Death

"Splurt!"

The black rods pierced Minato's right arm and Might Guy's left shoulder. At once, blood-stained black coral branches sprouted through their entire arms, spreading like budding branches. In the blink of an eye, the wounds covering their arms were enough to cripple them.

As blood sprayed, both men let out muffled groans, their expressions turning grim as an intense sense of danger spread through their bodies.

The black rods' ability to disrupt Chakra prevented Minato from using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away immediately. He could only remain stuck in place like a fish on a chopping block, firmly pinned down by Ye Zi.

Tobirama, pinned to the ground by black rods in the distance, saw this and immediately paled. He wanted to go help, but was powerless to do so. At present, he could not even move his head. The only reason he could see Might Guy and Minato's situation was pure coincidence.

"Damn it!"

He could not even move his head, much less raise a hand and pound the ground in frustration.

"This is the end."

Ye Zi looked coldly at the two men nearby who were still showing signs of struggle. With a movement of his hands, he smashed them into the ground. Two muffled booms rang out as cracks spread through the earth where their bodies struck.

Pain spread across his face, and blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Compared with Minato, Might Guy was barely able to withstand the impact
