Seeing that Might Duy agreed, Shinichi took a deep breath, his chest bulging like a bellows, as an extremely deep and violent power was brewing and awakening.
Whoosh!
Centered on him, the fine sand, dust, and even broken blades of grass on the ground were suddenly swept up by an invisible yet powerful suction force, spinning wildly in mid-air and forming a rapidly expanding vortex!
The air emitted a low, mournful wail, as if a sleeping behemoth was struggling to awaken, stirring everything around it.
The next moment, the chakra around him no longer flowed gently, but burst forth like a flood bursting its banks!
Blue chakra flames shot into the sky, making him look like a burning blue torch.
His power and aura instantly surged to a terrifying new level!
He stomped his left foot forward!
Boom!
The rocky ground exploded open with a loud bang, and with the force of the recoil, his body began to spin rapidly like a top, stirring up the vast chakra around him, transforming into a wildly spinning azure hurricane that stretched from the sky to the ground, rushing toward Might Duy!
Buzz!
The shrill whistling sound of the air being torn apart pierced the audience's eardrums.
Wherever the hurricane passed, the invisible wind pressure emanating from the outer perimeter was like countless sharp blades, cutting crisscrossing grooves into the hard rocky ground along the way.
Before the gravel and sand could even fly, they were already being finely crushed!
During the sprint, the azure chakra surrounding him did not dissipate, but instead became more turbulent, solidified, and powerful!
They intertwine, entwine, and combine rapidly, as if they were alive, outlining a breathtaking silhouette.
First, dense scale-like patterns surfaced across the outer layer of the hurricane, glinting with a metallic chill.
Next, two dragon horns, as if forged from quenched black iron and tipped with savage barbs, thrust out from the front of the storm's eye.
Finally, at the foremost end of the azure hurricane, a dragon's head took shape, lined with folds of raw power, its massive invisible jaws spread wide as if capable of devouring everything, emanating a primal and violent aura.
In an instant, a majestic and ferocious azure dragon, formed from Chakra and the surrounding hurricane, descended upon the arena with the force to destroy everything!
Konoha's ultimate Taijutsu technique - Leaf Dragon God!
Although Master Chen had said he would teach him after he became a Chunin, perhaps seeing his physique and willpower during the month-long special training before the finals, Master Chen ultimately bestowed this ultimate technique upon him ahead of schedule.
As an absolute genius, Shinichi also learned this move within a month!
"Good!!!"
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Might Duy was not alarmed but delighted, his eyes bursting with a light even more intense than the green flames around him!
He roared and pushed his chakra and power to their limits.
Faced with the countless sharp wind blades that swept in first, his fists turned into a blurry afterimage, striking forward at an ultra-high speed that was impossible for the naked eye to catch!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The punch was so fast that it violently rubbed against the air, causing countless balls of scorching flames to burst out. These flames were not Fire Style Ninjutsu, but rather the pure product of speed and power rubbing against the air!
As if they were alive, they formed a barrage of fire covering the entire area in front of them, precisely meeting every incoming wind blade and exploding in mid-air with continuous bursts of fire!
Against this dazzling backdrop of intertwined flames and wind blades, the azure dragon roared and charged toward Might Duy!
Whoosh!!!
Facing the dragon's head at point-blank range, Might Duy poured all his strength, will, and the violent energy he had gained after opening the six gates into his right fist without reservation.
The Chakra condensed on his fist, intertwined with the high-temperature flames, making his fist seem like a small, scorching sun.
He twisted his waist, thrust his shoulder, and threw a punch!
The movements were so simple yet seemed to embody a lifetime of conviction.
"Morning Peacock!"
Rumble!
The azure dragon and the scorching fist collided head-on without any fancy moves!
At that moment, time seemed to stand still for a split second.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable burst of terrifying energy erupted!
A blinding white light engulfed the center of the arena, and a deafening roar shook the entire stadium!
The violent shockwave, mixed with turbulent blue, green, and red energy currents, spread wildly in all directions in a spherical shape, crashing heavily against the pre-reinforced barrier wall and creating countless ripples!
The audience was deathly silent. Everyone involuntarily held their breath, their eyes wide open, stunned speechless by a collision far beyond imagination.
"Are you kidding me...? Is this some kind of Taijutsu technique?"
"Taijutsu... Can they actually reach this level?!"
"This... this is basically two large-scale Ninjutsu clashing!"
"That's terrifying... those two Konoha ninjas..."
"Today was truly... well worth the price..."
No one knew how much time passed. Perhaps only a few seconds, yet it felt as long as a century.
The blinding light and flying dust gradually subsided.
In the center of the field, a huge, charred crater appeared.
At the edge of the pit, a figure slowly stood up; it was Shinichi.
He was panting heavily, his forehead was covered with a mixture of sweat and dust, and his clothes were torn in many places, clearly indicating that he had been greatly exhausted.
One of his arms, however, was steadily supporting another figure, green-clad, almost completely drained, barely able to stand with his support, Might Duy.
The two slowly walked out of the smoke-filled area. Although Might Duy was trembling all over and almost exhausted, he had a thoroughly satisfied smile on his face.
He raised his head, and with his last bit of strength, flashed a bright, white-toothed smile at the equally disheveled but sharp-eyed referee. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly: "Referee... I concede!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body went limp, and he leaned almost entirely against Shinichi.
Shinichi steadily supported him and looked around.
After a brief silence, the entire venue erupted in a deafening roar of exclamations, praises, and incredulous discussions!
This duel has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every witness.
"Third Hokage, Konoha truly is as full of talented people as ever."
On the high platform, the third Kazekage remained calm, his tone revealing little emotion, but his gaze remained fixed on the two people being helped down from the platform.
The power of that attack was terrifying, and it could be felt even through the barrier.
However, seeing that Shinichi was clearly exhausted and Might Duy was completely drained, the turmoil in his heart caused by the strength of the two of them subsided somewhat.
"Not at all, Kazekage-sama, you flatter me."
The third Hokage smiled and took a puff of his cigarette, his tone as warm as ever: "Under your leadership, the Village Hidden in the Sand is thriving and producing many talented individuals."
However, Shinichi... his Taijutsu has actually reached this level; he's even mastered the Leaf Dragon God?
The third Hokage's thoughts shifted slightly.
Inside the arena, the roar of cheers continued.
As Shinichi helped Might Duy walk towards the rest area, a very slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
