"You bastard…"
Kakashi clenched his fists, wanting to rush in and stop it, yet he couldn't get anywhere near the core of that world-destroying energy storm.
Not far away, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, staggered back half a step, his aged face turning faintly pale.
He hadn't expected Guy to go this far!
For him—for the so-called "dignity of the Hokage"—he was willing to burn away his last shred of life!
"So this is… what youth looks like when it burns to its absolute limit?"
"No wonder that guy Dai could kick four of the Seven Swordsmen to death with a single blow…"
Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan fluctuated violently. There were no chakra pathways reflected in his vision now—only pure shock.
This power surpassed all common sense!
It even made his soul tremble.
He was certain that even his clan's ancestral Rotation would be utterly unable to block that kick.
There was simply… no comparison at all!
"This is bad… I don't even know if Susanoo can withstand it…"
At the same time, behind Jin, Fugaku frowned so hard his brows nearly twisted together.
His heart was in turmoil.
Although he trusted his second son greatly, Guy's aura was far too terrifying.
This was truly burning everything away!
He was already prepared to summon Susanoo at any moment and place it in front of Jin.
"Huff… huff… the… Eighth Gate…"
Guy's voice was strained, hoarse like sandpaper scraping.
Every word carried the pain of flesh and bone being torn apart.
Yet he still forced the words out:
"The Eighth Gate… of Death…"
"Night—"
Bang!
Crash!
Just as he was about to unleash his final radiance, a golden chain suddenly appeared.
Like a nimble serpent, it stabbed straight into Guy's abdomen!
Clatter—clatter!
Immediately after, a second chain, then a third.
The golden chains showed no hesitation—upon appearing, they plunged directly into Might Guy's abdomen and back,
then swiftly coiled around him.
In the blink of an eye, he was wrapped up like a giant rice dumpling.
Pshk!
Pshk pshk!
As the mysterious runic seals on the Vajra chains activated, the crimson chakra flames that had been raging around him were doused as if by water.
They were extinguished outright—
with no power to resist!
"Hah… hah…"
Guy struggled desperately, trying to break free from the chains' encirclement.
But—
the Vajra chains seemed to possess some kind of magic.
The more he struggled, the tighter they bound him!
"This is—!!"
"This is!!!"
Seeing this, the Third Hokage's pupils shrank sharply.
Memories flooded his mind uncontrollably.
Though he was old, his memory was not poor!
And such powerful, bizarre chains—across his entire ninja career, there was only one existence capable of using them.
"Vajra Sealing?! How does this child know the Uzumaki clan's fūinjutsu?!"
The crimson Mangekyō spinning in Fugaku's eyes vanished instantly, leaving only a trembling gaze behind.
As Jin's father, he had never once seen Jin use this ability!
Yet—
Uzumaki sealing techniques… when did Jin ever learn them?
He couldn't understand it—utterly couldn't.
For a moment, he even felt a daze, as if Jin weren't his child at all.
Of course, that thought vanished as quickly as it appeared.
The one who recognized this technique as well was Kakashi, who had just arrived.
As the "wooden man" once warmed by the Little Sun couple,
Copy Ninja Kakashi knew all too well that such Vajra chains belonged only to his teacher's wife—
that beautiful woman with long orange-red hair.
"Teacher's wife…"
He murmured softly, a tear slipping uncontrollably from the corner of his eye.
"No wonder… no wonder Jin has always looked after Naruto…"
"No wonder he's been dissatisfied with me…"
But then, as another thought struck him, he abruptly wiped away the tear.
His expression turned strange, and an idea burst uncontrollably into his mind:
Could it be—
that Jin is of his teacher's wife's bloodline?
Then what about Teacher Minato…?
Thud.
At that moment, Guy—who had been rampaging arrogantly in midair—could no longer hold on.
Wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he fell straight down into the deep crater below.
Dead silence engulfed the battlefield.
Dust slowly settled.
At the edge of the crater, Jin's small figure stood quietly.
Three chains extended from his abdomen, firmly restraining Guy.
The aura around his body showed only the faintest ripple.
As if he had merely done something trivial.
Drip.
Drip.
As time passed, Jin's eyes gradually brightened.
[Might Guy defeated. Copying trait in progress.]
This time, the copying seemed a bit slower.
But without exception, it could only be—
The Eight Gates!
Now, once he opened the Gate of Opening, he could already liberate his brain.
If he then opened the Gate of Rest, removing fatigue…
Opening two gates in succession would be equivalent to pushing himself into a state of perfect bodily control—
a machine that would fight without rest or death!
Just thinking about it was intoxicating.
Jin sighed deeply, the strange swirling "666" in his pupils slowing at last.
Then he looked down into the crater.
There, Guy—still wrapped like a rice dumpling—had long since lost the blood-red steam around his body.
All that remained was a somewhat charred humanoid outline,
curled up at the center of the crater like a dying candle in the wind.
Might Guy had completely burned himself out.
Even though he hadn't managed to unleash the final strike, the instant he opened the Gate of Death, his internal organs had already suffered catastrophic damage.
If not for being bound by Vajra Sealing,
there would likely be nothing left now but a patch of blackened remains.
"Not sure if the Three Feet Before Me can still…"
Jin fell silent for a moment, his thoughts becoming active.
Then he lifted his leg and walked straight over.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing this, the Third Hokage's face darkened as he hurried toward Jin.
In his heart, Might Guy's status had skyrocketed!
This was a powerhouse whose combat strength could already crush Kage-level opponents!
To let him die here would be far too great a loss.
But just as he reached out to grab Jin, an inexplicable force flung him away.
Whoosh!
Bang!
He rolled dozens of meters across the ground before barely managing to stop.
Once again, the surrounding clan heads were left dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined that the dignified Third Hokage couldn't even withstand a single move?
"Annoying."
Jin waved his hand, as though swatting away a fly.
Only after approaching within three feet did he stop.
He directly activated Three Feet Before Me and the Wood Release cells!
Wumm—wumm—wumm.
Under his control, a pearly silver radiance quickly spread over Guy's body.
Sizzle.
Sizzle sizzle.
The "dying candle" that had nearly gone out actually began to undergo a slow transformation under the silver glow!
Flesh buds sprouted!
New skin spread!
"As expected… after combining with Wood Release cells, the Three Feet Before Me domain also gains healing properties."
Jin's eyes grew even brighter.
Didn't this mean that in the future, he could take on multiple roles at once?
Self-healing, self-sustaining?
Even if he couldn't heal an entire village alone, healing four or five people shouldn't be a problem, right?
Thinking of this, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His anticipation for the ocular power—the small world of Three Feet Before Me—grew even stronger.
Able to tank, able to fight, able to heal!
The only question was—when would it let him fly?
He then raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire field before finally settling on the Third Hokage, whose face was ashen.
His eyes were utterly calm.
"Third Hokage. The fiscal authority."
"Hand it over—or die."
