Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 275: Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, Night Guy

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, Night Guy

One month later.

Konoha and Kumogakure Frontline Main Camp.

Sora’s figure appeared at a special training field near the camp.

He first glanced at Tagitsuhime, who was following far behind with a well-behaved appearance. His brow slightly furrowed, and he waved his hand.

"You stay further away. You are not allowed to approach or probe without my permission."

The charming smile on Tagitsuhime’s face remained unchanged as she obediently gave a slight bow.

"Understood, Master."

After saying this, she walked to a spot not far away.

Only then did Sora turn and walk towards the center of the training field.

There, two figures wearing identical green spandex suits and having the same bowl-cut hairstyles were engaged in high-intensity taijutsu sparring amidst passionate shouts and the whistling of fists.

They were none other than Might Duy and Might Guy, father and son.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

"Not fast enough! Guy! Your youth isn’t burning brightly enough yet!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sounds of fists and feet connecting were incessant, filled with an aura of power and passion.

Sora did not disturb them, standing quietly to the side and watching.

Only when the father and son paused their sparring to catch their breath did he walk over.

"Duy-san, Guy."

"Oh! It’s Sora!"

Might Duy gave a thumbs-up, flashing his bright white teeth. "Long time no see! Your youth still shines so brilliantly!"

"Sora!"

Guy also ran over excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration. "I heard you fought the Third Raikage to a standstill before? That’s amazing!"

Sora smiled and asked,

"How have you two been lately? Looking at the situation here, it seems to have eased up a lot."

Might Duy replied,

"Yeah, the Kumo guys have shifted their focus. The pressure here has lessened a lot. Guy’s team just finished a mission nearby, so it’s perfect timing to burn our youth!"

"That’s right!"

Guy nodded forcefully, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Neither my father nor I will slack off! Someday, I’ll become as strong as my father and you, Sora!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries and asking about each other’s recent situations, Sora steered the conversation towards his main purpose for today.

"Duy-san, regarding the Eight Gates, I have some questions I’d like to ask."

"Beyond the basic increases in speed and strength after opening the gates, I’ve noticed that it seems different numbers of gates, combined with specific power application techniques and chakra manipulation, can form unique moves with greater destructive power?"

Upon hearing this, Might Duy’s eyes lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Oh! Sora, you’ve noticed it too, haven’t you!"

He slapped his chest emphatically and said excitedly,

"That’s right! The Eight Gates Release Technique is far more than just a simple enhancement of physical abilities! According to our ancestors’ records and some of our own exploration, there indeed exist some techniques that maximize the power unleashed after opening the gates!"

"For example, in the state of the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View, striking the air at ultra-high speed with straight punches to create a flame shockwave, ’Morning Peacock’!"

Might Duy explained while gesturing,

"I’ve mostly mastered this move already."

Guy, standing beside him, added, "Father’s Morning Peacock is incredibly powerful!"

Sora nodded. He had witnessed this move in previous battles, and its power was already formidable.

"So, what about the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder, and the legendary Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death? Do they also have corresponding moves?"

Mentioning the Seventh and Eighth Gates, Might Duy’s expression became a bit more serious.

"As for the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder..."

He stroked his chin, his bushy eyebrows furrowing. "I do have some preliminary ideas."

"After opening the Gate of Wonder, the chakra becomes incredibly狂暴, like raging waves. I’ve tried to extremely compress this vast amount of chakra and then release it instantaneously, forming an attack like an air cannon..."

"I temporarily call it ’Daytime Tiger’, but it’s still very unrefined. I’ve tried it a few times. The power is great, but controlling its form and the chakra consumption are both problems."

"As for the Eighth Gate..."

Might Duy shook his head, a trace of gravity appearing on his face.

"That is the final gate that burns one’s life. The level of power is completely different. Regarding its techniques, there are only some very vague ancestral legends, involving speed and power that surpass limits. The specific form... is completely unknown."

"That is a forbidden realm. It must never be touched unless it’s absolutely the last resort."

Sora fell into thought.

Recalling Guy’s stunning, nearly world-ending performance from the original work in his mind, he formed a plan.

"Duy-san, regarding the techniques for the Seventh and Eighth Gates, I have some immature ideas. Perhaps they could serve as a reference."

"Oh? Please, tell us!"

Might Duy and Guy both leaned in closer simultaneously, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They had great faith in Sora’s strength and insight.

Sora spoke thoughtfully,

"Regarding the Seventh Gate’s ’Daytime Tiger’, Duy-san’s idea of compressing chakra to form an air cannon is, I believe, very correct."

"Perhaps, at the moment of release, you could give it a fixed form, like... the form of a fierce tiger?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Shaping the extremely compressed chakra and air into a tiger-shaped shockwave possessing powerful impact and tearing effects might better concentrate the power and reduce unnecessary diffusion losses."

As Might Duy listened, he suddenly slapped his thigh!

"That’s right! Shaping! Giving it a form! To concentrate the power more! Why didn’t I think of that! Sora, you’re a genius!"

Guy also excitedly waved his fists,

"The form of a fierce tiger! It sounds so powerful just hearing about it! This is the essence of youth!"

Sora felt a bit embarrassed by their praise. These were clearly things the father and son duo would develop later; he was just spoiling it in advance.

He cleared his throat lightly and continued,

"As for the Eighth Gate... since it transforms life into flames, pursuing ultimate speed and destructive power."

"Perhaps the techniques also lean more towards these two extremes."

"For example, movement and attacks surpassing the speed of sound. Each punch thrown would create a massive air cannon, like a giant elephant stomping, shaking heaven and earth..."

"It could be called ’Evening Elephant’."

"And finally, burning everything away, transforming into a red dragon that pierces through everything, delivering a final, all-out strike..."

"It could be called ’Night Guy’."

Sora’s voice wasn’t loud, but the two names, "Evening Elephant" and "Night Guy", seemed to carry a certain magic, causing Might Duy and Might Guy to hold their breath instantly.

Both their eyes became somewhat dazed, as if they were simulating those world-destroying scenes in their minds.

After a long while, Might Duy finally let out a long exhale, his eyes filled with shock and excitement.

"Evening Elephant... Night Guy... surpassing the speed of sound... a red dragon..."

"Sora! Your ideas are astonishing! This is practically drawing the most perfect blueprint for the final brilliance of the Eight Gates Release Technique!"

"Even though it’s just a conceptual discussion, the inspiration it gives me is immense!"

Guy was also flushed with excitement,

"Evening Elephant! Night Guy! So cool! Is this the ultimate romance of taijutsu?"

"Father! We must strive towards this direction!"

Might Duy nodded, embracing Guy with tears streaming down his face.

"This is the essence of youth! x2"
