Chapter 37: Fire Fist and Moonlight (Edited)

Auge!!!

With a punch, the wooden stake in front of the was hit and exploded, sending many small splinters flying.

"It can light fire..."

The effect of this punch shocked Yeruashi.

Until the opening of the sixth gate, the Hachimon Tonko user has no ranged attack, and only after the opening of the sixth gate is it possible to carve flames, due to the frictional force against the air, to defeat the enemy at long range!

"Fuh!"

Yeruashi took a deep breath, his fists suddenly struck and swiftly moved forward.

Flames ignited around his fist again, but it wasn't enough to create fire projectiles.

After striking a few dozen blows, Yeruashi stopped.

"Just a little more..."

Yeruashi came out of the life gate state and immediately felt the chakra flowing along his Tenketsu calm down. He took a deep breath, but showed no disappointment, on the contrary, a hint of excitement shone in his eyes.

The effect of opening the third gate exceeded his expectations!

If we talk about the speed aspect, the effect of opening the third gate in the time acceleration state is already close to the opening of the six gates and allows him to partially reproduce the effect of the peacock dawn!

"Although it is not possible to use a ranged attack, it should be able to reproduce at least a third of the power of the peacock dawn!"

When attacking, the flame envelops his fist, which can already be classified as a unique style of Taijutsu, but it seemed difficult to name the new taijutsu.

Dawn of the incomplete peacock....

No suitable animal comes to mind, instead of incomplete morning peacock, it is better to simply call it Fire Fist.

"By the way, after practicing the cell stimulation technique, my body's resilience really became very strong... after opening the third door, I only feel significant weakness in my limbs."

Yeruashi stretched and assessed the state of his body, he didn't feel any pain, even the weakness was disappearing at a remarkable speed.

You should know that he first opened the third gate, the gate of life!

After further training and adaptation of the body, perhaps the side effect of the third gate will be completely offset by the regenerative ability of the Cell Stimulation technique!

"Orochimaru is truly a genius to be able to develop this technique."

Yeruashi sighed involuntarily.

He was not interested in the techniques created by Orochimaru based on the Cell Stimulation technique, the snake-like body, Moulting human skin, etc. The only thing that suits him is this Cell Stimulation technique.

"Right..."

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Yeruashi's mind.

He pulled out the white light chakra sword and performed a seal with his free hand, in an instant, arcs of lightning rolling across the blade.

"Raiton... Lightning Cut!"

After imbuing lightning chakra into the blade, Yeruashi took a deep breath and opened the third gate again.

After opening the third gate, the gate of life, the chakra inside his body went crazy again, and the lightning arcs surrounding the white light chakra sword also became a little unstable, but still did not collapse.

"Indeed! I can release the lightning cut (Raiton: Lightning Cut) even with the third gate open!"

Yeruashi felt relieved.

Without wasting time to think, he immediately entered a state of triple acceleration and struck with the white light chakra sword.

Superimposed on the speed gained from the opening of the third gate, the gate of life, the triple time acceleration and the lightning cut, when the sword fell, a crescent-shaped arc of light flew out in an instant.

Swoosh!!!

This crescent-shaped arc of light was about a meter long, cutting forward, it left a ravine in front of Yeruashi, extending up to five meters away and then dimmed and disappeared.

"Success!"

Seeing this scene, Yeruashi couldn't help but smile.

A similar effect that only occurs when the second stage of Hatake kenjutsu is reached!

Only depending on pure speed and strength obtained from the combination of three different forces at once, he advanced to approximately the second stage of Hatake kenjutsu!

"It should be a bit weaker than a true second stage Hatake kenjutsu, but even a Jounin would find it extremely difficult to deal with such an attack. Under the right circumstances, it would have a great chance of killing him with a single blow!"

It may not be easy to deal with an Elite Jounin who has experienced many battles, which are close to Kage level in terms of speed and ninjutsu, but if a Jounin encounters this strike, there is a high probability that he will be killed in an instant.

"Finally master a technique that can be relied upon in a critical situation."

"I'll call it... Moon Flash."

Yeruashi sighed and closed the door of life.

Opening the third door twice in a short period of time, of course, caused a great side effect that could not be fully compensated by the body's increased resilience. This time, Yeruashi felt a painful sensation in his limbs and waist muscles.

However, the pain was not too severe, he was able to endure it without much difficulty, and after about ten minutes the pain subsided noticeably.

"By the way, my current level of strength is quite difficult to assess."

Tokubetsu Jounin won't last long against him, the battle should be over after a few exchanges of blows, and if he uses Moon Flash, the opponent will die instantly with a single blow.

Yeruashi is confident in his ability to resist and even defeat a normal Jounin in a short time, but against an Elite Jounin, things are much more difficult.

If the opponent is not crushed in the shortest possible time, Yeruashi will most likely be defeated, but under normal circumstances, he should be able to escape.

Probably his strength level is somewhere between an ordinary Jounin and an Elite Jounin?

Yeruashi gave a rough estimate of his strength level.

So what is he going to do after surpassing the level of an ordinary Jounin?

The answer is very simple: continue training!

The world of ninja is full of dangers, a Jounin's strength is far from enough to be able to walk through it safely!

"Fourth gate... if I can master the peacock dawn after opening it, then my strength should be close to Kage level."

There is a large gap between Elite Jounin and Kage, the number of Elite Jounins in each of the Grand Ninja Villages is still relatively large, but Kage level ninjas can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

According to Yeruashi, after reaching the top of the Jounin level in all aspects and learning several powerful secret techniques, one can reach the Kage level or come as close to it as possible. This quasi-Kage level is rather vague, located between the Elite Jounin and Kage levels, it may include, for example, some of the seven swordsmen of the Mist.

The power level of the seven Mist swordsmen can vary, some of them have personal power at the Elite Jounin level and have advanced to the quasi-Kage level after mastering the sword, such as Fuguki Suikazan after receiving Samehada.

Among the Kage, there is also a difference in strength, if desired, they can be divided into low level Kage, mid-level Kage, and higher level Kage.

Gaara's father, the Fourth Kazekage, can be attributed to the low level Kage. Orochimaru, at the time of leaving Konoha, has the middle level of a Kage, and Hiruzen from the same period, is at the upper level of Kage, at that time he still has the ability to kill Orochimaru.

If Yeruashi wants to rely on his ability to survive during the Third Ninja World War, he should move from the level of Kage-Low to Kage-high, but even in this case, safety is relative, in the end, in this war fell even such a monster as the Third Raikage.

In the world of ninja, it is impossible to find absolute safety without having power outside of Kaguya....

"Hey, I still have a long and difficult road ahead of me..."
