The one who arrived from behind and stood in front of Might Guy and the other two.
It was a middle-aged man who bore a slight resemblance to a younger Might Guy, and he was also wearing a green jumpsuit.
After arriving at the battlefield, the man let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally made it…" he said.
Behind him, Might Guy looked at the man's back with a mix of excitement and worry: "Father, Father…"
The man who arrived just in time was Konoha's "Eternal Genin," Maito Dai.
Uchiha Ryosuke, observing the battlefield from a tree, wore a meaningful smile.
He hadn't expected to witness this scene here.
If all went as expected, Maito Dai was about to unleash the power of the Eight Gates Formation here.
He would single-handedly fight the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and take down four of them.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, facing a strangely dressed Konoha Genin in a dark green jumpsuit, were completely unconcerned.
Some of them even laughed, looking relaxed.
"A comical fellow has arrived…" said Suikazan Fuguki.
"Counting him, that makes four Genin.
Although your strength isn't enough to interest us, perhaps you can add some fun for us."
Kurosuki Raiga also grinned savagely.
"Let's just deal with them quickly; don't waste time," Munashi Jinpachi reminded him sternly.
At this moment, Maito Dai also made his decision.
He told Might Guy and the other two to flee, while he stayed behind to hold off the seven powerful enemies.
"You're asking for death!"
Seeing that Maito Dai intended to stay alone and block their seven, Kurosuki Raiga finally lost his patience.
He charged at Maito Dai, intending to capture all four Konoha Ninja before Might Guy and his companions could escape.
But just then, Kurosuki Raiga suddenly slammed to a halt.
Because he saw another figure suddenly appear in front of the four Konoha Ninja.
Upon closer inspection, Kurosuki Raiga's pupils contracted slightly again.
Because he had recognized the man in front of him: "It's you, fellow?"
"He's that Uchiha!!" Ameyuri Ringo immediately exclaimed.
As he spoke, two rays of hatred shone in his eyes.
The Uchiha who wounded him with a kunai!
The scar from that hatred and humiliation still throbbed faintly.
The other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also showed cold eyes, staring intently at Uchiha Ryosuke, who had suddenly appeared.
Compared to those minor Konoha Ninja, the man in front of them was clearly their true target.
"Speaking of which, the seven of us were successfully ambushed by this brat due to carelessness… This is a lifelong disgrace," Kuriarare Kushimaru said.
"So, we absolutely cannot let this brat leave now; let's just kill all four of them!
Although there aren't enough for one each, you can have the others besides this brat!"
Biwa Jūzō stared at Uchiha Ryosuke, having already chosen his opponent.
Meanwhile, Maito Dai and the others, protected by Uchiha Ryosuke who had suddenly appeared in front of them, were still a bit bewildered.
"You're an Uchiha Clan Ninja, aren't you? I recognize the clan crest on your back."
"However, you should also retreat with Might Guy and the others, young man."
"This youthful passion should be burned by me."
Maito Dai said to Uchiha Ryosuke in a deep voice.
"Are you willing to let such a powerful Taijutsu you developed vanish before it even had a chance to shine?" Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly chuckled.
This made Maito Dai pause slightly.
A look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
He clearly understood the meaning of Uchiha Ryosuke's words, but he was also very puzzled as to why Uchiha Ryosuke knew about that technique.
Might Guy was equally puzzled, because the secret of the Eight Gates should, for now, only be known by Might Guy and his father, Maito Dai.
The young Might Guy looked at the man in front of him, who appeared to be only a few years older than himself, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Hey, hey, shouldn't your chatting be over now?"
"Seriously, you're completely disregarding us! You're asking for death!!" Biwa Jūzō said angrily, then directly swung his kubikiribōchō and charged at Uchiha Ryosuke.
"I'll start with you! I'll chop off your head with this kubikiribōchō!
It won't hurt much; it'll be over in an instant!!"
As he spoke, he suddenly accelerated again.
The short distance of forty to fifty meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
However, his horizontal slash hit nothing.
The spot where the blade touched was empty; Uchiha Ryosuke had long since vanished.
Seeing this, everyone was moved.
Biwa Jūzō, as the person involved, was even more incredulous.
"Are you looking for me?" Uchiha Ryosuke's voice came from the tree to the right.
"When??" Biwa Jūzō's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly looked up at his opponent.
And in that instant he looked up, a giant fireball suddenly crashed down towards him.
Before the fireball even arrived, the terrifying high temperature brought a skin-stinging power that rushed towards him.
Biwa Jūzō's gaze sharpened again, and his expression changed slightly.
His reaction was not slow; he quickly retreated with a leap.
Maito Dai and Might Guy, after clearly seeing Uchiha Ryosuke's attack, felt a slight sense of relief.
"It seems this young man's strength is greater than I imagined; let's stand further away, Might Guy!"
Maito Dai knew that Uchiha Ryosuke's strength was not inferior to these enemies.
He immediately had the three of them follow him to a greater distance, while closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield and preparing to activate the Eight Gates Formation.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a hundred meters away, now had almost all their attention on Uchiha Ryosuke.
"This brat is indeed not simple; being injured by him last time was not an accident…" Suikazan Fuguki's expression showed seriousness for the first time.
The other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also showed looks of Pay attention to.
And at this moment, the fireball landed, directly blasting a crater over thirty meters in diameter into the ground.
Amidst the "rumbling" explosion, the heatwave from the blazing flames spread in all directions, instantly igniting the nearby vegetation.
But that wasn't all.
Uchiha Ryosuke simultaneously threw five kunai.
Three of them, unsurprisingly, hit Biwa Jūzō, who was less than a hundred meters away.
The remaining two were barely blocked by the fellow with his kubikiribōchō.
"It seems we need to go at him together!" Biwa Jūzō, injured in the blink of an eye, his face greatly changed, quickly shouted to his companions.
"Together, let's take him down!" Kuriarare Kushimaru saw that things were going badly, decisively attacked, and called on the others to siege Uchiha Ryosuke.
