Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: New Mission: Save Sasori of the Red Sand

"You actually caught my Morning Peacock... kid... are you a monster?!"

Might Guy's gaze towards Yuichi became even more solemn.

He looked at the young Yuichi.

To possess such monstrous strength at such a young age.

Might Guy suddenly felt like he was getting old.

He shook his head.

Might Guy gathered his spirits again.

It was just that his Morning Peacock had been blocked.

He was the Blue Beast of Konoha. He couldn't just admit defeat to a kid who hadn't even reached adulthood.

If Morning Peacock didn't work.

If the sixth gate didn't work.

Then he would open the seventh gate.

If the seventh gate didn't work, then... he would open the eighth gate!

In any case, he absolutely couldn't let Yuichi go like this.

Might Guy's gaze was firm.

With his head lowered, a low voice came from his throat.

"To be able to catch my Morning Peacock and remain unharmed."

"To have such strength at your age, you're a truly talented kid."

As he spoke, Might Guy looked up, his eyes filled with an even stronger fighting spirit.

"But don't get too carried away."

"The battle isn't over."

"Next, I'll show you the real Blue Beast."

Slowly raising his arms, Might Guy gently clenched his hands.

The next second, a loud shout!

The fierce roar made Yuichi's eardrums ache.

"Seventh Gate!"

"Gate of Wonder~ Open!"

BOOM!

An invisible shockwave spread out.

The ground around Might Guy cracked.

Dust flew, and thick smoke rose.

Yuichi's eyes suddenly shrank, and the Kāma markings on his body flickered wildly.

His eyes were fixed on Might Guy.

He looked at the blue steam rising from his opponent's body.

The aura erupting from Might Guy's body grew stronger with each wave.

The invisible shockwave it created easily stirred up a storm.

Yuichi's eyes widened slightly.

"Blue steam."

"The last gate before the Gate of Death, the Gate of Wonder... is this its power?!"

Such a terrifying aura, even Yuichi couldn't help but feel shocked.

As expected of the Eight Gates.

No wonder opening all eight gates could instantly grant power that surpassed the Five Kage by more than ten times.

The power erupted from the seventh gate was so terrifying.

He didn't know how terrifying the power of the real eighth gate would be.

Yuichi now also felt a bit of excitement.

"Kid, now I'm going all out!"

"I don't believe you can block this."

BAM!

The moment Might Guy finished speaking, his entire person instantly disappeared.

In a flash.

He turned into a blue phantom and appeared in front of Yuichi.

Yuichi's brows twitched slightly.

'His speed has increased so much!'

At the same time, he raised his hands and crossed them in front of him, blocking Might Guy's sudden punch.

Iron Body was also activated.

BANG!

A fierce sound of an explosion was heard.

This time, the immense force instantly sent Yuichi flying backward.

This force was completely different from the previous Gate of Joy.

It had been enhanced by more than ten times.

Even with Iron Body activated, Yuichi couldn't completely block Might Guy's attack this time.

The moment his arms were attacked, a bone-piercing pain was transmitted.

Enduring the pain, Yuichi did a flip in the air to dissipate the impact and landed steadily.

He looked up and stared at Might Guy.

Might Guy, standing in the distance, saw that Yuichi's arms were unharmed.

He couldn't help but praise.

"Your body is simply harder than steel."

"If it were an ordinary ninja, their hands would have been crippled by that one blow."

Although Yuichi felt pain, he was ultimately fine.

Yuichi shook his numb hands.

"So this is the power of the Blue Beast!"

"It is indeed strong."

Might Guy looked at Yuichi's arrogant attitude. Although he said that, he didn't take him seriously.

"You only blocked one punch. Do you think you can keep blocking them?!"

"How naive, kid!"

Instantly, Might Guy attacked again.

The blue steam from his body sprayed out wildly.

He swung his fist, instantly tearing through the air, and his figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Yuichi.

He threw a punch, which came at Yuichi with an even more terrifying, thunderous momentum.

Yuichi's eyes shrank.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, activating Iron Body.

His arm instantly became like iron.

He also threw a punch with all his strength to meet Might Guy's.

Both fists erupted with an astonishing sound of an explosion in an instant.

The swirling airflow spread rapidly to both sides.

It blew Yuichi's long hair.

The next second.

The fists collided.

A roar suddenly sounded.

It was like the sound of thunder crashing.

CRACK!

An astonishing shockwave surrounded the two of them, sweeping towards the surroundings.

It instantly spread out for dozens of meters.

The ground within a dozen meters all cracked in an instant.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared, and the ground also sank by half a meter.

A ring of dust and smoke appeared more than ten meters away.

The two were in a stalemate for half a second.

Yuichi was suddenly sent flying.

SWOOSH!

Yuichi's body, flying backward, made a sound of breaking the wind.

But the next second, Yuichi suddenly stopped in mid-air.

His body strangely came to a halt.

The Kāma markings on his body flashed with a red light.

A strange power surged within Yuichi's body.

"Amazing! I didn't expect that with the seventh gate open, I'm no match for you in this state."

Sixty percent of the Kāma seal's power was not enough to deal with Might Guy.

Left with no choice, Yuichi decided to use more of the Kāma's power.

The red markings spread across Yuichi's body.

In a blink of an eye, they spread to the left side of his cheek.

Three diagonal Kāma markings flickered with a red light.

It was as if sharp claws had left scratch marks on Yuichi's face.

Feeling the increase in Yuichi's power.

Might Guy was a little surprised.

'This kid's power can be enhanced.'

'He wasn't using his full strength before?!'

This was a bit incredible.

Faced with his six-gate state attack, the opponent actually hadn't used his full strength.

...

Yuichi increased his power by five percent.

Seeing that Yuichi was preparing to attack, Might Guy also focused his attention, wary of his attack.

At the same time, he was secretly preparing to find an opportunity to directly unleash Hirudora and finish Yuichi off in one blow.

Yuichi slowly raised his hand, just as he was about to launch an attack.

The system interface popped up.

[Mission Issued]

[Save your comrade, Sasori of the Red Sand]

[Before Sasori dies, rescue him and bring him away safely]

[Mission Reward: Chakra reserves increased tenfold]

Seeing the mission, Yuichi's action paused.

He was stunned.

An increase in chakra reserves.

This was a reward Yuichi had always wanted.

In his normal state, Yuichi's chakra reserves were not too small, but definitely not large.

Although he had experienced many battles in the past three years.

His chakra reserves had grown to the level of an ordinary jonin.

But most of the time, this little bit of chakra was useless. He had to rely on the power of the Kāma to fight.

But in his Kāma form, ninjutsu was completely unnecessary.

For the Otsutsuki clan, there was no concept of "jutsu."

Having to rely on the power of the Kāma every time he fought.

Made Yuichi feel that his fighting methods were too few.

Especially when the Kāma was not activated, his strength was too weak.

The reward of increased chakra reserves came at just the right time.

Strengthening his combat power in his normal state would not only make Yuichi safer.

But an increase in his own chakra would also make his power in his Kāma form stronger!

The Otsutsuki Isshiki's Kāma in Yuichi's body was like a Tailed Beast.

But the Kāma was more advanced than a Tailed Beast.

His own chakra plus the power of the Kāma, the superposition of these two forces would make Yuichi even stronger
