Chapter 306: Might Guy: Full Focus Plus Three Gates
Chapter 224 of "Academy Teacher, I Get Stronger by Teaching": Might Guy, using Full Concentration Breathing and Three Gates, and Kakashi dash out simultaneously. Kakashi charges at Kisame, while Might Guy charges at the Mist genin.
To quickly finish the enemy, Might Guy did not test him; he went all out. In the Mist genin's eyes, every time he blinked, Might Guy appeared in a new place.
"So fast!" The Mist genin hurriedly threw several shurikens to try to block Might Guy's approach.
But he couldn't even track Might Guy's position, so how could the thrown shurikens hit him? Might Guy still maintained his extreme speed as he charged.
The Mist genin kept retreating, seemingly very afraid of Might Guy getting close. But how could his speed possibly be faster than Might Guy's? The distance between them continued to shrink.
Just as Might Guy was about to close in, the Mist genin smirked and threw a kunai with an explosive tag not far ahead of him.
Since the shurikens couldn't hit, the more powerful and widespread explosive tag should be no problem, right?
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
But the Mist genin had still underestimated Might Guy. At the moment of approach, the chakra concentrated in Might Guy's legs exploded. Using the multiple burst technique of Shunpo, Might Guy's speed surged instantly, and he appeared directly at the Mist genin's side, kicking out a whirlwind kick.
The Mist genin had just raised his hand to block when Might Guy's incredibly heavy kick sent him flying backward. Due to the angle, he was kicked precisely into the spot with the explosive-tagged kunai.
Boom!
An explosion sounded. The Mist genin, caught in the blast at close range, lost consciousness.
Seeing that the Mist genin's life or death was unknown, Might Guy immediately rushed towards Kisame, who was fighting Kakashi.
"That fast?" Kisame, noticing Might Guy's movements, subconsciously looked in his direction. His originally expressionless face turned somewhat grim.
Kisame's attacks instantly became more aggressive, even willing to trade a wound to injure Kakashi.
Guessing Kisame's intention, Kakashi immediately switched from offense to defense. Now it was Kisame who should be worried.
The distance between them was not very far, and with Might Guy's speed, he arrived quickly.
After Might Guy arrived, Kisame immediately dared not be aggressive. Facing two enemies whose strength was not weak, being aggressive would not be confidence but a death wish.
"Huff, huff." Taking advantage of the moment Might Guy was engaging Kisame, Kakashi took a heavy breath.
First he had knocked down Zabuza, rendering him unable to resist, then he had faced the siege of two Mist nins alone, one of whom was quite strong. His stamina was truly almost depleted, and his lower body was extremely fatigued.
"Guy, I'll leave this guy to you for now." Kakashi decided to rest for five minutes. If Might Guy didn't finish Kisame within five minutes, he would join him to finish Kisame off.
He was too tired. Being in poor condition might give Kisame an opportunity to exploit, thus holding Might Guy back.
Moreover, Kakashi was genuinely worried that other teams might come. Taking this time to recover some stamina would allow him to respond to unexpected events, since the current situation was almost a guaranteed victory.
"Kakashi, just rest assured! I'll take down this guy!" Might Guy shouted.
Seeing that Kakashi seemed to have truly withdrawn from the fight, Kisame immediately poured all his strength into his fist and punched at Might Guy.
Not to be outdone, Might Guy threw a straight punch to clash with Kisame's.
Bang!
A dull impact sound rang out. Both Kisame and Might Guy retreated two steps.
Might Guy's expression as he looked at Kisame was somewhat surprised. This was him using Full Concentration Breathing plus the strength of two Gates of the Eight Gates. This shark-face was actually able to match him in strength.
And Hoshigaki Kisame was also very surprised. Aside from Rin Nohara's seemingly abnormal strength, this was the first time he had seen strength equal to his own in someone younger than him.
"You're a formidable enemy. You're worth me opening the Third Gate, the Gate of Life, open!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Might Guy opened the Third Gate of the Eight Gates, and his chakra surged greatly.
"Leaf Hard Whirlwind!"
Might Guy poured most of his strength into his leg. The vast chakra provided by the Third Gate exploded, increasing his body's power and speed once again, and he kicked at Kisame at extreme speed.
Seeing Might Guy's aura rise again, Kisame's expression grew heavier and heavier. He gathered all his strength in his arms, trying to block Might Guy's Whirlwind Kick.
But how could Might Guy's kick, enhanced by the Third Gate plus Full Concentration Breathing, be easily blocked?
Boom!
Kisame barely blocked for two seconds before he was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
One after another, large trees were smashed and broken by the flying Kisame, causing him further damage.
Even the physically robust Kisame couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of fresh blood under such a heavy blow, and Might Guy's arm used to block was trembling incessantly.
"What's with this green spandex? How can his taijutsu be this strong?" Kisame deeply remembered the kick Might Guy had landed on him.
Although it was related to his declining condition after a long fight, he felt that even at his peak, it would be very difficult to block that kick with pure taijutsu.
"Water Style: Great Water Explosion Wave!"
After landing, Kisame quickly got up, formed hand seals, and gathered a large amount of chakra to perform his ninjutsu.
Kisame wouldn't casually use this technique now, because it consumed too much chakra; he couldn't afford it.
But the current situation left no room for him to think about conserving chakra.
With Kisame not caring about chakra consumption, he spat out a tidal wave of chakra, turning the surroundings into a world of water, and an enormous elliptical water prison was forming.
"Fighting in the water, huh. Then I'll have to settle it in one go." Might Guy did not stop his pace; instead, he took a deep breath and then burst with all his power, charging into that elliptical water prison over eight meters tall.
As a normal human, Might Guy couldn't breathe underwater, so he couldn't use his Breathing Technique inside.
So Might Guy prepared to use all his power to take out Kisame in one blow, thus eliminating the problem of not being able to use his Breathing Technique in the water.
Might Guy pushed his Rock Breathing to the extreme, unleashing all the massive chakra provided by the Eight Gates. At this moment, his power had reached a peak, stronger than any previous version of himself.
Perhaps because his power was too great, the moment Might Guy burst into the water sphere, a gap actually appeared in the water, allowing him to maintain the power of his Breathing Technique for a few more seconds.
Kisame formed hand seals and used a Water Style ninjutsu to control the water currents, forming a water dragon that attacked Might Guy.
"Noon Leopard!"
Might Guy's eyes widened as he glared at Kisame, and the terrifying power he had gathered poured out all at once. The force was so great that the water around his feet automatically pressed to both sides, allowing Might Guy to run as if on land, and he kicked out his strongest kick towards Kisame.
Boom rumble!!
The water dragon Kisame had formed was instantly shattered by Might Guy's kick, and the water currents inside the sphere became turbulent.
"Impossible! To be able to use such taijutsu even underwater!" Kisame looked at Might Guy in shock, his worldview completely overturned.
At this point, Might Guy was already very close to Kisame. Although Kisame could move freely in the water, his speed had decreased due to his previous injuries, and he was powerless to dodge Might Guy's full-power strike.
Rumble!
Splash!
A huge explosion sounded, and Kisame was kicked straight out of the water sphere. Without Kisame's chakra to maintain it, combined with Might Guy's powerful kick, the water sphere shattered, sending large amounts of water surging in all directions.
"Guy has gotten stronger." Kakashi watched this scene with some emotion in his heart.
He had worked hard to catch up to Might Guy and the others, but he felt the gap had only widened.
"Was this how Guy felt back then?" Kakashi thought to himself.
He had only been chasing after Might Guy for a few months, while Guy had been chasing after him for over three years before.
This feeling was unpleasant, but Kakashi still prepared to muster his courage and strive to catch up. A person must always take responsibility for their actions. He had given up on himself for a time, and now he needed to make up for that lost training.
"You've got to be kidding me. Even that monster Kisame Hoshigaki was defeated, and by a spandex-wearing ninja who looks younger than him." Kurosawa looked on in disbelief.
In terms of age and seniority, Kurosawa was much higher than Kisame. The reason senior Kurosawa was willing to listen to Kisame was that he had been convinced by Kisame's strength. Kurosawa felt that even if three of him attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Kisame.
And now, the monster he thought insurmountable had been defeated. The victor was merely a young genin in the Chunin Exam. He found it hard to accept this outcome.
"What the hell? There's an examinee this strong?" Mei Terumi, who was handling a two-on-one fight with ease, was startled by the power of Might Guy's full-strength kick.
"I hope he only knows Fire Style ninjutsu. Please, let him not know Wind Style and Earth Style," Mei Terumi prayed in her heart.
If Might Guy only mastered Fire Style, then Mei Terumi still thought she had a fighting chance. She was very skilled at dealing with fire-style ninjas and taijutsu specialists.
If not, Mei Terumi felt her chances of becoming first in the Chunin Exam were in jeopardy.
Originally, Mei Terumi thought Kisame was her biggest rival for the championship, but now she gave that position to Might Guy.
"Nice one, Guy!" Obito couldn't help but pump his fist in celebration.
The intensity of this battle reminded Obito of the time before when the three of them teamed up against a Jonin from Kumogakure.
Although this time there wasn't a single overwhelmingly powerful enemy, there were two groups of enemies, and their overall strength was much greater.
"If you're going to gang up on my best friend, you need to ask if I agree." Might Guy stood by the prone Kisame Hoshigaki and looked down as he spoke.
At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki was truly miserable, with multiple bone fractures all over his body; moving even a little was extremely painful.
"What is your name?" Kisame Hoshigaki coughed up a couple of mouthfuls of blood and asked.
"Might Guy, a man who will become the strongest in taijutsu!" Might Guy answered Kisame Hoshigaki's question cheerfully, giving himself a thumbs-up.
"I'll remember your name. If I can survive until the next round, I will face you at full strength to decide the winner." Kisame stared at Might Guy and said.
Kisame was a bit unwilling. Before fighting Might Guy, he had already been through multiple battles. If not for the previous exhaustion, he would definitely have been able to use a larger water sphere and deliver a stronger attack inside it.
"Hahaha, you want to challenge me? I accept!" Might Guy replied with a loud laugh.
He had immense confidence in himself. Even if it happened again, even if Kisame were at full strength, the victor would be him alone.
"This is bad." Kisame completely collapsed. Mei Terumi instantly felt immense pressure, because Kirigakure now only had her as an obviously powerful ninja left. She could feel that all those Konoha ninja were looking at her.
