Chapter 282: Leaf Dragon God vs Daytime Tiger
Teacher Chen patted the dust off his body and stood up. He had trained taijutsu for half his life, and his body was much tougher than an ordinary ninja's. This level of impact would not affect the rest of the battle.
After the previous clash, Mugetsu's impression of Teacher Chen completely changed.
Teacher Chen's taijutsu was even stronger than his Ninjutsu, and he had even mastered taijutsu techniques that Mugetsu could not fully see through.
"What a pity. If he had been born ten or twenty years earlier, my taijutsu would have been even stronger," Teacher Chen thought to himself.
If there had been a taijutsu ninja like Mugetsu more than ten years ago, he would definitely have challenged him every day, and his own taijutsu would definitely be stronger than it was now.
But now that was no longer realistic. His body was already in its final peak period, and too many battles would only make him enter the stage of declining strength earlier.
"But it is not bad to encounter such an opponent at my peak." A smile appeared on Teacher Chen's face.
When he said that his taijutsu was the strongest, it was partly others praising him, but he also had his own pride. He said that his taijutsu could not beat the Third Hokage mainly because the Third Hokage had Enma. If it was bare handed, he might not necessarily lose.
"Leaf Dragon God."
Teacher Chen unhesitatingly used his self created advanced taijutsu. Facing such a powerful opponent, he naturally had to fight with all his might.
Teacher Chen condensed a large amount of chakra in his lower body, then unleashed all of it at once, kicking out a whirlwind kick at an extremely high speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Almost instantly, a dragon shaped tornado over thirty meters high appeared. The powerful cutting force instantly severed all the trees around Teacher Chen into sections of wood. Not only the trees, but everything near the tornado around him was torn to shreds, with wood chips and yellow dust flying everywhere.
"How exaggerated. So Teacher Chen did not use his full strength in the last match." Looking at the incredibly tall Leaf Dragon God, Genma subconsciously shifted his butt backward. He felt there was a risk of being hit even just watching the battle.
"How will Teacher Mugetsu respond to this move?" Guy's eyes were fixed on the cyan tornado on the field, very curious what kind of taijutsu Mugetsu would use to counter Teacher Chen's Leaf Dragon God.
"How should Teacher Mugetsu respond to such an attack?" Because of the earlier exchanges, Ebisu no longer dared to guarantee that Mugetsu's strength was inferior to Teacher Chen's.
"Is this taijutsu or Ninjutsu? It looks so cool." Obito could not help but exclaim as he looked at the destructive cyan dragon.
He even wanted to ask Mugetsu if he knew this technique. He really wanted to learn it.
"As for this taijutsu..." Mugetsu showed a thoughtful expression. As the owner of proficient level Leaf Dragon God, and having watched the anime, he knew the Leaf Dragon God's weakness.
Because it was essentially a tornado, the eye of the storm was the Leaf Dragon God's weak point. If he could find an opportunity to enter the eye of the storm, he could break it.
Mugetsu thought for a moment and decided to go head on against the Leaf Dragon God using taijutsu. This was not a battle with a true enemy; there was no need to achieve the greatest result with the least amount of effort.
"Eight Gates, Gate of Life, open."
Mugetsu directly opened the third of the Eight Gates, greatly enhancing his already powerful body.
He planned to use the Noon Tiger he had obtained before to counter Teacher Chen's Leaf Dragon God.
However, with his current physical strength, even with the Mark, he could not meet the conditions to activate Noon Tiger. Even if he weakened Noon Tiger's power, he still had to open three more of the Eight Gates.
Mugetsu condensed a large amount of chakra in his fist and unleashed incredibly rapid straight punches into the air. The air was continuously compressed under his blinding punches.
"Noon Tiger."
After Mugetsu delivered his last punch, the compressed air suddenly erupted, and a huge transparent tiger appeared, rushing toward the Leaf Dragon God like an air cannon.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The moment the tiger shaped air cannon appeared, an immense shockwave spread out. Trees nearby were directly knocked down, and even trees farther away had their leaves rustling loudly from the impact.
The unprepared Ebisu was directly blown backward by the powerful shockwave. Guy immediately entered the Rock Breathing state to stabilize himself, then quickly pulled Ebisu to safety.
Genma was not much better off than Ebisu, but he reacted a little faster, hugging a nearby big tree in time, which prevented him from being blown away like Ebisu.
Obito entered the Flame Breathing full concentration state to resist the powerful impact.
"What kind of terrifying move is this? We are already so far away, yet the aftershock is still this strong," Genma complained.
When the Leaf Dragon God appeared, he could at least subconsciously scoot backward. But when Noon Tiger was unleashed, it was like it did not even want to give them time to dodge and simply blew them away.
"So strong." Guy looked at Mugetsu, who had unleashed the tiger shaped air cannon, with a shocked expression. He felt that Mugetsu's current strength could kill him with a single punch. Just the aftershock of that move had such power.
"Although it is not as cool looking as the dragon, this one seems stronger," Obito thought to himself as he looked at the giant air cannon tiger. The Leaf Dragon God had not caused this much commotion when it first appeared.
All four of them watched the battleground with extreme seriousness, eyes fixed on the dragon and tiger that were about to collide, eagerly anticipating the outcome of this clash.
"Such pure and powerful strength." After Mugetsu used Noon Tiger, Teacher Chen, who was inside the tornado, instantly sensed an incredibly powerful force rushing toward him.
Even Obito and the others watching from afar could feel Noon Tiger's terrifying power, let alone Teacher Chen, who was facing it directly. He sensed a force stronger than anything he had seen before.
Under the stimulation of this power, Teacher Chen was incredibly excited. Such a taijutsu battle was unprecedented for him.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the tiger shaped air cannon unleashed by Mugetsu and the cyan giant dragon kicked out by Teacher Chen collided.
Roar.
The cyan giant dragon and the white giant tiger tore into each other. The huge white tiger bit into the dragon's body with its sharp fangs, while the cyan dragon was not to be outdone, lashing the tiger with its body and letting the powerful cutting winds slash at it.
Boom, boom, boom.
The collision of tiger and dragon caused huge explosions on the ground around them. The earth could not withstand this terrifying force and burst open, with dust flying everywhere.
Shockwaves rushed in all directions, knocking down trees, blowing away objects, and leaving the surroundings in ruins.
Amidst the tiger's roar and the dragon's roar, both the giant tiger and the giant dragon became filled with cracks, eventually shattering and dissipating together. A disheveled Teacher Chen emerged from the chaos.
Mugetsu canceled his Eight Gates and Rock Breathing Mark state, walked forward, and said with a smile,
"Senior, you are indeed Konoha's strongest taijutsu ninja. Even after I used all my methods, I could only barely offset your Leaf Dragon God."
Mugetsu did not plan to continue fighting. In his previous state, he could not only use Noon Tiger. With those two enhancements stacked together, any taijutsu he used would be incredibly powerful. Combined with the Transparent World, it would become a dimensionality reduction attack against Teacher Chen.
He had said they would stop when it was enough, and he meant it. He had not come here to defeat Teacher Chen.
Teacher Chen was slightly stunned, finally understanding the art of language. Mugetsu clearly looked more relaxed, yet in his words it became that he had barely offset Teacher Chen's Leaf Dragon God.
Teacher Chen laughed and said, "You are good with words, but there is no need to mention being the strongest in taijutsu. Your taijutsu is no weaker than mine."
He did not know how Mugetsu had managed to use such powerful taijutsu to block his Leaf Dragon God head on, but he was certain that his own taijutsu was inferior to Mugetsu's.
If this had been a real battle, Mugetsu could have rushed in and launched an attack the moment Leaf Dragon God was broken, leaving him with almost no way to defend.
"I just took a shortcut. My true taijutsu level is still far from yours, Senior," Mugetsu replied with a gentle smile.
He had simply used overwhelming power to crush skill, using the absolute strength of Breathing Techniques and Eight Gates to suppress Teacher Chen.
"Truly formidable youngsters. It is hard to imagine what level your strength will reach when you are my age," Teacher Chen said with a sigh, ignoring Mugetsu's modesty. In his view, as long as it was a power Mugetsu could use, it counted as Mugetsu's own strength.
"Senior, when you teach Guy until he reaches my age, he should be about the same," Mugetsu said with a smile.
He had only used the Rock Breathing Mark plus the third of the Eight Gates. When Guy reached eighteen, he might even be able to use the seventh of the Eight Gates plus the Rock Breathing Mark, and possibly even master Armament Haki.
"As for Guy, that is indeed possible," Teacher Chen said with a thoughtful expression.
Guy was only nine years old now and already had his current strength. If he trained for another nine or ten years, coupled with his own diligence and taijutsu teachers like Teacher Chen and Mugetsu, his future was truly immeasurable.
"Not fighting anymore?" Obito saw the two start chatting and ran over, asking in confusion. They had not even decided a winner yet.
Slap.
Mugetsu swung his hand like a blade, and a transparent burst of force accurately struck Obito's forehead. He said, "This is called masters exchanging blows and knowing when to stop. It does not necessarily have to end in a winner and loser."
Teacher Chen narrowed his eyes, realizing this was not a simple taijutsu strike, and Mugetsu had not used it during the battle.
"Alright, Teacher Mugetsu, can you do that move that creates a giant dragon?" Obito rubbed the spot where he had just been hit, then looked at Mugetsu with an expectant expression.
"Leaf Dragon God? That was created by Senior Chen. How could I know it?" Mugetsu shook his head.
Originally, he had thought about pretending to learn Leaf Dragon God during the battle, but now he felt that would be too much of a blow to Teacher Chen. On top of that, Guy could learn it directly from Teacher Chen, and Mugetsu himself had no particular need to use Leaf Dragon God, so he simply let the idea go.
"You want to learn it? Then I will give it to your teacher and let him teach you," Teacher Chen said, patting the dust from his clothes.
Although Leaf Dragon God was something he had created with great effort, he had no intention of taking this taijutsu to his grave. Since he found Mugetsu quite likable, giving it to him was fine.
"I was wrong. You are not a decadent uncle, you are the most spirited uncle," Obito chuckled and gave Teacher Chen a thumbs up.
