Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 393 Physical Combat Showdown

Tsunade was certain that when the two were having a deep conversation, Li Yao's physical strength was definitely not as great as it is now, and she couldn't have been wrong about it.

But now, Kai from the Seventh Gate was knocked back by Li Yao with a single punch.

Might Guy with Eight Gates could only be compared to Li Yao with Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated.

How is that possible?

Tsunade didn't understand, and neither did Jiraiya. He racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone in the ninja world who could do this.

"Teacher Kai!!"

When Xiao Li and the others who had rushed over from a distance saw Might Guy being knocked away, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where Might Guy had been sent flying.

Others charged toward Li Yao.

Naruto was defeated instantly, and Might Guy, who had activated the Eight Gates Formation, did not last long either.

At this moment, the people of Konoha, shrouded in despair, mustered the courage to fight to the death.

Even if they were to die, they would fight to the death.

"How could that be?"

In a corner of Konoha, Naruto was struggling when he sensed Guy being knocked away and instinctively stopped.

Li Yao's strength far exceeded his comprehension.

That speed and physical strength, if... no, no need for ifs.

The fact that he was still bound by the black thing on his body was enough to show that he would have been dead long ago if Li Yao hadn't wanted to capture him alive.

"Damn it!"

The harsh reality left Naruto feeling powerless; he didn't know how to defeat Li Yao.

Clang!

Clang!

The black ink was like hard steel, which even a group of Konoha ninjas could not cut through.

Gamashima, sweating profusely, turned to ask the ANBU ninja beside him.

"Where's Tsunade? Haven't they found her yet?"

"Not yet," the ANBU ninja replied. "Lady Tsunade has been missing since just now."

As soon as Li Yao appeared, the Anbu went to find Tsunade, but she had already disappeared without a trace, and they had searched the entire town of Konoha without success.

"Could it be Tsunade..." Gamashima's expression changed, and he had a bad feeling.

Naruto suddenly said, "Grandma Tsunade should have been taken to a mysterious dimension, but she's alright for now."

"A mysterious space..." Gamashima paused for a moment, then said, "You mean that undetectable alternate dimension?"

"Yes, Granny Tsunade mentioned it before..." Naruto nodded and repeated the information Tsunade had given him.

"What should we do then?" Gamashima was in despair.

The black thing on Naruto's body—he tried Wind Release, Fire Release, and Lightning Release—but it didn't work.

This black thing has no idea what kind of ninjutsu it is, and there's absolutely no way to counter it.

Perhaps only Tsunade's superhuman strength could destroy the black thing on Naruto's body, but as a result, Tsunade has already been captured.

Who can open the black thing on Naruto now?

"Let's do it!"

At this moment, the surviving Akimichi clan ninja arrived, carrying two special iron chains.

The chains wrapped around the ink-colored ropes on Naruto's body, one on each side. The Akimichi clan ninjas used the Full Body Expansion Technique to transform into giants, then split into two teams to pull the chains, forcefully tugging at the ink-colored ropes on Naruto's body.

"We absolutely have to succeed!"

Naruto also struggled to break free, cooperating with the Akimichi clan ninjas to pull on the ink-colored ropes binding him.

Regardless, he had to get out first.

While Naruto was striving to break free from his restraints.

The Konoha ninja rushing towards Li Yao had already reached within a hundred meters of him.

Before these people could make a move, a huge roar exploded in the distance, and a red figure shot in like a cannonball.

瀑！

A white shockwave exploded instantly, and Li Yao's figure disappeared from the spot, transforming into a blue cannonball that shot towards the charging Might Guy.

Might Guy, in his Eight Gates Formation, is not only invincible in strength, but also possesses maximum physical defense. Li Yao's punch just now was not enough to kill him.

Clang!

boom!

This time, the two did not unleash shockwaves, but instead exchanged blows with their fists, a head-on collision. The two high-speed punches collided like five or six times the speed of a grenade launcher colliding in mid-air.

The force that erupted in an instant formed a terrifying ripple of power, crushing everything in its path. The moment it touched the ground, everything was reduced to dust.

Boom!

A 30-meter-wide circular crater appeared on the ground.

The shockwave transformed into a fierce gale that instantly swept outwards.

"ah………"

"Hurry...ah!"

The Konoha ninja rushing towards Li Yao was blown away by the gust of wind as if his body were falling leaves.

And this was just a punch exchanged between Li Yao and Matt Kai.

Boom boom boom...!

On the ground, Li Yao and Might Guy were nowhere to be seen; only red and blue light and shadow intertwined, leaving a large crater with each intersection.

The terrifying force created a shockwave that swept across the surroundings.

"It's impossible to get close!"

"This is not a battle we can participate in!"

The Konoha ninja who came to provide support knelt on the ground, their faces blank as they looked at the deep craters that had appeared on the ground.

They couldn't even get close enough to Li Yao and Matt Kai to fight within a hundred meters of each other, let alone participate in such a battle.

Given their terrifying speed, they might not even need to attack; simply moving their bodies normally would instantly turn anyone who stood in their way into a pile of minced meat and explode.

This kind of combat has completely surpassed the combat understanding of ordinary ninjas.

"Is this something that can be done with physical skills?"

Some Konoha ninjas who primarily used taijutsu watched the battle between Li Yao and Might Guy with shocked expressions, finding it hard to believe that taijutsu could produce such destructive power.

Compared to these two, their physical skills were as weak as a baby's.

"That monster...why isn't it dead yet?!"

The more intense the battle, the more desperate the Konoha people watching from afar felt, each one wishing Li Yao would die immediately.

To reiterate, Might Guy's power is a brief burst of energy bought with his life, and it cannot be sustained.

Li Yao's power is his own, and he doesn't have to pay the price with his life.

The longer the game drags on, the closer victory gets to Li Yao.

But what could Matt Kai do?

He still has Night Guy, but after using it, he will no longer be able to restrain the enemy and buy Naruto time to escape.

And does using it guarantee a one-hit kill?

Looking at Li Yao, whose face was excited but whose breathing remained steady, Might Guy had no confidence at all. Even if he used Night Guy, the chances of his opponent being able to withstand it were too high.

He was well aware of his physical condition.

My current power is obtained by burning my life force, while the other party's is not.

This means that I've fought desperately, but the other side hasn't.

Nightbringer is unlikely to be able to hurt his opponent.

Since that's the case, he might as well drag it out a little longer to buy time for Naruto and for Konoha.

boom!

After one exchange of attacks, Li Yao did not continue his assault.

Might Guy also stopped to the side, the two of them about a hundred meters apart, looking at each other. Might Guy looked puzzled, wondering why Li Yao had stopped.

"Unleash your strongest attack!"

Li Yao said that he could clearly sense that Might Guy's chakra was almost depleted, and he could only use Night Guy once.

If the fight continues, Might Guy will be unable to activate Night Guy.

That would be a bit boring. Li Yao wanted to experience Ye Kai's oppressive aura.
