Bang!
The aura around Might Guy shifted from green to an even fiercer blue.
Blue vapor erupted and roiled, blasting the ordinary Konoha ninja around him away.
The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder, opened.
"So that's how it is." Uchiha Shadian stared at Might Guy, his Mangekyō Sharingan trembling slightly.
"There's still the Gate of Death. Hurry and use it—give me a surprise, Guy," Uchiha Shadian murmured.
"Guy's aura got stronger again! He's amazing!" Rin Nohara widened her eyes in shock. Might Guy had once been the bottom-ranked student in their class, yet he had become this powerful. It was simply too surprising.
"At the peak of Super-Kage, beneath Six Paths," Uchiha Shadian said.
Might Guy, with the Gate of Wonder opened, could defeat Super-Kage-level experts. With the Gate of Death opened, he could temporarily suppress Six Paths-level experts.
Rin Nohara blinked, unable to understand what Uchiha Shadian meant. What were Super-Kage and Six Paths?
"Daytime Tiger." Below, the moment Might Guy opened the Gate of Wonder, he decisively launched an attack at Izuna Uchiha.
An enormous air blast transformed into a white tiger and charged toward Izuna Uchiha's Susanoo.
"He can still erupt with more power?" Izuna Uchiha's expression changed slightly. This burst from Might Guy was at least ten times stronger than before.
In the instant Izuna Uchiha was stunned, the white tiger had already reached him.
Might Guy was so fast that Izuna Uchiha had no time to dodge and could only face it head-on.
"Not just his chakra—even his speed has increased more than tenfold. This guy..."
Izuna Uchiha was horrified. With no time to evade, he could only raise the giant sword held by Susanoo in front of himself.
Bang!
The Daytime Tiger slammed into the giant sword, and the tremendous impact drove Izuna Uchiha back again and again.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Cracks spread across the Susanoo.
"How is this possible? My strongest defense..." Izuna Uchiha stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sturdy Susanoo shattered continuously like glass.
In an instant, Izuna Uchiha could only watch helplessly as the massive Daytime Tiger swallowed him whole.
"Ah! Brother Shadian, did Guy defeat Senior Izuna?" Seeing Izuna Uchiha swallowed by the technique released by Might Guy, Rin Nohara cried out.
Uchiha Shadian remained silent.
"Guy." Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a delighted expression. He had never expected Might Guy to unleash such powerful strength, and it came as an immense surprise. Perhaps the power Might Guy had unleashed could end this upheaval.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed. If Might Guy could defeat Izuna Uchiha, then he could defeat Uchiha Shadian. In his view, Uchiha Shadian was weaker than Izuna Uchiha; he had merely relied on the might of his weapons.
"Senior Guy is actually this strong?" Itachi Uchiha narrowed his eyes, shock appearing in his pale face. He knew Might Guy was Kakashi's rival and a taijutsu expert, but he had never imagined he would be this powerful.
"With this power, he can probably defeat Uncle." Itachi Uchiha did not know whether he should feel happy or worried. If his guess was right and Uchiha Shadian could revive his parents and younger brother, then he did not want Uchiha Shadian to be defeated. What he wanted was to subdue Uchiha Shadian and have him revive his younger brother. As for the others, there was no need to revive them and create more conflicts with the village.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Izuna Uchiha's Susanoo collapsed, and the powerful Daytime Tiger battered his body, sending him flying again and again as he repeatedly smashed into the ground.
He did not know how far the force had driven him. He only stopped after crashing through and destroying an entire mountain.
Pfft!
Izuna Uchiha spat a mouthful of black blood.
His physical constitution was inferior to Kisame Hoshigaki's, and that strike had shattered all his internal organs. A branch had also pierced through his chest, making survival even more impossible.
"I never thought that I, Izuna Uchiha, would be beaten to death once by taijutsu." As he sighed, one of Izuna Uchiha's eyes dimmed.
Bang!
Might Guy landed beside a tree trunk stained red with blood.
"I clearly hit his real body. He should be here, so why did he suddenly disappear?" Blue vapor rising from his body, Might Guy frowned deeply at the spot where Izuna Uchiha had lain moments ago. At his speed, the other man should not have had time to use a Shadow Clone, and he could sense that he had completely struck Izuna Uchiha's real body.
But why was there no sign of him?
Might Guy could not make sense of it.
He had not seen anyone come and take him away either.
"Fire Release, Majestic Destroyer Flame." Suddenly, a cold voice rang out above Might Guy's head.
Immediately afterward, a vast sea of flames completely engulfed an area hundreds of meters around Might Guy.
"What? How is this possible?" Not only was Might Guy stunned, but Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other ninja who believed Might Guy had dealt with Izuna Uchiha were equally shocked.
"How is that possible? Guy clearly hit him. Why can he appear above Guy completely unharmed and counterattack him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with wide eyes.
"It's Izanagi." The Uchiha Clan forbidden technique immediately surfaced in Itachi Uchiha's mind.
With Izanagi, a user could use the Sharingan to turn every unfavorable event that happened to them within a short period into something that had never occurred.
By selecting a time state favorable to themselves and turning it into reality, they could instantly reverse their own condition. No matter how severe the injury, whether grievously wounded or dead, they could reverse it and recover.
Although this forbidden technique defied the heavens, it came at a cost.
The Sharingan eye used to perform the technique would lose its light forever.
That was why the Uchiha Clan had classified it as a forbidden technique.
The massive sea of flames completely enveloped Might Guy. Caught in a sneak attack, he was surrounded by fire on all sides, his retreat cut off and leaving him nowhere to escape.
"Wind may fan flames, but before a powerful storm, flames can also be extinguished."
"Daytime Tiger!"
Might Guy gritted his teeth and unleashed Daytime Tiger again, intending to use this move to blow out Izuna Uchiha's flames.
Bang!
The enormous shockwave blasted a hole through the flames. Might Guy shot through it behind the Daytime Tiger, charging toward Izuna Uchiha.
"Even under a sneak attack, he reacted so quickly. Such strong battle instincts."
Izuna Uchiha kept one eye closed as he stared intently at Might Guy.
"Susanoo." Blue Susanoo rose around Izuna Uchiha once more.
This time, blood flowed from his remaining eye as he used Susanoo.
"That turtle shell again? Watch me break it."
"Leaf Great Whirlwind."
Bang!
Might Guy's high-speed spinning kick slammed heavily into the Susanoo.
Crack!
The Susanoo shattered once again. Might Guy rushed inside and kicked Izuna Uchiha in the chest.
Boom!
Izuna Uchiha fell like a shooting star.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
Izuna Uchiha crashed into another mountain forest.
This time, his forehead struck a massive boulder.
"I'll be back." In his final moment before death, he did not use his last Sharingan to perform the Uchiha Clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi, again.
There was no point. A blind man could not defeat someone who moved at such high speed.
Bang!
Might Guy descended and stomped down, crushing Izuna Uchiha beneath his foot.
After a long while, there was still no sign of Izuna Uchiha's body doing anything. Only then did Might Guy's tense nerves relax. "Kakashi, I've avenged you."
"Wonderful!" Seeing Might Guy kick Izuna Uchiha apart and completely finish him off, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not help becoming excited.
"This upheaval can end soon." Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was filled with delight. Now, only the Nine-Tails trapped in the swamp and Uchiha Shadian remained.
As for Rin Nohara, a medical ninja, he ignored her entirely.
The other Konoha ninja also revealed excited expressions.
"Guy took that guy out! This is great!"
"Once we take out Uchiha Shadian, we win."
"Quick! Destroy Uchiha Shadian's four Shadow Clones and seize those special swords!"
With Might Guy's victory, the Konoha ninja became as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants. It was as though Uchiha Shadian had already become fish on their chopping block, ready to be slaughtered at their pleasure.
