This was also the first time that Uzuki Yugao had realized that the blade's edge could be so beautiful.
Its imprint in the void seemed to be expounding the truth, as if telling Uzuki Yugao what true swordsmanship is, making Uzuki Yugao uncontrollably intoxicated by it.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment.
Because the memories of the two shadow clones facing the blade's edge and facing death were instantly transmitted back to Uzuki Yugao's mind.
Facing it directly and observing it from afar are completely different experiences. In the memory of facing it directly, the beauty, mystery, terror, and pressure of the blade light slashed by Chen Anxia caused Uzuki Yugao's state of mind to begin to collapse.
Just as Chen Anxia was about to take further life from Uzuki Yugao, a roar like that of a wild beast suddenly came from afar: "Eight Gates, Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate... Open!"
......
Chapter 579 Naiveté, Chen Anxia's Eight Gates Formation!
Almost the instant the sound reached Chen Anxia's ears, a green light suddenly appeared in front of Chen Anxia.
boom!
With a roar, a terrifying attack powerful enough to tear the air apart struck directly toward Chen Anxia's head.
Because the attack came so suddenly, and the attacker was so fast that he was not able to react in time.
Although it was only a brief moment, by the time Chen Anxia reacted, the attack, the heavy fist burning with green light, was already close to Chen Anxia's face.
The terrifying pressure of the punch, unleashing a violent gust of wind, caused Chen Anxia's face to ache terribly.
The time it takes for thought to process is far longer than the speed of sound.
In that instant, Chen Anxia's mind began to race.
Chen Anxia knew what the consequences would be if he were hit by that heavy punch.
Chen Anxia knew that he had no time to dodge this heavy punch, given the speed of the attacker.
One of the only two solutions currently is...
Without any hesitation, Chen Anxia directly entered the state of 'My heart has completely turned into nothingness, emptiness is nothingness,' which is the true state of selflessness.
In this state, every part of Chen Anxia's body can perceive the surrounding danger beyond instinct, no longer needing the brain to think before acting.
Swish!
In the critical moment, Chen Anxia's body moved with superhuman speed, narrowly dodging the heavy punch.
The one who launched the heavy punch, the Jonin known as the 'Proud Blue Beast of Konoha'—Might Guy—was shocked after his punch missed, exclaiming incredulously, "What!?"
Clearly, Matt Kay had no idea that his powerful punch would miss.
But Matt Kai's mind had been tempered by blood and tears, and he instantly banished all distracting thoughts and continued his pursuit of Chen Anxia.
Meanwhile, Might Guy said to Uzuki Yugao, who was still under the pressure of Chen Anxia's swordsmanship and the signs of death and had not yet come to her senses, "I'll hold him off, you go and bring back Uzumaki Naruto!"
After leaving those words, Might Guy ignored Uzuki Yugao and continued to attack Chen Anxia.
"Konoha Tornado!"
"Konoha's great whirlwind!"
"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"
"Power Prelude!"
......
The roars from Might Guy finally awakened Yugao Uzuki.
When Uzuki Yugao came to her senses, she felt completely exhausted, and cold sweat had soaked her clothes. She was also breathing heavily and uncontrollably.
Uzuki Yugao knew very well that if it hadn't been for Might Guy, she would definitely have died at Chen Anxia's hands.
This fact, coupled with Chen Anxia's displayed swordsmanship skills, unconsciously cast a shadow of fear over Chen Anxia in Uzuki Yugao's heart.
As a member of the Anbu, the instincts that had been trained into her bones allowed Uzuki Yugao to forcefully suppress the fear and shadow of Chen Anxia in her heart, and with her exhausted body, she was about to walk towards Uzumaki Naruto.
During this process, Uzuki Yugao's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the battle between Chen Anxia and Might Guy.
Upon seeing this, Uzuki Yugao's expression changed drastically.
Although it was impossible to see Chen Anxia and Might Guy's movements clearly, the captured images showed Might Guy's skin turning red and the green energy swirling around him.
Uzuki Yugao knew that Might Guy had already opened the third gate of the Eight Gates – the Gate of Life.
Uzuki Yugao knew very well that Might Guy's speed in his normal state was already ridiculously fast, let alone after he opened the Gate of Life.
Although it has not been measured in detail, according to Uzuki Yugao's own estimation, Might Guy's speed after opening the Gate of Life is very likely to be comparable to the speed of sound.
However, even at such a speed, Chen Anxia was able to easily dodge Might Guy's attacks.
This fact was hard for Uzuki Yugao to accept.
At the same time, Uzuki Yugao could hardly believe that the perennial bottom of the Ninja Academy and the strongest repeat student in history would possess such strength.
Most importantly, Chen Anxia is only 16 years old.
Even though Chen Anxia had been hiding his abilities, the fact that he possessed such strength at the age of 16 was terrifying just to think about.
If Chen Anxia, with such talent, were allowed to truly grow, then given his current relationship with Konoha Village...
As she thought about it, Uzuki Yugao seemed to be contemplating some terrifying future. Goosebumps rose all over her body, and she felt a chill run straight to the top of her head.
In her heart, the nightmare named Chen Anxia reappeared, seemingly trying to drag Uzuki Yugao into an abyss of fear.
Gritting her teeth, Uzuki Yugao tried her best not to look at Chen Anxia and Might Guy's battle, tried her best not to let her mind wander, and dragged her exhausted body toward Uzumaki Naruto.
While Chen Anxia and Might Guy were locked in combat, the pursuing Anbu, Kurenai Yuhi, and the players who had accepted the mission all arrived one after another.
Might Guy, who was focused on fighting Chen Anxia, was unaware of this.
At this moment, Might Guy was no less shocked than Uzuki Yugao. Only after fighting Chen Anxia in person could he understand the terrifying nature of Chen Anxia's talent.
This also aroused Might Guy's interest in talent. While chasing Chen Anxia, he said, "I know you, the notorious good-for-nothing of the Ninja Academy."
"Although I don't know why you, who have such strength, chose to hide yourself before, and why you suddenly caused such a farce."
"But I can assure you that if you give up now, I can plead for you in front of the Hokage and protect you. I can also take you as my last disciple and pass on everything I have to you."
Chen Anxia understood Matt Kai and knew that everything Matt Kai said came from the bottom of his heart and was genuine.
but...
Chen Anxia stared blankly at Might Guy and said, "You're too naive, Might Guy."
"You don't understand the Third Hokage at all, and you don't understand Konoha."
"The roots of Konoha are now rotten to the core, and the culprit is the Third Hokage."
"I won't say more. You can verify the truth with Kakashi privately afterward."
Chen Anxia's words startled Matt Kai, planting a seed of doubt in his heart.
At the same time, Matt Kai also learned of Chen Anxia's wishes.
Taking a deep breath, Might Guy said with a determined look in his eyes, "If that's the case, then I'll get serious."
"Even if it means severely injuring you, I will spare you. A genius like you should not be left outside Konoha, much less be an enemy of Konoha!"
As he spoke, Might Guy's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he roared, "Injury Gate...open! Closure Gate...open!"
Faced with the naive Might Guy, the Uzuki Yugao heading towards Naruto, and the Konoha ninjas who were pursuing them, Chen Anxia knew that the battle could not be delayed any longer.
Chen Anxia then voluntarily withdrew from the true limit of the Perfect Universe, looked at Might Guy who had opened the Gate of Death, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Eight Gates, I can do that too!"
As he spoke, Chen Anxia's expression suddenly hardened. He clenched his fists and softly chanted, "Eight Gates Formation: Open Gate, Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Block Gate..."
"Also, the Gate of View... open!"
boom!
......
Chapter 580 The Souls of the Pure Land, A Brand New Illusion!
Jing Gate, the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation.
Once the view gate is opened, you can enter a semi-open buffer state.
This means maintaining the green energy emitted after the door is opened, but without any changes to the body, in order to reduce the consumption load and damage to oneself.
And when needed, it can unleash its full combat power instantly.
Might Guy was well aware of this, as he himself could also open the View Gate.
However, opening each additional gate in the Eight Gates Formation increases the burden on the body, and may even cause irreparable internal injuries.
Therefore, Might Guy determines the number of gates he needs to open in battle based on the strength of his opponent.
Previously, after a series of battles, Might Guy was confident that he could attack and defeat Chen Anxia after opening the Gate of Du, as Chen Anxia's true limit of perfection was.
Might Guy never expected that Chen Anxia would also know the Eight Gates Formation.
This was also what shocked and baffled Mitchell the most.
It's important to know that the Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden technique within Konoha Village and is recorded in the Scroll of Seals, which no one except the Hokage of each generation can view.
This also means that apart from the Hokage of each generation and the developers of the techniques, no one else should be able to know or even learn them.
Might Guy knows the Eight Gates because his father knew it and passed it on to him.
This is an extremely special case.
As far as Might Guy knew, he was the only one in Konoha who possessed this special circumstance.
As for why his father knew the Eight Gates Formation, Might Guy had no idea.
So how did Chen Anxia learn the forbidden technique of Eight Gates Formation?
Moreover, Chen Anxia's physical abilities also greatly surprised Matt Kai.
It's important to know that while the Eight Gates Formation is powerful, opening each gate requires a certain level of physical fitness from the person opening it.
If someone forces themselves to open a door when their physical condition is inadequate, their body will collapse instantly, and they will lose their life after the collapse.
Take Might Guy himself as an example. He trained his body rigorously with his father from a young age. Under such circumstances, Might Guy was only able to barely open the View Gate when he was 16 years old.
