Chapter 84: Seventh Gate vs. Seventh Gate, Slaying Danzo Again!
🕑 Added 2024-08-18 21:05:42 +0000 UTCIs the Reaper Death Seal powerful? Undoubtedly!
After all, it’s a super kill move that ignores the difference in strength and defense, and is executed at the cost of the caster’s life—how could it not be strong?
However, Uchiha Akira was well aware that for the Reaper Death Seal to succeed, there was a crucial prerequisite: the caster must grab the target.
This is the advantage of knowing the story in advance!
Seeing the Third Hokage rushing toward him with the grim reaper's shadow trailing behind, Uchiha Akira immediately retreated, not giving him any chance to get close.
In his Seventh Gate state, Uchiha Akira's speed was among the top in the ninja world. If he wanted to evade, even the Fourth Raikage might not be able to catch up.
Thus, for two full minutes, the battlefield was filled with the figures of the Third Hokage and Uchiha Akira, but the Third Hokage couldn’t get close to him at all!
Though Danzo had lost an eye and an arm, he could still see that the Third Hokage was trying to get close to Akira.
After some thought, Danzo realized that without an arm, he couldn’t form hand seals and thus couldn’t use ninjutsu.
As for high-level techniques like single-handed seals, Danzo wasn’t capable of that!
So, he could only pull out two kunai, timing them just right to throw at Uchiha Akira, hoping to block his movements.
Danzo didn’t understand why, in his Seventh Gate state, Akira was retreating from the Third Hokage's attack. But since Akira was retreating, it made sense for Danzo to try and stop him.
The Reaper Death Seal’s specter could only be seen by the caster and the target, so Danzo was unaware of it.
With his three-tomoe Sharingan, Akira’s visual acuity was sharp. Sensing the two kunai flying toward him, he swiftly knocked them aside.
At the same time, his Sharingan swept over to Danzo, and his killing intent surged.
At first, Akira had been focused on dodging the Third Hokage's pursuit, leaving Danzo unbothered. If he had just stayed out of the way like a bystander, Akira might have ignored him.
But now, Danzo had decided to cause trouble.
Anyone who’s played video games knows that when fighting a boss, it's often the annoying minions that cause the most trouble. Most people would choose to clear the area first before taking on the boss, right?
At this moment, Danzo was like one of those annoying minions.
Swish!
Originally focused on evading the Third Hokage, Akira now activated his Body Flicker Technique, instantly appearing before Danzo!
Danzo’s sole remaining eye widened in shock as Akira appeared in front of him in a flash. He felt a deep terror.
He wanted to dodge, but how could he escape?
In Danzo’s vision, all he could see was the shadow of a fist rapidly enlarging.
Then, his chest was pierced through, leaving a large gaping hole!
Blood mixed with shattered bones exploded out of his back.
Danzo looked down at his chest, seeing a bowl-sized hole, clear through to the other side. The light in his eyes slowly faded, and his body collapsed.
“Lord Third Hokage!”
“Elder Danzo is dead again?”
“Wait, why did I say ‘again’?”
“This… This is Uchiha Akira, he actually dared to attack the Hokage!”
Following the massive disturbance caused by the Daytime Tiger, many of Konoha’s ninjas had begun to arrive on the scene, including Kakashi and Might Guy.
They arrived just in time to see Uchiha Akira kill Danzo with a single punch.
Seeing the Third Hokage in such a pitiful state, seemingly on the brink of collapse, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
On one hand, Might Guy was stunned that Akira, who had opened the Seventh Gate just a few days ago, could still fight today.
Kakashi, on the other hand, was shocked to see that Danzo and the Third Hokage had seemingly teamed up, and yet Danzo had been killed?
Was Akira’s strength really this overwhelming?
However, from the situation, Akira still appeared full of energy, while the Third Hokage was exhausted.
But why was Akira being chased all over by the Third Hokage?
“You’ve come at just the right time. As the Third Hokage of Konoha, I order you all to take down Uchiha Akira together!”
Breathing heavily, the Third Hokage was clearly at the end of his strength, but seeing Kakashi and a dozen other ninjas arrive—and with more gathering—he urgently gave the order.
The Third Hokage’s usual upright image was useful after all. At his command, the surrounding ninjas immediately launched an attack on Akira, including several jōnin.
However, even though these jōnin were somewhat stronger, compared to Akira in his Seventh Gate state, they were nothing more than slightly sturdier ants.
Even though Kakashi had a Sharingan, he still couldn’t keep up with Akira’s movements.
In the blink of an eye, several jōnin had already been incapacitated by Akira!
Although Akira was dodging the Third Hokage’s pursuit, it didn’t mean he couldn’t deal with these minor obstacles.
“Might Guy!”
Seeing that ordinary jōnin couldn’t hold Akira back, the Third Hokage specifically called out Might Guy by name.
After all, it was Might Guy who taught Akira the Eight Gates. Now, only he has the ability to restrain him.
“Sigh…”
Hearing the Third Hokage specifically name him, and seeing the eyes of many Konoha ninjas on him, Might Guy sighed inwardly.
As a ninja of Konoha, he couldn’t defy the Hokage’s orders!
Faced with the conflict between loyalty and friendship, Guy knew he had to choose one.
Besides, Guy could see that if he didn’t give it his all, the Third Hokage might actually die here today!
With that in mind, Guy began to prepare. He crossed his arms in front of himself, lowering his center of gravity slightly.
The veins on his body bulged, like little worms wriggling beneath his skin.
Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder…
Boom!
Just a few days ago, Guy had managed to break through to the Seventh Gate. Now, he pushed himself to open it!
A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from his body, and the same blue steam began to rise from him!
The chakra, this overwhelming chakra, burst forth.
In terms of aura alone, with both of them having opened the Seventh Gate and possessing the chakra of elite jōnin, the intensity of Guy’s chakra rivaled that of Akira!
Seeing Guy in this state, the Konoha ninjas who had been intimidated by Akira’s power began to feel relieved.
“Great! Might Guy can also open the Seventh Gate!”
Seeing Guy’s form, enveloped in the same blue steam, the Third Hokage felt a surge of joy.
Indeed, with both of them in the Seventh Gate state, Might Guy should be able to hold Akira in check.
As long as Guy can restrain him, I’ll have the chance to use the Reaper Death Seal and take Akira down with me!
At my age, if I can drag down a Uchiha whose potential surpasses even Madara’s, isn’t that a worthy trade?
Whoosh!
Opening the Seventh Gate, Guy indeed wanted to see how he compared to Akira. Moving like lightning, Guy charged at him!
With a simple, unadorned punch, it was pure strength and speed!
Seeing Guy’s punch coming, Akira didn’t dodge; instead, he met it head-on with a punch of his own!
Fist collided with fist, Seventh Gate against Seventh Gate.
A terrifying shockwave burst forth from the point of impact, sweeping out in all directions and forcing the surrounding ninjas back by a hundred meters!
Simultaneously, Akira was forced to take three steps back, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground!
“Hiss, the power of the Eight Gates is truly terrifying!”
“Just a clash of fists, and it’s as powerful as an A-rank ninjutsu clash?”
“With such speed and power, even a jōnin doesn’t stand a chance!”
The Konoha ninjas watching were shocked by the sheer force of the fist collision between Akira and Guy.
In contrast, the Third Hokage felt overwhelming joy!
Indeed, Guy’s strength in the Seventh Gate state even surpassed Akira’s by a bit?
Excellent! There’s no need for anyone else’s help—just Might Guy alone can hold Akira in check, giving me the opportunity to use the Reaper Death Seal!
“To think I’m slightly weaker in raw strength?”
In a direct clash, Akira was surprised to find himself forced back three steps!
However, after a moment of reflection, he could accept this outcome.
Firstly, he was only seven years old, and his body wasn’t fully developed yet.
Compared to other ninjas, this wasn’t much of a disadvantage, but when both were in the Seventh Gate state, this small disadvantage could be the deciding factor.
Moreover, his taijutsu was more of a hobby; even the Daytime Tiger
Moreover, his taijutsu was more of a hobby; even the Daytime Tiger was something he had copied from Might Guy during the Fourth Great Ninja War in the Life Simulation.
Meanwhile, Might Guy was a pure taijutsu specialist, and at the peak of his physical prowess, his body was honed to an exceptional level.
Right now, he truly was Konoha's Blue Beast!
So, when it came to pure strength, it was understandable that Akira couldn’t match up to Might Guy.
However, Guy's advantages lay in his strength and taijutsu skills.
But Akira’s advantages were that, in this state, he could still use ninjutsu and had the visual prowess of the Sharingan!
Therefore, with both of them in the Seventh Gate state, each had their strengths and weaknesses!
