Aohire Karei's face suddenly changed, realizing that Might Guy was somehow different than before. It was unexpected that Might Guy's strength would increase so much out of nowhere.
Not only could he block his Chakra Light Ball with a Void Palm Slash, but his fully unleashed speed was such that even Kuriarare Kushimaru couldn't react in time.
Suikazan Fuguki noticed Might Guy's sudden exceptional prowess and his face darkened.
It was truly embarrassing for the Seven-Swords Ninja, renowned throughout the Ninja World, to be forced to this extent by a few ten-year-old Konoha ninja.
If word got out, they would probably become the laughingstock of the Hidden Mist, while Kakashi and his team would rise to fame across the Ninja World on their reputation.
"What's up with this green brat, who can injure Kuriarare Kushimaru in a three-against-one?" Munashi Jinpachi's sinister smile vanished, and his expression became grave.
They weren't ordinary Hidden Mist Jonin; they were the Mizukage's direct Seven-Swords Ninja. What gave Might Guy such strength?
"Go help them quickly, I'll handle this brat," Suikazan Fuguki said in a deep voice.
The Konoha ninja here were all mostly injured and weakened, and Suikazan Fuguki was confident he could send them all away by himself.
Munashi Jinpachi nodded and, without wasting any time, rushed towards Might Guy.
"Indeed, Guy is a man you can always trust," Kakashi thought to himself.
Whenever they found themselves in dire straits, Might Guy could always stand up and bear the pressure.
"But can Guy's body handle the power of the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode combined with the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates?" Kakashi was somewhat worried.
Though Kakashi hadn't cultivated the Eight Gates or Breath of Rock, he knew a bit about them, some from fighting Might Guy, and some knowledge gained from Mokgetsu.
After all, Mokgetsu mastered both Eight Gates and Breath of Rock, and naturally didn't hide anything when Kakashi asked.
Opening each gate after the third of the Eight Gates would cause damage to the body to some extent. If the body was strong enough, the damage would be minor, even negligible.
Otherwise, if the body wasn't strong enough, it would cause great harm, and now Might Guy had forcefully opened the Sixth Gate and even entered the Breath of Rock Chakra Mode to further enhance his power. Kakashi was very concerned about Might Guy's body.
"We need to find a way to end this battle quickly," Kakashi thought, gripping his short blade.
The longer they dragged on, the greater the damage to Might Guy. Ending the battle sooner would minimize the injury.
Kakashi looked at Obito. He was injured and had almost no chakra left; he had even deactivated his Sharingan to maintain the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode.
The current state was dire for them, which was a disadvantage but also an opportunity, as the enemy might underestimate them because of it.
Catching Kakashi's gaze, Obito understood Kakashi's intention and gathered the last bit of chakra within himself.
"We must succeed..." Kakashi exhaled deeply.
He wasn't worried about Obito executing his plan; he worried if he could seize the opportunity Obito created.
Because Kakashi's chakra was indeed almost depleted, he didn't know if the remaining chakra could deliver a blow strong enough to kill or heavily injure Suikazan Fuguki.
But Kakashi had no other choice. In their current state, they couldn't engage in a prolonged fight. Kakashi was the only one who had a chance to heavily injure Suikazan Fuguki; they could only make one last stand.
If he failed, they could only pray Might Guy could break through and save them in time.
Facing the approaching Suikazan Fuguki with his blade raised, Obito burned his last bit of chakra, igniting flames all over his body.
"Fire Release: Flame Charge!"
This was one of the most powerful Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu techniques he had mastered, and it was currently the most powerful Fire Release he could use.
Suikazan Fuguki wanted to slice the weakened Obito down with one strike, but Shark Skin sensed the extremely high temperature of the flames enveloping Obito and immediately expressed its resistance.
"Water Release: Water Stream Whip!"
Suikazan Fuguki hesitated and then decided against chopping down the suddenly fiery Obito with Shark Skin. He gathered a large amount of chakra in his palm, forming a water whip.
As the water whip lashed at Obito, who was charging in, the flames on Obito suddenly erupted violently.
Boom!
An explosion rang out, and Obito was blasted away by the impact, crashing to the ground, while Suikazan Fuguki was also caught in the blast.
Suikazan Fuguki was utterly shocked, not expecting Obito to launch such a suicide attack. Even the Hidden Mist Village didn't train ninja for suicide attacks, and Obito didn't look like a member of a Suicide Squad.
What brought Suikazan Fuguki some relief was that the ninja on Kakashi's side basically had no combat strength left, and even with such an unexpected event, it was just a minor setback.
"Thunder Flash · Divine Speed!"
As Kakashi once again pushed his breath to the extreme, he found, to his surprise, that with almost no chakra left, he managed to gather a powerful force.
Yet Kakashi didn't have time to ponder, as this was the last chance Obito could create for him. He couldn't spare a thought to where the power came from or notice the abnormally rapid beating of his own heart.
Swish!
A flash of yellow lightning streaked through, and Suikazan Fuguki instantly felt a dizzy spell. Next, he saw a large headless corpse lying on the ground.
