"Your monstrous strength is the only power capable of shaking that kind of defense in a short time!"
"The others will fight to the death to hold back those black-clad Ninja and the Uchiha!"
"And the most crucial strike..."
Nara Shikaku's gaze fell upon Kakashi and Might Guy, "will be executed by Kakashi and Might Guy! You two must break through all obstacles and seize Di Yan with the fastest speed!"
"Only by controlling him can Konoha have a glimmer of hope!"
This plan was extremely risky, but it was undoubtedly the only hope for a comeback in their current desperate situation.
Tsunade hesitated for only a moment before nodding heavily.
She could not stand by and watch Konoha, founded by her grandfather Senju Hashirama and protected by her teacher throughout his life, be destroyed in her hands.
This was absolutely intolerable.
A determined glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes: "Alright!"
No sooner said than done!
Tsunade took a deep breath.
The Strength of a Hundred Sealings Technique runes once again spread across her entire body, and a massive amount of Chakra erupted without reservation.
The ground beneath her feet exploded.
She launched herself like a cannonball, carrying with her the terrifying power to shatter mountains and crack stones.
She charged defiantly towards the majestic, blood-red Susanoo!
"Hmph!!"
Boom... Tsunade's fist slammed heavily against Susanoo's defensive wall.
This time, it was no longer a test.
The incredibly sturdy Susanoo barrier actually emitted a grating "crack" sound.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared, centered on the point where her fist landed!
This showed just how terrifying Tsunade's full-power, enraged strike was!
"Wow!"
Uchiha Hikari seemed startled by this immense power.
Her small face paled slightly, and she instinctively exclaimed:
"Big sister, your strength is so great!"
But the Mangekyo in her eye sockets immediately spun even faster, and vast pupil power surged forth.
It quickly repaired the cracks in Susanoo.
At the same time, she controlled Susanoo to swing a fist at Tsunade!
Boom... The two "monster-like" entities instantly engaged in a fierce struggle.
Every collision shook the earth!
"Attack!"
Nara Shikaku roared!
The Konoha Ninja, who had long been prepared, surged forward like a broken dam.
With bloodshot eyes, they charged madly towards the hundred black-clad Ninja and Uchiha Tekka, Izumi, and Mikoto!
"For Konoha!"
"Drive them out of Konoha!"
The battle cries once again echoed to the heavens.
The battle instantly escalated into a white-hot frenzy!
The Konoha Ninja, relying on their numerical advantage, launched a fierce assault regardless of casualties.
They desperately held back all of Di Yan's protective forces!
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Might Guy, like two true flashes of lightning.
Respectively activated their Sharingan and Eight Inner Gates Formation, raising their speed to the extreme.
They cleverly avoided the main battlefield, like two sharp knives.
Stabbing directly towards Di Yan, who seemed temporarily "isolated" because his guards were tied up!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Uchiha Izumi exclaimed, wanting to return to aid him.
But she was desperately held back by several Konoha Jonin.
Uchiha Tekka and Mikoto were also firmly pinned down.
In a flash!
Kakashi and Might Guy had already broken through the last obstacles.
They rushed directly in front of Di Yan!
"It's over! Your Majesty!"
Kakashi's Sharingan locked onto Di Yan, and the Chidori, flickering with lightning, aimed directly at Di Yan's vital points.
His intention was to subdue, not to kill.
Might Guy was even faster.
He circled to the flank, and a sharp taijutsu grappling move reached for Di Yan's arm!
Seeing that Di Yan was about to be instantly subdued by these two top Konoha masters.
A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of all Konoha Ninja!
At the same time, they inexplicably relaxed.
Is it finally over?
However, just as Kakashi's Chidori was about to touch Di Yan, and Might Guy's fingers were about to grasp his wrist.
Di Yan's face showed no trace of panic.
Instead, he revealed an extremely strange, triumphant smile.
His body seemed to sway slightly.
Or perhaps... it didn't move at all.
But the next second, an unexpected change occurred!
Pfft!
A faint thud of a blade piercing flesh was heard!
Kakashi's forward movement suddenly halted.
His face showed an expression of extreme shock and pain.
He looked down in disbelief.
He saw a section of a kunai, glowing faintly, as if it had emerged from thin air.
Without warning, it precisely pierced his abdomen!
And the person holding the hilt... was actually... Might Guy, who was supposed to be subduing Di Yan with him?
"Might Guy... you?"
Kakashi's Sharingan was filled with incomprehensible shock and horror!
At this moment, Might Guy's face was devoid of any expression.
His complexion remained cold, with only the bulging veins around his eye sockets and his cold, ruthless movements.
"Gen... Genjutsu? When?"
Kakashi instantly understood, but the intense pain and Chakra disruption made him almost unable to move!
Di Yan looked at Kakashi, who was so close and severely wounded by "his own man."
The smile on his face grew even brighter and colder.
"Konoha's Blue Beast... truly lives up to his reputation."
Di Yan praised softly, as if admiring a perfect work, "It's just a pity... from the moment you stepped into this plaza, everything about you was under my control."
"Including your so-called... final counterattack."
All the Konoha people showed astonishment.
They watched as their loyal, passionate, and always trustworthy comrade... Might Guy, (abeh) without any warning, in an utterly cold manner.
Cruelly plunged a kunai into Kakashi's abdomen!
"Might Guy? What are you doing!!"
"He's crazy! Might Guy has gone mad!"
"It's genjutsu! It must be genjutsu!"
Gasps and screams instantly erupted.
This sudden betrayal was more chilling and terrifying than any enemy attack!
The severe pain in Kakashi's abdomen was less than a thousandth of the shock and horror in his heart.
Relying on his rich combat experience and the insight of his Sharingan, he barely managed to avoid a vital spot at the last moment.
But his injuries were still extremely severe.
Clutching his wound, he staggered back, looking in disbelief at his former best partner and comrade.
"Might Guy... why? What happened to you?"
Kakashi's voice trembled with pain and shock.
However, what answered him was Might Guy's emotionless, machine-like, cold pursuit!
"Eight Inner Gates Formation · Gate of View, Open!"
Boom!
Green energy vapor erupted from Might Guy's body like an explosion.
The powerful airflow even scattered the surrounding dust.
Under the absolute control of the "Spiritual Contract," he unhesitatingly opened a stronger gate!
The ensuing attacks were as fast as lightning, ruthless and merciless!
"Konoha Gōriki Senpū!"
"Morning Peacock!"
Kicks imbued with terrifying power and fiery fist shadows like a meteor shower.
Mercilessly slammed into the heavily wounded Kakashi.
Kakashi barely managed to block with Chidori and Earth-Style Wall, but his strength was greatly diminished due to his severe injuries.
He was simply unable to withstand Might Guy's full-power assault while the Sixth Gate was open!
Pfft...
