Chapter 721

BOOM!!

The instant Might Guy entered the Eight Gates Formation, chakra surged endlessly from within his body, and the ground, unable to withstand the terrifying power unleashed in that moment, cracked apart at tremendous speed.

At the same time, a blood-red steam gradually appeared around Might Guy, and his aura soared rapidly.

"Little Guy…"

Adult Kakashi stared at Might Guy in shock.

That red steam was undoubtedly the final Gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death!

He didn't understand the effect of Shisui's dojutsu, so for a moment he couldn't figure out why Might Guy had suddenly opened the Gate of Death, which would surely lead to death.

"His youth has reached its peak!"

Adult Might Guy said in reverence.

If his body hadn't fully recovered yet, even if he wouldn't open the Gate of Death for strategic reasons, he would have opened at least the Seventh Gate to fight alongside Might Guy.

The Eight Gates place tremendous strain on the body; even someone as physically strong as him would need to rest for a while after fighting with the Seventh Gate before recovering his combat ability.

"Guy-sensei can actually open the Gate of Death now!"

Rock Lee clenched his fists and widened his eyes, in awe of Might Guy's overwhelming power and his calm acceptance of death.

Huff!

In shock, Rock Lee instinctively opened the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates.

Although the Sixth Gate was insignificant compared to Guy's Eighth Gate, it was already his strongest state.

He hoped that with the Sixth Gate open, he could be of some help to Might Guy.

"The Eight Gates Formation… that's an opportunity."

Tobirama Senju nodded inwardly, staring intently at Six Paths Obito, a Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand, ready to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to assist at any moment.

He knew exactly how terrifying an enhancement the user would gain upon opening all Eight Gates.

"The dead last from another world? His chakra is decent, but his life force is like a candle flickering in the wind. Not worth fearing."

Six Paths Obito saw the chakra inside Might Guy but didn't pay much attention, still focusing mainly on Obito.

Obito's chakra wasn't as strong as Might Guy's or Naruto's, but in terms of how troublesome he was, he ranked first.

As for Might Guy who had opened the Eight Gates, there was no need for him to act; if he just defended for a while, Guy would die on his own.

"Let's go. Let that 'bastard Obito' know the power that comrades can unleash together."

Kakashi inside the consciousness space saw this and quickly commanded.

Obito nodded without speaking, and simply formed a blue-flame Rasengan as he charged toward Six Paths Obito.

Whoosh!!

Six Paths Obito waved his hand, and four Truth-Seeking Balls shot toward Obito from different directions.

Boom!

The Truth-Seeking Balls passed through Obito's body and smashed a huge crater into the ground.

Might Guy suddenly leaped up, his entire body's chakra erupting, and his whole body was covered in pitch-black Armament Haki.

"Evening Elephant: First Foot!"

Might Guy rapidly punched out with his jet-black fist.

Whoosh!!

Because the power was so terrifying, the gale from his fist as it was thrown was strong enough to blow away trees.

BOOM!!

Under Guy's strike, the air around him was instantly compressed into a single point, then exploded at once, forming a giant elephant-foot air cannon that shot straight at Six Paths Obito.

Six Paths Obito didn't even look; he simply used the Truth-Seeking Balls to form a sphere that enveloped his entire body.

KaBOOM!!

Truth-Seeking Ball was unharmed, but the power that leaked out caused the ground near the Truth-Seeking Ball to crack.

"Second Stance!"

Might Guy did not stop. With speed that even the Mangekyō Sharingan could not track, he flashed to another position and punched out again.

He truly couldn't deal with the Truth-Seeking Ball, but his teammates could.

"Kamui!"

Obito's ocular chakra burst forth as he glared at the Truth-Seeking Ball.

In an instant, space twisted and the black sphere on Might Guy's side vanished.

However, unexpectedly, inside the black sphere there was still a black shield formed from a Truth-Seeking Ball that blocked the attack.

Having used Kamui for so many years, Six Paths Obito naturally could not have failed to anticipate that Obito would use Kamui to counter the Truth-Seeking Ball. He had long prepared a countermeasure.

If Obito used Kamui to attack the edge of the Truth-Seeking Ball, he would use other Truth-Seeking Balls to supplement the defense; if he attacked the center directly, he would dodge.

"Third Stance!"

The attack still had no effect, but Might Guy remained expressionless as he threw the third punch.

Once Evening Elephant is used, it's hard to stop because stopping would require stacking speed again from the beginning.

But the intense pain from his body made Might Guy realize one thing: his time was precious, and he must not waste any of it.

His will allowed him to endure this agony, but his body could not bear it.

In the time it took to throw just three punches, he could already feel bones breaking inside his body.

The power from opening all Eight Gates was too strong; his body could not withstand such terrifying power.

"Fourth Stance!"

Because the speed was too fast, Obito did not have time to use Kamui a second time before Might Guy's Fourth Stance struck.

By the fourth stance, Might Guy's speed had reached an extremely terrifying level, yet he still could not break the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Tobirama Senju appeared above Six Paths Obito, bringing Naruto and Minato Namikaze with him.

He had been observing the battlefield, looking for the best time to enter.

"Sage Art: Wind Release: Massive Rasenshuriken!"

Both Naruto and Minato Namikaze entered Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.

Minato Namikaze supplied chakra to enhance the technique's power, while Naruto performed nature transformation and added natural energy to turn it into Sage Art Wind Release.

Bang!

The giant Sage Art Rasenshuriken slammed into the black Truth-Seeking Ball, instantly covering the black sphere in cracks and shattering it.

Tobirama Senju did not rejoice at destroying the Truth-Seeking Ball; his expression remained serious.

Beneath the black sphere, there was still a shield transformed from a Truth-Seeking Ball.

"Kamui!"

A twisting vortex appeared around the shield, destroying the black shield.

Tobirama Senju's lips curled up and he nodded in satisfaction.

Although he was an Uchiha, he could coordinate like this without much communication; truly worthy of the Uchiha he had his eye on.

"Fifth Stance!"

Might Guy dashed forward at extreme speed and threw the final punch of Evening Elephant.

"Damn, he's this fast!"

Six Paths Obito's expression turned ugly. He wanted to dodge but found he couldn't at all.

He could dodge Kamui, but facing Might Guy's peak speed with the Eight Gates, he was willing but unable, and could only take Might Guy's punch head-on.

Crack!

Six Paths Obito crashed into the shield on the other side, and the immense force directly shattered the shield formed by the Truth-Seeking Balls.

Under the effect of this force, Six Paths Obito carved a trench into the ground and only stopped after crashing into the Divine Tree.

When he stood up, Six Paths Obito couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his expression extremely gloomy.

As a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, his vitality was strong, so his injuries weren't too severe—he was just in a bad mood.

A person he had ignored had actually made him so miserable.

Thinking carefully, the first time he participated in the Chunin Exam and failed to become a chunin was because he was defeated by Might Guy.

"For me, who has become the second Sage of Six Paths, everything in the past is meaningless. No one can defeat me!"

Six Paths Obito gripped his black staff tightly and suppressed the distracting thoughts that suddenly arose in his heart.

"As expected, practical combat is necessary. Guy's and 'bastard Obito's' abilities are not quite what I predicted."

Kakashi said with a frown.

Might Guy's strength after opening the Gate of Death was stronger than he expected, but Six Paths Obito's physical defense was also stronger than he expected.

Even though the Truth-Seeking Balls shattered, Six Paths Obito only spat out blood.

If that had hit Kakatu, and if Kakatu didn't use Kamui or Unlimited Defense, he would probably have turned into a pile of Kakatu bits.

"Even the Eight Gates Released Formation isn't working? Can we only stall for time and wait for that ninja named Muyue to arrive?"

Tobirama Senju frowned deeply.

Obito and the others said Muyue was strong; naturally, Tobirama Senju believed them.

But to say Muyue was stronger than Six Paths Obito, he really didn't believe it. He thought it might be that Obito and the others trusted Muyue too much, leading them to that judgment.

Tobirama Senju believed the pinnacle of ninja was his older brother Hashirama Senju. Someone like Six Paths Obito only had such power by borrowing the external force of the Ten-Tails.

"Truly astonishing! He can even withstand the Fifth Step. But it's precisely an opponent like this that is worthy of the Eight Gates Formation!"

Seeing Six Paths Obito quickly stand up, Might Guy did not panic, and his aura vaguely grew stronger.

He still had one move he hadn't used. That move was his true killing technique, far stronger than Evening Elephant. It was the culmination of more than ten years of learning taijutsu from Muyue.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!!

Might Guy burned his life force with all his might. The blood energy on his body grew denser and denser. Bathed in dazzling red light, he was like a red sun in the night.

Roar!

An enormous amount of chakra continuously surged out from within Might Guy's body to strengthen it. Because it far exceeded his body's capacity, his body turned bright red. Soon, his skin uncontrollably split open, revealing the already necrotizing flesh inside.

He ignored the intense pain from his body, continuing to burn life force and use chakra to strengthen himself. In his mind, he continuously recalled all the taijutsu that Muyue had taught him up to now.

From the most basic spinning kick "Leaf Whirlwind" to advanced taijutsu like "Leaf Hand Blade", and finally the ultimate-level taijutsu "Golden Horizon".

Might Guy extended his index and middle fingers, bringing them together. He spread his legs slightly, turned his body a little to the right, and placed his right arm behind his waist.

Roar!

The blood energy and chakra on Might Guy simultaneously reached their peak. A blood-colored dragon head formed from a mixture of blood energy and chakra manifested on him, emitting a roar that shook the entire battlefield.

Rumble! Rumble!

The ground began to tremble, cracks spreading rapidly like a spiderweb. Dust flew everywhere, and debris shot outward in all directions.

"This move, I prepared it especially for Kakashi."

The corners of Might Guy's mouth lifted slightly. Then, the power of his entire body simultaneously erupted to the limit.

"Night Guy—"

Might Guy let out a furious roar, and his entire body turned into a red light, rapidly charging at Six Paths Obito.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. Contrasted with Might Guy's extreme speed, even time felt slow.

Six Paths Obito tried to fly into the sky to dodge, but two tailed-beast-mode Nine-Tails and two Susano'o suddenly appeared in the sky, knocking him down.

"Trying to dodge? It's not that simple."

Tobirama Senju snorted.

While everyone was engaged in fierce combat, Rin Nohara quietly sent Katsuyu to the severely injured Sasuke and used medical ninjutsu to heal him.

When Six Paths Obito tried to retreat from another direction, his expression suddenly changed.

"Space... is distorted!"

Six Paths Obito stared in horror at Might Guy, who was enveloped in a dazzling red light.

This person was actually distorting space using nothing but his own physical strength and chakra!

Six Paths Obito's face darkened.

At this distance and speed, he couldn't even use Truth-Seeking Balls to attack in time—he could only raise a defense.

But he knew this wouldn't block the attack, because there were two people on the battlefield who could break through the defense of Truth-Seeking Balls.

"I'll wear you down. The final victor will be me!"

Six Paths Obito deployed a defensive barrier of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Although this couldn't stop the attack, it could drain the dojutsu power of the adult Kakashi and Obito.

Neither of them had Hashirama cells, so using Mangekyo dojutsu would place a considerable burden on them.

"Kamui!"

Adult Kakashi glared at Six Paths Obito's defensive Truth-Seeking Balls, twisting an opening in them.

"Night Guy: Skyline!"

In the blink of an eye, Might Guy charged to right in front of Six Paths Obito, his right arm swinging out fiercely. A golden-red light appeared and struck Six Paths Obito's body.

Crack! Crack!

Might Guy's fingers instantly suffered comminuted fractures, and the bones in his arm were also rapidly breaking.

Boom!!

The area where Six Paths Obito was hit instantly turned into a mist of blood, and all the bones in his body suffered varying degrees of damage.

Six Paths Obito's face twisted in disbelief as he stared at Might Guy.

The damage dealt by Might Guy's Night Guy: Skyline exceeded his expectations—his Six Paths body had actually failed to withstand it!

Due to the severe injury, he felt his body slipping out of his control, as if time had returned to that day when he was crushed by a boulder.

Rumble!!

Six Paths Obito was blasted backward like a cannonball, shattering a large area of the ground and creating a massive crater around the God Tree.

Thud.

Might Guy's right arm hung limp, and then he, too, collapsed to the ground. His entire body was charred black like charcoal from the flames.

His life force had burned down to his last breath, and now he couldn't even crack a smile.

He didn't need anyone else's help—in just half a minute, the effect of Shisui's dojutsu would trigger automatically.

"Even Sage Art: Limitless probably couldn't defend against that move."

Obito drew in a sharp breath, marveling at the terrifying power of Might Guy's Eight Gates.

"Since even space was distorted, Limitless definitely wouldn't hold."

Kakashi shook his head and said.

The essence of the Limitless technique is to prevent attacks from reaching the user.

If even space itself is distorted, then the Limitless technique becomes useless. No wonder they said it was a move prepared for you.

"Check if he's dead. If there's a corpse, hit the head just to be sure."

Obito held a grudge against Six Paths Obito's taunts, so he flashed forward to finish him off.

This time, he would never give him a chance to fake his death.

"That kind of attack can't directly kill a Ten-Tails jinchuriki. Take the chance to release the Tailed Beasts from inside him!"

The Nine-Tails, who understood the Ten-Tails, also urged Naruto to go and deal with Six Paths Obito.

Killing the Ten-Tails and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is nearly impossible; one can only resort to trickery.
