Pure Land, a relatively "calm" battlefield edge.
The higher terrain here seems to be a mountain. The ground is rugged and uneven, scattered with broken Kunai, broken Puppet parts, and several enemy corpses that gradually turned into light spots and disappeared.
The air is still filled with the residual hot breath of "Morning Peacock" and the faint smoke and dust after the impact of "Daytime Tiger".
Might Guy and his father Might Duy, the Taijutsu madman father and son who believe in burning youth and life, have just joined forces to defeat a wave of powerful enemies with the power of thunder.
Kai took a breath and calmed down. His sharp eyes, like those of a beast, did not relax their vigilance, but scanned the entire vast and chaotic "Life-and-Death Shogi" battlefield.
He saw the shattered area in the distance.
The Senju Wood Buddha of Hashirama Senju and the wooden armor Susanoo of Madara Uchiha are like two gods and demons that created the world. Every collision seems to tear Pure Land itself apart.
That was a level of power that was beyond his reach, but it also made his blood boil.
He saw another place, where the young man with blond hair and red eyes named "Taichi" made by Orochimaru seemed to be defeated by Asura, while Uchiha Hikari was in a tough battle and the situation was critical.
He also saw more scattered battlefields. The dead or existing Ninja on the Konoha side were being besieged by the dead "shadows" from various Shinobi Village who were also summoned to the Pure Land side and their elite troops.
Those are his cherished companions, fighting bloody battles and struggling to support him!
Hot blood surged in Kai's chest, and the sense of responsibility and desire to protect burned his heart like Flames.
He turned his head and looked at the tall man next to him who was also steaming with Blue Eyes steam, and whose face was always filled with enthusiasm and an encouraging smile.
His father, Might Duy.
Kai's eyes were brighter and firmer than ever before.
He spoke, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Being able to fight side by side with my father is really my greatest luck."
This is not only a sigh, but also the highest recognition of a son to his father, and the most profound practice of the "youth faith" inherited from his father.
Might Duy Hearing this, his shining white teeth were exposed, and the thumb of his right hand was raised high.
The smile on his face is brighter than any light in Pure Land!
"Ah! Might Guy!"
Dai's voice was loud, full of pride and unabashed love, "You have completely surpassed me, dad, and have become a real man who marches forward bravely and shines brightly on the road of youth!"
Before he finished speaking, he swayed and appeared in front of a Kumogakure Taijutsu Ninja who was trying to sneak attack. With a simple but extremely fast side kick, he directly kicked the opponent away like a cannonball and smashed a huge Rock in the distance!
"Have you surpassed your father?"
This sentence, like a key, opened a dusty but extremely warm treasure box deep in Kai's memory.
He remembered what the boy with blond hair and blue eyes, Naruto Uzumaki, who always had a sunny smile on his face but had been rejected by the village, said to him on his birthday many years ago.
At that time, Naruto was far from becoming a hero who saved the world. He was just a kid with Hokage's dream and working hard to prove himself.
But the light in his eyes was brighter than anyone else's.
"When you are young, you have many choices." The boy's voice, as if across time and space, sounded clearly in Kai's ears, "Isn't true youth just knowing the path you have chosen and then moving forward Earth Flow?"
The boy's tone became increasingly passionate, as if he was fighting against the injustice and indifference of the entire world:
"No matter how heavy the wind and snow on the road is, making it difficult to walk even an inch, we must try our best and burn ourselves Earth Flow to keep going!"
Kai seemed to be able to see that little figure back then, clenching his fists, looking extremely serious at himself, Blue Eyes's eyes seemed to be burning with eternal Flames:
"It's like my dream to be Hokage!"
"Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, and countless people question and ridicule, I will do what you taught me Teacher Guy, burning my youth and moving forward with all my strength towards the position of Hokage!"
The boy's voice finally turned into the firmest and gentlest vow:
"And the ultimate goal of all this is to protect teachers like you who guide me, protect my cherished friends, and protect everyone in the village that I want to protect!"
Memories recede like a tide.
On the real battlefield, the roar is still there, and the sound of killing is loud.
Might Guy, Taijutsu Jonin, who is famous for his optimism, is unable to restrain himself at this moment, letting the hot tears slide down his resolute face like a river bursting its banks!
Those are not tears of sadness, they are tears of extreme touching, extreme pride, and extreme relief!
"Naruto You did it..."
Kai's voice was choked with sobs, but full of unparalleled pride, "You have fulfilled your childhood dream and become Hokage..."
Moreover, it is a very, very excellent Hokage!"
He thought of all that happened after Naruto became Hokage, of the peace and prosperity he led Konoha to, and of everything he had done to protect his companions and Shinobi World.
"Your youth is so wonderful and amazing!"
As a teacher, when I see my cherished disciples not only realize their dreams, but also surpass the dreams themselves and become the sun that lights up the entire Shinobi World, my joy and pride are beyond words!
However, after the pride, there is an even more powerful sense of responsibility and burning fighting spirit!
"But as your teacher, how can I sit back and watch, being far surpassed by my own disciples?"
Kai wiped away his tears violently, and the sadness and emotion in his eyes were instantly replaced by the determination and fighting spirit that soared into the sky, enough to burn everything!
He looked at his companions who were fighting hard in the distance, and at the disciple who was fighting for the future of the entire Shinobi World and who might be playing chess with Sage of Six Paths...
An unprecedented power bursts out from the deepest part of the soul!
"This is the climax of youth!"
Kai's voice, like thunder, resounded throughout the battlefield! The Blue Eyes steam around him began to surge violently and uncontrollably.
It seems as if some terrifying power is about to break out of the body!
"Even if it burns out and turns into white ashes..."
His muscles began to stretch uncontrollably, and the blood vessels under his skin bulged like a horned dragon, emitting a dangerous red light!
"Let my Might Guy youth bloom into the most dazzling Kakkō, illuminate the village, and open up a path for Naruto!"
This is no longer just a battle, this is the sublimation of faith, the final burning of youth, the most ardent protection offered by a teacher to his disciples and the desperate charge to open up a way forward!
Standing next to Kai, Might Duy immediately felt the terrifying and decisive aura on his son's body, which was like a volcano about to erupt, and the look in his eyes was exactly the same as when he decided to turn on Gate of Death to protect him many years ago, even more fiercely.
The smile on Dai's face slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.
He understands that his son is finally going to take that step.
"Kay!"
Dai shouted in a deep voice, his voice full of his father's majesty and teachings, "Do you remember what I said? About Eight Gates Released Formation... self-discipline!"
This was the most important and core warning when he taught Eight Gates Formation.
This is not a power used to show off or kill indiscriminately, but a power of protection.
Might Guy nodded heavily, his eyes clear and firm, without any trace of confusion or hesitation:
"Remember! Dad said that move is the ultimate secret that can only be used when protecting the most important person!"
His gaze swept across every companion in the distance who needed his protection, and finally seemed to penetrate the space and fall on the blond Hokage.
"And now..."
Kai's voice and his father Dai's voice miraculously overlapped, turning into a shocking oath that resounded throughout the Pure Land battlefield!
"This is the time to protect the most important person!"
The father and son crossed their hands in front of their chests at the same time, making a starting gesture to open the final door!
"It is also the climax of youth!!!"
The indescribable horror Chakra, like two Crimson's Fixed Star, erupted from the bodies of Might Guy and Might Duy!
The Blue Eyes steam around them was instantly dyed into Crimson that was as dazzling and violent as magma and blood!
The steam no longer drifts away, but shoots straight into the sky like a blazing flame.
The surrounding space was scorched, distorted and steaming.
That majestic power that makes the soul tremble, that pure Taijutsu Chakra, that burning life and the pressure that transcends Kage Level and touches the legendary realm, unscrupulously declare their existence to the entire "Life-and-Death Shogi" battlefield!
"Eight Gates Released Formation--"
Kai and Dai simultaneously let out the loudest, most decisive, and most brilliant roar in their lives:
"Gate of Death--"
"Open!!!!!!"
The light of Crimson swallowed up everything!
The fire of their youth will bloom on this battlefield that determines the fate of Shinobi World... the brightest and shortest, but one that Eternity will surely remember - the ultimate brilliance!
