Chapter 766: Chapter 693: Promotion Chapter 766: Chapter 693: Promotion “Mr.
Jack is truly skilled in the art of healing.
Nothing escapes your notice, yet this kind of power I possess cannot be restrained.
It absolutely must not be used against comrades,” Matt Day said with a stern face.
Self-restraint was the principle he had always upheld.
“My ability…
is to protect my comrades…” His tone was light but resolute.
Even during sparring, Tao Yu could feel the other’s awareness.
It must be said that although such people might seem foolish, they were not annoying.
They were quite reliable when it mattered most.
“Oh?
Would Mr.
Day allow me to check your injuries a bit more?
Some of your hidden wounds haven’t been fully treated yet.

However, if you could explain how your ability works, that would be even better.” Tao Yu’s words made Matt Day pause for a moment, but thinking of Tao Yu’s ‘imperial presence,’ after only a brief hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
“Nothing would please me more.”
With Matt Day here, a living test subject whose Eight Gates had already loosened and could be broken through all at once if necessary, along with his explanations, Tao Yu’s own understanding of Chakra, and some Taoist concepts, many enlightenments emerged in his mind.
“The Eight Gates…
could even be considered a type of genetic lock.” Tao Yu reflected.
After the Essence of Fist Intent, by imbuing his whole body with Fist Intention, he felt he could already utilize his body’s hidden potential.
But the Eight Gates were not like that; they seemed more like amplifiers of the body’s locks, forcefully expanding them with no regard!
“However, it’s a bit regrettable that the Eight Gates fundamentally rely on Chakra, which derives from the Divine Tree Energy.
I need to modify it to suit myself, and the effects may be inferior.
Well, it’s not that the effects will be bad, it’s just that my power is too strong.
The margin of improvement can’t reach that level…”
Under the enhancement of his current level of Enlightenment, and with the control of the Essence of Fist Intent, Tao Yu immediately attempted to open Four Gates after listening to Matt Day’s explanation and experiencing it himself during the treatment!
There was no hesitation or threshold; he breezed through the process!
“In theory, for me, it can only purely increase my physical Qi-Blood, but I’m already capable of integrating Vigor, Energy, and Spirit.
It is a fundamental explosive method which can heighten my capabilities, although compared to my overall capacity, it seems a bit low…”
Seeing the newly appeared Eight Gates skill and realizing that the first Deification only required a ten-thousand increase, Tao Yu understood the limitations it imposed on his body.
“If I hadn’t achieved Deification, the Eight Gates would have very limited effects on me.
But with Deification, I can now take a closer look…”
Deification!
Having already completed the second level of Deification, its consumption was still acceptable for Tao Yu without any hesitation.
The experience of merely accelerating his blood circulation with the Four Gates of the Eight Gates instantly began to skyrocket!
The Eight Gates faintly resonated with each other, centering around this resonance, resembling a grand cosmic array.
Eight Gates???: Incomplete record, form an array with the body, capable of merging into a Formation with one’s physique.
This transformation immediately filled Tao Yu with an unusual delight.
Form an array with the body?
Never mind the expansion of using one’s body as a formation; now, after Deification, just the basic function of the Eight Gates already increased his capacity by thirty percent.
Although compared to Matt Guy and Matt Day, this percentage might seem too small.
Yet compared to Tao Yu’s own capacity, the number was quite substantial.
Given that each Gate increased efficiency, unlocking all Eight Gates might potentially yield more than a hundred percent improvement!
The key was having his own Proof of Eternity; whilst it may reduce endurance slightly, side effects such as physical strain were no longer a concern.

The side effects of energy rampages and the difficulty of controlling such power were almost completely negated by the Essence of Fist Intent.
Furthermore, the Eight Gates were like turning oneself into a pierced balloon.
Normally, energy output is steady, but the Eight Gates were like opening holes one after the other, culminating in an explosion when all Eight were open!
In theory, the extreme could allow one to pour out all strength in a short period.
“It’s like a variant substitute for Chakra.”
Although it was just a small trial, Tao Yu was quite satisfied with this discovery.
This was still the most basic version, without yet expanding to use the body as a formation!
If this had been before, the expansion might not have been too exaggerated.
But now…
Within the Innate Barrier lay the Immortal Slayer Sword Formation!
Could he merge the Immortal Slayer Sword Formation with his own body?
Tao Yu found a probable direction but needed to continue the slow process of integrating it.
He had previously underestimated the Eight Gates.
Now it seemed, the benefits of the Eight Gates were no less significant than that of the Nine-Tails!
And that’s not even considering the synergies with the Nine-Tails and other Tailed Beasts.
Typical small Skill, enormous advantage.
However, while Tao Yu continued to perceive and began to heal Matt Day’s body, suddenly, with the swishing sound, more than ten figures had already surrounded the forest.
Some landed on the branches, some directly on the trees, and others stood still on the surface of the stream.
Every one of them used Instantaneous Movement Technique, their appearance alone signified their strength.
“Who’s there?”
Initially, Matt Guy had adopted a defensive stance, but upon seeing the animal masks on the faces of the arrivals, he briefly froze.
Anbu?
He glanced around and saw that more than a dozen Anbu ninjas had already taken up all the most advantageous positions, subtly forming an encirclement.
As a Special Jonin with an excellent tactical sense, Guy could clearly feel the pressure.
Moreover, these Anbu members were very strong, many felt no weaker than himself!
When did this happen?
Why?
“You three must come with us.”
One of the captains, standing on a branch, said in a cold tone.
“Why?”
Although Matt Guy knew that the Anbu operated in secrecy, he couldn’t help but ask.
Could there be some misunderstanding?
“That’s not for you to ask; you should wonder what you have done recently.
Reflect on that as we travel, and when the time comes, I hope you’ll explain everything.”
The tone of the captain remained cold.
“Surrender all your equipment and submit, or we’ll make you comply.”
At that moment, Tao Yu pulled his hand away from Matt Day’s body, signaling him to stand up, and then smiled,
“Who would have thought that Konoha would treat its guests this way?
Are you Anbu members or members of the Root Division?”
Tao Yu couldn’t really distinguish between Anbu and Root, but the roughness of their approach seemed unlike something overseen by a permanent fixture.
Before, he had been complaining about the Ninja World’s grand reconciliation, wondering what Danzo was up to, and now the situation was somewhat ironic.
What’s strange is that Konoha, being so rich in talents now, could Danzo still hold such a key position?
That was somewhat curious.
In theory, Tao Yu thought that Tobirama Senju would have been more suited…
“Hmph, you clearly came prepared, attack!”
Following the captain’s command, a flurry of shuriken and kunai, many tied with steel wires, whizzed through the air towards them.
The Exploding Tags following some kunai were strategically placed to be particularly tricky to deal with.
Just this initial combination was enough to make a Senior Partner feel at a loss.
Their coordination was incredibly synchronous.
The seemingly non-lethal ordinary shuriken and kunai had an effect that transformed the rotten into the miraculous.
Tao Yu watched and couldn’t help but admire.
Such simple, unadorned attacks were actually more effective in real combat.
With the numerical advantage, they needed the quickest and easiest methods, not grand hand seals and ninjutsu.
The shuriken might look unremarkable, but their activation speed was indeed fast.
Even Matt Guy was momentarily struggling to cope, pulling out kunai to dodge and deflect while moving around.
Exploding Tags detonating nearby made it quite challenging for him.
But for Tao Yu, it only took a flash in his eyes.
The Sword of Mind Intent, significantly empowered by the Essence of Fist Intent, instantly turned the myriad of shuriken to dust!
Aside from the Essence of Fist Intent, the Sword of Mind Intent also possessed the attribute of “sword” and simultaneously received the empowerment of Deification “Authority: Sword.”
The originally precise cutting along lines of weakness now appeared in Tao Yu’s eyes as vulnerabilities across the entire screen!
It was only because he was merciful by nature that he didn’t also reduce all the surrounding ninjas to a mist of blood…
With just one move, Tao Yu had caused the pupils of the surrounding Anbu to constrict.
Then, one of them immediately threw a hand signal, and a signal flare shot up into the sky.
Regrettably, this flare had barely taken off before it met the same fate as the shuriken.
Even a strand of the captain’s hair and half an earlobe were severed in sync!
It wasn’t until the pain in his ear manifested and he reached to feel it that his keen ninja perception detected a sting and he realized he had been injured.
Such an overwhelmingly absurd attack genuinely shocked the Root Division captain.
Even though members of the Root were supposed to be emotionless mission machines.
But faced with such a disproportional show of strength, it still sent tremors through his heart.
“We could have killed all of you since you attacked first, but out of respect for Hashirama, I’ll spare your lives for now.
Be grateful…”
Tao Yu chuckled lightly, his eyes sweeping over them.
Pfft~
The clothing, armor, weapons, masks, and even the hair and nails of the encircling Root Division ninjas all instantly exploded into dust!
Not even a single hair was spared!
Mites, pimples, blackheads were all cleansed in sync!
