The wind whipped up the banks of the Naka River.
On the vast, desolate plain, sand and gravel were whipped into the air by violent air currents, crackling and popping.
Tens of thousands of ninjas and civilians held their breath, staring intently at the two figures in the center of the arena.
Kakashi Hatake pulled down his mask, Three-Tomoe Sharingan to spin wildly.
He understood his friend's persistence and pride better than anyone else.
Facing the unfathomable Senju the Great, who had achieved physical sainthood, Might Guy would never test or hold back!
" Lord Kenya, let's skip the warm-up!"
A hundred meters away, a raging fire ignited in Might Guy's eyes.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his muscles bulged wildly in an instant, veins popping out like coiled dragons!
" Eight Gates Released Formation--!"
"First Gate of Opening, open! Second Gate of Healing, open! Third Gate of Life, open!"
Accompanied by a barrage of angry roars.
Might Guy's skin instantly turned bright red with blood, and a violent shockwave exploded from his body, shattering the hard rock beneath his feet!
But this is only the beginning!
"Fourth Gate of Pain, open! Fifth Gate of Limit, open!!"
Might Guy's Chakra surged wildly, and the earth began to tremble violently!
" Sixth Gate — Gate of View, open!!"
"BOOM--!!!"
A burst of extremely violent, solidified green flames, like a volcanic eruption, shot out from Might Guy's body and into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters!
The wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere!
Under this terrifying pressure and high temperature, the surrounding air even began to distort and deform!
This is one of Konoha's strongest forbidden techniques, the Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf that unleashes all physical limitations!
"Is this Teacher Kaido's true power?!"
On the distant cliff, Rock Lee Li clenched his fists and shouted with tears welling up in his eyes.
The next moment.
With the Gate of View wide open, Might Guy vanished into thin air without warning!
"Boom!"
The ground he was standing on instantly exploded, creating a crater several meters deep.
Because of his incredible speed, a long, white sonic boom trail was created behind him!
In the blink of an eye, Might Guy's figure had already leaped hundreds of meters into the air!
He looked down from his vantage point, his arms transforming into a dense barrage of afterimages as he unleashed a furious barrage of punches at the motionless Kenya below!
" Morning Peacock!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom--!"
The speed of the punch exceeded the limits of human vision, generating extreme high-speed friction with the air and instantly igniting a raging inferno!
Hundreds and thousands of crimson fireballs bloomed brilliantly in mid-air, like a peacock spreading its tail!
A sky-covering meteor shower of fire, carrying devastating heat and impact, crashed down upon Kenya!
The entire wasteland of the Naka River was illuminated as a sea of fire!
However.
Senju Kenya, standing right in the center of the fiery rain, didn't even change the position of his slippers.
He stood shirtless, facing the sweltering heat, a hearty, unrestrained laugh spreading across his face.
"Well done! That's the kind of punch a real man should throw!"
Faced with an overwhelming barrage of fireballs Morning Peacock.
Kenya neither used Wood Release nor employed Conqueror's Haki's Haki.
He simply tucked his fists into his chest.
The deep, pure black Armament Haki instantly transformed into the hardest armor, completely covering his arms and chest!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The dull, metallic clanging sounds echoed repeatedly across the wasteland!
Kenya's arms moved freely up and down, blocking and swinging.
Each fireball, hot enough to destroy a tank, slammed into Kenya's blackened arms and chest.
It was as if they were all fragile glass balls crashing into a steel mountain!
Kakkō flew everywhere, and shockwaves surged!
The violent explosions tore open scorched craters beneath Kenya's feet.
But Kenya himself was like a black reef standing tall amidst a raging storm.
Despite the torrential rain of fire, he stood rooted to the spot, not taking a single step back!
Not even a single strand of his wildly dancing black hair was singed!
"How is this possible?!"
The ninjas on the cliffside spectators gasped in horror.
He faced the Morning Peacock head-on, yet his defensive stance was so lax that he didn't even break a scratch!
"Call--!"
The flames gradually dissipated.
Using the recoil, Might Guy's body plummeted like a meteor onto the wasteland a hundred meters away.
He plowed two deep furrows, each tens of meters long, into the ground with his feet.
He was covered in green sweat and breathing heavily.
Looking at Kenya, who was unharmed and still twisting his neck, Might Guy showed no sign of dejection. Instead, the fighting spirit in his thick eyebrows and big eyes surged wildly to a frenzied level!
"That's incredible... truly a godlike physique!"
Might Guy slammed his hands on his thighs and let out a deafening roar.
"But! My youth will never stop here!!"
Might Guy suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest, forcibly squeezing all his blood and Chakra to their true limit!
" The Seventh Gate--!!"
" Gate of Wonder, open!!!"
"Boom boom boom boom--!!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and the sky and earth seemed to collapse!
The raging green aura that had surrounded Might Guy transformed in that instant into a dazzling, violently churning storm of deep blue aura!
The earth was torn open with deep, crisscrossing cracks!
Even the icy, rushing waters of the Naka River were forced to flow backward and churn under the devastating pressure of this pure Taijutsu!
Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf, Ultimate Awakening!
Amidst the raging, deep blue steam, Might Guy's hands moved at incredible speed, forming the profound Tiger Seal, a symbol of the pinnacle of Taijutsu!
The air was compressed to an extreme degree, and a gigantic white tiger beast of air took shape and roared in the void!
