On the other side, Karin also encountered the four members of Guy's team. Karin also saw the dog from last night, likely it was the dog that notified the Leaf ninja.
"You are... the woman by Lixing's side during the Chunin Exams, are you here to stop us?" Neji, using his Byakugan, was the first to spot Karin and recognized her instantly.
"So, Xing-jun was talking about you lot. What a coincidence, meeting again. But this time, I'm on a mission."
Having said that, Karin didn't want to reminisce with Neji and the others. She immediately threw a punch and charged forward.
"Konoha Violent Whirlwind!"
Might Guy kicked Karin back. He felt Karin looked familiar but couldn't recall who she was.
"No matter who you are, I won't allow you to attack my precious students!"
After being repelled by Might Guy, Karin shook her arm. "That hurt. Such immense power. This watermelon-headed, thick-browed, sleazy man is a taijutsu expert. Then..."
Karin activated her Mangekyo Sharingan and cast genjutsu on the four present. Neji and the others were shocked, not expecting this woman to possess the Sharingan. They all closed their eyes, but it was too late. Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee all fell unconscious under the genjutsu.
Only Might Guy remained standing. As an opponent who had sparred with Kakashi for years, Might Guy's reaction was far quicker than Neji's. The moment Karin activated her Mangekyo Sharingan, Might Guy averted his gaze from her eyes.
"Sharingan, who are you? The Uchiha clan should have been annihilated that night. Who exactly are you...?"
Before Might Guy could finish his question, Karin clenched her fist and charged. This punch, imbued with powerful chakra, sent Might Guy flying.
"This guy, he actually reacted. He didn't fall for my genjutsu at all. He could see my movements just by watching my feet. Such a formidable taijutsu user." Karin was shocked by Might Guy's strength, having never encountered anyone like him before.
Might Guy was equally astonished. "This young girl has the Sharingan, and her strength is immense, comparable to Lady Tsunade. It seems she has also trained diligently."
However, Might Guy's assumption was completely wrong. Karin had barely trained. Her physical prowess was entirely due to Lixing's optimization of her body, and Lixing often taught her some ninjutsu. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Might Guy then crossed his arms in front of his chest, veins bulging on his face. Karin sensed his aura intensifying and felt he was about to unleash a powerful technique.
"Eight Gates Formation, the fifth Gate of Joy, open!"
Might Guy was extremely proficient with the Eight Gates Formation, able to open up to the fifth gate in one go. Instantly, green steam enveloped Might Guy, and he vanished from Karin's sight.
"Such speed! But my Kagura Shingan is faster than you!" Karin punched backward. Through her Mangekyo Sharingan and Kagura Shingan, Karin could accurately predict Might Guy's movements and strike in advance.
Sensing that the fifth gate was insufficient to defeat Karin, Might Guy opened the sixth gate, the Gate of Limit, during the fight. His speed and power increased severalfold instantly.
...
"Destruction Fist, Sky Style!"
Since Lixing's evolution, the ninjutsu and senjutsu of this world could not harm his body. Thus, Lixing ignored Kakashi's Great Fireball Jutsu and punched forward. Under the immense pressure of his fist, Naruto and Sakura were blasted away, blood oozing from their pores.
In this brief exchange, Kakashi analyzed that Lixing's taijutsu was very strong and he should not engage in close combat.
"Naruto, Sakura, do not engage him in close combat. Maintain a distance battle."
"Raiton, Raigekai!"
Kakashi quickly formed hand seals, and lightning appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, a wolf made of lightning charged at Lixing.
"Destruction Fist, Sky Style!"
"Destruction Fist, Chaotic Style!"
Lixing still chose to ignore Kakashi's ninjutsu. He swung his fists at extreme speed, the friction with the air destroying the surrounding trees in an instant.
"Suiton, Sujinheki!"
"Doton, Doryuheki!"
Kakashi formed more hand seals. Two defensive ninjutsu blocked the pressure of Lixing's punches. However, the residual Doryuheki was battered beyond recognition, and the ground beneath them was left pockmarked.
Just then, Naruto and his shadow clones appeared from the side, holding a giant Rasengan. With this Rasengan, Naruto charged straight at Lixing.
"Oodama Rasengan!"
Lixing merely glanced sideways. This level of power was far from enough. After tanking Naruto's Oodama Rasengan, Lixing raised a leg and lightly kicked Naruto back towards Kakashi.
"This person is very strong, as if he has no weaknesses. If I'm not mistaken, ninjutsu is completely ineffective against him. The Great Fireball, Lightning Wolf, and Oodama Rasengan earlier were all tanked by him without taking any damage. With such an ability, his taijutsu is also that powerful."
"Naruto, are you absolutely sure he's Lady Tsunade's disciple? I doubt even the Legendary Sannin could teach such a student together."
Kakashi, with his rich combat experience, had analyzed Lixing's abilities in this short time. However, his vision was limited. He could never have imagined that Lixing was equivalent to a god in this world, an absolutely invincible existence.
"I'm sure he's Grandma Tsunade's disciple, and he was taught by the Pervy Sage to Grandma Tsunade. Three years ago, he alone defeated Orochimaru and Kabuto. He will only be stronger now." Naruto sternly explained Lixing's power and mentioned his past achievements, astonishing everyone else.
Sakura said in disbelief, "Three years ago? He looks about our age. Is that true? So, he already reached the level of a Sannin at the age of twelve or thirteen?"
"Naruto is right. Three years ago, I did repel Orochimaru and Kabuto, but Orochimaru's hands were sealed, so it doesn't count. Naruto is exaggerating. However, I am confident in dealing with you." Lixing replied with a light smile to Sakura.
"Stop talking. He's stalling for time. I have a jutsu I need to try." Kakashi interrupted Naruto and Sakura's conversation, then covered his left eye, began to gather chakra, and started to prepare his Mangekyo Sharingan's dojutsu, Kamui.
Just then, Chiyo-baasan connected her chakra threads to Lixing's body. Caught off guard, Lixing accidentally punched himself.
"Heh, puppetry? I already said these are just tricks for clowns. Where I come from, there's a type of trick called puppet shows, where they control puppets with strings."
"However, if the strings are connected, it's perfectly reasonable for the puppet to control the puppeteer."
Upon hearing Lixing's words, Chiyo-baasan immediately realized what was happening and was about to sever the chakra threads, but Lixing was faster.
"Too late, old hag!"
Lixing twisted his body, and the Chiyo-baasan opposite him was directly controlled by Lixing to punch towards Naruto and Sakura. Although it was an elderly body, as a ninja, her physical condition was still excellent, so there was no need to worry about her straining her back.
