Might Guy clenched his fists, let out an angry roar, and opened the fourth gate of the Eight Gates.
If the Eight Gates were divided into early, middle, and late stages, then the first through third gates counted as the early stage, the fourth through sixth as the middle stage, and the seventh and eighth gates as the late stage.
The first through third gates could be considered the safe zone of the Eight Gates. Using them would not damage the body. Starting from the fourth gate, things were different. Only after the fourth gate did one truly enter the Eight Gates state. Both strength and speed increased dramatically, but the immense pressure would also damage the body.
After the Gate of Pain opened, Chakra within Might Guy's body surged explosively. He felt the strength in his body rapidly growing, growing so powerful that even his body felt the strain.
"So you can open the fourth gate normally now."
Feeling Might Guy's suddenly soaring aura, Kakashi's expression turned grave.
Though he had not trained in the Eight Gates, Kakashi and Might Guy were both Mu Yue-sensei's students and fought often. He therefore knew a little about the Eight Gates and understood that every gate opened improved speed and strength to varying degrees.
Kakashi had once defeated Might Guy after he opened the fourth gate, but he would not naively believe that the current fourth-gate Might Guy possessed the same strength as the fourth-gate Might Guy from the Chunin Exams.
"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"
Drawing on his power, Might Guy laughed as he charged toward Kakashi and unleashed the Whirlwind Kick he excelled at most.
Empowered by the fourth gate of the Eight Gates, Might Guy's speed and strength had increased tremendously. Just running at full speed whipped up a fierce wind
