chapter 180 part 2
He pointed at the samurai piled up below the main hall. "You call *this* a Genin?"
A samurai with the strength of a Jonin also laughed, "If he's a Genin, then we're just parameciums."
"I'll raise the stakes!" Yamanaka Fu roared. "Afterward, you'll receive one of Konoha's forbidden jutsu! I give you my word!"
Root had only one principle when operating outside: everything must be done to ensure Danzo's comfort and benefit.
In fact, this wasn't the first time they had done something like this. Danzo had often sabotaged Konoha's interests, especially when it came to Kekkei Genkai.
Hearing the tempting promise, Doto Kazahana's smile grew wider, the corners of his mouth curving up so high they almost reached his ears, as if he could already see his invincible future.
He casually stretched his shoulders, which made a "crack" sound. Then, he suddenly raised his voice, shouting like a resonant bell, "Nadare Roga! Let's go!"
"I've been waiting for this!"
Nadare Roga had long been unable to suppress his fighting spirit, and his reply was filled with impatient excitement.
Before his voice faded, he quickly formed hand seals. Chakra surged within his body like a tide, then erupted violently.
The terrifying Ice Release: Horned White Whale reappeared. Compared to before, the colossal ice beast was even larger this time, and its momentum was more imposing.
Like a moving iceberg with the force to overturn mountains and seas, it once again enveloped the palace steps, obscuring the sky.
A bone-chilling cold radiated from the ice whale, making the surrounding air seem to freeze into frost.
The Konoha trio's tight formation was instantly forced to scatter again under this sudden and powerful impact.
And those samurai on the steps were out of luck!
The Conqueror's Haki attack had, at most, knocked them unconscious. But this horned ice whale, like an iceberg, directly crushed more than half of the remaining samurai to death.
Nadare Roga didn't even finish his technique before he charged toward Kurenai!
Kurenai quickly formed hand seals!
However, just as she released her genjutsu, the chakra armor worn by Nadare Roga suddenly flashed with a bright light. Kurenai was about to close in for a follow-up attack, but Nadare Roga kicked her away with one leg!
Nadare Roga struck a pose, explaining like a typical villain revealing his trump card, "Genjutsu? Useless against my chakra armor! Only a dojutsu might have some effect! Hehehehe!"
Seeing this, Might Guy's heart burned with anxiety! He rushed toward her without hesitation, wanting to provide support.
However, just as he took a few steps, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared like a phantom, striking toward him with the force of a thunderclap.
Before Guy could react, a powerful force slammed heavily into his body.
With a loud "bang," Guy was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, carving a long trail across the snowy ground.
It was Doto Kazahana, clad in chakra armor, who had attacked Guy!
At this moment, Doto Kazahana's armor glowed with a strange light, as if fused with his body, exuding a chilling aura.
Guy bounced back to his feet, spun around completely, and landed facing Doto Kazahana.
Guy might be hot-headed, but he wasn't stupid.
He could clearly feel that the force of that last blow was incredibly explosive, almost comparable to opening the Eight Inner Gates. And his opponent was clearly not a taijutsu specialist.
Then, there was only one possibility.
That strange armor!
"Then, I'll be your opponent!"
"Eight Inner Gates! Third Gate, the Gate of Life! Open!"
In an instant, a scorching blue steam surged around Guy's body. His muscles swelled, and his entire aura rose sharply, as if he had transformed into a furious beast!
Facing Guy's transformation, Doto Kazahana's aura also surged!
He rapidly formed hand seals, then gathered chakra in his palms like a surging tide!
In a flash, a powerful energy wave erupted from his palms. Within that surging chakra, a black dragon, condensed from snow, frost, and bone-chilling cold, roared into existence, as if awakening from an endless icy abyss!
This was the power of a movie villain!
Putting aside everything else, its presence was absolutely immense, and the special effects were definitely maxed out!
The black dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, exuding a menacing cold. Wherever it passed, the air instantly condensed into ice, and the snow on the ground was swept into the air, creating a chaotic scene of an icy apocalypse!
It charged directly at Might Guy with the force to destroy heaven and earth!
Facing this surging black dragon, Might Guy's expression was grave. Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, looking particularly striking against the backdrop of the ice and snow.
But he showed no hint of backing down. With a loud shout, the "qi" around his body surged. His arm muscles bulged, and with unstoppable momentum, he swung an elbow fiercely at the black dragon!
"Leaf Crushing Rock Rise!"
Under normal circumstances, Guy, after opening the Third Gate, could shatter boulders.
Even a massive ice dragon was just large in scale. In terms of density, it was far inferior to metal, so he was full of confidence in this elbow strike.
However, in his haste, Might Guy had overlooked his surroundings of ice and snow.
This frozen land was undoubtedly the best amplifier for Doto Kazahana's Ice Release jutsu, multiplying the black dragon's power several times over.
The moment Might Guy's elbow collided with the black dragon, a powerful force, far exceeding his imagination, rebounded!
The black dragon merely trembled slightly, then suddenly exerted its full force, sending Might Guy flying like a swatted fly!
Might Guy's body arced through the air, smashing heavily onto the snowy ground in the distance and kicking up a high plume of snow!
Uchiha Ren was currently circling Torune Aburame, and out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Might Guy's plight.
He didn't feel that Guy was in that much danger.
After all, if Guy had to open all Eight Gates—such an ultimate technique—every time he encountered an enemy, then given the immense burden it placed on the body, Guy would find it very difficult to last through a long fighting career, let alone land the kick that nearly ended the entire story.
But Uchiha Ren had absolute confidence in Guy's strength. In his mind, it would be extremely difficult for anyone below the level of the Six Paths to truly injure Guy gravely.
