"What a powerful force."
After exchanging a punch, Kakashi's expression changed. The power emanating from Might Guy exceeded his expectations, and he was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
"Youth! Whirlwind Kick"
Might Guy spun around and kicked Kakashi in the side.
"You can't fight hard."
Although Kakashi was a Jonin in this case, he didn't have the Sharingan, so his ninjutsu wasn't as extensive as the Copy Ninja's.
"Substitution Technique? When did that happen?"
Might Guy looked at the piece of wood in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't noticed Kakashi's hand seals.
"over there!"
Kakashi, standing 10 meters away, remained calm as he began forming hand seals.
"The real show is just beginning, Shadow Clone Technique."
With a bang, two more Kakashis appeared beside Kakashi.
"It's the Shadow Clone Technique! He actually learned this ninjutsu."
The teachers watching from the sidelines were astonished. Even they didn't know how to use this level of ninjutsu. Just based on this one move, Kakashi's strength was already greater than theirs.
"He's only just entered the ninja academy!"
One teacher remarked with a sigh, "I feel like I've been living the life of a dog all these years."
"Wow! Kakashi is amazing. No wonder he's the son of the White Fang of Konoha."
"A genius! Even the prestigious Uchiha and Hyuga clans don't have a genius like this, do they?"
Kakashi's classmates' gazes towards him had completely changed, now filled with awe and admiration.
Might Guy, Kakashi's current opponent, also showed an expression of admiration. However, despite his admiration, the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even stronger.
"In that case, I'm going to unleash my true power."
Might Guy said this while striking a pose that had never been seen before in the ninja world.
"This is……?"
Kakashi looked at Might Guy in surprise, because he felt that Might Guy was like a tiger, ready to pounce at any moment.
"Tigers come down the mountain!"
With a loud shout, everyone seemed to see an illusory tiger on Might Guy's body, pouncing as if to attack.
Tiger Fist, a set of fist techniques taught to Might Guy by Yi Shuihan, was being used by Might Guy with impressive skill and power comparable to a B-rank martial art.
This taijutsu is more than enough even for a Jonin, but now that Might Guy has used it, even Kakashi doesn't dare to take it head-on.
Kakashi was already weaker than Might Guy, and with this powerful punch that could unleash several times his own strength, he could only dodge.
"Wow, that's amazing! Even Kakashi was forced to retreat."
"Is Might Guy really that strong?"
"Hmph, what's the use of strong taijutsu? A ninja still needs to use ninjutsu. Kakashi, quickly use ninjutsu to take him down."
"Yes, ninjutsu is the way to go."
Most of the kids still support Kakashi; there's nothing they can do about it, since Might Guy is clearly not as handsome as Kakashi!
Moreover, in the ninja world, taijutsu is indeed not as popular as ninjutsu. Taijutsu requires arduous training to achieve mastery, while ninjutsu is different. As long as one has talent, one can quickly master it. Ninjutsu is generally more powerful and cooler than taijutsu, so it is only natural that it is more popular.
Chapter 309, Kakashi also wants to learn martial arts.
As can be seen from the title of ninja, ninjutsu was something specifically prepared for ninjas, and naturally it was given more importance.
Most people, if they have some skill in ninjutsu, will focus their energy on ninjutsu rather than choosing to specialize in taijutsu.
Even illusion techniques are more popular than physical techniques.
In the Naruto world, apart from the Eight Gates, which is a specialized taijutsu, the other taijutsu are really not that great. The real strong ones rely on a unique ninjutsu or blood techniques to fight.
The world of One Piece is a world where you can become stronger through hard work, while the world of Naruto relies more on bloodline.
The Eight Gates Formation is powerful, right? It even easily defeated Madara, but it was just a flash in the pan, and only an individual.
Bloodline limits are the mainstream in this world; the Sharingan, Wood Release, and Yin-Yang Release are the most powerful forces in this world.
The entire plot is just a story of brothers loving and killing each other, then being reincarnated and loving and killing each other again. Everyone else is just a minor character.
Back to the battlefield between Kakashi and Might Guy.
Kakashi, who was no match for Might Guy in taijutsu, began to create distance and use ninjutsu for ranged attacks.
Kakashi used several A-rank ninjutsu in succession, including Water Release and Lightning Release, turning the battlefield into a pockmarked mess.
Might Guy's taijutsu allowed him to easily dodge Kakashi's ninjutsu, so Kakashi couldn't defeat Might Guy for a while.
"Is that the only trick you can use?"
Having used so many ninjutsu, Kakashi was also quite exhausted, panting slightly. He had never expected Might Guy to be so difficult to deal with.
Of course, Might Guy was also under a lot of pressure. He had just become a Ming Jin and hadn't had time to consolidate his strength before fighting Kakashi. At this time, he was only at the end of his rope and was holding on with amazing willpower.
The surrounding audience was completely silent, stunned by this battle that clearly exceeded the capabilities of the ninja academy.
Are they really the same age as us?
The students couldn't help but think this way, their eyes filled with bitterness as they looked at Kakashi and Might Guy, and many of them were discouraged by the blow.
There are exceptions, such as Sarutobi Asuma, the boy from the Hyuga clan, and a few from the Uchiha clan.
Sarutobi Asuma thought that having a Hokage father and being a Chunin himself meant that although he was not as strong as Kakashi, he was not insurmountable. He was spurred on by witnessing Kakashi's strength today and decided to train hard to catch up.
As for the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, they have complete confidence in their bloodline, believing that as long as they develop their bloodline well, they will definitely be able to defeat Kakashi and Might Guy in the future.
Especially for someone like Might Guy who only knows taijutsu, the Byakugan is the nemesis of taijutsu. As for the Sharingan, well, the Uchiha clan believes that no one except Wood Release can match the Sharingan. It can directly copy the opponent's taijutsu and see through all ninjutsu, which is incredibly easy.
These Uchiha clan members didn't consider what would happen if, even if they could see through it, their bodies couldn't keep up.
Suddenly, a piercing sound, like the chirping of countless birds, rang out, making people instinctively cover their ears.
Chidori! Originally a technique that Kakashi developed later, it can now be used.
A ball of lightning gradually appeared in Kakashi's hand, the violent lightning dancing in his hand as if it might explode at any moment.
"He actually has lightning under his control?" Might Guy felt a life-or-death crisis approaching, and his instincts told him that if he were struck by lightning from Kakashi's hand, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
"stop!"
"That's it!"
The teachers finally realized that something unpredictable would happen if things continued like this, and they rushed to stop him. Even they could sense the danger of death emanating from Kakashi, and they looked at him in horror as he was sweating profusely and controlling his ninjutsu.
Kakashi isn't having an easy time either!
"So? Do you want to continue? If you do, I can't guarantee you'll survive."
Kakashi's calm voice rang out as he stared intently at Might Guy.
"I surrender."
Might Guy's expression changed several times before he finally withdrew his stance and admitted defeat. Things had come to this point, and he had no choice but to continue. Although he regretted not being able to defeat Kakashi, he knew that with Kakashi's move, he had no hope of winning.
"call!"
Kakashi exhaled, then rushed towards a nearby tree and unleashed the Chidori he was holding; he couldn't yet disperse the Chidori.
A tremendous roar resounded, and a man who was 2 meters tall was completely blown to pieces.
Hissing sounds filled the air as everyone stared in disbelief at the destruction caused by Chidori.
Seeing this, Matt Kai felt a chill run down his spine. He was certain that if the blow had landed on him, he would die without a doubt, unless he forced the door open, which would inevitably leave him with irreparable internal injuries.
"Let's go! Let's talk!"
Kakashi walked up to Might Guy and said.
Might Guy nodded and followed Kakashi outside, while everyone around them made way for him.
"Report this to the Hokage immediately. Konoha has produced an amazing genius."
It took the teachers a long time to react and report the battle to the Third Generation.
"You're really that good? You're just a Chunin, yet you forced me to use my ultimate technique." Kakashi looked at Might Guy and said seriously.
"You are stronger, I am no match for you, but I will definitely surpass you." At this moment, Might Guy had already recognized Kakashi as his lifelong rival.
Seeing the burning desire in Might Guy's eyes, Kakashi suddenly had a very bad feeling, as if he was being watched by something.
It must be an illusion!
"Could you tell me about this 'national martial art' all about?" Kakashi knew it wasn't a good question, but he was genuinely curious about it—how could it have even allowed Might Guy, a Chunin, to surpass his level?
"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
Faced with Kakashi's question, Might Guy hesitated for a moment, and Kakashi, seeing this, said with some disappointment.
"There's nothing that can't be said. The so-called national martial arts are..."
Might Guy eventually repeated what Yi Shuihan had told him, covering almost everything except the method of cultivation, which allowed Kakashi to fully understand the power of martial arts.
"If you want to learn, you can ask Brother Yi. If he's willing to teach you, we can cultivate together."
Might Guy suggested it, and Kakashi was intrigued by the idea.
"So you want to learn Chinese martial arts?" Yi Shuihan looked at Kakashi, who had a look of anticipation and longing on his face, and was slightly surprised.
Chapter 310, Intending to Be a Pioneer
"Since you want to learn, that's fine, but I hope you promise me you won't give up halfway."
Yi Shuihan naturally agreed that Kakashi wanted to learn martial arts, after all, he had the mission of promoting and developing martial arts.
"Really? That's great."
Kakashi was completely taken aback by Yi Shuihan's quick agreement and was overjoyed, shouting excitedly.
It's no wonder Kakashi was excited. After all, martial arts are clearly a profound form of physical skill, and generally, such skills are closely guarded secrets that no one would easily teach to another.
"I will definitely practice martial arts diligently," Kakashi promised, and that's what he truly believed.
Just like Might Guy before him, Yi Shuihan taught Kakashi the method of cultivating martial arts from Ming Jin to An Jin, and also told him how to break through to An Jin, telling him to come back to him for the next cultivation method after he reached An Jin.
After Kakashi left, Yi Shuihan seemed lost in thought.
"Perhaps I should try practicing martial arts myself, otherwise how can I teach others if I don't even know it?" Once this thought arose, it wouldn't go away.
Because Yi Shuihan had already reached an extremely high level, practicing martial arts would not significantly increase his strength unless he reached the ultimate realm. Therefore, he had never had the intention to practice martial arts. However, this time he seemed to have a reason why he had to practice it.
The role played by a pioneer in Chinese martial arts is still very significant. After all, the Chinese martial arts system he obtained no specific training methods after reaching the Transformation Realm, and he could only rely on his own enlightenment. In this case, it would be too difficult to break through to the Embracing the Elixir Realm or even the Breaking the Void Realm.
If Yi Shuihan had first cultivated to the point of embracing the elixir, and then passed on his insights, others could have followed suit. While they might not have broken through immediately, it would have been of great help.
The saying "true teachings can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings fill countless volumes" perfectly illustrates this point.
"boss?"
"Is there a problem?"
"I wonder if I am capable of practicing this traditional Chinese martial art."
Might Guy learned about Kakashi from his son, and since he was already interested in martial arts, he sought out Yi Shuihan, hoping to learn martial arts himself.
“If you want to learn, go find your son yourself. In fact, I don’t mind this knowledge getting out; on the contrary, the more people learn it, the better.”
"The more people learn, the better?" Might Guy found Yi Shuihan's words very strange. In the ninja world, who wouldn't carefully preserve a precious technique, afraid that others would find out? Who would be like Yi Shuihan who actually wanted others to learn it?
Especially for certain techniques, the fewer people who know about them, the greater the advantage in battle. After all, if people don't know the details of a technique, they also don't know how to counter it, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the battle.
After news of Kakashi's training in martial arts spread, it seemed to trigger a series of reactions, with people frequently coming to his door asking for the training methods.
Finally, Yi Shuihan lost his patience and simply wrote down the cultivation method of Chinese martial arts from the beginning to the level of mastery, then threw it to the third generation and told them to figure it out themselves.
This action made the three generations extremely grateful, and they completely regarded Yi Shuihan as one of their own.
Even Tsunade has been much nicer to Yi Shuihan these past few days, indulging him in every way, just because Yi Shuihan said, "Since it was Grandpa Tsunade who founded the village, it's only right that I make some contributions."
The Third Hokage was quite bold, directly passing on the Ming Jin training method to the Ninja Academy as a required course for students, which suited Yi Shuihan's wishes perfectly.
While martial arts were spreading rapidly in Konoha, Yi Shuihan's progress in martial arts was soaring to the peak of Dark Force, almost reaching Transformation Force.
