"Konoha Whirlwind!" A ninja in a green bodysuit sent the Hidden Kirigakure Ninja flying with a spinning kick.
Of course, the Kirigakure Ninja used his sword to defend himself, and therefore did not suffer any damage.
"A mere Konoha Genin! How dare he stop us?" Kirigakure said with disdain.
"Congratulations on the compliment! Yes! Among the Konoha Genin, only I, Might Duy, can take on a hundred men single-handedly! The Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf of Konoha! You must remember this well! My name is Might Duy!"
Might Duy couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words; he thought his opponent was encouraging him.
"Looks like you're a fool. No wonder Konoha put you on the battlefield; it seems they wanted to abandon you! Haha!"
"You can't even use Ninjutsu? And you call yourself a ninja? Don't be ridiculous!" The Kirigakure Ninja fought with Might Duy for quite a while and managed to get a general idea of what kind of information he had.
Then, the Kirigakure Ninja, Might Duy wanting to say any more, launched a combined attack on Kirigakure Ninja Might Duy using Ninjutsu.
"It seems we have to use the Eight Inner Gates to break this deadlock," Might Duy then prepared to open the Eight Gates.
Shiyu knew he couldn't wait any longer. If Might Duy opened the Eight Gates, Guy would surely die. Shiyu didn't yet possess the Six Paths power, so he couldn't revive Guy. Even with the Katsuyu's regenerative abilities, it was impossible.
"Dai! Don't rush to attack! I'm here! Earth Release: Earth Wall!" Shiyu appeared beside Dai in a flash and used a Ninjutsu to block the combined Kirigakure attack from Kirigakure for Ninjutsu Might Duy.
Dai is a seasoned ninja and does not need Shiyu's protection. Shiyu only hopes to help Dai defeat Kirigakure.
"You, you're Shiyu? That's great! You're reinforcements!" Dai was also very excited, after all, he knew best how powerful Shiyu was.
"Dai, I know you want to defeat the Kirigakure in front of you and then immediately support Kai."
"But I want to tell you that you don't need to risk your life so much, because I just rescued Kai, and they are safe," Shiyu comforted him. He was afraid that Dai might risk his life to find his child and suddenly unleash some kind of Eight Gates technique.
"I see! Shiyu! It was you who saved them! Thank you so much!"
"Then let's fight the enemy together!" Dai said. In Dai's eyes, Shiyu will always be a friend with whom he can entrust his beliefs. Their relationship is that of teacher and friend, and it can be considered a bond formed over two years together.
"Where are your teammates?" Shiyu asked.
"They all unfortunately perished. After all, the Kirigakure Ninja were serious this time, with several times the number of our ninjas. Our main forces on the eastern and western fronts have been destroyed, leaving only the southern front still holding out." Might Duy shared the information he knew with Shiyu.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason the south hasn't been breached is probably because of Uchiha Shisui. Anyway, I won't get involved in the details; let's focus on the present," Shiyu said.
"Great! Living in the moment! That's wonderful!" Might Duy gave another thumbs up, his teeth gleaming white.
The Kirigakure Ninja were also somewhat angry because Shiyu had ignored them, but Shiyu's appearance undoubtedly took the Kirigakure forces by surprise.
"Has the enemy received reinforcements?"
"One person? That doesn't seem like a rescue operation?"
"Forget whether they're reinforcements or not, annihilate everyone in front of us now!" the Kirigakure leader said, and then his ninjas charged towards Shiyu and Might Duy once again.
"Let's fight together!" Might Duy nodded to Shiyu, their tacit understanding having begun two years ago.
Almost simultaneously, the two exclaimed, "Eight Inner Gates, Sixth Gate! Gate of View open!"
Immediately afterwards, green light burst forth from both of them, and their bodies turned crimson.
"Morning Peacock!" Dai unleashed his Six Gates Secret Technique.
" Towards the Morning Phoenix!" Shiyu also unleashed his unique Six Gates Secret Technique.
The two leaped into the air and launched a series of attacks on the Kirigakure. The Six Gates Secret Technique even sparked in the air as they rubbed together, creating terrifying attacks that formed extremely powerful shockwaves.
One is like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, the other is like a phoenix burning brightly.
Their attacks landed on the Kirigakure Ninja forces like meteors and shooting stars.
After using their ultimate techniques, the two landed among the Kirigakure's people. They showed no mercy to anyone who came forward to die, slaughtering them one by one.
"So strong!"
"This guy? Wasn't he a Genin? How did he suddenly become so strong!?"
"You still dare to say that! This brat, who's not even ten years old, is stronger! We're no match for him!"
The morale of the Kirigakure troops has been severely damaged. If this continues, the Kirigakure force will eventually be wiped out.
"No! We can't let our troops be held back by these two ninjas! Everyone, attack together! Kill them both with all your might! Don't worry about chakra consumption!" the Kirigakure leader immediately ordered.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Kirigakure launched something resembling a signal flare into the air, seemingly initiating a rescue operation.
But Shiyu and Dai didn't care about that at all. They were having a blast and fighting harder and harder, and they even forgot about their fatigue.
However, whether it was Dai or Shiyu, after fighting for a while, all sorts of side effects from the Eight Gates appeared.
"Summoning Technique!" Without pausing, Shiyu summoned the Slug Sage and placed it on his body, activating the Gōketsu Seal to Shiyu heal his damaged body.
Of course, to take care of Dai's health, Shiyu also gave Dai a Katsuyu clone, so that the two of them wouldn't have to worry about the side effects.
Next, naturally, came the nightmare for the Kirigakure Army. The Kirigakure Ninja grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed, while Shiyu and Dai danced around the Kirigakure like two madmen, completely disregarding the consumption of chakra and stamina. After activating the Eight Inner Gates, the two could ignore fatigue.
Using their unbelievably powerful strength, the two unleashed attacks on the Kirigakure Ninja time and time again. It was unclear how long this continued, but the ground around them was already littered with corpses.
Shiyu deactivated his Eight Inner Gates Formation, and so did Dai.
In the end, only one leader of the Kirigakure Sect remained.
"Where's your rescue?" Shiyu asked.
"I... I don't know. Logically speaking, the village's reinforcements should have arrived by now, right?" the leader of the Kirigakure Village said.
"What Shiyu? You know this guy?" Dai was also very surprised, then showed a pained expression and said, "Oh dear, I'm afraid I need to recover."
The Katsuyu could not completely erase the damage caused to Dai by the Eight Inner Gates; of course, Shiyu was an accident.
"I knew it was you? It's been so long! Have you forgotten me?" Shiyu asked with a smile.
