Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

After giving a perfunctory reply, Chiba looked at Matt Day with feigned ignorance and asked.

"Senior Dai, why did you suddenly bring up the 'Eight Gates'?"

Chiba appeared calm as he waited for Might Guy's answer, but his heart was pounding with excitement!

“Young man, since I have promised to teach you physical skills properly, I must keep my word. I plan to teach you the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation.”

Matt Day didn't understand any of the intricacies; he simply stated his position directly.

"YES, that's great!"

Chiba was overjoyed.

He never expected that he would not receive the Eight Gates Formation through the system rewards, but instead obtained the opportunity to master the Eight Gates Formation from Might Dai!

This feeling of regaining what was lost, of finding a glimmer of hope after darkness, filled him with ecstasy.

Although Might Guy only agreed to teach him the first gate, as long as he mastered the training methods and principles of the Eight Gates, he could accumulate the remaining seven gates through system rewards!

"But I didn't say anything, so why would Senior Dai offer to teach me the Eight Gates?" Chiba asked, somewhat puzzled.

In fact, it's really hard for a sly guy like Chiba to understand the thoughts of a straightforward person like Might Guy.

In Matt Daly's mind, he felt he had to repay whatever others had done for him, always striving to do more and never less; that was his youth.

Chiba not only cured his hidden ailment, but also provided him with a stable way to make money, solving his immediate problem. He couldn't possibly repay these favors with a mere 40,000 taels!

The only skill Dai Wei could offer was the Eight Gates Formation.

The Eight Gates Formation is not a taijutsu unique to the Might family. Might Dai felt it was most appropriate to teach Chiba the first gate, which does not involve the core, as a way of repaying him.

After all, the Eight Gates technique is extremely difficult to master; even the first gate might not be "opened" by Chiba...

"Everyone has eight 'gates' inside their body that limit their chakra."

Chiba sat back down on the worn-out sofa, while Matt Day began to speak with a serious expression.

"The so-called Eight Gates Formation is about opening these gates to remove the restrictions on one's chakra, thereby unleashing taijutsu far exceeding one's own power!"

"However, while gaining power, the user's body will also be damaged. Therefore, before opening the 'Eight Gates,' one needs to undergo extraordinary training to ensure that the body can withstand the load of opening the 'Eight Gates.'"

Chiba nodded repeatedly as he listened. He was familiar with this story. During the Chunin Exams, Rock Lee couldn't resist using a cheat for five minutes, and as a result, his account was banned for 500 episodes.

"..."

When talking about his area of ​​expertise, Might Guy completely lost his usual restraint and freely introduced the key points of the Eight Gates technique to Chiba.

After explaining, Might Guy guided Chiba to search for the Eight Gates within Chiba's body.

"Yes, it's the point on the left side of the brain where the most meridians converge. That's the first 'gate'. You can try pushing the 'gate' with your chakra and feel it."

"Over the next period of time, I will put you through rigorous physical training. Perhaps one day you will be able to open the 'door'."

Halfway through his sentence, Matt Dai suddenly realized something was amiss, fearing it might dampen Chiba's enthusiasm, so he quickly explained.

"Even the first gate is difficult to open, young man. Even for me back then, it took me several years..."

boom!

Before Might Guy could finish speaking, a violent surge of chakra suddenly erupted from Chiba's body, causing Guy's chin to freeze in mid-air, leaving him completely stunned.

"Uh, I think I accidentally... pushed the 'door' open?"

Chiba was also somewhat embarrassed.

He simply followed Matt Day's instructions and tried it out, and to his surprise, he opened the first door with ease. He's still sitting on the sofa now...

Honestly, he really didn't mean to embarrass Matt Damon!

"Senior Dai? Senior Dai?"

Chiba called out several times before Matt Dai came to his senses. He grabbed Chiba's hand and became so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

"You opened all eight gates in one go! Young man, would you be willing to become my disciple? I will teach you the complete Eight Gates Formation!"

"Ah, to become an apprentice?"

Chiba was quite helpless upon hearing this. No, why does everyone want to take him as their disciple?

"No, no, no, what I mean is..."

Might Guy then realized that he, a perennial genin, was not qualified to be Chiba's teacher. His face flushed red instantly, and he hurriedly explained.

"What I mean is that you are a taijutsu prodigy. If you seriously train in taijutsu, you will definitely shine in the ninja world in the future!"

"A martial arts prodigy? Perhaps," Chiba replied noncommittally.

Come to think of it, the Thousand Hands bloodline, enhanced physique, and perfect chakra control are only the first gate of the Eight Gates. It would be difficult for him not to learn it.

After all that fuss, it was getting late. After agreeing on a time to meet again, Chiba got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he ignored Matt Dae's advice and insisted on leaving behind the silver note worth 500,000 taels.

"What a fine young man..."

Might Guy clutched the silver note in his hand, watching Chiba's departing figure, and was moved to tears.

Although Chiba said he didn't lack money, it's easy to imagine how difficult it would be for someone so young to save up 500,000 taels.

Chiba, upon hearing that he was in trouble, insisted on paying his tuition in advance and gave him her hard-earned savings!

"Young man, your great kindness and virtue will be forever etched in our hearts! We, the Matt family, will never forget it!"

……

The next day, Chiba casually pocketed a silver note containing 500,000 taels and went out again.

Unfortunately, apart from a 36D lady, Chiba didn't encounter anyone noteworthy when he went out today.

Noticing Chiba's gaze, the young woman came closer and said that her cat could do the splits and she wanted to invite Chiba to her house to see it. She also said that since Chiba was so handsome, she would make an exception and give him a discount, only charging him 10,000 ryo for the ticket.

Chiba refused without even thinking about it.

Are you kidding me? What kind of cat is this? It's so expensive just to look at!

Arriving at the Nohara residence, Chiba looked at the plaque hanging on the gate, and once again, the hearty laughter of Nohara, the group leader, echoed in her mind.

"Hahaha, if my daughter weren't so young, I'd want to recruit you as my Nohara family's son-in-law."

"You brat, stop being so wishy-washy. We can talk about it when we get back to the village!"

"Team Leader Nohara, you broke your promise..." Chiba rubbed his swollen cheeks and muttered to himself.

Although he always called Hiroshi Nohara "team leader", he had been following Hiroshi Nohara ever since he joined the medical team, and Hiroshi Nohara had always taken good care of him.

In Chiba's mind, Hiroshi Nohara was like a... half teacher to him.

dong dong dong.

Suppressing her thoughts, Chiba took two steps forward and knocked on the Nohara family's door.

"Coming right here, please wait a moment!"

A childish voice came from inside the house. Soon, the door opened, and a little girl who looked only three or four years old peeked out from behind it.

The little girl had short brown hair, bright and cute dark brown eyes, and two long purple stripes on her chubby baby face.

Upon seeing Chiba, the little girl spoke with some confusion.

"Hello, I'm Rin Nohara. May I ask who you are...?"

.

.

Regarding the timeline issue:

Despite the difference in seniority, Yahiko, Obito, and the other two are only a year or two apart, while Minato is considerably older than them. Here are two points:

1. Obito "died" at the age of thirteen in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, according to Kishimoto's "The Book of Fighting". At most a year later, Yahiko died at the age of fifteen, according to Kishimoto's "The Book of Battles".

2. At most one year later, Minato died from the Nine-Tails' attack at the age of twenty-four. This is from Kishimoto's "The Book of Battle".

Furthermore, in Kishimoto's "Minato Densetsu," during the later stages of the Second Shinobi World War, Minato was already able to assist Jiraiya in directly confronting the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure.

You can roughly calculate the ages of these characters. There are many plot holes in this timeline. There is some artistic embellishment, but the timeline is generally based on Kishimoto's settings.

List the current age for easier reading:

长门、小南7-8岁，弥彦6岁；带土、卡卡西4-5岁，琳3-4岁；水门14岁左右。】

Chapter 36 The Most Unique Chunin Exam in History

"The Nohara Group Leader's daughter really is Nohara Rin!"

Even though Chiba had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he saw Nohara Rin.

"Team Leader Nohara, I can't be your son-in-law. I'm afraid he'll bring back some dirt and scatter my ashes..."

But right now, Obito's probably just a little kid, right? I could take on two of him with one punch, haha!

After making a few self-deprecating remarks, Chiba's mood improved somewhat.

Currently, we are still in the final stages of the Second Shinobi World War. Rin Nohara is about the same age as Yahiko, a year or two younger than Yahiko, and she hasn't started school yet. The same goes for Obito.

Minato Namikaze was still developing the "Light Wheel Reika Flying Whirlwind Jiraiya Double Shiki-maru" based on the Tailed Beast Ball to protect Kushina, and had not yet become Master Minato.

"Hello, my name is Chiba."

Chiba stopped daydreaming, forced a smile, and waved to Nohara Rin.

"Chiba? That name sounds so familiar..."

Nohara Rin looked thoughtful. After a while, she slapped her forehead and said, "Brother Chiba, you're one of my father's team members, right? I've heard my father mention you!"

"Team Leader Nohara mentioned me?"

Chiba was taken aback at first, then asked with some emotion, "Did Team Leader Nohara mean that I am his most outstanding team member?"

Nohara Rin shook her head and said seriously, "No, my father said he has never raised such a stupid child before, and that you often make him very angry."

Chiba: "..."

Seeing Chiba's silence, Nohara Rin chuckled to herself, then began to ponder Chiba's intentions.

"Ahem, um, this is the money that Nohara-gumi-sensei entrusted to me before."
