The Tiger in the Day!

Do you believe in light?

Itachi Uchiha initially thought that the so-called light was nothing but nonsense, however...

The fierce wind, sharp as a blade, stung my face, and the dazzling blue light even made the kaleidoscope freeze slightly. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in that light of youthful passion.

This moment!

Might Guy, the Azure Beast of Konoha!

He is showing the world the dazzling brilliance of an ordinary ninja!

"This is troublesome!"

Aside from his earlier change in expression because of Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha's usually calm face was once again tinged with a lingering sorrow.

With the aid of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha could clearly sense that Might Guy in front of him was completely different from the one before him, and was not some trash like Asuma Sarutobi who could be toyed with at will.

If it were before.

Even if Might Guy devised a technique that didn't require him to look into his own eyes, Itachi Uchiha was still confident that he could drag his opponent into a genjutsu without them even realizing it.

However, in the [Gate of Shock] state, Might Guy's chakra was even more violent than that of the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, making it impossible to successfully cast a 'normal genjutsu' on him in this state.

There's no way to drain the water!

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kisame beside him with some difficulty, feeling for the first time in his life that his life as a spy was so difficult.

However, Kisame clearly misunderstood Itachi's gaze!

"As expected of Itachi-san!"

Sensing the change in Might Guy, Kisame Hoshigaki, though his fighting spirit was surging, instantly turned and charged towards Rock Lee and the others after receiving Itachi Uchiha's signal.

not good!

Itachi Uchiha's expression showed even more difficulty, but he still maintained his confrontational stance with Might Guy, clearly indicating that the current situation was not worth revealing his identity as a 'spy'.

The Akatsuki poses a huge threat to Konoha!

As for...

Before Itachi Uchiha could think any further, a dazzling blue light once again streaked across the sky, causing even the Mangekyou Sharingan user to break out in a light sweat.

However, at this moment, Might Guy's target was not Itachi...

"How is that possible!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had just revealed a cruel smile, froze in mid-air in disbelief.

wrong!

It wasn't that Kisame's movements had frozen at this moment, but rather that his perception of time had been 'slowed down' to an extreme degree!

A figure shrouded in blue steam had appeared before Kisame Hoshigaki at some point, slowly and deliberately assuming a fighting stance, his piercing eyes gleaming with anger.

Konoha's Ruined Rock Rising!

A jet of azure steam accompanied by a turquoise elbow strike mercilessly slammed into Kisame's shark-like face. His right hand, which he had raised to defend himself and possessed superhuman strength, could only fly backward in agony as the unbearable pain in his face caused him to fly backward in frustration.

Bang! Bang! Crash!

As a series of heavy objects crashed to the ground, accompanied by a piercing noise as they slid and tumbled, Matt Kai's expression remained unusually calm.

"Xiao Li, let's go first!"

Might Guy's tone was very calm at this moment, and his gaze was slightly turned to his left front, staring intently at Uchiha Itachi not far away.

This is a vicious individual capable of slaughtering an entire clan, and he is none other than the infamous Uchiha clan.

Therefore, compared to the guy with the shark face, Itachi Uchiha posed the greatest threat to Rock Lee and the others behind him.

Despite possessing such terrifying strength, he still disregards any basic human decency and shows absolutely no dignity befitting a powerful individual…

Even Might Guy in his current state doesn't have complete confidence in facing a force like Itachi Uchiha...

but!

Sensing the youthful energy emanating from Lee and the others behind him, Might Guy's blue steam, which had been rising from his body, suddenly surged by another three points.

How will you know you can't do it if you don't try!

"Teacher Kai... so this is the power of physical techniques..."

As Lee was being pushed back by the blue steam, his eyes couldn't help but reveal an uncontrollable excitement. However, knowing that he couldn't stay here any longer, he firmly helped the unconscious Kurenai Yuhi to her feet and, without saying a word, called to his companions and ran towards the depths of Konoha Village.

I trust Teacher Kai, and I will never hold Teacher Kai back!

"youth!"

As he watched Lee and the others gradually move away from the battlefield, Might Guy's face lit up with a sunny smile once again, and his already poised figure vanished from the spot.

call out!

With speed that surpassed all limits, Might Guy appeared in front of Itachi Uchiha in the next instant.

In Itachi's vision, just as Kisame had felt earlier, time itself seemed to thicken...

but!

Compared to Kisame, who could only wait passively, Itachi Uchiha, whose Mangekyou Sharingan was slightly rotating in his eyes, was still able to maintain his calm expression.

"This is simply not something a human could do!"

Itachi Uchiha was slightly shocked, but he was even more confident in the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If Might Guy's speed has already surpassed the limits of human capability, then the dynamic vision of the Mangekyou Sharingan is even higher.

However, being able to see it is one thing, but trying to avoid it is another.

Konoha's Great Whirlwind!

Hovering in mid-air, Might Guy's body resembled a drawn bow. The next moment, he began to spin rapidly against gravity, his left leg kicking fiercely towards Itachi Uchiha's chest.

Uchiha Itachi, who had already witnessed this scene, dodged the attack range of the kick a step in advance, but he was also very clear about one thing.

With such terrifying speed and power, even if one can dodge a step in advance, one will inevitably be caught by the opponent's subsequent moves.

really!

The high-speed spinning low kick was not the end but the beginning. Might Guy's body opened up again as if defying gravity, followed by a sudden upper kick with his right foot.

It can be avoided!

But it's unnecessary!

Sooner or later, it will be unavoidable!

Knowing this clearly, Itachi Uchiha remained calm and watched the kick getting closer and closer to his chest.

Rumble!

A surge of orange-red chakra continuously flowed out of Itachi Uchiha's body, and a huge skeleton was instantly solidified.

But that's not enough!

Having clearly sensed the destructive power of Might Guy's attack, Itachi Uchiha could no longer conceal the terrifying power within him.

The orange-red chakra continued to condense, transforming into tangible meridians and flesh, rapidly covering the surface of the skeletal giant.

In the blink of an eye!

A towering, orange-red Susanoo, over twenty meters tall, appeared in the already chaotic Konoha Village. Its imposing and vast aura instantly silenced the entire village.

Ah!

In the face of life and death, no mistake is forgivable, especially under the watchful eye of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Two valiant Sarutobi ninjas fell forever before Uchiha Sasuke.

……

Let's turn our attention back to Itachi Uchiha.

The moment the orange-red Susanoo warrior completely solidified, Might Guy's high kick, carrying terrifying destructive power, arrived precisely on time.

hum~

The impact of the collision seemed invisible at that moment, yet it caused a dizzying sensation within a radius of thousands of meters.

"Is this really something an ordinary ninja could do?!"

Even with the protective power of Susanoo, Itachi Uchiha, whose body was still being pushed backward, couldn't help but feel a moment of disorientation.

This is too tricky!

Faced with Might Guy displaying such a terrifying form, ordinary methods were simply not enough to suppress him, which made Itachi Uchiha even more troubled.

When a person's weaknesses are obvious, it means in a sense that they have no weaknesses, because knowing these so-called weaknesses is useless!

Amaterasu? Tsukuyomi?

Even if you gain the initial advantage, you may not be able to hit your opponent successfully. At this moment, it is best to return to a contest of strength.

However, this was not the ending Itachi Uchiha had desired...

at last!

It seemed that even Susanoo could not withstand such terrifying force, and it was forced to take several steps backward before it could finally stop its movement.

Clang! Clang!

In this brief moment, Kisame Hoshigaki finally emerged from the rocks and immediately reached out his hands toward Samehada.

Samehada: Chakra Transfer!

While rapidly healing his injuries by guzzling Samehada's chakra, Kisame Hoshigaki's gaze once again fell upon Rock Lee and the others who were retreating into the distance.

Pure taijutsu-type ninjas are too much of a counter to Kisame. His previous offensive made it difficult for him to unleash the full power of his many chakra-based special attack skills. As a qualified ninja, Kisame has an extremely flexible bottom line.

With Itachi Uchiha holding Might Guy back, it's natural to seize the opportunity to create a more favorable environment for our side.

Water Escape·Thousand-Food Shark!

As Kisame Hoshigaki quickly began forming hand seals, jets of water suddenly gushed out from the ground, instantly turning an area of ​​over a thousand meters into a swamp.

Meanwhile, the shark, constructed from water-attribute chakra, pounced on Lee and his companions as they were retreating, just like a living creature.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!

Realizing the enemy's objective, Sarutobi Asuma disregarded the excruciating pain in his arm and forcefully used a fire-style technique with one hand to fight back.

but!

Kisame's water-style techniques are different from ordinary ninjutsu. Because of his long-term use of Samehada, he has a strange power that can absorb chakra.

Therefore, Asuma, whose chakra control was greatly reduced at this moment, not only failed to stop Kisame's ninjutsu with his fire release, but instead fueled the arrogance of those sharks.

boom!

In just a moment, Sarutobi Asuma, who was holding the line, was completely submerged by the enormous impact, while the giant sharks continued their relentless assault on Lee and the others.

not good?

Might Guy, who sensed this, looked even colder. He hadn't expected Asma to crash and burn so quickly.

Was this also within Itachi's expectations? After giving the calm face in front of him a solemn look, Might Guy's figure once again vanished from the spot.

next moment.

Might Guy had already arrived in front of the thousands of sharks, assuming a posture he had never shown before.

call……

As Matt Kai breathed heavily with his eyes closed, time seemed to thicken once more, and a somewhat rough male voice could be faintly heard.

"Youth never retreats, so it never ends!"

Having once again deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, Matt Kay's lips once again blossomed into that iconic youthful smile.

"The physical techniques you just used are nothing compared to what's coming next. This is a one-hit kill punch, a sight to behold once in a century..."

"Roar, youth!"
