"Itachi, are you all right?"
Might Guy stood before Uchiha Itachi, assuming a fighting stance.
Uchiha Itachi staggered to his feet. Bloody tears continued to stream from the corners of his eyes, his gaze vacant as everything before him had become a blur.
He could only identify the newcomer by his voice.
"Is that Guy-senpai?"
"Yeah. The Hokage and the others are here too. Don't worry—we'll help you avenge the Uchiha!"
"This..."
Might Guy's words left Uchiha Itachi dazed for a moment. Avenge the Uchiha?
But just as Uchiha Itachi was about to explain, Might Guy had already charged at Naruto.
"You bastard! Not only did you invade Konoha, you even massacred the Uchiha Clan's civilians! I'll never forgive you!"
"Hand over the hostage!"
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
Might Guy spun as he kicked toward Naruto.
Facing Might Guy, who still had no idea what was going on, Naruto felt a headache coming on. Might Guy was an exceptionally straightforward person. Naruto neither liked nor disliked people like that, and besides, training with Might Guy over the past month had been rather enjoyable.
Naruto responded to every move in kind, dodging and blocking as he fought. Mainly because Sasuke was still in his hands.
Might Guy spun nonstop like a top, to the point that even the many Uchiha ninja nearby, who were considering whether to go help, became dizzy from watching him.
"Shisui, should we go help?"
Uchiha Tekka leaned close to Uchiha Shisui and asked cautiously.
After all, Uchiha Shisui was the one who knew this Masked Man best. They had merely encountered Shisui on the road, fighting Root fiercely to protect his clansmen, and had decided to travel together.
Yet Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "No need."
Uchiha Shisui understood Naruto's strength. Perhaps Naruto was taking their past friendship
