Chapter 111: One Against Four
Chapter 111: One Against Four
As the dust settled, a visually stunning and unimaginable scene unfolded before the eyes of everyone present.
A majestic and colossal Wooden Dragon, hundreds of times larger than a normal person, was being restrained by a minuscule palm that belonged to none other than Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's casual demeanor made it seem as if he were the one who had increased in size, rather than the dragon.
Roar~
The Wooden Dragon struggled desperately, its tail carving deep furrows into the ground.
But to no avail.
Yuyi Xuan Yue forcefully pushed down with his right hand, the one restraining the dragon's head.
"Be still."
Boom!
With a mournful cry, the dragon's head sank into the ground.
Swish!
A piercing sound tore through the air as Yuyi Xuan Yue leaped off the dragon's head. Might Guy threw a punch at Yuyi Xuan Yue, a look of surprise on his face.
"Xuan Yue, you've gotten much stronger than I remember."
Yuyi Xuan Yue nonchalantly tossed the Wooden Dragon aside and stood his ground against Might Guy's attack, choosing to meet force with force. "Time is always on my side."
Fist against fist.
Power against power.
A loud bang reverberated.
Yuyi Xuan Yue stood firm, unmoved, while Might Guy was forced back five or six steps.
"Without the empowerment of a Sage Body, even with the best sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation, you can't unleash the full power of Might Guy. Not to mention this isn't even an Impure World body, just a boost of vitality gifted by Death before he left."
Having gauged Might Guy's strength with that single blow, Yuyi Xuan Yue took a large step forward and, in an instant, appeared before Might Guy, delivering another powerful punch.
Although Might Guy found himself at a disadvantage in terms of strength, he remained unflustered and swiftly adjusted his combat style, engaging Yuyi Xuan Yue with a calm demeanor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of muffled thunder reverberated across the desolate land, creating a deafening din.
Despite their diminutive size compared to the Wooden Dragon, Yuyi Xuan Yue and Might Guy resembled true giants in this moment.
Their clash was not only loud but also created shockwaves that ravaged the land beneath their feet, leaving deep craters and chaos in their wake.
Yuyi Xuan Yue relished the battle against Might Guy.
However, he hadn't forgotten that this was not a simple sparring match, and there were three other formidable opponents waiting on the sidelines.
Soon enough, as Yuyi Xuan Yue dodged one of Might Guy's whipping leg attacks, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Kongou Nyoi (Adamant Staff) shot out, extending at high speed, aiming to strike Yuyi Xuan Yue as he stabilized his stance.
Having anticipated this, Yuyi Xuan Yue twisted his body, extending his right hand to grab the passing staff. With a forceful flick of his wrist, he sent Hiruzen Sarutobi, staff and all, flying.
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to be flung away, a furry monkey's hand shot out from the staff, grabbing Yuyi Xuan Yue's shoulder and attempting to pull him along as well.
Yuyi Xuan Yue managed to break free, but he was still lifted off the ground slightly.
Boom!
Seizing the opportunity, Might Guy's figure flashed, and he threw a powerful punch infused with monstrous strength.
Without his feet firmly planted, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't dare to take the blow head-on. He blocked with his palm, and his body shot backward like an arrow loosed from its string.
Screech~
As Yuyi Xuan Yue continued to retreat, his feet dragged along the ground, carving long furrows. Just as he was about to stabilize himself, several shuriken came flying at him.
"Is it Minato Namikaze or Tobirama Senju?"
"Boil Release: Clever Mist Technique!"
Yuyi Xuan Yue opened his mouth and quickly spat out the technique in all directions.
Extremely hot mist with strong melting capabilities instantly enveloped the surrounding area, protecting him while also melting away all the incoming Fuma Shuriken.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"
Pursuing closely, Senju Hashirama witnessed this and clapped his hands, causing numerous trees to shoot up from the ground within the range of the mist technique. The trees continuously fought against the white mist, with the mist gradually dissipating as the trees flourished.
Having no interest in prolonging the engagement with the Nativity of a World of Trees, Yuyi Xuan Yue flashed to the side, leaving the range of the technique.
Just as he was about to cut down the last tree branch, another Fuma Shuriken, hidden behind the branch and outside of his field of vision, shot towards him at incredible speed.
It was too close, and Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't have time for anything else as he came to an abrupt stop.
Whoosh.
In an instant, Namikaze Minato appeared next to the Fuma Shuriken, his hand holding a regular shuriken coated in rapidly spinning Water Release chakra, aiming to strike the nearby Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Yuyi Xuan Yue coldly huffed, and his right hand, shimmering with the color of steel, shot forward to grab his opponent.
He missed!
It was another Flying Thunder God shuriken.
Namikaze Minato flashed again, appearing for the second time next to the Fuma Shuriken.
However, this time, the Fuma Shuriken had already flown behind Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Flying Thunder God, second stage!
Everything was going according to plan for Namikaze Minato as he bared his fangs. With one hand, he stabbed towards Yuyi Xuan Yue's back, while the other hand threw the Sword of Kusanagi.
Namikaze Minato instantly appeared at Yuyi Xuan Yue's side, and Tobirama Senju also appeared, their techniques aimed at Yuyi Xuan Yue's vitals.
"Not bad."
Even at this critical juncture, Yuyi Xuan Yue's expression remained calm.
Although he didn't have time to turn around, he could still flip his hands behind his back.
Pu! Pu!
Two black rods instantly shot out from Yuyi Xuan Yue's palms, striking the incoming techniques first.
In the next moment, sensing that their techniques were unstable, and feeling the disruptive effect of the black rods on their chakra, Namikaze Minato and Tobirama Senju had to divert their attention to stabilize their techniques.
But it was only for an instant.
Seizing the opportunity, Yuyi Xuan Yue swiftly turned around, clasped his hands, and grabbed Namikaze Minato and Tobirama Senju's wrists, forcibly pushing them back towards the approaching Senju Hashirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Senju Hashirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just caught their comrades, were still unsteady on their feet.
Without pausing, Yuyi Xuan Yue continued his relentless assault.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The intense battle raged on.
Yuyi Xuan Yue stood against the four Kage, not only holding his ground but also taking the initiative to launch relentless attacks.
He deflected Senju Hashirama's fist with a palm strike and forced Sarutobi Hiruzen, agile as a monkey with his Kongou Nyoi, to retreat with a punch. Yuyi Xuan Yue was about to press his advantage when two Fuma Shuriken once again flew towards him, forcing him to divert some of his attention.
Although the four Kage were not in their prime, and Senju Hashirama, once the most powerful of them, could not perform techniques as extraordinary as the True Thousand Hands, the extremely agile Fuma Shuriken were still a significant nuisance.
Especially since he was facing the only two people in the ninja world who possessed the Flying Thunder God technique.
