Golden Horizon Line vs. Strongest Spear

On the day of the quarterfinals.

The spectators entered early, eagerly anticipating today's matches.

"Both Nagato and Obito Uchiha are geniuses who defeated Kage. The winner between them can truly call himself the greatest genius in the ninja world."

"How long can the two super geniuses, Body Flicker Shisui and Lightning Fang Kakashi, hold out against the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Hokage?"

Before the battles had even begun, the stands were already filled with all kinds of discussion.

The spectators excitedly talked about the contestants they favored.

"Might Guy seemed to still have strength left when he defeated A last round. Does that mean he might still pull off an upset and defeat the Third Raikage?"

"Impossible. A was only the newly selected member of the A-B Combo. He isn't on the same level as the Third Raikage at all. If the Third Raikage goes all out, Might Guy won't last long."

The vast majority of ninja spectators believed that the Third Raikage would win easily.

Before Sōsuke defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi, there had been a major debate in the ninja world over who was the strongest of the era.

The Third Raikage was one of the candidates with the greatest number of supporters.

The Third Raikage's supporters had a simple reason for believing he was the strongest: he possessed the Strongest Shield. Your Ninjutsu couldn't hurt him at all.

And the Third Raikage also possessed the Strongest Spear. If he touched you even once, he would send you straight to meet Bleach.

Might Guy was indeed a genius, but this match was not merely against a powerful opponent. He was facing one of the former strongest contenders of the era.

Against such an opponent, it was no wonder the ninja spectators felt that Might Guy would be easily defeated.
