63 Trial 1 (2/2)
He had an actual theory about the place he was stuck in, from his observation this place should be inside his soul, and because this place is basically his territory he should have the power to manipulate it. While dodging some of the attacks and receiving a dozen, he felt it finally the chakra that was inaccessible. After gaining chakra he started pushing back, healing his body all while countering the attacks, after numerous exchanged he finally managed to kill the doppelganger. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, the supposedly dead doppelganger started trashing around and soon he stood up, this time the pressure he emanated was stronger, his body no longer gave of steam but his body gave off a dangerous aura.
Saito: ”Oh my god again!”
Saito also activated his third phase chakra mode opening all gates up to the seventh, he started again clashing with the doppelganger. Surprisingly this time he was the one being pushed back, unlike the first time the doppelganger was using chakra sword and advanced Taijutsu attacks to their fullest potential, and Saito was still tired from his first battle, but he still persisted.
After numerous clashes Saito decided to take a desperate measure, he never had the courage to use it but now he felt that he could no longer hold back.
Saito: ”I hope, I won't regret this!”
Without any hesitation he activated the eighth gate, his power rose to a freakish level.And to his surprise he didn't feel the strong backlash he expected. He felt as if he finally managed to complete a puzzle. His next attack directly obliterated the doppelganger, but this time he didn't let his guard down, he started observing his surroundings, and just as he expected another Doppelganger appeared and to his surprise two others appeared, using the eighth gate gave him enormous power but it also drained his stamina and chakra at a crazy fast pace. Each one of the Doppelgangers entered an elemental sage mode with the main one using Wood sage mode.
Saito: ”Is this some kind of test?”
System: ”Yes, You have achieved something that was never done before, fusing two natural chakra types, this opened a new possibility for you to understand a universal law, if you manage to pass this trial you will gain immense power.”
Saito was already fighting his clones, even using his perfected third phase he was being pushed back, mostly due to the Wood sage clone, that restored any damage it received or the two others received.
Saito: ”But why didn't, I have access to my stats earlier?”
System: ”It was deemed necessary that you had to be alone in order for you to concentrate on sensing your surroundings.”
Saito: ”So is there a way for me to clear this trial or is it going to keep going like this.”
The System didn't respond to him, Saito for now could only concentrate hard on fighting the clones in front of him. He knew that he couldn't keep fighting this way ore he would be killed.
