"Sorry! I'm late!"
"Guy! How are you?!"
Minato Namikaze appeared beside Guy in an instant, crouching down anxiously and helping him up.
"I'm fine... Lord Fourth, what happened to you?!"
Guy steadied himself, his pale pupils suddenly contracting.
He saw that Minato Namikaze's abdomen had been torn open by some sharp weapon.

The price would be Minato Namikaze's life!
"I can't let him do this!"
Guy made his decision at once. He
