A trace of disdain appeared on Yuichi's face.
The hand that gripped Might Guy's fist was like an iron clamp, holding it firmly.
When the surrounding airflow returned to calm.
Might Guy was still in the posture of having thrown a punch.
His originally ferocious face was filled with astonishment.
After a long time.
He finally opened his clenched jaw.
And said with difficulty.
"Impossible!"
"How could you block my six-gate attack!"
No ninjutsu, no techniques.
He just raised his hand and easily caught his fist.
Even though Might Guy had never thought his attacks were invincible.
They could absolutely not be blocked so lightly.
The Eight Gates, which he was so proud of, could not be blocked so easily.
If Yuichi had used ninjutsu, or accelerated to dodge.
He could have accepted it.
But Yuichi's action of easily stopping his fist.
Made Might Guy's mind tremble violently.
Looking at the shocked Might Guy.
Yuichi smiled.
The defense of Iron Body was indeed good.
Even Might Guy's attacks in his six-gate state couldn't break the defense of Iron Body.
As expected of Iron Body after a tenfold multiplier.
But Might Guy didn't know that Yuichi had used the Iron Body technique the moment he caught his fist.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to understand such a technique.
Because its principle was beyond his comprehension.
Yuichi let go of Might Guy's fist.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you scared!"
Might Guy, who was in a state of shock.
Suddenly snapped back to his senses.
His dazed gaze regained its spirit.
He muttered.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible. The Eight Gates can't be blocked so easily."
As he spoke, Might Guy's eyes began to turn bloodshot.
Blood vessels spread throughout his eyes.
VMM!
The green energy on Might Guy's body instantly dissipated.
His body began to turn even more crimson.
His blood was circulating rapidly.
The green light disappeared, but the next second, Might Guy suddenly leaped up.
He jumped into the sky.
VMM!
The ground suddenly sank, forming a large crater.
Immediately after, a storm spread out from the ground, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
Yuichi took a few steps back to avoid the dust.
He looked up at the airborne Might Guy.
"I have never met an enemy who could block my attack in the Gate of Joy state so easily."
"Akatsuki kid, do you dare to try again?!"
"Let's see if you can block my next move!"
Might Guy's eyes were wide with anger as he stared deadly at Yuichi.
Seeing his fists placed at his waist, ready to strike.
Yuichi's gaze narrowed, and he raised his hand to lightly pat the white dust off the corner of his clothes.
"Alright!"
Seeing that he had indeed agreed.
Might Guy suddenly grit his teeth.
"If you die! Don't blame me. You asked for it!"
"Cut the crap! Come on!"
As Yuichi's voice fell.
Might Guy's fists, which were placed at his waist, suddenly shot out like cannonballs.
He punched hard at Yuichi from a distance.
The killing intent in Might Guy's eyes was as sharp as a sword.
As the punches were thrown, under the terrifying speed of his fists.
The friction with the air produced flames.
Flames erupted from Might Guy's fists, forming fireballs.
They shot towards Yuichi from a distance.
After one fireball appeared, a series of flames erupted.
A rain of fire fell from the sky.
"Morning Peacock!"
"Ah~ Da da da..."
Might Guy roared.
In the blink of an eye, it was like a meteor shower, suddenly descending!
Yuichi looked up at the sky, at the flames filling the sky!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What a terrifying technique!
To be able to use the flames produced by the friction between his fists and the air for an attack.
Such a technique could be called an art.
In the air, Might Guy's fists turned into countless afterimages.
He swung them wildly.
Each punch would produce a ball of flame.
That blasted towards Yuichi.
Looking at the fireballs shooting towards him.
These flames were different from ordinary Fire Style jutsu.
They were naturally produced flames.
Yuichi couldn't absorb them even in his Kāma form.
The speed of the flames was too fast.
Right now, Yuichi could only see if Iron Body could block them.
The moment Iron Body was activated.
The flames also slammed into Yuichi's body.
BAM!
With a loud bang, the flames exploded.
Immediately after, countless flames followed.
They bombarded Yuichi wildly.
In an instant, hundreds of flames hit Yuichi.
Under the rain of fire, the ground below was impacted by the flames and instantly torn apart.
Craters were smashed into the ground.
Dense cracks appeared, connecting to form what looked like a giant spiderweb.
Dust and flames intertwined.
Yuichi's figure had long been swallowed.
After the continuous attack lasted for several tens of seconds.
Might Guy finally stopped.
When the last batch of fiery rain fell from the sky.
The ground was completely like it had been carpet-bombed.
It had been completely reduced to ruins under the attack of the Morning Peacock.
After landing, Might Guy panted lightly.
He looked up at the billowing dust and smoke before him.
"You couldn't have blocked that blow, right! Kid!"
Morning Peacock was a finishing move that Might Guy was proud of.
If hit head-on by this blow, Might Guy was confident he could even severely injure the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade.
Not to mention the Yuichi before him, who, although had some strength, was just a kid the same age as Lee.
Rustle~
Suddenly, the faint sound of footsteps was heard.
Might Guy suddenly focused his attention and looked at the place where the dust was slowly dissipating.
A black shadow stepped out.
"A truly powerful attack."
As he spoke, Yuichi's figure walked out from the dust and smoke.
The Akatsuki cloak on his body was tattered.
Yuichi casually tore off the cloak and tossed it aside.
He was bare-armed, wearing black trousers and ninja shoes.
He gently rotated his arm.
Yuichi looked at Might Guy with a calm expression.
"I was almost injured!"
As his voice fell.
Might Guy froze in place.
He was utterly shocked.
He opened his mouth and looked at Yuichi in horror.
He couldn't believe that even the Morning Peacock he had unleashed with the Gate of Joy open had been blocked.
And the opponent was completely unharmed.
What was going on?
Was this guy's body harder than steel?!
Yuichi's cloak had been torn off.
There wasn't even a single scratch on the body underneath.
His attack was completely useless.
Seeing Might Guy's expression, Yuichi was delighted.
The defensive effect of Iron Body was beyond his expectations.
Originally, Yuichi was prepared to be burned. If he really couldn't block it, he would have to activate Kāma Stage Two.
And shrink himself to dodge the attack.
But when the first blow hit Yuichi, who had activated Iron Body, he felt nothing at all.
It seemed that after being enhanced tenfold by the system, Iron Body...
...could not only defend against physical impacts but also had a ridiculously high defense against energy-type attacks.
The flames produced by Might Guy's punches...
...their temperature was not high, not as good as a real Fire Style jutsu.
But the strength of the Morning Peacock was not just the flames, but the powerful impact.
After all, it was a taijutsu-type technique, the power within the flames.
