Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 291 Might Guy, a man who stopped a nuclear explosion with his life

A dazzling light is radiating.

It was a harbinger of the bomb about to explode.

Uehara Naraku gazed at the bursting light and murmured, "Deidara should really come and see for himself; his art is nothing but clay..."

"Pain's self-destruction, the Asura Path?"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "Just by feeling it, the chakra over there is indeed terrifying. Once it erupts..."

"Enough to easily destroy everything here!"

Uehara Naraku voiced Yakushi Kabuto's speculation, shaking his head as he continued, "How many people do you think will survive this explosion?"

"..."

Kabuto shook his head and did not answer.

The area near where the Asura Path self-destructed.

Might Guy and Rock Lee, who had just left the Asura Path, sensed something was wrong. They suddenly realized where the light came from and that the round ninja tool they had just seen was extremely dangerous!

Might Guy pulled Rock Lee aside, shielding his disciple behind him, his expression suddenly changing: "Lee, step back!"

"Teacher Kai?"

"Extremely dangerous!"

The sweat on Might Guy's forehead evaporated. He clenched his fist tightly, instantly compressing the air in front of him, and then unleashed a super air blast towards the source of the light!

"Daytime Tiger!"

The pressure in Might Guy's hand transformed into a white tiger that pounced forward, but the day tiger was completely ineffective and was instead shattered by an even greater force!

The super bomb exploded completely!

The earth began to tremble violently in an instant!

An extremely powerful shockwave exploded from the center and spread rapidly outwards. In the blink of an eye, the mountain stream was directly destroyed by the shockwave from the explosion!

"This power..."

Might Guy clenched his fist again, staring at the shockwave that was spreading in all directions, and gritted his teeth: "This power is enough to destroy the entire forest, and might even affect Konoha... No!"

The shockwave from this explosion could sweep through all the ninjas in the forest, killing thousands and causing heavy losses to Konoha. Might Guy and Rock Lee will definitely not escape!

"Teacher Kai!"

A look of anxiety flashed across Lee Locke's face.

However, the shockwave from the super bomb's explosion was about to engulf them, and even Rock Lee's kicks couldn't stop the massive shockwave!

"Leave it to me!"

In a matter of seconds, Matt Kai immediately considered the consequences and instantly came up with a solution: "Lee, step back, leave this to me!"

"But…"

"The Eighth Gate..."

As Might Guy watched the shockwave about to engulf him, the blood on his body began to evaporate, and the blue steam was quickly replaced by blood-red steam. It was just like when the Eight Gates opened the Gate of Death and burned his own blood energy!

"The Gate of Death - Open!"

A resolute aura suddenly erupted from Might Guy's body. He stomped the ground with one foot, shattering it, and then turned and threw a punch at the violent explosion!

"Evening Elephant!"

The very first punch immediately unleashed a white air cannon, blocking the source of the shockwave for a second!

The next moment, Might Guy exerted his strength again, running around the shockwave from the explosion, continuously throwing out his fists!

Might Guy was moving faster than the shockwave from the explosion!

Less than ten seconds had passed since the explosion, and Matt Kai had used a series of air cannon punches to imprison the shockwave of the explosion in place!

After each air cannon dissipates, add another punch!

If the speed isn't enough, then keep increasing the speed!

Even Uehara Naraku couldn't have imagined that Might Guy would have such a move. How could anyone possibly stop the self-destruction of the Asura Path?

The earth trembled violently.

A mushroom cloud slowly rose.

However, the shockwave from the explosion could not spread no matter what, because the huge explosion, powerful enough to destroy everything around it and even Konoha, was blocked by a man covered in blood with his fist!

"You can actually do that?"

Uehara Naraku felt the ground tremble beneath his feet, a look of astonishment on his face: "That guy Kai actually managed to stop the Asura Path's self-destruction by using the air cannon unleashed by the Eight Gates' ultimate speed punch?"

This world is just too outrageous!

The explosion was incredibly powerful, but Might Guy simply kept punching his fists, restraining all the shockwaves that were trying to spread outwards!

The air cannons fired by the fists formed a cage-like structure, trapping the mushroom cloud generated by the self-destruction of the Asura Path in place!

"That's terrifying..."

Kabuto's gaze turned slightly grave. He stroked the violently trembling earth and whispered, "Lord Naraku, the power of this self-destruction is enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people, and could easily destroy any ninja village, right?"

However, Might Guy blocked the explosion!

Is this really something a ninja could do?

No matter how you look at it, it's absolutely impossible!

Uehara Naraku watched the crimson-haired man relentlessly firing air cannons at the mushroom cloud, a smile suddenly appearing on his face: "So you've finally pushed the Eight Gates to its limit? Impressive, Might Guy!"

"Lord Naraku?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Kabuto's face.

Uehara Naraku smiled and patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder, saying softly, "I just thought of something happy. Maybe I've found a way to deal with Uchiha Madara!"

Konoha Village.

The entire village was shaken as if by an earthquake; there were collapsed utility poles and houses everywhere, and all the windows were shattered, but everyone survived.

Looking at the violently shaking ground, Tsunade shouted, "Quickly, find out what happened!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

However, no one in Konoha knew what had happened.

Having witnessed everything up close and knowing exactly what had happened, the young ninja, only seventeen or eighteen years old, knelt helplessly on the ground, weeping as he looked at the blood-soaked figure still running: "Teacher Kai..."

"Don't despair for me, Lee!"

Might Guy suddenly appeared above the mushroom cloud, his voice hoarse as he roared, "Look closely, Lee! A ninja's youth is about protecting what's most important to them!"

Might Guy suddenly kicked out from the air, and his crimson steam instantly flowed along the direction of the kick, plunging towards the ground!

This is the ultimate secret of the Eight Gates Formation!

This is also the result of more than 20 years of hard work by Matt Kai since he was a child!

"Night Kai!"

The red steam slowly gathered into a giant dragon head, which, driven by Might Guy, roared and rushed down towards the mushroom cloud, instantly breaking it apart!

No matter how massive the shockwave was, it was kicked directly into the ground by Might Guy's ultimate taijutsu technique!

A bottomless crater instantly appeared in the ground.

That super explosion, capable of destroying the entire Hidden Leaf Village and easily killing thousands of ninjas, was completely neutralized by this blood-red man.

Perhaps only Uehara Naraku knew just how extraordinary Might Guy had done.

This guy used his speed and strength to prevent an explosion that was no less powerful than a nuclear blast, though the price was his life.

Just as Matt Kai had neutralized the threat of the super bomb's explosion within a few dozen seconds, a deafening explosion reached everyone's ears!

Boom!

The sound was like a thunderclap!

While the sound caused excruciating eardrum pain, they were unaware that someone had already resolved the crisis that threatened their lives.

bang bang bang bang...

Uehara Naraku slowly clapped his hands and softly exclaimed, "Although I know Might Guy is incredibly strong, seeing all that he's done still makes me want to praise him—he's amazing!"

"Um…"

After slowly nodding, Kabuto suddenly spoke, "Lord Naraku, Might Guy's life force seems to have run out..."

"He's definitely going to die."

Uehara Naraku slowly closed his palms and said softly, "To prevent him from turning to ashes as well, go and steal a portion of his corpse and perform the Impure World Reincarnation on him!"

If Might Guy's body turns to ashes, that would be a huge loss!

It doesn't matter if Kakashi Hatake dies, but Might Guy has to live, no matter how he lives!

"Yes."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Even if he can't unleash the destructive power he just displayed, he's still a formidable force for us."

"Um."

A glint flashed in Uehara Naraku's eyes as he whispered, "Might Guy's role isn't just that. If he's by my side, I can steal his techniques at any time and use his Night Guy without any cost..."

Yes.

Matt Kay must be there.

If that's the case, Uehara Naraku will have another trump card to deal with Uchiha Madara. If he can kick out Night Guy from the Eight Gates taijutsu at any time, even the Six Paths level Uchiha Madara will not be able to ignore his threat.

At this moment.

Might Guy's Eight Gates technique has finally ended.

Might Guy was now almost charred, completely powerless, and lifeless. Rock Lee knelt beside him, sobbing.

One by one, Konoha ninjas emerged from the forest.

They were all ninja units responsible for protecting Might Guy and Rock Lee.

These Konoha ninjas also sensed the threat posed by the super explosion and witnessed Might Guy's outburst resolve the crisis. Hyuga Neji and Tenten emerged from it; they were also members of these two units.

The two walked in disbelief to Rock Lee's side, slowly removed their ninja headbands, and knelt before Might Guy: "Guy-sensei..."

"Teacher Kai..."

Lee Rock's eyes were somewhat vacant, and tears were still streaming down his cheeks. He murmured, "He's already sacrificed himself."

To protect him.

Also to protect the ninja forces behind them.

Also, to protect Konoha Village behind them.

Might Guy single-handedly resolved a major crisis, but the price he paid was far too high for Team 3!

"plum."

Neji Hyuga suppressed the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes, and looking at the dazed Rock Lee, he whispered, "The enemy hasn't been dealt with yet. We have more important things to do!"

"..."

Rock Lee nodded silently.

The next moment, Rock Lee slammed his fist into the ground, staring at the charred remains, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Teacher Kai, I won't let you down!"

Rock Lee slowly turned his head, his eyes revealing a resolute determination: "Neji, tell me... where is Pain's true form?"

Payne's true form is still inside the tree hollow.

Nagato sat inside the tree hollow, his expression somewhat grim, even incredulous: "What a joke, the self-destruction of the Asura Path was dealt with...?"

This was the result of his hard work and transformation over the years, and it was all destroyed by Might Guy who opened the Eight Gates!

but…

That guy is way too strong!

Is that watermelon-headed guy really a taijutsu ninja?

"Nagato?"

Xiao Nan's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Nagato shook his head and sighed softly, "Konan, I underestimated that taijutsu ninja. His taijutsu is even stronger than Uehara's. That Konoha taijutsu ninja is an absolute monster!"

The self-destruction of the Asura Path is something that even Nagato himself couldn't come up with a suitable solution for; even Chibaku Tensei would never be able to do it!

However, that watermelon-headed taijutsu ninja managed to defuse the self-destruction of the Asura Path's super bomb using only his taijutsu skills!

real…

It's a monster!

Nagato felt a little fortunate. If it weren't for the self-destruction of the Asura Path forcing that Konoha ninja to erupt, he himself might have been killed by that guy!

Fortunately, that guy perished together with Pain in the Asura Path!

"Konan, I'll control Pain to deal with Jiraiya and Naruto."

Nagato looked at Konan and whispered, "As for the battle between the Fifth Kazekage and the Fifth Mizukage, I'll leave it to you and the Animal Path."

"Um."

Xiao Nan nodded calmly.

"Let's begin!"

Nagato abruptly closed his fingers, a glint of light flashing in his Rinnegan eyes: "Jiraiya-sensei, Naruto Uzumaki, then let me witness your power!"

Two more chapters to come.

I'm exhausted
