Goku had many ways to neutralize Guy's attack, the most direct being a ki blast that would instantly obliterate him.
However, his goal wasn't to kill Guy, but rather to see just how powerful Guy's Eight Gates could be at its limit.
Therefore, he only used breathing techniques to enhance his own strength for defense.
Sixty times!
Keep in mind that even in his Golden Warrior form, it was only fifty times stronger. This Eight Gates technique was incredibly powerful.
He wondered if, if he learned it, he could combine it with his Golden Warrior form, or even in his Great Ape form.
However, he quickly discovered the technique's weakness.
Through his observation of the Transparent World and his perception of ki, He discovered that after opening the Eight Gates, Guy's life force was being consumed at an alarming rate.
His body seemed unable to withstand the power, and was collapsing.
This was different from his Golden Warrior state.
After transforming into the Golden Warrior, he only experienced more energy depletion and physical exhaustion, but no real danger to his life.
But for him, this didn't seem to be a major problem.
After all, he had Senzu Beans.
And even without opening the final Gate of Death, just opening the first seven gates, with the tenfold boost that could be stacked, would still be a tremendous improvement.
"It's not over yet! The Blue Beast of Konoha has vanished, the era of the Red Beast has arrived! Take my final blow!"
With a roar, Guy burned all his life force and chakra, forming a giant red dragon that enveloped his body, and kicked towards Goku.
This kick even distorted space itself.
"Night Guy!"
"Guy, no!"
At this moment, Kakashi and the others, who were not far away, saw Guy unleash the Eight Gates Armor Formation, kicking
towards Goku with his strongest technique, and felt as if the sky had fallen.
Because of Danzo's trickery, all the ninjas in the village believed that Goku was an intruder. If Goku were killed, they would be consumed by guilt.
Even if Goku were unharmed, Guy would die after using the Eight Gates Formation.
And all of this was because of Danzo's conspiracy; they now wished they could tear Danzo to pieces immediately.
They shouldn't have hesitated in the secret room; after Goku revealed what Danzo had done, they should have helped Goku kill Danzo on the spot.
"What a powerful technique!"
Faced with Guy's life-risking strongest attack, Goku finally got serious.
"Giant!"
His body instantly swelled to sixty meters, and he blocked the attack with both hands, taking the full force of Night Guy's strike.
And yet, he was still completely unharmed.
"I didn't expect even Night Guy couldn't hurt you..."
The attack ended, and Guy's chakra dissipated completely, his entire body cracked, falling from the sky like a broken piece of porcelain.
"You're already very strong."
Goku reached out and caught the muscle, then his body returned to its normal size.
"Guy-sensei!"
At this moment, Lee and the other two, who had been blasted away by Goku's burst of energy, reappeared.
Seeing Guy barely clinging to life, their faces filled with sorrow and anger, they charged at Goku with all their might.
"Stop fighting! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Kakashi and Asuma, the fastest of the three, stopped Lee and the others, their faces also filled with sorrow as they looked at Guy.
But they... What could they say?
They saw it from afar; Goku had been on the defensive the entire time, never actually attacking.
It was Guy who misunderstood Goku, causing him to unleash all his power in an attack, resulting in the backlash and his current state.
But was Guy wrong?
Of course not. Guy was willing to sacrifice his life for the village.
The one at fault wasn't Goku, nor Guy, but Danzo, the one who played tricks!
"Don't worry, he'll be alright."
Sensing the sorrow emanating from Kakashi and the others, Goku took a Senzu Bean from his box and flicked it into Guy's mouth.
"It's that magical bean!"
Asuma, who had eaten a bean before, immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.
He had been on the verge of death due to Hidan's curse.
But after eating the magical bean Goku gave him, he immediately recovered completely, which was simply unbelievable.
Therefore, he always felt that he owed Goku a life.
That magical bean must be incredibly precious; he estimated that Goku only had one, its value immeasurable.
Even if he went bankrupt paying at the barbecue restaurant, it wouldn't be as precious as that bean.
Speaking of bankruptcy, it's all tears when I think about it.
This morning, I went to pay at the barbecue restaurant and almost got made to wash dishes because I didn't have enough money. I had to ask my future wife.
He borrowed some money to pay off the debt.
His wedding is in a week, and his face is even emptier than his body.
Looks like he'll really have to borrow some money from three good students to tide him over.
"Gulp!"
The Senzu Bean entered Guy's mouth, the rich life energy causing Guy's body to react instantly, and he swallowed it subconsciously.
The next second, Guy, whose body had already cracked, "whoosh"ed as he stood up from the ground.
"Guy, how are you feeling?"
Kakashi immediately went up to ask with concern.
Guy scrambled a couple of times on the spot, raised his hand and gave Kakashi a thumbs up, revealing his shining white teeth.
"Don't worry, my eternal rival Kakashi, I feel better than ever!"
"Kakashi-sensei, what happened with the misunderstanding you mentioned earlier?"
At this moment, the calmest of them all, Neji, asked.
"Goku isn't an invading ninja from another village; you were tricked by Danzo."
Kakashi briefly recounted the whole story.
After listening, Guy immediately bowed to Goku and said,
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Thank you for repaying evil with kindness and saving my life!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Your Eight Gates technique is very powerful. Can you teach me?"
Goku waved his hand, not caring about such things. What he cared about was the Eight Gates technique, which could enhance his strength.
Although he could see the flow of chakra within Guy's body through his Transparent World, the Eight Gates technique was different from other ninjutsu.
It involved not only the flow of chakra but also the pressure points.
So if someone taught him, he would definitely learn it faster.
"No problem!"
Guy gave a thumbs up and flashed his bright white teeth again.
The Eight Gates technique was created by his father, but he had never considered it his private property.
He was willing to teach anyone willing to learn.
Unfortunately, the learning conditions for the Eight Gates were too high, requiring an extremely strong physique and willpower. Currently, only Rock Lee in the entire Konoha Village had received the true teachings.
Neji and Tenten didn't meet the requirements, and even Kakashi had only learned to open one gate.
Because the learning conditions were too high, and it was easy to ruin or even kill oneself through excessive practice.
The Eight Gates technique was also listed as a forbidden technique in Konoha Village.
Given Goku's physical abilities just now, he absolutely met the requirements to learn the Eight Gates.
"So strong! He even knows the Expansion Technique! Even Might Guy with all eight gates open couldn't break through his defenses. He definitely has strength comparable to the First and Second Hokage!"
Danzo, hiding in the shadows, quickly removed the bandage from his right eye, his face filled with greed as he looked at Goku in front of him.
He used Izanagi at the cost of one Sharingan eye, and with the help of his summoning beast, Nightmare-Eater, he evaded Tsunade, who was unable to unleash her full power due to expending too much chakra to summon the Living Slug, and caught up he also witnessed the final scene of Guy opening the Eight Gates and fighting Goku.
The genin-level Duy, relying on the Eight Gates technique, fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, losing four and severely injuring three.
The power of Guy, an elite jonin-level, unleashing the full power of the Eight Gates is unimaginable.
At least he felt...
He couldn't even withstand a single blow.
However, Goku actually blocked it, and not only that, he didn't get hurt at all.
Clearly, Goku's true strength had surpassed that of Might Guy at full power with the Eight Gates Armor Technique.
Therefore, in his heart, only the First and Second Hokage could be compared to him.
So, there was no need to hesitate; he would directly use Kotoamatsukami to control Goku, and he would recreate the glory of Konoha during the First Hokage's era.
He could even unify the entire ninja world with Goku's power!
