The so-called "Sage Body Technique" had never been documented before.
After all, the only mention of Sage techniques in any of the ancient Konoha texts was that the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had once possessed such an ability.
Guy listened, bewildered, but his heart was filled with anticipation.
After all, the word "Sage seemed to be associated with the Sage of Six Paths throughout history.
"What is the Sage Body Technique?" Guy couldn't wait to ask.
"As the name suggests, it's a type of Sage technique, an sage's physical arts," Makoto pondered, explaining.
"What I asked you to do was to adjust your state so that you can control your chakra more precisely."
Makoto picked up a book and placed it upright on the desk.
Then he said to Guy, "You're about three meters away from this book. I want you to use the chakra inside you to knock it down."
This...
Guy looked surprised, not understanding what Makoto was trying to do.
But he still followed the instructions, assuming a stance with both hands forming palms, as if preparing to release a ki blast.
Guy stared intently at the book on the desk, then shouted loudly.
A gust of wind shot out from his palms, instantly scattering all the papers on the desk into the air.
Makoto: "..."
Guy was startled when he saw this, then he looked embarrassed. "I'll clean this up."
Makoto sighed helplessly.
Guy's control over chakra was far lower than he had imagined.
"Alright, come with me."
Makoto led Guy to the rooftop of the Hokage building, then called for Hakumen.
"You two haven't sparred in a while, have you?"
"It's been about a week," Guy thought for a moment.
"I haven't had a proper sparring session with Kakashi either for some time."
"Who's stronger in physical arts?" Makoto asked again.
"Guy," Hakumen answered before Guy could, knowing that Guy would say the same about himself.
Guy scratched his head, grinning humbly, "Don't say that, Hakumen is also really strong. I've lost to him more than once."
Hakumen said, "Since you've opened the Eight Gates, I haven't won even once."
Makoto was well aware of Hakumen's strength and immediately had a rough idea of Guy's abilities: "Guy, how many gates of the Eight Gates can you open?"
Guy gently scratched his cheek, "Six gates, but it's very taxing, and I can only maintain it for a short time."
Makoto pondered for a moment, realizing that Guy's talent was likely a bit higher than Lee's.
At this point, with Guy being able to open six gates, even most Jonin would not stand a chance.
He then said, "For the next few days, you two won't be on duty. You can spar properly."
Guy and Hakumen were both surprised.
What does this mean?
Makoto continued, "However, the sparring has limitations. It's not about physical combat. You will be battling using chakra that you release from your bodies."
Hakumen quickly understood the concept of "chakra release."
The Hyuga clan had always practiced techniques based on this, such as the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven and Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.
As a branch family member, Hakumen was originally not allowed to learn these high-level techniques, but Makoto had personally taught them to him.
After all, as his personal guard, if Makoto didn't care for him, no one else would.
"I'm not asking you to defeat Hakumen," Makoto said to Guy.
"Just being able to fight him evenly, back and forth, will suffice. Once you reach that level, I'll teach you the true Sage Body Technique."
"During the sparring, you're allowed to use the Eight Gates, but all attacks and defenses must be performed using chakra released from your body."
"You can consult Hakumen often. He's an expert in this area."
After hearing this, Guy was eager to start.
Clenching his fists, he said excitedly, "Don't worry, I'll meet the standard soon!"
He couldn't wait to test himself against Hakumen.
On the rooftop, he immediately took up a stance.
However, things were far from simple.
Even knocking down a book using his chakra required considerable effort, so applying it in combat was clearly unrealistic.
Hakumen effortlessly struck him down with an Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, though he had restrained his strength.
"You two take your time."
After saying this, Makoto descended from the rooftop, leaving the two behind.
He had a reason for making Guy undergo this kind of training.
The Sage Seal could allow him to skip the step of mastering Sage Mode, but it still required higher-level combat techniques to fully utilize its potential.
Otherwise, it would be a waste.
In the original story, after entering Sage Mode, Naruto was able to use Frog Kata, enhancing his destructive power and attack range with natural energy.
After entering Sage Mode himself, Makoto also discovered that controlling natural energy felt as effortless as moving his own limbs.
This sparked the idea of Sage Taijutsu in his mind.
Sage chakra could elevate a person's speed and strength to an entirely new level, but that alone was not enough in Makoto's eyes.
During attacks, all the chakra in the surrounding environment should assist in the offense — that would be the true level a Sage should attain!
Upon returning to the office, Samui was busy organizing the files, which had been scattered everywhere earlier by Guy.
Everything had now been neatly collected.
Now that Makoto had successfully mastered Sage Mode, he could formally begin the development of the Sage Seal.
This was different from the conventional ninja sealing techniques; it had to be precisely aligned with the individual's chakra capacity.
Guy was a particularly unique case.
Before opening the Eight Gates, his chakra levels were not outstanding, making it relatively easy for him to enter Sage Mode through the Sage Seal.
However, once he activated the Eight Gates, his chakra would surge dramatically.
This would inevitably cause an imbalance between natural, physical, and spiritual energies.
Therefore, Makoto had to inscribe seven different levels of Sage Seals on him.
Each seal would correspond to a specific chakra level within Guy, allowing him to open the Eight Gates while maintaining balance, thus achieving true Sage Taijutsu!
Makoto believed this idea would allow Guy to surpass his original potential and reach a level far beyond what was depicted in the original story.
By then, kicking Uchiha Madara to pieces wouldn't even be a noteworthy accomplishment.
The Sage Seal would be a revolutionary creation, marking the transition of the Naruto world from the "Sharingan era" into the "Seal era."
However, mass production remained extremely challenging.
Each Sage Seal required Makoto's personal attention, so for now, it could only be applied to his trusted subordinates.
Hakumen, Guy, Kakashi... and the group of children under Nonou's command.
Given time, once they had all grown, they would become an unimaginably formidable force.
This led Makoto to further reflections.
While granting them power, he also had to establish a means of control.
The Sage Seal couldn't just provide strength — it had to include additional elements to ensure that if these people ever developed independent thoughts in the future, they wouldn't turn against him.
Makoto felt that the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal might be worth modifying.
