Chapter 23 Terrifying Cultivation Speed
Teacher Guy obviously could not accept the fact that Naruto had arrived even earlier than him.
Even Kakashi had not won against Teacher Guymany times; their record was always even.
Now, to lose to Naruto, who was about the same age as his disciple Lee, Teacher Guy absolutely could not accept it.
And as Teacher Guy questioned Naruto, Narutodecisively pointed to the deeper part of the forest.
"Hehe, Teacher Guy, I know you won't admit it, so I made a mark inside beforehand!"
"If you don't believe me, you can come with me to see it!"
"There are only two paths to reach here; you should know that better than me, right?"
Naruto said, and then began to walk towards the deeper part of the forest.
At this time, Teacher Guy, though unwilling, still followed him; he also wanted to see with his own eyes where Naruto's mark was.
"Teacher Guy! Naruto isn't serious, is he?!"
"This forest only has two paths, front and back. The distances on both sides are farther than what we ran, so Naruto couldn't have chosen them!"
"One remaining path is the one we came from, and the other is a detour from the other end of the forest!"
When Lee said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Apparently, detouring from the other end of the forest was something even Teacher Guy couldn't do.
After all, this forest was very large; if one wanted to detour, it would take at least a day.
And Naruto obviously didn't have that much time to take a detour.
Excluding all impossibilities, then what remained was only the truth.
At this moment, Lee couldn't help but swallow, and his gaze towards Naruto began to burn.
Teacher Guy understood these things better than Lee, so he was silent at this moment, wondering what he was thinking.
And as the three of them were silent, Naruto finally arrived in front of a large tree deeper in the forest.
Then, Naruto pointed directly to the back of the large tree and spoke.
"Hey! Teacher Guy, I left my shuriken behind the tree, and also carved my name and the date!"
"You can go check if I'm lying!"
Naruto finished speaking and stepped aside, and at this moment, Teacher Guy also walked behind the large tree with a questioning mind.
Although the back of the large tree was a bit dark, Teacher Guy quickly found Naruto's shuriken on its back.
Below the shuriken were Naruto's crookedly carved words and the time.
Seeing that the time was just a dozen minutes ago, Teacher Guy was completely stunned.
"This, how did Naruto do it?!"
"It's terrifying! To be able to surpass me and Lee in such a short time!"
"To arrive at a place even further than the finish line without anyone knowing!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!"
A figure suddenly appeared in Teacher Guy's mind at this moment, and that was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash.
In his opinion, if anyone could do it, it would definitely be this one.
However, the Fourth Hokage had been dead for a long time, so this was clearly impossible.
Unless Naruto learned the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique and his talent for speed.
However, what he didn't know was that Narutowas able to do it entirely because of Haki and the Nine-Tailed.
Earlier, while Lee and Teacher Guy were still running hard, Naruto had already activated the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
At the same time, when using the Nine-Tailed's Chakra, Armament Haki and Observation Hakiwere directly activated.
With the enhancement of these abilities, Naruto's speed was almost like flying.
That's why Naruto arrived before them.
"Haha, Teacher Guy, how about it, I didn't lie, did I!"
"Now, can you teach me the Eight Gates?"
At this moment, while Teacher Guy was somewhat stunned, Naruto spoke again.
Hearing Naruto's voice, Teacher Guy finally came back to his senses.
Although he was a bit depressed at the moment, he still nodded.
"Good! As expected of Naruto! Then I will teach you the Eight Gates now!"
"Lee! You come too! Follow closely and learn well!"
Teacher Guy was also preparing to explain at this time.
But just then, Naruto couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Oh my! Teacher Guy, you can't play like this!"
"Since you already decided to teach both of us, why bother with a competition!"
"Isn't that just an unnecessary act, like pulling down your pants to fart!"
Naruto complained, but Teacher Guy suddenly grinned and laughed aloud.
"Hahahaha! I never said I'd only teach one of you!"
"You did!"
"If you don't believe me, ask Lee if he heard it!" Naruto retorted.
Seeing this, Teacher Guy also tried to be unreasonable and spoke again.
"Ahem, really? Did I say that? I don't remember!"
"Alright, alright, let's not waste our youth, let's start learning the Eight Gates now!"
"I'll only teach it once, so you must learn it carefully!"
As he spoke, Teacher Guy finally seriously explained the principles of the Eight Gates.
Actually, Naruto already knew a lot about the Eight Gates in his previous life, it's just that there was no Chakra in that world.
Now that he possessed Chakra and had listened to Teacher Guy's careful explanation, Naruto naturally learned very quickly.
In less than an hour, Naruto had already mastered the key to opening the first Gate.
In contrast, Lee was much slower, not even reaching the introductory level.
Seeing this scene, Teacher Guy couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmph! Teacher Guy! I think I can open the second Gate!"
As Naruto spoke, he had already tried to open the second Gate.
Seeing this, Teacher Guy also looked at him with some curiosity; Naruto's cultivation speed was even faster than his.
One must know that Naruto was not like Lee; he was not a Ninja who specialized in Taijutsu.
However, even so, Naruto learned this Taijutsu much faster than Lee, who specialized in Taijutsu.
This was enough to make him look at Naruto with new respect.
"Good, I'll be your opponent!"
Seeing that Naruto had mastered the key to opening the second Gate, Teacher Guy also prepared to test Naruto's level.
However, just as Teacher Guy was preparing to deal with Naruto, Naruto suddenly opened the third Gate.
Seeing Naruto open the third Gate without a sound, Teacher Guy became even more astonished.
But this was not all; soon, Naruto's aura continued to surge.
Seeing this stance, even Teacher Guy couldn't help but frown.
"Enough, Naruto! Your body probably can't take it now, don't force open any more Gates!"
Teacher Guy was afraid that Naruto would suffer some mishap, so he spoke to dissuade him.
Teacher Guy knew the Eight Gates better than anyone.
Although this Taijutsu was powerful, it also consumed life, so he didn't want Naruto to continue.
However, Naruto at this time did not listen to him; instead, he continued to open the fourth Gate and the fifth Gate.
"Fifth Gate! Gate of Limit, open!"
