Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Physical damage means cells are dying, but the number of cell divisions in the human body is finite.

Opening the Eight Gates undeniably shortens the lifespan by accelerating cellular death.

Even worse, Guy's chakra network was being damaged, which was the most dangerous part.

What startled Ishihara even more was that the chakra connecting him to Guy through the Life Chain was being quickly dispersed by the violent energy.

"Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder, Open!"

Boom!!!

With a roar, Guy unleashed a terrifying amount of chakra, blue steam enveloping his body as violent energy stormed outward like a raging wind, sweeping everything away.

Everything in the courtyard was blown apart, and Kakashi and Hiashi were forced to retreat.

Both stared at Guy in shock.

"This is the Eight Gates Technique... truly a terrifying forbidden jutsu!"

Hiashi, with his Byakugan, had seen everything even more clearly and was thoroughly alarmed.

This amount of chakra was beyond human.

He wasn't a match for this!

For a moment, Hiashi's gaze toward Guy changed.

The overwhelming energy continued to surge outwards.

"What's happening?!"

Countless people in Konoha were alarmed, their gazes focusing on Guy's location.

"That's where Ishihara is. Did something happen?"

Many faces turned pale as they rushed toward the scene.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Ishihara intently focused on analyzing Guy's current state.

His chakra was being rapidly dispersed, leaving him with little time.

"Hiss!!! Guy's chakra network and blood vessels are already at their limit. If he maintains this state any longer, they'll rupture."

"Yet his bodily functions have reached their peak. He's so strong!"

"And his body is squeezing his cells, refining an extraordinary amount of chakra. His cells are overburdened!"

Ishihara's heart tightened.

But he wasn't worried at all. Having dared to come to Konoha, he had naturally prepared well; he wasn't afraid of Guy turning against him.

Guy, exuding an overwhelming aura, looked at Ishihara and said in a deep voice:

"I can only open up to the Seventh Gate for now. The Eighth Gate is still beyond my reach!"

Ishihara nodded, narrowing his eyes. "No need to open the Eighth Gate. Just attempt it."

Kakashi's face changed drastically, but Guy nodded.

"Eighth Gate, Gate of Death, Open!"

Boom!!!

As Guy attempted to open the Eighth Gate, Ishihara could clearly see the gate trembling, as if it could open at any moment.

However, Ishihara sensed something different.

As the Gate of Death loosened, he could feel subtle changes occurring within Guy's cells.

"This state is similar to the secret technique I developed for the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"So that's how it works—it extracts all the life force from the body's cells at once!!!"

Ishihara's mind was shaken.

The human body contains a staggering number of cells, even in the Naruto world's settings—around 130 trillion cells. (TN: In reality, it's around 37 trillion)

The biological energy produced when all these cells simultaneously go from the peak of life to death would be terrifying!

It would be enough to carbonize the body!

The sheer power of this energy was completely uncontrollable!

Thus, once the Gate of Death is opened, there is no turning back. The user will continue to exhaust all their cells until they die!

This means that whoever performs the Eight Gates Formation will also die!

And that is the source of the Eight Gates Formation's immense power, as well as its price!

"Alright!"

Seeing that Might Guy had reached his limit, Ishihara quickly spoke.

Might Guy hurriedly stopped using the Eight Gates, and the searing pain instantly flooded his body, nearly causing him to collapse. Fortunately, Kakashi caught him just in time.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to go to the ninja hospital right away?"

Might Guy shook his head and looked at Ishihara, who was still watching him closely, his eyes full of desire.

He wanted to master the Eight Gates Formation and also hoped to overcome its drawbacks.

But he knew he couldn't do it himself, so he could only rely on Ishihara.

Seeing this, Kakashi remained silent. He and Hiashi Hyuga both watched Ishihara tensely, waiting quietly.

Ishihara was carefully observing every detail as Might Guy deactivated the gates.

In his mind, countless flashes of inspiration exploded.

"The Eight Gates wastes far too much chakra. If only it could be controlled."

"No, the chakra is too violent. It overflows because the body can't handle it! If it were contained inside, it would be even worse!"

"So the goal isn't to control the overflow, but to reduce the amount of chakra."

Ishihara frowned deeply.

The Eight Gates were like a dam—opening them was like a flood, and closing them was the barrier, but there was no sluice gate to control the flow.

Trying to control this violent chakra was extremely difficult.

"If there's none, I'll create one!"

"Each of the Eight Gates is formed by four valves in the chakra meridians. All I need to do is control the valves!"

"No, controlling the valves is too difficult, even for me!"

"Then I'll close the valves! During the activation of the Eight Gates, I'll keep some of the valves shut!"

"This way, the problem with the Gate of Death will also be solved! I can leave only one valve open when activating the Gate of Death!"

"But that's still not enough. Forcibly closing the Eight Gates might be beyond the user's ability. It would be best to add a jutsu or sealing technique for assistance!"

"The problem with the Gate of Death is solved!"

This burst of inspiration filled Ishihara with excitement and satisfaction.

"Besides solving the Gate of Death, I need to address the side effects of the Eight Gates Formation."

"I don't need to fix the issue of lifespan, but I can try to mitigate the damage done to the body!"

"If I gather the life energy that leaks out after opening the Third Gate, I can use it to quickly heal injuries, effectively performing medical ninjutsu!"

[You have exchanged knowledge and experience of the Eight Gates Formation with Might Guy, gaining enlightenment.]

[You have created the Secret Technique: Eight Gates Training Method.]

[You have created the Secret Technique: Eight Gates Sealing Technique.]

[You have created the Secret Technique: Life Energy Sealing Technique.]

[Eight Gates Training Method: This secret technique allows gradual control over the opening and closing of the Eight Gates, enabling the activation of the Eight Gates Formation.]

[Eight Gates Sealing Technique: By using seals, this technique controls the valves of the Eight Gates, regulating the power of the Eight Gates Formation.]

[Life Energy Sealing Technique: This technique seals the life energy that escapes from the body, storing it for critical moments to heal injuries.]

After digesting all this new information, a smile appeared on Ishihara's face.

The Eight Gates Training Method didn't need much explanation. It was a more targeted and professional version of the original Eight Gates.

The Eight Gates Sealing Technique could completely lock down the chakra within the body, forcibly closing the Gate of Death and breaking the rule that opening the Eighth Gate means certain death!

But it was the last technique that thrilled Ishihara the most.

"Isn't this just like Tsunade's Yin Seal?"
