Blue steam

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression froze.

Mr. Itachi, you've run away! Now I'm in a real predicament.

Not only could he sense Tsunade's anger, but even the Konoha Ninja present could clearly feel her anger upon hearing Tsunade words.

"The Lord Hokage looks very angry."

"Can this still be called looking angry? He's risked the Hokage's name!"

"I heard that the Fifth Hokage's teacher was the Third Hokage... but their personalities are so different!"

"Isn't it said that a master can't teach two kinds of apprentices?"

"Hey, you really underestimate the Third Hokage Mother. She didn't just raise two types, she raised three."

"That's true. The Legendary Sannin were all disciples of the Third Hokage, and each of them had a different personality and even different areas of expertise!"

The Ninja discussed and sighed with emotion.

Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Might Guy, Kakashi, and Dahe had completely surrounded Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki saw that the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

He forced a smile and said, "Lord Hokage, could you grant me a chance to fight you one-on-one?"

Although he didn't think he could withstand several of Tsunade's heavy blows.

The opponent's reputation for Super Strength is very well-known in the Shinobi World.

However, he possesses Samehada, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

As long as he can dodge Tsunade's powerful blows amplified by Tsunade Super Strength, and simultaneously absorb her Chakra with Samehada to replenish his own, he can succeed.

In his mind, there was still a fighting chance.

It's at least much more comfortable for him than when he's facing Might Guy.

In his previous battle with Might Guy, he discovered that his weapon was completely unable to absorb the opponent's Chakra.

It was only during this second encounter that he realized his opponent wasn't using Chakra at all, but rather bombarding the air with super-powerful Taijutsu, creating Chakra -like flame through the intense friction.

Against Might Guy, his advantages vanished.

Upon hearing Kisame Hoshigaki's words, Tsunade's lips twitched slightly.

"Since I've staked the Hokage's name on this, I'll naturally give you this opportunity."

"Gai, Kakashi, Yamato, you three step back."

"Lord Hokage, this small-eyed guy over there has a very special weapon. It can absorb the enemy's Chakra and use it to heal his own injuries."

"Let me, the Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf of Konoha, deal with him!"

Might Guy spoke, an even more powerful aura erupted from his body.

"The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder."

"Open!!"

The moment the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Wonder, opened, the blue steam emanating from his body became even more immense.

Even the land he occupied began to crack.

"Small eyes, this is the true form of the Konoha Azure Beast!"

The powerful aura emanating from him caused everyone present to turn their gaze towards him.

"This power... can Taijutsu really reach this level?!"

"This sense of oppression feels like it has exceeded..."

As one of the Ninja spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Tsunade.

"Kai, is this the result of your years of hard work and cultivation?"

Kakashi was also shocked by the powerful aura emanating from Might Guy.

Might Guy smirked. "Kakashi! My dearest friend! This move is the limit of the Azure Beast, but not my limit."

"As my most cherished rival, Kakashi, I have one more trick up my sleeve for you."

Even after opening the Seventh Gate, Might Guy was constantly in pain throughout his body.

This caused him to sweat profusely, which is also the reason why a large amount of blue steam was emanating from his body.

However, through years of training, he had become able to endure the pain.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately felt the pressure.

He knew very well that the last gate of the Eight Inner Gates was the Gate of Death.

Opening the Gate of Death grants temporary power ten times greater than the Five Kage, but the price is death.

Are you leaving me this backup plan?

You keep calling me your best friend, but you actually want to kill me?

"Brow's teacher also possesses such immense power!"

Naruto Uzumaki, now back to normal, gazed at Might Guy with a strange light in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Sasuke, who had been lying in the pit for a long time, couldn't help but climb out of the pit when he felt the pressure emanating from Might Guy.

"This power! If I could possess this power, I could definitely kill Itachi Uchiha with a single punch, right?"

His eyes burned with passion.

He then gave Kakashi a resentful look.

You two are both Elite Jonin, so why is there such a big difference between you?

A feeling suddenly arose within him.

If he hadn't trained with Kakashi, but instead had been any other Elite Jonin, would it be possible for him to have killed Itachi Uchiha with a single punch today?

Unfortunately, he had no idea that Kakashi Hatake's true strength lay in his ability to Kakashi Hatake!

At his peak, he was able to go Muu Muu Kai with Kaguya.

Facing Might Guy, who had just opened the Seventh Gate of Gate of Wonder, Kisame Hoshigaki noticed that Samehada in his hand was unusually showing signs of wanting to retreat.

"Samehada? Why shouldn't you be excited in the face of this powerful Chakra?"

It's a pity Samehada can't speak, otherwise it would tell him that the blue Chakra on Might Guy's body isn't Chakra at all, but rather bursts of blue sweat vapor.

"Might Guy! Step back!"

"This is my duty as Hokage! You'll need a long recovery period after using this technique, but I don't!"

Tsunade spoke, a powerful aura of Chakra also erupted from her entire body.

Several black lines spread out from the diamond-shaped Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead.

After a brief burst of energy, aside from the black markings on her body, her Chakra levels returned to normal.

He doesn't seem to have the explosive power of Might Guy.

"Pat-pat-pat."

Tsunade didn't give Might Guy much time to think; she strode forward with her long legs.

Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a barely perceptible smile.

He could sense the difference in how Samehada treated the two of them.

He felt panic when facing Might Guy, but greed when facing Tsunade.

Although he didn't understand why, he would naturally follow Samehada's choice and choose Tsunade as his opponent.

"As expected of the Fifth Hokage, he certainly has guts."

He outwardly praised her, but inwardly he was secretly mocking her as an idiot.

Even though the aura emanating from Might Guy clearly indicated that he was unlikely to win, he actually agreed to his request for a one-on-one duel.

Might Guy called out with some concern, "Lord Hokage-- "

"Step back!"

Tsunade frowned and spoke in a low voice.

Only then did Might Guy dispel the effects of the Seventh Gate the Gate of Wonder.

The blue sweat vapor gradually disappeared.

Since it was just an activation and didn't involve much physical exertion, Might Guy only experienced mild pain and didn't suffer any major damage, so he didn't need to rest.

Swish!

Tsunade exerted force with both feet, and the ground instantly cracked!

He rushed towards Kisame Hoshigaki with incredible speed!

"Small eyes, I'll catch you!"
