Yeruashi found Maito Dai rather quickly.
As he expected, when he returned from the mission, Maito Dai ate with Gai and together they went to practice, the two figures in green tights were running laps around Konoha.
Eruashi thought for a while and started running too, after a while he totally "accidentally" crossed paths with Maito Dai and his son.
"Training too, Gai."
Eruashi greeted Maito Gai.
Seeing Yeruashi, Guy raised his thumb on the run and said: "Of course, after supper one must be sure to run at least fifty laps, it is the power of youth!"
Maito Dai followed his son's example, showing his thumb and expressing complete agreement with his words with a cheerful smile.
This scene attracted the strange stares of the residents of Konoha walking down the street.
Eruashi felt helpless.
Is it necessary to behave so strangely...
He even felt a few of the same strange stares on him and vaguely heard something like "Did someone mess with this strange father and son pair", he only had to sigh helplessly.
Guy ran up to Eruasha and asked: "...hey, where's Kakashi? Aren't you two training together?"
He pays much more attention to Kakashi than Eruashi, as usual.
"He must have decided to train alone."
Eruashi knows that his brother hasn't taken any missions these days, since he's not home, he's probably gone somewhere to train, they rarely train together at all.
Guy showed his thumb once more and smiled brightly, exposing a row of white teeth, "So that's it...I didn't expect you to do such basic training!"
"The basics are important too."
Yeruashi smiled and thought to himself, "The other day, during my intense physical training, I felt some strange feeling, like there were boundaries in my body that could be broken, I don't know if you feel anything like that?"
Guy looked at Eruasha doubtfully, "A boundary? You mean the limit of physical exhaustion?"
"No."
Yeruashi glanced at Gaius and continued to explain to Gaius, "It's not like a physical limit, hmmm...but more like a chain that restrains them...."
Hearing Eruashi's words, Gaius showed a puzzled look, but as he was about to ask another question, Dai finally intervened, he looked at Eruashi in surprise, "This really is the older brother of the famous genius Kakashi, to feel the presence of the eight gates at that age is not something you can do through normal effort."
"Eight Gates?"
Eruashi looked at Dai puzzled.
Maito Dai is an extremely straightforward man, he smiled and told it all without concealment, "After training the physical body to a certain degree, some people can feel shackles that limit the physical abilities of their body, I call these shackles the Eight Gates, by breaking these shackles, one can unleash astonishing strength for a short time."
Hearing Dai's words, Gaius looked at him in surprise; he had never heard of this, none of the academy teachers had ever mentioned anything like it.
"Father, do you use this technique?"
"Of course."
Dai showed his thumb, "All these twenty years I've been diligently practicing only one technique! I planned to teach you this trick when you got a little older."
Yeruashi looked at Daya and asked: "Although I can feel these shackles, if you forcibly break them, could it do me any harm?"
"Yes."
Maito Dai nodded and looked at Yeruashi extremely seriously, "I wouldn't recommend trying to open the Eight Gates at such a young age at all, but since you've already felt the presence of the shackles, then you are pre-qualified to practice this technique..."
Maito Dai didn't even think about keeping it a secret, perhaps he had always wanted to teach this technique to someone, it's just that no one but his own son would even think of learning from the Eternal Genin, no, he wouldn't even be listened to or taken seriously.
He recounted the basics of the Hachimon Tonko practice without too many questions, Yeruashi almost immediately gaining some understanding of the technique.
"Thank you senior for your instruction."
Yeruashi smiled appreciatively at first, then bowed seriously to Maito Dai.
Seeing Yeruashi's serious demeanor, Dai smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite, after all you are a classmate of Guy's, I didn't expect anyone to want to listen to my instruction at all, eh youth..."
At the beginning of the sentence, Maito Daya's voice was very upbeat, but by the end you could hear notes of sadness in it.
Gai looked at his father with bewilderment and puzzlement, "Dad, what is the Eight Gates? Can you tell me?"
"Gaius!"
Dai brushed aside his negative emotions and patted Guy on the shoulder: "You haven't finished today's training, let's run! I'll tell you a little bit about it after I finish training!"
The father and son pair quickly ran through the streets of Konoha, continuing to garner strange looks from the residents.
Eruashi wanted to run with them, but when he saw this scene, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.
He shouldn't.
"I finally got the Hachimon Tonko method of practice. It was very easy, as expected, but anyway...in the future I must find a way to return the favor."
After this, Yeruashi returned home and immersed himself in reflection, he began to delve into Hachimon Tonko, drawing on the basic explanation of Maito Daya and his understanding gained during his own research.
The main point of practicing Hachimon Thonko is to break the eight fetters that limit the body.
If you try to forcibly break the fetters, it is bound to cause damage to the meridian, so you must first go through a special grueling practice with extra exertion.
It is necessary to use weights to keep the body constantly in a tense state, thus, after removing the weights, the body's adaptability to breaking the shackles of the Eight Gates will improve.
You have to repeat this process time after time, gradually increasing the weight of the weights.
"We need to get the right weights..."
Eruashi rummaged through his house and found some weights, but they weren't enough weight, this would be good for a regular workout, but not for starting Hachimon Tonko's workout.
But the weights weren't a problem, all sorts of equipment was the last thing missing from the shinobi village, the inheritance left by Sakumo allowed Yeruashi to make such purchases for now.
After a while he bought some weighted weights, spending no small amount of money.
Unlike Rock Lee's weights from the original, his weights consisted of a vest and wrist and leg bracelets, and were sold as a set.
"On what principle are they made? The weight is completely illogical."
After carefully studying the weights, Eruashi came to the conclusion that the thing was "unscientific," like Kubikiribocho, able to regenerate by absorbing blood, or like Kusanagi Orochimaru, able to lengthen to an incredible degree, certain special means are used to create such things.
"So heavy..."
After putting on all the weights, Eruashi felt a strong heaviness in his body, even with simple walking his body was unstable, after a while he began to gradually adapt.
