Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

After bidding farewell to Guy, Ryosuke returned to the clan's compound to wash up properly. However, his mental state improved considerably, and the sense of dizziness faded.

After eating dinner at home, he walked onto the street and headed toward Kurenai's house.

Naturally, it was necessary to interact with Kurenai more; without interaction, how could stories happen? Moreover, Kurenai was also willing to go out and hang out with him.

In front of Kurenai's house, as expected, he saw Kurenai in another set of kimono attire, very stunning.

Seeing Ryosuke approach slowly, a faint trace of joy appeared on Kurenai's face. After last night's events, her relationship with Ryosuke improved even more.

Being with him brought a very comfortable feeling.

When Ryosuke got closer, Kurenai noticed his slightly pale complexion and asked with great concern.

"Ryosuke, what's wrong with you?"

Ryosuke waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just training in a slightly difficult taijutsu."

Although the Eight Gates technique was extremely difficult to train, he didn't plan to tell Kurenai, to avoid making her worry.

Hearing this, Kurenai guessed that Ryosuke had been training hard with Guy, engaging in crazy taijutsu practice. This was a regular occurrence, something a girl like her really couldn't get involved in.

Still, she said with concern, "Then, when you're training in the future, take care of your body. Don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay, I'll be careful," Ryosuke agreed.

———

Ryosuke and Kurenai wandered around Konoha's streets as usual.

At this time, the two of them were walking side by side. Ryosuke inhaled the fragrance wafting from Kurenai, feeling deeply satisfied.

Kurenai, unlike last night, did not reach out to hold Ryosuke's hand. There were too many people on the street, and she felt a bit shy about doing so.

Ryosuke likewise refrained from any overly intimate gestures. After all, he didn't want to openly flaunt their affection or draw attention by showing off, as flaunting love often leads to disaster.

The two continued walking along the street, going farther and farther until they reached a quieter street. Only then did Kurenai take the initiative to grab Ryosuke's left hand and place it against her chest.

Through his arm, Ryosuke immediately felt that pair of soft bunnies he could play with for a year, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

The pain from the Eight Gates training receded from his memory like a tide. Unexpectedly, soft bunnies had such an effect.

At this moment, Kurenai's face was slightly red. Even though something like that had already happened last night, this was still her private area.

Last night, being touched by Ryosuke felt very comfortable; she couldn't help but wonder if he would think she was too loose now.

So she carefully observed Ryosuke's expression, and when she saw no trace of displeasure and instead a smile on his face, Kurenai became happier and squeezed his hand even tighter.

The places Ryosuke took her to were, of course, under his control. They ended up in that slightly dim but still softly lit small grove.

Ryosuke started initiating a kiss because, after all, Kurenai had already been so forward. Naturally, Kurenai didn't refuse—this was what she had been looking forward to.

This time, Ryosuke only engaged in simple intimacy with her, without rushing to take the next step.

On one hand, his condition wasn't great due to the Eight Gates training earlier that day. On the other hand, he wanted their relationship to naturally progress to the next stage.

With Kurenai being so proactive, there was no way she could escape from his grasp.

While enjoying Kurenai's body, Ryosuke heard the system notification sound.

[Your spirit is extremely excited; chakra increased by 0.1 card.]

0.1 card is equivalent to 0.1 of Kakashi's chakra reserve.

Such an increase was already very significant. If he could have moments of intimacy with Kurenai 1,000 times, his chakra reserve would instantly reach 100 cards.

That would be equivalent to the total chakra reserve of Naruto plus Kurama's chakra.

By then, he wouldn't have to worry about being low on chakra and could unleash jutsu freely.

But 1,000 times? Even if he did it every day without stopping, it would take three years.

After being intimate with Kurenai for several hours, Ryosuke walked her home, and naturally, he also went home to rest.

On the Third Day of the Duel with Uchiha Idaka

Early in the morning, Ryosuke woke up, feeling his brain extremely refreshed, completely free from the pain caused by yesterday's Eight Gates training. There were no aftereffects at all.

If not for the vivid memory of yesterday's excruciating pain, he might even think it was just an illusion.

The reason for his current condition was likely due to the increase in his physical stats.

The stronger the body, the faster the recovery.

Having experienced how difficult the Eight Gates were to train, Ryosuke now understood why this first-class taijutsu technique was in the hands of someone like Guy, a mere chunin, and why no one had tried to steal it.

It was for a reason.

At the same time, Ryosuke felt fortunate. Luckily, the system boosted his physical stats and recovery ability, making it possible to master the Eight Gates quickly.

For others, the Eight Gates were an impossible challenge. But with his physical advantage, Ryosuke could repeatedly attempt to open the gates without worrying about the pain's side effects.

That morning, he went back to Ichiraku Ramen and ordered a large serving with all kinds of toppings.

Even the shop owner, Teuchi, looked at him with surprise.

Because there were no other customers like Ryosuke who would come in first thing in the morning and order such a huge portion, piled into a big bowl with all the toppings.

Still, Teuchi was inwardly delighted. Having a customer like this not only boosted his revenue but also affirmed his ramen's quality.

Perhaps it was because the Eight Gates training yesterday was so exhausting, consuming too much energy, that Uchiha Ryosuke directly finished this large bowl of ramen, and his stomach didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Walking toward the small grove in the clan's territory, he began training according to the training method of One Punch Man.

At the same time, this strange scene was observed by members of the Anbu. This kid had been training here for over a month, so the Anbu members decided to report it to the Hokage.

Ever since the Nine-Tails incident in Konoha, the Third Hokage had ordered them to constantly monitor the area around the Uchiha clan's territory, reporting any unusual activity to him.

'This kind of thing should count as unusual, right?'

After all, for a member of the Uchiha clan to practice taijutsu so diligently, it was indeed a bit strange.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was smoking his pipe while listening to the report from the Anbu ninja below.

His face showed a hint of doubt. Uchiha Ryosuke—wasn't he the one who clashed with his son?

And now, he's mingling with Might Guy, training in taijutsu.

He was a member of the "evil" Uchiha clan. What exactly was his reason for doing this?

He searched his memory, trying to figure out what Ryosuke wanted to gain from Guy.

But it seemed like there wasn't anything particularly valuable about Guy.

After all, Guy didn't have a family background or clan influence. He was just a civilian ninja, and even his strength wasn't considered top-tier. As for his taijutsu, it was just decent.

Thinking about taijutsu, the Hokage suddenly remembered that man from four years ago—Might Duy. His expression changed slightly.

Although that man was just a genin, after activating the forbidden Eight Gates technique, he directly killed four elite members of the Hidden Mist Village's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

When he first received this news, even he was shocked. Because even if he, the Hokage, were to face the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he would need to proceed cautiously in order to take down one or two of them without sustaining injuries.

In fact, if the Seven Ninja Swordsmen cooperated well and acted prudently, it would already be remarkable if he could protect himself.

Might Duy's ability to achieve such an astonishing feat was entirely thanks to the overwhelming power of the Eight Gates technique.

With all eight gates open, one could even surpass his Hokage-level strength.

When he thought about this, his brows furrowed deeply. Could the "evil" Uchiha clan be trying to obtain this forbidden technique?

But without 20 years of training, it was absolutely impossible to reach the advanced level of gate-opening. Even the lower levels of gate-opening only provided mediocre enhancements.

Additionally, this technique was extremely difficult to train in. After receiving information about it, even he had tried to learn it in the past.

But it had been unbearably painful—so painful that he gave up. Even now, recalling the needle-like stabbing pain gave him vivid memories.

His strength was already sufficient, so he didn't need to study the Eight Gates further, and eventually, he abandoned it.

This kid from the Uchiha clan was so young. Even with diligent practice and indomitable willpower, it would take him 20 years to achieve anything substantial.

Although this technique was powerful, it had very obvious side effects.

Opening all eight gates meant certain death, and using it caused a noticeable state of weakness. These were fatal flaws.

Thinking about this, the Third Hokage's furrowed brows relaxed as he continued smoking his pipe.

Perhaps he was wrong. The boy likely didn't intend to learn this taijutsu technique. After all, as far as he knew, 99.9% of those who trained in this technique failed.

And the only successful person was Might Duy.

Even someone as talented as himself, the Hokage, had failed. There weren't many people in the world who could master it.

The Third Hokage felt that there was no need to pay attention to this matter anymore.
