Madara Uchiha Suddenly Arrives

"Caught up!"

At that moment, Rono finally caught up with the Konoha group!

"Damn it! Guy, get Lady Tsunade out of here!"

"We'll hold him off!"

Shikaku Nara stepped in front of Rono!

"Shikaku, don't be ridiculous!"

"Lord Jiraiya said you're the backbone of Konoha."

"How could I let you throw your lives away?"

With that, Guy handed the sixty-year-old Tsunade, whom he had been carrying on his shoulder, over to Shikaku Nara.

Then Guy looked at the leaders of Ino-Shika-Cho before him, along with the heads of the Inuzuka, Aburame, and other major clans.

"Go on. I'll stay and hold him off!"

"Don't forget, I'm Konoha's Blue Beast!"

Guy gave them a thumbs-up, flashed his white teeth, and showed his trademark confident smile!

He still had one trump card: the eighth gate!

Once he opened all Eight Gates, he would gain tremendous power!

Guy was even confident that, with all Eight Gates open, he could defeat Rono outright!

But once he opened them, he would die as soon as his strength ran out.

So unless he had no other choice, Guy would never open the eighth gate of the Eight Gates: the Gate of Death.

Now, though, he had no other choice. Otherwise, the Konoha group would be wiped out!

"Guy!"

Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi, and the other clan leaders looked at Guy, deeply moved.

This farewell might be their last!

"Don't worry. I'll send you all down there to join him."

Rono chuckled, then unleashed a terrifying pressure!

Just then.

Rono abruptly stopped. He sensed that Nagato was sending him thought waves through the Phantom Body Technique!

The waves came in rapid succession. Something urgent must have happened.

"Phantom Body Technique!"

Rono withdrew his killing intent and activated the Phantom Body Technique.

"Leader, you're finally here!"
