Sasuke VS Might Guy

Watermelon haircut, green jumpsuit.

The other man's identity was obvious. He was Might Guy, the man who had nearly kicked the original story to its ending.

"Finally, an opponent who's at least a little interesting!"

A grin spread across Sasuke's lips as excitement rose within him.

Compared to ninjutsu clashes between ninja, he truly preferred hand-to-hand combat, fist against fist.

"From here on, I'll be your opponent!"

Might Guy assumed a fighting stance, his expression grave.

This opponent was strong!

That kick just now had not broken the other man's arm, but he had not even been able to bend it. He had merely knocked it slightly off course.

Instead, he himself had been sent flying.

Might Guy stared at Sasuke without blinking, his body tense as he did not dare relax in the slightest.

Bang!

Sasuke did not rush to attack. With a casual flick of his hand, he tossed Danzo aside like garbage.

"I'll leave this piece of trash here for now. Now then, it's time to enjoy the battle properly. Watermelon Head, don't disappoint me!"

Whoosh!!

His figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

"What? So fast!"

Might Guy was startled.

Though he had not blinked, he still could not catch the trajectory of his opponent's disappearance.

"Then, Morning Peacock!!"

Might Guy roared as both arms blurred into afterimages.

With every punch he threw, a fireball appeared.

His punches grew faster and faster, as though he had unleashed hundreds, even thousands of blows in an instant.

The next moment, countless fireballs shot out from around him like a peacock spreading its tail, youth burning brightly!

"No matter which direction you attack from, you'll have to take my attacks! Burn, youth! Ah-tat-tat-tat!"

Might Guy roared, his entire body seeming to transform into a dazzling sun!

Then he froze in disbelief!

Because Sasuke had not dodged at all. He charged straight toward him, letting countless fireballs slam into his body as though nothing had happened!

"You've only opened six gates. Who do you think you're looking down on!"

Sasuke abruptly closed in and threw a punch!

Might Guy hurriedly raised both arms to block.

Bang!

"Puh!!"

Might Guy spat blood and flew backward.

As though struck by something devastating!

His pupils trembled wildly, and he began doubting his entire existence.

Could such terrifying strength really be possessed by a human?

This was clearly a monster wearing human skin!

While still in the air, Might Guy hurriedly adjusted his posture and landed on both feet. He slid another dozen meters before finally coming to a stable stop.

"Good! You truly are a powerful opponent. If I don't fight with all my strength, that would be disrespectful to you—and a betrayal of youth!"

Might Guy's eyes shone brightly as battle intent surged from his body.

"Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock, open!"

He let out a fierce roar!

As an acupoint in his body opened, the chakra within him began to boil.

The green vapor around him now turned blue.

Veins bulged across his forehead, his face flushed crimson, and waves of air churned around him. At this moment, Guy looked like a god of war.

The aura he released now was no weaker than that of any Kage-level fighter.

"This... I never expected the village to have such a strong man. He really kept himself hidden!"

Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened, deeply surprised.

He had never expected that this insignificant figure, rumored to know only taijutsu and no ninjutsu, someone he had never even taken seriously, could unleash such formidable combat power.

At this moment, Fugaku felt immensely fortunate that this mysterious powerhouse was helping the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, facing so many experts tonight, their clan truly would have vanished from the Ninja World!

Konoha had gained another top-tier combatant. It would probably be difficult for you to leave unscathed... Fugaku looked at Sasuke, the worry on his face growing heavier.

In contrast to Fugaku's concern, Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed.

He had never expected that an ordinary taijutsu ninja could erupt with such tremendous strength!

This was simply an unexpected delight!

At such a young age, he had already cultivated the Eight Gates to the seventh gate!

After this, he needed to bring Guy into the ANBU and make him his direct subordinate.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

More than a dozen blue afterimages appeared in the air. They were merely visual illusions created by movement too fast for the human eye to follow.

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

Boom!!

A side kick carrying boundless force slammed heavily into Sasuke's shoulder. A thunderous boom rang out, and an invisible shockwave spread from the point of impact.

"Not bad strength. You actually managed to make me feel a little pain!"

Sasuke's body involuntarily shifted sideways for some distance, his eyes full of praise.

"It's not over yet!"

Might Guy roared as his body turned into an afterimage, attacking Sasuke from every direction.

In his seven-gate state, both his speed and strength had been greatly enhanced.

Every punch and kick produced a sonic boom.

Bang, bang, bang!!

His attacks landed on Sasuke, producing a continuous series of explosive impacts.

Sasuke tried to counterattack, but every attempt was evaded in time by his opponent's extreme speed. He simply could not hit him.

At this moment, the battle between them looked as though Sasuke was being beaten one-sidedly.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninja watching from around them began shouting excitedly.

"Guy! We're counting on you! Take down that arrogant bastard!"

"He dared disrespect Lord Third! He has to pay the price! Go, Guy!"

"Konoha isn't a place for someone like you to run wild! Show him what for, Guy!!"

"..."

However, Guy, upon whom everyone had placed their hopes, only grew increasingly solemn.

He could clearly feel that his attacks were doing absolutely nothing. He was merely scratching the opponent's skin!

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became!

What kind of freakish physical defense was this?

Even a Tailed Beast could not compare, could it?

"You dare lose focus while fighting me!"

Sasuke twisted and delivered a flying kick, striking Guy squarely in the chest.

Bang!!

Guy became a blue meteor and crashed into the group of Konoha ninja who had been shouting the loudest.

"Ah!"

"Puh!"

Quite a few unlucky Konoha ninja were struck and spat blood.

"Ninja really are high-attack, low-defense types. Even Guy with seven gates open is no exception. I can make countless mistakes, while you can only make one. That's reality!"

Sasuke came to a realization, while also feeling fortunate that he had the Super Soldier Serum to take, which had improved his physical abilities across the board.

"Ah!! An attack of that level can't possibly defeat me while my youth is burning!"

Might Guy roared as he charged out from the crowd.

"Daytime Tiger!!"

He roared, the air currents around him churning madly as his aura grew ever more powerful.

The strength within his body flooded into his arm, and he launched a fierce punch!

The next moment,

His terrifying power took tangible form, turning into the phantom of a white tiger that roared as it pounced toward Sasuke with fangs bared!

The instant the white tiger phantom appeared, it brought with it a suffocating pressure.

Even the Konoha ninja watching from the sidelines, though they were not the targets of the attack, still felt their hearts pound in fear.

"This... the power of this technique is absolutely no weaker than any S-rank ninjutsu."

"Go! Daytime Tiger, crush that arrogant bastard into pulp!"

"With such a terrifying move, there's no way it still can't do anything to that guy!"

"..."

The Konoha ninja were all excited, eagerly anticipating the sight of Sasuke being crushed to death by the Daytime Tiger.
