Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

The referee was still somewhat hesitant, but neither of them refused, so after consulting the Hokage, she had no choice but to announce the start.

"I shouldn't have done this for my hot dog... Oh well, whatever!"

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two ninjas leaped onto the center of the arena.

Knock knock knock... Ah Kai had been on stage many times before and knew everything about it.

But this time, when he took the stage, he felt an unprecedented excitement and thrill.

His heart was pounding wildly at an almost paralyzing speed, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

He looked up into the distance and saw that the daimyo of the five great nations had already set up their tents, and the three Kage—the Hokage, the Kazekage, and the Tsuchikage—along with their personal guards, were all present.

Chapter 380 Kai's Martial Arts

Very unusually, even Tsunade, who is known for her majesty and power, sat next to the Hokage's seat, which symbolizes the highest status. She turned slightly to the side, her gaze fixed on the arena, her expression showing a hint of solemnity.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena was both intense and exciting. "Hey, what are you looking at? The match has already started!"

As the mysterious man in the white robe, exuding an aura of enigma, curled his lips into a strange smile, he waved his hands, and the referee loudly announced the official start of the match.

Unlike his previous defensive counter-attack strategy, this time, the white-clad fellow's move was both insidious and ruthless. He quickly formed hand seals and uttered a low shout: "Storm Ghost Dragon!"

In an instant, a ferocious dragon formed from lightning roared out and charged toward Akai with earth-shattering force.

Immediately afterward, before Kai could react, he changed his hand gestures again and shouted, "Storm Release: Thundercloud Wave!"

Massive thunderclouds rapidly gathered above the arena, instantly turning the once clear sky into a dense, overcast expanse of clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Then, these thunderclouds poured down without warning, like divine punishment descending, with thick bolts of lightning crashing down on Akai like giant pythons.

—You can't take it head-on; you have to dodge skillfully!

Although Akai is not good at strategizing in ordinary times, he has a beast-like keen intuition when fighting.

Sensing the ferocity of the opponent's ninjutsu, Guy's mind instantly became as calm as ice. His eyes were fixed on the constantly falling lightning, and his brain was working at high speed, thinking of a countermeasure.

Without hesitation, he activated the Eight Gates Formation, forcefully pushing off the ground with both feet. He shot through the dense lightning like an arrow, dodging and weaving, while slowly approaching his opponent.

Unlike true geniuses, Guy is not proficient in many ninjutsu; he devotes all his time and energy to mastering the Eight Gates.

The Eight Gates Formation causes immense damage to the body, but its enhancements are also truly astonishing.

"Open the Eight Gates!"

Visibly, Akai's speed and power began to surge, and a vortex seemed to form around his body, stirring the surrounding air with a whooshing sound.

This is the Eight Gates Formation, which uses excessive energy consumption to unleash 100% of the body's potential, resulting in a double boost in attack speed.

"Oh...so it's the Eight Gates Formation...interesting kid, how about this?" The white-clad figure sneered repeatedly, his eyes full of disdain. He quickly formed hand seals again, accelerating the descent of lightning. The originally sparse lightning instantly became as dense as rain.

Helpless, Akai could only continue to accelerate, his body flashing in the lightning like a ghost.

"Second gate, Rest Gate, open!"

Ah Kai gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

The second shackle on his body was removed by Akai, and the door of rest lifted the restriction of physical fatigue, allowing him to overload his body with energy to recover his strength and offset the fatigue caused by the rapid energy consumption of opening the door.

Akai was already incredibly fast; he dashed left and right through the lightning, like a bolt of lightning.

But the white creature persisted relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of lightning as if divine power were manifesting. Its speed was so great that the thunderous roar could only be heard after the strikes were delivered.

Left with no other choice, Akai opened the third door again.

"Open the gate of life!"

Guy's body began to turn red, and green chakra overflowed from his skin, like flames burning fiercely. The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the intense heat of the chakra.

However, this is not a good omen, because the Gate of Life is the last safe zone in the Eight Gates Formation. Activating the subsequent power would place a huge burden on the body, even if one survives.

"Only the third gate? If that's the case, you can't defeat me, you little minnow." The white guy laughed loudly, his laughter echoing in the arena. He even took the initiative to remove the lightning barrier, giving Akai the opportunity to get closer.

Akai was puzzled as to why the other was so arrogant, but the opportunity was too good to pass up. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the other man in the chest.

No, at this moment, Guy's speed was even faster than when he opened the third gate... This is the fourth gate, the Gate of Injury! A violent chakra enveloped Guy's left foot, and the air around his left foot was sizzling as he stomped hard on the white guy's chest.

At this point, the white-clad creature had no choice but to take the situation seriously and quickly retaliated by blocking.

But... Clang! Kai kicked the other's chest hard, but it felt like kicking steel. His foot bones almost cracked, and a sharp pain came from the sole of his foot, making Kai frown.

"How was it? How was the Steel Release technique? Did you find it difficult to even begin?" the white-clad figure chuckled smugly.

Just as Guy was about to respond, his left foot was firmly grasped by the other's hand, and the surging chakra suddenly stopped, as if it had been sucked into a black hole and could no longer be connected.

Without the support of chakra, Guy's left leg felt weak, as if it had lost its strength.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the other party slammed Akai hard to the ground.

Boom! Ah Kai's vision went black as his body slammed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

But for him, this was not an unbearable burden.

To enhance his resilience, he underwent more rigorous training, which was far more painful than what he is experiencing now.

But what truly hurt him wasn't the heavy blow itself, but rather... the chakra that invaded his body along with that blow.

That was Guy's own chakra; what had just happened to the Grass Ninja was being repeated on him.

He was injured by his own chakra, a feeling akin to being betrayed by his most trusted friend, filling him with pain and helplessness.

Ah Kai's head was buzzing, as if a swarm of bees were flying around in his mind, and all sorts of thoughts were intertwined, making him a little confused for a moment.

On the other side of the audience, people exclaimed in surprise, their voices filled with shock and confusion.

"Did he just... use another bloodline limit? He actually has three bloodlines?! Or is it some kind of unique ninjutsu?" A single bloodline limit is not uncommon. In the ninja world, although there are not many ninjas with bloodline limits, they are not rare either.

Those who possess two bloodline limits are quite special, often producing unique effects—for example, Mei Terumi possesses both Lava Release and Boil Release bloodline limits, which allow her to unleash powerful abilities in battle.

But three... that's unheard of.

Akai also realized the gravity of the situation, and he knew that if things continued like this, he would surely be defeated.

Without hesitation, he opened the fifth gate, the Gate of Closure.

An increasingly violent surge of energy erupted from Guy's body, like a raging tide, filling the void in his chakra and giving him the power to counterattack once again.

This is the power of the Gate of Absolute. His chakra surges in a short time, so much so that he can lift the ground with the wind pressure just by moving, and stones on the ground are swept up by the wind pressure and fly everywhere.

He could even float in mid-air, his body seemingly freed from the constraints of gravity, moving freely through the air.

But the white-clad figure remained calm. He quickly formed hand seals and unleashed his fourth bloodline limit – "Swift Escape".

In an instant, Akai unleashed dozens of kicks, his ferocious kicks leaving a series of afterimages in the air. Each kick carried immense power, as if it could tear the air apart.

However, the white-clad figure was no less fast. After using Swift Escape, his body seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, allowing him to calmly retreat from Akai's attack with a mocking smile on his face.

"What an unprecedented opponent..." Guy thought to himself in amazement. He was not lacking in experience fighting against bloodline ninjas, such as Kakashi, who possessed the powerful bloodline limit of the Sharingan.

But with four bloodlines at the same time... especially since the opponent is both offensive and defensive, and has a complete offensive and defensive system, Akai has no chance of winning. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by a firm belief.

"You bastard... no wonder you're so arrogant!" "No, it's not arrogance, it's just the way things are." The white-clad man put one hand behind his back, looking calm and collected, as if everything was under his control.

"Many people are unwilling to admit one thing: their own weakness, and that they are not the protagonists of this world."

"You were born only to become our food."

Why do we have to be battered and bruised before we realize this? How about we skip this stage?

"Recognizing this reality is actually good for both of us—the so-called hard work and struggle are just to make yourselves feel better, an excuse to comfort yourselves... because from the very beginning, we were already at your finish line." His words were like cold blades, piercing Akai's heart, but Akai's eyes became even more determined.

Akai ignored the white-clad guy's nonsense. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to smash this white-clad guy off the stage! To shatter his arrogance and conceit under his fists.

"Jingmen!"

"Peacock!" Without hesitation, Akai opened the sixth gate.

The raging chakra, like a blazing flame, spread outwards from him, shaking the atmosphere of the entire arena, and the surrounding air was scorched by this powerful chakra.

Guy threw a series of punches forward, his chakra frantically rubbing against the air to form huge, blazing fireballs, as beautiful and dangerous as a peacock spreading its tail.

This is the Morning Peacock, one of Akai's signature moves.

Despite the overwhelming rain of fireballs, the white creature remained remarkably calm.

As he raised his hand, he calmly absorbed the enormous fireballs. His palm was covered with intricate chakra patterns, as if they were made of cyber technology, and it seemed to be able to devour all energy. The fireballs disappeared instantly upon contact with his palm.

On the other side, he maintained his swift escape, dodging with lightning speed. His body moved freely through the fireballs, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers.

The faster Akai attacked, the faster he dodged.

Despite his overwhelming momentum, Akai was unable to defeat his opponent.

The daimyo and the ordinary spectators found the scene exceptionally exciting. They were captivated by the intense battle and cheered and shouted continuously.

However, Ying and the experts behind them discovered the problem.

"Too young, they played too recklessly, they shouldn't have done that."

His attacks, though seemingly fierce, were all blocked by his opponent.

We should take advantage of the Eight Gates' explosive power and engage in close combat with the opponent..."

"Close combat? How can you fight in close combat? The opponent clearly has two bloodline limits that increase speed and defense, and how do you know that's all he has? What if he has more, or even more lethal bloodline limits... The best strategy now is to keep your distance and calculate his limits."

"But the pressure of the Eight Gates on the body... and this fighter seems to be constantly provoking, but he has a very good sense of proportion, and his control over chakra is also... Why have I never seen such a master before? Even if he is a rogue ninja, he should be a famous figure." Novices only see the intense battle and dazzling ninjutsu; masters see the details and can tell the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides' tactics and the gap in strength.

The moment the white-clad figure made his move, they could tell how formidable he was—he was clearly a Shadow-level expert who had somehow ended up here "fishing" for no apparent reason.

Elite Jonin may have weaknesses, but they also have their own set of lethal combat techniques that allow them to unleash their full potential in battle.

Kage-level fighters, on the other hand, have essentially concealed all their weaknesses, becoming invincible experts with no weaknesses. They have reached an extremely high level in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

What truly puzzled the group of experts was that such a powerful individual shouldn't have appeared so suddenly and without fanfare...

"Could it be another rogue ninja from Konoha...?"

"Even if he's a rogue ninja from Konoha, who could it be...? There's no reason for it." No one thought this person came from their village; their first thought was Konoha—but they still couldn't figure out who it was.

Tsunade was about to speak, as she seemed to have some guesses in her mind, but Hiruko patted her shoulder and forcibly stopped her, his eyes revealing a hint of warning.

In any case, the situation on the field was extremely unfavorable for Akai.

The white-clad man was deliberately provoking Akai, constantly verbally agitating him in an attempt to make him lose his temper.

Ah Kai was indeed not fooled. He tried his best to remain calm, but with his extremely shrewd basic skills, he was still gradually wearing down Ah Kai's strength.
