Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

"I will give it my all in response to an opponent I respect!"

Kai took a deep breath, crossed his arms to protect his chest, and his chakra began to surge wildly.

"Eight Gates Formation! First Gate, Open! Open!"

"Second gate, the Rest Gate! Open!"

"The third gate, the gate of life... open!"

A powerful aura erupted from Kai's body!

boom!

A terrifying shockwave emanated from Kai and spread outwards, shattering the stone slabs beneath his feet.

Kai's skin began to flush red, and green chakra steam erupted around him, causing the rubble on the ground to float in the air.

The spectators in the stands stood up, their faces filled with horror.

"This amount of chakra..."

"Is this the kind of power a genin should possess?!"

Even the Third Hokage put down his pipe and looked at Guy with a serious expression.

Kakashi stared intently at the green figure in the arena, his grip on the railing tightening.

"Kai..."

At this moment, Kai's eyes rolled back, and his whole body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Aoba! Watch out!"

Before he finished speaking, Kai had already disappeared.

It's not a teleportation technique, but pure physical explosive speed!

Aoba's pupils contracted sharply, and the alarm from the chip exploded in his mind.

[WARNING! Target speed exceeds capture limit! Defense system overload!]

Freed from his restraints, Kai's speed instantly increased to a whole new level.

Whoosh!

Aoba felt the pressure suddenly increase, and the sand's automatic defense was starting to lag behind Kai's speed.

boom!

A powerful punch pierced through a gap in the sand shield, grazing Qingye's cheek and leaving a crack.

Aoba's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

This time, the sand couldn't keep up.

"Ritual Lotus!"

Bang!

A muffled thud.

The sand shield beside Aoba was kicked and shattered. The huge impact caused him to slide several meters to the side, and the sand covering his body was also covered with cracks and fragments!

"So fast!"

Aoba was secretly alarmed.

Is this the Eight Gates Formation?

With just the third gate, he was already able to break through the sand's defenses using pure physical skills.

However, compared to Aoba's surprise, Kakashi's face showed astonishment, and the people watching around were even more surprised.

"It's sand..."

"That brat covered his body with sand, forming a strange kind of armor!"

The crack was quickly repaired with sand.

"That's it, that's the feeling!"

The extreme speed and power put Aoba under unprecedented pressure!

It also made him excited!

However, he was not Gaara; a blue light flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

[Chip calculation in progress... Attack trajectory prediction complete.]

At this moment, the chip took control of the sand. Under the chip's calculations, Kai's every step was within the chip's calculations, blocking him three meters away.

At this moment, even those around could clearly feel that Aoba's sand had changed!

Become more "flexible" and more aggressive!

Aoba is now like a hedgehog, impossible to bite.

But it's not over yet!

Aoba pulled out the scroll and unrolled it.

"untie!"

With a slap, a massive amount of sand shot into the sky, covering the entire site.

He formed a hand seal, and the surrounding sand transformed into countless sharp spikes.

"Sand rain!"

All the sand was mobilized by Qingye, and Kai dodged left and right amidst the dense attacks. Although he was in a sorry state, he did not suffer any real damage.

Kai, in his three-gate state, was panting heavily.

He knew he couldn't keep dragging this on.

"Then this is the only way!"

An even more terrifying shockwave exploded outwards from Kai.

"Fourth Injury Gate - Open!"

Chakra surged again.

Kai slowly raised his head, his originally black pupils now showing only the whites of his eyes, making him look like a wild beast awakening.

"Aoba! Take this!"

The ground cracked.

Kai's figure disappeared completely.

No, it didn't disappear.

It's because it's too fast, so fast that you can't even see the afterimage.

His speed increased to another level, and a sonic boom could even be heard in the air.

"Ritual Lotus!"

Kai appeared below Qingye and kicked him into the air, followed by countless indistinct fist shadows.

Bang bang bang!

The sand is frantically recombining, breaking, and recombining.

Aoba felt like a small boat in a storm. Although he was protected by sand, the shockwaves transmitted through the sand still made his blood surge.

"Is this the Eight Gates Formation? It's incredibly powerful!"

Aoba forcibly adjusted his body in mid-air. His eyes couldn't keep up, but his senses could!

"Sand-bound coffin!"

The sand tried to engulf Kai, but he was too fast, and the sand couldn't catch up with his shadow.

"The final blow!"

Kai appeared above Aoba, his bandaged arm slashing down like a battle axe.

Aoba no longer held back, and the chakra within his body surged wildly.

All the sand instantly gathered on top of his head, compressed and hardened, forming layers upon layers of shield.

"The Blazing Sky Covers Seven Rings!"

Boom—!

A deafening roar.

The arena floor collapsed instantly, billowing smoke and dust that obscured everyone's view.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the center of the arena.

After a long while, the smoke and dust dissipated.

Aoba was still standing there, but her once neat clothes were now somewhat disheveled.

Before him, Kai lay sprawled at the bottom of the pit, panting heavily. His muscles twitched violently from spasms, clearly exhausted. Beside him lay a broken humanoid puppet.

That's right, this is a clone of the Aoba puppet.

Although it's still a ways off from being a complete technique, it can serve as a temporary substitute.

Aoba wouldn't be foolish enough to actually try and withstand the Eight Gates head-on.

The outcome is decided.

The referee glanced at Kai's condition and raised his hand.

"The victor is Yamashiro Aoba!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the entire venue seemed to snap out of a frozen moment, erupting into thunderous applause and cheers.

"Too...too powerful!"

"That Might Guy is a monster! He can unleash such terrifying power!"

"But in the end, it was Yamashiro Aoba who won! That sand-controlling ninjutsu was really amazing!"

Discussions rose and fell, everyone was utterly shocked by the battle.

Ignoring the surrounding noise, Qingye walked to Kai's side and squatted down.

A soft green light shone from his palm and he pressed it against Kai's chest.

【Palm Magic】

Kai, who had been groaning in pain, gradually relaxed.

"You... won..."

Kai struggled to raise his hand, forced a smile, and gave Qingye a thumbs up.

"Are you trying to kill me, you idiot?"

Aoba cursed irritably, but her hands didn't stop the healing motions. "However, that punch really hurt."

The medical team ninjas quickly entered the scene, but when they saw the emerald green chakra aura shining from Aoba's palm, the medical ninjas were taken aback at first, and then they all wisely stood aside and waited for Aoba to treat them.
