Breathing techniques strengthen the heart and lungs through breathing to unleash the body's latent power, thus unleashing strength far exceeding normal levels.
The Eight Inner Gates, on the other hand, uses the method of opening acupoints to gradually remove the body's limitations and stimulate its potential.
The methods are different, but there is no essential difference.
It's just that the effects of the Eight Inner Gates are stronger, but the side effects are also greater.
Breathing techniques, Eight Inner Gates, Giant Magic, Great Ape Transformation, and Golden Warrior Transformation
These methods of enhancing strength are fundamentally different.
Breathing techniques and the Eight Gates are similar, stimulating the body.
Giant Magic, Great Ape Transformation, and Golden Warrior Transformation, however, raise the entire body's potential.
It's like a one-meter-long rubber band. Breathing techniques and the Eight Gates continuously stretch the rubber band, making it two meters, ten meters, sixty meters long.
If stretched beyond its limit, the rubber band breaks.
Giant Magic, Great Ape Transformation, and Golden Warrior Transformation directly make that one-meter-long rubber band become a ten-meter-long rubber band, then a fifty-meter-long rubber band. The final effect is the same, but the method is different.
The former cannot be stacked, while the latter can.
A one-meter-long rubber band that has already been stretched to its sixty-meter limit cannot be doubled further.
However, if a one-meter rubber band becomes ten meters long, and then stacked to become five hundred meters long, there's no problem. Moreover, the former and the latter can be stacked.
Therefore, if Goku can withstand the strain and fully master the control of his ki after transformation, his limit could be: first, a tenfold increase in fighting power through Great Ape transformation, then a fiftyfold increase through Golden Warrior form, then a sixfold increase through Giant Magic.
Finally, a sixtyfold increase through activating the Eight Gates, stabilizing the state with Yin Seal: Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Technique.
In total, he could stack an 180,000-fold increase in fighting power on top of his base strength. If he mastered Giant Magic to its peak, increasing it from six times to ten times, that would be a three hundred thousand-fold increase.
However, this is the ideal increase; in reality, at his current level, he's far from achieving such an increase.
Upgrading Giant Magic from six times to ten times shouldn't take much time with Shadow Clone research.
However, achieving the Golden Warrior state while maintaining the Great Ape form is extremely difficult.
Furthermore, his current Golden Warrior state can only be maintained for five seconds; perhaps it can be maintained for a few more seconds after learning the Yin Seal.
Therefore, he still needs to train hard, train hard, and train some more.
At the same time, training his basic combat power is also very important, because only with stronger basic combat power will the amplified effect be stronger.
"Alright, next we should study the Yin Seal. Let's go find Grandma Tsunade."
Sensing the location of Tsunade's aura, Goku immediately Apparated and disappeared from the spot.
At first, when he saw the Fifth Hokage, he thought she was young, but after learning about the Yin Seal, he realized that Tsunade was already over fifty years old.
Konoha Hokage Building, Hokage's office.
"According to the intelligence I just received, Orochimaru is dead. It was probably Sasuke who did it."
Tsunade said, looking at Naruto and Sakura in front of her.
Standing beside her was Jiraiya, who had returned with this information.
"I knew that guy couldn't have been killed by Orochimaru! Great! Is he going back to Konoha?"
Naruto was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with surprise.
Jiraiya shook his head:
"Probably not. He's probably still thinking about revenge against Itachi."
"But the truth about the Uchiha massacre…"
Naruto's words were interrupted by Kakashi, who was leaning against the door.
"The truth about the Uchiha massacre hasn't been fully revealed yet. Only the village ninjas know. Sasuke doesn't know."
"Why isn't it being revealed?"
Naruto asked, somewhat angrily.
He thought the village didn't want to expose the scandal and wanted to deliberately cover up the truth.
However, Tsunade stepped forward and flicked Naruto's forehead hard, leaving a bump on his forehead.
"What are you thinking? I'm not one of those old fogies. I haven't revealed the truth because I'm worried about Itachi's safety."
Tsunade didn't intend to hide anything about Danzo's actions or the truth about the Uchiha clan.
However, if the truth were revealed, the news that Itachi hadn't betrayed the village would reach Sasuke, the Akatsuki, and Madara Uchiha at the same time.
Now that Danzo was still a spy for the Akatsuki, doing so would completely expose him, and he would definitely be purged.
"What should we do? We have no idea where Sasuke is, and we can't contact him."
Sakura's face showed anxiety.
Naruto immediately said:
"Find Itachi! If we find Itachi first, we can find Sasuke and clear up the misunderstanding."
"That's right, but unfortunately Nagato isn't willing to tell us Katsu's current location."
Tsunade sighed.
The Akatsuki members worked in pairs, searching the world for information on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and attempting to capture them.
Therefore, their exact location is unclear. Nagato could contact Akatsuki members using special ninjutsu to inquire about their location and issue missions.
However, although Nagato has been captured and his power sealed, he is unwilling to cooperate.
Furthermore, after Nagato's capture, Madara Uchiha will definitely take action, and it's uncertain whether Nagato's ninjutsu will still be effective.
"What should we do?" Naruto paced anxiously back and forth in his office.
"Are you looking for someone? I have a way."
At this moment, Goku's voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked at Goku, who had appeared in the office at some point, and their faces immediately lit up with surprise.
"Goku, help me! If you find Itachi and Sasuke, I'll treat you to ramen!"
Naruto stepped forward and grabbed Goku's hand.
Everyone's faces were also full of anticipation.
Goku is the man who can destroy the moon, and he also knows some amazing ninjutsu they have never seen before.
Perhaps there's a way to locate Sasuke and Itachi.
"Wait a moment."
Goku closed his eyes and disappeared for about two minutes.
He reappeared, holding an owl.
"Write a letter to Itachi and Sasuke; you can use this to find them."
That's right, during those two minutes, Goku went to Hogwarts and borrowed an owl from Hagrid.
He hadn't met Sasuke and Itachi and didn't know their ki, so he couldn't locate them by sensing their ki.
But that didn't matter. As long as he knew their names, as long as they were still alive and on this planet,
he could use Hogwarts' magical owl to find them by sending a letter.
"Write a letter? An owl?"
Everyone looked at the owl in Goku's hand, completely bewildered. Goku immediately explained the owl's magical abilities, and Tsunade's eyes lit up after listening.
"If it's true, then this owl can not only help us find Itachi and Sasuke, but also the other members of Akatsuki, and that Uchiha Madara!"
