Clang!
At close range, Kirito's blade, Shirayuki, effortlessly sliced through Kakashi's kunai. Though Kakashi quickly ducked to avoid the follow-up slash, Kirito immediately pivoted and delivered a sweeping kick that sent him flying.
Thud!
"Kakashi!"
Might Guy reacted instantly, catching Kakashi mid-air. But even after retreating several steps, Guy felt as though he had caught a boulder, Kirito's internal force had transferred through Kakashi's body like a sledgehammer.
Still, with his monstrous strength, Guy stomped hard on the ground, dispersing most of the force on impact.
"You okay?" Asuma and Kurenai rushed over with concern.
Kakashi shook his head. "Just a scratch. But… honestly, I can't beat that kid."
"He's gotten that strong?" Asuma looked stunned.
"That Hyuga kid…?"
"Also, look at his eyes." Kurenai's tone was certain. "That is definitely not the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."
As Hinata's mentor, she knew the Byakugan better than most.
"I don't know how, but something's off," Kakashi added.
"His entire aura… that detached, scornful gaze, it's like he sees everything in this world as beneath him."
He narrowed his eyes. "He took down Danzo alone. If we want a chance, we'll have to fight together."
"Tch… What the hell did that old bastard Danzo do this time?" Asuma muttered irritably. As the son of the Third Hokage, he rarely saw eye to eye with his father, but his disdain for Danzo ran even deeper.
"Danzo slipped away while we were distracted." Kakashi scanned the area, Danzo's presence had vanished completely.
"Well then."
Guy cracked his knuckles, grinning. "Let's show this overly fired-up youth what it means to challenge Konoha's finest!"
And thus, it began, the Four Elite Jonin of Konoha:
Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, and Yūhi Kurenai, all joined forces to take on Kirito.
But even facing Konoha's most elite, Kirito's expression remained cold and unreadable. With a stomp, he vanished, his form blurring into motion as he rushed the group.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Kakashi acted instantly. A torrent erupted from the ground, spiraling into a roaring water dragon that lunged at Kirito.
But Kirito didn't evade, he simply slashed.
Whoosh!
With a single strike, the rampaging dragon froze solid, shattering into an ice sculpture in mid-motion.
"Flying Swallow: Sky Pierce!"
Asuma lunged forward, twin chakra blades crackling with fierce Wind Release. He blocked Kirito's next blow, sparks flying from the clash.
The twin trench knives, infused with razor-sharp wind chakra, weren't ordinary weapons. Though Asuma wasn't at Kage-level, his mastery over Wind Release far surpassed Danzo's.
Kirito tried to freeze the blades, but each attempt was shredded by the dense wind chakra encasing them.
"You're not cutting through these that easily!" Asuma growled.
Kirito's left hand clenched, and drove a punch toward Asuma's side.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
A blur of motion, Guy intercepted with a powerful roundhouse kick.
Kirito's punch met Guy's leg like stone striking steel, jolting his arm numb.
"When it comes to taijutsu, no one can beat me!" Guy declared proudly.
Kakashi moved in front while Kurenai flanked behind. Both pressed kunai to Kirito's vitals.
In that moment, Kirito's right arm was locked in a clash with Asuma, his left intercepted by Guy, and his flanks surrounded by Kakashi and Kurenai.
The Four Jonin Formation.
It was a textbook trap, immobilize and disable.
Stillness. Tension.
A silence sharp enough to cut.
And then, it happened.
A pulse, like a gravitational surge, exploded from Kirito's body.
A repulsive force!
At point-blank range, the four Jonin were helpless. It was as if an invisible wall slammed into them, launching all four backwards like ragdolls.
BOOM!
Dozens of meters away, they crashed to the ground. Bruised, bloodied, each coughed or spat blood.
"What... was that?" Asuma wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.
Kakashi, panting, replied: "It felt like a jutsu that repels everything outward from himself."
"Repel… everything?!"
Guy had taken the full brunt of the attack. His right arm, broken. Gritting his teeth, he popped the joint back into place with a practiced twist.
"That ability… it's absurd."
Kakashi shook his head. His voice dropped to a serious tone.
"The stronger the technique, the higher the price. Every jutsu has limits."
He narrowed his eye.
"If he had this kind of power, why didn't he use it from the beginning?"
"That means there's a weakness... a condition. If we can find it, that's our opening."
