Chapter 27-Surpassing the Limits of Humanity
Me: Well, it's time to start Tid's immunity training.
Twilight: I'll handle the disclaimer. Tid doesn't own the rights to Naruto Shippuden or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Me: Well then, let's begin.

When I was released from the hospital, Itachi and I got to work immediately on the special training. "Alright, now, how shall we begin?" I asked. "Well, I think the best way to go about this would be to train while the Gates are open, so as to build an immunity and effectively neutralize the drawbacks." He said. I nodded. "Sounds good to me." I said. I opened the Seventh Gate. Itachi took a few steps back. "Alright, Tid. Go ahead then." I trained for hours in the Seventh Gate mode, and eventually the sun was beginning to set. I fell to my knees and started panting heavily. "Tid, how do you feel?" Itachi said. "I feel, as if I could die." I said. "Don't be like that, I know you are stronger than that." He said. I smiled. "Yeah, thanks." I said. He helped me up and we walked back to our house. He wrapped me in bandages and prepared some of his ever so powerful medicine food pills. "So, how long do you think we have until the final battle?" I asked Itachi. "You worry too much. Discord isn't the only thing that has been happening, if you haven't noticed." He said. "Oh, right. Sorry." I said. We remained silent for a few seconds. "So, how have you been doing?" I asked him. "Well, I've been doing well. I haven't really done a whole lot of training, to be honest." He said. "Oh? And why not?" I asked. "I've been...Busy." He said. "Busy? With what?" I asked. He started to blush. "It's nothing." He said. "You met someone, didn't you?" I asked. He remained silent. "Holy crap, you did!" I said. "No, I didn't." He said unconvincingly. "I don't believe you." I said. He stood up. "I'm going to bed now." He said. I stood as well. "Yeah, I might as well too. We've got more training tomorrow." I said. He nodded. We walked up the stairs and went to bed.
The next morning Itachi and I went into the forest for my ritual, then back to yesterday's training grounds. We trained vigorously for the next few weeks, and eventually I was able to finish a full day of training in the Seventh Gate without even breaking a sweat (well, besides the aura of evaporated sweat that comes with it anyway). I looked at Itachi. "I think I've mastered the Eight Gates." I said. "I think you have too. So, are we ready to face Discord?" He asked. "Almost. There's one thing I want to take care of before that happens, though." I said. "And that would be?" He asked. "Well, you remember the conversation we had about the Six Paths Technique, right?" I asked. He nodded. "There you go." I said.

Me: Well, that was a short one, but it was a chapter that needed to be created. The stage is almost set, I wonder how long it will be before it happens?
Tid: No you don't, you already know.
Me: Yeah, but it's fun messing with people. Anyway, as always, favorite, follow, and please leave a review! Let me know how I'm doing as well as any suggestions you guys might have! Thank you and see you next time!
