Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

He walked up to the other party and first recounted the entire situation. Fortunately, the other party patiently listened to his explanation.

Ryosuke certainly didn't want to cause a misunderstanding or conflict with the other party.

Hiashi Hyuga patiently listened.

Of course, he didn't suspect at all that it was someone from the Uchiha clan who had done it.

After all, the Uchiha's kekkei genkai was no less impressive than that of the Hyuga clan.

It was just unexpected that an Uchiha would return his daughter to him.

Even though the two clans usually had no interaction, and the Uchiha currently had a poor reputation in Konoha.

However, the other party had kindly chased off those troublesome kids and returned his daughter. Naturally, he had to express proper gratitude and not lose the manners of his clan.

"Thank you for bringing my daughter back. Please come inside; I'll prepare some fine tea to host you."

"There's no need for that."

Ryosuke waved his hand and said, then promptly left.

He had nothing to discuss with the Hyuga clan; it was better to find Might Guy to learn the Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates technique.

Hiashi Hyuga naturally didn't insist, knowing that the Uchiha were currently viewed with suspicion by the Konoha higher-ups.

As a clan leader, he should avoid contact with the Uchiha clan to prevent arousing suspicion from the higher-ups.

But since the other party had saved his daughter, he had to show proper courtesy; otherwise, it would reflect poorly on the spirit of his clan.

After Ryosuke left, Hiashi Hyuga waved his clan's ninjas away.

He then turned to his daughter, Hinata.

His temper flared again. But seeing her with her head lowered, looking worried and frightened, his anger subsided considerably.

As a father, he had watched Hinata grow up. Her gentle and somewhat timid personality was well-known to him.

However, as his eldest daughter, she was destined to inherit the Hyuga clan's prestige.

Such a personality had to change. It seemed he could only educate her slowly.

———

Elsewhere, Ryosuke found Might Guy in the woods where they often trained together.

Might Guy was practicing alone, repeatedly punching a wooden post.

It seemed Might Guy's strength had also improved.

Sensing someone behind him, Might Guy turned to see his close friend, Uchiha Ryosuke. His heart was instantly filled with joy.

It had been a long time since Ryosuke had sought him out for sparring, and he wondered if Ryosuke found his strength too weak now.

Before discussing that, though, he wanted to share some good news.

"Ryosuke, the village is preparing to negotiate peace with the Hidden Cloud Village. Did you hear about this?"

Ryosuke hadn't heard, as he wasn't even involved with the Police Force. However, he did know the Hidden Cloud Village was not only coming for peace talks but also planning to steal Hinata's Byakugan.

Thinking about the Hidden Cloud Village reminded him that his father had died at their hands.

This was an opportunity to exact some small revenge.

Seeing Ryosuke's expression, Might Guy became puzzled.

"Ryosuke, what's wrong? Are you unhappy about this news?"

"How could that be?" Ryosuke laughed heartily.

"I'm just a bit puzzled as to why the negotiation site is Konoha Village instead of the Fire Country's border."

Might Guy thought about Ryosuke's question but couldn't figure out the answer either.

Seeing Might Guy like this, Ryosuke realized he wasn't the type to involve himself in conspiracies.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Guy, I came to learn how to open the Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates technique."

Hearing this, Might Guy was stunned. "Ryosuke, you're ready to learn the Fifth Gate?"

"Yes, I've already mastered the first four gates." Ryosuke replied.

In truth, the difficulty of learning the Eight Gates lay primarily in opening the gates. Once one adapted to the pain, it no longer hurt.

It was somewhat similar to a woman's first time. Once opened, it came down to the body's endurance.

A strong body could maintain the Eight Gates without issue.

Might Guy couldn't help but take a deep breath. If Ryosuke was ready to open the Fifth Gate, didn't that mean he was already on the same level as him?

It had taken Might Guy ten years to reach the Fifth Gate, yet Ryosuke had caught up in just over three months.

Though he had anticipated Ryosuke's rapid progress, this speed was beyond belief.

Might Guy decided to teach Ryosuke how to open the Fifth Gate.

As usual, he demonstrated it once, and Ryosuke used his Sharingan to copy the method directly, making slight adjustments since everyone's chakra pathways and chakra limiters were slightly different.

Seeing those three-tomoe Sharingan, Might Guy couldn't help but admire Ryosuke's talent. With those Sharingan alone, Ryosuke was destined to be a powerful ninja. Ryosuke was likely a true genius among the Uchiha.

Using the Sharingan, Ryosuke immediately replicated Might Guy's method for opening the Fifth Gate.

He then opened the first four gates of the Eight Gates and manipulated his chakra to push toward the Fifth Gate, the Gate of Limit.

The familiar pain descended upon him instantly. Not only pain—it even gave Ryosuke a bit of exhilaration.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Refreshing!"

He then stopped his training movements. He only wanted to experience opening the Fifth Gate for now.

After all, he was already under the scrutiny of Konoha's higher-ups. Not only had he refused the Hokage's invitation to join the Anbu, but he had also interacted with Naruto.

The Konoha Hokage and "Pot Shadow" could very well act against him.

While training to open the Fifth Gate, he wasn't afraid of those things. But that didn't mean he would be completely unharmed; anything could happen during training, including fainting.

In such a case, his Sharingan could be at risk.

Might Guy stood by, stunned. He vividly remembered the nerve-searing pain he felt the first time he opened the Fifth Gate.

Even now, the memory remained fresh. Yet Ryosuke found such pain enjoyable.

The difference between people was staggering. Perhaps that's why Ryosuke could master the Eight Gates so quickly.

At this moment, Ryosuke also decided to return home and continue practicing there.

"Guy, I'll head back for now."
