Hokage: Immortal, I Open Unlimited Eight Gates

Chapter 31: Conqueror's Dominance



The Woods Above Hokage Rock

In an open space, bright sunlight shone through the dense leaves, falling on the ground like fine golden sand, forming patches of Madara's colorful light spots.

The afternoon breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if nature was playing a wonderful symphony.

In the middle of the open space, two figures stood next to each other. The air waves picked up the leaves and dust on the ground, wrapping them up.

Boom!

Uchiha Chiba exerted force under her feet, and several cracks appeared on the ground. Then, like a bolt of lightning, she quickly rushed toward Matt Dai.

Bang!

As their fists collided, it was like two cannonballs smashing into each other, causing the hurricane to spread in all directions.

The two continued to fight, and in just a few seconds, they had exchanged dozens of moves.

Might Duy became more and more frightened as he fought. Logically speaking, as an adult, his physical strength should be enough to crush Uchiha Chiba.

Although Uchiha Chiba had opened the fifth gate of Eight Inner Gates , the Gate of Pain, like him, Might Duy found that he did not gain any advantage from this confrontation.

Uchiha Chiba noticed Might Duy was slightly stunned and immediately pressed forward, landing a punch to the middle of his body.

"Brother Dai, losing concentration during battle is not a good habit."

Faced with this powerful attack, Might Duy could only resist hastily.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

After catching Chiba's attack, Duy immediately fought back. He placed his hands on the ground, twisted his body, and turned his legs into windmills to kick Chiba repeatedly.

Seeing this, Chiba did not flinch but kept punching to resist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battle between the two continued.

Since they were only exchanging physical skills, Chiba did not use Armament Haki. Instead, she relied on her physical strength to confront Duy head-on.

Seeing that his moves were ineffective, Duy immediately changed tactics.

"Konoha's Powerful Steel Legs!" Duy roared angrily.

Then he quickly approached Chiba and used an upper kick. Chiba thought to herself after seeing Duy's movements: Is he going to use Ura Renka?

But she wouldn't give Duy that chance.

He also used a whip-leg move.

Bang!

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Duy felt slightly disappointed.

Just as Chiba had guessed, he first knocked him away and then used his own move, Ura Renka.

However, Chiba did not give him a chance to breathe and exploded with all his speed.

Punch, kick — Uchiha Chiba had no special moves. Speed and strength were her greatest weapons.

Speed is power, and strong power can bring faster speed.

After another 200 moves, Duy's breathing became slightly heavier. After fighting for so long, his physical strength was exhausted, and the power behind his fists weakened.

However, what puzzled him was that Chiba's punches remained as strong and powerful as before, as if there had been no consumption at all.

By the way, don't ninjas usually fight quickly and decisively? Which ninja would fight for so long and still have so much energy like Uchiha Chiba?

Duy was already an outlier among ninjas, while Chiba seemed like a monster.

Chiba could only laugh. Serious ninjas must fight for three days and three nights, just like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

Chiba didn't know what Duy was thinking, but he felt that the battle with Duy was completely different from the previous ones.

There were no fancy ninjutsu; it was just fists and physical collisions between men.

His fighting spirit was aroused again.

"Cool," Chiba roared, then attacked again.

Suddenly, Chiba felt that everything around him became quiet, as if time had stopped.

It felt as if he had received an inexplicable attack, and Duy knelt on the ground, covering his head with his hands and roaring softly.

"Chiba, what... was..that?"

Seeing such a familiar scene, Chiba didn't know that this was the awakening of his Conqueror's Haki.

He didn't fully understand how Conqueror's Haki had been awakened during a fight with Duy.

Although ONE PIECE's early statement about Conqueror's is that only one in a million people may awaken it, and this person must have the qualifications of a king, by the time the New World was reached, Conqueror's Haki seemed to have become much more common. While not everyone had it, many powerful pirates did.

By the way, what was his ambition? Hokage? Invincibility in the ninja world? Immortality? Or becoming a king?

Chiba didn't know and didn't want to think about it. Some things can just let nature take its course.

"Brother Duy, I'm sorry. It was my secret technique just now. I accidentally lost control of it."

Chiba couldn't think of a way to explain Haki, so he could only attribute it to secret techniques.

Duy had no doubts about this. The Uchiha were one of the top clans in the ninja world, and it was not surprising that they had some unknown secret techniques.

"Let's stop here for today. Brother Duy, you can't continue fighting in this state."

Uchiha Chiba looked at Duy, who was still kneeling, and spoke.

Then he came to Duy and helped him to the side of a tree to let him rest.

As soon as he sat down, Duy said with a wry smile, "Chiba, I thought you just wanted to compete with me in physical skills?"

In response, Chiba could only smile helplessly. His original plan was indeed to compete with Duy in taijutsu.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and he hadn't expected the awakening of Conqueror's Haki.

Seeing that Chiba's expression was unusual, Duy waved his hand and said it didn't matter, "It doesn't matter, Chiba. Even if you didn't use that secret technique, I would still be the loser in the end."

Uchiha Chiba did not refute. This was indeed the truth. Not to mention her talent in 'Shinigami Curse,' five years of continuous use of 'Overgrowth' had already made his physical strength exceed that of the average adult.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you home later, Brother Duy."

"No, I'll just take a rest. But Chiba, why is your secret technique so similar to the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques?"

Although Duy was only a Genin, he still knew some basic information about the big families in Konoha.

"My secret technique is indeed somewhat similar to that of the Yamanaka clan. They are both Yin Style secret techniques that attack the enemy's spirit."

Chiba was right. Conqueror's Haki was very similar to some Yin Style secret techniques in the ninja world.

However, this was only the most basic application of Conqueror's Haki and couldn't bring out its full power.

To unleash the full power of Conqueror's Haki, it needs to be wrapped around your body or weapon and then released through the air, like Garp's Galaxy Impact, Red-haired Shanks's Avoidance, and Kaido's Thunder Eight Trigrams.

But to reach that level, long practice was required.
