Night Guy!

Everyone knew the battle was nearing its end. A victor was about to emerge.

Kazan's five punches had physically sealed the Susanoo in midair, leaving it unable to move.

Uchiha Hikari drove it with all her strength, but it did not respond.

Kazan had reached the ground below. He moved so fast that even the Dōjutsu Power of the Mangekyō Sharingan could not track him.

His right fist rested at his waist, his other hand hung at his side, and his blood-red hair whipped about without wind. His pupil-less eyes fixed on Uchiha Hikari above.

"Gather!" Kazan uttered a single word, simple but forceful.

Boom! The ground beneath his feet shattered. Dust surged, crimson steam gathered, and the Chakra within him concentrated.

"Roar!"

A dragon's cry cracked like thunder. Violent blood energy and Chakra formed a dragon's head around Kazan, wrapped in crackling dark-red lightning.

The heavens and earth erupted. Boundless lightning poured down, blotting out everything, while fierce winds swept in every direction.

"How terrifying! He's even stronger than before!"

Minato Namikaze stopped in his tracks. He dared not move closer, afraid Naruto might lose his father the day after he was born.

Ahead of him, lightning towered like a vast wave, and crimson steam took shape.

This strike was destined to shake the heavens and earth. Kazan had drawn out every ounce of his body's potential and gathered it into the punch to come.

"Kazan!"

Might Guy clenched his fists without realizing it. Even from afar, the sight was overwhelming.

"How terrifying!"

Asuma Sarutobi, Asuka Hyuga, Obito, and many others of Kazan's generation were watching.

They had not gone to the front. Even watching from the village, their hearts pounded.

This was the man they had once mocked. Yet he had stayed true to himself, running day after
