Under the massive pressure of Chakra, Guy's Daytime Tiger aftershock was forcibly dispersed by the opponent.
Shenno laughed loudly: "Your use of the Eight Gates is indeed very powerful, even stronger than mine, but you cannot open the Eighth Gate, while I can!"
"You call that the Eighth Gate?"
A surge of rage suddenly rose in Might Guy's chest.
The Gate of Death.
The final gate that can be opened in the Eight Gates.
It was a tragic song of life, and also the most brilliant color in Guy's heart.
However.
The current Shenno was not quite the same as the Eighth Gate in Guy's memory. Although Shenno's physical functions were unprecedentedly powerful, he didn't have that Red steam.
"Stop insulting the Gate of Death! A weak and cowardly person like you could never truly open the Eighth Gate!"
Might Guy calmed down and quickly understood the reason. "You've only highly activated your body and slightly opened some of the limits."
"You—"
Shenno's expression changed abruptly.
There was shock, and also disbelief.
The fact that the opponent could tell at a glance that he hadn't opened the Eighth Gate was enough to prove that this person had either seen the real Eight Gates, or—
The opponent mastered the techniques of the Eighth Gate!
This was a realm that even he hadn't mastered and didn't dare to attempt.
But in the next second, he forced himself to be calm and said: "You don't dare to open the Eighth Gate. Once opened, you will truly die!"
"To protect Konoha, and to protect the people I cherish—"
Guy was saying loudly.
At this moment, his movement paused as Inoichi's voice came to his ear: "Guy, Hokage-sama's order: do not use the Eighth Gate!"
His movement immediately stalled.
A Signal flare exploded in the sky.
The next moment, a piercing sharp sound came from behind.
Guy immediately used Body Flicker to dodge.
Following that, a giant staff flew in diagonally from a distance, stabbing towards Shenno's heart.
Shenno, who was in place, disappeared in an instant, turning into an afterimage.
The adamantine staff missed!
But the next second, a huge force came from below.
Might Guy delivered a Body Flicker kick.
Boom!
The massive impact force sent both parties flying back; they were actually evenly matched.
But the result was that while he was being knocked back, the adamantine staff changed direction and struck down from above.
Boom!
He was smashed into the ground by the staff, unable to move for a moment.
"How—"
"Is it possible!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi!
A look of terror flashed in Shenno's eyes.
Back then, Hiruzen Sarutobi had made him feel deep fear, which was why he hadn't taken action and chose to flee during the battle where the Sky Ninja village was destroyed.
After so many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still this strong!
The next second, he turned to anger, holding the adamantine staff with both hands and lifting it up with all his might.
But before he could complete the movement, the adamantine staff above straightened. His grip loosened and his body stumbled. The next moment—
Boom!
The adamantine staff smashed down, crushing the teaching building to pieces along with it. Shenno was ground even deeper into the soil.
Immediately, Might Guy let out a roar and kicked down from above.
Bang!
The ground cracked open.
Shenno was driven deep underground, his body nearly splitting apart.
In an instant, a giant snake emerged from the earth and swallowed him. Before the exhausted Guy or the adamantine staff could act, it vanished back into the ground.
"Guy, Hokage-sama's order: do not use the Eighth Gate!"
Inoichi's warnings came repeatedly to his ear.
Below, the person had been rescued.
Guy was already powerless to pursue.
"The Rescue squad will be here soon, just hang in there!"
Might Guy panted heavily, his whole body radiating deep exhaustion. He stumbled back and nearly collapsed, but he still forced himself to stay upright.
At the Training Ground, where the Chunin Exams were taking place.
"What's happening?"
The group of people looked anxious.
"Enemies are attacking Konoha, but don't worry, we in Konoha will handle it. The Chunin Exams will not be affected in any way."
Mitarashi Anko's gaze swept around, and she suddenly frowned. "Where did the Jonin from Takigakure go?"
Everyone looked around and finally realized—
The female Jonin leading the Takigakure team had disappeared at some point, and no one had noticed anything unusual.
—
Everyone was dazed, and then their expressions gradually became serious.
Mitarashi Anko's expression turned stern as she formed seals to create a clone to report the news. "Don't wander around, everyone. Stay here calmly and continue the exam."
But after a while, a violent explosion sounded from outside the forest.
Anko instinctively wanted to rush over there, but stopped herself at the last moment.
She couldn't leave!
Not far away, at the source of the explosion—
Uchiha Itachi was wearing a fire cloud cloak. In front of him, Naruto held a Kunai, his shoulder bleeding incessantly.
He gritted his teeth, feeling a bit aggrieved as well. "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me too?"
"You don't need to know."
Itachi looked up slightly. "Dead men have no need for names!"
"Damn it! You guys... every single one of you is coming to kill me!"
The rage in Naruto's heart surged outward uncontrollably.
Inside his body—
The Tailed Beast Chakra was surging and crashing against the Five Elements Seal.
"I clearly haven't done anything!"
Itachi's crimson eyes watched Naruto quietly.
This Chakra—
The Tailed Beast?
His hand reached out from his sleeve.
"Possessing special power without the ability to match it is a sin in itself."
His gaze was cold as he instantly appeared beside Naruto. "I will be very gentle, so you won't feel any pain!"
The Nine-Tailed Chakra broke through the obstacle of the Five Elements Seal, forcibly rushing out of Naruto's body and forming a thin layer of Tailed Beast Cloak around him.
Bang!
A punch smashed down, cracking the ground.
The Itachi in front of him slowly faded away. The next second, Naruto was smashed directly into a pile of leaves.
The immense force left Naruto dizzy.
He struggled to get up, but Itachi's speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he landed over a dozen hits on Naruto's stomach and other non-lethal areas.
The forcibly overflowing Tailed Beast Chakra quickly dissipated.
Bang!
After being punched into a tree again, Naruto finally couldn't hold on and collapsed unconscious.
From behind—
Swoosh!
Several Kunai were thrown at him diagonally.
Itachi turned sideways to dodge and looked toward the source of the attack.
Sasuke's face was full of rage.
Itachi turned his head toward him, his face full of indifference. "My foolish brother, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to hide? Oh, is this your classmate?"
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Sasuke's chest heaved violently, and tomoe appeared in his eyes. "I'm going to kill you!"
The next instant—
Swoosh!
He used Body Flicker to rush toward Itachi.
Itachi narrowed his eyes, a flicker of disappointment passing through them. The moment Sasuke got close, he reached out—
Hmm?
Itachi's eyes widened slightly. After observing closely, he immediately retreated.
Whoosh!
A Kunai sliced across the clothes on his chest, revealing the inner garment beneath the fire cloud cloak.
The two stood a few paces apart. Itachi lightly patted his chest.
Guiding the opponent through rhetoric and established impressions, then using an instantaneous burst of speed for an assassination—
This was Masahiko's assassination mindset!
Sasuke had improved!
Admiration was hidden in his eyes, but his tone remained cold: "Although you are still weak, at least you understand your own capacity and know that you cannot look directly at the strong."
Sasuke didn't answer. He just threw down several Smoke bombs, picked up Naruto, and fled back the way he came.
Itachi was about to give chase, but then he paused. His expression turned to surprise as he looked toward the Ninja Academy.
After only a few rounds of combat with Masahiko, the Shadow Clone was defeated?!
Fire Release: Body Flicker?
As expected of Mr. Mahiko!
After not seeing him for a while, he had mastered such a brilliant variation of the Body Flicker Technique.
Itachi's eyes showed praise and admiration, but also a hint of apology.
His thinking was correct.
With Masahiko's ability, it was impossible for him to be killed by someone like Hiruko; he might even be able to use this chance to kill Hiruko!
