Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

However, even under full-force attacks, it didn't immediately make Ryosuke's clone dissipate.

It seemed Ryosuke had allocated a large amount of chakra to this clone.

Not long after, Idaka defeated Ryosuke's clone, which turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.

Ryosuke, seeing Idaka defeat his clone, naturally knew this was his true body.

He didn't immediately launch an attack but instead stood quietly.

Likewise, Idaka didn't initiate an attack because he couldn't think of a way to defeat Ryosuke.

The opponent had directly split apart his proud Fireball Jutsu.

Taijutsu wasn't even worth considering.

As for genjutsu, he had already tried it, but the opponent's Sharingan eye power surpassed his, rendering his genjutsu ineffective.

Moreover, Ryosuke now overwhelmed him comprehensively and had even grown cautious in his combat approach, making it almost impossible for Idaka to catch him off guard.

He sighed and said, "I concede."

It was a bit disappointing—this time was an even worse defeat than before, to the point where he couldn't even force Ryosuke to reveal his full strength.

On the other hand, Ryosuke now had a general understanding of his strength.

Defeating a Jonin was a breeze for him; with the Four Gates opened and strength multiplied fourfold, he should be able to spar with a Kage-level powerhouse.

Logically speaking, that was just his intuition. Whether or not he truly could, he wasn't entirely sure.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to seek out a Kage-level powerhouse to test himself properly.

Among the village's Kage-level powerhouses, there were undoubtedly the Third Hokage and Danzo.

If he sought out either of them, it would undoubtedly be a one-sided loss.

Thinking about this, if he couldn't look for outsiders, then perhaps his clan's leader would be a possibility.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he should at least be near Kage-level in strength, even if not quite at that level.

What's more, he had unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan.

However, even if they fought, the clan leader, Fugaku, likely wouldn't activate his Mangekyo Sharingan, right?

In the original storyline, Fugaku never used the Mangekyo Sharingan, even during the clan's annihilation.

Still, even without it, Fugaku was someone worth sparring with to test his current strength.

Ryosuke turned his gaze toward Idaka, who was still standing there.

"If there's nothing else, you should leave."

He wasn't too keen on having others observe his training.

Uchiha Idaka hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

"Ryosuke, could you teach me the Eight Gates technique?"

Although his strength wasn't as good as Ryosuke's now, he felt more excited than disheartened.

Of course, he also wanted to become stronger.

Ryosuke glanced at him and saw that he wanted to learn the Eight Gates.

If it were some other overwhelmingly powerful technique, he might hesitate to teach him.

But when it came to the Eight Gates, there was no need to overthink.

If he could learn it, that would be his skill.

Besides, Idaka was his clan member.

He spoke. "I can teach you. Whether or not you can learn it depends on you."

Hearing this, Uchiha Idaka's face lit up with a smile. "Thanks."

Ryosuke began explaining. "Next, I'll explain what the Eight Gates technique is."

"The Eight Gates is a type of taijutsu that temporarily grants tremendous power by unlocking the body's chakra-restricting pathways."

"In the chakra flow network, there are eight points that suppress and control the body's chakra, namely the Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death."

"These eight gates place a limit on the amount of chakra in the body. However, the Eight Gates technique can forcibly break through this limit, drawing out tenfold the original power."

After explaining, Ryosuke looked at Idaka.

"Do you understand?"

Idaka nodded and said, "I understand."

It seemed quite simple—unlock the restrictors, release chakra, and gain immense strength.

Seeing that Idaka understood, Ryosuke proceeded to the next step. "Since you understand, I'll demonstrate it once. Use your Sharingan to observe the direction of my chakra flow and pinpoint the location of the first gate, the Gate of Opening."

After speaking, he clenched his fists and refined chakra, directing it toward the Gate of Opening on the left side of his head. In an instant, he unlocked it.

This caused Ryosuke's forehead veins to bulge, his skin to darken, and his body to emit a powerful aura.

He said slowly, "Did you see clearly?"

Idaka activated his full ocular power, observing every movement Ryosuke made. It seemed straightforward enough.

"I saw it clearly."

Hearing this, Ryosuke continued, "Since you understand, the next step is to close the Gate of Opening."

"This step is quite simple. As long as you stop refining chakra, the Gate of Opening will close automatically."

Then, Ryosuke ceased his chakra refinement, causing his body's aura to return to normal, the veins on his forehead to disappear, and his skin tone to lighten.

Seeing the straightforward operation of the first gate of the Eight Gates, Idaka couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

He quickly asked, "What about the other gates? Ryosuke, can you explain them to me?"

Ryosuke gave him a side-eye. "Learn the first gate first. For now, replicate what I just did and give it a try."

Idaka didn't rush to learn the remaining gates but followed Ryosuke's instructions.

He refined chakra and directed it toward the Gate of Opening.

Initially, the refined chakra was insufficient, and the Gate of Opening didn't budge.

So, he increased the amount of chakra, causing the Gate of Opening to crack slightly.

But with it came intense pain in his head.

"It hurts!"

He immediately stopped refining chakra.

Idaka looked shocked—how could it hurt so much?

Recalling the earlier pain, he hesitated to continue practicing the Eight Gates.

Compared to other jutsu, whether ninjutsu or genjutsu, some were difficult, but with enough practice and his talent, they weren't too challenging—especially since he had the Sharingan.

But training the Eight Gates made his scalp tingle.

No wonder elder Hachiyo had told him not to harbor illusions about this technique.

The difficulty was truly immense, and this was only the first gate.

Ryosuke, seeing his reaction, remarked, "You followed the steps correctly. Do you still want to continue?"

Idaka hesitated briefly. The difficulty of the Eight Gates training genuinely made him reconsider.

After thinking for a long while, he finally said, "I'll keep going. Ryosuke, you succeeded, so I believe I can too."

Ryosuke was slightly stunned. His own success was largely due to his increasingly strong body, which could endure the pain, and his ability to recover.
