"Mr. Guy, I suggest you don't deal with me with such a perfunctory speed," Naruto said with a smile. The next moment, Kyōka Suigetsu in his hand slashed across the sky, and where it landed, a black shadow gradually solidified.

"Shing." The blade's wind and the sharpness condensed by Reiatsu pressed directly towards Guy's forehead.

Guy's expression gradually became serious.

The young man could actually sense his landing point in advance and counterattack. Such perception couldn't be obtained through effort alone; it was more about talent and the accumulation of countless battles.

Naruto had never left Konoha, so it could only be talent.

As expected of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it seemed he needed to get a little more serious.

"Whoosh." Guy's body twisted at a strange angle, and he unleashed a powerful kick that firmly struck Kyōka Suigetsu.

"Buzz." An irresistible monstrous strength was transmitted, and Naruto was immediately forced back several steps uncontrollably, his eyes filled with horror.

As expected, someone who could perform tens of thousands of frog jumps and long-distance running training was a Taijutsu monster with immense strength.

He was simply like... a beast.

Naruto pressed his left hand against his trembling right hand and looked at Guy.

"Young man, are you alright?" The watermelon-headed Guy looked foolish, but once he entered combat mode, his eyes were sharp, and his aura continuously affected Naruto, involuntarily instilling caution, even fear, in his heart.

Just standing there, he was like a ferocious beast ready to devour anyone at any moment.

His Taijutsu far surpassed his own.

Naruto rubbed his wrist and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Guy's strength is truly terrifying. It's my turn to attack next."

The next moment, he instantly closed the distance between himself and Guy. The dark green Kyōka Suigetsu carried a brilliant green trajectory as it fiercely chopped towards Guy.

The sound of the wind breaking caused by Kyōka Suigetsu made goosebumps erupt on Guy's skin.

The blade's momentum also tightly locked onto Guy's movements.

"What excellent Swordsmanship, young man." Guy's pupils suddenly shrank. His body reacted swiftly, his legs erupting with astonishing power as he narrowly dodged a slash.

But in an instant, Naruto disappeared from his sight.

"Shunpo?! No, it must be some special footwork!" Guy's eyes lit up.

He had originally thought Naruto only possessed strength close to a Chunin, but he was now discovering that.

Naruto had given him too many surprises.

Just as he was preparing to search for Naruto's trace, his hair suddenly stood on end, and a shadow appeared above him.

Naruto appeared above Guy and fiercely brought down a downward slash.

At the same time, in the Hokage's office, the Konoha high-ranking officials who had received the report were also watching the battle seriously.

The Third had been paying attention to Naruto's training and had witnessed his growth, but he had never seen Naruto use his full strength before.

Now, facing the powerful enemy Mayto Guy, Naruto had to unleash his ultimate secret technique.

"Naruto's Kekkei Genkai is truly all-around. Not only does it have Ninjutsu-like abilities, but he also has a blade that refracts illusions, and now he's added a Shunpo similar to Shunpo," the Third said, smoking his pipe, his brow furrowed.

For a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, having an overly powerful Kekkei Genkai was not a good thing, as it might be difficult to control.

However, for a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who possessed the Will of Fire, this was an extremely good thing.

"But Guy's strength is not that of an ordinary Jonin. If he goes all out, I believe he can reach Kage-level. Let's see how much of Guy's strength Naruto can bring out."

"Hmph, Hiruzen, Naruto's talent is too astonishing. He should be cultivated by Root, otherwise, it's a waste of talent. Moreover, his Kekkei Genkai has a very high upper limit, and we in Root have always had experience in developing Kekkei Genkai," Danzō said grudgingly from the side.

But this time, the Third ignored Danzō and looked intently at the crystal ball.

The battle continued.

Kyōka Suigetsu fell, but what it shattered was Guy's afterimage.

"Young man, you are truly strong." Guy's voice sounded from behind. Naruto quickly turned his head, only to find him standing ten meters away with an expression of admiration.

"This speed is already Jonin-level," Naruto was shocked in his heart, but he suddenly let out a light laugh.

Under Guy's confused gaze, Naruto lightly removed the weights from his wrists: "I didn't expect to encounter a Jonin-level expert today."

"Your Taijutsu is the strongest I've ever seen. Since even a strong person like you is working tirelessly, then I have even less reason to slack off."

"Next, I will fight you with all my might."

"Bang." The weights, even heavier than before, landed on the ground. Naruto raised Kyōka Suigetsu with one hand, the blade tip pointing downwards, his movements elegant.

A gentle breeze blew, lifting his long golden bangs, revealing his ordinary black spectacles, the thick lenses reflecting light.

"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu."

He let go, and Kyōka Suigetsu fell towards the ground, shattering into thousands of fragments under Guy's astonished gaze, merging with the ground like water droplets falling into a lake, creating ripples.

Sunlight fell, but Guy felt his vision blur. The world in his eyes seemed to be covered by an invisible thin veil.

"A Kekkei Genkai that specializes in creating illusions?" Guy's heart grew serious. He did not underestimate the opponent due to his age.

It was an undeniable fact that ninjas with Kekkei Genkai were stronger than ordinary ninjas.

Even strong individuals like Guy had to be cautious when facing an unknown Kekkei Genkai, otherwise, it was easy to flip the car.

"Here it comes." The next moment, Naruto approached Guy like a ghost, and a blade suddenly appeared in his hand, thrusting towards Guy.

"My speed doesn't seem to have increased much." Guy, though confused, managed to dodge the blade that sliced through the air just in time.

"Clink." The next moment, he felt a slight sting in his abdomen. His green jumpsuit was cut open by a small slit, leaving a shallow bloody mark.

"What's going on? I should have dodged that!" Guy's pupils constricted as he looked at Naruto in disbelief.

Guy was completely familiar with his own body.

He could be 100% certain that he had dodged Naruto's attack.

But reality was the complete opposite of his perception.

Guy had experienced thousands of battles and seen thousands of ninjas with Kekkei Genkai.

But he had never encountered a battle as bizarre as this one.

Without time to think further, Naruto's second strike arrived.

Guy dodged perfectly once again, but his body still gained a second wound.

His vision rippled again, as if the world itself was fluctuating due to falling water droplets.

Guy suddenly understood:

"So that's how it is. You're using illusions to affect my judgment. Under your Kekkei Genkai, sight actually becomes the biggest obstacle."

"In that case, I'll abandon sight!"

He slowly closed his eyes.

"You figured it out so quickly?" Naruto looked impressed, raising Kyōka Suigetsu in his hand and slashing again.

This time, Guy disappeared from Naruto's sight.

Instantly!

A fierce wind roared behind Naruto.

Fists and kicks, mixed with the raging wind, swept towards him!

"Too fast! Is this the speed of a Jonin?" In this situation, Naruto had no time to react and could only turn to block with his blade.

"Bang!"

The intense impact caused Naruto to lose his balance completely.

Just as Naruto was shocked by Guy's sudden burst of speed, Guy's figure reappeared before Naruto, his eyes still closed:

"Young man, your Kekkei Genkai is indeed powerful, but what about now?"

As Guy's low chant continued, a flurry of punches rained down.

"Bang bang bang."

Naruto was enveloped by the fierce fist wind. While he could still barely parry at first, his blade was soon knocked out of his hand.

Naruto, completely undeterred, raised his fists to meet the onslaught again.

And so, the two exchanged blows, fists meeting flesh.

Their figures left afterimages everywhere, making it impossible for ordinary people to discern their movements.

Naruto felt like he was fighting to his heart's content; this was the first time he had gone 'all out' since his training.

However, he could feel that Guy was still holding back in this seemingly fierce confrontation.

He was letting Naruto practice.

Naruto employed all the Hakuda techniques he had learned. Although his strength was not as great as Guy's, the exquisite Hakuda allowed him to deflect some of the force.

One minute passed. Naruto's breathing grew heavier, his defense becoming increasingly difficult, while Guy's strength and speed remained unchanged, his breathing even steady.

Naruto understood that this was the limit of his Taijutsu, and it was time to 'lose'.

So, he put on a look of exhaustion.

Seeing this, Guy knew it was time to end the match.

He increased his speed again and struck Naruto's chest with an extremely fast punch.

Naruto was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into a tree before stopping.

"As expected of Mr. Guy, I lost." Lying on the grass, Naruto wore an expression of admiration.

"No, young man, I was nowhere near as strong as you at your age." Guy opened his eyes, gave a thumbs-up with a smile, "Thank you for showing me a youth that rivals my own."
