Aoki Yoru, who was sensing everything from afar, suddenly stumbled. "Good grief, opening the Gate of Death? You're trying to send Kakashi off with a single kick."
That kick was something even Six Paths Madara could barely withstand.
At that moment, Lee encouraged from the side, "Don't worry, Guy-sensei! I believe you can fight Kakashi-sensei well even without opening the Gate of Death."
"Well said, Lee! As long as you train hard, you can definitely catch up to those geniuses."
"I've decided! Starting tomorrow, I'll run five thousand laps around Konoha every day. I'll challenge Kakashi next month. Right now we're tied at 50-50, but I will take the lead again!"
"Guy-sensei, I believe you can do it!"
The two then hugged and wept loudly, a scene in sharp contrast to the giants facing off in the distance.
Everyone else present moved a few steps away, wanting to distance themselves from these two "rare beasts"; it was truly an eyesore.
Tenten even lowered her head, wanting to disassociate herself from them. It was too embarrassing.
Neji's veins bulged around his eyes, and his breathing grew heavy, showing his inner turmoil.
"If I could reach this level of strength, could I break free from the shackles of the Caged Bird?"
"No, I definitely will."
Neji's gaze gradually became determined.
Since incorporating Guy's Strong Fist and Chakra natures into his Taijutsu, he had found his own path.
Although others in the Hyuga Clan whispered that his style wasn't the Gentle Fist.
But Neji didn't care about those frogs in a well; their vision was limited, and they couldn't see the vast sky.
Especially in the last two years, his Byakugan seemed to have suddenly awakened; he could see further and further, and sometimes it even carried a faint pressure.
Though he didn't know why, he knew it was a good thing. The Main House should have records, but he kept it in his heart and didn't speak of it.
Despite this, he was still helpless against the Caged Bird on his forehead.
It was like a parasite that couldn't be removed, seemingly grown into his soul, following him closely.
"I'll ask Senior Ye next time and see if he has a solution."
"If even he doesn't..."
Thinking of this, Neji's gaze suddenly became dangerous.
Kakashi looked at Aoki Yoru with a serious expression; he knew the terror of Natural Energy.
Usually, just channeling a small amount of Natural Energy into a Ninjutsu could double its power.
Let alone such a massive amount of Natural Energy; even he and Jiraiya couldn't achieve that.
'When exactly did Yoru master Natural Energy?'
Kakashi grew even more curious about this student; he was hiding too much.
Immediately, Kakashi mobilized all his Chakra and Natural Energy to make the Raijin more solid.
Then, the lightning giant raised its Lightning Blade and slashed down with force.
"Boom—"
Two of the Guanyin's hands came together in a prayer position, firmly catching the falling Lightning Blade. Lightning sparked in the palms, but they didn't budge.
But just as Kakashi's old strength was spent and new strength hadn't yet gathered, a third Guanyin hand suddenly reached out from the side, striking toward his Raijin giant with the weight of Mount Tai.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately condensed a new Lightning Blade from the other giant hand to block the incoming Guanyin palm.
"Clang—"
"Not bad, right?"
Aoki Yoru crossed his arms over his chest and praised him. "However, what will you do about the next hand?"
A fourth hand was already slamming toward Kakashi.
Seeing the giant hand approaching, the Mangekyo Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye instantly began to spin.
"Kamui!"
Suddenly, amidst a spatial distortion, the Guanyin arm was twisted off and disappeared.
Seeing the incoming arm dealt with, Kakashi didn't look relieved; instead, he panted heavily.
Using powerful moves consecutively had drained his Chakra to the bottom.
He looked at the One Hundred-Type Guanyin with a grim expression. "Surely not every arm has the same power?"
Aoki Yoru looked at Kakashi's state and knew the battle was about to end.
He then gave a playful smile: "Let me show you the despair Uchiha Madara felt when facing Senju Hashirama's 'True Several Thousand Hands: Summit Enlightened Biblical Strike'."
In the next second, the hundred giant arms of the One Hundred-Type Guanyin moved simultaneously, a storm of fist shadows bombarding Kakashi.
Kakashi's lightning giant raised its sword to block, but every strike carried a force equal to his Raijin form; the layers of fist shadows were impossible to defend against.
The Lightning Style Armor shattered bit by bit under the continuous heavy blows, and the lightning sword was snapped in two. Within moments, the entire Raijin form was completely crushed.
"Boom—"
A huge cloud of dust rose over the battlefield.
After a long time, the battlefield finally returned to peace, and people could finally see the situation.
"Huff... huff..."
Kakashi propped himself up with his ninja sword, panting heavily.
Maintaining the high-intensity Raijin battle had exhausted his Chakra.
Especially when the Raijin was forcibly broken by Aoki Yoru, it caused him to suffer a backlash.
"Kakashi-sensei, are you okay?"
Kakashi took a deep breath, calmed his chaotic Chakra, and stood up.
"In the end, I still didn't force out your trump card!"
Aoki Yoru gave him a speechless look: "The 'One Hundred-Type Guanyin' is my trump card."
Kakashi simply closed his mask to cover the Sharingan, revealing his usual dead-fish eyes with a chuckle.
"That was your trump card two years ago, not now."
He knew this student too well; after two years, there was no way he hadn't progressed.
He definitely had some hidden ace up his sleeve.
"Whoosh—"
Tsunade and the others appeared beside them.
Looking at the two, she said with satisfaction, "Not bad. Your strength has surpassed ours. You are qualified to inherit the title of Hokage."
Aoki Yoru gave her a look of disbelief. "Just how badly do you want to get rid of the Hokage position?"
"What? Granny Tsunade, the position of Hokage will definitely be mine, Uzumaki Naruto's!"
Hearing this, Naruto immediately started shouting.
Gaara was already the Kazekage; he couldn't fall behind.
"Pow—"
A fair fist sent Naruto flying.
Veins popped on Tsunade's forehead. "Who are you calling 'granny'?"
Aoki Yoru looked at Naruto foaming at the mouth in the distance, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his face.
"I wonder if Jiraiya can handle this violent woman?"
...
Kamui Dimension.
Obito, charred black with his hair standing on end, was throwing a tantrum inside, cursing Kakashi incessantly.
Poor guy—a few minutes ago, he was in the dimension eating hotpot and singing songs when a giant lightning arm suddenly appeared.
As soon as that arm entered the dimension, it went wild, and he didn't even have time to dodge.
Then, just when he thought it was over, a golden arm was sent in.
This arm went berserk the moment it entered, causing a massive explosion. If he hadn't transferred it out in time, he might have been killed.
Only that bastard Kakashi could have done this.
Ever since he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, all sorts of random things had been sent here.
Especially tissues; they were piled up like a mountain.
Even if someone had diarrhea every day, they wouldn't use that much toilet paper!
