Chapter 517: 482. Battle of Fists Part-2
"Eight Inner Chakra Enlightenment?!"
Guy tilts his head in confusion.
"Mmm… the Eight Inner Chakra Enlightenment is an extremely powerful technique to harmonize mind, body, spirit, and chakra to exert strength far beyond the normal abilities of a human.
Unlike the Eight Inner gate formations, this technique permanently opens the chakra nodes in the body and maintains the harmony of both chakra and spirit within those chakra nodes. This harmony of chakra, spirit, and life energy generates a unique and more potent energy called Aura. A human can use this aura to perform physical feats far beyond the reach of a normal shinobi."
Chen points a finger toward Guy. He infuses a tiny bit of his cyan aura at the tip of his finger and smashes it toward the ground.
Bang…
Chen pauses his finger an inch above the ground.
Rumble… rumble…
The ground beneath Chen's feet cracks open and a ten-meter-wide rift split open the ground.
"The aura is not just the control of physical strength and spiritual energy. It's the control of the very laws of nature: the transfer and conversion of kinetic and potential energy." Chen explains the essence of aura to Guy.
"If you can master this, then you will truly become the most powerful Taijutsu expert in this world."
Sigh…
Chen sighs and gazes toward the sky.
Gulp…
Guy gulps his saliva as he recalls Izuna's explanation about Aura. Both of them have striking similarities with each other. Though Izuna's explanation has more depth to it. Nonetheless, it was complicated for him to make complete sense.
"T-then master Chen… how many chakra gates did you open?" Guy enquires.
"Sigh…"
Master Chen sighs again and turns towards Guy.
"I wasn't talented enough. I was only able to open four chakra nodes in my lifetime. In this matter, your father Might Dai was much more talented than me. His sixth inner gate was almost on par with my Fourth chakra node and his seventh gate surpassed my Fourth chakra node by quite a bit. As for the eight gates… hehe… let's not talk about it!" Chen chuckles.
Shoom…
Suddenly, Chen's expression turns stiff as a pulse of chakra flashes past his mind.
"Guy… I can't control my body anymore. So, be prepared!"
Whoosh…
A cyan aura envelops Chen's body, and he disappears from Guy's vision.
"He's fast!" Guy swiftly takes a defensive position and closely follows Chen's movements.
Swoosh… Bang…
Chen appears behind Guy and performs a roundhouse kick.
Bang…
The kicks land on Guy and sends him flying across the forest.
Bam…
Guy crashes through multiple trees before smashing into a boulder.
Whoosh…
Chen reappears in front of Guy and opens his mouth.
"That was my afterimage you were tracking!"
Swoosh…
Chen stomps the ground and once again three more Chen appear in Guy's vision.
Bang… bang… bang…
Guy wards off multiple of Chen's constant flurry of attacks with his arms and legs. His hands and legs turn sore from the constant defense.
HAAHH…
Guy crosses his arms and riles up his chakra.
"Eight Inner Gate Formation: Sixth Gate of View: Open,"
Guy emits a powerful shockwave from his body that disperses Chen's afterimages and pushes him back.
Chen crosses his arms in front of his body and glances at Guy.
"So, you can also open the Sixth Gate. Wonderful!"
Whoosh…
The cyan aura around Chen's body thickens, and he performs an upward spin kick. Chen infuses his aura into the kick and generates a powerful wind tornado with the kick.
The tornado morphs into a giant cyan dragon with whiskers.
ROOAAARR…
It releases a powerful roar and leaps toward Guy intending to swallow him.
Guy confronts the giant dragon and releases a flurry of punches.
"Asakujaku,"
A peacock-like fan of flames appears in front of him as Guy's rapid punches set the air ablaze. The flurry of fireballs bombards the cyan dragon. However, it swallows them all and proceeds to attack Guy.
HAAH…
Guy recedes his fists even further and gathers the surrounding aura into his fists.
BANG…
His punch explodes forward a giant fire phoenix erupts from his attack. The phoenix and the dragon clash together and a hurricane of fire and wind appears on the battlefield. Both of their attacks ravage the battlefield around them and multiple Zetsu die as collateral.
Finally, both jutsus cancel out each other and vanish into the air.
Huff… Huff…
Guy breathes heavily with sweat around his body. Exerting such strength and techniques comes at the cost of his stamina.
On the other side, Master Chen is still in his peak state. Being an Edo, he doesn't have to worry about chakra and stamina since he has infinite reserves of them.
The three former Raikages, A, Kakashi, and the rest of the Edo pause and glances at the battle between Chen and Kakashi.
"I didn't expect there is still someone in Konoha who possesses the same level of Taijutsu skill as Master Chen." The Second Raikage and the Third Raikage recognize Master Chen and acknowledge Guy's Taijutsu skills.
They have fought multiple times against this legendary Taijutsu master during the Second and the Third Shinobi war and are aware of his high combat prowess.
At some distance from the battlefield,
Tenten, Lee, and Neji stand on a small hill and gazes toward the giant black cloud.
"Byakugan!"
Shiing…
Neji activates his Byakugan and glances in the direction of the battlefield. He notices the three former Raikage, A, the three bodyguards, Kakashi, Master Chen, and Guy.
"I can see Guy-sensei! He is currently fighting against someone." Neji informs Guy and Tenten.
"Guy Sensei! I will be right there." Lee clenches his fists with a bright flame in his eyes.
"Tenten, how long will it take?" He turns towards Tenten, who is tinkering with some glider-like device.
"Give me a few more minutes. This flying device from the Land of the Sky is a bit broken. I forgot to perform maintenance on it after taking it from those shinobis."
Sigh…
Neji sighs and shakes his head.
"What are we even doing here? We should be retreating behind the back lines! And yet here I am with you two."
"It was Lee's idea!" Tenten adjusts the wings of a glider as he pushes it towards Lee with an angry expression.
Hehe…
Lee sweats at Tenten's expression.
"But… But… Guy sensei is fighting on the battlefield for our sake. How can I sit behind and watch from the back line, even after we have grown strong to such an extent?" Lee makes puppy eyes towards Neji and sticks close to him.
Augh…
"Fine!" Neji is repulsed by Lee's sweat and tears and reluctantly agrees.
"You both owe me thirty thousand Ryō each for these flying devices." Tenten's emotionless voice douses down their enthusiasm.
The trio ties the flying device around their back and jumps down from the hill. They swiftly fly towards the battlefield.
Bzzt…
A small bolt of lightning flies from the black clouds and zaps Lee. Smoke rises from Lee and his glider.
"Lee, are you alright?" Neji asks in worry.
"I… I am fine!" Lee gives a thumbs up with smoke rising from his body.
Back on the battlefield,
Whoosh… swoosh…
Master Chen swiftly flickers in front of Guy and lands a flurry of kicks and punches at him.
"Leaf Great whirlwind,"
Guy helplessly dodges every strike he could and blocks every strike he couldn't.
"Guy!"
Kakashi glances in Guy's direction but is unable to help him as he is held back by enemies on every side.
"Tch…" Guy clicks his tongue.
"Looks like I can't hold back anymore." He sighs and prepares to open the Seventh Gate.
"GUUYYYY SENSEEEIII!!!"
Lee's voice echoes in Guy's ears.
Sniff…
Tears appear in Guy's ears as he clenches his fists.
"I can even hear Lee cheering for me in this battle. Looks like I can't give up. With this battle, I will surpass my limits and set an example for Lee."
Haah…
Guy extends his arms in front of his body and prepares to further rile up his chakra and aura.
"AAAHH… GUY SENSEEIIII!!!"
"W-what?! Even Neji and Tenten are cheering up for me. Now I have to win this battle at all costs."
Tears flood out from Guy's eyes.
Suddenly,
BANG… BANG… BANG…
Three explosions ring in the air.
Chapter 518: 483. Battle of Fists Part-3
A few seconds later,
The Zetsu army notices the three flying gliders above their head.
"Is that some kind of bird?" One of the Zetsu asks a stupid question.
"Are you blind?" Another Zetsu bashes his head.
"I forgot my glasses!" The Zetsu chuckles.
"…"
The rest of the Zetsu turn silent and stare at their idiotic friend.
"Let's just ignore him and shoot down these shinobis."
The Zetsu soldiers throw a barrage of attacks toward team three.
With the constant barrage of attacks, the flying device breaks apart.
Bang… bang… bang…
Three explosions ring in the air.
"GUY SENSEI!"
Lee, Tenten, and Neji fall from the sky and land on top of Guy.
BAM…
Guy, who was about to rile up his chakra to open the seventh gate, is stunned by the combined weight of the trio.
"Mmm… Neji, get off me!"
Tenten waves her hands with struggle.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
Neji quickly gets off from the top of the group. Tenten heaves a sigh of relief.
"Tenten, you are heavy!" Lee, who is squeezed under Tenten, squirms in pain.
"Hey, what do you mean I am heavy? I started dieting a few days ago and already lost two kgs."
Tenten harrumphs and stands up.
"When I fell, why does it feel like I fell on something soft?" Lee slowly sits up.
"Lee, below you!" Tenten and Neji point to him with gestures.
"Huh! Below me."
Lee looks below him.
GAH…
Guy is knocked out with bubbles frothing out from his mouth.
"Guy Sensei!"
Lee quickly stands up and supports Guy.
"Eat this, Guy Sensei!" He feeds a recovery pill to Guy and shakes him slightly.
"Lee!" Guy recovers his stamina and notices Lee, Neji, and Tenten beside him.
"What are you doing here, Lee?"
"Guy Sensei, I couldn't help myself but rush into battle to aid you in your fight." Lee clenches his fists with a fire burning in his eyes.
"LEE YOU!"
Guy's expression turns dark at Lee's remark.
Ah…
Neji and Tenten gulp their saliva in fear.
"LEE! I am so touched! To think that you will march between the enemies to fight alongside your Sensei!" Tears flow from Guy's eyes as he hugs Lee in his embrace.
"Guy Sensei, let's fight together." Lee clenches his fists.
"The blue and green beasts of Konoha are ready to fire up the battlefield!"
"Hoho… quite a lively bunch, aren't you?" Master Chen's words pull their attention.
"Ah, this voice!"
Lee turns towards the voice and notices Master Chen.
"Old Master Chen!" Lee bows his head in respect to greet Master Chen.
"I guess I am really famous, hehe!" Master Chen chuckles in delight after being recognized twice in a row.
"I am so honored to see you again!"
"Eh!" Master Chen and Guy stare at Lee with slight doubt.
"Lee, Master Chen died way before you were born. How did you meet him?" Guy points out the fact.
"Master Chen wasn't dead."
"What?!"
"At that time…" Lee narrates his entire experience of meeting Master Chen to Guy.
"Huh! You are the brat from that time. You are still a shinobi, eh?" Master Chen grits his teeth and clenches his fists.
"One can't simply give up on their dreams.
"Lee, what's going on? What did Master Chen say to you?" Guy turns to Lee for answers.
"A shinobi who can't use Ninjutsu isn't fit to be a SHINOBI!!!" Master Chen riles up his chakra.
"If you can't give up on your dream, then today I will make you give up on it." A dense cyan aura surrounds Master Chen's body.
The sheer pressure from the aura breaks apart the ground around him. Numerous cracks and rifts appear on the ground as it splits into multiple small ravines. A giant crater appears near Master Chen's position.
"What amazing pressure?" Lee, Guy, and the rest are pushed back by Master Chen's intense aura.
"How could you say such a thing to my Lee?" Guy angrily turns towards Master Chen.
"You, of all people, should know the most." Master Chen scoffs at Guy.
"That… I…" Guy clenches his fists as he recalls the image of his father smiling at him.
"Still, I can't accept it. Master Chen, you said a shinobi who cannot use any ninjutsu is powerless and isn't fit to be a shinobi. However, only a person who stands and lives by his idea is fit to be a shinobi. And Lee will never give up on his dream. So, Master Chen, you are wrong!" Guy points fingers towards Master Chen.
"You two!"
Bang… Bang…
A pillar of cyan aura rises from Master Chen's body as a hurricane of wind generates from the sheer pressure emitting from his body.
"Very well, I will prove to you both teacher and pupil the error of your ways!"
"We aren't wrong. Lee, you should be able to prove this to him." Guy stands beside Lee.
"GUY SENSEI!!" Tears overflow Lee's eyes.
"Yes, Guy Sensei! I will never give up."
Both Lee and Guy clench their fists.
"Sixth Gate: Gate of View,"
"Seventh Gate: Gate of Wonder,"
"OPEN!"
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
Both Lee and Guy push their bodies to limit and open the eight inner gates. A powerful aura rises from their body and the shockwaves from opening the gates collide with the wind hurricane generated by Master Chen's aura. Sparks fly up in the air as the nearby tree, rocks, and ground tear apart from just the clash of their aura.
"What intense Aura?!"
Lee, Neji, and even the surrounding Zetsu are blown away by their aura.
"Lee, he…" Neji's eyes widen in shock.
"I didn't expect him to be so strong!" Neji clenches his fists.
"I won't give up that easily, either!" Neji turns towards Kakashi.
"Tenten… let's help Kakashi Sensei in his battle."
Mm…
Tenten gazes at Neji's face and nods her head.
'Looks like Lee's growth motivated Neji, who was always hailed as a genius to push past his limits.'
"I AM COMING!"
SHOOM…
Master Chen disappears from his position.
SHOOM… SHOOM…
Both Lee and Guy also disappear from their spots and clash against Master Chen in Taijutsu skills."
BANG… BANG…
The shockwaves from their battle ravage the surrounding battlefield, and multiple Zetsu lose their life as collateral.
"So, this is the peak of the Taijutsu skills in the shinobi world!"
The three Raikages stares at their battle with amazement in their eyes.
"Konoha, sure, is blessed to possess such strong individuals. Sigh…" The First Raikage sighs as he recalls the days of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
The trio continues to move away from the battlefield while laying waste to anything that is between them.
"Hmm… I didn't expect Master Chen to be an even match for the combined power of Guy and Lee." Kakashi, who is taking a breather after Tenten's and Neji's support remarks in surprise.
"Double Dynamic Entry,"
Both Lee and Guy perform a flying kick toward Master Chen.
HAAH…
Master Chen blocks their kicks with his arms.
Clench… clench…
He grabs their legs and spins rapidly.
"Leaf Whirlwind Hurricane,"
He tosses both of them in the opposite direction by using the momentum from spinning.
BANG… BANG…
Lee and Guy support themselves by kicking their landing rocks.
Swoosh…
They lunge toward Master Chen and rapidly dash around him.
"NOW!"
Whoosh…
Both of them perform roundhouse kicks.
Whoosh…
Master Chen ducks down and avoids their kick.
Bang…
Lee and Guy kick each other's feet and rapidly redirect the force from their feet to other parts of their body.
BANG…
They swiftly lower their torso and support their upper body with their hands.
BANG… BANG…
Both of them land a blow on Master Chen's chin and send him flying in the air.
Whoosh… swish…
Lee unwraps the bandages around his wrist and ties them around Master Chen's body. Guy grabs Master Chen's body and rapidly spins in the air.
"Front Lotus: Revolving Heaven Lotus Drop,"
BANG…
Both of them slam Master Chen's body on the ground and swiftly jump away at the last moment to avoid the impact.
BOOOMM…
A large pillar of dust rises at the point of impact. The ground rattles from the impact and a giant crater form at the point of impact.
Huff… Huff…
Lee and Guy breathe heavily as they stare at the crater with wariness.
HAAAAHH…
"SENPOU KONOHA RYŪJIN,"
ROOARR…
A giant azure one-eyed dragon leaps out from the crater. The giant dragon wipes away the cloud of dust and releases a powerful roar that generates powerful shockwaves.
"SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
Both Lee and Guy cross their arms and infuse the aura of their body in their fists to release one last attack.
"ASAKUJAKU!"
"HIRUDORA!"
Both of them unleash their most powerful attack to fight against the ultimate technique of the legendary Taijutsu master.
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
A giant fire phoenix, a giant white tiger, and an azure dragon clash against each other.
The shockwaves from their attack travel all the way to the back lines camps of the allied shinobi army.
"What was that?"
The shinobis gaze in the direction of the battlefield as the powerful shockwaves blow off most of their camps and multiple shinobis topple onto the ground.
