Eight Gates and the Six Powers

Seeing Lin Yan and Might Guy's actions, Naruto and Sasuke immediately realized something was wrong.

Who's that guy with the watermelon head?

Naruto asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it looks like the two of them are going to have a showdown..."

Sasuke answered.

"Uncle Lin is going to have a go at that guy with the watermelon head? Wow, we'd better watch closely!"

Naruto immediately became excited and headed straight for Lin Yan and Might Guy in the distance.

Sasuke immediately followed.

Lin Yan arrived at the center of the training field, turned around and looked at Might Guy who had followed her, and smiled, "How do you want to compete?"

"It's just a normal sparring match, we'll stop when we've reached a point."

"I will do my best, and I hope you won't hold back either."

Matt Kay said confidently.

Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled inwardly.

He thought to himself that if he held nothing back, Might Guy would probably have to open at least the Eight Gates Formation to even be able to match him...

He didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.

"So, shall we begin?"

Just as he finished speaking, Naruto's voice came from behind him.

"Uncle Lin, you really want to have a competition?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Yan turned to look at Naruto, smiled and nodded, "Why aren't you guys training? What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, who is this guy?"

Naruto looked at Might Guy, who was about the same age as Kakashi, around twenty years old.

"I am Might Guy, the proud Blue Beast of Konoha— "

Once again, Might Guy confidently struck his signature pose in front of Naruto and Sasuke, a move that left Sasuke speechless.

However, Naruto didn't seem to mind; instead, he showed a look of surprise and anticipation.

"Blue Beast, that sounds really powerful!"

"Brother Kai, but let me warn you, my Uncle Lin is incredibly powerful!"

Naruto was very happy that so many people came to the training ground today.

He has lived a lonely life since he was old enough to understand things. No one knows how much he longs for companionship and how much he craves lively company.

"If you want to watch the game, go over there."

"Naruto, Sasuke."

Lin Yan reminded her.

"Okay, Uncle Lin, you have to add it!"

"Brother Kai, you can do it too!"

Naruto cheered them on.

Sasuke also cheered for Lin Yan, while Might Guy, not recognizing him, simply nodded politely.

Once Naruto and Sasuke reached Kakashi's side, Lin Yan beckoned to Might Guy with her finger.

"Hmph... You want me to take the initiative and launch the attack?"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Matt Kai grinned, and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly moved like a whirlwind.

With a "whoosh," a leaf was swept up from the spot, and Might Guy had already covered a distance of seven or eight meters to reach Lin Yan.

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

Might Guy used the Konoha Style Taijutsu.

He raised his right leg high and delivered a powerful whip kick to Lin Yan's left side.

It looked like the kick was about to hit its target.

However, in that instant, Lin Yan suddenly vanished.

"Call--"

Matt Kai spun around in place, kicked at nothing, and was utterly surprised.

"Over here!"

His eyes followed Lin Yan's movements, and he quickly caught sight of Lin Yan appearing to his left front as if she were a ghost.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Matt Kai pushed off with all his might, and like an arrow released from a bow, he charged towards Lin Yan once again.

"From a purely physical combat perspective, you're quite fast."

Lin Yan exclaimed in admiration.

At the same time, he casually combined the Shave and Geppo techniques, once again changing direction with Inazuma speed.

"Your speed is also amazing!"

"Just as Kakashi said, your proficiency in the Six Powers is far superior to his! And it's also much more powerful!"

Before coming to find Lin Yan, Might Guy had already fought Kakashi.

Kakashi copied the Six Powers using his Sharingan. Might Guy had already experienced its power; at that time, he needed to open the second gate of the Eight Gates to keep up with Kakashi's speed.

Only after opening the third gate was Kakashi finally defeated.

Facing Lin Yan, whose proficiency with the Six Powers far surpassed Kakashi's, he instantly realized that under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to touch his opponent.

Might Guy then immediately began to unravel the Eight Gates.

"Boom--"

A tremendous surge of Chakra suddenly erupted from his body.

"Eight Gates, Fourth Gate - Open!"

With a "whoosh," Might Guy's figure disappeared from the spot; his speed was completely invisible to the naked eye.

"It was really fast!"

Lin Yan's Observation Haki was too late to detect Might Guy's presence, and he couldn't help but marvel.

At the same time, he subconsciously raised his left hand as if to block.

The next second, Might Guy appeared to his left and delivered a whip kick aimed at Lin Yan's head.

"Thump!"

Both of them moved with equal speed.

From the perspective of Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke at a distance, it looked as if Lin Yan had deliberately reached out to let Might Guy kick her.

The two separated immediately after the initial contact, and judging from the current situation, they seem to be evenly matched.

Such a brilliant move right from the start is truly breathtaking.

"Brother Kai is amazing! He's so fast!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"And he's also very strong..."

Sasuke's gaze was fixed on the ground beneath Might Guy's feet.

He had clearly noticed that the ground had noticeably sunken in when Matt Kai moved.

Even the air vibrated slightly.

That's a commotion that ordinary speed and power can't create.

However, their abilities were ultimately limited, and they couldn't discern the true nature of the situation.

Only Kakashi saw the truth.

"Even the fourth gate can't withstand his Six Powers?"

Kakashi thought to himself.

Just now, it seemed that the contest between Lin Yan and Matt Kai was evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

But only Kakashi knew that Might Guy was at a slight disadvantage.

And this was even when Lin Yan wasn't taking it seriously.

If Lin Yan were to fight seriously and use her true power, then with Might Guy's current strength and speed, there would be no way for him to withstand it.

Clearly, Matt Kay himself was aware of this.

"You're really strong!"

"The speed of the Six Powers is truly beyond my expectations!"

Might Guy never imagined that someone could possess such formidable physical skills even in their normal state.

Even after opening the fourth gate of the Eight Gates, he was only barely able to contend with Lin Yan.

However, you can't defeat your opponent with your current form alone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Might Guy activated an even stronger form.

"Eight Gates, Fifth Gate, Gate of Closure, Open!"
