It is possible that the Uchiha Clan had once campaigned against Might Guy's ancestors during the Warring States Period.
Might Guy's ancestor unleashed the Eight Gates Formation, emitting red steam that beat the Uchiha Clan like stray dogs, sending them fleeing in panic.
Madara had heard descriptions of the Gate of Death of the Eight Gates from his elders!
The cat was a Shinobi Cat of the Uchiha Clan; it had heard of the fame of the Eight Gates during the Warring States Period, and it was a great pity that the lineage of the Eight Gates would be severed in this generation.
Ryou sat on the cat's back with his arms crossed, watching Might Guy's figure without making a move to save him.
Because he did not owe Might Guy any favors; it was Might Guy and Might Duy who owed him.
Wait, since Might Guy owed him a favor, if Might Guy died, wouldn't all the gifts he had taken to the Maito household during holidays all these years have been in vain?
"Wait, Satori—"
Ryou only just realized this now, but it was already too late.
At the critical moment, a low, guttural roar came from the bottom of the river.
"Eight Gates— Open!"
There's another expert?!
Immediately, with a loud boom, the river water was blasted apart by steam resembling a blue storm, and a blue figure stomped through the air, shooting toward the sky.
He was so fast that even the Sharingan and Byakugan could not track his movements; the air was compressed at high speed, emitting a shrill whistle, and large swathes of river water flew a dozen meters into the air.
The blue steam dragged out a long trail of light, quickly catching up to Satori, and threw a punch.
The violent chakra and airflow were instantly compressed, and that figure of blue steam struck out as a giant phantom of a white tiger.
Could Might Duy use Daytime Tiger? Weren't the techniques of the Eight Gates all created by Might Guy himself?
No—
The original work and official databooks never stated that Might Guy created air-based taijutsu techniques like Morning Peacock and Daytime Tiger.
The descriptions of Morning Peacock and Daytime Tiger only focused on their power, without specifically saying they were self-created by Might Guy.
In fact, the air-based taijutsu of the Eight Gates is a system.
Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, Night Guy.
They represent the four periods of a day; this is a complete system.
It's a very simple logic: how could Might Guy have created Evening Elephant and Night Guy?
These two techniques can only be performed after opening the Gate of Death; opening the Gate of Death means death, so where would there be time to create techniques?
Might Duy had high hopes for Might Guy, so he named Might Guy after the "Guy" in Night Guy, the most powerful technique of the Gate of Death of the Eight Gates.
He hoped that Might Guy could burn with his own youth!
Ryou was greatly shocked, realizing who the expert was.
"Might Duy?!"
At this moment, the mask on Might Duy's face could no longer conceal his features; the air pressure erupted from the Gate of Wonder had torn Might Duy's mask to shreds.
So, the Shinobi from the Shinobi Allied Forces who had just engaged Satori was Might Duy.
Ryou finally understood; only Might Duy, who knew no Ninjutsu, would be so unreliable, charging in and surprising everyone right from the start.
"Dad..."
Might Guy half-opened his eyes, looking at Might Duy, who had rushed out to protect him, with an expression full of pain.
Just like back then, just like when the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist had surrounded Might Guy, Ebisu, and Genma.
The moment when youth burns the most intensely is when one is protecting what is most important to them.
For Might Guy, the most important things to him were his comrades, so after seeing Kurenai, Shizune, and the others captured by Satori.
Might Guy had lifted his self-imposed constraints, transcending himself to save his comrades.
Might Guy treated those who once mocked him this way, but would anyone do the same for him?
Yes!
That would be Might Duy, who loved Might Guy unconditionally!
To Might Duy, Might Guy was his most precious treasure.
The moment he burned the most intensely was when he opened the Eight Gates Formation to fight the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist.
But fighting was not his reason; protecting his own son was Might Duy's Nindo.
Now, Might Duy could once again protect his Nindo.
"Daytime Tiger!!"
"Roar—"
Satori: "(⊙﹏⊙)."
Is there no end to this? Is there no end to this?!
Satori felt that he was truly unlucky today.
He had intended to come to the Shinobi Allied Forces to "fry some fish," to properly release the killing intent accumulated in his body and relieve the frustration of being taken advantage of by Ryou.
But these thick-browed people seemed to have a grudge against him, charging at him one after another.
"Enough, you ants should just lie obediently on the ground!"
Satori condensed red chakra spheres in both his feet, attacking toward the Daytime Tiger.
"Roar—"
The white tiger phantom's eyes were ferocious, its giant mouth wide open, emitting a roar that shook the heavens and the earth; this was not a beast's roar, but the thunderous sound of air being forcibly compressed and torn apart.
Daytime Tiger was a shockwave-style attack, while Satori's chakra sphere was an explosive-style attack; once the two made contact, Satori's chakra sphere was swallowed whole by the Daytime Tiger.
The Daytime Tiger, carrying the explosive impact of Satori's chakra sphere, struck toward Satori.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Satori was dumbfounded to see his own chakra sphere, comparable to a small Biju Bomb, being carried over by the Daytime Tiger.
At this moment, Satori could not read Might Duy's thoughts, but whether he could or not no longer mattered.
This kind of attack could not be neutralized just by reading it!
The Daytime Tiger unleashed a world-destroying shockwave, shattering the airflow, as if a Category 12 typhoon had erupted in the sky.
The entire space seemed to have been crushed by this giant tiger, its power like a tsunami crashing down or a mountain collapsing.
Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.
Uchiha Fugaku, Yashiro, Shisui, Sasori...
The battle between the Uchiha Clan and Sasori was completely cast aside, as they had all been drawn in by the Daytime Tiger that Might Duy had unleashed.
Ryou could no longer continue to act deep and composed.
"Might Duy? Orochimaru actually summoned Might Duy? Where did he get Might Duy's bodily tissues?"
After Might Duy opened the Eight Gates Formation in the Third Great Shinobi War, his body was completely carbonized; logically, all his body tissues should have been burned to ashes.
How did Orochimaru manage to summon Might Duy?
Ryou's eyes were full of confusion.
Black and White Zetsu were also surprised by Might Duy.
White Zetsu was not surprised at all: "It's Edo Tensei; the Shinobi Allied Forces still used the Second Hokage's Forbidden Jutsu."
The self-righteous concealment of the Shinobi Allied Forces could not hide from Madara's White Zetsu intelligence network at all.
Madara relied on White Zetsu to weave an underground intelligence network that spanned the entire Shinobi World.
Tobirama had just developed Edo Tensei in the morning, and by noon, Madara had obtained the hand seals for this jutsu.
Madara knew about Edo Tensei and had even long since inquired about the hand seals for Edo Tensei, having developed countermeasures.
Therefore, White Zetsu was not surprised that the dead could be resurrected when seeing the Edo Tensei Might Duy.
Madara had long anticipated that Konoha might act out of desperation, disturbing the peace of the dead and summoning them to deal with him.
The fact that he could sense Hashirama was proof.
Madara was not afraid; on the contrary, he felt that not killing Orochimaru back then was the right choice—he had been "frying fish" for too long, killing nothing but bots.
He hoped the system could match him with some real players!
What surprised White Zetsu was that Orochimaru had actually resurrected Might Duy.
White Zetsu's intelligence network spanned the Shinobi World, so he naturally knew about Might Duy, the pure taijutsu Shinobi who had mastered the Eight Gates.
Might Duy would be a threat to Madara after opening the Eight Gates Formation, but Might Duy had carbonized after opening the Gate of Death.
His body had turned into charred carbon and then into ash; how could he still be resurrected by Edo Tensei?
