Chapter 21: The Power of Martial Arts! The Terrifying Advanced Six Styles!

Chapter 21: The Power of Martial Arts! The Terrifying Advanced Six Styles!

"So these are the advanced techniques of the Six Styles of Martial Arts? They're incredibly powerful!" Naruto whispered in awe.

The might of these techniques even surpassed his own Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken jutsu.

The world's Rock Lee was indeed extraordinarily strong!

"This power is on par with an S-rank ninjutsu..." Yamato exclaimed.

"Wow, everyone here is so amazing. How are they all so strong?" Sakura marveled.

"Hahaha! It's not that impressive. If it were Guy-sensei, he would have even more advanced techniques up his sleeve," Lee said, scratching the back of his head with a joyful smile.

"It's a shame we can't showcase even more advanced martial arts techniques for you all," Guy added, looking disappointed.

"Please, spare the remedial class students," Mizukage pleaded.

"It's a shame, but that move was already impressive enough!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Now, watch the next one—'Sky Kick'! Everyone, watch closely!"

"One of the Six Styles of Martial Arts! Sky Kick!"

A ten-meter-high air blade flew out, slicing through several trees.

Then...

"One of the Six Styles of Martial Arts! Great Sky Kick!"

With a slight buildup of power, a twenty-meter-long air blade sliced horizontally, cutting a hundred trees in half at waist height!

"Dance! Sky Kick Storm!"

Dozens of air blades flew out in just a few seconds, shredding everything within the target range into pieces. The shattered earth, trees, and flying dust created a spectacular display.

Even in front of Zhu Yu, who possessed the True Qi Six Kings Linked Cannon, the Sky Kick Storm was a stunning technique.

"Yet another powerful move that rivals an S-rank ninjutsu.

Unlike the Finger Gun, this move focuses on cutting. Although it may not have the same range of damage, it's even harder to defend against.

Impressive!"

Yamato commented with the insight of a veteran shinobi.

"Hahaha! Well said, Yamato! That's exactly what this move was designed for! Now, watch the next one—'Moon Walk'!" Lee said.

He kicked off the ground and shot into the sky.

Just when everyone thought he was about to launch an attack, Lee continuously kicked the air with his legs and somehow stabilized himself in midair! He showed no signs of falling.

"L-Little Lee is flying!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing at the sky in disbelief.

His face was filled with astonishment.

"H-How is he doing that?" Sakura asked, perplexed.

"How can he fly without wings?" Sai wondered, equally confused.

"Moon Walk is a technique that involves rapidly stomping on air to generate a recoil force that briefly propels the user into the air," Mizukage explained. "However, it's extremely exhausting and consumes a lot of true qi, making it the most difficult among the Six Styles."

"Incredible! Martial arts are truly powerful and mysterious," Yamato said, awe-struck. His heart yearned even more for such formidable power.

Boom!!

Lee landed back on the ground.

"The advanced technique of Moon Walk is all about conserving stamina and learning how to move more swiftly and freely in the sky. It's hard to understand without prior training, so I won't demonstrate it further.

Now, it's your turn to attack me!"

Lee patted his chest, inviting their attacks.

"Attack you?

That doesn't seem right. We might hurt you," Naruto frowned.

"Don't worry! Lee is demonstrating the Six Styles—Iron Block. Go ahead and attack him.

If your move is strong enough to hurt Lee, he'll dodge it," Guy explained with a smile.

"In that case, don't hold back!"

Naruto clenched his fists and stepped forward, facing Lee, who stood a full head taller and exuded strength.

He couldn't help but feel annoyed at Lee's towering height. It was frustrating just looking at him!

Naruto gritted his teeth and, at Lee's urging, threw a punch at Lee's stomach without holding back.

"Bang! Clang!"

"Ah! That hurts!"

A painful cry rang out, but it wasn't from Lee; it was Naruto Uzumaki! He pulled back his slightly swollen right hand and cried out as he covered it with his left.

"How can it hurt this much? It feels like I punched a block of iron! Ouch!"

"This is the Martial Arts 'Iron Block'! By tensing the muscles and reinforcing them with true qi, the body can achieve the hardness of iron!"

Emperor Keluo smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up.

"Go ahead and hit me harder, Naruto. You can even use ninjutsu if you want."

Lee said earnestly, his face serious.

To Naruto, it seemed like Lee was saying:

"Is that all you've got? Can't you put in a little more effort?"

"Damn it! If that's how you want to play, then don't blame me! Rasengan!"

Naruto created two shadow clones, and they immediately started forming the jutsu.

"Rasengan, huh? Perfect timing! Martial Arts: Steel Block!"

Lee let out a low shout, and his skin glowed with a fluorescent light.

Naruto threw the Rasengan, hitting Lee squarely.

Whoosh!

The Rasengan spun, tearing through Lee's shirt, and then slammed into his exposed abs.

Whoosh...

The Rasengan continued to spin, but...

It had absolutely no effect, and it eventually dissipated.

"It... didn't work?"

Naruto was stunned.

"This is the advanced version of Iron Block—Steel Block!

It can withstand almost all destructive ninjutsu below S-rank.

What do you think, Naruto? Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? If not, the others can take their turns too."

Lee smiled and patted his abs.

"Damn it... Don't underestimate me!"

Naruto was furious.

His clones gritted their teeth and gathered around the original.

Buzz...

In the next moment, the Rasengan began to spin again, but this time, it was infused with rapid wind-style rotation, causing the entire sphere to emit a terrifying howl.

"Naruto, stop! This is just a demonstration; there's no need to use an S-rank jutsu!"

Yamato exclaimed upon seeing Naruto's move.

"Yeah, Naruto, stop! You might hurt Lee!"

Sakura added.

"This is Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken!"

Lee was surprised.

"Heh! Are you scared now? Do you want me to stop? Just say the word, and I'll stop right now!"

Naruto held the spinning Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken, which was creating gusts of wind, and smirked triumphantly.

"No need! Come at me! But maybe the rest of you should back off a little."

Lee remained unmoved and instead warned Sakura, Yamato, and Sai to move back.

"Are... Are you sure you're okay with this? This is an S-rank jutsu!"

Yamato was worried and looked at Emperor Mizukage, hoping he would intervene.

"Wind Style: Rasengan Shuriken is indeed powerful, but Lee seems confident. Let's just watch."

Mizukage smiled and started to back away.

Yamato could only reluctantly back off with Sakura and Sai, giving them a wide berth.

"You asked for this, Lee! Don't complain later!"

Naruto glared at the unfazed Lee, his eyes full of complexity.

"Come on, Naruto! His Majesty's Martial Arts are far stronger than you think!"

Lee patted his abs again.
