Chapter 746: Douhei vs. Might Guy!
Chapter 746: Douhei vs. Might Guy!
"Attack!"
The Skyguard Tower forces took the initiative and launched an offensive.
At this moment, they held the absolute advantage, both in numbers and quality.
Before Douhei's Sunbeam Blast, the Allied Forces had fewer numbers compared to the Skyguard Tower side, and after the battle, only about a third of them survived, totaling less than a thousand.
It was a devastating loss!
Not to mention, whether it was strength or equipment, they were all on different levels.
Massacre!
However, the Skyguard Tower's ninja forces had no intention of letting Jiraiya, Tsunade, Mutsuki, and others take action because these were Douhei's intended prey.
Instead, Bunta, Ten Thousand Serpents, Koushi, and other large ninja beasts had opponents to deal with.
With the Skyguard Tower's elite forces, facing ninja beasts without the support of Kage-level warriors was still manageable.
"Lady Tsunade, I've always wanted to have a spar with you!"
Hyuga Tsukimi positioned herself in the Gentle Fist starting stance.
Indeed, she was also going to join the battle today.
This was also a way to indirectly clear her name.
Being a teammate who had always stayed by Douhei's side without making any significant moves would naturally draw attention.
After all, among the 404 Squad, both Douhei and Yamashiro Koji possessed astonishing strength, so it was only natural that the remaining member, Hyuga Tsukimi, would attract attention.
It was easier to go unnoticed before, but now that the Skyguard Tower was under scrutiny, even an ant would be examined, let alone Hyuga Tsukimi.
Therefore, she had to demonstrate her abilities to conceal her true self.
Elite Jonin!
This was the role she needed to portray.
Kage-level warriors were not common; her display of Elite Jonin strength was more in line with others' expectations.
This was the real disguise.
Expert!
Moreover, she only excelled in the Gentle Fist, so abilities like Sky Piercing Strike, Piercing Wave, Reincarnation Eye, and the like had nothing to do with her, making it unlikely for anyone to suspect her.
The plan had been prepared in advance; now, it was merely time to execute it.
"Eight Trigram Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hyuga Tsukimi directly unleashed the Eight Trigram Formation, dragging Tsunade into it.
The two seemed to have a significant disparity in strength.
After all, one was a veteran Kage, while the other was merely an Elite Jonin.
The issue was that Tsunade, as a Kage, specialized in Taijutsu and was more adept at medical ninjutsu, making her vulnerable to the Gentle Fist.
Additionally, her condition had been weakened by the Sunbeam Blast, so it wasn't surprising that she was held back.
As the two fought, they moved in sync towards the side, clearing the battlefield.
"Uchiha Douhei!"
Jiraiya glared, ready to fight Douhei to the bitter end.
"Hokage-sama, let me handle this!"
Might Guy volunteered.
If it were anyone else, Jiraiya would have thought they had a problem.
An Elite Jonin wanting to take on an Ultra Kage-level opponent?
The catch was that this Elite Jonin was Might Guy, a miracle-working ninja.
When his father, a Genin, faced the Kirigakure's Tenchuu, he kicked them so hard they became the Lucky Three, a miraculous feat.
Guy, his son, surpassed his father in Taijutsu, both in terms of effort and natural talent.
In other words, his explosive power was even greater.
Jiraiya couldn't be unaware of this, so his hesitation stemmed from the fact that if Guy were to engage, he would have to be prepared to lose this blue beast.
"Hokage-sama, youth never backs down!"
Guy flashed a toothy grin and gave a thumbs-up, which also convinced Jiraiya.
"Then, I'll leave it to you!"
After nodding, Jiraiya rushed towards Uchiha Yaya.
As for Mutsuki, she had already hidden herself in an unknown location.
Half of her body had melted; the only reason she wasn't dead was due to the incredible resilience of snakes, let alone the idea of her fighting.
Whether Douhei intentionally held back or not?
Indeed, her survival was partly due to his leniency.
If Douhei had used the Sunbeam Blast a few moments faster, the Three Sacred Princesses, who were the last to escape, would have been wiped out, not just two dead and one severely injured.
As for the reason?
Of course, it was because Douhei had already imprinted the Flying Thunder God Seal on her body while she was restrained.
Although he didn't have spatial affinity and couldn't learn this forbidden technique, it didn't mean he couldn't grasp it.
From the very beginning, Tang Ping had never intended to annihilate the entire Dragon Ground Hole snake population today.
It wasn't that he couldn't do it; it was simply unnecessary.
Without a snake to guide them, they wouldn't be able to locate the Dragon Ground Hole.
Hence, he deliberately staged this entire act.
It's not about the age of the technique; as long as it works, that's all that matters.
Last time, even the Mystical Forest Mountain relied on Bunta's guidance to finally find it.
With that experience, this time would naturally be much easier.
After all, Mutsuki would eventually 'escape', even if something happened to her; there were still Ten Thousand Serpents and Koushi as backup.
It's just that Tang Ping took extra precautions.
"Sixth Gate: Gate of Enlightenment, open!"
Might Guy directly opened the sixth gate.
Having witnessed Tang Ping's strength, he naturally wouldn't think that he could face the other head-on in his normal state.
A surge of green chakra enveloped Guy's body, giving him a 'transformation' sensation.
"Fire Finger Jutsu!"
Tang Ping extended his index finger.
Whoosh! A white laser-like Fire Finger shot out but was easily dodged by Guy.
It wasn't that the other party's reaction speed had increased to such an extent.
It was simply because he had locked onto Tang Ping's finger movements in advance and predicted his dodge accordingly.
"The Youthful Power Symphony officially begins!"
Guy rushed towards Tang Ping at high speed.
Arid Bite!
The azure flames entwined around Tang Ping's fist.
Ordinary hot pot flames were one thing.
But these flames that could melt gold and iron... Guy had no choice but to face them head-on.
"Yo!"
Guy's fist collided with Tang Ping's.
Fortunately, he hadn't elementalized, or his body might have been blasted apart.
Too strong! Even with only six gates open, Guy, the 'Might King', lived up to his name, and his current strength was no weaker than his final battle in the original storyline.
T
After all, there was also Yamayoshi Kaisuke on the Skyguard Tower side to serve as a demonstration.
By showcasing the full potential of the Eight Gates Technique, Guy had gained a special status in Konoha.
With more resources invested, his potential was revealed ahead of schedule.
In the original storyline, Guy didn't receive such extensive support from the village; at most, he had the backing of the 'Will of Fire'.
But in this lifetime, Tang Ping's influence had made his strength surpass that of the original storyline.
While his foundational strength was that of an elite Jonin, it was primarily his ninjutsu that held him back. If you were to consider only his taijutsu, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Quasi-Kage.
And the effect of the Eight Gates Technique was entirely based on his normal state strength.
A strength amplifier! The stronger the foundational strength, the greater the effect.
That's why Tang Ping had to take matters into his own hands.
Because when the Might King went all out, even Rikudo Sennin was almost kicked to death, and he wouldn't let Uchiha Yaya face that.
Only by taking action himself could he ensure safety.
Facing a Might Guy with a will to die, Tang Ping was truly troubled.
The good news was that he had already considered how to respond, so while he was troubled, it wasn't as if he could only lie down and wait for death.
After opening the sixth gate, the terrifying chakra was sufficient to protect Guy's body, making him completely unafraid of Tang Ping's flames.
At least, this was the case before his chakra was exhausted.
Countless years of training and accumulation erupted, causing Guy to shine like a meteor.
Damn it! Tang Ping wanted to curse.
In his plan, Jiraiya and Tsunade wouldn't stay; they would retreat with the Konoha forces.
From the fact that the Six-Point Sealing Formation didn't enclose the Konoha Ninja Army, he knew that his strategic target today was the Dragon Ground Hole, not Konoha.
But Jiraiya insisted on sharing the fate of the Toad Clan, Tsunade stayed to cover their retreat, and Guy defied orders to protect the Hokage.
Indeed, these were all unexpected developments.
However, Tang Ping had no choice now; he couldn't just grab a bucket and run, could he?
Tang Ping also had his pride.
Even though the other party was the character he admired the most, now that they stood against him, he couldn't blame them.
Onward! Tang Ping took the initiative to launch an attack.
His killing intent was set! Today, the Might King was doomed; no one could save him, he declared.
