Chapter 50 Konoha's Best Father

After the two finished crying, Sōseki asked in confusion, "Dai-senpai, where does your power come from? I am a little worried, as that power seems to be too great!"

Guy became a little worried when he heard it. He understood that his father was just a Genin who suddenly mastered a power that was so terrifying from what Sōseki said. 'Could it be some forbidden ritual?'

Duy smiled confidently upon hearing this, "This is the power that I have only mastered after 20 years of training – Eight Gates Technique!"

Guy tilted his head, expressing his puzzlement, "Eight Gates Technique?"

Sōseki exclaimed in surprise, "Eight Gates Technique is the top-level Taijutsu developed by Nidaime Hokage-sama, but it's only A-Rank, so it shouldn't be possible..." (T/N: In truth, it is unknown who is the creator of Eight Gates Technique. But in here, it is said to be created by Tobirama.)

"The Eight Gates Technique may not be possible, but the Eight Gates Released Formation after I opened the last gate..." Duy said, and his eyes are extremely confident and powerful, "It can definitely reach the level of a Forbidden Technique!"

Guy was stunned at this moment. This is the first time he saw such a glorious father.

"It may have only taken a few days for Nidaime Hokage-sama to develop Eight Gates Technique, but it took me 20 years to master it. However, doesn't this just mean that ordinary people can surpass geniuses by relying on hard work?" Duy yelled shouted with high fighting spirit, "Guy, you can definitely do it too!"

Guy burst into tears in an instant, "Dad, I will definitely do it!"

'Is it a semi-finished product?' Sōseki was completely unaffected by the father and son, and just nodded secretly, 'The last gate of Eight Gates Technique needs to be paid by life. Nidaime Hokage should be aware of this, that's why he didn't continue to develop it.'

'It is also possible that he originally developed a technique to cooperate with Impure World Reincarnation, but later discovered that Eight Gates Technique's last gate consumes the source of life, and the dead don't have this, therefore, he turned his attention to the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.'

As Sōseki pondered, Duy put his hands on Guy's shoulders again, "This technique was obtained by dad as a graduation gift..."

Guy was taken aback upon hearing this, 'No wonder. With the contribution that dad got from completing the D-Rank missions, even if he did it 1,000 times, he still couldn't get an A-Rank technique!

"Because I knew that my innate talent was too bad, as it is even for me to learn B-Rank Ninjutsu, I chose this one. In the introduction, as long as I work hard, I will be able to learn this technique!"

"However, the training progress of this technique is really too slow. When the other students have started to take the C-Rank Mission, I am still training. When the other students have become Chunin, I am still training!"

"Dad didn't tell you because dad is worried that after you chose this technique..."

"Dad, I will definitely succeed in my training!" Guy suddenly shouted loudly, "Because, I have the best father like you!"

Duy was stunned and burst into tears, "Guy, then you must get stronger than dad!"

Guy gave a thumbs up, "I will definitely do it!"

Just when the two of them were about to hug each other and cry, Sōseki quickly interrupted, "Duy-senpai, although I don't know how powerful you are, you are just a Genin, but I can recommend you to Tsunade-sensei."

Hearing Sōseki's words, Guy suddenly got excited, "That's great. Dad, you can finally stop doing D-Rank missions!"

However, after pondering for a moment, Duy slowly shook his head.

"Dad, why are you..."

"Guy, do you remember what dad said when dad found out that your Ninjutsu and Genjutsu's aptitudes were not good?"

Guy nodded heavily and said, "You said that it's actually a good thing for me to not good at Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, because knowing my shortcomings can make my strong points shine!"

"Everything has two sides. Although Genin is not as glamorous as Jōnin, it also means freedom!" Duy gave a thumbs up and grinned at Guy, "Because if I'm a Genin, even if I go to the battlefield, no one will care, in that case, I can protect my most precious thing!"

Hearing this, Guy burst into tears in an instant, "Dad!"

Duy was in turn infected by Guy, "Son!"

'No wonder he was able to arrive in time during the original work. It turns out that he has been following Guy from the distance to protect him?' Sōseki was shocked, and immediately shook his head again, "It's not just that. Actually, Genin also has to be assigned with missions, and only Genin like him, who no one wants, can truly do this!"

'In this cruel world, he may be regarded as the best father!' Sōseki sighed in his heart, and silently retired, leaving time for the father and son.

...

A few days later, another father's house.

Since realizing that his plot is useless, Yûhi Shinku didn't bother to take Sōseki to train outside.

At least that way, Kurenai can still be happier.

With a sad sigh, Shinku asked, "Sōseki, how are your training?"

Sōseki slightly shook his head and said, "It still won't work."

"Don't worry, B-Rank Genjutsu was originally a dividing line, and you are setting a record to learn this level of Genjutsu at the age of six!"

Saying that, Shinku shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that you spent a year on laying a solid foundation last year, otherwise, this record would have been advanced by another year."

In his opinion, Sōseki was a little confused in the basics, and it took a whole year to consolidate what he had learned in two months.

"However, this may be the willfulness of a genius!" Thinking that he had studied the basics for two years, and was praised by his teacher as a genius in Genjutsu, Shinku only felt that his old face was a little hot.

Sōseki accepted the compliment with a smile, but he actually didn't care.

After all, this so-called record of his will soon be broken.

A genius who graduated at the age of five and was able to use A-Rank ninjutsu - Multiple Shadow Clones Technique in his class.

'However, if I am not distracted by Medical Ninjutsu with my talent in Genjutsu, I should be able to do it too.' Sōseki thought to himself, with a calm expression on his face, "Although I still don't have a clue, I already have some ideas."

"You need to always very assertive. When you have an idea, just do it." Shinku was very relieved about Sōseki.

"But this time, I am also a little confused. I don't know if this is the right to do this." Sōseki said hesitantly.

After hearing what Sōseki said, Shinku also became serious.

"When I was training, I realized that when my Genjutsu encountered a bottleneck, I let go of my thoughts and went to study Medical Ninjutsu. When I looked back, I found that the bottleneck of my Genjutsu had been broken unknowingly."

"Is there such a thing?" Shinku was dazed. Although he is also a genius in the normal sense, specializing in Genjutsu is already very strenuous for him, and he had no spare energy to learn other things like Sōseki.

Sōseki nodded earnestly. The school teachers in his previous life also said that when you are tired from doing math papers, you might as well take an English test to change your mood.

The combination of "work and rest" is very reasonable!

"So, I've been thinking these days. Can Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, be similar to each other?"

'Two fields can't satisfy you anymore…?' Shinku opened his mouth, subconsciously thinking that he hoped Sōseki would approve of his own specialization in Genjutsu last year, 'If that really happened, wouldn't Sōseki teach me now?'

(A/N:Kakashi can use Multiple Shadow Clones Technique when he is in the Academy, in episode 639 of the anime.)
