Lion's Roar, Breakthrough!

"Boom!!!"

Guy's berserk figure appeared at the blast site.

The gale kicked up by his landing instantly blew away the lingering smoke and unextinguished flames.

His white eyes locked tightly onto the center of the explosion.

Then he saw a huge black-and-white figure.

Iron-Arm Panda!

Guy's heart eased slightly.

Iron Arm was half-crouched.

Using its broad back and arms, it shielded Ebisu and Genma beneath its body.

But it was in terrible condition!

The protective bracers made of special alloy were severely damaged.

They were covered in cracks and scorch marks.

Its body was also covered in wounds from the blast.

Flesh hung from the wounds.

Blood streamed everywhere.

It was a miserable sight.

Of the two sheltered in its arms, Ebisu looked somewhat better off.

He had merely been rattled senseless, his sunglasses knocked off, with several bloody marks on his face.

But Genma's condition was far worse.

A sharp shard of rock was embedded deep in his lower abdomen.

Blood gushed from the wound, staining his ninja vest red!

"Genma!!"

Guy called out tensely and immediately rushed over.

Hearing him, Ebisu jerked his head up.

The moment he saw Guy, it was as though he had grasped a lifeline. His voice tore with fear and urgency.

"Guy! Save Genma, quickly!!"

Without hesitation, Guy immediately crouched down.

He bit his thumb and slapped one hand onto the ground.

"Summoning Technique!"

"Poof!"

A cloud of white smoke burst forth, and the enormous Katsuyu appeared beside them.

"Split up! Heal all three of them! Prioritize him and it!"

Guy pointed at Genma and Iron-Arm Panda.

Katsuyu immediately split into three portions.

The largest portion wriggled over Iron-Arm Panda's massive body and began secreting healing mucus.

A smaller portion crawled onto Ebisu's body.

The other quickly wrapped itself around Genma's abdominal wound.
