Red steam erupted.
A surging blast wave swept outward from Might Guy at its center.
The overwhelmingly powerful airwave forced Rin Nohara and the others watching nearby to retreat again and again.
"What powerful momentum." Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "With such immense chakra, Senior Guy might really be able to defeat Uncle."
"Guy is actually this strong?" The other Konoha ninja stared in shock.
"Brother Shadian." Seeing Guy unleash such terrifying momentum, Rin Nohara could not help showing a worried expression.
"As expected, he's incredibly powerful." Seeing Might Guy open the Gate of Death, Uchiha Shadian became excited. Though he might very well die, being able to completely copy the Eight Gates Formation that Might Guy had spent twenty years mastering would still be worth it.
Bang!
Might Guy charged toward Uchiha Shadian, moving so fast that sonic booms erupted.
"As expected, impressive. His speed is actually infinitely close to the speed of sound."
"Hahaha, Guy, you truly deserve to be called the number one taijutsu master."
"Come, let me experience it properly!" Uchiha Shadian's Sharingan spun wildly, recording everything. "Unleash all your techniques to your heart's content!"
"Sage Art, Wood Release, True Several Thousand Hands." A colossal thousand-armed Buddha statue rose from thin air.
"Evening Elephant. One Foot!" Might Guy threw a punch.
A terrifying air cannon shot toward Uchiha Shadian at nearly the speed of sound.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the massive air cannon struck the Buddha statue.
Bang!
The enormous thousand-armed Buddha statue instantly collapsed.
The massive air cannon did not weaken in the slightest and slammed directly into Uchiha Shadian.
It carried him straight toward a nearby mountain.
Boom!
The mountain was blasted apart and instantly flattened.
"What terrifying power. That one punch is actually comparable to the explosion of a Tailed Beast Bomb released at full power by the Nine-Tails." Itachi Uchiha's face was full of astonishment.
"Senior Guy is so powerful!"
"Under that attack, Uchiha Shadian is definitely dead."
The three Konoha ninja became excited.
The elite jonin of the Hyuga Clan showed worried expressions instead.
Seeing this scene, Rin Nohara's face turned pale. She was more worried about Uchiha Shadian than anyone else. "Brother Shadian."
Cough!
Within the ruins, Uchiha Shadian violently spat out blood.
The four sword scabbards at his waist glowed.
"As expected, impressive."
"The attack was so fast that there was no time to form hand seals and evade."
"If not for the barrier protection of the Four-Sword Scabbards, that attack would have finished me. Even so, I'm seriously injured."
"Sure enough, without a Six Paths Body, an ordinary body simply cannot withstand the force of Might Guy's attack after opening the Gate of Death."
"One more move, and I'll be able to replicate it completely."
Bang!
Might Guy landed heavily in front of Uchiha Shadian.
"He's not dead?" Seeing that Uchiha Shadian had merely coughed up blood rather than being blasted into fragments by his punch, Might Guy was somewhat surprised.
"Hahaha, Guy, you truly are impressive. But if you want to kill me, you're still a little short."
Rather than feeling fear, Uchiha Shadian laughed excitedly.
Whoosh!
Uchiha Shadian used the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared directly behind Might Guy.
Just as he was about to attack—
A fist came hurtling toward him.
Bang!
Another Evening Elephant!
The massive, violent air cannon struck Uchiha Shadian directly.
"So fast."
"He noticed me the instant I completed the transfer and launched his attack beforehand. What terrifying battle awareness."
Hahaha, am I going to die? These thoughts instantly surged through Uchiha Shadian's mind.
"No, there's still the ultimate technique!"
"I can't die like this."
"Tenseiga!"
Bang!
In an instant, Uchiha Shadian was blasted deep underground.
"It hit."
"At that speed, Uchiha Shadian had no time to form hand seals at all."
"Senior Guy won."
The three Konoha ninja from the Hokage faction cried out in delight.
"Brother Shadian." Rin Nohara was overwhelmed with worry, tears streaming down her face.
"Uncle." Itachi Uchiha clenched his fists. He had yet to obtain Uchiha Shadian's ninjutsu for reviving the dead, so he did not want Uchiha Shadian to die.
Bang!
A sharp sound of something tearing through the air rose from deep underground.
Uchiha Shadian leaped out and landed heavily on the ground, looking completely unharmed.
Seeing Uchiha Shadian completely unscathed, Might Guy's face filled with astonishment. "How is that possible? How could you be completely fine?"
"How is that possible?"
"How does this guy not show a single trace of injury?"
"Senior Guy's first attack clearly made him cough up blood."
The three Konoha ninja from the Hokage faction said with stunned expressions.
The three Hyuga Clan jonin showed barely concealed delight in their eyes upon seeing this.
"That's great, Brother Shadian. Rin knew you would definitely be all right." Rin Nohara said as she wiped away her tears.
Uchiha Shadian stared at Might Guy with a cold sneer. "Guy, your attacks are powerful, but they aren't enough."
"If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you'll have to bring out an even stronger technique."
As Uchiha Shadian spoke, he raised his hand, and two Wind Release: Rasenshuriken formed in his palms.
"This time, it's my turn to counterattack." In an instant, Uchiha Shadian threw one Wind Release: Rasenshuriken at Might Guy. At the same moment, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly appeared behind Might Guy, hurling the Rasenshuriken in his hand at him as well.
"A pincer attack from front and back. Let's see how you dodge this!"
Bang!
A sonic boom rang out.
Might Guy's figure appeared directly behind Uchiha Shadian.
"He can accelerate even more? How is that possible?" Uchiha Shadian's expression changed slightly.
Boom!
Another Evening Elephant struck Uchiha Shadian.
Bang!
Uchiha Shadian was blasted deep underground once more.
"Evening Elephant. Two Foot."
"Three Foot."
"Four Foot."
"Five Foot."
"Six Foot."
Might Guy continuously unleashed five more Evening Elephants into the deep pit.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The earth shook.
The ground throughout the surrounding area collapsed.
Uchiha Shadian was completely buried deep underground.
"Shadian, this is the grave I prepared for you." Might Guy said, panting.
"Is that so?"
"Not necessarily."
Uchiha Shadian's icy voice sounded behind Might Guy.
Might Guy's body trembled violently. He turned around and looked at Uchiha Shadian in disbelief.
"I clearly felt the impact. I hit your real body. At such high speed, you had no time to use the Substitution Jutsu. How exactly did you survive?"
Uchiha Shadian replied coldly, "The same technique is useless against me."
"If you want to kill me, you'll need a faster and stronger technique."
"But I think you've already reached your limit, Guy."
"Now it's my turn to go on the offensive."
"If that's what you want, then so be it." Might Guy gathered all the chakra in his body into his heart. "This time, I'll smash you directly into dust."
Might Guy lowered his body, blazing blood vessels appearing all over him. "Eight Gates' ultimate technique, Night Guy!!!"
"You're finally using it. The price I paid was not in vain." Uchiha Shadian's Sharingan trembled rapidly.
Bang!
With the force to distort space, Might Guy viciously kicked Uchiha Shadian.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!!!
Uchiha Shadian's body gradually split apart.
At the final moment before his head shattered, Uchiha Shadian's right eye emitted a flash of white light.
