Might Guy let out a heavy breath and looked towards Ringo Ameyuri in the distance.
With the Fifth Gate open, it was no longer just simple pain; it had begun to cause actual damage to his body!
He had to end this quickly!
Might Guy's eyes widened. He stomped the ground violently, and his entire body instantly transformed into a green afterimage, vanishing from sight.
Ringo Ameyuri, in another direction, also sensed Might Guy's movement. Not only did panic not appear on her face, but it was instead filled with a cold sneer.
"I won't let the injuries on Ranmaru go unpunished!"
A brilliant light flickered in Ringo Ameyuri's eyes, and her entire body began to tremble slightly.
It was excitement!
She gently set Ranmaru to the side, and Ringo Ameyuri prepared to stand up. However, her movement had only gone halfway when Might Guy's afterimage appeared behind her.
He threw a punch, and wherever his fist passed, the air let out a sharp sonic boom.
Might Guy obviously didn't intend to hold back. Given the strength Ranmaru had displayed just now, this red-haired girl before him was likely no weakling.
A powerful punch passed unimpeded through Ringo Ameyuri's back, blasting a massive hole through her chest.
There was no sensation of flesh touching flesh at all!
The Ringo Ameyuri before him was not a physical entity!
Crack! Crack!
Traces of lightning spread along Might Guy's arm toward his entire body.
It was a Lightning Clone!
The Ringo Ameyuri that had been blasted through transformed into countless bolts of lightning that struck Might Guy's body.
Might Guy waved his hand forcefully, his violent chakra scattering in all directions, blasting away all the lightning produced by the Lightning Clone.
"Worthy indeed of being able to suppress Ranmaru; your speed is actually a bit faster than his."
A cold voice came from another direction.
Might Guy turned his head to look toward the source of the voice.
He saw Ringo Ameyuri jump down from a large tree in the distance. Holding a Lightning Blade in each hand, she was looking at him with killing intent.
After seeing Ringo Ameyuri clearly, Might Guy didn't waste a single word. His body moved, and he once again turned into a green afterimage and vanished!
Ringo Ameyuri narrowed her eyes and quickly mobilized the natural energy she had stored for a long time.
Sage Mode!
Special black markings began to emerge on Ringo Ameyuri's face. At the same time, her entire aura shifted abruptly.
Konoha Whirlwind!
Might Guy instantly appeared in front of Ringo Ameyuri. He raised his leg in a whip kick, forcefully striking toward her head.
So fast!
Feeling the piercing sound of the wind beside her ear, a rare look of solemnity appeared on Ringo Ameyuri's face.
Only by facing it personally could one feel the pressure and sense of power bearing down from Might Guy at this moment.
Lightning Blade Arts — Instant Lightning!
Ringo Ameyuri held her Lightning Blade horizontally in front of her. Streams of lightning power erupted from the blade and quickly surged into her body.
In an instant!
Ringo Ameyuri's entire body was enveloped in a glow of lightning.
A muffled sound exploded in the air.
The powerful force made Ringo Ameyuri retreat dozens of meters before she could stop her body.
On the ground, because of Ringo Ameyuri's retreat, two deep footprints had been left behind!
Might Guy glanced at Ringo Ameyuri, whom he had kicked back dozens of meters, and a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Ringo Ameyuri was clearly not a taijutsu-type ninja. With the power of that strike just now, it had merely made the opponent retreat a few dozen meters.
"So you are Konoha's 'Blue Beast'!"
Feeling the pain in her arms, killing intent flickered in Ringo Ameyuri's eyes. She lowered her body slightly, raised the Lightning Blades in her hands, and struck them together forcefully!
Senjutsu — Lightning Fang!
Crack!
Pale blue lightning erupted from the colliding Lightning Blades, turning into thick currents that shrouded toward Might Guy's direction.
Might Guy's figure moved, and his body instantly vanished from his original spot. While dodging the lightning attacks, he once again closed in on Ringo Ameyuri.
Seeing this, Ringo Ameyuri's entire body began to flash with lightning continuously, using the power of lightning to stimulate the cells throughout her body.
"I see you!"
With the powerful perception of Sage Mode, Ringo Ameyuri suddenly turned her head to look at a spot to her side. Her body turned into a bolt of lightning, vanishing from her original location in a split second.
Boom! Boom!
One white, one green—the two afterimages shuttled and collided continuously in the surroundings, letting out muffled sounds of heavy impacts.
However, this stalemate did not last long. After another violent collision, the white figure quickly retreated.
Traces of blood continuously overflowed from the corners of Ringo Ameyuri's mouth.
Ringo Ameyuri reached out to cover her chest, and a look of pain flashed through her eyes.
Damn it, why now?!
With Ringo Ameyuri's body already ill, it naturally couldn't withstand such intense collisions.
The position of her chest was constantly sending out waves of piercing, heart-wrenching pain at this moment, causing a layer of dense sweat to rise on Ringo Ameyuri's forehead.
Ringo Ameyuri raised her head and looked at Might Guy, who was charging toward her again. A ruthless look flashed through her eyes!
The moment Ringo Ameyuri's body paused, Might Guy had already raised his fist and landed a heavy blow on her body.
Bracing herself to endure this blow, Ringo Ameyuri directly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Strongly enduring the severe pain from her body, Ringo Ameyuri raised her arm and violently threw one of the Lightning Blades in her hand into the sky.
Lightning Blade Arts — Falling Lightning!
Crack!
A thick bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky and struck the Lightning Blade that Ringo Ameyuri had thrown into mid-air.
The thick lightning was quickly absorbed by the Lightning Blade. The next instant, a terrifying current erupted from the blade.
Seeing this scene, Might Guy frowned slightly. However, he was confident that with his current speed, he could completely dodge the lightning attack.
He quickly looked at Ringo Ameyuri before him, who was vomiting blood, and Might Guy raised his arm again.
Obviously, Might Guy intended to finish her with a single blow, not giving Ringo Ameyuri the slightest chance.
Senjutsu: Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!
Ringo Ameyuri let out a low shout and quickly mobilized the Senjutsu chakra within her body.
The lightning that had been flashing around Ringo Ameyuri's body, under the effect of the Senjutsu chakra, quickly formed a complete armor made entirely of lightning.
At this moment, Might Guy's attack also crashed down upon Ringo Ameyuri.
Terrifying power erupted instantly. The fierce impact caused even the armor formed of lightning to distort.
Especially the shockwave from the collision caused Ringo Ameyuri's brain to go blank for an instant.
To prevent herself from losing consciousness, Ringo Ameyuri bit the tip of her tongue forcefully to keep herself awake.
This was the moment!
The reason Ringo Ameyuri didn't dodge and instead forcefully endured Might Guy's blow was to wait for the exact moment Might Guy finished his attack.
Might Guy's taijutsu was simply too strong; this was the conclusion Ringo Ameyuri had drawn from the brief exchange.
And the only thing that could truly harm Might Guy was ninjutsu. But the opponent's speed was too fast, so Ringo Ameyuri had to create an opportunity for herself!
Senjutsu: Lightning Release: Natural Lightning!
Rumble!
The Lightning Blade in mid-air, radiating terrifying currents, finally erupted under the guidance of the Senjutsu chakra!
Countless currents poured out from the Lightning Blade. However, these currents did not fall toward Might Guy and Ringo Ameyuri below, but rather shot out in all directions.
Almost instantly, both Might Guy and Ringo Ameyuri were enveloped by the electric net formed by these lightning bolts, trapping the two of them completely inside.
At this moment, Might Guy hadn't even retracted his fist yet.
Might Guy saw his surroundings completely enveloped by lightning, and his expression changed.
"You actually trapped yourself in here too!"
Might Guy turned his head, a complex look on his face as he looked at Ringo Ameyuri before him, blood continuously overflowing from her mouth.
