Bang! Bang! Bang!
The violent impacts kicked up a massive cloud of dust, rapidly spreading until it engulfed the entire Hokage Tower.
Within the smoke, Jin's figure remained perfectly still.
He frowned slightly—not from pressure, but from shock.
"Pure taijutsu… actually shaking the Three-Foot Domain."
He murmured under his breath.
Every single strike of Morning Peacock carried the power to split mountains and shatter stone!
Though still blocked by the domain, the shockwaves alone made the air inside shriek sharply.
He could even clearly feel his left eye heating up.
That was the sign of his dōjutsu being pushed to its limit.
If Morning Peacock alone could disturb his Three-Foot Domain like this, then what about what came next?
Sure enough—standing still and letting himself be beaten like a target dummy was a stupid choice.
Hoo—
The wind stirred, and the dust gradually dispersed.
Huff… huff…
Guy was panting heavily.
In just three short minutes, he had thrown no fewer than a thousand punches!
Even after the final strike landed, his body was still frozen in a punching stance.
Drip.
Sweat streamed down his forehead like a small creek.
Sizzle.
When it hit the scorched ground, it instantly evaporated into white steam.
Exhausted. Completely exhausted.
"To think… even Morning Peacock…"
Yet as he looked at Jin—unharmed, unscathed, not even having moved an inch—shock was impossible to hide in his eyes.
But there was no frustration.
Only an even fiercer blaze of spirit—
And sheer, unfiltered amazement.
"Senior Guy, do you want to continue?"
Jin spoke softly, his gaze calm as it rested on Guy.
His tone remained flat, but deep in his eyes, there was now genuine respect.
If the Fourth Hokage represented the pinnacle of civilian-born ninja, then Might Guy represented the pinnacle of pure effort.
Was the Eight Gates strong?
Absolutely.
Then why was it only Might Guy who nearly kicked Madara to death?
Madara's arrogance played a part—but far more important was sweat.
The sweat Guy shed had forged his foundation to absolute perfection.
"Of course! Youth does not allow surrender! The Seventh Gate—"
Hearing Jin's words, Guy straightened abruptly, flashing his trademark dazzling white grin.
Hum.
At that moment, the sweat on his forehead seemed to gleam under the fading sunlight.
The green steam surrounding him suddenly deepened—
Turning into a dark blue, like a burning abyssal sea!
"Gate of Wonder—OPEN!!!"
In an instant, chakra so terrifying it made souls tremble surged skyward!
BOOM! BOOM!
The sheer pressure bent the trees around the Hokage Tower nearly double!
The air seemed to freeze—then was violently shoved aside!
Pfft!
Several Root members nearby flushed red and spat blood on the spot.
Just the leaking shockwaves alone were enough to make people vomit blood.
This—was the Seventh Gate!
At this point, Guy had stepped beyond the bounds of humanity.
He was closer to—
A tailed beast.
A true humanoid tailed beast.
"Daytime Tiger!!!"
With a thunderous roar, Guy's figure blurred completely!
A gigantic white tiger—formed purely of compressed shockwaves—materialized in an instant!
Like a proud god in the void, it descended with a roar capable of annihilating everything!
ROOOAR!
The deafening howl shook heaven and earth!
In the blink of an eye, it crossed the distance between them and slammed straight into Jin!
Crack.
For the first time ever, Jin's Three-Foot Domain emitted a sound.
A piercing screech—like glass shattering!
Then, one crack… then another—
Milky-white fractures appeared clearly across the surface of the domain!
"What absurd individual power…"
Jin took a deep breath, genuinely admiring it.
"But I'm… not an idiot who just stands still."
Three Feet in Front — Repulsion!
Hum.
Soft moonlight spilled down.
Pure, pale luminescence rippled faintly before him.
And the brilliant small sphere at its center suddenly burst with a bizarre wave.
In that instant, Guy's expression changed dramatically mid-charge.
Pain surged sharply through his fists.
The once surging, unstoppable chakra now felt like it had fallen into a swamp—thick, sticky, unresponsive.
What he found even harder to believe—
Was that the opponent ahead was like a steel wall.
Not only unbreakable, but rebounding everything back!
BOOM!
In the next instant, his body was flung violently away, completely out of control.
Graaah…
The once majestic Daytime Tiger let out a final whimper before abruptly collapsing.
BANG—THUD!
Guy's body slammed straight into the Hokage Tower behind him—
Like a massive cannonball, dead center!
Hum—CRACK!
The barrier around the Hokage Tower had barely lit up before it was instantly erased.
Some of it was the lingering might of Daytime Tiger.
And some of it—
Was that pale, shimmering light.
RUMBLE!
At last, under countless complicated gazes, the Hokage Tower collapsed into ruins.
"So… still useless after all…"
The Third Hokage let out a sigh.
The murky light in his aged eyes dimmed once more.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Yet just as he was about to proceed with the handover—
A faint disturbance suddenly came from within the rubble.
Thump.
Thump!
A heartbeat echoed softly.
Like a giant hammer striking a drum—deep, heavy, powerful!
The sound pierced through stone and dust, hammering into everyone's chest.
Forcing all eyes to turn back.
"Could it be…?"
"Guy! It's Senior Guy—he's alive!"
"Hahaha! As expected of Senior Guy! As expected of the Beast!"
The ANBU elites lifted their heads from the ground, staring at the ruins as strange light burst into their eyes.
A powerhouse.
And a powerhouse on their side—how could anyone not revere that?
BOOM!
The rubble exploded outward!
Countless chunks of stone and splintered wood were blasted away!
From within, a figure slowly rose.
The green steam once surrounding him began to change.
It turned—
Blood red.
As if raging flames had incinerated all the green around his body.
Zzzzt.
From heat—or perhaps power exceeding what his body could bear—
His skin split open.
Drip—sizzle.
Blood seeped out—
Only to be instantly evaporated by the terrifying crimson steam.
At this moment, he looked like a grim reaper walking out of hell.
"Originally… this move… I wanted to save it… for Kakashi…"
His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper grinding together, every word soaked in tearing flesh and blood.
"But now… maybe… you should see it first."
BOOOOOOM—!!!
With those words, a pillar of blood-red light shot straight into the sky!
An indescribably violent energy storm instantly swept across the battlefield!
The air was forcibly pushed aside, forming visible shockwaves!
Nearby ANBU were blown away like scraps of paper.
Crack.
Crack.
The ground shattered and collapsed inch by inch!
And at the very edge of that collapse—
Kakashi, who had just arrived, froze.
He stared at Guy at the center of the devastation, then at the raging shockwaves around him.
Slowly, stiffly, he raised an arm and pointed at himself.
"…Huh? Me?"
