Red steam steamed up from Might Guy's body, like burning flames, wrapping his whole body in it.
The last First Gate--Gate of Death of Eight Gates Released Formation has been opened.
Extreme power surged crazily from his body, and every inch of muscle and every meridian was burning life, in exchange for a terrifying power that far exceeded the limits of the human body. The ground cracked silently under his feet, and the air around him was distorted by this life-burning power. Even the pressure of Chakra escaping from Six Paths Madara in the distance was somewhat dispersed by this indomitable momentum.
"Kay! No!" Kakashi's face turned pale, and he reached out to hold him. His voice was full of despair and anxiety, "Gate of Death once it is turned on, you will die!"
Kai slowly turned his head, with no fear on his face. Instead, he showed a relieved and passionate smile, just like the boy who shouted "youth" back then. He patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and his voice was calm but with unshakable determination. "Kakashi, you said that Konoha ninjas survive by willpower. Now, it is the time for me to implement my tolerance."
He turned his gaze back to Madara in the sky, and there was only unyielding determination in his eyes. "I, Might Guy, Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf, who was born as Konoha, will turn into a red beast today and burn out the last drop of my blood!"
As soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared instantly. It was not Space-Time Ninjutsu, but the pure and extreme speed, so fast that even the Six Paths level Rinnegan could only capture a red afterimage.
"Oh? The power gained by burning life?" Madara raised his eyebrows and looked down at Kai who was rushing towards him, with a hint of amusement and a bit of disdain in his eyes, "It is a bit more interesting than the previous brat, but unfortunately, the power of a mortal cannot reach the level of Six Paths."
He didn't even use Truth-Seeking Orb to defend, he just raised his hand casually, and Limbo: Border Jail's shadow instantly appeared in front of him, trying to stop Kai's surprise attack. But in the next second, Madara's face changed slightly.
Kai, who turned on Gate of Death, had already exceeded the conventional physical limit at speed. He punched out, and the compressed air formed a shock wave that destroyed the world. Not only did it instantly shatter the Limbo: Border Jail shadow's defense, but it also rushed straight towards Madara's face with unparalleled power.
"Evening Elephant·One speed!"
A dull sonic boom shook the world, and the air was extremely compressed to form an air cannon, which hit Madara's body hard. Even though Madara instantly used Truth-Seeking Orb to build a barrier in front of him, the violent impact still caused his body to fly backwards uncontrollably, and all Six Paths Chakra around him was instantly confused.
"What?" Madara steadied himself and looked down at his slightly numb arms. The disdain in his eyes dissipated a little, and there was a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that a mortal without any Six Paths Power could actually launch an attack that could shake him by burning his life.
On the cliff on the east side of the battlefield, Rinto has already locked the core of the perception system on Might Guy.
The moment Kai turned on Gate of Death, he had already anchored hundreds of perception runes scattered into the battlefield around Kai, constructing a set of dynamic observation models specifically for Taijutsu and life energy. Eight Gates Released Formation, which forcibly breaks through human beings at the cost of life, The Taijutsu system of body limits and maximizing body energy is a precious sample that he has never completely observed before. The transformation rules of life energy, body potential and physical power contained in it have irreplaceable value for his research on perfecting the limits of the human body and the essence of Chakra.
Rinto's fingertips hung above the recording device, and the data stream fed back by the runes poured into the device continuously. He accurately captured every detail of Gate of Death's opening: Eight Gates's acupuncture points were opened one by one. At that time, Chakra and the explosive growth of life energy; the tearing and forced compensation of meridians under the impact of extreme force; the extreme contraction and energy conversion efficiency of muscle fibers; and even the stimulating effect of Kai's will on the body's potential were all completely recorded and dismantled by him.
He did not touch Kai's body, nor did he extract physical samples. Instead, he used runes as a medium to reproduce the complete force model of the Evening Elephant attack - from the mobilization of body energy, to the extreme compression of air, to the energy release link of the shock wave, every link was accurately disassembled and entered into his research system.
What interests him even more is that this pure Taijutsu power can actually impact the Six Paths-level body without resorting to any Chakra rules, and can even force Madara to He had to use Truth-Seeking Orb defense. This perfectly complemented his previous understanding of the Six Paths Power response boundary, and also gave him a new understanding of the "Taijutsu" rules of this world.
On the battlefield, Kai's attacks did not pause at all.
"Evening Elephant·Second speed!"
"Evening Elephant·Three speed!"
Deafening sonic booms sounded one after another, and red afterimages shuttled through the air. Kai's figure kept getting closer to Madara like a ghost, punching and punching the ultimate compressed air cannon, hitting Madara like a heavy rain. The power of each blow was stronger than the previous one. The violent shock wave made the entire sky tremble, and even the space was shaken by this extreme Taijutsu power, causing ripples.
Madara's face became more and more solemn. He did not expect that the power gained by burning his life would be so strong. He continued to control Truth-Seeking Orb to build defenses, and Limbo: Border Jail's shadows also continued to attack from the side. But Kai's speed was too fast. He relied entirely on his extreme body instinct to dodge, and Limbo: Border Jail's attacks could not lock his body.
"Evening Elephant·Four speed!"
Kai roared, his figure suddenly rose up, and he slammed down with both fists at the same time. Two air cannons that combined all the power suddenly fell, hitting Madara's Truth-Seeking Orb barrier hard. There was a crisp click, which was enough to disintegrate everything Ninjutsu's Truth-Seeking Orb barrier actually had fine cracks under the extreme Taijutsu impact. Madara's body was slammed to the ground again, and fell heavily into the hard rock and soil, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky.
"Impossible... How could Taijutsu, a mere mortal, hurt me?" Madara slowly rose into the air from the smoke, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of disbelief, and there was a trace of anger and violence. This was the first time since he became Six Paths Madara that he was hurt by someone, and the opponent was a Taijutsu ninja who had not even used Chakra to the extreme.
The Six Paths Chakra around him instantly surged, and the nine Truth-Seeking Orb behind him spread out at the same time, turning into black sharp blades all over the sky, shooting toward Kai. At the same time, four Limbo: Border Jail shadows were dispatched at the same time, launching a blind-angle attack from four dimensions.
"Kai! Be careful!" Kakashi roared, trying to use Kamui to help Kai neutralize the attack, but Kai's speed was too fast, and his Kamui couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
But Kai didn't dodge at all. The red steam around him became more and more intense, and the burning of life had reached the extreme. He stepped on the air suddenly, accelerated again, and actually passed through the gap between the attacks of Truth-Seeking Orb and Limbo: Border Jail, and got close to Madara again.
"Evening Elephant·Five speed!"
This was the last blow of Evening Elephant, and it was also the strongest blow. All the power that exploded after Kai turned on Gate of Death was concentrated in this punch. The moment the fist was swung out, the air in front was completely compressed and crushed, forming a columnar shock wave that could destroy the world and hit Madara's body hard.
This time, Truth-Seeking Orb's defense was completely defeated, and the violent force hit Madara's Six Paths body without reservation. Madara let out a muffled groan, and the Six Paths lines on his chest were shattered, and his body was smashed to the ground again like a meteor, creating a huge crater tens of meters deep in the ground.
The entire battlefield was quiet.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the figure burning with red steam in the sky, and at the man who turned on Gate of Death and wounded the god Six Paths with a mortal body. Even Hashirama and Tobirama, who were nailed to the ground, looked in disbelief.
"It's amazing..." Naruto murmured to himself, looking at Kai's back, his eyes full of shock and admiration.
But only Kai himself knew that after the fifth stage of Evening Elephant, his body was on the verge of collapse. The life-burning backlash of Gate of Death was eroding his body crazily. His skin had begun to crack, his muscles were shaking uncontrollably, and every breath was filled with heartbreaking pain.
But he didn't stop, and he couldn't stop. He knew very well that although Evening Elephant injured Madara, it failed to completely end him. Six Paths's level of recovery would soon restore Madara to his original state. To truly break this desperate situation, he had to use the last move, which was also the strongest move in his life.
Kai slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Madara in the huge pit below. The red steam around him began to spin and condense crazily. His body sank slightly, and he assumed a charging posture. A force that was several times more terrifying than the previous Evening Elephant and was capable of distorting space was gathering crazily in his body.
In the giant pit, Madara's figure slowly floated up. The wound on his chest was being repaired quickly under the nourishment of Six Paths Chakra. His eyes no longer had the previous disdain and playfulness, but were replaced by extreme violence and a trace of provoked anger.
"Very good, very good." Madara's voice was cold and he stared at Kai in the sky. "I have not been forced to do this by a mortal for many years. You have successfully aroused my interest. As a reward, I will kill you with my own hands and let you turn to ashes with this honor."
He raised his hand and waved, and all nine Truth-Seeking Orbs gathered in front of him, turning into an indestructible spherical barrier, firmly protecting him within it. At the same time, all four shadows of Limbo: Border Jail were retracted and guarded around him, making complete defense preparations. He wanted to see what kind of moves this life-burning mortal could come up with.
As for Rinto on the cliff, his attention was completely concentrated at this moment. He could clearly sense that the life energy in Kai's body was burning and compressing at an extremely terrifying speed, and all the life potential was converging towards the final blow. This extreme explosion at the cost of all lives was a unique and non-replicable phenomenon of Shinobi World. The rules for the transformation of life and power contained in it were an extremely important piece of the puzzle in his research system.
The runes on Rinto's fingertips all lit up, constructing a high-precision perception network covering the entire battlefield, bringing all the spatial fluctuations, energy gathering, and body changes around Kai into the scope of observation. He even adjusted the sampling frequency of the recording device in advance to ensure that every detail of the next blow could be fully captured, and even the instantaneous changes in space distortion would not be missed at all.
Kai in the air has completed the final accumulation of power. His eyes are bloodshot and turned red due to the extreme power. The red steam around him has condensed into substantial flames. The space under his feet has been distorted by the power dissipated from his body, causing obvious wrinkles.
He looked at Madara below, used all his strength to yell out the name of this move, and also yelled out the last passion and ninja of his life.
"Ye--kai--!!"
The moment the words fell, Kai's figure turned into a giant red dragon and rushed straight towards Madara. This was no longer a simple running, but a fusion of extreme speed and power. On the path he charged, the space was torn and twisted, forming a spatial fold visible to the naked eye. Even the light was distorted by this force and could not propagate normally.
Madara's pupils suddenly shrank, and even he felt a fatal threat from this move. He activated Six Paths Chakra frantically, raising the defense of the Truth-Seeking Orb barrier to the extreme. At the same time, all the shadows of Limbo: Border Jail were blocked in front of him, trying to block this devastating blow.
But everything is in vain.
Kai, who transformed into a red dragon, directly smashed Limbo: Border Jail's shadow defense, and the twisted space even deformed Truth-Seeking Orb's barrier. His right leg, with the power of burning all his life, kicked Madara's body hard.
Boom--!!!
An explosion shook the world, and a violent shock wave swept through the entire battlefield like a tsunami. A huge ravine hundreds of meters long was plowed out of the ground. Even the roots of God Tree in the distance were shaken slightly by the shock wave. Under this extreme blow, half of the body was directly kicked to pieces. Truth-Seeking Orb flew in all directions. The whole person was like a kite with a broken string, and it hit the depths of the earth. Even Six Paths Chakra collapsed instantly.
Kakashi looked at this scene and tears instantly flowed down. He knew very well that this move used up all of Kai's life. This was a blow that Kai paid for with his own life.
"Guy-sensei!" Naruto roared, his eyes full of shock and distress.
After the charge, Kai slowly fell to the ground. The red steam around him had dissipated completely, and Gate of Death's backlash broke out completely. Starting from his limbs, his body turned into charcoal bit by bit, and his life breath was quickly dissipating like a candle in the wind. He staggered and was about to fall, and Kakashi immediately rushed over and supported him.
"Kay..." Kakashi's voice was choked with sobs, but he couldn't say a word.
Kai opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Kakashi, showed a weak smile, and said with anger, "I... burned out... right..."
At the other end of the battlefield, Madara, who was severely injured by Night Guy, slowly floated up from the pit. Half of his body was still incomplete, but the original Chakra of the Six Paths class was running wildly, and the kicked-to-shattered body was being repaired and reshaped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Night Guy's blow, which was enough to distort space, could not completely kill him, but only caused him to suffer unprecedented heavy injuries.
After Madara repaired his body, he looked down at his own body, and then looked up at Kai, who was exhausted. There was no anger in his eyes, but instead there was a hint of recognition, even admiration.
"I, Madara, would like to call you the strongest."
His voice spread slowly, with absolute pride, but also with the highest respect for this Taijutsu ninja. In his long life, no mortal had ever been able to push him to this point with pure Taijutsu, not even Hashirama Senju.
"It's a pity that even though you burned all your life, you still couldn't kill me." Madara's eyes became cold again, and he raised his hand and prepared to launch an attack, completely ending Kai's life and ending this final resistance.
"You are not allowed to touch Guy-sensei!" Naruto tried his best to mobilize the remaining Chakra in his body, roaring and trying to rush over, but the Black Receiver on his body was locked tightly to his meridians, making him unable to move at all.
Just when Madara's attack was about to fall, a weak but firm wave of Chakra suddenly came from the other side of the battlefield. Obito, which had been suppressed by Black Zetsu, broke free again and used his last strength to activate Kamui.
At the same time, Rinto on the cliff also completed this round of core observation records.
The rules of space distortion during the Night Guy attack, the ultimate transformation of life energy into physical kinetic energy, the complete decay process of the human body from peak to life burnout after Gate of Death is turned on, and even the damage and repair mechanism of the Six Paths body under the ultimate Taijutsu attack, were all completely recorded and archived by him, and added to the core research database.
With a slight movement of his fingertips, an extremely weak space barrier silently stood in front of Kai, without revealing his own existence. It just offset the impact of Madara's Chakra. The reason for his action was still simple - Kai's life had come to an end, but the follow-up actions of Obito and the final plan of Black Zetsu required a relatively complete battlefield environment to advance. He could not let Madara end all variables in advance and disrupt his subsequent observation plan.
After doing all this, he once again cast his gaze in the direction of Obito, as well as Black Zetsu hidden in Obito's body. He could clearly feel that Black Zetsu's attention was completely focused on Madara, and the cold Chakra that had been dormant for a long time was already ready to move, waiting for the final opportunity to backstab.
Madara frowned slightly. His attack just now was actually offset by an inexplicable space force. His Rinnegan swept across the entire scene, but did not find any abnormal traces. He just thought it was the spatial chaos left by the shock wave of Night Guy just now, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
His attention quickly returned to God Tree. Although he was severely injured by Night Guy's attack, it failed to stop his plan. The buds at the top of God Tree were about to mature, and the opening of Infinite Tsukuyomi was already close at hand.
He glanced coldly at Kai on the ground and made no move. In his eyes, this man who had burned out his life was no longer a threat and was not worth wasting any more energy. His core goal now was to open Infinite Tsukuyomi and complete the plan he had planned for decades.
Madara slowly rose into the air, suspended above the main trunk of God Tree, a pair of Rinnegan stared at the buds at the top, and the Six Paths Chakra around him began to complete the final linkage with the original power of God Tree.
The air in the entire battlefield solidified again. Although Kai's desperate blow severely injured Madara, it failed to change the final outcome. The shadow of Infinite Tsukuyomi still shrouded everyone's heads, and the aura of despair was stronger than before.
