Chapter 37 The First Bloom of the Leaf Lotus~
"Fly...fly?"

"This guy can actually fly?"

"The Sand Village actually has this kind of ninjutsu?"

In the spectator stands of Konoha, many ninjas' expressions changed slightly.

In the ninja world, the ability to fly is definitely a rare and troublesome ability.

"Oh! Looks like a formidable opponent! Let's have a thrilling match!"

Seeing this, Might Guy on the ring showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up again, shouting loudly.

Upon hearing this, Iron Smash simply shook his head slightly, seemingly unmoved by Matt Day's enthusiasm.

The black iron sand wings behind him slowly unfurled, turning into quicksand that covered his entire body, forming a thin layer of black armor.

"Game start!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, the chief examiner on the high platform immediately announced loudly.

The moment the words left his mouth, Matt Day's figure vanished from the spot!
"So fast!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "In terms of speed alone, it has far surpassed mine."

The next moment, Mighty appeared in front of Iron Smash, and with a whooshing sound, he swept a powerful whip kick toward Iron Smash's head!

However, just as Matt's foot was about to touch the layer of iron sand on the surface of the iron slug—

"Pfft!"

A sudden change occurred!

The originally smooth surface of the iron sand suddenly erupted with countless sharp black spikes!
Matt Day's foot was pierced directly by these sudden iron spikes!

Blood instantly stained his green tights.

"Ugh!"

Matt Day let out a muffled groan, and his attack came to an abrupt halt.

Tie Xian's eyes were cold, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.

With a casual wave of his hand, the iron sand wrapped around his arm quickly condensed into a huge iron fist, carrying a heavy force, and slammed into Matt Day's chest!

"boom!"

Might Day flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the edge of the ring and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"..."

"Hahaha! I thought it was something more impressive!"

"That guy from Sunagakure can clearly control iron sand like a hedgehog, and that guy in the green bodysuit just charged straight at him and gave himself away?"

"What an idiot!"

"Is Konoha out of options this time? Sending up this kind of trash?"

Seeing this, everyone present was stunned at first, and then many ninjas from other villages burst into laughter.

The jeers rose and fell, filled with undisguised contempt.

On the field, Iron Sand slowly withdrew his fist, and iron sand covered his entire body again. He glanced at Might Guy lying on the ground, shook his head, and then turned to the chief Jonin, indicating that the referee could announce the winner.

In his view, the battle was over.

However, just as the chief examiner was about to speak—

"Cough...cough..."

"It's not... over yet!"

Matt Day struggled, using his elbows to push himself up from the ground, little by little.

His right foot was covered in blood, and his face was pale, but the fighting spirit in his eyes had not been extinguished.

He once again assumed a fighting stance and, step by step, staggered towards the iron hail!
Upon seeing this, Tie Xian frowned slightly and shook his head again.

With his foot pierced through, his speed and power must be greatly reduced. Does he still want to continue in this state?
I simply don’t know what to say.

With a casual wave of his hand, the iron sand in front of him transformed into a giant hand once again, slapping horizontally towards the charging Might Guy!

"boom!"

With another muffled thud, Matt Day was easily sent flying again, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

“Um… Might Guy…”

The chief examiner, Jonin, felt a pang of pity and was about to announce the end of the competition.

"I...I haven't lost yet!"

Although Matt Day's voice was weak, it was unusually firm.

He struggled again, swaying as he stood up, blood dripping from his trousers onto the ring.

"Oh? Do you have some other trump card up your sleeve?"

Tie Xian looked at his opponent, who was covered in wounds but still refused to fall, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a bit of curiosity.

Anyone with eyes can see the difference in strength between them; it's a complete crushing defeat.

This Konoha kid on the other side is willing to endure such pain rather than give up. Could he really have some unknown trump card up his sleeve?

“I’m not like you so-called geniuses! I’m not good at ninjutsu. I have absolutely no talent for genjutsu.”

"My only reliance is physical skill!"

Matt Day, panting heavily, grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth stained red with blood.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xian's curiosity turned into confusion.

"Can't use ninjutsu? What's the point of being a ninja then?"

"What's going on? You want to be a ninja if you can't even use ninjutsu?"

"Is Konoha really out of talent? How can someone like this even participate in the Chunin Exams?"

The other village ninjas watching from all sides burst into laughter once again.

If a ninja doesn't know ninjutsu, isn't that just like a chef not knowing how to cook?

Despite the harsh laughter around him, Matt Day's expression remained unchanged.

He's heard that kind of thing far too many times.

That's why he signed up for the Chunin Exams without hesitation! He wanted to prove himself to everyone!

Even if you only know physical skills, even if everyone laughs at you, you can become very strong through your own efforts!

Now is the time for him to prove it!

"Drink ah ah ah!"

Might Guy let out a deafening roar, and the chakra within his body began to circulate in a peculiar way!

His muscles swelled at a visible speed, his skin turned red from the blood rushing to his head, and a powerful aura erupted from him!

[Open the Eight Gates! Open!]

[Open the door!]

Both doors open at the same time!

Might Guy's aura suddenly changed. The somewhat listless aura caused by his injuries was swept away and replaced by a violent sense of power!
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot again!
This time, the speed is several times faster than before!
"what?!"

Jiraiya jumped to his feet, his face filled with shock.

How did he manage that? This guy is even faster after he was injured than before!

Tsunade's eyes widened as well. As a ninja specializing in medical ninjutsu, she naturally saw more than Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, this...this must be some kind of forbidden technique that forcibly squeezes out the body's potential, right?"

She turned to look at Orochimaru, who remained calm beside her, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, a martial arts technique that allows you to fully utilize your muscle strength by actively breaking free from the limitations imposed on your body by your mind."

Orochimaru nodded in reply.

"Remove the restrictions? Unleash 100% of your muscle strength? Is that even possible?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise.

"Theoretically, it is feasible. In some extreme cases, the body will secrete adrenaline out of the survival instinct, allowing humans to exert greater strength than usual."

This ninja named Might Guy probably accomplished this through some kind of forbidden technique, but how did he do it?

Tsunade replied that such a forbidden technique was theoretically feasible, but it was only theoretical.

Moreover, this mechanism alone cannot exert this level of power...

"Mastering this technology can be difficult, but it can also be easy."

As long as you undergo rigorous training that far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine, you can push your body to its limits time and time again.

In other words, this is a skill that can only be learned by those who dedicate everything to physical combat.

As Orochimaru spoke, he turned his gaze to Might Guy, who was still fighting in the arena.

Based on the original text and his understanding of the human body from Konoha Hospital data over the years, the principles of the Eight Gates are not difficult to guess.

Matt's skin did not turn red, meaning the third door had not been opened...

In other words, this battle has come to an end...

Upon hearing Orochimaru's explanation, Jiraiya looked at the figure in the arena who was repeatedly repelled by the iron sand, yet stubbornly rose again and again. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he was somewhat moved.

This guy who only knows hand-to-hand combat... he's really pushing himself too hard!

On the arena, the battle was drawing to a close...

Might Guy, having activated the Eight Gates, experienced an astonishing increase in both speed and strength, and for a time managed to hold his own against Iron Shot.

However, he still couldn't break through the opponent's defense made of iron sand. Instead, each collision only added new wounds to Might Guy's fists and feet.

But Matt Dae seemed oblivious to pain and fatigue, charging at the iron hail again and again!

That indomitable spirit and unwavering perseverance silenced the entire examination hall.

On the stands, the expressions on the faces of the ninjas who had been sneering earlier subtly changed.

Some looked surprised, some were incredulous, and some even had a hint of...admiration in their eyes.

Iron Smash, as the opponent, gradually changed his mood from initial mockery and disdain to seriousness, and even a hint of... annoyance.

Is this thing an unkillable cockroach?!
"Isn't this over yet?!"

Tie Xian finally couldn't hold back and roared out loud. He didn't want to get entangled with this madman anymore!
He clasped his hands together abruptly, and the iron sand around him surged wildly, condensing into several thick black spears, which he aimed at Matt Day, who was charging at him again!

"Iron Sand Spear!"

This is his trump card!
Just as those gleaming iron-tipped spears were about to pierce through Mighty—

"enough."

A steady voice rang out.

The next moment, a figure appeared instantly in front of Might Guy.

The newcomer was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
With a casual palm strike, the menacing iron sand spears collapsed instantly, as if hitting an invisible barrier, and turned back into scattered iron sand.

Immediately, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, grabbed Might Dai's arm, stopping his charge.

"Examiner, please announce the results."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly.

The examiner on the high platform was startled, only to suddenly realize that Might Guy's eyes had lost focus and he had obviously lost consciousness.

In other words, he was fighting entirely on his body's instincts and with his indomitable will!

The ninjas watching from the stands also noticed this.

For a moment, the entire examination room was silent, and everyone's face was filled with shock.

"No, is it really that serious..."

Jiraiya watched as the medical team quickly carried Might Guy away, covered in blood and unconscious, and murmured with a rather complicated expression.

"Perhaps... for someone who only knows physical skills and wants to prove themselves through physical skills, as for..."

Orochimaru shook his head; such spirit was admirable.

Just then, the list of opponents for the next round slowly appeared on the huge screen in the center of the arena.

Konoha Hidden Village, Orochimaru.

Battle.

Kirigakure Village, Raiga Kurozuki.
