Chapter 278 Confrontation and Conspiracy

Might Guy roared, and threw a fierce whirlwind kick with all his might, his toes creating a strong airflow that went straight to Borsalino's face. Borsalino just dodged slightly, his body turned into a golden light, and instantly moved to the side.

"Hey, Mushroom Head, what a scary guy." Borsalino said lazily, with a hint of teasing in his voice.

Matt Guy frowned, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that the opponent in front of him was extremely difficult, but he would never give up easily. He quickly formed seals with both hands, exerted force with his feet, and rushed towards Borsalino again.

"Konoha Whirlwind!" Kai's fist came with a fierce wind pressure, sweeping like a whirlwind. Borsalino still looked nonchalant, his body turned into a golden light, and easily dodged Kai's attack. Kai's fist hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Borsalino smiled slightly, and his figure appeared behind Kai again, "Light Speed ​​Kick!" A golden light suddenly burst out from under his feet and hit Kai's back. Kai turned around and blocked the attack with his arm, but the powerful impact still made him take a few steps back.

"This guy's speed is really troublesome. But I'm not bad either." Kai gritted his teeth secretly. His speed and strength seemed a little weak in front of Borsalino. But he would never give up easily. He took a deep breath and rushed forward again.

"Konoha Great Cyclone!" Kai's body was like a spinning top, his legs kicking out continuously, each kick bringing with it a strong wind pressure. Borsalino still turned into a golden light, easily dodging Kai's attack.

"Are these the only tricks you have?" Borsalino said lazily, with a hint of contempt in his voice.

Might Guy stomped his feet suddenly, and his body accelerated instantly, approaching Borsalino like a shadow.

"Eight Gates: Open!" Kai shouted, and the chakra in his body burst out rapidly, instantly increasing his body's speed and strength to the extreme. His fist, with a powerful impact, hit Borsalino in the face.

Borsalino's eyes narrowed slightly, and he obviously sensed Kai's change. His body turned into golden light again and he dodged quickly, but this time Kai's speed was fast enough, and his fist grazed his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.

But in just a moment, the bloodstains quickly disappeared.

"Oh, that's interesting." Borsalino gently rubbed his shoulders, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. His body turned into golden light again, and he quickly approached Kai.

"Light Speed ​​Kick!" Borsalino's foot, with a golden glow, hit Kai's abdomen. Kai gritted his teeth and blocked the attack with his arm, but the powerful impact still made him take a few steps back.

"It's not over yet!" Kai growled, quickly adjusted his body, and rushed towards Borsalino again. His fist hit Borsalino's face with great force.

Borsalino still turned into golden light to dodge, but this time Kai's speed was fast enough, and his fist grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

"It seems that I have to be more serious." Borsalino's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. His body turned into golden light again, and he quickly approached Kai, and his fist hit Kai's chest with a strong impact.

Kai gritted his teeth and blocked the blow with his arm, but the powerful impact forced him to step back a few steps. His body was covered with scars, but his will remained unbreakable.

"Is this your limit?" Borsalino said coldly, with a hint of disdain in his voice. His body turned into golden light again, and he quickly approached Kai, and his fist hit Kai's chest with a powerful impact.

Might Guy took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he could not hold back any more strength. "Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, Sixth Gate, Jingmen, open!" He growled, and the chakra in his body burst out instantly. His whole body was surrounded by blue energy, and his muscles became more swollen under the violent energy fluctuations.

"Towards the peacock!" Kai shouted, and rushed towards Borsalino like lightning. His fists struck out at high speed, and each punch brought a strong impact and blazing flames. The air rubbed against the high-speed movement of his fists to produce violent flames, forming a scene like a peacock spreading its tail. The flames exploded in the air, and bombarded Borsalino like countless fireballs.

Borsalino looked at this scene with disdain in his eyes. His body turned into a golden light and easily dodged Kai's attack. The flames bombarded the ground, stirring up large amounts of dust and rubble, shaking the entire Konoha Village.

"Is this your limit?" Borsalino said lazily, his body turned into golden light again and quickly left Kai's attack range.

Kai's fists kept hitting, but every punch missed. His body had reached its limit, sweat rolled down his forehead, and his muscles trembled in the intense exercise. Although his attacks were powerful, they seemed a little weak in front of Borsalino.

Flames burned in the air, and each of Kai's punches had a powerful impact, but Borsalino always dodged it easily. Kai's body had reached its limit, but he still refused to give up, and used all his strength in each punch.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Kai's breathing became heavier and heavier. His body had reached its limit and the attack speed of his fists gradually slowed down.

Borsalino watched all this coldly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. His body turned into golden light again, and he quickly appeared behind Kai, and his knife with great force hit Kai's neck directly.

"Off duty," Borsalino said lazily, slashing Kai's neck hard with his knife.

Kai felt a sharp pain, and his body lost strength instantly, and he fell limply to the ground. The flames gradually died out beside him, his eyes gradually closed, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

Borsalino looked at the fallen Kai with a sneer on his face, "What a scary guy." He clapped his hands lightly, carried Might Kai and left.

......

Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood face to face in the center battlefield of Konoha Village, and the air was filled with a strong murderous aura. There was no wavering in the eyes of the two men. Although they were once master and apprentice, at this moment, they only wanted to kill each other.

"Teacher, today I will let you witness my true strength." Orochimaru said coldly, with a strange smile on his lips.

There was a hint of complexity in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination, "Orochimaru, you are too conceited. The power of Konoha is not something you can destroy easily."

Orochimaru suddenly formed a seal, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" He shouted, and a strong wind pressure instantly rolled up and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen. The wind style brought a powerful force that seemed to tear everything apart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed a seal, "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" The ground quickly rose up, and a solid earth wall blocked his way. The wind pressure hit the earth wall, making a loud bang, and earth and rocks flew everywhere.

"What a strong wind pressure, worthy of Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself. He did not stop, and quickly formed a seal, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball spewed out of his mouth and rushed straight towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru quickly dodged and avoided the frontal attack of the fireball, but the flames brushed against his sleeves, bringing a burning pain. He sneered and quickly formed a seal, "Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!" A strong lightning burst out from his hand and hit Sarutobi Hiruzen directly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand and formed a seal, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A huge water dragon gushed out from his hand and headed towards the lightning. The water dragon and lightning met in the air, erupting with a strong energy wave that seemed to vibrate the air around them.

The two men jumped up at the same time and quickly approached each other. A sharp kunai appeared in Orochimaru's hand instantly, piercing Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest. Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly pulled out his own kunai, and the two kunai collided in the air, making a harsh metal collision sound.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The two men's kunai kept clashing, sparks flying everywhere. Orochimaru's attack was fierce, and each strike was aimed directly at the vital points. Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other hand, mainly used steady defense, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Orochimaru suddenly kicked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen's abdomen, and Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly raised his knee to block, but Orochimaru's strength was beyond his expectation, and he was knocked back a few steps. Orochimaru took advantage of the situation and chased after him, and the kunai passed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, almost grazing his cheek.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly counterattacked, he turned over and stabbed Orochimaru's shoulder with a kunai. Orochimaru dodged sideways, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's movements were extremely fast, and the kunai in his other hand had already reached Orochimaru's waist. Orochimaru was forced to retreat, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Your reflexes are still sharp, teacher," Orochimaru sneered.

"And your strength has also increased a lot, Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen responded in a deep voice.

The two separated again and stared at each other. Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness, but more of determination.

There was a gleam of fanaticism in Orochimaru's eyes. He was eager to prove his strength in front of his teacher and to destroy all obstacles that stood in his way.

"Go on, teacher, I still have a lot to show you." Orochimaru said, the kunai in his hand flashed again, and he pounced on Sarutobi Hiruzen with murderous intent.

"Come on, Orochimaru." Sarutobi Hiruzen responded, holding his kunai tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen once again confronted each other, and the air was filled with murderous intent. Their eyes met, full of determination and indomitable will. Orochimaru sneered, and he quickly formed a seal, preparing for the next round of attack.

"Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!" Orochimaru shouted, and a strong wind blade suddenly shot out from his hand, heading straight for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed a seal without hesitation, "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bullet!" A huge fire dragon spewed out of his mouth and headed towards the wind blade. The flames and wind blades collided in the air, and the flames were intensified by the wind blades, forming an even more violent fire storm.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed a seal, and a huge water dragon rose from the ground and pounced on the fire storm, extinguishing it in an instant. The water dragon continued to attack Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sneered and quickly formed a seal, "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" A solid earth wall rose up from the ground again, blocking the water dragon's attack.

"You are still as cautious as ever, Orochimaru." There was a hint of approval in Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone, but his eyes were still sharp.

Orochimaru showed no sign of weakness. He quickly formed seals with his hands, "Lightning Release: Earth Release!" A strong bolt of lightning shot up from the ground and quickly spread towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped lightly and jumped up quickly, avoiding the lightning attack. He formed seals with both hands, "Compound Ninja Technique: Fire Wind Tornado!" A strong fire wind tornado rose from his hands and rushed straight towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and he quickly formed a seal, "Compound Ninja Technique: Mud Flow Shield!" A powerful mud flow mixed with earth and water formed a solid shield in front of him, blocking the fierce attack of the fire and wind tornado.

The two switched their offense and defense quickly, neither of them relaxed at all. Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he formed a seal again, "Compound Ninjutsu: Thunder Wind Explosion!" A powerful explosion mixed with lightning and wind blades burst out from his hands and rushed straight towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed a seal, "Compound Ninjutsu: Fusion of Water and Fire!" A powerful defense mixed with water and fire formed in front of him, meeting the thunder and wind explosion. The two collided violently in the air, erupting a huge energy wave.

The air on the battlefield seemed to be distorted, and the two people's ninjutsu continued to intertwine, forming countless energy fluctuations.

After a fierce battle, both of them were injured to varying degrees. Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder was hit by lightning and bleeding, but he still stood straight, with no sign of retreat in his eyes. Orochimaru had scratches all over his body, but his injuries were healing quickly.

Looking at the panting Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Teacher, your strength is indeed extraordinary." Orochimaru licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with excitement, "However, you don't have the repair ability of the gene fluid, which will be your disadvantage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru coldly, "Orochimaru, your evil research is not everything. The real strength lies in the determination in your heart."

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's sermon, Orochimaru's smile deepened, "Then, let's continue this battle and see who is the real strong one."
