Might Guy vs. Sakura!
The other Jonin who were watching the ceremony were somewhat surprised.
The voices then became restless.
"What's going on? Did they choose Might Guy as the examiner?"
"Might Guy is a pure Taijutsu- type ninja, Sakura Haruno is Ninjutsu- type. Is the Lord Hokage planning to use Taijutsu- type to counter Ninjutsu- type? That's going to be very interesting!"
"Those two could fight to the death... I think we should back off a bit!"
"Ninjutsu versus Taijutsu, who's stronger? Sakura Haruno can instantly defeat those masters, so she should be slightly better, right?"
"Not necessarily! This is an assessment, not a life-or-death battle. Those kinds of killer moves can't be used. It'll be very difficult. Might Guy might have an easier time!"
"That's right, Might Guy's speed... especially after he opens the Eight Gates Released Formation! I was lucky enough to team up with him before and saw him open the Five Gates, instantly killing an enemy Jonin with a single punch. He's incredible! Even the eyes can't keep up with his speed, let alone ordinary Ninjutsu... It all depends on whether Sakura Haruno's Ninjutsu can keep up with Might Guy's Taijutsu!"
Tsunade heard these comments but smiled without saying a word.
Many Jonin in the village still only have hearsay about Sakura Haruno.
Admittedly, the Jonin sitting here are all Elite Jonin strong abilities and high status. They have the right to access some of Sakura Haruno's low-level information. However, apart from a few people with strong curiosity, most people don't have the time to learn about someone whose name they've only heard of but have no connection with.
Therefore, many of their guesses are erroneous.
Even the Third Hokage is now quite curious about Sakura's strength, since updated data always lags behind the actual situation.
The one-armed old man saw the faint smile on Tsunade's lips, thought for a moment, and then smiled as well.
"It doesn't necessarily mean Ninjutsu is the same as Taijutsu?" he muttered to himself.
On the field, Might Guy, dressed in a green bodysuit, stood in front of Sakura Haruno.
"Might Guy-sensei, nice to meet you." The pink-haired girl standing opposite him bowed politely and greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Haha! If we're talking about giving pointers, I should be the one asking you for advice!" Might Guy laughed heartily, revealing the truth about this assessment match without any pretense. If you ignore his thick eyebrows and bowl cut, this Jonin specializes in Taijutsu is straightforward and earnest, and is actually a ninja worth befriending; admitting that he is not as good as others is not a shameful thing for Might Guy.
On the contrary, such a fact will only further ignite his enthusiasm for training and improving himself, as well as his strong fighting spirit to challenge masters!
"I've always considered Kakashi my lifelong rival, but I never expected that Kakashi's student would surpass both of us so quietly! Well done, Sakura!" Might Guy raised his left hand, gave Sakura a thumbs-up, and said earnestly, "However, as teachers, our youthful passion hasn't cooled down yet, so we can't let you have all the glory! Right, Kakashi?"
"..." Kakashi, standing on the sidelines, covered his face. When using words like "youthful passion," how could he not include him?
On the field, the two released their Seal of Confrontation, and the assessment officially began. Might Guy slowly assumed a preparatory stance for Taijutsu, a posture resembling a white crane spreading its wings.
He grinned, revealing eight gleaming white teeth, and finally said, "Alright! Let's have a good, good fight!"
Sakura Haruno's faint smile suddenly froze.
Aside from his overly exaggerated and cringe-worthy movements and appearance, Might Guy's words were quite passionate; the only problem was—
The reflection of teeth can be so bright it's blinding!
She narrowed her eyes, and the moment her eyelids drooped, Might Guy vanished from the spot.
"What incredible speed!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Might Guy's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to keep up. In just an instant, he appeared behind Sakura and delivered a side kick as fast as lightning!
Konoha Whirlwind!
Snap!
The powerful and urgent kick was firmly blocked by Sakura Haruno's arm!
She barely flinched as she blocked the kick; the girl stood calmly, her gaze simply returning to Might Guy behind her.
Might Guy's speed is far from being too fast for Cherry Blossom Impact to react to!
The instant their eyes met, Might Guy withdrew his left leg; Sakura Haruno, however, turned and kicked out with a powerful mid-level side kick, aiming straight for Might Guy!
Nintaijutsu: Wing Chun Hidden Kick!
Bang!
Might Guy clenched his fists in front of his chest and was kicked away more than ten meters away; although Sakura Haruno held back her strength, the enormous power unleashed by her Monstrous Strength Technique was still astonishing, and the one with greater strength won the first clash of Taijutsu.
Thud. The browed ninja landed steadily on the ground, shook his arm, and a gray footprint was clearly visible on his arm.
"Is this the power of Monstrous Strength Technique...?" His gaze gradually turned serious.
What Might Guy felt was an unstoppable and immense force; for Taijutsu ninja, this kind of force was really troublesome. Even with his body that had been tempered and trained over thousands of years, his arm was a little numb after taking such a kick head-on!
Moreover, judging from the Chakra can feel, it's obvious that Sakura Haruno hasn't unleashed her full Monstrous Strength Technique yet.
"Furthermore, the reaction speed is also very fast..."
As for the power aspect, Might Guy had expected it. What surprised him was that the attack he just made was so easy to stop Sakura Haruno's attack. This was not the reaction speed that a typical Ninjutsu- type ninja should have!
"As expected! Sakura, you truly deserve to be called a ninja who can fight against Kakuzu, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Deidara. Even your weak point Taijutsu, is not your weakness!" Might Guy said seriously.
"Might Guy-sensei, shouldn't we end this probing now..." Sakura Haruno's faint smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Don't hesitate, attack with all your might!"
"Okay... let's do it again!" Might Guy narrowed his eyes slightly and tensed his body.
Then, his figure vanished again!
The speed was even faster than before... Before the ninjas present could even be surprised, they only saw a blur before the thick-browed ninja appeared in front of the girl, delivering a powerful punch straight down on Sakura's face!
The force of the punches was unstoppable, the sound like a tiger's roar; the wind from the punches was fierce and powerful, howling like thunder!
Is this the technique of Konoha's strongest Taijutsu ninja? Sakura Haruno thought with a chill!
If someone were to take that attack head-on, even a Jonin would likely lose their fighting ability on the spot!
With a whoosh, Sakura Haruno abruptly turned her head to avoid the attack. The punch grazed past her ear, the wind from the punch causing her long hair to fly wildly backward.
Might Guy's punch missed, and his hand reached out to Sakura's ear.
She then grabbed Might Guy's outstretched arm and launched a flying kick at Might Guy lower body, skillfully employing Nintaijutsu kicking technique with fierce and ruthless power!
Nintaijutsu: Wing Chun Hidden Kick!
With a whooshing sound, the girl stretched out her leg and made a whistling sound as it swiftly cut through the air. The kick was fast and fierce, sweeping towards Might Guy, but it landed on empty air!
"The movement was too obvious!" The moment she raised her foot, Might Guy had already seen through her intention; his eyes narrowed, but he used the force from her hand to leap into the air and dodge the kick.
In mid-air, he exerted force in his waist, spun around, and shook his leg, his thick and powerful long leg sweeping out through the air, slicing straight into Sakura Haruno's ribs!
Another Konoha Whirlwind!
Just as the girl was recovering from her missed kick, Might Guy's timing was perfect, striking Sakura at her most vulnerable moment!
He truly deserves to be called Konoha's strongest Taijutsu ninja.
However... he still underestimated Sakura Haruno's reaction! The moment he was airborne, Sakura, exhausted and having used up all her strength, reacted. She gritted her teeth, tensed her waist muscles, and instantly regained her balance; as Might Guy kicked out, she quickly ducked and ducked to dodge!
A gust of wind swept past her head, and Sakura barely dodged the attack;
Despite his seemingly sure-fire strike missing its mark, Might Guy remained expressionless. He braced himself with his hands on the ground, and as his left leg swept over Sakura's head, his right leg was already up.
Then, with an unbelievable burst of power, he turned around and delivered another heavy kick!
Continuous Konoha Whirlwind!
The exchange of two or three moves, which seemed long, actually took less than a second.
In that instant, Might Guy's fist missed its mark; in the next instant, Sakura kicked out with a fierce kick; then, Might Guy used the momentum to leap into the air, dodging Sakura's attack while delivering a powerful kick.
The offensive and defensive positions shifted continuously. The moment Might Guy's heavy kick was dodged, he turned and launched a second heavy kick!
Yay!
Sakura Haruno neither dodged nor evaded. The moment Might Guy turned and kicked, she steadied herself, raised her head, and immediately roared angrily. She then brought her right hand to her waist and threw a punch!
Star Cannon Hammer!
This punch didn't even have time to unleash the full power of the Monstrous Strength Technique before it met Might Guy's heavy kick head-on.
However, the force of his punch remained powerful and solid, fierce as a tiger! It was hard to imagine that Sakura Haruno could still unleash such a masculine punch at a time like this!
Bang!
Two equally powerful kicks and punches collided violently. With the aid of Chakra, their fists and feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and as tough as steel. The collision produced a heavy, suffocating sound that made one's chest feel tight.
The relentless attacks made the spectators instinctively hold their breath. The two fighters exchanged blows with lightning speed, launching one offensive after another, creating a series of climaxes that thrilled the audience!
Hah! Angry shouts and yells.
Bang! Crack! The sounds of fists striking each other, bones and muscles colliding.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The powerful sounds of punches and kicks.
Intertwined!
