nSilent...

nDead silent...

nNo one knew who started to gulp, but gulping sounds rang out one after another.

n

"Patriarch, this...

"

nIn the Hyūga clan, the elder had a dry mouth as he looked at Hyūga Hiashi, who had reappeared in the clan..

nHe felt that today must be a miserable day for the Hyūga clan.

nA few minutes ago, there were problems with the Byakugan, on which the Hyūga clan's name depended. And now, the status of the taijutsu, Gentle Fist, which the Hyūga clan relied on to fight, was also in jeopardy.

nThey, the Hyūga clan, were the largest clan in Konoha on the surface.

nThe reason for this was that the elder wasn't sure if the current Hyūga clan was as strong as the Sarutobi clan.

nThey, the Hyūga, rely on the Byakugan and Gentle Fist as their best skills for survival.

nNow, having seen Might Guy's combat powers...

nHe felt desperate.

n'The differences are like heaven and earth!'

n'Even if we used Byakugan's Secret Technique ...'

n'Even the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms...'

n'Even Hinata's Eight Trigrams Twin Lion Surging Shot...'

nAll of the Hyūga clan's famous taijutsu passed one by one in the elder's mind. He didn't think that any of them could be a match against the Morning Peacock.

nNot to mention that Daytime Tiger!

nJust from seeing the tiger's head on the screen, the Hyūga elder knew how powerful this technique really was!

nAs it shot off, the arena in the video had been overturned by its raging chakra and then collided with the Mizukage, Terumī Mei...

nThere was no rival to this taijutsu technique!

n'Perhaps, only the Raikage's Lightning Style Armor could compete with it, right?'

nThe elder's heart was full of shock. He looked at Hyūga Hiashi, who was silently standing beside him.

nHe saw Hyūga Hiashi's expression looked calm, his eyes fluctuating, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

n...

n

"Mizukage-sama?

"

nTerumī Mei's figure suddenly appeared in Kirigakure. When Ao saw her, he rushed to greet her.

n

"Do you know what kind of taijutsu Might Guy was using?

"

n

"Eight Gates!

"

n

"Eight Gates?

"

nTerumī Mei nodded gently. Her pair of beautiful eyes were glowing.

nSeeing this, Ao was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard Terumī Mei ask:

n

"How many people in Kirigakure saw me lose the battle?

"

n

"Uh ...

"

nAo froze for a moment, then hastily spoke without even blinking:

n

"There shouldn't be much. At this time, everyone is watching the other people...

"

n...

n

"Konoha's Might Guy... how is he so strong?

"

n

"What is that jutsu? Daytime Tiger? I'm afraid that even ordinary forbidden arts don't have such power, right?

"

n

"He only used two taijutsu techniques to kill Shimura Danzō, the Hokage advisor. And now used two techniques to kill the Mizukage, in seconds! He's too strong!

"

n

"That said, he should have reached his limit as well, right? Such strength, I think, he's already much stronger than the average Kage.

"

n

"Quick, look, the Kazekage's advisor from Sunagakure. She's here!

"

nSeeing Chiyo's figure appear beside the arena, the group of people in the shinobi world suddenly got excited.

nChiyo was a veteran powerhouse, a master of poison and puppetry, famous throughout the shinobi world!

n

"Ugh? Why did she stop? Wait! She isn't choosing to participate in the challenge?!

"

nThe group was puzzled when they saw Chiyo come to a sudden halt in front of the duel arena.

n'Why did she stop?'

n'Is she ... Scared?'

nHowever, that shouldn't have happened. She couldn't see the live broadcast while in the exam and couldn't see the battle in the arena at all.

n'Could it be that she was already aware of Might Guy's strength?'

n...

n

"You're not going in?

"

nŌnoki, who had jogged all the way to the arena, saw Chiyo's old eyes were closed and frowned slightly.

nHe wasn't sure what Chiyo was doing here and what tricks she was trying to pull.

nBut judging from the other party's behavior during the make-up exam, the fact that Chiyo was still standing here surely couldn't be because of fear.

nŌnoki looked around a few times, and suddenly, his heart moved.

n

"How many people went in?

"

nHearing his words, Chiyo smiled slightly. She was obviously prepared for Ōnoki's question.

n

"When I first came, the Mizukage had already entered...

"

n

"Now... 3 minutes have passed.

"

n

"Hahaha, the Mizukage? She's just a pretty vase!

"

n

"It seems that the burden of defeating the Chosen One will have to fall on my Iwagakure.

"

n

"Ōnoki-sama, it's time for the rest of the shinobi world to see what you're made of!

"

n

"Haha, that's right, let them witness the strength of the older generation Kage-level powerhouse!

"

n...

nUnlike the shock in various parts of the shinobi world, in Iwagakure, a group of people looked gleefully at Ōnoki, who entered the duel arena from Chiyo's side.

n'Might Guy is indeed very strong!'

n'Both his taijutsu and his two splendid taijutsu techniques look strong.'

n'However, compared with our Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, he is still too immature.'

n'Our Third Tsuchikage-sama had the terrifying Dust Release, especially the Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.'

nAs soon as a hit was landed, all objects would directly turn into atoms.

n'What was even more frightening was that the Bloodline Limit controlled by the Third Tsuchikage wasn't just a Bloodline Limit. Rather, it was a Bloodline Limit that overrides a Bloodline Limit, the Bloodline Selection!'

n(Translator: Kekkei Tōta = Bloodline selection. Kekkei Genkai = Bloodline Limit.)

n'Coupled with the rich combat experience and combat quality from our Tsuchikage-sama, if Might Guy was just at that level...'

n'He's sure to lose!'

n'It was very likely that Ōnoki-sama would kill him in seconds!'

n'He won't even get the chance to make any waves!'

nPeople understood that the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of Iwagakure, the oldest Kage, naturally had his uniqueness.

nHe wasn't only a vase like the Mizukage, who would allow Might Guy to beat him.

nNow, Might Guy was in front of the Third Tsuchikage. He was the one who was going to get beaten!

n...

n

"Grandpa ...

"

nIn Amegakure, Kurotsuchi watched her grandfather nervously.

nShe didn't get the qualifications to take the exam, so she didn't enter the exam space.

nAnd that's exactly why she witnessed Might Guy's power from the beginning to end.

n'He only needed seconds to kill Shimura Danzō; even his jutsu was useless...'

n'He also took seconds to kill the Mizukage, with only two techniques. They look like taijutsu techniques...'

nKurotsuchi felt as if Might Guy hadn't pulled out all he had yet.

nMoreover, she had a vague sense of foreboding.

nAs if, later, Might Guy would come up with a new technique to defeat her grandfather.

n'There must be a reason for the exam space to set Might Guy as the Chosen One, perhaps...'

n'It doesn't want anyone to win!'

nThinking about it, Kurotsuchi jolted in shock.

nShe looked at the imposing Might Guy on the screen with a bit of horror.

n'Is he currently...'

n'The strongest person in the shinobi world?'

n...

n

"Iwagakure's, Ōnoki, here to challenge.

"

nEntering the arena, Ōnoki waved at Might Guy from a distance.

nIf Might Guy were just an ordinary Jōnin, Ōnoki naturally wouldn't be so polite.

nHowever, the other party could defeat Terumī Mei, the Mizukage, and possessed Kage-level abilities, so naturally, it was a different story.

n

"Konoha's Might Guy.

"

n

"Mm-hmm.

"

nŌnoki smiled, using Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique he floated in the air, and then said:

n

"I know you; you're on the exam space list. The number one taijutsu user in the shinobi world.

"

nAfter saying that, as if to draw out the other's temper:

n

"The Fourth Raikage also said that he wanted to have a match with you to see who could actually get the title of number one taijutsu user.

"

n

"Unfortunately...

"

nŌnoki's voice was slightly stretched out. Behind his back, he quickly began to form seals with his hands.

n

"You would be defeated by me first!

"

n

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!

"
