Chapter 337 Might Guy VS Kisame Hoshigaki
Chapter 337 Might Guy VS Kisame Hoshigaki
In the center of the Konoha Giant Egg, on a wide arena.
Might Guy and Kisame Hoshigaki stood facing each other.
"start!"
On the high platform, the deep voice of the chief examiner, Hatake Sakumo, rang out, and he instantly threw down the kunai in his hand as a signal.
"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
Kisame didn't hesitate at all, and his hands formed hand seals at an astonishing speed.
Almost the instant the word "start" was uttered, a huge water shark spewed from his mouth, rushing straight at Matt Kai with a violent torrent of water and a ferocious, all-consuming momentum.
Faced with this incredibly powerful water-based technique, Guy did not choose to dodge.
"Konoha Gale!"
He roared and kicked out with his right leg like a spring. A visible green gust of wind rose from the ground and actually kicked the water shark in half!
"Splash!"
Water splashed everywhere, landing on the arena.
"That's some real strength."
Kisame narrowed his pupil-less eyes slightly, watching Might Guy burst through the water mist like a cannonball and rush straight toward him, his brows furrowing slightly.
As a qualified ninja, he had naturally collected information on all the Konoha players beforehand, especially the one with thick eyebrows who had shone brightly in the Forest of Death.
The intelligence report clearly states that this guy named Might Guy has extremely heavy, specially made weights strapped to all four of his limbs.
However, Kisame's face darkened as he saw Kai charging towards him.
The guy was still wearing the weighted gear that the intelligence report mentioned on his wrists and ankles!
"You didn't even take off your weights when facing me?"
Kisame grinned, revealing a set of chilling, sharp teeth—a furious outburst born from being slighted.
Kisame didn't draw his sword; such an arrogant opponent didn't deserve for him to draw his.
He quickly formed hand seals, gathering a massive amount of chakra in his arms, and then threw a punch at Guy's flying kick.
"Bang--!!!"
Their fists and feet collided, producing a deafening thud.
A visible white shockwave emanated from the two individuals, spreading outwards and stirring up dust at the edge of the arena.
"hiss--"
A collective gasp rippled through the audience.
This is hardly a battle between genin! The sheer impact of this pure physical collision is incredibly exciting to watch.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
On the commentary stage, Nishikawa Tetsu's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"Unbelievable! Facing Kisame Hoshigaki from Kirigakure, Might Guy from Konoha has chosen the most primal and manly way—a head-on confrontation!"
"This is the clash of youth! No fancy ninjutsu, just pure taijutsu! Let's see which contestant is truly superior!"
On the arena.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
Kai's attacks were like a storm, each punch and kick accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.
Kisame, on the other hand, is adept at close combat thanks to his excellent water-style fighting skills.
Although he hasn't yet obtained the giant sword Samehada that can absorb chakra, his combination of taijutsu and water-style techniques still makes him extremely difficult to deal with.
Whenever Guy's attack is about to hit a vital spot, Kisame can always use a thin film of chakra water to buffer it, or use water release to instantly create distance.
"Huff... huff..."
After dozens of rounds, Kai's breathing became heavy, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
The effects of the weight were beginning to show. Although he was still very fast, his stamina was rapidly depleting under Kisame's kind of exertion.
"What's wrong? You're already out of energy?"
Kisame forced Kai back with a heavy punch, and seeing Kai panting, the mockery on his face intensified.
"You think you can defeat me with that ridiculous burden? In Kirigakure, an arrogant guy like you would have been dead in some quagmire long ago."
Kisame formed hand seals again.
"Water Release: Five-Foot Shark!"
This time, five water sharks leaped out of the puddle beneath his feet simultaneously, opening their gaping maws from five different directions, blocking all of Kai's escape routes.
"not good!"
Obito, who was on the preparation table, couldn't help but stand up and grip the railing tightly with both hands.
"What is Kai doing? Take off his weights already!"
On the arena.
Faced with the five unavoidable sharks, Kai took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before.
"You're right, Hidden Mist ninja."
Kai ignored the approaching water shark and slowly squatted down, placing his hands on the leg wraps on his calves.
"With that weight, I really can't defeat you."
"However, this is not arrogance."
Kai raised his head, and his eyes, beneath his thick eyebrows, shone with a movingly earnest light.
"Because in the journey of youth, one should never easily break free of constraints until the very last moment. This is a promise to oneself, and also a respect for one's opponent."
"But now..."
"Click. Click."
Kai untied the weights from his legs, then stood up and removed the weights from his wrists as well.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four seemingly unremarkable weighted equipment pieces fell to the ground with a loud thud, like iron balls hitting the ground, but the arena floor remained intact.
"What?!"
Kisame's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the heavy equipment.
Although he had gathered information about the weight, seeing the scene in person still shocked him.
The guy who was fighting him so evenly just now was carrying such a terrifying weight?!
This seemingly light load actually produced such a loud noise.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Kai moved his wrists and ankles, and his joints made a "crackling" sound.
He looked up and flashed a set of gleaming white teeth at Kisame.
"Now, my true strength will be revealed!"
"Konoha—"
"Whoosh!"
Before he could finish speaking, Kai's figure... no, he didn't even leave a trace; he vanished into thin air!
"Where did you go?!"
Kisame was terrified. Before he could react, a deadly gust of wind appeared above his head.
"A prelude to power!"
"boom--!!!"
