Chapter 233: Eight Gates!

—

"Youth! I never thought of using Shadow Clones to train like this!"

"Guy-sensei, it's not as if you have enough chakra to do this anyway. That's probably why you never cared to think."

Guy, Lee, Tenten, and Hanabi watched as 100 of Neji's clones all activated up to Fourth Gates simultaneously.

Neji now had 100,700 MP, so he had more than enough energy to cast these many clones without any worry, and since shadow clones carried over bloodline power, their Draconic High Human race made them durable enough to withstand the opening of Four gates. These clones also weren't under his Gamer's Body or Mind, so they were training individually, and once the clones would be cast off, they would all return experience to Neji.

That's what happened a few hours later.

Today, the 4th day after Neji started training for Eight Gates, Guy had returned. Just after returning, he taught Neji how to open up to the Fourth Gates.

[Skill: Eight Gates (Active)

Level: 36

Details: The user uses this technique to Limit the flow of chakra within his body. Normally, one can use no more than 20% of their body's full potential, that's the brain's way of protecting the individual from harming their body through overexertion. With training, individuals can learn to remove these limiters, referred to as "opening" the gates. 

With each opened gate, the user is given access to more and more of their body's chakra, thus increasing their physical strength and speed. With the 8th Gate open, the user has 100% access to his chakra.

When a gate is opened, n% potential is unlocked on top of the base 20%.

**In total, the user receives an additional 20% access to his potential when activated up to Fourth Gate! Since the "Base Form" is 20% potential, another 20% means the stats have increased by 2 times! This amplification applies to STR, END, DEX, INT, and WIS!

**User is unable to utilise Chakra/Mana for anything else while the gates are activated.]

With the Eight Gates open, in total it should give him 5x his base stats. That, mixed with the stat boost he gets in partial dragon and full dragon transformations, he was a terrible foe to encounter indeed.

Normally, "Martial Arts" like this were counted on the Proficiency page, where it would stop once it reached 100% mastery. However, after the system levelled up once its countless restrictions were taken over, all the Proficiency was translated to skills.

As Neji huffed while sitting on his butt, sweating heavily as he absorbed all the memories from the dispersed 500 clones, Guy looked at Neji while scratching his chin. "I know you were physically strong from the start, but still. To learn four Gates in a day… even though you cheated, it's something unheard of!"

Unheard of because Neji wasn't just cheating with clones. He had a fucking System.

"Thanks, Guy-sensei."

That night, Neji didn't play around (except he did find an hour to dance with Shizune) and simply trained all night to level up [Eight Gates] up to level 40.

‹Open Seventh Gate›

[Gate One to Seven has been opened!]

[STR, END, DEX, INT and WIS have all been boosted 3.75 times!] 

Greenish-blue energy was surrounding Neji, rising upwards like a blazing inferno. Neji's hair was floating as well, and the wind around the area had gotten too strong. The trees were shaking, leaves were fluttering, and the birds were flying away.

This was the power of the Seventh Gate.

Not only was his physical strength strengthened, but his mental ability had also gone up as well. That's because the first two gates affect the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Neji felt powerful, so powerful that he could destroy mountains with a punch. So powerful that the ground he was standing on was shaking.

"Woohoo, great going, Neji!" Guy yelled from the side, hiding behind a huge rock with the others. "You can end it if it becomes too painful!"

That's the thing. Neji felt no pain. Nothing at all. Most certainly because his Draconic High Human body was built different. That made Neji wonder, would he be able to endure Eight Gates too? He could try it out right away, Guy taught him how to open the Eight Gates too, though he obviously didn't let Neji test it out.

In the end, Neji decided not to test it. Not now, anyway. He rather swiped his arm in the air and saw a vertical slash of wind cut through the trees in the far.

Wow.

Not bad.

He had 2,546 STR at this moment, so it made sense he could do this much, and more. All Might could create tornados with just 500-stat points, after all. Knowing that, Neji decided to stop his testing for how. Unless he wanted to show Konoha pain.

Slowly, Neji relaxed his muscles and closed the gates one by one. First the seventh, then the sixth, then the fifth… and at last, the first.

Neji opened his eyes and found himself standing in a small crater.

"Youth!" Guy jumped in front of him. "How are you feeling Neji? Did you like the rush you felt?"

Neji did. 

He had stats higher than this before, but he didn't feel the same rush back then. This was a rather awesome feeling, he would have to agree.

Lee, Tenten, Hanabi, and Kurai gathered around him too as he stood in his spot half-naked, his tank top having been shredded to pieces.

"Kurai, clean," Neji said as Kurai jumped at him, closing her nose with her paws. "...Does it stink that much?"

"It does, Onii-sama." Hanabi was the one to reply, sweating heavily herself. She had grown 29 centimetres in the last six days, from 150cm to 179cm. It was unbelievable how different she looked. "I doubt Kurai's cleaning will do."

"I think she's right. Let's go take a shower right away, Neji." Tenten said, smiling. Though Neji could see the lust hidden under her smile.

Tenten had grown too. From 166cm to 183cm. Her body looked more defined, and her butt was just ummah.

Though Neji was sure both girls were yet to notice their changes since they spent most time training and had no interaction with other people who would be more aware of their changes.

Kurai cast [Cleanse] on Neji, proving both girls wrong, as all the sweat, dust, and sweaty odour left Neji's body. He was cleaner than after a bath.

"Looks like I don't need to cast [Heal] though," Kurai commented, observing Neji indifferently. "No bones broke, unlike what I was told. Liar. You brought me away from the playground just to clean you, didn't you?"

"No way, I am just lucky nothing broke. Can you at least pretend to be happy that I wasn't hurt?" Neji looked at her with a playful frown. "What a bad girl."

"Tch." Kurai clicked her tongue and jumped on his shoulder, occupying it to her comfort. "I am sleeping."

"Yeah, sleep now. You'll have to teach me some stuff tonight." Neji said as he tickled her, watching her laughed out loud as she tried to scratch him.

Everyone looked at their exchange in silence before Guy cleared his throat. "Ahm, now now, on this joyous occasion of another student of mine learning the Eight Gates, we should celebrate, don't you think?"

"Yeah, let's go to some expensive restaurant!"

"Um… Can I come too?"

"Of course, Hanabi!"

"Let's go Guy-sensei!"

"Kurai wants Sushi!"

"Kurai, didn't you go to sleep?"

"Shut it, Papa!"

The team chatted amongst themselves as they walked beside one another, making their way toward a restaurant.

Later on, when Neji was sitting in the hot spring, he checked the details of his skill, Eight Gates.

[Skill: Eight Gates (Active)

Level: 80

**In total, the user receives an additional 80% access to his full powers when all gates are activated! Meaning, his stats sand such as, STR, END, DEX, INT, and WIS, are all amplified by 5 times.

**User can barely use Chakra/Mana for anything else while the gates are activated. The more the skill is levelled up, the more chakra he can use in this form.

**Each gate, from the first to eighth, has a harsh backlash on the user's body, and the eighth gate, in particular, can even kill the user (unless he has a way around it).]

Level 80, and all Gates unlocked, meaning he was 4 times stronger than before. All this, in just 6 days since the training started.

It was crazy how fast Neji grew, but it would be crazier if he didn't. With the shadow clones, the Gamer system's help, and finally the fact that he had the required level of strength present, it wouldn't be right if he took more than a week to master this.

Not counting the fact that it couldn't boost Genome Abilities, this Skill pretty much replaced his lost Quirk, Upgrade. Heck, who knows, if evolved the skill maybe it could even boost Genome Abilities as well. That'd be great.

But that's for later, now it was his relaxing time. He worked really hard for the past few days, so now it was time to let loose. 

"Haah, it's comfortable here." 

Neji sat in the hot spring and waited for his girls.
