Dai and Han are well - matched opponents. They are both ninjas with high speed and high burst ability.
The two locked eyes, their eyes full of high - spirited fighting will.
"Let's go again."
Dai roared. He forcefully pushed off with his right foot, and green chakra gushed out.
The ground beneath his feet shattered with a loud noise, collapsing bit by bit in a circular pattern.
Using this force, Dai was like a green meteor, enveloped in a huge air wave, charging towards Han like a missile.
"Afraid of you? No way!"
Han's gaze remained calm, as peaceful as ever.
The white tails behind him waved. The red steam armor on his back spurted out a large amount of steam. In an instant, Han's strength and speed were boosted to a terrifying level.
Dai and Han's figures instantly disappeared from the spot. Two raging chakras clashed with a strong gust of wind.
Before the sound of the wind died down, the two launched a torrential offensive.
Due to their extremely high speed, it was impossible to see the moves clearly during their fight. Every punch and kick was the romance of a man.
Only the afterimages, accompanied by the flying rocks and sand on the ground, witnessed how intense the battle between the two sides was.
Fist against fist, leg against leg, each confrontation created gusts of air waves in the air.
This was a collision of strength. Han was the most suitable opponent Dai had ever met.
Dai's Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b] greatly enhanced his speed and strength. When all Eight Gates[b]Eight Gates[/b] were opened, he even defeated the Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist as easily as if they were a bunch of weaklings.
Han was also a genius from Iwagakure. He could use steam to burst out powerful strength. Coupled with the Boil Release[b]Boil Release[/b], he was even more powerful, earning him the title of "Steam Ninja".
In the [original plot], he even kicked Naruto in [Nine - Tails Chakra Mode] away!
Although neither of them had reached their peak strength in the original plot, they were still not to be underestimated.
The continuous roaring sounds echoed throughout the battlefield. Compared with the battles of other ninjas, this was clearly on a different level.
"The Jinchūriki from Iwagakure is so strong."
Shinryu Yūhi was attracted by the roaring sound. Han's performance shocked him.
He had no clue who would win between the two of them.
He simply stopped overthinking and focused on dealing with the Iwagakure ninja in front of him. Whether it was victory or defeat was no longer within his control.
That terrifying power was a disaster for him, an illusion - type [Ninja]. With his small build, he probably wouldn't even survive the second punch.
After a brief fight, neither Dai nor Han gained the upper hand. They punched each other and then stepped back.
"Awesome."
"Take this move, Morning Peacock[b]Morning Peacock[/b]."
An excited look appeared on Dai's face. He hadn't had such a fulfilling fight for a long time.
His high - speed attacking fists, accompanied by flames, struck at Han.
"So fast."
Han murmured in a low voice. Countless flames appeared in his eyes. At first, he could still block a few punches.
But as the punches got faster and faster, he could only defend passively and had no chance to fight back.
After Dai finished the Morning Peacock[b]Morning Peacock[/b], he kicked the injured Han flying.
Finally gaining the upper hand, Dai flashed and stuck to Han.
So what if he's a [Jinchūriki]? He's still getting pounded under my fists.
Before Han hit the ground, he saw Dai's sole getting larger in front of his eyes. Did this guy want to stomp on his head?
"Ah~"
With a roar, even more violent Chakra emerged from Han.
The white tails behind him disappeared. Han could barely be recognized as a human figure, and the bamboo hat[b]bamboo hat[/b] on his head was quite eye - catching.
A humanoid monster with a crimson[b]crimson[/b] body and five tails flying behind him appeared in front of Dai.
Han entered the half - Tailed Beast transformation state, and his strength and recovery ability were strengthened again.
There was a hint of brutality in his eyes. This was probably his current limit. If he fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, he would probably be devoured by the will of the Tailed Beast.
Dai sensed a hint of danger, but he couldn't stop his feet.
He wouldn't be willing if he didn't land[b]land[/b] this kick.
"Go to hell!"
Han's voice also became hoarse. Maintaining the half - Tailed Beast transformation state was not easy.
The crimson[b]crimson[/b] fist collided with Dai's foot.
An invisible wave of air blew far away, stirring up clouds of dust.
Sure enough, Dai's strength was a bit lacking and he was sent flying by the half - transformed Han.
Then they saw Han open his mouth, and a huge amount of Chakra began to gather.
The next moment, a huge Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] flew towards Dai.
"Open the Wonder Gate[b]Wonder Gate[/b]."
Dai didn't care that his injuries had just healed. If he didn't open the [Seven Gates], he was afraid he would die.
"Daytime Tiger[b]Daytime Tiger[/b]."
Dai, with blue steam rising[b]rising[/b] from his body, threw[b]threw[/b] a powerful straight punch at the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b].
The tiger - shaped[b]tiger - shaped[/b] air cannon lunged[b]lunged[/b] at the Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] at super - high speed, baring[b]baring[/b] its teeth and claws.
"Boom~"
The Tailed Beast Ball[b]Tailed Beast Ball[/b] collided with the Daytime Tiger[b]Daytime Tiger[/b], resulting in a violent explosion, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose.
The terrifying wave of air swept across the entire battlefield. Even ninjas with insufficient strength were blown to the ground.
This time, Dai still had some strength left. His eyes were shining with red light, and his center - parted hair fluttered without wind.
"I underestimated you."
Han's voice clearly reached Dai's ears. As he spoke, the half - transformed Han rushed towards Dai.
He couldn't maintain this state for long either.
The two seemed to be back on the same starting line.
Dai didn't say a word. He knew his time was running out. Once he couldn't maintain the [Seven Gates], he would become a martyr.
Gai was still young and couldn't be without a father.
Thinking of this, Dai's eyes became even more determined. It was time to use that move.
With the blue steam surging, Dai launched himself forward. He was so fast that there was a faint sound of breaking the air.
The two were in close - combat again. Dai deliberately showed a flaw.
Han seized the opportunity and punched with all his might, with all five tails exerting force.
At this time, Dai hung a strange smile on his lips.
He dodged to Han's back with a flash.
"What?"
Han knew he had fallen into a trap. He wanted to turn around, but it was too late.
"Konoha[b]Konoha[/b] Hidden Transmission Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b] Ultimate Art[b]Ultimate Art[/b] - One Thousand Years of Death[b]One Thousand Years of Death[/b]."
Dai put his hands together and formed the Tora[b]Tora[/b] seal.
He retracted his arms and then stabbed forward suddenly.
The target was directly Han's anus[b]anus[/b].
This was the only thing Sakumo gave him, and he was told never[b]never[/b] to use it unless it was an absolute necessity[b]absolute necessity[/b].
Especially not to use it in front of Kawaki, because something bad would happen.
Since Kawaki was not present, Dai had no concerns.
"Ow~"
Han let out a scream. He shot up into the sky like a rocket.
The Chakra in his body began to riot, and his lower body started to become out of control.
A sharp pain suddenly hit from behind.
"Damn Konoha Ninjas," (Kokuō)
As the symbiotic partner of the Jinchūriki, the Five-Tailed Beast was also in excruciating agony at this moment.
"Let me take control of your will. I'll avenge you."
Kokuō noticed that Han's will was starting to fade and tried to coax him.
"Don't even think about it."
With his last bit of clarity, Han firmly refused.
Breaking free from the [Half-Tailed Beast State], his figure crashed heavily to the ground.
Dai also couldn't maintain the [Seven Gates] state at this time. His eyes became clear again and he collapsed on the ground.
It was a situation where both sides suffered losses.
"Finish them off and rescue our people."
Shinryu Yūhi shouted loudly and rushed towards Dai. Naturally, some Konoha Jonin behind her dashed towards Han.
Similarly, the Iwagakure Ninjas dispatched someone to kill Dai.
After fending off several Iwagakure Ninjas, Shinryu Yūhi reached Dai's side.
As soon as she gently touched him, Dai endured unbearable pain.
"I'll guard you."
Shinryu Yūhi didn't forcefully take him away. She joined several late-arriving Konoha Ninjas to protect him right there.
