Shark Skin, like a shark, directly bit into the body of the Hidden Mist Jonin, absorbing the Chakra from his body.
Though unsure of what they were doing, Might Guy certainly couldn't just stand and watch; he immediately charged forward, intending to interrupt the process.
Suddenly, a Chakra Light Ball shot towards Might Guy's path, forcing him to halt his steps.
BOOM!!
The Chakra Light Ball landed on the ground, causing a violent explosion, and the dust and smoke rose at dusk.
Shark Skin injected the absorbed Chakra through the hilt into Suikazan Fuguki's body, stimulating cellular regeneration.
With the help of Shark Skin, the bloody holes on Suikazan Fuguki's body rapidly healed, while the Hidden Mist Jonin, whose Chakra was absorbed, collapsed powerlessly to the ground, as if entirely drained.
Revived, Suikazan Fuguki got up immediately, brandishing Shark Skin to repel the advancing Might Guy, one hand grabbing the Hidden Mist Jonin as he retreated.
"Recovered so quickly," Might Guy remarked in surprise.
Such severe injuries, even if treated with all of Nohara Rin's might, couldn't have healed so fast.
"Damn it, chose the wrong person." Noticing the situation on Might Guy's side, Kakashi's face turned grim.
His expectation was for Might Guy to go all out, killing or defeating one to the point of losing combat ability, making the subsequent battle much easier and with a greater chance of survival.
However, lacking intelligence on the Seven-Swords Ninja, they were unaware of Suikazan Fuguki's means of recovery, rendering Might Guy's Golden Horizon unable to kill the Seven-Swords Ninja, merely incapacitating a Hidden Mist Jonin.
One wrong step led to another, and the scene completely escaped Kakashi's grasp, leaving him without hope for their survival.
Might Guy expended a vast amount of stamina and Chakra to create the current results. Due to Concentrated Breathing and Transparent World, his Chakra and stamina now amounted to less than half, and Obito hadn't achieved anything, at most able to last a few more minutes.
They were already at the end of their strength, while the enemy showed no sign of fatigue; victory was decidedly tilting towards the Hidden Mist side.
Though in dire straits, Kakashi had not given up, calmly countering the joint attack of Kurosuki Raiga and Jinin Akebino.
This wasn't their first time in such peril; when Obito and Might Guy were not yet Official Ninja, they were besieged by the Hidden Cloud Jonin, and at that time Kakashi truly thought they were facing a death scenario, aiming solely for at least one escape.
But Obito and Might Guy personally demonstrated what it meant not to give up and that miracles could happen; Might Guy broke higher Eight Gates, Obito awakened the Sharingan, and ultimately Kakashi came to understand his inner self and joined forces with his teammates to defeat the Hidden Cloud Jonin.
During the Chunin Examination, they were exhausted both mentally and physically from a battle with the Kisame Squad and encountered Hidden Mist Jonin infiltrating the Forest of Death.
At that time, everyone's stamina and Chakra reached their limits, yet the enemy was a fully energized strong Jonin.
A battle between exhausted Genin and Jonin, even an ordinary person could easily guess the result, but in that seemingly unbreakable deadlock, Kakashi comprehended the Transparent World and instantly killed the Hidden Mist Jonin.
Persisting might not guarantee survival, but giving up certainly meant death; Kakashi would protect his companions until his last ounce of strength was exhausted.
Might Guy chose not to pursue Suikazan Fuguki as Shisui was severely injured, aiming to bring Shisui to receive treatment from Nohara Rin.
Kuriarare Kushimaru launched an attack immediately, not daring to attack rashly alone, as Suikazan Fuguki's severe injury had just occurred and Kuriarare Kushimaru didn't have Shark Skin for treatment.
Aohire Karei came over to help; with Kurosuki Raiga and Jinin Akebino defeating Kakashi being a matter of time, Aohire Karei sought to assist Kuriarare Kushimaru in taking out the most dangerous Might Guy.
Might Guy had to abandon the idea of bringing Shisui for treatment, arduously handling the combined attack of the two, to prevent them from causing Shisui further injury.
Might Guy glanced with his peripheral vision towards Obito's direction; heading directly was impossible, only instinctively shifting the battlefield closer in that direction.
No less than Obito wanted Nohara Rin to heal Shisui, as the initiative in their battle wasn't in their hands, and all they could do was minimize their injuries.
"Seems I'll have to become the Green Beast," Might Guy took a deep breath, his eyes turning resolute as he sought to forcibly open the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates.
Currently, he hadn't been using the Five Gates for even a month; even if successful in entering the Sixth Gate, it would greatly harm his body, due to the position of the gate, potentially causing irreversible internal injuries.
But the situation was critical, and Might Guy keenly understood now wasn't the time to consider the consequences; what the team needed now was immense fighting prowess, and consequences were a matter for survival later.
Moreover, whether the Sixth Gate could reverse the situation was uncertain, so there was no need to overthink.
"Eight Gates, Sixth Gate, View Gate, open!"
With a shout full of youthful vitality, a green figure appeared on the battlefield, using a Tornado Kick to push back the enemies in front of Might Guy.
Might Guy looked at the familiar green figure before him, his face full of astonishment, failing to open the Sixth Gate due to the surprise.
"Really encountered a formidable foe, huh," Might Duy sighed, observing the plight of Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others.
