Opening Gate, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain.
In just a short instant.
The rampaging Seiryū opened the Eight Gates up to the Fourth Gate, the Gate of Pain!
As long as the body could withstand it, the Eight Gates could force open the eight gates within the body!
Seiryū only had his subconscious left, so he did not consider the consequences at all.....
But the Fourth Gate, the Gate of Pain, was also his limit!
Whoosh!
Dark red and pale green chakra intertwined, yet remained clearly distinct from each other.
Forming a special chakra cloak.
This ability, similar to an explosive power-up, raised Seiryū's strength, and the chakra fluctuations around him became even more powerful!
Naruto stared blankly ahead and muttered, "Isn't this the move Lee used back during the Chunin Exams? Sage Seiryū can use it too..."
Yamato also frowned. "Who exactly is this person? Why have I never heard of him!?"
This Sage Seiryū, Yamato was certain, he had never heard of him at all!!
"This is... the Eight Gates?"
Tsunade was extremely knowledgeable, and she recognized that what Seiryū was using now was the Eight Gates.
Her expression sank, and she gritted her teeth. "Damn it, this brat actually trained in this forbidden taijutsu too!?"
The Eight Gates was not exactly a secret to many people.
There were still those who knew about it.
It was just that the training difficulty was too high, and very few people could display the true power of the Eight Gates, so many people overlooked it.
Who would have thought Seiryū had actually learned this forbidden taijutsu too?
And he opened it in this state!
Without a doubt, Seiryū's situation had now become even more complicated and dangerous.
Using Shunpo, the ground beneath his feet shattered.
Borrowing that recoil force, Seiryū's figure turned into a streak of light, charging toward Tsunade at a speed the eyes could not follow.
His swinging claws tore through the air as they slammed heavily toward Tsunade.
Tsunade dodged, and the ground split apart under Seiryū's strike. Shockwaves spread, and chunks of broken stone shot outward.
"Ah..."
Amid a low growl, Seiryū's gaze shifted, his crimson eyes locking onto Minato, who had flashed in.
The chakra tail behind him whipped out, turning into a lash!
Smack!
The air exploded at that moment, with ripples spreading outward, but it still missed!
"Minato, I'll create an opening for you, you just need to have the sealing jutsu ready!"
Tsunade shouted in a low voice toward Minato, who had appeared elsewhere.
Then she closed in on Seiryū.
Her fist swirled with chakra as she threw a heavy punch straight at him, filled with overwhelming force!
Seiryū reacted instantly, his senses incomparably sharp, his eyes still crimson.
He threw a punch as well, one that also contained monstrous strength, and it collided with Tsunade's incoming fist!
Boom!
One on the left, one on the right.
The two fists carrying terrifying power collided in the next moment. A roar rang out, and the ground shook continuously.
The next moment.
Both of them were knocked backward at the same time by the force in the other's punch.
Screech!
Amid a harsh scraping sound, Seiryū's blade-like feet dug tightly into the ground, carving a trail over ten meters long before he managed to steady himself.
Boom boom boom!
Seiryū lowered his body and opened his mouth, revealing several sharp teeth.
Dark red chakra gathered at his mouth, and one dark red chakra shell after another shot out, setting off repeated explosions!
This was not a Tailed Beast Bomb.
But compressed chakra artillery shells!
Tsunade's figure flashed repeatedly, dodging the bombardment of chakra shells. When she could not dodge, she punched her way through, then charged at Seiryū again!
Seiryū's eyes were crimson and violent, and he fearlessly met her head-on.
"Boom! Bang bang bang!"
Their fists clashed once again.
Then they began fighting at close range with taijutsu.
They exchanged blows back and forth, fists and kicks colliding, as dense muffled impacts rang out!
Another heavy fist collision, and both of them retreated at the same time!
Buzz buzz buzz...
The humming of a Massive Rasengan rang out across the field once again. Seiryū's extended arm dragged the Rasengan as it smashed toward Tsunade ahead.
Boom!
Tsunade's eyes were sharp. With a step on the ground, under the effect of her monstrous strength, her speed suddenly increased by a large margin.
While dodging the attack, she drove a punch straight into Seiryū's chest!
Boom.
Seiryū's body could not stop itself from flying backward, crashing into the wall behind him and smashing a dent into it. Falling rubble buried his body.
But in the next moment.
The rubble covering him was blasted away by the eruption of chakra. Seiryū stood up uninjured, roaring at the sky, the chakra around his body still powerful.
The diamond-shaped mark of the Yin Seal at his forehead glowed an even brighter red...
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto's voice came from the left. Dozens of Narutos launched an attack on Seiryū at the same time, surrounding him densely from all sides.
"Big Ball Rasengan!"
With the help of the other clones, Big Ball Rasengan, each slightly larger than a basketball, appeared in the hands of more than ten Narutos at this moment.
With overwhelming numbers, like an army pressing forward.
More than ten Narutos carried Big Ball Rasengan as they slammed down toward Seiryū!
"Roar!"
Seiryū's senses had already caught the incoming Naruto. He let out a roar, then slammed his right leg heavily into the ground, releasing terrifying power at that moment.
The force of that kick shattered the ground, causing stone slabs to jut upward, and an immense wave of force swept outward as well, sweeping across the incoming Narutos.
Making them burst into white smoke and disappear.
The others that did not disappear were still forced back and could not approach easily.....
"So strong!!"
The forced-back Naruto was shocked beyond belief.
And from Seiryū's rampaging state, he vaguely realized just how terrifying he himself had been when he lost control before.
No wonder so many people feared the Nine-Tails inside him...
"Wood Release: Wood Binding Eternal Burial!"
The white smoke from the dispelled shadow clones obscured the vision. Yamato seized the opportunity, forming hand seals as he advanced.
Once he reached a closer position, he pressed both hands onto the ground and used Wood Release!
At Seiryū's feet, wooden branches burst up from the ground.
They turned into chains and bound him tightly.
Wood Release was already adept at restricting movement, and since it spread out from underground, it was hard to detect!
"Nicely done!"
The surrounding area had already been scattered with Minato's specially made kunai. His figure flashed to the Flying Thunder God kunai closest to Seiryū.
Then he used Body Flicker and moved straight toward Seiryū.
His hands formed seals, and the sealing jutsu was already prepared!
Crack crack...
Seiryū struggled, chakra surging through his body as monstrous strength burst forth.
He actually snapped apart the Wood Release branches binding him, sending wood splinters flying.
His claw-like hand tore down like a blade toward Minato, who was already within arm's reach!
Left with no choice, Minato could only dodge with Flying Thunder God Technique and reappear elsewhere.
Then he launched an attack from behind Seiryū...
Smack!!
But what greeted Minato was a tail.
As if it had already caught his movement, stopping him from getting closer.
