Time passed in a blur, though no one could say exactly how long. This time, the dimensional platform wasn't filled with noisy discussions like before. Instead, everyone was quietly absorbing and consolidating the newfound power they had gained. As days and nights alternated, two to three days slipped by in silence. Then, just as suddenly, the long-quiet platform exploded with activity once more.
The reason was simple—Rin Aokawa had released a new video preview.
[Top 2: From Ordinary to Ultimate Combat Techniques!]
The moment the title appeared, countless lurkers flooded the platform, and it became packed in an instant. Across the myriad worlds, who would dare claim their combat skills had reached the ultimate level? Yet now the uploader had boldly presented such a title. How could anyone suppress their curiosity and doubt?
Driven by that curiosity, the view count skyrocketed like a rocket—one million, ten million, one hundred million.
The scene opened beneath a vast, clear sky. As the camera zoomed in, everyone saw a white-haired man in a flowing white robe standing midair without any visible support. His cold gaze overlooked the land below.
As the dust on the ground cleared, another figure came into view—a man wearing a green flak vest over a tight green bodysuit, with a distinctive bowl-cut hairstyle.
The moment he appeared, the viewers began to buzz with discussion.
Senju Hashirama: Hmm? I don't recognize this guy, but that hairstyle… it feels strangely familiar.
Senju Tobirama: Then he must be a junior from the village?
Naruto Uzumaki: Huh? I know him! That's Thick-Brow Sensei—Lee's teacher!
Rock Lee: Wow! I missed the earlier part, but it really is Sensei! Sensei, you're on the video—did you see?!
Might Guy: Enough crying, Lee! Youth is made of sweat, not tears! Also—Kakashi, did you see this? I made it onto the video before you. Looks like I win this time! Hahaha!
Kakashi Hatake: Tch…
Kakashi sighed quietly and focused back on the screen. Compared to whether Guy appeared in the video, he was far more interested in who Guy was fighting.
The camera zoomed in further, centering on Guy.
"Looks like in a moment like this, it's time for the Blue Beast of Konoha to make his entrance!"
"The Eight Gates… Seventh Gate of Shock—OPEN!"
Guy crossed his arms before his chest, and in the next instant, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. A faint blue glow surrounded him, shimmering like energy. Upon closer inspection, however, everyone realized it wasn't ordinary light—it was sweat being expelled and vaporized in a unique way.
Boom!
The ground cracked apart as Guy's aura surged like a hurricane, sweeping across dozens of meters. The overwhelming pressure made even distant observers shudder.
This scene sent countless viewers into a frenzy.
Monkey D. Garp: Expelling sweat and turning it into this kind of aura… that's terrifying!
Sengoku: Indeed. And from my analysis, he hasn't even used his full power yet…
Kaido: I'm called the strongest creature in the world, but compared to him… I doubt I could even take a single punch.
Onoki: Someone actually pushed their body to this level… Is this the strength of Konoha's Blue Beast? Truly troublesome.
Fourth Raikage: I specialize in taijutsu as well, but compared to him… the gap is huge.
Mei Terumi: Oh? I've never met him, but if even those two old fossils are praising him, he must have some real skill.
Fourth Raikage & Onoki: Who are you calling old fossils?!
The video continued.
Guy stomped the ground, and with explosive force, shot into the air like lightning.
"Daytime Tiger!"
He roared as his fist shot forward. The sheer speed generated a shockwave that took the shape of a ferocious white tiger, charging straight at the white-robed man.
How powerful could a single punch be? Guy answered that question perfectly.
Boom!
The ground collapsed beneath the impact. The white-robed man avoided the strike just in time, hovering midair. Though he remained unharmed, he fell silent for a moment, clearly acknowledging the terrifying destructive power.
After the attack, Guy landed back on the ground. The blue aura faded, and he looked up at his opponent. From that brief exchange, he already understood—while the Seventh Gate was powerful, its speed still wasn't enough to land a decisive blow.
If he wanted to win, there was only one option left.
Guy exhaled slowly, as if making a firm decision. His tense expression relaxed, replaced by his usual confident smile. He even turned back and gave Kakashi and the others a thumbs-up, reassuring them.
To outsiders, it seemed like nothing. But Kakashi, who knew him best, immediately sensed something was wrong.
"From today onward, the Blue Beast of Konoha will disappear… It's time to become the Red Beast!"
The moment those words were spoken, Guy burst forward toward the white-robed man.
From the opponent's perspective, everyone saw Guy bring his fingers together and press them against his chest.
In a life-or-death situation, if no one stepped forward, everyone would perish.
In that instant, crimson steam erupted from his body, forming a blazing red aura.
"The Eight Gates… Eighth Gate of Death—OPEN!"
"Now is the time to burn my youth and protect the village!"
In a single moment, Guy's presence soared to unimaginable heights, completely different from before.
But just as everyone leaned forward in anticipation of what would happen next, the screen suddenly went black.
The video ended.
Instantly, countless viewers were left stunned, their frustration rising as if they had swallowed something foul. The platform erupted into chaos, with people from countless worlds angrily cursing the uploader for cutting it off at the most critical moment.
