Bloodline Limit - Chapter 495
“Guy!” Kakashi exclaimed anxiously. The technique “Daytime Tiger” was the seventh gate’s secret taijutsu, extremely powerful and fast. However, this was almost the full opening of the Eight Gates, putting a huge strain on the body.
During his battle with Kurenai, Guy, after using this attack, had to rest for almost two weeks to fully recover. Now, in order to maximize the power of this move and continually adapt his body, Guy had put in significant effort. Despite this, Kakashi still worried about whether Guy’s body could handle such intense training.
“Roar!”
A roaring sound resembling that of a tiger’s echoed in the air. The Daytime Tiger, unleashed by Guy, fiercely struck Ryoha. The tremendous pressure erupted in an instant, even though they were in mid-air. The shockwave from the impact area caused all the buildings below to collapse. The aftermath of the collision generated terrifying shockwaves.
“A perfectly combined strike of speed and strength, but still not enough.” After the dazzling and devastating glare from the collision disappeared, Ryoha’s voice, which was enough to shatter one’s spirit, resounded. Kakashi looked up.
He found that Ryoha had actually blocked Guy’s powerful strike, grabbing Guy’s fist with one hand. This was different from the situation with Kurenai before. Back then, Kurenai had cleverly dodged and countered using the leverage of her strength, but now Ryoha had directly blocked Guy’s strongest attack.
“I respect and acknowledge you.” Guy did not feel discouraged; instead, he revealed a somewhat bitter smile. He thought Ryoha would dodge, but unexpectedly, Ryoha directly intercepted the attack head-on. He accepted his defeat.
“Do you know? You are one of the people I admire. Perhaps your strength cannot be ranked among the pinnacle of the ninja world, but your perseverance and efforts are something I truly admire. It’s a pity that we are enemies.”
Ryoha twisted his right hand, causing Guy’s uncontrollable body to lean forward. At the same time, a severe pain surged through his stomach. An indescribable force directly blasted into his abdomen, turning him into a shooting star that plunged into the earth.
“Is he really a human?” Shima looked at Ryoha descending from the sky. He practically faced off against the entire strong force of Konoha alone, playing with them without engaging in a serious fight. He didn’t display much of his strength, yet there were hardly a few individuals who could match him.
“Do I need to believe the old man’s words a little now? Perhaps this time, his prediction wasn’t just a sleepy muttering.” Shima left behind some nervous cold sweat. Honestly, she hadn’t experienced this kind of nervous feeling in many years.
“Is no one coming? Tenten, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Sakura, let’s go together. There’s nothing to worry about. Just do what you have to.” Ryoha looked at his former five classmates hesitating there and couldn’t help but say to them.
“I’m sorry, Fang Wolf Fang!”
“Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!”
“Hidden Weapon: Flashing Kunai!”
“Eight Trigrams Palm: Breakthrough!”
“Monstrous Strength Fist!”
The five former classmates members exchanged glances and, gritting their teeth, each unleashed their own specialties and charged towards Ryoha. Faced with the flying projectiles, Ryoha didn’t need to act. The darkness guardian, like a sea dragon, directly swallowed and devoured them.
However, Ryoha himself blocked the Eight Trigrams Palm: Breakthrough, and simultaneously countered with the same technique, striking back at Neji. Neji immediately used his Byakugan’s rotation, but Ryoha’s Breakthrough broke through it, and the remaining force sent him flying.
“Amaterasu.” Ryoha’s Mangekyo Sharingan, the Dark Rinne Sharingan, not only preserved the previous eye’s abilities but also enhanced them many times over. The new abilities of the Rinne Sharingan included covering the previous eye’s properties with the power of darkness. Besides the existing visual jutsu, the Rinne Sharingan had given birth to many different visual jutsu, such as the previous Black Darkness Vortex and more.
Now, Amaterasu not only possessed its original attack capabilities but also the property of consuming and corroding everything with darkness. It immediately turned into a large net and annihilated all the insects in an instant, leaving no survivors.
“Thud!”
A gloved fist collided with the pure white fist of Ryoha, and the ground under their feet shattered, just like the surrounding earth. It was evident that the force rebounded by the collision of their fists had shattered the ground.
“Sakura, is this your Monstrous Strength Fist? It disappoints me greatly.” Ryoha shook his head. It wasn’t that Sakura was too weak, nor did she fail to utilize the full power of the fist.
Instead, the power unleashed by Ryoha and Tsunade’s fists had long exceeded the pinnacle achievable by the technique. They had reached a completely new domain and could easily be given a new name. However, Ryoha and Tsunade still referred to this move as usual.
Sakura bit her lip. She really didn’t want to fight Ryoha, but she wasn’t the clueless, infatuated girl she used to be. On the contrary, she was well aware that Konoha was not as idealistic as she had thought before—bright, warm, and full of passion. As her medical ninjutsu grew stronger, as did her strength and status, she became more exposed to the darker aspects. Now, with Konoha in such a state and so many people watching, if she didn’t act, her parents would likely be the first to die.
Ryoha seemed to understand her concerns, so he directly alleviated her worries. This one sentence gave her the courage to act, letting go of her concerns. Whether it was for her mother or to prove to Ryoha that she didn’t disappoint, she had made a lot of changes. She unleashed her strongest punch. However, when compared to Ryoha, her Strange Strength Fist fell far short.
“He really defeated all of us from Konoha single-handedly.” Kakashi had just used Raikiri twice, and one of them was the burdening Raikiri Stream. His body had just recovered, and he couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at Ryoha.
“I think that’s about it, a one-shot move, Dark Release: Black Gaia Force!” Ryoha glanced at the seemingly endless Konoha ninjas. Although the casualties were severe, many survivors were saved and had returned to the battle. The densely packed ninjas were truly remarkable. They were the number one ninja village after all, and their reserves were massive. Especially in a life-or-death situation like this, the major clans didn’t dare to hold anything back. They brought out all their hidden forces. The numbers were astonishing.
