They couldn't know. They couldn't possibly understand.
How heavy was that kick!
It was the culmination of Might Guy's decades of relentless training—day and night, through wind and rain.
The boy who had always been at the bottom of the class had become a Jonin using nothing but pure physical skill.
And now, the fruit of that effort—the deadly power of the Eight Gates—was unleashed.
Countless lives had been impacted by this very kick.
Tears of excitement, cries of youth—it all boiled into one unstoppable force.
Night Guy. One move? No. When all eight gates are open and his chakra roars unchecked…
Taijutsu itself becomes invincible.
Who could withstand this strike now?
Even Six Paths Madara… before the kick landed, he had already suffered from the distortion of space.
The impact hit Madara hard. The Six Paths Staff couldn't fully block Guy's frontal strike.
The kick smashed into Madara's chest. Blood gushed from his mouth. His ribs shattered.
And yet…
Guy's right foot was obliterated in comparison.
A mortal body against one hardened by the strength of the Six Paths Sage.
The dragon-shaped chakra pressed Madara to the ground, scraping him hundreds of meters across the battlefield.
If not for the massive Divine Tree behind them, the kick would have sent both combatants flying even further.
A massive explosion swept the battlefield. Kakashi and the others could barely watch.
There were no flashy jutsu. No illusions. Only two fighters relying on pure strength and skill.
The two slammed into the sacred tree with unrelenting force. Smoke billowed like a stone sinking into water.
Minato and the others squinted through the haze. That kick… should have killed him.
Madara was slumped on the ground, barely propped up by his right hand. But he was still alive.
Even with the left side of his body nearly obliterated, he hadn't died.
Gasping for breath, he laughed.
"Hehehe! Almost killed by you, huh…"
The left side of his face was burned from the force of Guy's strike, yet he still smiled.
Meanwhile, Guy lay on the ground, exhausted. Vitality drained.
In Madara's eyes, Might Guy's remaining chakra flickered like a dying candle.
"Even a dying flame pleases me," Madara said, staring at Guy.
And then… his injuries healed almost instantly. His torn clothes repaired themselves.
"This is my gift!"
"Before you turn to ash… I'm here to kill you!"
In moments, Madara's heart and left arm regenerated.
A Truth-Seeking Orb shot toward Guy, who was barely clinging to life.
Then…
[Ding! Start posting questions!]

[Might Guy: Damn… he's still alive! Next time, I'll kick him in the head!]
[Hatake Kakashi: Indeed… what a pity!]
Throughout the battle, no ninjutsu was used. Only flesh clashing against chakra, only sheer physical combat.
The system slowed the action dozens of times, allowing viewers to witness every strike.
At his blazing red speed, only Guy could be seen moving continuously.
Emperor Gai? Battle of the Gods?
One kick—enough to earn him that title.
[Madara: Hmph… Emperor Gai? I recognize you. But next time, I won't be so easy to fight. Prepare yourself. Open the Eight Gates when we meet!]
[Might Guy: I know I may not defeat you, even with all eight gates. But this… is my youth. I am fearless. Nothing can stop me!]
[Matt Dai: Guy! Father is proud! You've achieved youth and self-discipline!]
[Rock Lee: Gai sensei… please don't die! You can't…]
Guy felt helpless. Death loomed.
If anyone else were here… who could stop Madara?
Hashirama Senju?
Wait… Madara?
[Might Guy: Holy shit! Wasn't Madara dead? How is he alive!?]
[Hatake Kakashi: Damn… the video misled us! How did he survive!?]
[Namikaze Minato: Impure World Reincarnation? Doesn't seem like it.]
[Senju Tobirama: Madara won't give up. Some conspiracy is afoot. But under the God-level Heaven System… it will be revealed!]
Madara's presence sent shockwaves through all.
The other Kages and Akatsuki members widened their eyes in disbelief. Even calm Itachi sweated.
What is Konoha playing at?
Forget the Eight Gates. Even the Seven Gates could chase someone across the Ninja World.
Could this be a ploy to steal forbidden techniques?
Konoha alone holds the power of the Otsutsuki and the Six Paths Sage.
Where are the Byakugan? Konoha!
Where is the Sharingan? Konoha!
Where is the Ōtsutsuki Senju chakra? Konoha!
Where is the Ōtsutsuki Uzumaki chakra? Konoha!
The Otsutsuki bloodlines—disassembled. Two Kekkei Genkai. Two main lineages. All concentrated in Konoha.
Even the remains of the Corpse Bone Vein lineage? Extinct.
So… what now?
