Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

Hong pondered her mother's words carefully and realized that her mother's worries might be unnecessary.

“Mother, our Third Hokage is a reasonable and kind person with a very good reputation. There’s no need to get angry over something like this.”

"Besides, even if he's angry, can he force me to be with Asuma?"

Red's mother spoke patiently.

"Those who can become Hokage are not as kind as they appear on the surface."

"He won't force you, after all, the Third Hokage still has his pride, but he won't dare to do it openly, though he will use underhanded tactics behind the scenes."

"You've heard of Danzo, right? He's the guy who does all sorts of shady things for the Third Hokage."

“Ninjas were often secretly executed.”

Hong asked in surprise.

"Such a small matter shouldn't warrant my execution, and I haven't betrayed the village."

Hong's mother continued patiently.

"Although you did not betray the village, you have already committed the greatest sin by displeasing them."

"They may not act openly, but they can sabotage you in secret. This world is very complicated. You have to learn how to deal with people and not offend others. After all, our Xi Ri family is no longer a powerful clan."

Hong understood when she heard this.

"Mother."

"I understand what you're saying, but weren't those ninjas that Lord Danzo dealt with spies or traitors from the village?"

"Don't these people deserve to die for betraying intelligence?"

The mother was very pleased to see that Hong was listening to her, and when Hong asked her another question, she couldn't help but explain.

“Hong, you have never seen the dark side of the village.”

"Some of the people Danzo dealt with were indeed spies and traitors, but who can guarantee that everyone he dealt with was a spy or traitor?"

Hong covered her mouth upon hearing this, deeply shocked by her mother's words.

It turns out that the village has such a dark side.

Kurenai's mother told her all this so that she would be more careful in Konoha.

"The one person you absolutely must not mess with in Konoha is Lord Danzo."

"There were rumors that Danzo used members of the Senju clan for human experiments."

"Then Lady Tsunade disbanded the clan, forcing the Senju clan members to go into hiding, probably to avoid Danzo's wrath."

Hong was shocked when she heard these words.

The Senju clan, an elder family that co-founded the village with the Uchiha clan, was once the most powerful clan in Konoha, with the Uchiha clan ranking second.

Could such a powerful family have declined for this reason?

She couldn't help but confirm.

"Was it really Danzo who did it? Does he have that much power?"

Hong's mother couldn't help but say.

"These are just rumors, but nothing stays secret forever. These rumors don't just spread out of nowhere."

Red Heart was already somewhat afraid of the so-called Dark Lord of Konoha, Lord Zang.

"Mother, please don't worry, I will definitely handle my relationship with Asuma well."

Even though she didn't want to pay attention to Asuma, she had to comfort him properly for her own sake, her mother's sake, and Ryosuke's sake.

Because Asuma is indeed a very easily excitable guy.

Seeing that Hong was willing to listen to her, Hong's mother smiled.

"It's good that you know. I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go to sleep early too."

Hong then went back to her room and went to sleep.

After all, Asuma didn't know about her relationship with Ryosuke yet, and was currently serving as a guardian ninja in the Land of Fire, under the rule of Daimyo.

She still has time to think things through; she won't rush into figuring out how to appease the other person tonight.

The next day, Ryosuke got up early and completed a set of One-Punch Man training, which boosted his physical attribute points.

Although it's not much, it's still an improvement.

In the afternoon, Ryosuke prepared to go find Kai.

I don't know if the other person's injuries have healed.

The other party doesn't have his physical enhancement.

Most importantly, he was preparing to learn the so-called Eight Gates Formation.

That means it's impossible to practice like we used to.

Might Guy was either running around Konoha or training in the familiar clearings of the woods.

Ryosuke quickly found Guy, who was training his martial arts techniques alone.

Strangely, Xiao Li did not train with the other party.

Kai, who was training, stopped what he was doing because he sensed someone approaching.

Turning around, I saw it was Uchiha Ryosuke, and noticed that the bruises on his body had completely disappeared.

Her demeanor doesn't resemble that of someone who has been hurt.

Based on the previous situation, it is clear that the other party's recovery was not merely superficial, but that their injuries had truly healed.

Kai's physique was already quite strong, and his injuries had mostly healed by now. The bruises on his face had decreased significantly, but they were still visible upon closer inspection.

His injuries healed so quickly thanks to Ryosuke selling him the Uchiha clan medicine at a low price.

If Kakashi is a genius of ninjutsu, then Ryosuke is a true genius of taijutsu.

Although Kai encountered two geniuses, he was not discouraged, because he had long been used to setbacks.

Moreover, he was more happy to be able to become close friends with such a genius.

He looked at Ryosuke and said with a smile.

"Are you here to spar with me again today?"

For a long time, he had been constantly seeking out Kakashi to spar and train in taijutsu, never expecting that one day he would be so highly regarded.

His injuries have mostly healed, and he would have no problem sparring with Ryosuke.

Fortunately, there are no ninja missions to complete during this period.

You can focus on improving your skills so that you can take on more advanced tasks.

His best friend Kakashi is already on a higher-level mission in the Anbu, but he has not given up his dream of joining the Anbu.

If his strength is insufficient to enter the Dark Division, then he only needs to become stronger; he is confident of that.

Because he grew from someone who only knew taijutsu to a Chunin, in terms of taijutsu alone, he was not afraid of Kakashi's taijutsu at all.

Even after he opened the Eight Gates, he was stronger than his opponent; he had found his own confidence from being a loser.

Ryosuke shook his head and said...

"I didn't come to you today to spar in real combat."

"I want to learn the Eight Gates Formation from you."

Would you be willing to teach me?

Chapter 28 The First Gate of the Eight Gates Formation

Ryosuke cut to the chase and stated his purpose directly, without playing any tricks on the other party, because he trusted the other party's character. If there was anyone who couldn't be wronged, it would definitely be Might Guy.

Unlike others, Matt Kay doesn't engage in backstabbing or intrigue.

Kai became serious upon hearing Ryosuke's words, and the Eight Gates technique also stirred up memories of his father.

Four years ago, he participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War between Konoha and Kirigakure, when he was just a genin.

He, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu were surrounded by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

In order to rescue the three of them, their father directly activated the Eight Gates Formation, killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and freeing the three of them.

Then, because his life force was completely burned out after activating the Eight Gates, he died.

His father was great.

Kai naturally wanted to be like his father, inheriting his father's will, protecting what was important to him, and protecting the village.

His memories stopped, and he looked at Ryosuke in front of him.

"How do you know about the Eight Gates Formation?"

This statement puzzled Ryosuke, as the Uchiha clan had also participated in the Third Shinobi World War against Kirigakure.

How could Might Guy not know that he killed four of the Seven Hidden Blades, the elite fighters of Kirigakure?

"Shouldn't I know?"
