Might Guy, reporting for duty!
At that moment, his gaze was as sharp as a wolf's. Blue vapor rose from his entire body, and the aura he unleashed made everyone present change expression.
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately said, "Guy, go back."
"This has nothing to do with you. There's no need for you to get involved."
This was his own revenge. Even if he failed and died, he would accept it.
Might Guy was different!
He couldn't drag Guy into this.
And yet—
Might Guy merely raised a thumbs-up and spoke without hesitation.
"My father told me that the Eight Gates should only be opened to protect others!"
"Kakashi is my most important friend. Even if I have to give up my life, I'll protect him to the very end. That way, even if I die, I'll leave behind proof that a true man once lived!"
"The proud Blue Beast of Konoha, burn—youth!"
Kakashi had a terrible headache.
Looking at Might Guy before him, his eyes softened slightly.
He had once thought his life was nothing but a tragedy. Everyone most important to him had died. But looking back now, he realized he still had one friend.
A friend willing to defy the village higher-ups just to help him!

Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he said, "Kill them. Move!"

They did not understand things like "protection" or "bonds." Danzo's orders were their highest principle, so they naturally charged at the two without hesitation.
Konoha Violent Gale!
Konoha Great Whirlwind!
Youthful Energy Prelude!
With the Seventh Gate's enhancement, Might Guy was terrifyingly powerful.
Before the Root operatives could even form hand seals, any ninjutsu or other methods
