“Sixth Gate, Gate of View, Open!”
Seeing that opening the Fifth Gate was still insufficient to defeat Winterma, Might Duy hesitated no more and immediately opened the Sixth Gate.
The already fierce momentum escalated to a terrifying level.
The ground beneath Might Duy’s feet seemed to bear enormous pressure, collapsing suddenly and scattering countless shards.
Snap!
At that moment, Might Duy’s body moved abruptly.
The ground beneath his feet suffered another heavy blow, creating a large depression, while his body seemed to vanish into thin air.
Reappearing, he was already in front of Winterma.
This movement speed was significantly faster than before!
Before Winterma could react, Might Duy’s fist had slammed into his chest.
Pfft!
Winterma, struck heavily, spewed a mouthful of blood, and his body shot like a cannonball into the nearby wall, smashing a hole in it.
Thud!
When his body fell to the ground, he barely had any breath left.
Might Duy hurriedly chased through the hole.
He delivered a final blow without any unnecessary words until his opponent was completely defeated.
Releasing the Eight Gates, Might Duy couldn’t help but exhale heavily.
Though his body was far stronger than most ninjas due to years of training, he still couldn’t counteract the side effects of opening the Eight Gates.
Fortunately, it didn’t last long, or his body would have given out.
After stretching his muscles, Might Duy focused on the remaining two battlefields.
Kakashi and Wolf Fang Avalanche were still in a stalemate.
Meanwhile, Tenya had always maintained absolute control, firmly restricting the three Snow Ninjas, preventing them from leaving the battlefield.
Not far away, the Snow Ninja leader Fuyutani, who had been fighting Tenya, grew furious seeing his brother die at Might Duy’s hands.
“Damn it, I’ll kill you!”
Ignoring Tenya’s obstruction, Fuyutani turned to confront Might Duy.
“This path is closed. You can’t leave without my permission!”
Tenya’s body appeared before him like a teleport, showing no intention of yielding.
“In that case, I’ll kill you first!” Fuyutani glared coldly at Tenya, then instructed Mizurei and Ankou, “Prepare, use that technique!”
The three quickly gathered.
Fuyutani at the front, Mizurei and Ankou behind, forming a triangular formation.
They simultaneously formed hand seals.
Soon, peculiar patterns appeared under their feet, flashing intermittently.
“Snow Secret Technique: Snow Giant!”
All three bit their fingers and pressed them onto the ground.
Boom!
With a massive roar, a five-zhang-tall Snow Giant appeared in everyone’s view.
The Snow Giant was so tall that it broke through the palace.
In no time, the entire reception hall was destroyed beyond recognition.
Both Kazahana Sousetsu and Kazahana Dotou hurriedly retreated from the hall.
The battlefield moved to an open area.
Outside, the ground was already covered in snow, with more snowflakes falling from the sky.
In this environment, the Snow Giant had the advantage of both time and place.
The Snow Giant almost all absorbed the falling snowflakes.
With each absorbed snowflake, the Snow Giant’s body solidified further.
Continuing this way, no one could match the Snow Giant.
Tenya noticed this and his face grew serious.
This monster was not easy to deal with!
In such an environment, Fire Release was significantly suppressed unless it was a high-level Fire Release, otherwise, it would be ineffective.
“What should we do now?”
Might Duy approached Tenya, also looking grim.
The monster before them couldn’t be dealt with using conventional means.
Kakashi and Wolf Fang Avalanche’s fight had ended.
Neither could overpower the other.
This left Kakashi deeply frustrated.
The two had called a temporary truce, and Kakashi didn’t pursue further, joining Tenya and Might Duy.
“How do you plan to deal with this monster?”
Kakashi looked at Tenya with a hint of hope.
Facing this monster, Kakashi felt he had no chance of winning.
But Tenya might have a way.
This man had always been a calm and formidable figure in Kakashi’s mind.
Moreover, he knew Tenya’s character.
Tenya would never back down in battle.
He would definitely face the Snow Giant!
Kakashi was certain.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Tenya moved.
“Senior Duy, please make some holes in the Snow Giant. The more, the better.”
“No problem!”
Might Duy nodded and rushed towards the Snow Giant.
“Sixth Gate, Gate of View, Open!”
“Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder, Open!”
Opening the Seventh Gate, Might Duy seemed like a lightning bolt, charging straight at the Snow Giant.
Tenya followed closely, holding several explosive apples.
Boom!
After a fierce collision, a huge cavity appeared in the Snow Giant’s body, its depth unknown.
However, one thing was certain, the cavity was very deep.
Despite opening the Seventh Gate, Might Duy’s punch couldn’t penetrate the Snow Giant’s body.
This showed the monster’s body strength was beyond human.
Tenya seized the moment, stuffing several explosive apples into the cavity.
Then he retreated quickly.
Due to Might Duy’s speed, the Snow Giant couldn’t react.
After dozens of punches, Might Duy didn’t know how many explosive apples Tenya had stuffed into the Snow Giant.
Being continuously attacked, the Snow Giant had no effective countermeasures, frustrating Fuyutani and his team.
They decided to fight back.
“Freezing Wind!”
The Snow Giant waved its hands, freezing the nearby ground.
Standing on it was difficult, let alone moving quickly.
As expected, Might Duy fell the moment he landed, losing his balance.
“Senior Duy, you can step back now. Leave the rest to me.”
“Be careful!”
Might Duy didn’t insist and deactivated the Eight Gates.
Those punches had drained a lot of his energy.
Now, his whole body ached.
He needed to rest and recover to avoid long-term damage.
Tenya stood quietly on the ice.
The slippery surface seemed to not affect him.
He stood as if on solid ground, his movements unaffected.
Though Tenya had stuffed many explosive apples into the Snow Giant, it wasn’t enough to guarantee its destruction.
If he could enhance the firepower, he might destroy the monster.
But it wasn’t enough.
Tenya shook his head with regret.
However, the explosive apples’ power, though not enough to destroy the Snow Giant, could still severely injure it.
He could finish the Snow Giant if he seized the opportunity for a precise strike.
Thinking this, Tenya slowly approached the Snow Giant.
“Kid, you’re courting death, die!”
From within the Snow Giant came Fuyutani’s voice, cold and murderous.
“Ice Punch!”
The Snow Giant raised its fists to strike again.
But this time, Tenya moved first, detonating the explosive apples inside the Snow Giant.
“Explode!”
Boom boom boom…
Immediately, a series of explosions echoed from within the Snow Giant.
The continuous blasts not only damaged its structure but also distorted its movements.
The incomplete Ice Punch technique disintegrated.
Simultaneously, Fuyutani and his team, hidden within the Snow Giant, became visible.
They were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Before they could react, Tenya was already in front of them.
Slash, slash, slash!
Three sword flashes, and they finally realized.
But it was too late.
With Fuyutani and his team’s fall, the Snow Giant, losing its chakra support, collapsed into ice and snow, returning to nature.
Seeing Fuyutani and his team’s demise, Wolf Fang Avalanche, hiding nearby, was terrified.
He chose to flee immediately.
That Konoha leader was terrifying, having destroyed the Snow Giant.
Staying would be suicidal!
“Kakashi, your opponent is fleeing. Aren’t you going to chase him?”
Tenya looked at Kakashi with amusement.
“He has already lost his nerve. Even if I catch him, it wouldn’t be honorable!” Kakashi seemed determined, “Next time we meet, I will definitely defeat him. This time, I’ll let it go!”
“As you wish.”
Seeing Kakashi had no intention of chasing, Tenya didn’t pursue it.
In the original story, Kakashi suffered much at Wolf Fang Avalanche’s hands.
He thought Kakashi would redeem himself this time, but it ended in a draw.
However, this was good, as it might make Kakashi realize his shortcomings.
After this mission, Kakashi would likely train even harder.
