52 Chapter 52

"Senior, Lord Hokage wants to meet you."

Admitting, of Erase quickly restored calm, and asked to Give.

At this moment Jounin hesitated a little and said: "I also have to make a report to Lord Hokage, let's go together. "

" Good. "

Dai nodded and looked at Yeruashi gratefully.

Erase smiled and raised his thumb, and then turned and left the Hokage building.

He went home without rushing to the gathering place.

...

In the office of the Hokage.

Maito Dai entered the office with Naoki Saruto, a Jounin.

Hiruzen quietly sat at the table with closed eyes, holding the phone in his hand and thinking, he thought about the best distribution of forces, it is impossible to just send Orochimaru to the front of the Grass Country, other borders also need to be controlled, it is necessary to maintain the utmost vigilance towards the rest of the Great Villages.

"Lord Hokage."

Saruto took a step forward, bowed to the Hokage and began to report: "There is something that requires your attention, the shinobi team consisting of Hatake Yeruashi and Maito Dai was attacked by shinobi Iwagakure during the C-rank mission in the land of Grass, as a result....Hatake Yeruashi killed an enemy Jounin identified as Jounin Iwagakure Kakko! "

the First half of the report didn't attract much attention from hiruzen, he just nodded subconsciously, listened with half an ear, but the second half abruptly interrupted His thoughts.

Hiruzen looked at Saruto in a daze and said: "Erase...killed Jonina Willow?"

Naruto sighed and said: "Yes, and on this not all, together with Maito Dai they destroyed team Iwagakure, consisting of ten shinobi. "

" ... "

Hiruzen was silent for a while, simply not knowing what to say.

He thought that Yeruashi had failed the mission due to the Willow invasion, but he didn't worry too much and didn't ask questions, because this is a normal C-rank mission, but unexpectedly, Yeruashi not only encountered unforeseen circumstances halfway through, but also handled them perfectly, successfully completing the mission!

In comparison, the fact that when facing the massive Willow forces in the Grass Country, Yeruashi did not act rashly and immediately decided to retreat in order to provide at least minimal information is not worth mentioning at all.

"This guy..."

Hiruzen turned and looked out the window, feeling a shiver in his heart.

Ten years!

At the age of nine, he killed an elite enemy scout, and at the age of ten, Jounin Iwagakure!

Even young Sakumo and Orochimaru could cope with Jounin only at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Yeruashi's performance has already completely eclipsed the young Sakumo and Orochimaru, two geniuses of past generations!

"Okay, I understand."

after a few seconds, Hiruzen calmed his emotions and waved his hand, giving Saruto a sign that he can go, then he looked at Maito Dai: "Give...how many gates Hachimon Thin you are able to open it?"

Describing the situation, Erase not only said that MiTo Let stronger than him, but also mentioned that he practices Hachimon Thin.

Hachimon Subtly is one of Kenjutsu created by the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, for all time of existence of this technology, very rarely met people who are able to go beyond opening the fifth gate, because the load on the body and side effects are too great, so very few people decide to take up this practice Kenjutsu.

As a Genin, Maito Dai didn't have the ability to access the Seal Scroll that records this kinjutsu, so he probably learned this technique on his own.

It is not so difficult to touch the first gate and open it, the main problem of Hachimon Tonko practice is that it is much more difficult to open each subsequent gate. If a shinobi who has been focused on training Taijutsu for decades says that he has absolutely no idea about the Eight Gates, this is what will be really hard to believe.

However.

Understanding the eight Gates does not mean being able to practice Them. Cases where shinobi was able to understand and start a full-fledged practice of Hachimon Tonko are extremely rare and exceptional, at least the talent of Maito Dai in the physical aspect can not be questioned.

Dai answered the Hokage's question honestly without hesitation: "Eighth gate. "

"Ah, no wonder you can do this...."

Silence.

Hiruzen was still thinking about Erase and subconsciously replied to Give, then slowly turned his head, blinked and slowly said,"...wait, did you say the eighth gate?!"

He looked at Maito Dai in a daze.

Even Tobirama himself, who developed this technique, was unable to open the last eighth gate, as hiruzen knows, He only opened the first few gates!

And in the future, only a few managed to open the sixth gate, in most cases the fifth gate was the limit!

"Yes."

Maito Dai nodded.

Hiruzen was shocked.

At first, he even doubted the truth of maito Dai's words, but looking at His behavior, he did not find a single sign of a lie, and a lie in such a matter simply does not make sense, it can be exposed in an instant.

"...have you ever opened the eighth gate?!"

Hiruzen still couldn't quite believe it.

Dai hesitated and said: "No, the side effect of this technique is too great, I feel that the side effect of opening the eighth gate will be...death. "

at this point, Hiruzen stopped doubting the truth of Dai's words, because the information about the Eight Gates left by Tobirama briefly describes the opening of the last gate, which is the burning of all life force in exchange for ultimate strength, which will inevitably lead to death.

Hiruzen involuntarily sighed.

Initially it was expected that Mayto Give may be able to open the fifth gate and is a very strong shinobi from the perspective of Taijutsu that can only due to this aspect to reach level Jounin, but suddenly he is able to open the eighth gate!

Although he didn't know what the impetus will be cut off when they are opened, but the burning of all the vital forces in exchange for ultimate power will definitely give a very powerful effect!

Perhaps to the level of the kages!

Compare with it!

"...Maito Dai, I will immediately promote you to the level of Tokubetsu Jounin. The previous mission was quite difficult, but now there is no time to rest, it is necessary that you go to the front line as soon as possible."

Hiruzen looked at Dai very seriously.

Maito Dai, who has such power, is very well suited to be sent to the front, because he can handle almost any surprise, even in the most terrible and hopeless situation, the opening of the eighth gate will ensure their forces a safe retreat.

Dai replied excitedly.

Just as Yeruashi predicted, he was promoted to the rank of Tokubetsu Jounin, from Genin to Tokubetsu Jounin in an instant!

And he could feel a very serious attitude from the Lord Hokage!

Give felt the blood boil in his veins.

It is a feeling of the burning power of youth.

At this moment, he would not hesitate, even if he had to open the eighth gate and rush into the enemy ranks, trading his life for a huge loss from the enemy!
