"It's nothing. Since you want to achieve such a wish, as your friend, I naturally have to help you." Ling's somewhat manipulative words deeply moved Shisui, who then turned to Might and his son and said,
"Hello, I am Uchiha Shisui. Welcome to this training ground. I hope we'll have a chance to spar."
"Yosh! Taijutsu sparring! I love it! Come on!" Might Duy looked impatient, and the Might Guy next to him was also brimming with passion, causing both Shisui and Ling to feel a bit awkward.
"Shisui, how about the four of us have a taijutsu free-for-all? This would be closer to actual combat."
Ling also wanted to fight Might Duy. He estimated that Might Duy, without opening the Eight Gates, should have Chunin-level strength, which is why he could only defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist after opening the Eight Gates.
"Alright, let's do it." As a member of the Uchiha Clan, Shisui was also a battle enthusiast, and a four-person free-for-all sounded great.
"Yosh! This is youth, Guy, do you feel it?" Might Duy's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was loud and enthusiastic.
"Father, I feel it! Youth is burning!" As expected of the Might father and son, their expressions were identical; apart from the lack of a beard, they were practically the same.
"Alright, the moment my Kunai hits the ground, everyone can start attacking those around them freely with taijutsu."
After the four formed the confrontational hand sign, Ling directly threw a Kunai into the air.
The four watched the Kunai fall, and the moment it hit the ground, the four instantly vanished from their original positions, attacking their chosen opponents.
Only the shattered ground and the rising dust remained, showcasing their speed and power.
Ling naturally threw a powerful punch at Might Duy's chest without hesitation, while Might Duy punched his own son, Might Guy attacked Shisui, and Shisui attacked Might Duy.
Thus, only Ling was not attacked. The Might father and son thought a five-year-old girl had no real strength, while Shisui believed the adult was the strongest.
In short, Ling's powerful punch directly produced a sonic boom, causing Might Duy, who was attacking his son, to instantly retract his hand and defend, but he was struck out of the battle circle, causing Might Duy, who had fully released his strength, to plow two furrows in the ground.
The moment Shisui lost his target, he prepared to block and counter Might Guy's flying kick, but he underestimated Might Guy's powerful flying kick.
Before he could counter, he was directly kicked away. Shisui stabilized himself in the air, feeling a sharp pain in his arm, sensing another person with strength comparable to Ling's.
So only Ling and Might Guy remained at the center of the battlefield. However, the moment the two clashed, Might Guy's expression immediately changed, and he was sent flying by Ling's immense strength.
"Yosh! Ling's strength is truly impressive! Is this what a genius is?"
Might Duy rushed back at high speed, unleashing a spinning flying kick that charged towards Ling like a drill.
"I'm not a genius, I just have a bit of strength." Ling stomped on the ground, retreating several steps to dodge the attack.
Three Shuriken appeared in her hand, arcing gracefully, colliding in mid-air, and then directly bypassing Might Duy's difficult-to-defend blind spots.
At this moment, Shisui also threw two Kunai, shooting them towards the attacking Might Guy. They swiftly covered the short distance, forcing Might Guy to block with a Kunai.
What was supposed to be a free-for-all turned into Ling against Might Duy, and Shisui against Might Guy.
After all, there was a difference in strength between the four. Ling and Might Duy were in one tier, while Shisui and Might Guy were in another tier.
"Yosh! What impressive Shuriken throwing! As expected of the Uchiha Clan! But don't underestimate me, Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
Although these Shuriken attacks were extremely tricky, Might Duy swept his leg horizontally from his position, and the burst of Chakra wind directly deflected the Shuriken.
"Is this the Leaf Strong Whirlwind?" Ling's Sharingan rotated, clearly seeing the Chakra flow of this technique.
It was a pure burst of Chakra, where incredible physical prowess was used to unleash Chakra explosively. While it couldn't compare to the precise control of Gentle Fist.
However, if precise control wasn't possible, then one simply didn't control it, allowing the Chakra to move with the body and burst forth explosively the moment it left the body. This could split mountains and shatter rocks, fully demonstrating the ferocity of this technique.
"I've learned it!" A charming smile blossomed on Ling's lips, and then, facing the approaching Leaf Strong Whirlwind, she suddenly leaped up.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!" Although Ling's Chakra was not as wild and vast as Might Duy's, it was still extremely formidable.
This was because Ling had incorporated the wildness of wind from her understanding of wind nature transformation.
This kick unleashed a burst of Chakra wind directly mixed with countless tiny, violent wind blades, comparable to even a C-rank Ninjutsu.
"What a genius! She learned it with just one demonstration, and she can even innovate!"
Might Duy didn't mind others learning the taijutsu he developed, as it wasn't very refined yet, and someone learning it also represented recognition of his taijutsu.
It meant his persistence was not wrong, his youth was not wasted, and he wasn't the useless trash Genin others mocked.
"Uncle Duy, your taijutsu is truly amazing." Ling genuinely praised him, comparing it to later techniques like Reverse Lotus, Front Lotus, Morning Peacock, and Daytime Tiger.
Although these were developed by Might Guy, the foundation for all of them lay in the Eight Gates that Might Duy had painstakingly developed throughout his life.
Bang~ The two Leaf Strong Whirlwinds collided, emitting a loud bang, followed by a powerful airflow that erupted between them, forming a violent gale that swept away the surrounding trees and rocks, sending them flying in all directions.
A massive cloud of dust rose, like a mushroom cloud, rapidly spreading out and directly engulfing the forest.
Within the dust, two figures could vaguely be seen fiercely clashing. Their movements were as fast as lightning, each attack unleashing a massive roar, accompanied by the sounds of trees breaking and the ground shattering.
As the battle continued, the dust grew thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to see what was happening inside.
In the dust, the ground was smashed into large pits, and countless shattered rocks flew into the air, then crashed back down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Might Guy and Shisui, seeing this, quickly retreated far away to avoid being affected by the residual waves carried by the air currents.
They looked at the dust in front of them, marveling at the intensity of the battle. Even battles between Jonin were not much more than this, let alone the fact that the two were only fighting with taijutsu.
"So strong! Is Father really that powerful?" This was also the first time Might Guy had seen Duy fight at full strength. Before, the father and son had only completed D-rank missions within the village.
It wasn't that they didn't want to do higher-level missions, but no one was willing to team up with them, believing they only knew taijutsu and would be a burden.
"Is this Father's youth? I understand! I will also bloom! Ugh! Definitely!" Might Guy was extremely excited, as if he had seen a guiding light, found his direction forward, and would no longer be lost.
