Chapter 1010: 'Strongest Taijutsu' Evaluation!
Chapter 1010: 'Strongest Taijutsu' Evaluation!
Boom!
A violent gust of wind swept across the surrounding land, akin to a natural disaster.
The second strike of Hao Tian Quan shattered the shadow created by the Rinnegan, as if it were crushing it into dust.
How terrifying!
Even though he couldn't see, Yamanaka could sense that his punch seemed to shatter something.
This was intentional, as he was also testing the opponent's intelligence.
There were numerous ways to avoid the opponent's attacks and target Madara's main body, so there was no need for a direct confrontation.
The power of the second strike alone was comparable to Shi Dan Xiao Xiang.
Too powerful!
After Tang Ping's modifications and refinement, the Taijutsu used by Yamanaka was undeniably more powerful than ever before.
Fortunately, the force was concentrated, otherwise, the surrounding land would have been torn apart by the aftermath, and the destruction would have been far greater.
Indeed, compared to Ninjutsu, Taijutsu seemed to be on a different level in terms of destructive power, solely due to the highly concentrated force, not because it was inherently weaker.
With a single strike, he shattered the void!
At this moment, Yamanaka felt a sense of accomplishment.
After all, in his current Closed Door State, he could match the Six Paths level solely through Taijutsu, except for his specialization and numerous shortcomings.
"Third punch!"
"Fourth punch!"
"Fifth punch!"
Yamanaka landed several consecutive punches, each capable of piercing the atmosphere and shattering the void.
Both the shadows created by Rinnekyou and the Sonneityama were blasted apart.
The highly compressed air in front of his fist maintained a distance between his fist and the target, eliminating any concerns about being swallowed or experiencing backlash.
This was the most crucial factor!
Without this, a direct punch to the Sonneityama would have shattered it, but his fist would have been destroyed as well.
Just like Otsutsuki's Dust Style, if you punch it head-on, it's like multiplying the impact a hundredfold when hitting the Sonneityama.
It was genuinely terrifying!
However, with a layer of air enveloping his fist, Yamanaka's punch became invincible, unafraid of any backlash or destruction.
After several consecutive punches, Madara was left stunned.
He had never imagined that Yamanaka's attacks would be so formidable, even breaking through his defenses.
The concentrated power, driven by the surging Chakra, increased exponentially.
When attacking, there was even a sensation of space rippling like water waves.
This was not an illusion.
The force was so immense that it could shatter even space itself.
Just like in the original plot, Captain Marvelous' final strike, Yoru no Kakashi, also distorted space.
As long as the power reached a certain level, it could warp space.
However, Captain Marvelous could only achieve this with his final attack, whereas Yamanaka's Hao Tian Quan, refined to perfection based on Shi Dan Xiao Xiang, demonstrated this power with just five punches.
"Sixth punch!"
Yamanaka's Powered Armor showed signs of cracking, as if it might collapse at any moment.
In reality, without the Powered Armor, his physical body would have already given out.
Even with determination not weaker than Captain Marvelous and a stronger physique, the pressure of executing Hao Tian Quan was immense, making it far from easy.
Moreover, the fifth punch's power was already on par with Yoru no Kakashi, so he dared not imagine the intensity of the sixth punch.
In the original plot, Madara had been attacking without restraint from start to finish.
Even Captain Marvelous' final strike, at most, would have been blocked by the Six Paths Staff, and Madara never considered using the Sonneityama for defense.
Although the Sonneityama was taken away by the Fourth Hokage using the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was true that Madara didn't care about defense.
He had ways to retrieve the Sonneityama, so he allowed himself to be attacked without resistance.
Now, facing Yamanaka, Madara showed no signs of holding back.
Although he also enjoyed the thrill of danger, the defense provided by the Sonneityama and Rinnekyou was used without hesitation, proving that Yamanaka posed a greater threat than Captain Marvelous in Madara's mind.
If Yamanaka were as powerful as Captain Marvelous, Madara wouldn't have been so cautious in his defense.
Boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, Madara's body flew like a broken kite.
Whoosh!
Yamanaka vanished from his original position and reappeared behind Madara, who was being knocked away.
Even as the opponent was in flight, Yamanaka Houji, with his terrifying speed that surpassed the speed of sound, managed to reach the opponent's side and deliver a punch before they landed.
"The seventh punch!"
Hum! A layer of white light flashed on his fist, as if it could pierce through space.
Boom! Amidst the deafening roar, Madara took a 'Rising Dragon Fist' from below, sending his entire body soaring into the sky like a cannonball.
Under this attack, his body stiffened.
Whoosh! Yamanaka Houji appeared in the sky hundreds of meters high.
His speed was much faster than that of Madara, who had been knocked away by his own punch, allowing him to gather strength in advance.
His right fist, dragging the stars, unleashed a full-force punch towards Madara, who was flying from below.
Boom! A sonic boom cloud layer rapidly expanded, sweeping away everything in its path.
Madara, who had just flown into the sky, fell back to the ground at an even faster speed, shattering the area around his landing point.
Each of Yamanaka Houji's strikes was like a natural disaster, demonstrating the sheer terror of the Eight Gates.
However, the prerequisite for using the Eight Gates is having a strong foundation. Otherwise, even if one opens the Eight Gates, they can only watch from the sidelines like Lee.
Lee, despite his strength and Jonin level, and his continuous physical training, could only reach the Ultra-Kage level, not even the peak, if he were to open the Death Gate.
This shows that the gap between individuals is indeed greater than that between humans and dogs.
The thunderous punch that resembled a natural disaster also made all ninjas reevaluate the fearsome power of Taijutsu.
Especially when compared to the previous scene where the Allied Shinobi Forces' strong ninjas besieged Madara, and none of their attacks inflicted any damage, the current scene of Madara being beaten like a child made everyone truly understand the meaning of 'strong'.
Yamanaka Houji!
This name would echo throughout the Ninja World after today.
Even before, this name had already gained considerable fame, thanks to the title 'Rage of the Storm'.
Of course, private evaluations like 'Dojin's Loyal Dog' were not to be considered.
But from this day forward, all opinions would only be of awe and admiration.
With the body of a Taijutsu ninja, he achieved a glorious record.
Smash Six Paths Madara!
This feat alone was sufficient to prove the sheer terror of his Taijutsu.
It can be said that facing such a legendary figure in the Ninja World, even a slightly better performance could easily earn one fame and honor.
On the ground.
Cough!
Madara, whose chest was almost punched through by the previous strike, struggled to crawl out of the ruins.
His body was visibly recovering at an observable rate.
If it weren't for his promotion to the Six Paths level and the Grudge Orb he had just formed, adding three layers of defense, this strike might have done more than just piercing his chest; it could have shattered his entire body.
Indeed, the Grudge Orb could be reformed by consuming a massive amount of chakra after being shattered.
This is a sign of the Six Paths level.
If it were Hyuga Aikotsuki, her Byakugan could form the Grudge Orb, but she couldn't do it herself, and it was extremely inconvenient to use.
But Madara was a genuine 'Six Paths' level.
Regardless of whether he took advantage of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's power, the fact remains.
Therefore, forming the Grudge Orb was almost instinctive for Madara.
Looking at his injuries, Madara raised his head to the sky, bathed in moonlight, his entire body enveloped in crimson chakra, and a divine shadow seemed to speak.
"I must admit!"
"You are the strongest Taijutsu user I've ever seen, and I acknowledge your Taijutsu!"
"I, Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest!"
...
Even though Madara looked disheveled at this moment, his eyes shone brighter, and he couldn't help but exclaim and praise.
Moreover, he felt a deathly aura enveloping him.
The next strike would undoubtedly be a threat.
Countless people focused their attention, keeping their distance as much as possible.
When gods fight, mortals suffer! If you don't want to be caught in the aftermath, it's best to stay away.
