Great Luo Buddha Hand!

"A Tailed Beast Bomb! How is that possible!!!"

Guy's eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

Almost the instant he sensed it, the Tailed Beast Bomb had already formed and launched.

It would arrive in three seconds at most!

Why wasn't it heading for Hokage Rock?!

Why the mountain behind the village?!

Had the Four-Tails' chakra eruption just now drawn it here?

Or had someone deliberately guided it?!

Thoughts flashed through Guy's mind, but he had no time to examine them.

He felt as though all the blood in his body had frozen solid. An unprecedented sense of danger gripped his throat!

The destructive energy contained in that incoming Tailed Beast Bomb far surpassed any attack from the Four-Tails.

If it exploded here, it wouldn't just destroy the mountain behind the village.

Most of northern Konoha would probably be razed to the ground!

Dai, Nonō, the children, the Ninja Turtle Clan, the warrior monks... not a trace would remain of any of them!

With his speed, he could take Dai and a few others away.

But everyone else would die!

"Welcome Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder!!!!"

Guy let out a roar.

He slammed his palms together.

The space behind him abruptly warped.

A towering manifestation of his true self, over twenty meters tall, instantly appeared, its face identical to his and its body radiating compassionate golden light!

Behind the manifestation, countless spectral golden arms extended in a frenzy.

It resembled the thousand-armed Guanyin.

But it wasn't attacking.

Instead, with the greatest possible speed and the gentlest possible force.

It "grabbed" everyone present.

"Guy!"

"Head Monk!"

"Dad Guy!!!"

Cries of surprise rang out.

Everyone felt their bodies grow light as enormous golden palms enveloped them and lifted them up.

As though launched from catapults, they hurtled away from the mountain and out of the
