Might Guy vs. Sakura (2)!
The battle between the two players on the field captivated the attention of everyone present.
Most of the ninjas watching couldn't help but ask themselves: How long can I hold out against such an attack?
As the undisputed strongest Taijutsu ninja in Konoha, Might Guy's combat power is incredibly strong in close combat. Most Jonin can't even withstand one or two moves before they fall. Although the people present are elite Jonin, apart from a few other Taijutsu- type ninjas, none of them have enough confidence to withstand Might Guy's full-force attack.
Therefore, their expressions were solemn.
They watched the two fight without uttering a word.
Good Ninjutsu is good for Taijutsu! How can a Ninjutsu- type ninja have such strong Taijutsu abilities?
The two Hokage on the sidelines, however, looked much more relaxed.
"What do you think?" Tsunade, a faint smile on her face, with a hint of showing off her disciple.
"They're leaving room for maneuver; they're still testing the waters!" The Third Hokage chuckled, exhaling a puff of smoke.
With their keen eyesight and experience, they could naturally see that while the battle on the field was intense, both sides had plenty of leeway.
Tsunade knows the Monstrous Strength Technique and her disciples best, so how could she not know the true power of Sakura's Nintaijutsu? Besides, she didn't even use Ninjutsu.
The Third watched Might Guy grow up; how could he not know about the explosive power Might Guy gained after opening the Eight Gates Released Formation?
The two players were locked in a fierce battle, evenly matched.
Judging purely from Taijutsu.
Sakura Haruno's advantage lies in her faster reaction time and greater strength;
Might Guy excels in both speed and skill!
In terms of combat experience, Might Guy has more experience in Taijutsu. Decades of accumulation have made him thoroughly immersing himself in Taijutsu, able to control and execute it with ease.
However, Sakura Haruno is no less impressive. She was trained by strong fighters like Kakashi and Tsunade, and has fought to the death with people like Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Deidara. She has also taken down quite a few henchmen, and her sense of combat has long been honed!
In addition, both of them left themselves room to maneuver, intentionally controlling the intensity of the battle.
Therefore, it was only natural that the two fought to a standstill, with neither gaining the upper hand and the two being evenly matched.
We fought this battle.
With two loud bangs, Sakura punched Might Guy away.
The two then split up on either side, ending this wave of attacks.
"Might Guy-sensei, you didn't use your full strength!" Sakura Haruno pouted.
She was slightly out of breath, with several fist marks, footprints, and bruises on her face and body. In this kind of close-quarters combat where every punch lands, no matter how fast her reaction was, if her body couldn't keep up, there was nothing she could do. So, even Sakura, who was used to fighting without getting injured, now had a few wounds.
However, they are all dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What about the Eight Gates Released Formation? Use it too, Might Guy-sensei!" Sakura said.
She had read the information about the Eight Gates Released Formation that Neji had brought. Opening the Five Gates the Eight Gates Released Formation would greatly help in battles for Jonin and above, as it would massively increase Chakra, strength, and speed. With Might Guy's physical abilities, opening the Eighth Gate would probably be a matter of seconds.
"Oh, right!" Sakura suddenly remembered.
Last year was alright. Team 7 was supposed to spar with Team Might Guy, but after Neji and Sasuke finished their fight, just as Lee was about to go up against her, a mission suddenly came up, and that sparring match has been suspended ever since...
Sakura always regretted not being able to witness the power of the Eight Gates Released Formation!
As a result, Li hasn't even sparred with her yet; instead, it was Li's teacher Might Guy, who fought her first.
This is quite an awkward coincidence.
Perhaps some unseen force compels her to fight a ninja who has opened the Eight Gates Released Formation!
"The Eight Gates Released Formation?" Might Guy frowned.
It seems this is the only option left.
"Ordinary Taijutsu are ineffective against you, there's nothing I can do..."
Since we're going to have a good, intense battle... let's begin!
Might Guy clenched his fists, crossed them in front of his chest, and then roared angrily—
Gate of Opening - Gate of Healing - Gate of Life - Gate of Pain - Gate of Limit...
"The Eight Gates Released Formation, the sixth gate, the Gate of View... Open!"
In one breath, he opened Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Released Formation!
The surging Chakra stirred up violent whirlwinds on the field, whipping up countless sand, pebbles, and leaves that pelted the ground and the surrounding crowd!
A tremendous energy shone forth, almost tangible, and it was as if a layer of fire was burning around Might Guy.
The two Hokage exchanged a glance.
"Open the Sixth Gate directly...?" The Third Hokage used Chakra to protect his pipe and narrowed his eyes.
Is Might Guy overestimating Sakura Haruno, or is he just showing off her?
Even the Third Hokage couldn't immediately grasp the answer.
The Fifth Hokage, however, was confident in her disciple and showed no concern whatsoever.
"Let's step back a bit." She turned her gaze to Might Guy's feet, and frowned slightly at the cracked ground caused by the impact of the Chakra.
Tsunade waved her hand, and everyone followed her steps, retreating dozens of meters.
They gave most of the training field to the two players on the court.
Even so, this training ground, which is only a hundred meters in diameter, might not be enough for the two of them to unleash even one move!
"Did it open directly to the Sixth Gate?" Sakura murmured to herself as she stood on the field.
Standing opposite Might Guy, she finally realized the power of the Eight Gates Released Formation!
Sakura had witnessed Lee's Eight Gates Released Formation. The first few gates provided a considerable boost to Genin and Chunin, but were negligible for Jonin. The true power of the Eight Gates Released Formation only became apparent in the later gates.
I never expected that Might Guy would become so powerful after only opening the Five Gates...
"Well then, I need to get serious too..."
As she spoke, her eyes immediately sharpened!
Yin Seal, open!
A massive amount of Chakra surged out from the seal and flowed into Sakura Haruno's body, filling every cell in her body!
She placed her hands in front of her chest and slowly Hand Seals.
On the other side, Might Guy stretched his body, adjusting to the sudden surge in strength and speed; Sakura, meanwhile, completed the Hand Seals for her Ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Chakra surged wildly within her body, transforming into endless waves in the air. Under Sakura Haruno's control, the Shape Transformation and transformed into a giant dragon. Based on mythology, Sakura recreated every detail of the dragon, every scale, every claw, and every sharp tooth, making it incredibly lifelike!
Under Sakura's manipulation, the transparent body made of water quickly solidified and hardened, its scales turning into a shimmering golden yellow. The giant dragon in mid-air twisted its tens of meters long body, its millstone-sized orange-yellow vertical eyes fixed intently on Might Guy.
Roar--!
The dragon let out a deafening roar, then shot out from beside Sakura, charging towards Might Guy with overwhelming force!
The three Hokage's eyes widened slightly, and for a moment they forgot to inhale through their pipes. "To imbue Water Dragon Bullet with such subtle and pure Water Release Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation? To be able to unleash a B-rank Ninjutsu with the aura of an S-rank Ninjutsu, truly remarkable!"
Seeing Might Guy's stance, Tsunade's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Everyone, step back a little!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the water dragon was already facing Might Guy head-on.
Then--
It was a strike that shook the earth!
Boom--!
With a deafening roar, Kakkō seemed to ignite on Might Guy's fist. No, those were indeed Kakkō —fireballs formed by the friction between his high-speed punch and the air!
As the punch was thrown, Kakkō, like a burning phoenix, rushed towards the dragon!
At the moment of collision, the phoenix shone brightly and expanded rapidly, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, and then exploded in Kakkō.
The next moment, the dragon let out a mournful cry!
Such a punch, landing on its head, shattered Sakura's Ninjutsu in a single blow!
"Is this the 'Phoenix Rising' version of Morning Peacock's punch, the 'Phoenix Rebirth' Nirvana Strike?" The Third Hokage's eyes narrowed as he recognized the nature of the punch.
Might Guy unleashes hundreds and thousands of fiery punches with incredibly fast, continuous swings—this is the so-called Morning Peacock, a move that can only be used after opening the Sixth Gate.
What if the power of this move were channeled into a single punch?
This move is called "Nirvana Strike";
The answer is the water dragon that exploded with a deafening roar, scattering into endless streams of water!
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!" "Return!"
A surging torrent of water rushed towards the group. Kakashi and Hotaru Hyuga jumped in front of the two Hokage, using an earthen wall and Gentle Fist to block the aftershocks of the clash.
On the field, Might Guy, who had shattered an advanced Ninjutsu with a single punch, stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the entire solid and hard floor of the training ground to tremble violently. The pale green figure of the thick-browed ninja suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Sakura at an unimaginable speed.
He shouted loudly.
He threw a punch.
Nirvana Strike!
Golden flames erupted from Might Guy's fist, emitting a blazing Kakkō.
Then, the Kakkō coalesced, spread their wings, extended their tail feathers, and transformed into a giant golden bird—
Phoenix!
Right opposite him, Sakura's fist was already clenched.
The moment Might Guy rushed over.
Sakura Haruno neither dodged nor evaded, her feet planted firmly in front of hers as she calmly watched her opponent rush towards her, and silently threw her punch.
Drink--
Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist!
Fists against fists.
The shrill cry of the giant golden bird met the still, water-blue light.
Might Guy's bewildered yet fierce gaze after opening the Sixth Gate met Sakura Haruno's sharp and cold gaze after unleashing her Nintaijutsu.
The Eight Gates Released Formation clashes with Nintaijutsu!
Then, they collided with a deafening roar!
In an instant, even the sound seemed to disappear.
Then, the air seemed to suddenly expand.
The endless collision of forces transformed into a silent sonic wave that suddenly expanded, forcefully pushing aside the surging waters formed by the dragons on the training ground, revealing the mud at the bottom.
The water that was pushed out turned into surging waves, crashing against the earthen wall in front of Kakashi and forcefully knocking it down.
An invisible wave of air caught up with the water flow, passing over Kakashi and the others. Kakashi and Hotaru Hyuga, who were standing at the front, suddenly felt as if their chests had been struck by a hammer, a dull pain; even the Third Hokage frowned.
On the field, the clash between the two sides also determined the winner.
