"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving today! Stay and atone for what you've done to Konoha!"
Might Guy strode over, green steam beginning to rise around his body.
Earlier, his concern for Raito had kept him from fully unleashing the Eight Gates of Restriction. He had feared that if things fell apart on Raito's end, he would need to save his strength to hold off the First and Second.
But now that the biggest threats had been dealt with by that incredible kid, Guy could finally cut loose.
They had dared to gravely injure Lord Third. That debt had to be settled!
Orochimaru sneered. "You want to keep me here? Might Guy, even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself wouldn't dare make such a boast!"
"Is that so?"
Two masses of cloud suddenly appeared out of thin air, sweeping around from either side like nimble snakes to form a huge encirclement.
Standing on a cloud, Raito slowly descended beside Guy, his gaze fierce.
"Guy-sensei, sorry for the trouble, but keep him pinned down from the front. Leave the sealing to me!"
Guy nodded firmly. Someone who could seal the First and Second would naturally have no trouble sealing Orochimaru as well.
Caught between the two of them, Orochimaru's snake-like pupils narrowed slightly, glinting with an eerie light.
Unexpected. Far too unexpected.
The presence of this Genin brat had become the greatest wild card in today's plan.
A boy capable of sealing Kage-level opponents, alongside Might Guy, a monster of Taijutsu.
It seemed his wish to deliver the final blow to his old mentor would come to nothing today.
Orochimaru sighed with some regret and glanced at his still-bleeding palm.
"It seems you've grasped the situation."
Guy took a fighting stance. "Judging by your expression, you understand your own predicament too!"
"Hmph!"
