Uchiha Shadian had no idea that Obito Uchiha was digging through the Konoha Ruins, searching for traces of him and Rin Nohara. He thought Obito was still hiding somewhere, secretly watching.
Amid the crowd, Izuna Uchiha cut down several Konoha ninja blocking his path before clashing with Might Guy.
Bang!
Their attacks collided.
"Not bad strength. State your name. I, Izuna Uchiha, do not kill nobodies," Izuna Uchiha said coldly.
"You've already killed so many nameless people. What are you pretending for?" Might Guy frowned. "I am Might Guy. Konoha's Blue Beast will kill you and avenge Kakashi."
Might Guy's words made Izuna Uchiha's mouth twitch. "Fine. The weak are not worthy of remembering their names."
"Might Guy, was it? If you want revenge, you'll have to ask the blade in my hand first."
Uchiha Shadian swung his blade at Might Guy.
Might Guy drew two nunchaku from his waist and met the attack.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Their weapons collided rapidly, producing a string of sharp clangs.
Sparks scattered in all directions.
They moved so fast that the eye could barely follow.
"You can actually keep up with the speed of my Body Flicker Technique. As expected, you're different from those trash ninja." Excitement flashed in Izuna Uchiha's eyes.
Twin Fang! Might Guy continued swinging his nunchaku, taking the initiative to attack Izuna Uchiha in hopes of finding an opening.
But Izuna Uchiha was known as a man without flaws. Finding a weakness in him was undoubtedly difficult.
Even Tobirama Senju had only managed to land a sneak attack with the Flying Thunder God Slash after Izuna Uchiha had let his guard down.
Therefore, Might Guy's current speed was still insufficient if he wanted to find Izuna Uchiha's weakness.
After several exchanges, Might Guy realized this as well. At his current speed, he could do nothing to Izuna Uchiha.
He also understood that the man before him had killed Kakashi. He would not reveal an opening so easily.
He had never expected Twin Fang alone to defeat Izuna Uchiha. He had only used it to test him.
"Since my speed isn't enough to break through, then I'll increase it." Might Guy's expression hardened. Under Izuna Uchiha's puzzled gaze, he casually discarded the nunchaku in his hands. As a taijutsu specialist, his fists and legs were his strongest weapons.
"Sixth Gate, Gate of View, open!" As Might Guy shouted, a surge of green energy erupted around him.
"Green chakra? So that's what I saw earlier!" Izuna Uchiha said casually, but he quickly frowned. "No, that isn't chakra. It's steam!"
"What exactly is this technique?"
"Green steam? I've never heard of such a thing. He looks like a miniature hurricane."
Izuna Uchiha stared at Might Guy with a frown. At first, he had thought the energy surrounding Might Guy was chakra, but after examining it carefully with his Sharingan, he discovered that the green glow around Might Guy was not connected to the chakra in his meridians.
With a whoosh.
Might Guy instantly closed in on Izuna Uchiha at astonishing speed.
Leaf Great Whirlwind.
Then, with a sweeping kick, he launched a flying strike at Izuna Uchiha.
"So fast."
"His speed is at least several times faster than before."
Izuna Uchiha's pupils contracted. His body had no time to dodge, and he could only defend in haste.
Bang!
Might Guy's kick struck the katana Izuna Uchiha had raised to block it.
Crack!
The struck katana snapped and flew from Izuna Uchiha's hand.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The remaining force of the impact dragged Izuna Uchiha backward without pause.
Only after retreating more than ten meters did Izuna Uchiha finally stop.
Morning Peacock. Taking advantage of Izuna Uchiha's failure to react in time, Might Guy launched another consecutive attack.
He unleashed a relentless barrage of high-speed punches at Izuna Uchiha.
In an instant, flames filled the sky and engulfed Izuna Uchiha.
Izuna Uchiha's body could not react in time. As he watched the flames descend, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun, and the three-tomoe pattern instantly transformed into the shape of a Mangekyo.
The moment the flames struck his body, he shouted, "Susanoo!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless flames bombarded Izuna Uchiha's position, completely burying his figure.
Endless smoke billowed up, utterly swallowing Izuna Uchiha.
"Guy! Can he do it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the scene in astonishment. He had never expected Might Guy to display such shocking strength. The power he unleashed was actually enough to suppress Izuna Uchiha. Under such high-speed consecutive attacks, Izuna Uchiha's body simply could not dodge.
"Such fast attacks. Izuna-sama is in danger." Standing atop the Nine-Tails' head, Rin Nohara could not help but worry at the sight.
"Guy still cannot kill Izuna-sama with that move alone," Uchiha Shadian said with certainty.
Sure enough, as soon as Uchiha Shadian finished speaking.
Boom!
As the smoke dispersed, a massive blue head slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Not long after, a gigantic blue giant emerged in everyone's sight.
"That troublesome Susanoo again." Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
"As expected, Morning Peacock alone can't defeat you." This result was within Might Guy's expectations.
"You are worthy of making me use the Uchiha Clan's true power."
Izuna Uchiha floated within Susanoo's head, looking down at Might Guy with cold indifference.
Faced with Izuna Uchiha's icy, murderous gaze, Might Guy remained calm.
A massive blue katana condensed in Susanoo's hand.
Izuna Uchiha controlled Susanoo and brought its blade down upon Might Guy.
"It's so huge. If that hits me, it'll be bad."
Might Guy frowned and ran swiftly to evade the attack.
"Let's first see whether my current strength can break through it."
Might Guy was not worried about being hit. He quickly evaded every slash Izuna Uchiha sent down.
Leaf Strong Whirlwind. He rapidly closed in, circled behind it, and delivered a heavy kick to Izuna Uchiha's Susanoo.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out.
A crack appeared where Might Guy had struck Susanoo.
"It worked."
Might Guy was delighted.
But in the next moment, his delight quickly vanished.
The crack healed at a visible rate.
"Might Guy, you are the strongest taijutsu user I have encountered so far. I, Izuna Uchiha, acknowledge you as the strongest in taijutsu."
"But unfortunately, you cannot break through my defense."
"You shouldn't be able to maintain that state for long. Your speed will soon decrease."
"When that happens, your time of death will come."
Izuna Uchiha looked down at Might Guy from above.
"Looks like I have no choice but to use that move." Might Guy's gaze was resolute.
"Kakashi, rest easy. I'll kill the enemy who murdered you and avenge you immediately."
"Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder... open!"
