A pure Taijutsu match will benefit you the most
Rock Lee stopped talking as Hagoromo and Might Guy explained how to maximize the absorption of the medicine.
Rock Lee had just stood up, clenched his fist in shock.
Things are different now; his physical condition is much better than before.
Moreover, areas that usually feel weak are now completely free of discomfort.
"How are you feeling?" Neji asked from the side. He could only sense that Rock Lee was a little different, but he didn't know the specifics.
"It's better than ever before!" Rock Lee burst into laughter.
Neji simply twitched the corner of his mouth; his answer was as good as saying nothing at all.
Hagoromo and Might Guy's conversation came to an end. Then, as if she had thought of something, she took out a medicinal bath recipe from her ninja tool bag and handed it to Might Guy.
"This is a medicinal bath that allows for deeper and more perfect absorption; you can give Rock Lee a bath every month from now on."
This recipe was a reward for Choji's previous training, but the ingredients required are very expensive.
Now Might Guy and Rock Lee are practically like father and son, so Might Guy should be willing to pay this amount.
"No problem!" Might Guy nodded and carefully put it away.
"By the way, it's been a long time since I challenged you, Hagoromo. How about a duel?"
Might Guy has received so much from Hagoromo, and there's nothing he can do to repay her except through Taijutsu.
I'll check if there's anything wrong with Hagoromo so I can point it out to him.
Hagoromo rubbed his chin, realizing that his Taijutsu hadn't improved in a long time. He thought it would be good to gain some insights from his fight with Might Guy.
"Can."
"Neji, Rock Lee, you two need to watch carefully later," Hagoromo said, turning to Neji and Rock Lee.
"Eh?! Teacher Kai is going to fight against Senior Hagoromo?" Rock Lee looked surprised.
"Let's go, let's move aside first." Neji then pulled Rock Lee towards the edge of the training field.
He knew Might Guy and Hagoromo's strength better than anyone else; rather than teaching them, he was broadening their horizons.
"Senior Kai, let's stop here," Hagoromo said with a smile, looking at Might Guy.
This is just for reference; there's no need to take it too seriously.
"Youth doesn't allow us to slack off!" Might Guy exclaimed excitedly, referring to Konoha's Taijutsu.
While I'm not bragging, aside from Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost no one can rival Might Guy anymore.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's title of "Professor of Ninja" is not just based on his Ninjutsu, but rather on his versatility across three areas.
Hagoromo shook her head helplessly. Well, Might Guy is getting carried away again.
Without thinking further, Hagoromo took a step back and assumed the starting stance of the Inch Power Eight Gates.
Might Guy looked at the Hagoromo in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Things are different now. Compared to a few years ago, now Hagoromo only needs to assume a fighting stance to get his attention.
"What a powerful aura!" Rock Lee Li exclaimed, his eyes shining as he looked at the two people in the arena.
Before Neji could say anything, Might Guy tucked his hands to his stomach and said in a deep voice:
"Eight Gates Formation, Five Gates: Gate of Limit Opens!"
In an instant, the aftershocks of the Eight Gates Formation opening completely overwhelmed the entire area.
Even Neji and Rock Lee, who had already shown significant improvement, couldn't help but take a few steps back at this moment.
"Wasn't this supposed to be a contest? Why did you use the Eight Gates Formation right from the start?" Neji was at a loss for words.
Unleash a powerful attack right from the start?
He was well aware of the power of the Eight Gates Formation, having followed Might Guy for so long.
"Senior Kai, isn't that unnecessary?" Hagoromo said helplessly.
"No, Hagoromo, if I don't open the Eight Gates now, I can no longer put pressure on you."
Might Guy was completely red-faced, but his eyes weren't white. He spoke with a serious expression.
Since we're going to use Taijutsu to inspire Hagoromo, we can't just give him a superficial response.
Might Guy's current Hagoromo is sufficient for Might Guy to make this gesture.
"Alright then." Seeing this, Hagoromo said nothing more, clenched his fists, and directly covered his fists with Yang Release Chakra.
Might Guy exhaled a deep breath, which carried a slight warmth.
"They're here!"
Boom--
With a single step, a crater appeared in the ground, Might Guy arrived in front of Hagoromo at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
The kick, imbued with highly concentrated Chakra, came directly towards Hagoromo's face.
Hagoromo treated the kick as if it were nothing, easily breaking through it with her fists.
He immediately countered with a high-speed, Sun-Character Straight Punch.
Might Guy, with his fists generating fiery shockwaves from friction, relentlessly dismantled Hagoromo's attacks.
However, as the speed of the Sun-Character Straight Punch increased, even Might Guy, who had activated the Gate of Limit, was eventually unable to withstand it.
Helpless, he could only use his arms to block the Hagoromo from Yu Yi, taking about ten punches in the process, and was forced back several meters by the force.
"As expected, Hagoromo, you've become much stronger."
Might Guy looked at his slightly trembling fists, then looked up at Hagoromo and said.
"Amazing!" Rock Lee exclaimed excitedly, even though he shouldn't have been able to see it clearly.
But at this moment, he truly understood every single movement made by Kai-sensei and Hagoromo -senpai during their fight.
It was as if everything had slowed down.
Could it be?
Rock Lee suddenly remembered the pill from earlier. Had it enhanced his observation skills?
"Just watch closely; this kind of pure Taijutsu combat will be most beneficial to you."
Neji, standing to the side, activated his regular Byakugan, his approach differing from Rock Lee's.
More important than techniques is the direction of Chakra flow, so that he can learn it and use it for his own purposes.
The original Eight Trigrams Gentle Spiral Strike Style was something I created by deliberately slowing down the Hagoromo.
Although it was just an idea, even the subsequent improvements relied on Hagoromo.
But this also shows that Neji's direction was correct.
"Hagoromo, your punches, combined with your Inch Power Eight Gates, are beyond my current capabilities. So you'd better watch out!"
Might Guy took a slight breath, then looked at Hagoromo and said.
Hagoromo simply nodded, and his Chakra surged once more. Might Guy at the Sixth Gate was already incredibly close to the Super Kage Level.
"Drink!"
Seeing that Hagoromo was ready, Might Guy shouted in a deep voice.
His aura gradually rose and became more profound. It was no longer just a fluctuation when he activated it. The aura emanating from his whole body caused the trees and flowers in the entire training ground to move without wind.
Interesting.
Hagoromo looked at Might Guy in front of her; he was no longer the same as before.
The time Might Guy opened Sixth Gates, Hagoromo felt as if he were in the vast ocean, and now his aura is even stronger than before.
But when I faced it myself, I no longer had that feeling.
Although it was very violent, it wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.
