As for whether Uchiha Shisui's BUG level Genjutsu 'Kotoamatsukami' and the ultimate Genjutsu 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' can work on the Hachimon Tonkou Formation, it's impossible to speculate.
After all, it didn't appear in the Manga.
Maples can't tell.
But he won't let Kotoamatsukami work on him, and he won't let Infinite Tsukuyomi happen, as long as he is immune to most of the Genjutsu, it's enough for him.
This is the reason why he still endured the hardship and continued to practice the Hachimon Tonkou.
775.
776.
777 …
As the number continued to rise, Maples's breathing began to become more and more violent, and sweat kept dripping. Finally, when he reached 777, his arms softened and he couldn't support himself anymore, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
After panting for half a minute, Maples sat up again.
"It's a pity that I can't use time reversal to eliminate fatigue."
Maples shook his head.
Time reversal is to let the body return to the previous state, using time reversal to eliminate fatigue, which is equivalent to not doing these hundreds of push-ups, but it's a helpless thing.
After resting for a few minutes, Maples drank water, looked at the sweat-soaked ground, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, let's go outside."
So that the tent would be full of sweat, and it would be troublesome to clean it.
Outside the tent.
Maples held the back of his head with his hands and began to do squats.
Push-ups, squats, and sit-ups, these three are the most basic exercises, from the arm to the leg to the waist, and it's also the most effective exercise to loosen the Hachimon Tonkou.
221.
222.
223 …
Maples continued to count in his heart.
The squats outside the tent also attracted the attention of some ninjas.
"Hey, what is that guy doing?"
Someone saw Maples's movements and said to his companion who was moving things next to him.
Mori Ibushi was holding a box and looked at the direction of the person next to him. He saw Maples doing squats and couldn't help but show a strange look.
"Is that guy … Is he practicing taijutsu?"
"I think so."
Morinai's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel a little … uh, not very smart? Is that kid really the genius that Orochimaru-Sama accepted as his disciple? "
This was the border!
A battle could break out at any time!
In a place like this, instead of resting and recuperating, he was wasting his energy to train his physical skills. He almost wanted to say, 'Is there something wrong with your brain?', but when the words reached his mouth, he forced himself to say, 'You don't seem very smart.'
After all, Maples was Orochimaru's disciple.
"Who knows?"
His companion beside him shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, "There's no reason to cultivate at a time like this. What were you doing before?"
Mori Mori was also a little annoyed.
If a fight suddenly breaks out, they might have to protect Maples who has no combat power. So, what's the point of stuffing young ninjas like Maples into the vanguard?
If he was still in the village at this time, he would most likely question Orochimaru, but now it's useless to say anything. He has already followed them to the front line, and he can't kick Maples back.
"Forget it, don't worry about it."
Mori Mori Mori finally shook his head and walked into the tent.
In any case, Maples is Orochimaru-Sama's disciple. Even if his behavior is a little stupid, it's Orochimaru's responsibility to teach him. It has nothing to do with them.
As time went by.
Maples went from squats to sit-ups, and then repeated push-ups.
He didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of some ninjas, because he can feel the burning in his body, he can feel that the shackles of the fourth gate of the Hachimon Tonkou, the Gate of Pain, are getting looser and looser!
In this case, although the muscles of his body began to ache, and every movement was more painful than before, he still clenched his teeth and persevered.
The fourth gate is in front of him!
Just a little bit more, and he will be able to open it!
Maples's exercise was not only noticed by other ninjas, but also by Orochimaru. He looked in the direction of Maples from afar, frowning slightly with some doubts in his heart.
"… At this time, he's still practicing Taijutsu?"
Compared to Mori Mori Mori Mori and the others, he is more familiar with Maples. In his opinion, Maples shouldn't be doing such a stupid and meaningless thing.
Maples is wearing weights, and on the way from Konoha to the border, he often takes time to practice. Orochimaru noticed this, but he didn't interfere.
In Orochimaru's view, not slacking under any circumstances, and always working hard to practice, this is an excellent behavior.
But it's different now.
This is the border of the Land of Fire, and a battle may break out at any time. With Maples's wisdom, he should be aware of this point.
Knowing this, Maples still chose to practice. There should be only one possibility, that is, Maples is close to a breakthrough in one of his techniques.
"Hachimon Tonkou …"
After thinking for a while, Orochimaru shook his head slightly and decided not to stop Maples.
The possibility of a sudden battle breaking out now is not high. If Maples is really close to a breakthrough, then it's worth taking a little risk to try to break through.
Maples's strength is estimated to have reached the level of a Jonin. If he can improve a little bit more in Hachimon Tonkou, maybe he can be comparable to an Elite Jonin.
Although the duration may not be long, and there will be a lot of side effects, the combat effectiveness of an Elite Jonin will be very useful even in a battlefield with a large number of ninjas.
Orochimaru didn't choose to interfere.
Even if the other ninjas felt that Maples's behavior was a bit outrageous, but since Orochimaru didn't give any instructions, they had no reason to stop Maples. At most, they could only complain a little.
Originally, they thought that Maples is a Chunin, even if he is very young, he should be more reliable than Dai, but now it seems that he is just as unreliable.
"664 …"
"665 …"
Maples put his hands behind his head and muttered the number of sit-ups in his heart.
Sweat kept flowing down, and he kept trying to get up. He could feel that the strength in his waist and abdomen was reaching its limit, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
The chakra in his body was constantly flowing, and it was constantly converging at the position of the fourth gate of Hachimon Tonkou. He could feel the burning heat in that area, and he could feel a slight tingling pain.
Finally.
After getting up again.
Maples felt that the fourth gate suddenly changed.
The previous weak feeling completely disappeared. He could feel that as long as he wants, he can open the fourth gate of Hachimon Tonkou!
Maples was no stranger to this feeling.
