When the announcement for this list came, it left everyone in disbelief.
It's Might Guy once again!
Everyone was familiar with Might Guy, and even the departed souls now knew of him. He was a Jōnin from Konoha, though not as famous as Kakashi. However, there existed a Taijutsu that surpassed even the mightiest Lightning Style's protective armor.
[Rock Lee: Sensei is unbelievably powerful. The Daytime Tiger is the ultimate technique after opening the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, and the Eight Inner Gates is undoubtedly the most formidable Taijutsu!]
[Fourth Raikage: Little brother, even though Might Guy's Daytime Tiger ranks eighth, there are seven other Taijutsu skills listed above it. Frankly, I don't quite agree with this ranking. How can the Daytime Tiger be eighth?]
At this moment, Might Guy was ecstatic. His Daytime Tiger had secured the eighth position on the Taijutsu list, surpassing the Third Raikage's Lightning Style's strongest armor.
Today his fame had surpassed that of Kakashi, known to countless ninja.
[Kakashi: Guy, I've never seen you use the Daytime Tiger. When we find the time to spar, will you show it to me?]
[Might Guy: This technique consumes a substantial amount of chakra. With my current strength, I can only perform it once. Besides, this body technique is extremely perilous. I fear that one strike would be fatal to you!]
[Kakashi: ? ? ? Guy, are you trying to act tough here, claiming you'd kill me with just one move?]
Suddenly, a picture appeared in the live broadcast room.
Everyone held their breath, as it seemed that the top ten of the Taijutsu list would feature images of their respective techniques for everyone to see.
In the image, Might Guy was engaged in battle against a Kage-level ninja.
This Kage-level ninja appeared to be an expert water ninjutsu user, wielding an enormous weapon.
However, the ninja's face was pixelated in the live broadcast, making it impossible to identify them.
Nonetheless, their identity could be deduced from the weapon.
[Fourth Raikage: That's Samehada, one of the seven swordsmen of Kirigakure's weapons. Could this person be...]
[Fuguki Suikazan: It's not me; I'm dead. My Samehada was captured by Hoshigaki Kisame. This guy should be Hoshigaki Kisame.]
[Hoshigaki Kisame: It's not me; I've never fought Might Guy before.]
[Might Guy: I'm also bewildered. I've never faced someone wielding Samehada, and this battle never occurred!]
[Terumi Mei: Could it be an image from the future? The Taijutsu list is so enigmatic; it's not impossible for it to have connections to the future.]
[Might Guy: Definitely the future, then I will face this Hoshigaki Kisame in the future?]
[Hoshigaki Kisame: I must have won that battle!]
The image continued, and the battle unfolded rapidly. Might Guy directly unlocked the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates and unleashed his technique, Daytime Tiger.
Boom!
With a single strike, he obliterated Hoshigaki Kisame's ninjutsu, launching a devastating attack that left Hoshigaki Kisame severely injured and on the brink of death.
The screen then faded to black.
Everyone had witnessed the terrifying power of the Daytime Tiger—a single move that had vanquished a Kage-level opponent!
[Kakashi: Guy, you've been hiding your true strength. When you claimed you could kill me with one move, I'm starting to believe it. Thank you for sparing me all these years!]
[Might Guy: It was nothing, Kakashi. If anyone ever troubles you in the future, I will certainly defeat them with the Daytime Tiger!]
[Senju Hashirama: This technique is quite interesting; it might give me a little trouble.]
[Uchiha Madara: Taijutsu skills are all well and good, but once I activate Susanoo, this technique won't pose any threat to me.]
[Senju Hashirama: Come on, Madara, don't pretend to be tough. Strength is relative, and it won't be a problem for someone with the same strength to shatter your Susanoo with one blow.]
[Senju Tobirama: There are rewards for the Taijutsu list. Many of Might Guy's techniques are listed. If these rewards are granted, how much stronger will he become?]
The appearance of Senju Tobirama startled many ninja.
Indeed, the Taijutsu list included rewards, and they were substantial.
Might Guy's strength was beyond doubt, bordering on Kage-level. By leveraging the rewards from the Taijutsu list, he might ascend to a super Kage-level.
At that point, he might truly have a chance to rival Uchiha Madara's strength.
Soon, the Seventh on Taijutsu List was announced.
[The seventh place on the list of Taijutsu: Eight Inner Gates Night Guy, User: Might Guy!]
When the announcement was made, everyone, including Might Guy himself, was left astounded.
Might Guy knew all too well that to perform Night Guy, he had to unlock the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, which meant certain death after its use.
[Kakashi: Guy, what exactly is Night Guy?]
[Might Guy: Night Guy is a technique that can only be performed after fully opening the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates.]
[Kakashi: Opening the Eighth Gate means unlocking the Gate of Death. Once it's opened, death is inevitable!]
[Fourth Raikage: If you die after opening the Eighth Gate, does Night Guy count as a move? Might Guy should never have used Night Guy before; otherwise, he would be dead. Does an unused technique like this count?]
[Third Hokage: Fourth Raikage, you're just envious. Just because he hasn't used it yet doesn't mean he won't. If Might Guy ever decides to use it, it's part of his repertoire and naturally counts.]
As everyone discussed, another picture appeared in the live broadcast room, depicting a battle scene involving Might Guy.
In the image, Might Guy unlocked the Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Death, and unleashed the Daytime Tiger.
The opponent was immensely powerful, hovering in mid-air with a black scepter in hand, surrounded by black orbs.
The face remained concealed, and no one could identify them.
As the image unfolded, Kakashi, Might Guy, and the Fourth Hokage all appeared in succession.
[Fourth Hokage: Wait, I believe I'm deceased. Why am I here, fighting alongside Might Guy?]
[Third Hokage: Minato, you're in a state of Impure World Reincarnation. It seems someone has brought you from Impure World Reincarnation into the real world.]
[Fourth Hokage: It appears this is an image from the future.]
Many people were speculating about Might Guy's opponent, but it was clear that no one else dared to engage with this individual, particularly the enigmatic black orbs.
They weren't foolish; they quickly deduced that this person was impervious to ninjutsu or sage arts and could only be defeated through Taijutsu combat.
However, Might Guy's Daytime Tiger posed no threat to this opponent.
In the end, Might Guy executed Night Guy, a technique that vastly accelerated his speed, allowing him to unleash a barrage of kicks.
[Senju Tobirama: That speed is utterly terrifying, even surpassing mine. Facing Might Guy with the Eighth Gate unlocked, I'd be kicked to death in an instant!]
[Senju Hashirama: I must admit, this Taijutsu is truly fearsome and has the potential to kill me.]
While others marvelled at the power of Night Guy, Uchiha Madara's eyes remained fixed on the figure in the Six Paths Mode within the image.
He recognized it; this person was undoubtedly him!
"It seems my future plans have succeeded!" Uchiha Madara burst into laughter.
