It was obvious without even guessing that the shout came from Might Guy.

Might Guy is now emitting large amounts of blood-red steam!

Yichen's heart skipped a beat—no, his heart was pounding wildly! He was in trouble!

Yichen was the fastest to react among everyone.

He quickly used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to elevate his body, while the small Porcelain Platform carrying Sakura and the others also rose at top speed.

Along with Sakura's platform, two other platforms, one large and one small, also quickly ascended into the air.

The person on the smaller Porcelain Platform is Neji, who is currently beating up Hyuga Hiashi.

The larger one features Susanoo, who had Sokai Susanoo.

Neji and Sokai were already standing on the huge Porcelain Platform created by Yichen, so Yichen only needed to separate the platform beneath their feet from the rest of the structure to send them into the air.

Susanoo very large, so this platform is the slowest.

However, Yichen dared not let Sokai disband Susanoo to speed things up. On the contrary, Yichen shouted for him to strengthen Susanoo.

Because he had been fighting Might Guy Sokai along, he was the person closest to Might Guy.

If Might Guy's Eight Gates stabilize, Sokai will likely be his first target.

At the same time, Yichen separated the Porcelain Platform beneath Might Guy's feet from the original massive platform.

Furthermore, Yichen controlled this Porcelain Platform, quickly sending Might Guy to Shinno, the closest of the four people who were slaughtering Konoha ninja.

The remaining Porcelain Release on the massive Porcelain Platform were quickly gathered by Yichen between Might Guy and Sokai.

As for Hyuga Hiashi and Shibi Aburame, who were originally still on the Porcelain Platform, Yichen couldn't care less about them at this moment.

Yichen saw that after Might Guy opened the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, he actually glanced at him first.

At that glance, Yichen was startled, and he immediately formed One-handed Hand Seals: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The next moment, more than a dozen Yichen appeared in the air!

However, it was only at first glance. It's estimated that Might Guy's first target was himself, but he changed his mind in the end.

Yichen was right. Might Guy wanted to kill Yichen the most, and even if he could only kill Yichen before he died, he would still think it was worth it.

However, he wasn't confident. Yichen had too many tricks up his sleeve, whether it was Light Release or Gravity Ninjutsu, none of which Might Guy was sure he could kill.

So Might Guy turned and charged toward Shinno.

Although Sokai the closest, he has Susanoo on him and a large number of Porcelain Release in front of him. Yichen will definitely provide support, so killing Sokai in one strike may not be enough.

Therefore, Shinno was the second closest, became Might Guy's target.

Shinno had also heard Might Guy's shout and witnessed Yichen's overreaction.

However, it's just the Eight Inner Gates; it doesn't even have the Body Activation Forbidden Jutsu. What's there to worry about?

How many hits can Might Guy land after opening the Gate of Death? Does he really think he can kill someone in just a few blows?

Just as Shinno was thinking this, he noticed Might Guy charging towards him.

Shinno had also opened the Gate of Death, refused to believe in evil and went to meet it head-on.

But it was so fast, too fast!

Shinno didn't even have time to launch a counterattack before Might Guy rushed in front of him.

Bang!

Might Guy didn't pay much attention to Shinno, only giving him one blow before Might Guy into the air.

The air Kazekaze are very close, so it's worth going there.

Boom~

Boom~

Two more sounds in quick succession!

Sora and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki collapsed to the ground, their Tailed Beast Chakra dissipating in the blink of an eye.

In the hall, Sunagakure leader Baki also witnessed the scene just now; he had heard of the power of the Eight Inner Gates.

The excessive reaction of Yichen, the Fox of Stone, also confirmed the danger of this Forbidden Technique.

So even as Might Guy charged towards Shinno, Baki quickly stood up and shouted at Gaara, "Illusionary Technique!"

Although Gaara was somewhat puzzled after hearing this, he still took Gaara's words to heart, as Baki was both his teacher and the current leader of Sunagakure.

Most importantly, the fearful urgency in Baki's voice made Gaara's heart tighten as well.

So he immediately closed his eyes.

Gaara didn't use any Illusionary Technique; he was genuinely asleep.

The two large dark circles under his eyes were still quite effective; he had been fighting against Shukaku for a long time, and his mind was always exhausted.

So he fell asleep as soon as he gave up resisting Shukaku's mental suppression.

The next moment, without Gaara's suppression, the enormous One-Tails Shukaku appeared on the field.

Its massive size crushed countless houses and a large number of Konoha ninja.

Finally free, Shukaku looked up to the sky and let out a roar of liberation.

Then, Peng~

Might Guy's fourth shot was awarded to it.

It's clear that Might Guy's every strike had a different force.

His attack on the air was slightly weaker than the Kazekaze's, since those two were only Partial Tailed Beast Transformation Jinchuriki.

Especially the wind, who is one of Konoha's own people. Although it's unclear why he lost control, Might Guy didn't kill him.

His power to defeat Shukaku was many times greater.

An attack far exceeding Kage Level directly turned Shukaku's massive body into sand.

Shukaku, having just gained its freedom, only managed to let out a roar before being instantly destroyed.

It had absolutely no idea what had just happened.

Inside the Sealed Space within Gaara, a bewildered Shukaku looked left and right, not understanding why he had returned.

And what about the Chakra he just released? Shukaku felt like he had shrunk, he had lost weight!

Large amounts of yellow sand fell rapidly from Shukaku's body, quickly revealing Gaara sleeping soundly in the middle.

Yichen had already led the people of Iwagakure to high altitudes, but his Mind's Eye was constantly observing below.

Mind's Eye tells Yichen Might Guy, who has already killed Jinchuriki with four attacks, has not yet reached his limit.

This time, Might Guy didn't waste any time looking at Yichen.

He turned and charged at Orochimaru.

Besides Yichen, there are currently Two Battlefields in Konoha: one is the Reanimated Body summoned by Danzo, and the other is Orochimaru.

The Reanimated Body is too far away, and although Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead, Mito Uzumaki is still alive.

More importantly, the battlefield was far from Konoha and would not cause any damage to the Konoha.

Orochimaru, however, continued to direct the two Reanimated Body in their battle against Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha was considered one of their own, which is why Might Guy gave his last breath to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru naturally saw Might Guy unleash his power, but he didn't expect that after delivering four attacks, Might Guy would still have energy left.

He quickly brought Fugaku Uchiha was piloting a Gundam, to his front, and at the same time, he formed hand Hand Seals and unleashed his strongest Defensive Ninjutsu: Five Layer Rashōmon.

Yichen, watching from the air, frowned. Orochimaru had actually managed to use the Five Layer Rashōmon.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom~

Might Guy unleashed a kick that shattered the Five Layer Rashōmon and also destroyed Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo.

Only then did Yichen sense that Might Guy's aura had weakened somewhat, but he should still have the strength to strike again.

As expected, Might Guy didn't linger long after defeating Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo; the next moment, he charged towards Orochimaru.

Peng~

Might Guy was kicked in the abdomen by Orochimaru, and his whole body was sent flying like a cannonball.

Upon seeing this, Yichen immediately using Mind's Eye to sense Might Guy again. Sure enough, Might Guy had no power left at this time, and in Yichen's perception, he seemed to have become an empty shell.

The next moment, Might Guy's last spark of life went out, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Only then did Yichen breathe a sigh of relief.

Without a doubt, Might Guy's six attacks just now were not his strongest attacks.

He can combine the power of all six attacks and unleash it. Even if he can't deliver the kick he used against Madara Uchiha in the original story, the power won't be much weaker.

Yichen pondered for a long time and felt that if Might Guy split his attacks into six, he would have a chance to survive with the power of those six attacks.

But if all six attacks were combined into one, Yichen felt it was risky!

Thankfully, I managed to scrape together so many gifts for Konoha, otherwise Might Guy might have given me the chance to trade one for one.

The five people Might Guy struck were all accomplices that Yichen had directly or indirectly Danzo.

Yichen felt it was worth it to exchange these five people for Eight Gates Kai!

Might Guy's burst of power was swift and brief; before most people even realized what had happened, Might Guy had already collapsed, his life force depleted.

Even those few people like Yichen, who could accurately grasp the changing situation in Konoha with Might Guy's first attack, were still in shock.

Kakashi didn't react until Shinno, who had been beaten half to death by Might Guy, made a slight movement.

Taking advantage of Yichen's still high in the sky, he quickly made his move, using a Wood Release to firmly bind Shinno.

Shinno was severely injured by Might Guy, an injury that cannot be healed in a short time.

He can't even perform normal actions now, let alone fight.

As for the Zero Tail inside his body, it's currently having its Chakra extracted by Kakashi's Wood Release, so it's useless.

After subduing Shinno, Kakashi used the Flying Thunder God to reach Feng's side.

The False Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Ku, is dead, and all the Nine-Tails Chakra within him has dissipated.

However, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Kaze, didn't die, but his injuries are quite severe, making it impossible for him to fight again.

After Kakashi checked Kaze's condition, he had the Barrier Team completely seal the Seven-Tails inside Kaze.

Kakashi dared not let the wind participate in the battle again until he figured out why the storm had left.

Kakashi hadn't gone to Gaara's side yet, and Baki was even more anxious than him.

Baki charged at Might Guy while Orochimaru was still attacking Gaara.

Baki picked up the sleeping Gaara, called out to Temari and the others, and then ran out of Konoha.

Kakashi didn't pursue it; Gaara's matter was a diplomatic issue, and Kakashi simply didn't have time to deal with it right now.

Itachi Uchiha was currently curled up on the ground, covering his eyes; his Susanoo long since dissipated.

Even Itachi Uchiha himself finds it incredible that he has managed to persevere until now.

Even more incredibly, Itachi Uchiha felt that his eyes were still functional and that he had not gone blind.

Jiraiya and Fugaku Uchiha, Jiraiya were originally fighting Itachi Uchiha, are now standing still.

It's probably because Orochimaru wasn't controlling it.

Kakashi had the bodies of Itachi Uchiha and Might Guy brought to his side before turning his gaze back to Yichen in the air.

Kakashi was about to say something to Yichen to end this chaotic situation.

But at that moment, a figure burst out of the ground and rushed towards one of the people.

The man tried to dodge, but with a broken leg, he had no chance and was quickly grabbed by the neck.

The person who was attacked was none other than Hyuga Hiashi, whose leg had been severed by Neji's forty-meter-long cleaver.

Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan remained open, but he hadn't noticed anyone approaching him beforehand.

Hyuga Hiashi saw the face of the person who had ambushed him, and opened his mouth to say: Akira Hyuga?

But his neck was being tightly strangled, and he couldn't make a sound.

The one supporting Akira Hyuga's body was naturally Orochimaru. Orochimaru reached out and grabbed Hyuga Hiashi's tongue, which was sticking out because his mouth was wide open.

Then a small snake darted out from the sleeve of his hand that was holding his tongue and bit down on Hyuga Hiashi's tongue.

In the distance, Kakashi's gaze sharpened upon seeing this scene. He knew what Orochimaru was about to do, and then quickly Hand Seals, activating the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on Hyuga Hiashi.

However, to Kakashi's dismay, Hyuga Hiashi unharmed.

Orochimaru broke the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on Hyuga Hiashi in the blink of an eye.

Then, as soon as he stepped on the ground, a giant snake emerged from it, opened its mouth, and swallowed Hyuga Hiashi and Orochimaru whole.

As soon as the giant serpent swallowed the two of them, it immediately dispelled its summoning and took them back to Ryūchi Cave.

Orochimaru's series of actions were too fast; neither Yichen nor Kakashi could react in time.

Suddenly, another figure emerged from the ground and leaped onto the roof of a house.

It quickly picked up a human leg from the roof; it was Hyuga Hiashi's leg.

This person was entirely white; he was White Zetsu clone who had come to Konoha with Orochimaru.

After picking up the leg, the White Zetsu clone was about to jump off the roof and escape.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and the scene instantly changed.

"Genjutsu?" This was the only thought in the White Zetsu clone's mind before it was captured.

It wasn't Yichen cast the Genjutsu, but Kakashi.

Taking advantage of the moment when the White Zetsu clone grabbed Hyuga Hiashi's thigh and looked around, Kakashi used his Sharingan Genjutsu the White Zetsu clone from a distance.

When Yichen saw the White Zetsu clone come to pick up Hyuga Hiashi's leg, he remembered that Orochimaru needed the complete Hyuga Hiashi to perform the Living Corpse Reincarnation.

Taking advantage of the moment when the White Zetsu clone was caught in Kakashi's Genjutsu, he waved his hand and pulled Hyuga Hiashi's leg to his side.

Kakashi quickly arrived at the White Zetsu clone 'White Zetsu clone side, first severing its right hand with a single stroke, before handing it over to the Barrier Team White Zetsu clone sealing.

Yichen watched the White Zetsu clone being sealed by the Konoha ninja, he wondered: How did Orochimaru manage to dodge Might Guy's final attack?

Logically speaking, even if Orochimaru was able to survive Might Guy's attack thanks to his special body, he shouldn't have been completely unharmed.

Is the Snake Substitution Jutsu really that abnormal? Yichen expressed his doubts.

What Yichen didn't know was that Orochimaru had made preparations before Might Guy launched his attack.

Orochimaru witnessed this scene when he used Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan to foresee the future.

This scene sent chills down Orochimaru's spine.

Therefore, Orochimaru stopped attacking Itachi Uchiha and instead secretly made preparations.

The Might Guy that Orochimaru finally struck was just a special physical clone.

Orochimaru not only fooled Might Guy, but also Yichen, who had been using Mind's Eye to monitor the entire Konoha Yichen.

Orochimaru is very good at seizing opportunities; the moment he chose to create a clone was the exact instant Might Guy unleashed the Gate of Death.

Because at that moment, Yichen's mind was entirely focused on Might Guy.

Orochimaru felt that if Yichen discovered his little trick, given Yichen's personality, he might guide Might Guy in the right direction for attack.

Unable to understand how Orochimaru did it, Yichen stopped worrying about it.

Yichen surveyed Konoha. With the unleashing of the Eight Gates by Guy, the Konoha Collapse Plan had ended in failure.

Yichen didn't say much. He coughed a few more times, signaling to Kanako.

After receiving the signal, Kanako's right hand, hidden in her sleeve, Hand Seals once more.

This time, she detonated all the Exploding Tag on Danzo's Danzo, on Shinno's body, and inside the Sky Ninja Sky Fortress.

Boom boom boom!

The three explosions occurred simultaneously, and the massive number of Exploding Tag caused the ground in Konoha to shake.

Near Danzo, there were many Konoha ninja who were dealing with the bodies of Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

These Konoha ninja were naturally engulfed by the explosion before they could even react.

Danzo had the most Exploding Tag on him, and this explosion was the largest. The shockwave from the massive blast even knocked down the nearby Konoha city wall.

Dozens of Konoha ninja also collapsed along with the city wall.

Shinno was surrounded by Konoha's Sealing Ninja, who were still dealing with the Zero Tail seal on Shinno.

As a result, these people, along with Shinno and Zero Tail, were engulfed by the explosion.

The last location is the Sky Fortress. The Exploding Tag in the Sky Fortress were not placed by Shinno, but by Yichen, who secretly infiltrated the fortress and placed them himself before the Konoha Collapse Plan.

With the explosion of the Exploding Tag inside the Sky Fortress, the entire Sky Fortress lost its ability to fly and crashed to the ground.

The Exploding Tag inside the Sky Fortress didn't kill many people, but the crashing of the Sky Fortress crushed many Konoha ninja to death.

Konoha has gained an absolute advantage over the Sky Ninja, so there are Konoha ninja everywhere in this area.

In that single blow, at least several hundred people from Konoha were crushed to death by the massive Sky Fortress.

Furthermore, since the Sky Fortress was located directly above Konoha, the impact caused countless buildings to be destroyed.

Kakashi was also startled by the sudden explosion. After realizing what had happened, he clapped his hands together, and a Wood Dragon rushed towards Yichen.

It's obvious without even guessing that Yichen did this.

Danzo is dead, Shinno wouldn't be foolish enough to blow himself up, and Orochimaru has returned to Ryūchi Cave. So who else could it be but Yichen?

Based on the current explosion, it can be inferred that the inexplicable explosion at the very beginning of the Konoha Collapse Plan was probably also caused by Yichen.

With an innocent expression, Yichen quickly formed Hand Seals and used several Light Release to defeat the Wood Dragon.

After Kakashi used a Wood Release, he calmed down and coldly said to Yichen, "Tsuchikage, the Joint Chunin Exams are over. Tsuchikage, please return."

Yichen laughed and said, "Of course, of course."

"I am also heartbroken by the misfortune that has befallen Konoha. Well then, as a guest, I cannot do nothing."

"This Reanimated Body was created by Orochimaru, so I'll deal with it."

As they were talking, Yichen had already used Porcelain Release to wrap up the motionless Edo Reanimated Body of Fugaku Uchiha.

Kakashi's lips twitched a few times, but he didn't stop her; he just stared coldly at Yichen.

Yichen grinned, sealed Fugaku Uchiha with Soul Seal, and then left Konoha with his disciples.

Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief after Yichen had flown far away.

Only now has the chaos in Konoha come to an end.

Kakashi took a deep breath before forcing himself to focus on dealing with the post-war situation.

First, Kakashi said to Kisame, who had lost an arm, "Mizukage, there were reasons for what happened before, I'm truly sorry."

As he spoke, Kakashi took out the right arm he had just severed from White Zetsu clone and said to Kisame, "Mizukage, our Konoha has mastered an Arm Transplant Technology."

"This severed arm can be transplanted onto the Mizukage."

Kisame glanced at the White Zetsu's right arm in Kakashi's hand, then at Kakashi's left arm, and nodded.

He had heard before that Kakashi had received a special left arm transplant.

Furthermore, the Mist ninja Intelligence Department speculated that Kakashi and Danzo's Wood Release might have originated from this white monster.

Most importantly, the difference between Kisame with one arm and Kisame with two arms is enormous.

The loss of Samehada has already greatly weakened Kisame's strength. If he cannot transplant a right arm as soon as possible, Kisame will have to consider abdicating when he returns to Kirigakure.

However, since his arm was severed due to Kakashi's unauthorized departure, he wouldn't be satisfied with just transplanting a right arm.

Kisame said to Kakashi, "Hokage, I need the training method for the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu, as well as all your experimental data!"

Kakashi paused, hesitating slightly.

He wasn't afraid of the Forbidden Technique being leaked; the Impure World Reincarnation had already been leaked long ago.

Kakashi's main concern was that the Mist ninja's strength would increase rapidly after being Impure World Reincarnation, which would widen the gap between the two sides again.

Because the Impure World Reincarnation provides the least benefit to Konoha.

The First Hokage and Second Hokage of Konoha were both Reanimated Body controlled by Orochimaru. If Konoha wanted to summon these two Hokage in the future, they would have to compete with Orochimaru for their lives.

Kakashi was unaware that the Second Hokage's soul had been imprisoned by Yichen.

Kakashi knew that the Third, Fourth, and Sixth Hokage could not be Impure World Reincarnation technique because of the Reaper Death Seal.

The Fifth Tsunade, is not dead yet.

Therefore, although Konoha has had the most Hokage throughout history, Kakashi was unable to Impure World Reincarnation any of them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Konoha can only Impure World Reincarnation some non- Hokage Kage-level experts, such as Mito Uzumaki and White Fang.

However, the Mist ninja can directly Impure World Reincarnation all the Mizukage from the First Mizukage to the Fourth Mizukage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

This will undoubtedly further widen the gap in strength between the two sides.

Furthermore, in today 'First Shinobi War, Konoha lost two Kage-level Combatant, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Might Guy, bringing their strength to an all-time low.

In future interactions between Konoha and Mist ninja, Konoha will have even less say.

However, looking at Kisame's grinning face, Kakashi knew he couldn't refuse.

Kakashi nodded silently.

Kisame was very satisfied with Kakashi's attitude. Only then did he turn around and follow the Medical Ninja from Konoha to have his right arm transplanted.
