Mission "The Demise of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen" Completed!

This amount of time was enough for him to deal with Biwa Juzo.

Might Duy nodded, no longer hesitating. With a flash, he darted off in the direction where Biwa Juzo had fled.

Seeing that Might Duy had finally left, Suikazan Fuguki looked at Aragaki Yasushi blocking his path and let out a sigh of relief.

He had seen Aragaki Yasushi's methods earlier, but he hadn't taken them to heart.

In his view, it was nothing more than a strange scroll capable of firing green beams with strong restorative properties.

Nothing to worry about.

His Samehada was best at absorbing chakra.

That green beam would surely be easily absorbed by Samehada.

Therefore, as long as he carefully avoided the Exploding Blade Shibuki in this brat's hands, he was guaranteed to win!

This old geezer actually looks down on me this much?

Aragaki Yasushi noticed the other man's contempt.

But he couldn't be bothered with small talk; he flapped his paper wings and flew straight toward Suikazan Fuguki.

The Energy Scroll activated first, and a green beam whistled out, heading straight for Suikazan Fuguki.

Seeing the green beam, Suikazan Fuguki looked disdainful, not caring in the slightest.

Samehada instantly grew and expanded on its own, forming a thick layer to block in front of him.

Suikazan Fuguki, meanwhile, quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

The next moment, an unexpected scene occurred.

The green beam pierced directly through Samehada, carving a deep gash into it.

Samehada cried out in pain, twisting frantically and looking quite pathetic.

Fortunately, thanks to the brief obstruction by Samehada, Suikazan Fuguki reacted in time and barely managed to dodge, avoiding being struck by the beam that had pierced through the blade.

The piercing power of this ninjutsu is actually this strong!

Suikazan Fuguki felt a jolt of alarm, his expression instantly turning grave.

But his hand seals were already complete; without a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat.

Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!

A massive volume of water surged out like a tsunami, rushing toward Aragaki Yasushi with unstoppable, overwhelming force.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield environment was completely altered, with water waves everywhere.

Seeing this, Aragaki Yasushi immediately flapped his paper wings to fly high into the air, looking down indifferently at the trees being washed away by the waves below.

Making such a huge spectacle—that must have consumed quite a bit of chakra, right?

With Samehada in hand, this old geezer was a "chakra-ton" himself; he could never run out.

Before Aragaki Yasushi could think further, Suikazan Fuguki had already begun forming hand seals again, his movements never stopping.

Water Clone Jutsu!

Three water clones identical to him instantly emerged, all of them rapidly forming seals and lunging toward Aragaki Yasushi in the air.

Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!

Suikazan Fuguki's three clones formed seals simultaneously, and three lifelike water dragons condensed out of thin air, baring their fangs and claws as they shot toward Aragaki Yasushi.

As for Suikazan Fuguki himself, he continued to form seals, the chakra around his body surging wildly as he merged into one with the Samehada in his hand.

The next second, his body underwent a mutation, transforming into a half-fish form, very similar to the fusion state of Kisame Hoshigaki and Samehada in the original story.

However, Suikazan Fuguki was already quite fat, and after the fusion, he looked even more bloated—a literal fat-headed fish monster, ridiculously ugly.

Aragaki Yasushi shifted his body, nimbly dodging the attacks of the three water dragons, and flapped his paper wings, charging straight at Suikazan Fuguki.

Dazzling white light instantly swirled around his eight fists, the power of chakra and the Ox Talisman surging wildly.

Million Ton Punch!

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

As Aragaki Yasushi shouted, he launched his attack, his eight fists raining down like a dense storm of blows upon Suikazan Fuguki.

After merging with Samehada, Suikazan Fuguki could absorb chakra.

But when faced with this kind of pure physical attack, it was completely useless.

Even if he could make intimate contact with Aragaki Yasushi's fists with his face and absorb a tiny bit of chakra, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, Aragaki Yasushi could perform this move entirely using physical stamina.

Is chakra really such an inconvenient thing?

Under the enhancement of the Ox Talisman, every one of his punches carried terrifying power, landing with bone-crushing pain.

Suikazan Fuguki was instantly reduced to a mobile punching bag for Aragaki Yasushi, being frantically devastated without any power to fight back.

Eight fists struck in unison, and in just a short moment, he was beaten beyond recognition, finally reduced to a puddle of flesh.

Samehada, however, possessed tenacious vitality; it was not killed outright and detached itself from the corpse of Suikazan Fuguki.

It rolled onto the ground and curled into a ball, looking absolutely terrified.

At the same time, a system notification suddenly popped up before the eyes of Aragaki Yasushi.

[Mission "The Fall of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen" completed!]

[Reward: Points +1400]

Aragaki Yasushi looked at the system prompt, his heart stirring instantly.

Had Teacher Duy already dealt with Biwa Juzo?

He flapped his paper wings, soared into the high sky, and gazed into the distance.

Sure enough, a green figure was sprinting rapidly toward him—it was Might Duy.

At this moment, Might Duy had already deactivated the Seventh Gate, and the red steam that had surrounded his body had long since vanished.

He carried the Kubikiribōchō on one shoulder and dragged the corpse of Biwa Juzo in the other hand; his steps were somewhat unsteady, yet he remained firm.

Keeping the Kubikiribōchō was easy to understand, and as for keeping the corpse, that was because a ninja's body was a valuable asset from which much intelligence could be interrogated.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were veteran jonin of Kirigakure, and they certainly held many secrets.

Their corpses were of high value; handing them over to the village would be a great contribution.

Might Duy sprinted all the way to Aragaki Yasushi, completely deactivated the Eight Inner Gates, and collapsed, his face pale and his body severely weakened.

He looked at Aragaki Yasushi and said powerlessly, "I... I'm going to sleep for a while."

With that, without waiting for Aragaki Yasushi to respond, his vision went black, and he pitched forward onto the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

"Father!" Seeing this, Might Guy lunged forward like a madman, embracing Might Duy with red-rimmed eyes and a trembling voice.

Aragaki Yasushi walked up slowly, checked Might Duy's condition, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rest assured, it's not a big problem; he won't die."

Although opening the Seventh Gate had caused Might Duy significant harm and serious injury, he would likely just be bedridden for a good while.

But at least he wouldn't lose his life because of it, which was a blessing in disguise.

Moreover, given Might Duy's inhuman physical constitution, he would probably be bouncing around full of life again in half a year.

After all, with his inhuman training intensity, let alone ordinary people, even average ninjas would likely give up after two days, unable to endure it at all.

Looking at it this way, there was no need to use the Horse Talisman to heal him and risk drawing attention.

However, Aragaki Yasushi quickly pulled his attention back.

The most important thing now was the gacha!

1400 points—whether for the limited banner or the permanent banner, it was enough for a ten-pull!

Aragaki Yasushi fell into a dilemma.

Which banner should he pull from?
