I would like to announce that I released a new fiction titled My Life In The Multiverse, check it out and tell me what you think.

After staying shocked for a while, Guy's eyes suddenly lit up before he gave Bakorio the thumb's up and said "Amazing, this is the spirit, to find a way to take down the strong! That attack was risky but well calculated"

Bakorio glared at him with a look that said 'Are you calling me weak' while Mukai chuckled slightly and said "Well, while Bakorio heals his ugly face, how about we have a spar"

"Sure" said Guy with a grin and Mukai's careless smile soon turned evil "Let's start then, no chakra allowed for now"

"Okay" replied Guy as he positioned himself to attack but Mukai simply took a mouthful of his drink and approached him with a relaxed smile on his face appearing to be completely unbothered by his opponent's possible actions. However, Guy wasn't offended by it because all of his senses were screaming at him to be careful, but he wasn't afraid! Instead, It only fueled his desire to fight and tst himself as he found himself a good challenge!

"HAAA" Yelled Guy as he attacked with a very fast and destructive spinning kick but Mukai calmly ducked to avoid it and punched him away with his free hand that wasn't holding the jug as he said "Too much wasted movements"

"Ugh" muttered Guy as he stood up while clutching his aching chest where he got punched before he attacked again… Yet no matter how much he attacked, Mukai effortlessly evaded his attacks and counterattacked every time!

This was the impact of skill when the physical attributes are similar, Mukai was intentionally using the same speed and power as Guy, yet he was easily beating him back and forth with one hand while smiling smugly at Bakorio from time to time which annoyed the latter to no end…

"Enough" said Bakorio who was healing his face before he said "Use chakra, and Guy, please don't hold back and beat this bastard, I'm sure he won't hold back and will keep tormenting you"

Guy and Mukai slowly retreated from each other and the former said with respect"You are the best Taijutsu user I have ever encountered, but you better start taking me seriously otherwise you will suffer" Guy's eyes were shining in anticipation of the true beginning of their fight!

Mukai smirked at him and took another mouthful of his drink as he said "Oh really? Please show me what you've got"

"Fine" said Guy before he suddenly paused eerily and crossed his arms in front of his chest and said "1st gate The Gate of Opening" nothing seemed to change about Guy, but Mukai's smug look suddenly froze as he felt that something was going on when he saw Bakorio who had his Sharingan activated was showing an intrigued look so he quickly activated his Byakugan.

The moment he did, he noticed that a Tenketsu in Guy's brain, the right hemisphere to be specific was opened, which was an extremely dangerous thing to do, and Guy's chakra begin moving more rapidly throughout their body and it also stimulated their physical energy… Opening this gate allows the user to remove their brain limiters. These limiters usually prevent humans from using their full potential so that they don't end up hurting themselves, but now Guy was slowly getting rid of them and he was about to show the world the terrors he could cause!

"Don't tell me, this is that legendary technique… Is this guy crazy?" muttered Mukai with a questioning look at Bakorio who simply kept watching with intrigue as his Sharingans revolved silently 'This bastard… I finally understand why he wanted to spare with this guy… how dirty' thought Mukai before he refocused his attention on guy that said

"The 2nd gate, The Gate of Healing!" Again nothing seemed to change around Guy, but through their Dojutsu, they could see that the Tenketsu in the left hemisphere of his brain was opened! This gate allows the user to regenerate much more rapidly, and increase their strength slightly

"The 3rd gate, The Gate of Life!" This one, located on the spinal cord, made Guy's skin turn red, It was the first greatest empowerment to Guy as the sheer force of the chakra that was gushing from his body created a buffer zone around him as his eyes slowly turned white. This one allows him to use the full 100% of his body's potential

"Oi oi, is this guy for real? He's gonna get us both hurt at this rate" Asked Mukai who started to get a twisted smile on his face, a smile of pure excitement and thrill, and Guy wasn't done yet

"The 4th gate, The Gate of Pain!" this gate, located also in the spinal cord, was the first step for going beyond the limits as it helps the user suppress their feeling of pain and allows him to reach 200% of his speed!

"The 5th gate, The Gate of Limit!" This gate, located in the abdomen, creates a blue hue around the user and allows him to use 200% of their strength!

By this point, Guy's surrounding was chaotic as the chakra gushing and swirling around his body caused even the ground he was standing on to crack as his hair stood up and stared at Mukai "Here I come"

Bakorio watched as for the first time, Mukai actually threw him his bottle of sake while saying with a cold look "Hold this for me!"

Just as Bakorio held the bottle, the two monsters in front of him clashed! Huge shockwaves caused the ground in tens of meters to crack and huge winds roared through the training ground and threatened to uproot the trees!

"Amazing, Mukai's actually matching him in speed and strength easily…" Bakorio was amazed as he watched Mukai's perfect control of his chakra to use it to increase his speed, as well as the way he used the Hyuga's gentle fist to nullify Guy's attacks easily!

Their fight went on for a few seconds, and Guy seeing that he wasn't getting the upper hand despite all of this, resolved himself and muttered " Konoha's Strong Whirlwind!"

Before he suddenly disappeared at an even faster speed and appeared behind Mukai while using his famous backward spinning kick and he put all of his strength into it! But Mukai was able to react fast enough with his Byakugan and turned around at the right moment and used a highly concentrated Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!

Guy's leg hit the compressed air in front of Mukai's palm and he couldn't touch it at all before he was sent flying away and smashed into a few trees before he stopped and canceled his eight gates Jutsu and kept breathing heavily and wincing in pain since he felt his leg slightly cracking after this attack, and let's not talk about what happened to his muscles…

Meanwhile, Mukai stood there silently while staring at his own arm… It was filled with lacerations and deeps cuts that reached all the way to his bones!

Bakorio quickly went to fetch Guy who already fell unconscious and looked at Mukai "What do you think?"

Mukai let out a long sight before he said "If this was a fight to the death, I could have killed him many times by now… but if he were to open the rest of the gate, I will have no chance in beating him, especially if uses the 8th gate… My loss would be carved in stone, and so is his death!"

Bakorio was intrigued "You are right since the 6th and 7th gates increase the speed and strength of the user by around 500% respectively! But I'm surprised, do you really think you might survive if he uses the 8th gate on you?"

Mukai shrugged and confidently said "Well, I haven't seen it so we can't tell how much it will increase his attributes and for how long... I think I can stall until he burn out"

"Hahahaha" Bakorio couldn't help but laugh loudly startling Mukai before he said "Listen Mukai, never provoke someone who can open all 8 gates, your chances of dying are 100% buddy, the 8th gate is a whole different deal… Now let's get you two treated"

Mukai stared weirdly at Bakorio who was carrying Guy on his back and walking toward Konoha's hospital silently before a new light flashed through his eyes… the light to grow even stronger!

….

In the hospital, Bakorio was scolded by Tsunade for allowing such a thing to happen to Guy but he only put all the blame on the two fighters in question who didn't know how to hold back and ran away back home…
