Zhang Miao originally did not want to cut himself, but the recruitment procedure was completely the same as the Summoning Jutsu. He had to use his blood.
Fortunately, the seals needed for using the jutsu were imprinted in Zhang Miao's brain by the system. After collecting all the Ninja Fragments, there was no possibility of failure, which saved Zhang Miao from the tragedy of having to cut his fingers repeatedly.
When Zhang Miao finished the procedure, white smoke suddenly exploded in the room.
"Poof!"
At the same time, the system notification rang out in Zhang Miao's mind.
"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting 5-star Jonin-level ninja - Might Guy, and obtaining Jonin-level chakra reserves. Due to Guy being an expert in taijutsu, the host will automatically obtain some Elite-level basic taijutsu. Would the host like to check them?]"
"Elite-level basic physical skills?"
Hearing the long name, Zhang Miao couldn't hold back his curiosity and quickly nodded.
"Check them out!"
As soon as this thought appeared in Zhang Miao's mind, some information appeared inside his mind.
"[Elite-level basic physical skill: A technique of punching and kicking the enemy! ]"
"[Note: Enhanced power and accuracy, faster reaction time.]"
[Remark: Set up a good foundation. When you hit someone, hit them hard. Just do it! ]
"..."
Zhang Miao initially thought there would be the Gentle Fist or something like that. He didn't expect that it would only be ordinary punches and kicks. However, when he thought about it carefully, since the word "basic" was included in the information, it would be impossible for there to be some high-level stuff.
Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, the system notification sounded again.
"[The host can also get Guy's ninja specialty. Will the host choose now?]"
Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao remembered that after recruiting a ninja, not only could he obtain the ninja's chakra reserve, he could also choose a ninja specialty.
Zhang Miao was cheered up and quickly nodded again.
"Choose, choose now!"
"[Affirmative. The system will now open up Guy's specialty list for the host!]"
As soon as the system notification sounded out, Guy's specialty list appeared in Zhang Miao's mind.
Option1:
"[Advanced-level Kick Skill: Leaf Whirlwind, Leaf Strong Whirlwind, Leaf Coiling Whirlwind, and Dynamic Entry]"
"[Note: Kick him them silly! ]"
"[Option2:]"
"[Hot blooded youth: Greatly increases fighting spirit, strength, and endurance. Moderately increases attack speed. Small relief to pain. Smile has a flash effect.]"
"[Note: Burn your youth and have a hot showdown! ]"
"[Option3:]"
"[Eight Inner Gates Formation: Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, Gate of Death. Opening each gate increases your power greatly in succession]"
"[Note: A true secret move that is meant to be used to protect the ones you hold dear by risking your own life."]
After reading these three options, Zhang Miao made his choice without hesitation.
"System, I choose the third option to obtain the Eight Inner Gates Formation!"
Zhang Miao knew very well that although Guy's taijutsu was very powerful, especially his series of kicking skills, this kind of taijutsu was not very useful when facing an evenly-matched enemy.
As for the "Flash effect" part, Zhang Miao chose to ignore it completely.
"Damn it. It's too shameful. Even if it can greatly increase my fighting spirit, strength, and endurance, I don't want it!"
Therefore, in Zhang Miao's view, the only option he should choose out of the three options was the third option.
And most importantly, Zhang Miao could use ordinary ninja fragments as the cost for using them. In other words, as long as he had enough ordinary ninja fragments, Zhang Miao could use the Eight Inner Gates Formation without any injury!
This undoubtedly maximized the value of the jutsu itself!
After Zhang Miao made his choice,
The system's notification rang out.
"[Congratulations to the host for learning the Eight Inner Gates Formation. You have also obtained the corresponding jutsu: Front Lotus, Reverse Lotus, Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, and Night Guy.]"
When he heard this notification, Zhang Miao's heart was immediately filled with joy.
"I finally have a trump card!"
After the white smoke around the room dissipated, a person suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.
This person was wearing a green jumpsuit, a usual green vest, and a Konoha forehead protector on his waist. He had bowl-cut hair and thick eyebrows.
The Noble Green Beast of Konoha, Might Guy, had arrived!
Looking at this familiar person in front of him, Zhang Miao was stunned.
"No way? It's actually the adult version of Guy?"
That's right, the Guy who appeared in front of Zhang Miao at this time was not the young Guy who came to find him every day but the adult Guy from the original work. After Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy, he was put in charge of team Guy.
Seeing Zhang Miao's surprised look, the recruited Guy immediately gave a thumbs up to him and then grinned.
"Yo, master! I will be in your care from now on!"
"..."
Zhang Miao was happy with the recruitment, but he didn't need that flashy smile.
Zhang Miao was a little speechless, but before he could speak, Fukuro opened the door and rushed inside.
"What's going on? Ah... Who are you? You..."
Seeing that there was suddenly another person in the room, Fukuro suddenly became alert. Just as he reached his hand behind his back and was about to pull out the knife on his back, Guy moved.
"Master, look out! Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
"Bang!"
Guy was really fast. Before Fukuro could pull out his knife, he kicked him in the head and sent him flying out of the room.
Zhang Miao was immediately dumbfounded.
"Damn it, Guy! Why did you react so quickly? I haven't said anything!"
However, Zhang Miao also knew that now was not the time for that. Seeing that Fukuro had flown out, he hurriedly ran to the door.
"Hey, Fukuro, are you okay?"
Zhang Miao shouted, but no one responded. He stood at the door and looked out through the moonlight. He immediately found that Fukuro was lying motionless on the ground not far away.
Was this guy dead?
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly trembled all over. He didn't even have time to wear his shoes. He ran to Fukuro's side barefooted and reached out to check his breath.
He was still breathing!
Seeing that Fukuro was still alive, Zhang Miao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he cursed inside his heart.
"Are you really an elite member of the Anbu? According to the system, you are a 6-star Elite Jonin. Just now, you are defeated by a 5-star Jonin. Even if you are just a fodder, you can't be so useless, right?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, although I knew that the combat strength of elite ninjas and ordinary ninjas is very different, I didn't expect it to be so big. It seems that I should recruit less ordinary ninjas in the future!"
While thinking, Zhang Miao reached out to help Fukuro, but he didn't move.
At this time, Zhang Miao realized that although he had the chakra of a Jonin, he still had the strength of a one-year-old child. Unless he used the Eight Inner Gates that he had just learned, he would definitely not be able to help Fukuro.
Of course, Zhang Miao was not stupid enough to open the gates in order to help people, so he immediately turned back to look at Guy, who was in a daze, and glared at him fiercely.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send him to Konoha's hospital!"
