Chapter 39: Kakashi's Journey from Frugality to Extravagance [Part 3]
On Sakura's side, in addition to the people who were desperately stopped by Guy and Kakashi, there were also several Root Ninjas who rushed over. However, Shisui was not someone to be trifled with. Facing these Root Ninjas, he did not dodge at all and easily restrained them with a short knife, not even using a single ninjutsu.
"Behind you..." Suddenly, Shisui, who was entangled with several people in front of him, flickered and forced them back with a knife. Then, he reached for a kunai with his left hand and threw it towards Sakura.
The kunai flew past Sakura's hair and directly shot and killed a Root Ninja who had just popped up from the ground behind her, trying to launch a surprise attack.
"Shisui, don't worry about me. With them, I won't get hurt!" Seeing that Shisui was always defending her instead of taking the initiative to attack, Sakura sighed helplessly and said, "I think you should just kill them directly. If you wait too long, you'll get hurt!"
"Their target is you, and I must ensure your absolute safety!" Shisui remained unmoved. His mission was to protect Sakura, not to kill the enemy. Even if Sakura said more, he would not leave her easily.
Shisui defended the space around Sakura without any leaks. On the other side, Guy, who had already dealt with several people, had opened the Sixth Gate. His body was enveloped in a blue chakra flame, and his speed had once again increased. In just a blink of an eye, he kicked two enemies out, and when they landed on the ground, their necks were completely twisted, and they were obviously dead.
"We don't have to worry about Sakura and the others being affected here. In that case, let's just solve you with one move. Secret Technique: Morning Peacock!" Guy's body jumped high, and his fists kept punching. In just a few seconds, he had already punched out hundreds of punches. The high-speed straight punches and the shock waves produced by rubbing against the air were covered with flames and formed a fan-shaped attack range that covered the ground in front of Guy. All the Root Ninjas who were entangled with Guy were within the attack range of the shock waves. The most critical thing was that Guy's attack speed was too fast, and it was not easy for them to dodge.
"Suiton - Water Wall!" Since they couldn't dodge, several people simultaneously made hand seals, and a stream of water spurted out of their mouths, forming a wall-like barrier in mid-air, covering them all underneath.
The flame shock wave kept hitting the water wall, causing it to shake. However, the seemingly shaky water wall completely withstood the Morning Peacock's attack.
"Hoo...hoo...hoo... Can't the Sixth Gate solve them all at once? This is troublesome!" Guy landed on the ground, panting heavily. He was still young and far from as powerful as he would become later. After using the Sixth Gate once, his body was already under a great burden. The Hachimon Tonkou was very powerful, but it would cause a great burden on the user's body when used. At this moment, Guy's body was already under a great load in the state of the Sixth Gate. If he did not stop using the Hachimon Tonkou in time, he would leave permanent hidden injuries at best, and at worst, there was even a possibility of death.
"There's nothing I can do. Even if I leave hidden injuries in the future, I'll accept it!" Guy gritted his teeth. Even if his body suffered irreversible damage in the future, he would accept it. If he stopped using the Hachimon Tonkou at this time, he would definitely be killed by these Root Ninjas.
The green runes suddenly lit up on Guy's right wrist just as he was preparing to continue fighting with his exhausted body. "Has your body reached its limit and automatically exited the state from earlier?" Some Root Ninjas breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the blue chakra flames on Guy suddenly disappear. The previous state was indeed too dangerous, but now it seemed to be an explosive secret technique that couldn't be sustained.
However, Guy's face was full of surprise. He felt that his body had inexplicably returned to the state it was in at the beginning of the battle. All the problems caused by using Hachimon Tonkou, such as muscle strains, had disappeared. In other words, he could now use the Sixth Gate again. But the following memory made Guy frown. The memories of his recent battle had been forcibly inserted into his brain, and the repeated memories made him feel uncomfortable. However, this feeling was fleeting and did not cause any harm.
"So, this is what Sakura meant. I don't have to worry about injuries. Even if I consume a lot of chakra, it will recover instantly. The roar of youth is almost unstoppable!" Guy's eyes were full of fighting spirit. The biggest drawback of Hachimon Tonkou was that it would cause harm to oneself, but with the runes Sakura gave him, he didn't have to worry about that. Even if he was seriously injured, he could recover instantly. Since that was the case, he would try to break through to a new level!
Guy crossed his arms in front of his chest, and chakra surged crazily inside his body. "The Seventh Gate, Open!" Several Root Ninjas exclaimed in surprise. They thought Guy had no strength left to fight, but the next second, Guy used even stronger power than before.
"This should be an explosive secret technique. Hold him back and don't fight him head-on. As long as we can hold him until he can't take it anymore, we win..." Before this Root Ninja could finish speaking, Guy, who was surrounded by blue flames, had already teleported to the middle of them like a flash. The violent chakra and blue flames of sweat evaporating from Guy's body created immense pressure on these people.
"Daytime Tiger (Hirudora)..." Guy's hands formed a strange seal, compressing the air around him, and then suddenly exploding. The air cannon shaped like a tiger's head centered on Guy enveloped several Root Ninjas around him.
"This is...Daytime Tiger? Guy is really reckless!" Sakura couldn't help but comment when she saw the familiar tiger-headed air cannon. The burden on the body from using Hachimon Tonkou was huge. With Guy's current strength, if he didn't kill the enemy with one blow, he would probably be killed himself after opening the Seventh Gate. But fortunately, he had the time reversal she released on him. After time reversal, all the damage Guy suffered would disappear, so she didn't have to worry too much.
