"Divine Extinction."
In the forest, as the last two words of Goenji were uttered, a powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu was completed. A giant flame blade was swung, and everything in its path was annihilated by flames.
Whoosh--!
It was just a swift flash of a knife.
Wherever the fire blade passed, an area of over a hundred meters was plunged into darkness.
Four figures appeared, maintaining a defensive stance with their swords drawn. After a gentle breeze, they slowly turned into black ash, disappearing into the world like other trees, rocks, and other objects.
The ground was completely scorched earth, and the environment was pitch black under the high temperature, with scattered specks of amber color dotting the surface.
Whew~
A panting sound appeared, Goenji watched this scene with a smirk playing on his lips.
This is his new Ninjutsu.
He considers it the coolest Ninjutsu currently available.
When the towering fiery figure rose from his body, Goenji felt incredibly cool. He figured that anyone else would think he looked cool too.
He admired Susanoo back then, so in his spare time he developed this Chakra materialization Ninjutsu just to look cool. Of course, its power is undeniable, as you can tell from the several figures that disappeared.
"In the end, it was just a cool Ninjutsu; the three of them still managed to escape!"
As a ninja, Goenji knew that if he directly appeared to save Might Guy and the others, he would definitely lose a huge advantage, so he only released Shadow Clone Technique to deal with them.
This also allows them to test the strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Meanwhile, the true body observes from the shadows and prepares for this Fire Release: Divine Netherworld Illusory Form.
After all, it's not Susanoo, nor is it Sharingan Dōjutsu, so the casting speed isn't that fast. Goenji still needs to be prepared when facing the elite of the seven Jonin.
It's understandable that they managed to escape.
That's pretty good Ninjutsu; it took down at least four people.
Other Ninjutsu wouldn't be suitable for dealing with these people.
The seven individuals possessed such comprehensive abilities that Goenji had no room to maneuver.
Neither the Sunrise Blade nor any other Fire Release can produce a decisive result.
They might even be killed.
Only this newly developed Ninjutsu has a high attack range and powerful attack force.
For a ninja's fragile body, without special means, being hit is basically a death sentence.
Moreover, he prepared his Ninjutsu in secret, and his attack speed was fast.
"Hmm... Suikazan Fuguki, Biwa Jūzō, Raiga Kurosuki ran away? They're something else..."
When Goenji saw the group disappear, he knew who had run away.
Such a fast attack, and the opponent still managed to escape; truly an elite.
His Sharingan slowly activated. He looked around to make sure they had run away and weren't lying in ambush. Then he sheathed his katana and thought, "That's it."
I walked slowly on the scorched earth.
No weapons left behind by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were found; it seems they were taken away or summoned back.
Goenji was also unaware of the spiritual communication mechanism involved.
Whoosh--!
Just as Goenji was about to return to Konoha, a figure appeared on the scene, accompanied by a gust of wind. He wore a green bodysuit, had a mushroom haircut, and looked at the scene.
My mind is completely blank.
As far as the eye could see, there was only blankness and darkness.
Blank space is a wide expanse of vision, while pitch black is black dust blown up by the gale, covering most of the view.
"This is..."
Especially after seeing that Goenji was completely intact, Might Duy quickly canceled the Eight Gates. With a 'bang,' he collapsed in pain the moment he canceled it.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Even after Might Guy's voice rang out, they were still uneasy and followed behind, especially after seeing that enormous fire giant earlier; it must have been Senior Goenji who unleashed a forbidden technique.
When he saw what was happening before him, he was completely stunned.
Is this the kind of destruction a ninja could accomplish?!
Genma remained calm. After glancing at him, he helped Might Duy up. Seeing his weak state, he realized that Might Guy had used a forbidden technique. He had looked terrifying just now, and now he was so weak.
He remembered the move Kai had used, and then he understood.
It seems his body couldn't take it anymore; now that there's no opponent, he simply can't hold on.
Whoosh--!
Ebisu was also clever; he came to Goenji's side and asked, "Senpai, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine, what could possibly happen to me!" Goenji patted his nostril and laughed.
These guys actually came back. They must have seen the move he used and were worried, so they came back.
Moreover... Goenji's gaze was fixed on Might Duy. He had just used the Eight Gates, hadn't he? His speed was truly impressive.
It actually happened! It seems Might Duy and Might Guy are truly connected by heart; they sense danger as soon as it arises.
"What just happened? Where are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
Ebisu looked around, saw no enemies, and asked in confusion.
"A few died, a few escaped, they were lucky." Goenji smiled calmly, feeling his Chakra gradually recovering.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!
Just then, a group of people dressed in Uchiha police uniforms appeared at the scene and saw the people present and the surrounding environment.
They also saw the fiery giant that had just risen into the sky.
Thinking of the name of Goenji, Firelight.
I knew this must have been Ninjutsu from Goenji.
His gaze towards Goenji grew increasingly respectful. He had originally intended to capture a spy, but now it seemed that the spy wasn't actually one.
I never expected to witness something like this.
That's incredible.
Just by observing, they all felt an overwhelming aura enter their hearts—this was the power of the Uchiha.
How could the Hyuga Clan compare to the Uchiha Clan?
I feel even more proud of my family.
Finally, Goenji led them back to Konoha.
When the report reached the Konoha High Command through the Goenji, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately convened a meeting; this was a major event.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist attacked Konoha.
Danzo reiterated his stance: fight back and wipe out Kirigakure.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, he reiterated that he was the Hokage and rejected Danzo's proposal.
Now is a time for Konoha to recuperate and rebuild. How could Hiruzen Sarutobi possibly start another war? Besides, nothing unexpected has happened in Konoha yet.
However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi Goenji, their gazes were completely different.
Even if the Five Kage were surrounded, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist might not be able to escape, let alone Goenji, who single-handedly took down four of them, which was completely unexpected.
What kind of Ninjutsu could possibly defeat four elite Jonin in one move?
Those are no small fry.
"He's grown up again!"
This is the idea of many high-ranking officials in Konoha.
That's fast! You've improved again in such a short time!
