"You all will die!!!"
Might Duy was like a bloodthirsty, battling wild wolf, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily.
"Hmm~~~"
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist all sensed that something was wrong.
An old man, severely wounded and almost dead, could still unleash such an aura?
"Hehehe, die now———!"
Might Duy panted, still repeating that sentence. Fuguki Suikazan frowned deeply. Was this old man driven mad by the death of his comrades?
But this aura was very strong.
"Eight Gates Formation! Opening Gate, open!!!"
The death of his comrades and the threat to his life gave Might Duy immense stimulation, making him use the Eight Gates Formation without hesitation.
"Boom!!"
The powerful aura startled Fuguki Suikazan, who quickly retreated, exclaiming, "His aura has become even stronger!!!"
With the First Gate open, Might Duy seemed to have recovered quite a bit. His wounds were no longer a burden to him.
But this was just the beginning.
"Rest Gate, open!!!"
With each gate opened, Might Duy's aura grew stronger, continuously soaring.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were astonished, unable to believe that a dying man could still unleash such a final burst.
"Life Gate, open!!!"
When the Third Gate, Life Gate, opened, the seven immediately realized something was seriously wrong.
At this moment, Might Duy's skin turned blood red, and a green energy aura erupted from his body, his power once again surging.
"Kill him!!!"
With each gate opened, Might Duy's aura strengthened. Jūzō Biwa was the first to lose patience and shouted.
They couldn't let this old man continue. Jūzō Biwa felt a deep sense of unease, a premonition of disaster slowly rising in his heart.
"Roar!!!"
"What a powerful aura, this is..."
Rong Lin, who was rapidly approaching the village, heard a roar, looked up at the giant white tiger phantom in the sky, and exclaimed:
"Eight Gates Formation!!!"
"Speed up!! The enemy is ahead!!!"
In all of Konoha, there was only one person who could use the Eight Gates Formation: Might Duy, Guy's father.
Might Duy was just a Genin and wouldn't go to the battlefield. At most, he would join a transport team and be responsible for transporting supplies.
But now, he had opened the Eight Gates Formation all the way to the Seventh Gate of Ecstasy, and even used Hirudora... This meant that Might Duy had encountered an unbeatable enemy and had activated the Eight Gates Formation to fight to the death!
"Boom!!!"
But this was not the end. An even stronger aura erupted, shocking Rong Lin and his two companions. This was the Eighth Gate, Death Gate.
Once opened, there was only one outcome:
Death!
Was it worth opening the Death Gate even against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Rong Lin didn't know. All he could do was constantly speed up, rushing towards the battle site.
"Die!! All of you, die!!!"
At this moment, Might Duy's entire skin was ruptured, unable to withstand the powerful energy impact from opening all Eight Gates. Red energy enveloped him, and with his skin tearing, Might Duy looked like a blood-man, or even a monster.
There wasn't a single bit of intact skin on his entire body, only incredibly terrifying muscles.
"Boom!!!"
The earth trembled, and a powerful shockwave spread in all directions, its power as terrifying as when Rong Lin used Annihilation.
One must know that Rong Lin achieved that feat with the perfect Susanoo and maximized Time Force, while Might Duy, a Genin, accomplished it after opening the Eight Gates.
"Susanoo!!!"
Rong Lin immediately used Susanoo. The giant Susanoo swung its long blade, cutting through the incredibly powerful shockwave. Rong Lin charged straight in, while Hyuga Ritsumori and Uchiha Senshi could only retreat continuously to avoid being caught in the blast.
Both of them were horrified at this moment, unable to believe that someone could unleash such a powerful attack.
Even more terrifying was that Uchiha Rong Lin had charged straight in!!!
"Is it worth it?"
At the center of the explosion, Rong Lin deactivated Susanoo. The powerful Time Force froze the time around him and enveloped Might Duy, who was lying in a huge crater, ensuring Might Duy died instantly.
Several hundred meters deep and several kilometers wide, this was the crater left by Might Duy's final attack after opening the Death Gate. At this moment, black smoke emanated from his body, and he had basically vanished into thin air.
Rong Lin was not a Six Paths Sage, nor was he Naruto Uzumaki, who got a power-up in the final battle. He couldn't save him, and could only watch Might Duy's life drain away through his fingertips.
Several disheveled figures fled quickly. In the deep crater, a few oddly shaped blades were left behind. Other than that, there was nothing.
The difference was that in the original work, Jūzō Biwa, the owner of Kubikiribōchō, did not die at Might Duy's hands. But now, Jūzō Biwa didn't even leave a single hair, only a Kubikiribōchō full of chips. If it weren't made of special materials, the Kubikiribōchō would have turned into dust from Might Duy's attack.
The other few blades weren't much better. Five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist died directly, one more than in the original work, including Jūzō Biwa.
Life continued to drain away. At this moment, Might Duy couldn't even make a sound. All Rong Lin could do was freeze time, slowing down the fading of Might Duy's life force.
Noticing Might Duy's finger twitch slightly, Rong Lin released the control on his right hand.
Might Duy died. Rong Lin quietly watched his life come to an end.
"Sir, how is the situation? Bang bang bang..."
At this moment, Might Duy had become a pile of scraps, his body disintegrating with a slight touch, like withered wood burnt by a great fire.
"Clang!!!"
Rong Lin silently picked up the Kubikiribōchō from the ground, looked at Might Duy's corpse, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I will take care of Guy in the future. He is my comrade. I will also use this blade to end the lives of Hidden Mist Village ninja. You are a hero."
Kneeling down—not many people received such treatment. Besides the Third Hokage and Tsunade, to whom he was indebted, Might Duy was the third.
He deserved such treatment from Rong Lin. In Rong Lin's eyes, he was a hero.
"He is a hero. Please collect his body properly and return to the village quietly. Also, send intelligence to Tsunade and the village that the threat of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist has been lifted."
Rong Lin looked back at Might Duy's corpse.
