Chapter 517: Battle of Fists Part-2
"Eight Inner Chakra Enlightenment?!"
Guy tilts his head in confusion.
"Mmm the Eight Inner Chakra Enlightenment is an extremely powerful technique to harmonize mind, body, spirit, and chakra to exert strength far beyond the normal abilities of a human.
Unlike the Eight Inner gate formations, this technique permanently opens the chakra nodes in the body and maintains the harmony of both chakra and spirit within those chakra nodes. This harmony of chakra, spirit, and life energy generates a unique and more potent energy called Aura. A human can use this aura to perform physical feats far beyond the reach of a normal shinobi."
Chen points a finger toward Guy. He infuses a tiny bit of his cyan aura at the tip of his finger and smashes it toward the ground.
Bang
Chen pauses his finger an inch above the ground. ble rumble
The ground beneath Chen's feet cracks open and a ten-meter-wide rift split open the ground.
"The aura is not just the control of physical strength and spiritual energy. It's the control of the very laws of nature: the transfer and conversion of kinetic and potential energy." Chen explains the essence of aura to Guy.
"If you can master this, then you will truly become the most powerful Taijutsu expert in this world."
Sigh
Chen sighs and gazes toward the sky.
Gulp
Guy gulps his saliva as he recalls Izuna's explanation about Aura. Both of them have striking similarities with each other. Though Izuna's explanation has more depth to it. Nonetheless, it was complicated for him to make complete sense.
"T-then master Chen how many chakra gates did you open?" Guy enquires.
"Sigh"
Master Chen sighs again and turns towards Guy.
"I wasn't talented enough. I was only able to open four chakra nodes in my lifetime. In this matter, your father Might Dai was much more talented than me. His sixth inner gate was almost on par with my Fourth chakra node and his seventh gate surpassed my Fourth chakra node by quite a bit. As for the eight gates hehe let's not talk about it!" Chen chuckles.
Shoom
Suddenly, Chen's expression turns stiff as a pulse of chakra flashes past his mind.
"Guy I can't control my body anymore. So, be prepared!"
Whoosh
A cyan aura envelops Chen's body, and he disappears from Guy's vision.
"He's fast!" Guy swiftly takes a defensive position and closely follows Chen's movements.
Swoosh Bang
Chen appears behind Guy and performs a roundhouse kick.
Bang
The kicks land on Guy and sends him flying across the forest.
Bam
Guy crashes through multiple trees before smashing into a boulder.
Whoosh
Chen reappears in front of Guy and opens his mouth.
"That was my afterimage you were tracking!"
Swoosh
Chen stomps the ground and once again three more Chen appear in Guy's vision.
Neji sighs and shakes his head.
"What are we even doing here? We should be retreating behind the back lines! And yet here I am with you two."
"It was Lee's idea!" Tenten adjusts the wings of a glider as he pushes it towards Lee with an angry expression.
Hehe
Lee sweats at Tenten's expression.
"But But Guy sensei is fighting on the battlefield for our sake. How can I sit behind and watch from the back line, even after we have grown strong to such an extent?" Lee makes puppy eyes towards Neji and sticks close to him.
Augh
"Fine!" Neji is repulsed by Lee's sweat and tears and reluctantly agrees.
"You both owe me thirty thousand Ry each for these flying devices." Tenten's emotionless voice douses down their enthusiasm.
The trio ties the flying device around their back and jumps down from the hill. They swiftly fly towards the battlefield.
Bzzt
A small bolt of lightning flies from the black clouds and zaps Lee. Smoke rises from Lee and his glider.
"Lee, are you alright?" Neji asks in worry.
"I I am fine!" Lee gives a thumbs up with smoke rising from his body.
Back on the battlefield,
Whoosh swoosh
Master Chen swiftly flickers in front of Guy and lands a flurry of kicks and punches at him.
"Leaf Great whirlwind,"
Guy helplessly dodges every strike he could and blocks every strike he couldn't.
"Guy!"
Kakashi glances in Guy's direction but is unable to help him as he is held back by enemies on every side.
"Tch" Guy clicks his tongue.
"Looks like I can't hold back anymore." He sighs and prepares to open the Seventh Gate.
"GUUYYYY SENSEEEIII!!!"
Lee's voice echoes in Guy's ears.
Sniff
Tears appear in Guy's ears as he clenches his fists.
"I can even hear Lee cheering for me in this battle. Looks like I can't give up. With this battle, I will surpass my limits and set an example for Lee."
Haah
Guy extends his arms in front of his body and prepares to further rile up his chakra and aura.
"AAAHH GUY SENSEEIIII!!!"
"W-what?! Even Neji and Tenten are cheering up for me. Now I have to win this battle at all costs."
Tears flood out from Guy's eyes.
Suddenly,
BANG BANG BANG
Three explosions ring in the air.
