Chapter 174: Might Duy
After finalizing the specific details, the group got up and left Kiyoshi Mitarashi's tent.
Kyosuke, who had walked out of the tent, greeted the others and was preparing to go back and rest. After all, today's battle had been quite tiring.
"Wow, Kyosuke, it's really you."
Suddenly, a surprised cry came from behind him. He looked back and saw a green creature leap out.
The corner of Kyosuke's mouth twitched subconsciously, and then he said with a smile, "Guy, I didn't expect you to be here too."
This green creature was none other than Might Guy, who had been training on the battlefield for a year.
Behind him, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai were also looking at him with a chuckle.
"I never thought we'd meet again here," Kurenai said, her beautiful eyes sizing up Kyosuke, a hint of curiosity on her face.
For a long time, they had heard the name of Body Flicker Kyosuke countless times. But it wasn't until she saw him in person that Kurenai still couldn't believe that this little companion of the same age had grown to this extent.
"Ahem," Asuma, seeing Kurenai's eyes fixed on Kyosuke, felt a sense of unease. He directly stepped forward and blocked her view, and at the same time, he patted Kyosuke's shoulder with force and said with a laugh, "That's right. I never thought it's been so many years since we've seen each other."
"" Kyosuke rolled his eyes helplessly, indicating that he was too lazy to deal with the increasingly mature-looking Asuma.
He looked at the three of them carefully and found that they all had the strength of a chunin or above. He secretly nodded, and then the four of them, who hadn't seen each other for many years, began to chat.
"Hey, did you really kill that Sand ninja Pakura by yourself? That's too exaggerated. Not even Kakashi could have done it."
"Youth! This is youth!!!"
"Alright, Guy, don't shout so loudly. You'll disturb the others' rest."
Kyosuke didn't say much, but just smiled and looked at the three of them, who had all grown in their own ways.
Just then, a larger green creature suddenly walked toward them from a distance.
"Guy!" he first shouted, then turned to look at Kyosuke and said, "Is this the friend you were talking about?"
When Kyosuke heard this shout, his body subconsciously trembled, and then he suddenly turned to look at the newcomer.
"To be able to get so close without me noticing, this person..."
When he saw the newcomer's appearance, a sense of sudden realization came to his mind.
"If it's him, then it's not surprising."
This man was Guy's father, Might Duy, a super powerhouse who could now open the Eight Gates Formation.
"Hello, I'm Guy's friend, Uchiha Kyosuke," Kyosuke said, greeting him politely.
Hearing Kyosuke's respectful words, Might Duy's eyes flickered, and then he replied in his usual passionate style, "Oh, I know you! I'm Guy's father, Might Duy. Please take care of him in the future."
After chatting for a while, Kyosuke finally learned that Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi were not on the main battlefield at this time, but were in charge of logistics and security.
In Kyosuke's opinion, Asuma's status should have played a significant role in this. After all, no one would dare to send the Hokage's son to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
As for Guy, he was with his father, Might Duy, fighting against the Hozuki clan.
In other words, Kyosuke would have a great chance to fight alongside the two of them in the future.
While dealing with the various questions of his three companions, he would occasionally glance at Might Duy.
Speaking of Might Duy, besides the Eight Gates, the only thing he could think of was the crippled Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
In the original story, Might Duy had encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist on the battlefield. Outnumbered, in order to protect his comrades and his own child, he had resolutely chosen to open the Eight Gates Formation, directly kicking the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into the Three Ninja Swordsmen.
Although he would inevitably die afterward, this action had laid the most crucial foundation for Konoha's victory.
Even the heaven-defying kick that Eight Gates Guy would later deliver, which almost kicked out the finale, was not without the exemplary power of Might Duy.
Such a powerhouse, Kyosuke would naturally pay more attention to.
Of course, he also secretly remembered that Might Duy would meet the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist at a certain point in time. If he could detect it in time, he wouldn't mind saving this powerhouse's life.
Soon, the few of them's small talk was over. After all, there was still a battle tomorrow, and a full rest was very necessary.
Kyosuke returned to his tent and asked about Seven's injuries. After getting the answer that he would recover in less than half a month, he smiled with satisfaction and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, the fierce battle began again.
However, the army led by Kyosuke did not join the battle on the third battlefield at the first opportunity, but waited until noon before quietly setting off.
Since they were going to wipe out the enemy this time, they couldn't let their intentions be easily detected. Otherwise, no matter how stupid the Mist ninja were, they probably wouldn't just watch the Kaguya clan go to their deaths.
By the time Kyosuke's army arrived at the third battlefield, they found that the battle had already entered a white-hot stage.
In fact, this was not surprising. With the Kaguya clan's warlike nature, there was no such thing as probing. They just went all out.
The Konoha army had also received instructions last night. They pretended to be outnumbered and fought while retreating, and soon they had lured the enemy to an extremely dangerous position.
Here, if they could suppress the enemy, it would be very difficult for the Kaguya clan to even run. But if the Kaguya clan broke through their defensive line, then the medical unit and even the main camp in the rear would be facing a devastating disaster.
It was precisely because of this temptation that Gen Tetsu Kaguya had almost without a second thought decided to launch a desperate charge, to take this opportunity to directly annihilate the enemy's den.
"Clan Head, the enemy has been completely suppressed by us. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can directly attack Konoha's camp," a ninja whose excited expression had become a bit frenzied roared at Gen Tetsu Kaguya, who was not far ahead.
"Haha, that's right," Gen Tetsu Kaguya said, killing a ninja with his speed. He then waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Kyosuke and the others in the distance. "There is Konoha's main camp. Follow me and charge."
"Yes, sir," countless Kaguya clan ninja shouted.
The few other Mist ninja among them were not so excited, but they did not dare to disobey Gen Tetsu Kaguya's orders as the commander-in-chief, so they could only follow and charge.
"" Kyosuke, in the distance, seeing the enemy actually turn and charge in his direction, was slightly stunned, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"...Since you're looking for death, you can't blame me."
