Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Chapter 216 Two People's Persistence

"Huchihuchi..."

Two hours later, at the foot of Mount Tenfu, Suzumiya Musashi and Uzumaki Karin arrived here one after another.

Looking up at the top of Tianfu Mountain, the entire mountain that was originally visible now only allows you to see the mountainside towering into the clouds. As for the top of the mountain, it has been covered by a light cloud.

Suzumiya Musashi looked at Uzumaki Karin behind him and said, "See if you can hold on?"

Uzumaki Karin: "Of course."

"Well, let's go up the mountain!"

Mount Tenfu is extremely high in altitude, but the slope is not steep. Even ordinary people can try to climb the mountain. For a ninja like Suzumiya Musashi, it is no problem at all.

What really challenges him is the height of the mountain.

Even if the arc is not steep, once the height reaches a certain level, it will become a long torture.

Suzumiya Musashi and Uzumaki Karin climbed hard, and after another two hours, they stopped to rest for a while.

"Karin, how is it?"

Uzumaki Karin calmed her breathing, allowing her chest, which seemed about to explode, to slowly recover.

She raised her head, but the top of the mountain was still out of sight. Looking down, it seemed that she had only climbed less than a third of the way.

And her strength was almost exhausted.

Seeing that there were more than two-thirds of the journey left, Uzumaki Karin began to have doubts.

Can I really reach the top of the mountain?

She couldn't be sure either.

Looking at Suzumiya Musashi's concerned gaze, she hid her doubts in her heart and shook her head.

"I am fine."

"Just take a break."

The two took out ration pills and water bottles to replenish their strength.

After a few minutes, the energy in the body slowly recovered. With the blessing of the Uzumaki clan's physique, Uzumaki Karin recovered quickly. Before long, strength filled her body again.

"I can do it."

Suzumiya Musashi didn't waste any words: "Let's go!"

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The road ahead seems to have no end.

After crossing one steep slope, there is the next steep slope.

After one piece of gravel, there is the next piece of gravel.

Suzumiya Musashi keeps climbing.

Sweat soaked all his clothes, and his shoes fell on the rocks, leaving clear footprints.

Physical strength was being consumed rapidly all the time, and muscles all over the body were making familiar groaning sounds.

His gaze remained firm.

It's just a matter of hurrying on the road.

On this road, there are no enemies, no traps, the only difficulty is himself.

So, what are you afraid of?

No need to hesitate, no need to think.

He walked up step by step.

Just like the path he has walked over the years.

The physical strength is decreasing.

Without unlocking the Yin Seal, he felt that he had already reached his limit.

The bottleneck of his body that was on the verge of collapse caused hallucinations to appear before his eyes.

There are no gold, silver, or jewelry, and no beautiful women.

Yes, it was the four-year-old boy who was trying to survive in the ninja world.

He saw ferocious beasts in the thorns and passers-by who drew their swords to vent their anger.

He saw the glaring Aoba Project conscription order and the deep-eyed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

climb.

Keep climbing.

He saw enemies roaring and wielding kunai on the battlefield.

I saw Uchiha Itachi imprisoned in the vessel.

I saw Danzo with cold eyes.

One by one, some cold and some crazy faces flashed before his eyes. Suzumiya Musashi endured the fishy and sweet taste in his chest and continued to walk up.

It's all an illusion.

They are all insignificant obstacles.

There may be more illusions ahead.

There are the Five Kage, Obito, and Uchiha Madara.

There is also the Otsutsuki who hangs high in the sky, overlooking the ninja world.

But it is just an illusion.

In his heart, there are only Acorus and others.

Behind him, there was only Uzumaki Karin.

Suddenly, six hours had passed since they set out from the foot of the mountain. During these six hours, the two replenished their water and food several times. When they looked up, they could already vaguely see the top of the mountain.

But I can't see under my feet.

Suzumiya Musashi estimated that they had already climbed about two-thirds of the way, with less than one-third left, or perhaps even less.

Every once in a while, Suzumiya Musashi would turn around and observe Uzumaki Karin's condition to make sure that she would not hurt herself by trying to show off her strength.

This was his only worry.

"How do you feel? Can you still hold on?" After crossing a steep slope, Suzumiya Musashi turned around and asked.

Uzumaki Karin hunched over and gasped for breath.

Her face was very pale.

Her strength had been exhausted many times.

Even the Uzumaki clan's physique has its limits, and now she feels that she has reached her limit.

Even if he used Bingliang Pills to replenish his strength, the recovery speed was far slower than before.

"Huchihuchi~"

The intense breathing could not be calmed for a long time.

Uzumaki Karin really wants to tell the truth to Suzumiya Musashi.

I am already exhausted. Even with the Bingliang Pills, I can't hold on any longer.

How about this?

Uzumaki Karin wanted to say the words that were circling on her lips several times, but she felt that she couldn't say them.

Looking at Suzumiya Musashi, whose face was pale and the blood at the corner of his mouth was still visible even after being secretly wiped off, she couldn't say anything.

The Uzumaki clan's super strong perception allowed her to easily understand Suzumiya Musashi's physical condition.

The other party's condition is even worse than hers.

Rather than tempering the body, it would be more accurate to say that the other party is tempering his spirit.

His physical strength was consumed greatly and his chakra was almost exhausted. Starting from the mountainside, the opponent had been relying on his perseverance to hold on.

And this is all because of the weight on the other party.

From the beginning to the end, the specially made weight block has been receiving a steady output of chakra without any change.

【why? 】

Uzumaki Karin couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

Human physical strength has its limits.

Human will also has its limits.

But why does Suzumiya Musashi act as if there is no limit?

The Eight Gates of Ninjutsu are clearly not activated!

why?

Why you can transcend the limits of the human body.

Why can you face the long-term suffering that no human can handle with a calm face?

Why, ever since I met you, you have been like a tireless machine, always practicing, practicing, practicing...

She wanted to ask, but she seemed to have no strength to open her mouth.

In her slightly blurred consciousness, she could only see a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes looked at him worriedly, as if they were looking at the most precious treasure.

"I...I'm fine..."

"Don't force yourself." Suzumiya Musashi said with a serious expression.

"I'm really fine." Uzumaki Karin said with all her strength: "If my body can't hold on any longer, I'll tell you."

Even though she said that, Suzumiya Musashi was still worried.

He walked forward and used his limited chakra to simply check Uzumaki Karin's condition. He was relieved when he found that she didn't have any injuries.

"If you can't hold on, stop, okay?" he emphasized again.

Uzumaki Karin nodded.

Only then did Suzumiya Musashi set out again.

Looking at his back, Uzumaki Karin had a complicated look in her eyes.

She might have guessed it, or she might never guess why Suzumiya Musashi was so persistent.

She only knew that she didn't want to stop.

Just like the reason why she proposed to learn the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

I don't want to be a burden to you forever.

I don't want to always look up at you.

I want to become stronger.

I want to stand by your side, or at least follow behind you.

Since I have chosen the path of physical training, how could I give up?
