Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

"Kurenai, of course."

That day just happened to be his arranged duel with Uchiha Idaka. After properly teaching the other party a lesson, he could reunite with Kurenai in the evening and have a child, thus gaining another trump card to deal with the Night of the Massacre. That would be a precious treasure chest, and no matter what reward it gave, it would be a trump card to survive the Night of the Massacre.

It would also allow him to completely conquer the lovely woman before him, conquering both her body and mind.

Even though he had already had physical contact with Kurenai now, since the relationship hadn't reached the final step, she couldn't fully be considered his woman.

Moreover, tonight's meeting with her would increase his chakra by 0.1 "Kakashi" units, which was already quite significant.

If they completely united, he wondered just how much more he could gain.

When Kurenai saw that Ryosuke agreed, her heart naturally bloomed with joy. She greedily hugged Ryosuke's body.

———

On the fifth day of the arranged duel with Uchiha Idaka, Ryosuke trained in the morning using the method taught by "One Punch Man" Saitama to improve his physical attributes.

In the afternoon, he naturally found Guy to continue learning the second gate of the Eight Gates technique to further enhance his strength.

Ryosuke easily found Guy because he was in one of those familiar places.

When Guy saw Ryosuke coming, there was a slight smile on his face. Knowing Ryosuke's diligent and hardworking character, he assumed Ryosuke had been training the first gate of the Eight Gates on his own.

He couldn't help but ask, "Ryosuke, how's your training going? Even if you haven't succeeded, there's no need to worry. Training the first gate of the Eight Gates can't be rushed."

From his interactions with Ryosuke, he knew Ryosuke was an impatient person. Otherwise, Ryosuke wouldn't have invented the taijutsu training method where getting hit makes one stronger.

Such a training method could be called masochistic. Only someone who craves power would invent such a method of training taijutsu.

Even so, no matter how hard Ryosuke trained, unlocking the first gate of the Eight Gates wouldn't be easy.

Back then, it had taken Guy two years to unlock the first gate.

However, Ryosuke smiled and said, "Yesterday, I already opened the first gate of the Eight Gates. I'm here now to learn the second gate."

Guy hadn't expected such an answer. It had taken him two years, and Ryosuke had only taken three days—this difference was simply too large.

He must have been even more diligent than Guy himself. When Guy had started training the first gate of the Eight Gates, he had been terrified of the pain. Therefore, he first trained his body, improved his physical fitness, and finally endured the pain to succeed.

Perhaps Ryosuke's physical condition now was much stronger compared to Guy's back then, making the first gate much easier for him.

However, the pain would not be reduced. Fear of pain was the essence of the Eight Gates technique and the way to train taijutsu. This kind of pain wasn't something ordinary people could bear, which is why the Eight Gates had never become widespread.

Even if it were promoted, it would be pointless because very few people could withstand such pain. Guy couldn't help but admire Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke, it seems you really are suited to train taijutsu."

"But after unlocking the first gate, don't rush into the next step of the Eight Gates training. It's better to consolidate your foundation first."

When Ryosuke heard this, he thought it made perfect sense.

After unlocking the first gate, he wasn't sure how long he could maintain it. To maintain it for a long time, he needed to be proficient.

Yesterday, after successfully opening the first gate, he had relaxed and met Red that evening.

Of course, it wasn't a waste of time—at least it had increased his chakra reserves.

Chakra reserves naturally affected the duration of the Eight Gates and the ability to open the subsequent gates. In the original story, Rock Lee had only managed to open up to the sixth gate by the finale. This was likely due to his relatively low chakra reserves.

Without a large amount of chakra, it would be impossible to support opening the seventh and eighth gates.

Following Guy's advice, Ryosuke focused on familiarizing himself with the first gate before moving on to the next step.

He refined his chakra and struck the first gate. The gate opened smoothly—this was his second time opening it. While he wasn't yet proficient, it didn't feel particularly difficult.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and his skin turned darker, indicating that he had opened the first gate.

His aura suddenly surged.

When Guy saw how easily Ryosuke opened the first gate, even though he already knew Ryosuke could open it, he was still shocked.

Now it was just a matter of seeing how long he could maintain it.

Ten minutes passed, and Ryosuke still maintained the first gate's state without any discomfort on his face.

This shocked Might Guy once again. When he had first opened the gate, he had only been able to maintain it for a minute before his body couldn't withstand the immense burden, and the gate had automatically closed. At that time, his chakra reserves hadn't been as large as they were now.

Half an hour passed, and Ryosuke still held the first gate open, though his face began to show signs of strain.

Even so, this was enough to shock Might Guy again. Ryosuke was indeed a taijutsu genius, even more suited than himself to learn the Eight Gates technique.

In just three days, he had managed to keep the first gate open for more than half an hour. This was enough to prove that Ryosuke had nearly mastered it. Of course, this was also related to his exceptional physical fitness.

Guy said, "Ryosuke, stop now. I'll teach you the second gate next."

Ryosuke immediately stopped refining his chakra, and the gate automatically closed. His face quickly returned to normal.

At that moment, he felt a sense of physical weakness—this was the aftereffect of the Eight Gates.

However, as his body grew stronger, he would no longer fear this kind of weakness caused by taijutsu.

As long as he controlled the total duration, ensuring his body didn't enter a weakened state, there would be no flaws.

Next, Guy began explaining the method for opening the second gate. Like the first gate, the chakra needed to break through the Healing Gate.

The Healing Gate was also located in the brain, but unlike the first gate on the right side, the Healing Gate was on the left side.

When Guy opened the Healing Gate, two veins bulged on his face, and his skin turned even darker than when he had opened the first gate.

Guy explained the Rest Gate's function, "The Healing Gate removes the limits on physical fatigue, over-extracting the body's energy to recover stamina and counteract the exhaustion caused by the first gate's energy consumption rate."

Ryosuke activated his Sharingan and clearly observed Guy's chakra flow and the position of the Healing Gate.

After resting for a while to recover his body, Ryosuke followed his previous experience and carefully refined chakra to strike the Healing Gate.

This way, he wouldn't faint immediately.

As his chakra struck the Healing Gate, the gate began to slowly open. The pain came rushing in like a tidal wave, even more intense than before when opening the first gate.

Thanks to the previous experience of enduring pain, he didn't faint this time.

Gritting his teeth, he persisted, continuing to refine his chakra and strike the Healing Gate. Opening the Healing Gate was even more painful and difficult.

Faced with this kind of pain, Ryosuke naturally gritted his teeth and endured it.

After an hour of training, his forehead was drenched with sweat.

When Guy saw how recklessly Ryosuke was training, his scalp couldn't help but tingle.

'So this was how Ryosuke trained?'

He didn't seem worried at all about whether opening the Healing Gate might damage his brain.

Even though Guy himself could endure hardship, he didn't dare to train like this. He advised, "Ryosuke, don't be reckless."

He genuinely feared that Ryosuke might cause irreparable harm to his body with this kind of training.

Ryosuke understood Guy's good intentions but stubbornly said, "It's fine. My body can handle it."

And indeed, it could. No matter how painful it was now, after a night's rest, his body would fully recover.

When Guy heard this, he couldn't help but be moved. Ryosuke's determination was beyond his imagination. Even though he was still worried, he could only let Ryosuke continue.

Perhaps, as Ryosuke said, his body truly could endure it. Even if it couldn't, Guy was there to watch over him and could quickly take him to the Konoha Hospital to prevent any irreversible damage.

For the entire afternoon, Ryosuke practiced opening the Rest Gate.

Might Guy watched over him, witnessing how hard Ryosuke pushed himself.
