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.
Chapter 519: 484. End of the Third Day Battle
Rumble… rumble…
The dust clouds and smoke settle down to reveal the azure dragon disperse into pure energy.
"My Leaf Dagon God?!" Master Chen falls to his knees in defeat.
"How can this be? How can I lose? Why won't you give up?" He blankly stares at the sky.
"No, there was a time when I almost thought of giving up." Lee shakes his head.
"Back then in the academy, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't become strong like the rest of my classmates. However, I was fortunate enough to meet Guy Sensei.
I don't have to be like others. My strength lies in my willingness to never give up and keep pushing forward to surpass my limits. If hard work was pain and suffering, then giving up on my dream will make me suffer more. Day by day, I would have lived in regret of never trying and giving my best. But now, I am strong thanks to that resolve and the support of people around me." Lee clenches his fists.
"I see…"
A smile appears on Master Chen's face.
"You found yourself a fine teacher."
Crack appears on Master Chen's body as it slowly disperses into ashes.
"Long ago, I too had a pupil…"
Master Chen recalls the memories of his student and closes his eyes.
"Here, take this as my parting gift!"
He makes a series of hand signs and summons an ancient scroll. Master Chen passes the scroll to Lee.
"Master Chen!"
Lee tightly clutches the scroll in his hand and tears overflow from his eyes.
"This is…"
Guy glances at the scroll in Lee's hand.
"This is the complete Eight Inner Chakra Enlightenment Technique. I hope you can find a use for it!"
With these words, a white glow surrounds Master Chen's body, and he returns to the Pure Land.
Izuna observes the entire battle from the sky and murmurs.
"What a surprise! I didn't expect the technique I created by improving the Eight Inner Gates Formation to be the basis for the Eight Inner Gates Formation."
Back on the Raikage's battlefield,
"A, it's too late!"
The Raikage sighs and stomps on the ground.
Bzzt…
The giant lightning orb releases a bright glow and shoots toward the sky. It pierces through the cloud and vanishes into the sky.
"What… what's going on?"
The shinobis at HQ stare at the jutsu with skeptical gazes.
"This…"
Even the Kumo head ninja in HQ is flabbergasted by the sudden change.
"Erm… well… I only heard stories about this jutsu. I have never seen it in action. So, my knowledge is limited." He helplessly shakes his head.
The giant lightning orb reaches the orbit and supercharges into the ionosphere.
HAAH…
The three Raikages claps their hand.
Fwoosh… Shoom…
The giant lightning orb splits into several gigantic lightning spears and locks onto several shinobi camps and the HQ.
"This jutsu is targeting the vital camps of our army and the headquarters," Kushina informs Minato of the situation.
"Quickly inform the members of the barrier team to erect barriers." Shikaku swiftly issues orders to the communication team.
In a hidden underground hideout,
"Kuku… it's time to cripple the allied shinobi force. If this plan doesn't work, then I can only resort to my trump card."
Haah…
He makes a Ram hand sign.
Shoom…
The lightning spears shoot toward several camps of the Allied Shinobi forces. A gigantic lightning spear falls straight toward A and another shoots toward the First Division's camp.
Hmm…
Sakumo narrows his eyes as he senses the threat.
'The barrier team won't be able to make it. I have to buy some time.'
He steps forwards and wields his chakra blade in his hand.
"Secret Technique: Heavenly Phantom Blade Slash,"
Sakumo infuses almost all of his chakra into his blade and releases a powerful crescent slash toward the rapidly approaching lightning spear.
Bzzt… Boom…
The crescent slash clashes against the lightning spear. Their clash generates a powerful burst of energy that blows away the surrounding terrain. However, despite Sakumo's best efforts, the lightning spear eventually overpowers his technique and heads toward the camp.
"Wind users, attack!"
The vice-commander issues a command as several wind users launch a barrage of wind jutsus in an effort to whittle down the lightning spear.
The barrier team also manages to erect a barrier.
Boom… Crack…
The lightning spear explodes on top of the barrier and destroys it within a fraction of a few seconds. It strikes down the ground and generates a powerful lightning current that shocks several shinobis in its vicinity.
Boom…
A giant pillar of lightning bolt rises towards the sky and dust, and debris covers the area.
Sasuke intercepts several lightning spears with the Yata no Kagami shield.
The powerful elemental barrier of the Yata no Kagami shield nullifies the chakra within the lightning spear. However, the force behind the spears is still powerful enough to blow him backward.
Sasuke's chakra reserves drain rapidly as he blocks several lightning spears with the Yata shield.
"Sasuke, allow the attacks heading towards the HQ to pass through. The barrier around the HQ is strong enough to withstand it.
"We will also somehow manage on our own!"
Raasa also assures him.
After blocking several lightning spears heading toward the medical division, Sasuke runs out of chakra. He dispels his Susanoo and lands on the ground to recover the chakra.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Lightning spears strike several places and havoc destruction among the ranks of the allied Shinobi force.
Sigh…
Minato and the rest sigh and shake their head.
"It could have been worse. With Sasuke's help, at least we managed to avert a big crisis. Still, we suffered heavy losses in today's battle."
Needless to say, the Allied shinobi force lost the Third day's battle.
Lee slowly escorts Guy towards the battlefield as A, Kakashi, Tenten, and Neji confront the three former Raikages.
Tenten gulps her saliva as she has no confidence in the Kages.
----------------------
On the other side of the battlefield,
Naruto finally suppresses Nagato using the Fuinjutsu seals.
"Naruto, I will entrust the hopes and the dreams of the future shinobis generation in your hands."
Nagato closes his eyes as his body slowly disperses.
"If only I could meet Jiraiya Sensei one last time and apologize to him for my mistakes."
"Very well!"
Izuna's voice echoes in Naruto's and Nagato's ears.
"This voice!" Both of their eyes widen in shock.
Fwoosh…
The next second, Jiraiya appears next to Naruto and Nagato.
"Ah… huh! Huh!"
Jiraiya is holding a bunch of playing cards in his hand as he looks around in confusion.
"What? Where am I? How am I here when I was playing cards with…"
"Pervy-Sage!"
Naruto yells and points a finger toward Jiraiya.
"Others are betting their life on the line and you are out there somewhere playing cards."
"Huh, Naruto!"
Jiraiya recognizes Naruto's voice and turns towards him. He notices the glow around Naruto and is slightly surprised to see it.
"That's Nine-tails chakra. You mastered it, Naruto?"
"Of course, I did!" Naruto smugly crosses his arms.
"But that's not the point! Tell me, what are you doing with these playing cards in your hands?"
"Oh, these! Whoops…"
Jiraiya quickly hides the cards in his pocket.
"Nothing… nothing! Currently, I am on a very important S-Rank mission. But you… Huh!"
Jiraiya narrows his eyes as he finally notices Nagato.
Swoosh…
He swiftly jumps back and enters into a combat stance.
"Nagato, is that you?"
"Yes, Sensei. It's me!" Nagato nods with a melancholic gaze.
"Pervy-sage, he's in control of himself," Naruto assures him.
"Sensei, I have a lot to talk with you. But first, I would like to apologize to you." Nagato bows his head.
"I see!"
-------------------------
Somewhere in an isolated mansion in the mountains.
"Ah!"
The five Daimyo stares at the empty space in front of them with shock. Each of them is holding a bunch of cards in their hands.
"Jiraiya-san, it's your tur…"
