On the field, Might Guy and Might Day, one green and one blue, rushed towards Kiyoshi from the left and right sides at the same time, like two shooting stars.
Fists and kicks clashed, each strike powerful enough to shatter stone tablets and break tree trunks. The grass churned and dust billowed as they attacked.
However, with just the slightest movement of his body, a tilt of his head, and a step, Kiyoshi managed to deflect countless deadly attacks by the narrowest of margins.
"Then, I'll start using Eight Gates too."
Qingsi said calmly.
He's about to increase the intensity.
Kiyoshi exhaled softly and said:
"Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock, open!"
His chakra was unleashed like a torrent, and blue steam billowed from his entire body.
That aura was far more exaggerated than that of Might Guy, who also opened all seven gates.
If Might Guy's body is enveloped in blue steam, then Kiyoshi's is like a pillar of light shooting into the sky!
Chapter 419 The Three Snake Queens: To Be Xu Xian or a Rogue Hero?
The bluish-green steam emanating from Kiyoshi created a terrifying air pressure.
The air within a radius of tens of meters seemed to be compressed and deformed, and dust, fallen leaves, and gravel were all pulled up.
"Eight Gates" is a taijutsu technique that uses percentage-based bonuses.
In other words, the stronger an individual's base stats are, the stronger the power they can unleash.
For example, the final gate of death that Might Guy opens after burning out his life force is also known as the "Eight Gates Formation".
In the original story, he fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone. In the end, only Juzo Biwa, Hozuki Suigetsu, and Raiga Kurosuki managed to escape. The other four were killed in the battle, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen became the Three Ninja Swordsmen.
However, when Might Guy opens the Gate of Death, he can kick Madara Rokudo half to death.
Even though other characters play support roles, it still shows that Might Guy's potential for explosive power is much higher than Might Dai's.
If Might Guy had used the Death Gate against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, probably none of them would have survived.
Might Guy and Dai's expressions instantly turned to surprise upon seeing Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi's imposing presence instantly overshadowed the layer of blue steam emanating from Matt Dai's body.
The air distorted violently around the beam of light, emitting a low hum. Just by standing there, the oppressive aura emanating from Kiyoshi caused the ground beneath his feet to crack inch by inch.
"This is the seventh gate of the Kiyoshi..."
Matt Dai's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the enormous difference in quantity and quality between the two gates of shock.
"Dad, let's go together!"
Might Guy roared, suppressing the shock in his heart. Green steam erupted again, and he and his father, one on the left and one on the right, transformed into two streaks of light, launching a storm-like attack.
"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"
"Power Prelude!"
Faced with the father and son duo whose speed and strength had surged once again, Kiyoshi finally held nothing back.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and his figure blurred instantly.
boom!
With a loud bang, he struck first despite being behind, directly using his shoulder to deflect Might Guy's fierce kick, while simultaneously throwing a backhand punch that collided with Might Guy's powerful fist capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
The shockwave exploded in a ring, and Matt Day felt an irresistible force, causing him to slide backward uncontrollably, carving deep furrows in the ground.
"What a powerful force!"
Matt Day shook his numb arm.
Kiyoshi did not pursue, but quickly shifted to the side, just avoiding a heavy punch from Might Guy coming from the side. At the same time, his left hand shot out like lightning, his five fingers slightly bent, not to make a direct collision, but to precisely grab Guy's wrist.
"what?!"
Matt Kai was startled and tried to break free, but found that Kiyoshi's fingers were like iron clamps, making it difficult for him to move for a moment.
Kiyoshi used the momentum of Kai's charge to lift his entire body up, like wielding a human club, and smash it hard against Might Guy, who had just regained his footing!
"Kai!"
Matt Day let out a low shout, not daring to take the hit head-on, and suddenly leaped backward with both legs.
boom!
Matt Kai was slammed to the ground, sending up clouds of dust.
However, he flipped over and jumped up in a somersault, and apart from being a little disheveled, he was unharmed, demonstrating the physical prowess of a martial arts expert.
"We cannot give him the opportunity to defeat them one by one."
Matt Day, with his extensive experience, instantly assessed the situation.
"Kai, use that move."
"understand!"
The father and son exchanged glances, a tacit understanding arising spontaneously. They no longer attacked separately, but moved simultaneously at high speed, their figures intertwined, forming a green ring of afterimages around Kiyoshi. Their speed was so extreme that it seemed as if countless Might Guys and Might Guys were launching attacks at the same time.
"Leaf Gale!"
"Konoha Bad Iwasho!"
"Shadow Leaf Dance!"
"Double Rising Dragon!"
Fists, feet, elbows, knees... every part of his body became the most deadly weapon, attacking Kiyoshi from all directions like a storm.
Kiyoshi remained calm.
Matt Day's punch, powerful enough to shatter rocks, grazed his cheek.
Matt Kai's powerful downward kick was narrowly avoided by him, the force of the kick cutting a crack in the ground beneath his feet.
Bang bang bang!
The dense sounds of impact blended together, like thousands of firecrackers exploding at the same time.
In the core area where the three were fighting, the ground was completely unrecognizable. Soil was churning, gravel was flying everywhere, and smoke and chakra vapor mixed together to form a blurry area. Only three figures colliding at high speed and shockwaves that kept exploding could be vaguely seen.
Naruto, watching from afar, stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and exclaimed:
"Wow...so fast, I can't even see it! Is this what physical combat is all about? This is unbelievable!"
Sasuke held his breath, trying to capture the extraordinary movement.
However, even his afterimage was difficult to discern.
On the field, the Mitchell father and son grew increasingly heavy-hearted as they struggled to break through the defense.
They had pushed their speed and strength to their current limits, and their teamwork was perfect, yet they still couldn't break through Kiyoshi's defenses.
"It's not over yet, Kiyoshi!"
Matt Day suddenly took a half step back, his arm muscles bulging, and blue steam frantically gathered towards his fists.
"Take this... Day Tiger!"
He slammed his fists forward, and a massive amount of chakra condensed into a blurry white tiger head shape, unleashing a deafening roar as it hurtled towards Kiyoshi!
This is his white tiger-shaped air cannon, and it's the strongest attack he can unleash while in the Shock Gate state.
At the same time, Matt Kai understood perfectly, and he cooperated with his father's "Day Tiger" from another angle.
"Towards the peacock!"
"Matt Kai shouted."
His fists became afterimages, blasting through the air at speeds beyond the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.
The blazing flames were born from extreme friction, like countless burning meteorites, covering all the space in front of Kiyoshi where he could dodge, as magnificent as a peacock spreading its tail.
Faced with the combined attack of the father and son, which was exerting all their strength, a hint of seriousness finally flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes.
He slightly lowered his body, then suddenly exerted force with both feet. The ground beneath his feet could not bear the weight and made a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Countless spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the hard mud ground and spread out.
His right arm then retracted to his waist, the movement as steady as a fully drawn bowstring.
The twisting of the waist and hips causes the power of the entire body's muscle groups to gather and accumulate like a tide.
Then, he threw a punch.
This punch, under everyone's gaze, was incredibly slow.
Every subtle movement, the rotation of the shoulders and elbows, the stretching of the muscles, is so clear that it's as if time has been deliberately stretched out.
However, within this extreme "slowness" lies a "fastness" that defies common sense.
"Daddy, be careful!"
Matt Kai's pupils contracted sharply as he gave a warning.
He had witnessed Kiyoshi's seemingly slow but terrifying fist technique. It was not a single punch, but the product of countless fist shadows superimposed and compressed in an instant.
It surpasses the limits of visual perception, like hundreds of impacts blasted out in an instant by a super-high-speed pile driver, ultimately condensing into this seemingly slow but actually devastating blow!
Wherever the fist strikes, the air is compressed and rubbed together, and blazing flames ignite out of thin air, bursting forth with a deafening roar!
Unlike Mighty's dazzling "Morning Peacock" that resembles a peacock spreading its tail, Kiyoshi's fist burst forth with flames that, with a roar, transformed into a ferocious and majestic fire dragon head!
The dragon roared and charged forward fiercely!
boom!
The moment the roaring white tiger's head made contact with the fiery dragon's head, it crumbled like a fragile bubble, turning into chaotic air currents that scattered and impacted in all directions.
Following closely behind, the blazing fireballs that Might Guy unleashed were also instantly dispersed and swallowed up by the domineering dragon head impact, like fireflies meeting the scorching sun, without even causing a ripple.
Might Guy and Might Guy knelt on the ground, slightly out of breath, their bodies bearing the marks of battle, their eyes filled with shock.
They had tried everything they could, but still couldn't shake Kiyoshi's power.
Kiyoshi remained standing in the same spot, the blue light pillar around him only slightly dimmed, his aura still steady and long.
He slowly lowered his fist, looked at the father and son before him, and calmly said:
"A brilliant teamwork! Your powerful punches have reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but..."
Kiyoshi did not continue speaking.
Those are Might Guy and Might Dai, father and son. Without opening the Gate of Death, their strength is indeed a bit lacking.
But once the gate to death is opened, lives are needed to pay the price.
They were just having a friendly competition; there was no need for such a fuss.
However, Kiyoshi's proposed method could not be implemented.
Matt Day and Matt Kai knelt on the ground, their chests heaving violently, sweat mixed with dust sliding down their foreheads.
This is a side effect of overloading the "Eight Gates Formation".
Every battle ends with this price to pay.
The more doors there are, the longer the recovery time will be.
"As expected... it still doesn't work."
Matt Daly gave a wry smile, but there was no discouragement in his eyes; instead, a more intense flame burned within them.
"Kiyoshi, your seventh gate has already gone far ahead of us."
The violent blue light pillars surrounding Qing Si slowly subsided, eventually turning into fine blue steam swirling around his body.
He looked at the father and son before him, who, though exhausted, remained determined, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
“No, Mr. Dai, Kai, your teamwork is already outstanding, bringing out the full potential of the ‘momentum’ and ‘power’ of the Gangquan.”
He changed the subject and continued:
"But the power of the Eight Gates may not only have one path: complete destruction. I've recently come up with some new ideas on how to avoid that inevitable backlash."
He slowly raised his right hand, palm up, as if sensing the flow of air.
