Chapter 739 Golden Skyline VS The Strongest Spear (Double Update, Monthly Ticket Request)

It was the day of the Eight Finals.

The audience had arrived early, eagerly anticipating today’s matches.

“Nagato and Uchiha Obito are both geniuses who defeated Kage. The winner among them can truly claim to be the number one genius in the Ninja World.”

“How long can Shisui the Body Flicker and Kakashi the Lightning Fang last against the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Hokage?”

Before the battles even began, the stands were filled with various discussions.

The audience excitedly discussed the contestants they favored.

“When Might Guy defeated Fourth Raikage Ay in the last round, he seemed to have power left. Does that mean he still has a chance to cause an upset and defeat the Third Raikage?”

“Impossible. Fourth Raikage Ay is just a newly selected AB Combo. He’s not on the same level of strength as the Third Raikage. If the Third Raikage uses his full power, Might Guy won’t last long at all.”

Most Ninja spectators believed the Third Raikage would easily win.

Before Sōsuke defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi, there was a major debate in the Ninja World about who was the strongest in the current era.

The Third Raikage was one of the candidates with many supporters.

The reason the Third Raikage’s supporters believed he was the strongest was simple: the Third Raikage possessed the strongest shield, rendering Ninjutsu attacks ineffective.

Moreover, the Third Raikage also had the strongest spear; if he touched you, he would send you straight to meet the Shinigami.

Might Guy was indeed a genius, but in this match, he wasn’t just facing a strong opponent; he was facing one of the strongest contenders for the title of the strongest in the current era.

Facing such an opponent, it was no wonder the Ninja audience thought Might Guy would be easily defeated.

“Contestant number one, Might Guy, versus contestant number nine, Third Raikage-sama!”

As the referee’s voice came over the broadcast, the audience’s gazes all turned to the battle arena.

Although the gap was somewhat large, this was undoubtedly a pinnacle battle between ordinary Taijutsu and Nin-Taijutsu, not to be missed.

Inside the contestant lounge, Might Guy stood up, bid farewell to his companions, and quickly walked towards the battle arena.

The Third Raikage on the high platform also wasted no time, striding into the aisle.

Upon reaching the battle arena, he was immediately met with various sounds from the audience.

There were cheers, there were discussions, but all the sounds mixed together, reaching Might Guy as just a buzzing noise.

Might Guy didn’t pay attention to the noise; he just laughed heartily, revealing a confident smile, and gave himself a thumbs-up in front of everyone.

At this moment, the Third Raikage also happened to walk into the battle arena and saw Might Guy’s action.

He didn’t mock him, said nothing, just quietly glanced at Might Guy, then walked to his designated position, preparing for battle.

“Third Raikage, wielder of the strongest Lightning Armor, both the strongest spear and the strongest shield…”

Looking at the Third Raikage’s sturdy muscles, Might Guy’s mind subconsciously recalled the Third Raikage’s information, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

His youth was about to explode!

“Begin!”

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee announced the start of the battle.

“Eight Gates, First Gate, Gate of Opening, open!…Sixth Gate, Gate of View, open!”

Facing the Third Raikage, who possessed the strongest Lightning Armor, Might Guy dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately used the Eight Gates to rapidly open the Gates.

As one gate after another, which suppressed Chakra within his body, was opened, Might Guy’s Chakra surged, becoming wild and uncontrollable at the same time.

When he opened up to the Sixth Gate, Might Guy’s entire body emitted green Chakra, and his aura was astonishing.

“Eight Gates, Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock, open!”

Might Guy roared in a low voice, pushing his Eight Gates to the limit, opening the last gate that could be opened under normal circumstances.

Facing Fourth Raikage Ay, Might Guy could use six gates for a test, but the Third Raikage was too strong, and Might Guy was worried about being eliminated directly during a test, so he simply used his full power.

As blue steam appeared around his body, Might Guy’s internal Chakra surged again, and his entire aura instantly skyrocketed.

Boom!

This sudden burst of terrifying Chakra caused the ground beneath Might Guy’s feet to crack rapidly, and for a moment, shattered rocks flew and dust rose.

But when this impact, powerful enough to crack the earth and send trees flying, struck the Third Raikage, it couldn’t even make his body retreat by 0.1 centimeters; it merely blew his light yellow long hair backward.

“Lightning Release Chakra Mode!”

The Third Raikage crossed his arms, and a large amount of Chakra burst forth from his body. Dazzling blue electric light rapidly appeared all over his body, and his aura became incredibly powerful.

“Rock Breathing Chakra Mode!”

Might Guy concentrated his breathing to a high degree, and a large amount of Chakra within his body burned fiercely like flames, further strengthening his body.

Whoosh!

After using all his burst techniques, Might Guy quickly rushed out.

The Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates stacked with Rock Breathing Chakra Mode would put a lot of pressure on his physical body. With his current physical strength, he couldn’t use it for long, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

“Armament Haki!”

While running, Might Guy activated a large amount of Chakra to use Armament Haki, and the dark Armament Haki quickly spread throughout his body.

Due to the Eight Gates, he couldn’t precisely control his Chakra, so he could only roughly cover his entire body with Armament Haki, instead of covering only where he wanted to strengthen.

Although this operation wasted a lot of Chakra, Might Guy, with the Eight Gates activated, had no shortage of Chakra, so it wasn’t a big problem.

“Hmm?”

The Third Raikage couldn’t help but be surprised as he looked at Might Guy, whose body was covered in a layer of black substance.

This was a technique Might Guy had never displayed before.

“Leaf Hand Blade!”

As he approached the Third Raikage, Might Guy’s palm Chakra suddenly burst forth, and he swiftly swung his hand blade.

With the Seventh Gate, full-power Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, and the amplification of Armament Haki, Might Guy’s palm had barely swung out when a strong gust of wind directly struck the Third Raikage’s face.

“Lightning Style Kill!”

The Third Raikage narrowed his eyes slightly, and his right hand’s palm erupted with terrifying lightning, also swinging a hand blade.

Boom!!

A black and a blue hand blade collided, and a terrifying impact erupted, directly cracking the ground where they stood.

Then, something unexpected happened: the Third Raikage actually retreated two steps, while Might Guy remained motionless.

“How is this possible? Lord Third actually lost in the first clash!”

The Cloud Ninja all looked incredulous.

This was their invincible war god in the hearts of the Cloud Ninja, and he actually fell into a disadvantage in a Taijutsu clash, and his opponent was a fifteen-year-old Konoha boy.

The other Ninja spectators also looked as if they had seen a ghost.

“Could it be that Might Guy can still cause an upset today?”

Some Ninja showed expressions of wild joy.

Of course, such a competition would not be without the betting segment for the winner, and some people, with the mentality of betting against the odds to get rich, bet on Might Guy.

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

Might Guy, not letting up, immediately delivered another incredibly fast whirlwind kick towards the Third Raikage.

Crackling!!

The Third Raikage’s expression remained unchanged; he simply increased the output of his Lightning Release Chakra, entering full power mode.

Under the effect of the powerful Lightning Release Chakra, every strand of the Third Raikage’s hair stood on end, and his aura became incredibly terrifying.

Bang!

Relying on the extremely strong reaction nerves gained from his Lightning Release enhancement, the Third Raikage firmly caught Might Guy’s kicking leg and violently threw him towards the ground, creating a large crater.

“This is the strong opponent I want to challenge!”

Might Guy’s expression became even more excited. Protected by Armament Haki, he had only suffered a minor injury just now.

He burst with Chakra, swiftly dodged the Third Raikage’s further attack, quickly gathered a large amount of Chakra in both hands, and then slammed them together towards the Third Raikage.

“Morning Tiger!”

Roar!!

The air was compressed by Might Guy’s immense power, almost solidifying, and then it erupted like a gushing spring, releasing a powerful air current instantly.

A majestic white tiger formed from compressed air rapidly took shape and lunged at the Third Raikage.

“Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!”

The impressive power of the Morning Tiger caused a slight change in the Third Raikage’s expression.

He raised his right hand, gathered a large amount of Lightning Release Chakra on his four upright fingers, and thrust them forward fiercely.

Whoosh, whoosh!!

The powerful impact brought by the Morning Tiger tore apart the ground, sending shattered rocks flying in all directions.

But the Third Raikage, who directly faced the Morning Tiger, didn’t even waver a bit.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, the giant tiger-shaped air cannon turned into nothingness, while the Third Raikage still stood in place.

Might Guy, whose Morning Tiger was broken, showed no sign of dejection on his face, only excitement.

After all, this was the man who simultaneously held the titles of the strongest spear and the strongest shield. Just the Morning Tiger was certainly not enough; he still had one Taijutsu technique he hadn’t used yet.

Might Guy quickly placed his right hand behind his waist, extended his index and middle fingers, and poured all of his Chakra into those two fingers, strengthening them to the maximum extent.

“Hmph.”

Might Guy concentrated his breathing even further, doing his best to add power to his strongest technique.

Whoosh!

Might Guy burst out at extreme speed, and as he charged, he swung his right hand.

The Third Raikage also chose not to give Might Guy any more opportunities.

He unleashed Lightning Release Chakra, transforming into a bolt of lightning that struck Might Guy, and the four fingers he had originally extended on his palm became a single finger.

“Golden Skyline!”

“Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!”

The unbreakable golden line and the dazzling blue strongest spear collided head-on.

Rumble!!!

An indescribably terrifying impact occurred, cracking the ground for tens of meters around the two of them. The terrifying impact airflow forced the Shinobi Sect Ninja to activate a barrier to defend against it, preventing accidental injury to the audience.

The cracked ground and the gusts of wind generated by the impact created a yellowish-gray dust mist on the field that obstructed vision.

Ninja with Eye Technique Bloodline Limits immediately activated their Bloodline Limits to check the battle situation, while audience members without Eye Technique Bloodline Limits anxiously stood up, wanting to see the scene within.

Fortunately, the yellow mist raised by this power collision came and went quickly. Soon, the figures of Might Guy and the Third Raikage reappeared in the audience’s view.

Might Guy was seen supporting himself with one hand to prevent himself from completely falling to the ground, while his other arm constantly seeped crimson blood, hanging limply as if completely devoid of strength.

The Third Raikage was no longer in his original position, having retreated several meters. The single extended finger on his hand was already covered in blood, and his right arm was visibly trembling.

“Your Taijutsu is very good.”

The Third Raikage activated Lightning Release Chakra to vitalize his cells for healing, desperately controlling his right hand, and gave Might Guy a thumbs-up gesture.

He had won now, but he had won against a fifteen-year-old boy, someone who still had infinite potential.

Might Guy adjusted his posture and sat directly on the ground, smiling and giving a thumbs-up with his left hand in response.

“Third Raikage-sama is victorious!”
