Might Guy probably didn't dare to record, or perhaps he didn't even know them himself.
Some things are only known when one reaches that level.
The moves of the Gate of Death can perhaps only be understood after opening the Gate of Death.
However, the principles of these moves are very clear.
There's nothing to say about Front Lotus and Reverse Lotus; they are just relying on speed for rapid attacks, and as long as the speed is reached, there is basically not much technique.
Morning Peacock, on the other hand, is to throw high-speed straight punches that friction the air to form flame shockwaves, while Daytime Tiger is to concentrate at one point to compress the air and form a tiger-shaped air cannon.
.... .... ...
Simply put, it is to utilize the air with powerful strength, whether by frictioning the air or compressing the air, it can unleash terrifying power, making it versatile for both long-range and close combat.
Even after Might Guy opened the Gate of Death, he could even distort space, showing how strong he was.
No wonder Six Paths Madara called him the strongest in taijutsu; he was truly almost kicked to death.
If it weren't for Hashirama cells saving him, it would have been the end.
"Hehe! When the time comes, after Kai finishes kicking, I'll follow up and add another kick, directly at his head.
I don't believe Hashirama cells can revive you then!
However, the Eighth Gate is truly dangerous.
I wonder if senzu bean can save him.
Senzu bean doesn't seem to work on soul damage, but opening the Eighth Gate damages the physical body, and the soul seems fine, so is it possible to hold a senzu bean in my mouth while opening the Gate of Death?"
Natsuki considered this possibility, thinking that if he ever encountered a deadly situation in the future, he might be able to try it.
Of course, he would find an opportunity to give Teacher Kai a senzu bean in the future, reminding him to definitely remember to hold it in his mouth if he really opens the Gate of Death, and to be careful not to shout the senzu bean out when roaring, as it is a life-saving item.
In the original work, although Teacher Kai didn't die after opening the Gate of Death, he ended up permanently disabled, and basically had no role in Boruto, which is a great pity.
Even if only to repay the kindness of teaching him Eight Gates, Natsuki would never let Teacher Kai end up like that.
Moreover, Teacher Kai is Tenten's teacher, and to prevent Tenten from being sad, Teacher Kai cannot have an accident!predict.
