Nagasawa applauded with two claps and praised, "I'm impressed. It seems that you've completely integrated the Six Powers into your Taijutsu."
Might Guy's technique clearly showed traces of Morning Peacock, and there was even a hint of Daytime Tiger.
It both showcased Might Guy's unique style and the characteristics of the Six Powers. Might Guy had provided a perfect answer.
If the perfect mark was 100, Nagasawa would give Guy 100. He knew that Guy wouldn't get ahead of himself because of this success. The path to becoming the strongest wasn't an easy one.
Getting Nagasawa's approval filled Might Guy with excitement. He was overwhelmed with emotion and shouted in joy.
"Guy, you're as spirited as usual," Kakashi smiled. It was true; no matter how much his strength changed, Guy would always be the energetic, cheerful, and hardworking.
Due to the extensive damage Guy had caused to the ground, Kakashi used Earth Release to quickly fill in the large crater, making the ground somewhat level again.
"Who wants to go next?" Nagasawa looked at the remaining three.
The three exchanged glances but none of them volunteered. After Guy's impressive performance, they didn't want to risk looking inferior in comparison.
Finally, Inuzuka Midori bit her lip and stepped forward, muttering, "it seems that this Inuzuka Clan genius have to step in."
She stroked Ashimaru's head and said, "Ashimaru, are you ready? If I don't perform well this time, you won't get a good food back home."
"Woof!" Ashimaru replied with a serious expression. It was time for these humans to see the results of his training.
"Inuzuka Clan's Human Beast Combination Transformation: Werewolf Form!"
Inuzuka Midori used Imitation Human Ninja Art, while Ashimaru used Beast Human Clone, and then they combined, resulting in a brand new Werewolf Form.
After fusing with Ashimaru, Inuzuka Midori's height suddenly increased from 1.57 meters to over 1.8 meters, and her body was covered in gray wolf fur.
Her arms underwent a significant change; not only were they covered in gray fur, but she also got sharp wolf-like claws, and she also grew a fluffy tail.
Her face remained mostly the same aside from her ear that has turned into furry wolf ears.
Inuzuka Midori placed her hands on her hips, laughed heartily, and said, "Haha, are you all shocked by my brand new form? This is the result of improving Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique."
"Howl!" Inuzuka Midori imitated a wolf's howl.
Nagasawa touched his chin. He suddenly had the urge to stroke Midori's furry ears.
"Werewolf Rankyaku!"
Inuzuka Midori used Color of Arms Haki to cover her claw, and then unleashed a series of attacks that resembled Rankyaku with her claw towards the ground.
Boom!
Several claw marks, as if made by giant claws, appeared on the ground.
"Werewolf Shigan!" Inuzuka Midori raised one of her claws, infused it with Lightning Chakra, and thrust it into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tremendous force shattered the ground, sending stones flying in all directions. The impact left a charred mark in the crater.
"Werewolf Geppo..."
"Werewolf Tekkai..."
"Okay, okay, that's enough," Nagasawa interrupted Inuzuka Midori.
He had a rough idea of Inuzuka Midori's progress. She must have spent most of her time improving the Clan's Secret Techniques, while the remaining time was used to create various Advanced Six Powers while in werewolf form. However, Nagasawa realized that some of these techniques were merely for show.
"Hehe, did I pass?" Inuzuka Midori scratched her head with her claw and asked.
"You..." Nagasawa teleported next to Inuzuka Midori and rubbed her furry head.
Well, that felt nice.
"Improving the Clan's secret technique is indeed a good path for you. It suits you better to become a more flexible werewolf than just a stronger wolf. This time, I'm quite impressed," Nagasawa commented.
Inuzuka Midori was overjoyed that she didn't have to endure extra training. She looked forward to rewarding herself with a hearty meal when she got back.
"What about you two?" Nagasawa looked at Kakashi and Ensui.
"I'll go," Ensui spoke up.
He didn't want Kakashi to go first, just in case Kakashi came up with something awesome like Guy did. Although Ensui didn't have a wife and child waiting for him at home, he did not want to undergo Nagasawa's special training.
The prospect of receiving personal guidance from the strongest ninja in Konoha sounded incredibly appealing. However, Ensui knew that Nagasawa tended to hold back a bit when there were more people around. But when it was an individual training, you'd witness a demonic side of Nagasawa.
Nagasawa's personal guidance could be quite intimidating, even for someone as tough as Might Guy.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Ensui formed the hand seals expressionlessly.
After completing the hand seals, the shadow behind Ensui suddenly took on his appearance, and solidified into a tangible entity.
"Isn't this just a regular Shadow Clone?" Inuzuka Midori quipped.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Try using Color of Observation Haki to perceive them."
Inuzuka Midori used Color of Observation Haki and found that the both Ensui and the Shadow Clone had exactly the same aura, making it impossible to distinguish between them.
"It's because it's my shadow, so you can't differentiate them through aura," Ensui explained briefly.
"Is there anymore to it?" Nagasawa asked.
Being unable to distinguish sure sounded impressive, but it seemed like something a regular Shadow Clone could do. If Ensui consumed a significant amount of Chakra, and that was the only thing it could do, it might not be considered satisfactory.
Ensui nodded. Of course, there was more to it.
He proceeded to showcase various impressive maneuvers. For instance, his Shadow Clone could suddenly transform into a large net with Explosive Tags, or unexpectedly link with an enemy, enabling him to control them.
The transformation aspect was taken to the next level, allowing his clone to turn both of its arms into shadow blades, then infusing them with Color of Arms Haki to cut through opponents.
Lastly, Ensui mentioned that he was still researching whether he could switch place with his Shadow Clone to catch his opponents off guard. However, he hadn't made much progress in that area.
Nagasawa was impressed and mentioned that he would provide him with the information about Flying Thunder God Technique, hoping it might spark some inspiration.
