Chapter 116: MSIN: Chapter 115
---
Focusing on taijutsu and then achieving ultimate taijutsu seems like a natural progression, but in reality, it's not simple at all.
Just take Guy's weighted training, for example. It's definitely super-overloading and super-extreme.
Constantly training, making training a part of life, that's something Haori can't do.
Although he's been carrying an iron gourd these past few days, and it's filled with the Third Kazekage's special iron sand. If you're talking about absolute weight, this thing is definitely heavy.
Isn't this a form of training?
It's not really.
First of all, the iron sand is always magnetic. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to maintain its shape.
Secondly, it's precisely because of this magnetism, and by utilizing this magnetism, that Haori can easily carry this big thing… If it wasn't magnetic, then there would be a problem.
He wouldn't be able to carry this thing.
To deal with Guy's Eight Inner Gates, Haori decided to just use ninjutsu taijutsu. As for the rest of his Lightning Release or Fire Release, they were abandoned. This doesn't mean he wouldn't go all out against Guy, but using those methods against Guy wouldn't be meaningful.
Suppressing his own jutsu, trying to make the match evenly matched, this was Haori's approach.
After all, it wasn't a life-or-death battle.
Haori made a slight, empty fist in front of him, and the iron sand gathered, forming a three-meter-long iron sand spear in his hand.
Then he struck a pose… well, he just struck a pose.
He didn't have any skill points added to long weapons.
He wasn't comfortable with ninja tools that were over 50 centimeters long. He wouldn't use any ninja tools over one meter long at all.
No matter how strong your learning ability is, you can't become a master of everything. Moreover, some things require long-term training to achieve results. And Haori has never done any targeted training in long weapons.
Might Guy opened four gates, breaking the human body's restriction on chakra, thereby gaining ultimate speed and strength.
Haori was naturally alert. He needed to know how fast Guy was at this time.
With Lightning Release, Haori could also be very fast. But in reality, fundamentally speaking, his speed was the speed of going from point A to point B.
His attack frequency per unit time could also be considered high, but it wasn't ridiculously high.
But some ninjas are different. They're super-fast with their hands and feet, and their attack speed is dazzling. For example, Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, who used several long, thin blades to turn a perfectly good Sasuke into a standard honeycomb.
And Guy, using the Eight Inner Gates, could manage to do both.
Guy's skin had turned red, not the kind of red eyes, but like some kind of dried red earth. At a glance, you could tell he was in some kind of state.
Does the Eight Inner Gates not require talent?
It requires a lot of talent.
Can you achieve your goal just through hard work? No world is that beautiful.
Can you open the gates just by pushing yourself to your limit? There's no such thing as a free lunch. If someone else were to do the same level of training as Guy, would they be able to cultivate the Eight Inner Gates?
Taijutsu also requires talent. High-level taijutsu, like high-level ninjutsu, especially requires talent.
Guy might seem ordinary, but in reality… he's a genius. Ninjas in the ninja world are either valuable or worthless. From both perspectives, Guy is a genius, and there's nothing wrong with that.
So, the Eight Inner Gates is a realm that Haori can't touch.
Lightning flickered on the spear.
The two were less than ten meters apart.
Haori loosened his grip on the iron sand spear, then tightened it again.
Raise it horizontally!
Spin!
Throw with speed!
The black spear, with a blue and white beam, pierced the distance between them in an instant, using the shortest amount of time.
Due to its size and output limitations, this long, hard, black stick couldn't possibly have the speed of a Railgun, but it wasn't slow either.
Haori wasn't worried that Guy would be pierced through the heart. After all, this was a sparring match, not a life-or-death battle. He had limited the power of his attack.
If Guy in this state was still one-shotted by this technique, then he would be truly dead for nothing.
In a flash!
The iron sand spear did come into contact with Guy, but the attack didn't take effect.
The iron sand spear arrived in an instant, Guy's body shifted to the right, then his left arm bent, his hand like an iron hook, and he grabbed the spear that was rushing at him at high speed.
This kind of throwing attack, of course, wasn't just launched by Haori using his physical strength, so the power and momentum it contained were not small.
Guy realized this when he came into contact with it.
His left hand, wrapped in bandages, gripped the middle part of the iron sand spear, and then his arm and side clamped the front end!
Guy's physique was slender, but his arm was like an iron clamp. With two points, he firmly clamped Haori's attack.
Step back to cushion!
The powerful momentum caused Guy to slide back more than ten meters before stopping.
Lightning sparks flickered on half of his body.
But he was as if he didn't feel it.
Guy, who had opened four gates, was constantly enduring bone-deep pain. He needed to resist while attacking.
Long-term overloading training not only gave Guy a physique that ordinary ninjas couldn't reach, but more importantly, his spirit was incredibly strong. This is what it means to be a ninja.
"Fast!"
"And heavy!"
Although he said it was heavy, Guy tossed the iron sand spear, then swung it a few times.
It was as light as a feather.
"Here you go!"
Almost before anyone could react, the iron sand spear was thrown back with almost the same speed.
Damn it, have you been to the set of Seven Deadly Sins?
Haori waved his hand, a sheet of iron sand blocking in front of him. Then the spear arrived.
However, piercing through this thin layer of defense, the iron sand spear was dismembered, then reintegrated.
Anyone with any sense would absolutely not accept Haori's name for this technique, which is similar to Gaara's.
This isn't Raiden Yui. It's something that's always trying to deal with Yui - a black, ugly tentacle monster.
The distance between the two was pulled apart slightly.
"It's about to begin!"
Guy's body began to sink slightly, then charged towards Haori!
Like a gale!
The released chakra was clearly visible. Guy's body was like a steaming volcano, and the heat radiating from his body distorted the chakra.
Like being in steam, his appearance was also blurred.
It was clear that Guy was probably fighting in this state for the first time, and his control over the surging power was definitely not perfect.
But this is what made it more explosive!
With every step he took, the ground beneath his feet cracked in a spiderweb pattern, whether he was stepping on soil or brick.
With every step he took, his body became more blurred, his speed increased.
Then, one step after another, simple and unbeatable.
Both pursuing ultimate speed, Guy's Eight Inner Gates are different from Haori's Lightning Release. Haori's approach is more technical, while Guy's Eight Inner Gates are more violent.
It's the feeling of breaking through the human body's limits without any regard for the consequences.
Guy's inherent speed is 10. Perhaps doing 100,000 speed exercises could increase his speed to 20. And doing a million exercises could increase it to 21. So, he'll do a million.
Guy's inherent strength is 10. Perhaps doing 100,000 strength exercises could increase his strength to 20. And doing a million exercises could increase it to 21. So, he'll do a million.
And even more.
This stubborn, tenacious, very reasonable yet completely unreasonable way is Guy's path to strength.
Everyone can do it, but in reality, no one can.
That counterattack just now gave Haori an estimate of Guy's strength, but it wasn't enough.
So, he didn't engage in close combat with Guy for now.
He chose to retreat.
A fighting style like Haori's, similar to Gaara's, should be unfavorable for a ninja who relies on taijutsu for close combat.
But it's also important to consider what level of taijutsu is unfavorable. If you shave Guy's head now, he could probably become a ninja who fights for fun and then one-punch KO everything that stands in his way.
The iron sand behind Haori suddenly spread out. Lightning flashed on the iron sand, transforming into countless shuriken or kunai of various sizes, shooting towards the advancing Might Guy!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Dust rose, and Guy's figure appeared and disappeared!
This could also be called a barrage, right?
But in reality, it's COS.
"Blood tide like iron, heart like crystal."
"This Kora-da-da is made of limitless."
This is probably the kind of incantation that should be used now.
Because Haori is copying certain people's certain techniques in the most inferior way… the kind that doesn't pay royalties.
Including Gilgamesh, Shirou Emiya, and Hitagi Senjougahara.
