Next, instead of looking at Nohara Rin, Munashi Jinpachi turned and slashed towards his left side, forcing Ebisu back as he aimed for his left waist.
"Is this the strength of the Seven-Swords Ninja? If I can survive and return, I must match Guy's training sessions!" Shiranui Genma trembled as he got back on his feet.
Only when facing the Seven-Swords Ninja did Shiranui Genma realize the vast gap between them and Nohara Rin; at least Nohara Rin could hold her own for a while, while they were as easy to handle in front of Munashi Jinpachi as children just learning to walk.
Getting back on his feet, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu charged once more at Munashi Jinpachi.
Bang! Bang!!
Both Shiranui Genma and Ebisu were knocked back, hitting the ground hard.
Munashi Jinpachi once again raised his Great Saber towards Nohara Rin, his blade nearly as tall as Rin herself, and one slash would surely cut her in half, even Tsunade couldn't save her.
ZZZ!!
Just as Munashi Jinpachi's Great Saber was about to fall, a short blade crackling with electricity appeared in front of Munashi Jinpachi.
It was Kakashi's White Fang Short Blade.
After Kakashi judged that even with his assistance Might Duy could not swiftly inflict effective blows on the enemy, he repositioned himself as a rescuer, helping whoever was in danger, since he could act the fastest.
But Kakashi only had one chance to rescue, as he was running low on chakra; if the chakra was enough, he wouldn't need to rescue, he could just cooperate with Might Duy to kill the enemies.
Obito felt a slight relief in his heart but was caught by Suikazan Fuguki due to paying too much attention to Nohara Rin's situation, resulting in injury.
Noticing Obito's struggling situation, Might Guy was anxious but helpless.
Biwa Juzo, Aohire Karei, and Kuriarare Kushimaru were each not simple Jonin; Aohire Karei's Hiramekarei wielded immense destructive power that Might Guy, who hadn't cultivated Armament Aura, could not withstand physically.
Kuriarare Kushimaru's Long Blade Sewing Needle had a peculiar and difficult-to-defend steel wire, losing focus for a moment could cost a chunk of flesh.
Biwa Juzo, although his Decapitating Carving Knife didn't display any obvious special traits, was inherently strong and was the strongest among the three.
Surrounded by these three, Might Guy truly could not break free to assist others, protecting Shisui was already the utmost his current strength allowed.
"Guy, do you remember what I once told you, youth is never-ending, death won't erase youth; dying to protect important things is the peak of youth!" said Might Duy earnestly.
Even though he didn't want to part with Might Guy, it was the moment where he must open the Death Gate.
If he didn't open the Death Gate, with Kakashi and Obito's defeat, the next in danger would be Might Guy.
Only by opening the Death Gate and gaining enough power to crush the opponents could he resolve the current predicament.
"I remember, but you also said that for truly important things, regardless of pain or sorrow, one must strive till the end, protecting with both hands even at the cost of life! To me, Dad, you are also truly important!" yelled Might Guy.
Might Guy clearly understood Might Duy's thoughts and feelings at this moment, and if he could open the Eighth Gate, Might Guy would rather be the one to do so.
Might Guy wanted to protect his father and his teammates, at all costs.
With such resolve, Might Guy's breathing gradually began to change.
Might Duy showed a gratifying smile, as Might Guy had truly grown a lot, both in strength and in other aspects.
"I am happy you have this resolve, but now only by opening the last gate of the Eight Gates can I change the situation." Might Duy prepared to open the final Death Gate.
Might Duy could afford to relay his final words to Might Guy during battle because one had opened seven gates while the other six, yet Kakashi and Obito did not have such a luxury, for the battle had reached its most critical moment.
"No, I still have one Breath of Rock technique." At this moment, Might Guy had a revelation.
