Might Guy's Eight Inner Gates

"The fourth match, Uchiha Shigure versus Might Guy! Begin!"

The examiner waved his hand down from his lofty position, and the battle began.

"Konoha Whirlwind!" Without saying a word, Might Guy rushed straight at Shiyu, launching a series of attacks from above and below.

Might Guy's attack speed is so fast it's almost invisible.

"Good!" Shiyu also rushed forward, using his arms and legs to withstand Might Guy's attack.

"What!? It actually withstood my Taijutsu!?" Might Guy was also somewhat incredulous.

At the same time, Shiyu Hand Seals at an extremely fast speed, and soon a powerful Ninjutsu was released.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" Shiyu also unleashed a fire dragon, its momentum fierce and its power immense, immediately eliciting gasps from the audience.

"Shiyu's Ninjutsu has become even more powerful!" Hiruzen exclaimed, "This guy is too monstrous!"

Might Guy was not going to be defeated so easily. He used his speed to move nimbly around the arena, dodging Shiyu's Ninjutsu attacks, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to get close to Shiyu.

"Body Flicker Technique!? You want to compete with me? Interesting!" Shiyu also used Body Flicker Technique, but although it was the same Body Flicker Technique, Shiyu and Might Guy used it completely differently. Shiyu's Body Flicker Technique could be described as having reached a state of perfection. Whenever Might Guy appeared in a certain place, Shiyu could flash out faster than him. As a result, Might Guy became somewhat flustered.

"This guy is even faster than me!"

"As expected of a master!" Kai also took a deep breath.

"Kai? If you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve, you're likely to lose the match." Shiyu felt no pressure dealing with Kai now.

Guy gritted his teeth. In terms of Ninjutsu, he was naturally inferior to Shiyu. Shiyu had more chakra and more powerful Ninjutsu. If they clashed, Guy would only be able to take the beating.

As for Genjutsu, Kay is completely clueless; it's already quite an achievement that he can avoid falling for Genjutsu.

In terms of Taijutsu, even Kai couldn't get close to Shiyu, since Shiyu was far more proficient in the Body Flicker Technique.

"It seems this is the only option."

"Eight Gates: Opening! Front Lotus!" Kai suddenly unleashed the Front Lotus, kicking Shiyu away, then grabbing Shiyu before slamming her to the ground.

"This seems to be the first time the Eight Inner Gates has appeared in everyone's sight, right? It's sure to amaze everyone!" Kai slammed Shiyu heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!" It seemed as if a huge hole had been blasted into the ground.

"The battle seems to be over!" Kai was quite confident in the Front Lotus after he opened the door.

"That move isn't bad, but it's ineffective against me." Shiyu sat down on the large wooden stake. It turned out that Might Guy's attack wasn't on Shiyu, but on Shiyu's Substitution Technique.

"When!"

"I didn't see him Hand Seals at all."

Might Guy then realized that perhaps the person in front of him was not enough to fight back simply by opening the door.

"Open the Gate of Healing!"

Shiyu's White Rinnegan also saw a large amount of energy erupting from the two gates in Kai's head.

"Is that the Gate of Healing that removes mental and physical limitations? Looks like this is troublesome!"

Immediately afterwards, Might Guy's speed and attack power increased once again. Shiyu simply blocked Might Guy's various attacks but did not retaliate much.

Shiyu could clearly sense that after opening both doors, Might Guy seemed tireless for a certain period of time.

"I still can't touch this guy!" Kai was also somewhat incredulous, even though he had already opened two doors.

"If we can't even touch it, then everything is meaningless! In that case! Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Life! Open!"

The final safe zone of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Life, was opened by Might Guy.

Immediately afterwards, Might Guy's appearance changed. His body began to flush red with blood, and blue energy rose up from his body like a dragon coiling around him.

Green energy bursts forth from Might Guy's body, seemingly reaching a speed that Might Guy has never achieved before.

"I can catch up with him now!" Might Guy was also chasing after Shiyu was using the Body Flicker Technique, which gave Shiyu a headache.

"As expected of Might's one-for-one transformation? But don't think you're the only one who can transform!" Shiyu clasped his hands together, and in an instant, the horns on Shiyu's forehead grew longer, and the whites of his eyes turned golden.

A powerful and terrifying force erupted from Shiyu's body.

"This is!? Sage Mode!?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was naturally taken aback.

"Has this guy already received the inheritance of one of the three great sages? Just like the Sannin!"

"I never expected him to have come this far! For the past three months? Could he have been studying Senjutsu in the immortal realm?" Hiruzen exclaimed in surprise.

"Hiruzen? Sage Mode? Could it be a Sage Art?" Mitokado Homura asked in surprise.

"Yeah! I wonder if Might Guy with the Eight Inner Gates open is stronger, or Shiyu with Sage Mode open!" Hiruzen also became more interested.

To defeat Kai, Shiyu might not need to activate Sage Mode. However, since it's a competition, many things are unavailable. The only way to deal with Kai in his current state and go toe-to-toe with him is through Sage Mode.

As for whether Sage Mode is stronger than the Gate of Life? Absolutely.

"Shiyu! Let me see how strong you are!" Might Guy charged forward, his attack landing on Shiyu, but Shiyu reacted faster and easily blocked Guy's attack.

"What!? It actually blocked my attack!?"

"Even opening the door couldn't harm him?!" Might Guy also somewhat shocked, as this was the first time he had encountered an opponent that even opening the door couldn't defeat.

However, Guy was not discouraged. He was facing a genius from Konoha whose reputation even surpassed Kakashi's!

"Shiyu! This is my strongest move so far! If you can still defeat me, I'll completely submit to you!"

"Come on, Kai!" Shiyu was also full of fighting spirit, and using Sage Mode made the battle much more enjoyable.

"Reverse Lotus!"

Kai didn't hold back Shiyu.

He unleashed his ultimate, super-coherent Taijutsu, charging towards Shiyu at incredible speed.

Shiyu immediately conjured a massive golden Rasengan in his hand and launched an attack directly at Might Guy.

"Immortal Technique· Great Ball Rasengan!"

Might Guy hadn't expected that his Continuous Taijutsu, Reverse Lotus, would be blocked by Shiyu's Rasengan.

"This is the last one! And the strongest one! Shiyu, take this!"

"I'm delivering the final blow too, Kai!"

"Bump!"

The two attacks finally collided! At the same time, a dazzling flash erupted all around, preventing any of the spectators from seeing what had happened.
