A Three-Person Assault

Fang Xu looked at Might Duy and his son, then took out two short swords.

The hilt of each sword bore clearly engraved Flying Thunder God Coordinates.

"These are for you."

"If you run into danger you can't handle, channel Chakra into the sword."

"I'll sense the change in the Jutsu Formula and come to you at once."

Might Duy's smile slowly faded.

He accepted the sword solemnly with both hands and studied the Flying Thunder God Formula on its hilt.

"You're really giving us something this precious to save our lives?"

"Take it."

Fang Xu handed the other sword to Might Guy.

"Don't get so caught up proving your youth that you forget to call for help."

Might Guy gripped the sword tightly, his eyes reddening.

"Fang Xu!"

"I'll remember this friendship for the rest of my life!"

Might Duy carefully tucked his sword into his Ninja Tool Pouch.

"We won't let you down, no matter what."

Ebisu stared at their Ninja Tool Pouches, unable to hide his envy.

All they had to do was channel Chakra into a sword, and Fang Xu would come to their aid himself.

There could hardly be more than a few such lifesaving gifts in all of Konoha.

Aoba Yamashiro couldn't help taking another look either.

But he and Ebisu weren't close to Fang Xu. They had no reason to expect the same treatment.

Once Might Guy had put away his sword, his fighting spirit blazed.

"I'm going to find Kakashi right now!"

"It's time for a youthful showdown between rivals!"

The words had barely left his mouth before he charged toward the Hatake Residence.

Fang Xu briefly said goodbye to the other three, then headed to the farmland east of Konoha.

Kurenai Yuhi, Uzuki Yugao, and Shizune Kato had been working there
