Just then, a loud boom came from the direction Ranmaru had been kicked.
A violent chakra and aura appeared in everyone's perception.
A body nearly two meters tall, resembling a muscular devil, slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
This was that brat from just now!
Might Guy's eyes revealed a look of surprise as he looked at Ranmaru, whose body had turned into a muscular man, but whose head hadn't changed much.
"Ranmaru is angry!"
A look of displeasure appeared on Ranmaru's face as he looked at Might Guy.
Ranmaru stomped heavily on the ground, letting out a dull thud. His exaggerated body appeared in front of Might Guy in an instant with unimaginable speed.
He raised his exceptionally thick arm, and a fist like a sandbag smashed down towards Might Guy.
Might Guy did not dodge; instead, he quickly crossed his arms in front of him, forcefully enduring Ranmaru's blow.
Violent power poured down, and Might Guy was instantly blasted away by this force.
After crashing through several large trees, Might Guy's figure finally came to a stop.
Feeling a numbness in both arms, a look of shock appeared on Might Guy's face.
If he hadn't used a special technique mid-flight to deflect a large portion of the force, one of his arms would likely have been useless.
His raw power and speed were already far superior to his own!
What kind of chakra is this!
To allow such terrifying power to erupt from within a child's body!
While he was in a daze, Ranmaru's body flashed and appeared in front of Might Guy again. At this moment, Ranmaru was holding the Explosive Blade.
"Ranmaru won't let you take Neji away!"
Ranmaru raised the Explosive Blade in his hand towards Might Guy and slashed down with force.
Might Guy bent his legs and instantly jumped from the ground, reaching a position about three meters in the air.
Konoha Strong Whirlwind!
Might Guy, who was in mid-air, narrowed his eyes and twisted his waist violently. A strong whirlwind kicked towards Ranmaru's head.
Compared to his body full of muscles, Ranmaru's head was much easier to attack no matter how you looked at it.
"Explode!"
Just as Might Guy was about to kick Ranmaru's head, Ranmaru spoke calmly.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded instantly, and a wave of heat erupted towards the surroundings.
Under this force, Might Guy's action, originally aimed at kicking Ranmaru's head, couldn't help but pause, and he was directly blown away by the power.
Ranmaru, completely ignoring the explosive force, rushed directly into the flames of the explosion, charging towards the blown-away Might Guy.
"Teacher Guy's strength is very strong, and there are people chasing from behind. We better retreat first."
Neji looked at the battle ahead and spoke softly to Ringo Ameyuri beside him.
Although Might Guy seemed to be temporarily suppressed by Ranmaru on the surface, Neji knew better than the other two present the power Might Guy possessed.
Moreover, deep down, Neji didn't want to be an enemy of Might Guy either.
"Since you have inherited the Longsword: Needle, you are the new 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist'. You had better live up to this title!"
Ringo Ameyuri turned her head, looking at Neji with a indifferent expression.
Neji felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but take a step back.
Another violent explosion came from ahead.
A solemn look appeared on Might Guy's face as he looked at the ground ahead, which had been blasted into a large crater by the Explosive Blade.
Through the brief exchange, Might Guy had figured out Ranmaru's attack methods.
This is an extremely tricky ninja!
Especially the Explosive Blade in the other party's hand; once hit by an attack, it would be very troublesome.
But Ranmaru was not without weaknesses, and that was his various taijutsu techniques.
However, under the effect of his immense power, speed, and the Explosive Blade's explosive ability, this weakness had been minimized to the extreme.
He had to subdue the opponent in one hit! Otherwise, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him!
After analyzing the information in front of him, Might Guy took a light breath.
Eight Gates Released Formation, Gate of Opening! Gate of Healing! Gate of Life!
Might Guy opened three gates in one breath. A surge of majestic chakra erupted from his body, forming an airwave that spread towards the surroundings.
Seeing this scene, a look of excitement appeared on Ringo Ameyuri's face; only now did Might Guy have the value for her to make a move.
Ranmaru paid no attention to it at all, raising the Explosive Blade in his hand and slashing towards the front.
Might Guy's figure flashed, directly entering a state of high-speed movement, turning into a blue afterimage, and quickly approaching Ranmaru.
Ranmaru's expression remained unchanged. He turned his wrist slightly, changing the Explosive Blade from a slash to a strike in mid-air. At the same time, an explosion occurred directly in the air, forming a terrifying heatwave.
Ranmaru grabbed the Explosive Blade with both hands and swung it violently, actually turning this heatwave into something like an air cannon, and slapped it towards Might Guy.
Might Guy's speed, which was already extremely fast, actually increased a notch again, disappearing directly from the spot to dodge this air cannon.
Extreme Leaf Strong Whirlwind!
Blue chakra coated Might Guy's feet as he kicked violently towards Ranmaru's body.
This kick landed directly on Ranmaru's body, letting out a heavy dull thud.
Ranmaru's body shook, and he couldn't help but take several steps back. However, Ranmaru still abruptly reached out his arm, grabbing one of Might Guy's legs, while raising the Explosive Blade with his other hand to slash at Might Guy.
Seeing Ranmaru's movement, a look of joy flashed in Might Guy's eyes.
Leaf Rising Rock!
Might Guy did not stop his movements. He twisted his body violently in the air, using his elbow to strike forcefully against the arm Ranmaru was holding the Explosive Blade with.
Ranmaru only felt his arm go numb, and immediately after, the Explosive Blade in his hand fell directly to the ground.
Success!
The joy in Might Guy's eyes grew even stronger. The power of the explosion was too great of a threat to Might Guy, and he didn't dare to get close easily.
And now, without the Explosive Blade, in Might Guy's eyes, Ranmaru was just a ninja with empty power and speed.
"Not good, Ranmaru is in danger!"
Neji, standing outside the battlefield, suddenly changed his expression and couldn't help but speak nervously.
"Don't underestimate Ranmaru. His strength among the Seven Swordsmen can easily rank in the top three."
Ringo Ameyuri looked at the battle ahead with flickering eyes and spoke calmly.
At this moment, in the battlefield.
Taking advantage of the moment Ranmaru was stunned after dropping the Explosive Blade, Might Guy twisted his waist in the air, propped his hands on the ground, and suddenly exerted force with both feet.
Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!
Super high-speed continuous kicks easily kicked Ranmaru into the mid-air. Might Guy's hands acted like springs as he pushed off forcefully, his whole body following close behind.
He continuously kicked Ranmaru higher into the air!
Compared to Rock Lee's kicking skills, Might Guy's kicking skills were obviously more terrifying and powerful!
The powerful force made Ranmaru's head a bit dazed, and his body couldn't react at all for a moment.
In mid-air, Might Guy used Ranmaru's body as a support point and flashed to appear behind Ranmaru.
Might Guy hugged Ranmaru forcefully and then spun at high speed, crashing down towards the ground below!
Front Lotus!
At the instant of landing, Might Guy used both hands to violently throw Ranmaru towards the ground.
Boom!
The entire ground shook, and a huge crater appeared before everyone.
"Hidden Lotus!"
Might Guy's movements did not stop, continuously bombarding Ranmaru in the crater at high speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud booming noises echoed all around, and the entire ground shook continuously.
