"Guy...!"
Watching Might Guy open the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, Kakashi said, visibly moved.
At that moment, the blue-green steam rising from Might Guy's body was dazzling!
The Chakra surging through him was even more astonishing!
The watching ninja all around them were left in shock.
"Guy-sensei...!" In the distance, Rock Lee's eyes filled with tears of excitement.
"That kind of power..." Neji couldn't help activating his Byakugan. With it, he could see even more clearly just how powerful and vast the Chakra inside Might Guy was.
"Oh?" Chen Yiban noticed Might Guy's state.
"Only the Seventh Gate?"
"Still no red steam. Looks like... you're still underestimating me."
"Or is the Seventh Gate simply the most you can open right now?"
Chen Yiban still wore a calm smile.
He seemed completely unconcerned by the immense Chakra surging from Might Guy.
Whoosh—
But Chen Yiban took his Susanoo a step further.
He brought forth Susanoo - Third Stage!!
In other words, the stage Susanoo that had appeared at the Barbecue Restaurant: dozens of meters tall, with legs, two faces, and four arms.
"This will be enough." A faint smile played on Chen Yiban's lips.
Then:
"Bastard, prepare to face the power of Konoha's Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf!"
"Daytime Tiger!!"
As countless eyes watched, Might Guy leaped into the air and came before the Susanoo.
He threw a punch!
Roar—
In an instant, the fist Might Guy thrust out unleashed a violent blast of air.
Incredibly, it took the shape of a "white tiger"!
Roaring, it charged at the enormous Susanoo - Third Stage before him!!
Meanwhile, Chen Yiban—
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The four hands of Susanoo's two-faced, four-armed Third Stage each formed a Yatsuka no Magatama.
In an instant, four projectiles were ready!
Then, as the surging "Daytime Tiger air cannon" rushed toward him, Chen Yiban willed it, and Susanoo immediately hurled all four Yatsuka no Magatama.
Clang—BOOM—
The four Yatsuka no Magatama collided with the Daytime Tiger's air cannon.
The resulting shock wave sent everyone in every direction flying far away!
"Waka... amazing!!" Naruto couldn't help exclaiming as he was blown away.
"Lady Tsunade, are you all right?" Shizune hurried over to Tsunade Hime.
"Shizune, I'm fine," Tsunade Hime replied.
"Lady Tsunade, you... the seal on your forehead... you've used Creation Rebirth?!" Shizune looked at Tsunade Hime and exclaimed in surprise.
The diamond-shaped Crystal between Tsunade Hime's brows had vanished.
Her entire body was covered in strange black Chakra markings!
Tsunade Hime had undone the Yin Seal, where she had stored Chakra for years, and used Creation Rebirth to heal the wound in her chest that Susanoo had just pierced through.
Tsunade Hime didn't answer Shizune. Her gaze remained fixed on the four Yatsuka no Magatama and the Daytime Tiger, clashing ferociously.
When one Yatsuka no Magatama reached the Daytime Tiger, it had little effect.
The Daytime Tiger continued its powerful charge!
But when it met two Yatsuka no Magatama, its speed noticeably slowed.
When it faced three, then four...
The Daytime Tiger had almost slowed to a crawl!
"It actually stopped the Daytime Tiger..."
Might Guy's body glowed red, blue steam continuously rising from him.
Yet he looked astonished!
His understanding of the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara, grew even deeper.
As expected of the legendary Ninja Master, Uchiha Madara!
"But..."
"My youth hasn't ended yet!"
"Asa Kujaku!!"
Even with the Seventh Gate open, Might Guy now unleashed the Taijutsu Asa Kujaku, which he had been able to use since opening the Sixth Gate.
Boom, boom, boom—
In an instant, countless red blasts of air, like peacocks, thundered toward the enemy!
Together with the "Daytime Tiger" from before, they battered the four Yatsuka no Magatama!
"Interesting!" Chen Yiban said with a cold laugh.
Then he had Susanoo's four hands form four Chakra Blades, continuously slashing out one fierce blade of light after another.
Boom, boom, boom—
Both sides continued their assault.
The powerful shock waves tore apart every Konoha building within several hundred meters.
"Not good!"
"Everyone, get back!!"
Tsunade Hime saw that the two forces at the center were about to collapse completely and explode.
She immediately shouted to all the Konoha Ninja around them to flee.
At the same time, Tsunade Hime swiftly retreated herself!
Sure enough, moments later—
BOOM—
A tremendous explosion rang out!
The shock wave tore apart every Konoha building within a kilometer.
Kakashi, Shikaku Nara, Choji Akimichi, Naruto, Neji, and the other Konoha Ninja ran as far as they could, but the violent shock wave still sent them flying and crashing about.
"Guy...!" Kakashi grabbed Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, then crouched with them beneath a wall to take shelter from the blast. All the while, he couldn't help worrying about Might Guy.
As for Might Guy—
Thud—
With the Seventh Gate open and his body glowing red, he landed on the ground not far from Kakashi, bracing himself against the powerful shock wave with both arms.
"Ha... hah..." Might Guy panted heavily.
He looked utterly exhausted!
"Guy!" Kakashi called out.
"Bushy-brow Sensei!" Naruto called out too.
Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha watched Might Guy in amazement as well.
They probably hadn't expected Might Guy to have such an incredible secret technique!
"Kakashi, neither the Daytime Tiger nor the Asa Kujaku could do anything to the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara!" Might Guy looked toward Kakashi in the distance and spoke while facing Chen Yiban.
At the same time, Might Guy had already made up his mind!
"I'll say it one last time... Leave Konoha, and I can spare your lives."
Hovering inside the head of "Susanoo - Third Stage," Chen Yiban fixed Tsunade Hime, Might Guy, and the others with a cold stare from his crimson Mangekyō Sharingan.
Damn it. How did Grandpa manage to fight someone like him one-on-one? Tsunade Hime couldn't help feeling powerless.
Might Guy had even opened the Seventh Gate!
And he still couldn't do anything to his opponent.
Chen Yiban was standing inside Susanoo's head, apparently unharmed.
In fact... Susanoo hadn't even been broken!!
Uchiha Madara...
He really was strong enough to make anyone despair!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Just then, even more Konoha Ninja learned about the battle and rushed to the scene.
Among them were members of the Akimichi Clan, Nara Clan, and Yamanaka Clan...
The head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi, had also brought a large number of Byakugan-wielding ninja to the battlefield. Their Byakugan was said to rival the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan.
In an instant, more than a thousand ninja surrounded the battlefield!
