Chapter 80

He pondered as he spoke:

"To be honest, the difficulty of completely controlling the chakra erupting from the Eight Inner Gates is too great!"

"And compared to the physical capabilities gained in the Eight Inner Gates state, the attack power of this chakra is still somewhat insufficient!"

"But if one could converge this chakra onto the fist..."

"No, it doesn't have to be the Eight Inner Gates!"

"What do Itachi think would happen if Itachi condensed chakra sufficient to form a Tailed Beast Bomb into your fist using the Strength of a Hundred technique and blasted it out?"

Hiss!!!

Hiashi Hyuga and Might Guy gasped upon hearing this.

The explosion of a Tailed Beast Bomb itself is a terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and breaking cliffs.

If this terrifying energy of the explosion were converged within the range of a fist, the resulting destructive power would simply break through the heavens.

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts and goosebumps all over their bodies just thinking about it.

Shi Yuan’s eyes, however, were terrifyingly bright.

[Through your exchange with Hiashi Hyuga and Might Guy, Itachi have gained new insights into taijutsu; Itachi have had an epiphany.]

[Itachi have created the secret technique: White Strike · One Bone.]

[White Strike · One Bone: Uses the technique of Strength of a Hundred to condense a quantity of chakra at or above the Tailed Beast Bomb level onto the fist, then blasts it out; the attack power is incomparably strong, enough to destroy mountains and break cliffs!]

Shi Yuan digested the information in his mind, his gaze flickering slightly.

This move was extremely similar to the technique used by the Captain-Commander in Bleach to attack Wonderweiss, One Bone!

Not only did it shatter Wonderweiss’s body with just a fist, but the terrifying aftermath also destroyed a large number of high-rise buildings.

The strength of its power is evident!

I wonder how much chakra I need to condense to reach this level of power?

This thought flashed through Shi Yuan’s mind, and he couldn't help but start trying to condense chakra.

Hum—

The fluctuation of chakra could not be concealed.

Especially with Hiashi Hyuga, who had his Byakugan active, present.

"What’s wrong?"

Might Guy couldn't help but ask when he saw his expression change.

"Shi Yuan is condensing chakra, the amount of chakra... is massive. He is a bit dangerous right now, stay away from him."

Hiashi Hyuga’s expression was grave; he walked to Might Guy’s side, pulled him up, and retreated backward.

At the same time, his gaze remained fixed on Shi Yuan, his expression extremely solemn.

"Just how much chakra does this guy have? This has already exceeded the chakra consumption of a large-scale ultimate ninjutsu!"

"If this continues, his body will definitely not be able to withstand it!"

Shi Yuan, however, paid no attention, instead using his near-perfect chakra control to continuously compress the chakra and condense it onto his fist!

The amount of chakra grew larger and larger: onefold, twofold, threefold... tenfold!

"This... this is already comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb condensed by some Tailed Beasts!"

"With such a massive amount of chakra condensed onto his fist, his fist has not suffered the slightest damage. What exactly is going on with this guy’s body?!"

Hiashi Hyuga looked at Shi Yuan in horror, his hair standing on end.

He could not imagine what kind of body could maintain the compression and control of such a magnitude of chakra.

It was fundamentally impossible for a human to reach this level!

Boom!

A massive, awe-inspiring aura suddenly erupted from Shi Yuan’s body.

Hiashi Hyuga’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Don't launch the attack here, there are still many people around."

Shi Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Where is he?"

Might Guy looked for Shi Yuan’s figure in astonishment.

Hiashi Hyuga hurriedly used his Byakugan to search for Shi Yuan; his field of vision stretched and shifted until he finally found him on a small mountain at the edge of Konoha.

"Over there! On the mountain!"

At this moment, the Third Hokage and the heads of the various clans had already rushed over.

Hearing Hiashi Hyuga’s words, they all instinctively looked up toward that location.

They saw Shi Yuan dive down from the air and throw a plain, unremarkable punch at the rock face of the mountain peak.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out.

A massive air ring erupted from Shi Yuan’s fist, spreading out in the air like ripples.

A hemispherical section of the rock face with a diameter of five or six meters instantly vanished!

A large number of cracks spread toward the entire mountain peak!

Terrifying fissures ran through the entire peak from top to bottom, making it look as if the mountain had cracked open!

Rumble!!!

A violently roaring sound erupted.

Immediately afterward, the earth shook wildly; the ground trembled and the mountains swayed.

In the Third Hokage’s horrified gaze, the entire mountain peak shattered!

It turned into countless fragments of rock, which, under the impact of the terrifying shockwave, came crashing down to the ground in the distance!

A single punch shattered a mountain!

Everyone was so shocked they lost the ability to speak.

Ninjutsu of this magnitude is rare even within the entire ninja world.

One could even say that, aside from a Tailed Beast Bomb, there is no ninjutsu capable of smashing a mountain into such fine dust!

The Third Hokage and the others looked up at Shi Yuan, their eyes filled with fervor!

Having just met Kakashi, they naturally knew that Shi Yuan was improving taijutsu!

If mere taijutsu could unleash such power!

Then what about their clan secret techniques or forbidden arts?!

Whether to keep secrets or trade with Shi Yuan—the scales in their hearts had already tipped toward a decision!

Just then.

Bang, bang, bang!

Muffled sounds exploded from the air.

The Third Hokage and the others stared, dumbfounded, as Shi Yuan actually ‘walked’ in the air!

Layers of air rings exploded beneath his feet, like invisible stairs!

As his footsteps descended lower and lower!

That figure, as if stepping out of a legend, finally descended to the ground.

Gulp!

Someone swallowed, the faint sound appearing incredibly loud.

Only then did everyone realize the surroundings had become so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.

It wasn’t just the Third Hokage and the others; countless people throughout the Hidden Leaf Village had witnessed this scene!

BOOM!!

The clamor, the screams, the roars... shot straight into the sky!

The entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted; countless people rushed toward this side, their expressions fanatical, as if crazed.

The Third Hokage and the others were jolted awake and hurriedly issued orders to stop the crowd.

Then, they looked at Shi Yuan with burning eyes.

The Third Hokage stepped forward, his voice somewhat urgent, "What was that move just now?"

"Taijutsu: One Bone!"

Shi Yuan let out a breath, his face full of smiles.
