Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Kicking Might Bai Away with One Kick
At this moment, Kazekaze unleashed his full power.
"The Sixth Gate, Gate of View, open!"
Immediately. Kazekaze's entire body erupted with even more immense energy, further enhancing his strength and speed. The price, however, was that his muscles began to tear.
Although he had the Regeneration Ability to repair the damage, the intense pain shot straight to Kazekaze's brain.
'It seems my body's strength is still not enough to withstand the power of the Gate of View. Without the Regeneration Ability, I probably wouldn't be able to maintain it for even ten seconds.'
Kazekaze marveled at the power of the Regeneration Ability, which allowed him to maintain the Gate of View in battle.
"Alright, here I come, Might Bai-sensei!" Kazekaze took a deep breath and spoke to Might Bai.
The pain from the muscle damage not only didn't knock him out but made his mind exceptionally clear. Combining this with the combat experience he had gained before. Kazekaze suddenly disappeared in front of Might Bai.
"Disappeared?!"
Might Bai's eyes widened, and before he could recover from the shock of Kazekaze opening the Gate of View. Kazekaze was suddenly gone.
"Damn!" Might Bai cursed inwardly, instinctively assuming that Kazekaze had circled behind him.
Whoosh!
Might Bai quickly turned around, sweeping his right leg out to try and force Kazekaze back. Once the Gate of View is opened, the power of taijutsu is several times stronger than the Gate of Limit. Because in the state of the Gate of View, the user's body enters a semi-buffered state, fully unleashing combat power when needed.
As a fellow user of the Gate of View, Might Bai was all too aware of this. Of course, the reason for his momentary panic wasn't just because of the power of the Gate of View. It was because… Kazekaze, only seven years old, had mastered the Gate of View! This was simply unbelievable. So much so that Might Bai's brain made an error in judgment!
"No..."
Might Bai's leg sweep hit nothing! Behind him was completely empty! Kazekaze hadn't circled behind him at all! And because his right leg was in the air, Might Bai had no time to defend himself.
"I'm here!" Immediately after, Kazekaze's voice came from his left side.
"Kazekaze..." Might Bai's pupils dilated, clearly seeing Kazekaze standing to his left.
But… Now, all Might Bai could do was watch Kazekaze, unable to do anything! With the Gate of View opened, Kazekaze's speed surpassed Might Bai's! Trying to dodge. It was already too late!
Immediately.
Kazekaze extended his right foot, aiming at Might Bai's abdomen, deliberately avoiding vital points, and then kicked up!
Boom!
A muffled sound exploded between the two, and Might Bai immediately lost his balance, his whole body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Hashirama, Tobirama. Sarutobi, Danzo, Kagami, and Koharu, among others. None of them expected the situation to develop to this point. Seven-year-old Kazekaze had actually suppressed Might Bai in the field of taijutsu!
Thud!
Might Bai's back hit the ground, then bounced up, hitting again, rolling several times in Tobirama's direction before finally stopping. Although Kazekaze deliberately held back, not using enhanced strength attacks, it was enough to give Might Bai a hard time. Might Bai lay on the ground for two seconds before getting up.
He never expected Kazekaze to precisely grasp his flaw. That terrifying power spread from his abdomen to his entire body. Causing him to fly back more than ten meters in an instant. The entire training ground fell silent.
Everyone's face was one of jaw-dropping shock. If they hadn't been watching this match from start to finish, no one would believe it. The person who made Might Bai so embarrassed was Kazekaze! Even the usually composed Tobirama couldn't find his voice; he couldn't imagine any words to express his current feelings.
Unbelievable?
Incredible?
No.
It was even more exaggerated than that. This completely overturned his understanding! Immediately, Tobirama thought of an even more terrifying possibility. This match, could Might Bai actually lose?
"Might Bai was sent flying by Kazekaze?!" After an unknown amount of time, Hashirama finally opened his mouth wide, exclaiming in amazement. He rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he had seen something wrong. He even suspected that he might have fallen under some kind of illusion. Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen?
However, Hashirama quickly realized that his chakra was completely normal, with no signs of being under an illusion. And he didn't have presbyopia. Everything that had just happened was entirely real! Kazekaze had indeed kicked Might Bai more than ten meters away!
Beside him.
Uchiha Kagami's voice trembled, "Tell me I'm not seeing things—did that just happen?! Kazekaze not only opened the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates, but also kicked Might Bai... away!"
Sarutobi and Danzo nodded vigorously. Their eyesight wasn't bad. How could they not see it!
"Might Bai was suppressed by Kazekaze, and just now, if it were Danzo, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand up. In Sarutobi's view, the reason Might Bai could stand up now was because of his training method. He had trained his muscles to an astonishing degree. So when he took a direct kick from Kazekaze, his muscles absorbed some of the impact. If it were someone like Danzo, an ordinary person, with Kazekaze's kick… They'd probably be either dead or injured.
"Enough, Hiruzen..." Danzo said irritably.
But there was no doubt that everyone present had a sense of questioning their own existence. They had to know… Might Bai wasn't holding back, nor was he going easy. He was going all out in his fight with Kazekaze! The most crucial thing was… Yesterday, when Might Bai was training with Kazekaze, they were hiding in the bushes. They clearly saw… Kazekaze being completely suppressed by Might Bai. The two weren't even on the same level.
But, in just one day. Kazekaze had suppressed Might Bai, who was going all out. This growth rate was simply too astonishing! What had happened during the time they didn't know about? That allowed Kazekaze to undergo such a transformation. And what was with his Gate of View? Could it be that he had kept this card up his sleeve from the beginning? A pair of eyes filled with shock and daze focused on Kazekaze's small figure.
Monster!
Kazekaze was simply an incomprehensible monster!
"Kazekaze-sama, I never expected... at just seven years old, you would open the Gate of View. You're even more terrifying than I imagined. Looks like I have no choice but to go all out!, the Sixth Gate, Gate of View... open!"
However, just as Might Bai was about to open the Gate of View and fight Kazekaze again. Standing behind him, Tobirama finally couldn't help but speak.
"That's enough, Might Bai!"
