"This is the first time I've encountered this situation, and I can't guarantee what impact forcibly breaking through from the outside will have on the people inside. If the folded space collapses as a result, and the people inside can't get out in time, do you understand the consequences?"
"Then what should we do? Just wait here?"
Just as everyone was hesitating, Might Guy and Asuma, having finished their bandages, immediately returned with Kurenai.
After understanding the situation, Asuma suddenly asked, "Since that's the case, can we open a gap to let the people inside out, or for us to go in?"
The Barrier Team members thought for a moment and cautiously replied, "It's somewhat feasible, but no one knows the specific outcome."
"That's enough, let's try it! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
At this moment, only Asuma, as the Third Hokage's son, had the authority to make such a decision.
And just as everyone was preparing to forcibly open a gap in the folded space to rescue people, an Anbu member rushed over.
"Where is the Hokage? There's an emergency."
"The Hokage is currently trapped in another space by the enemy, and we are trying to rescue him. What is the emergency?"
The Anbu member hesitated for a moment, but then immediately said, "The residential area in the direction of the Hokage Rock has also been attacked by a powerful curse spirit, and support is needed!"
Asuma and the others' expressions immediately became serious.
This could not possibly be a coincidence!
This means the enemy was likely prepared, and there might be helpers whose true numbers are unknown.
"What's the situation over there now? How much support is needed?"
"The enemy is very powerful. Known abilities include rapid regeneration and an unknown ability to transform people into monsters. They are very difficult to deal with and require a large number of personnel for support!"
"Rapid regeneration?"
"It means that no matter what kind of attack they receive, the enemy can quickly recover, as if they are unkillable."
Asuma pondered, then said, "Kurenai, Might Guy, you two take some people and go."
Against an enemy with powerful regenerative abilities, genjutsu is a good choice.
As for being unkillable, there's only one answer: the attack power is insufficient.
"What about you?"
"I'm going to rescue the old man," Asuma said with determination.
"No, it's too dangerous," Kurenai firmly disagreed.
Just as they were at an impasse, a figure slowly approached from not far away.
"Who's there?"
Everyone became vigilant, watching the approaching person.
"Akagi Shinji, Mist Hidden Mizukage's consultant, and the Third Hokage's collaborator."
Mizukage consultant?
And the Hokage's collaborator?
These two titles were more intimidating than the last.
Most importantly, when these two titles were linked together, it was hard not to spark speculation.
And Shinji wasn't lying; cooperating in business was also a form of collaboration, just not the kind of 'collaboration' these people were thinking of.
"Akagi... Shinji? You were the one who saved us before?"
Asuma seemed to recall something.
Shinji nodded. "It seems there's at least one smart person here. To make a long story short, the method you were just considering won't work. Not only will it not save them, but you'll also get yourselves into trouble."
Asuma frowned. "Reason."
"It's simple. This place can only be entered, not exited. Moreover, once you enter, you lose the ability to resist. Because in that space, all the enemy's attacks are... unavoidable! Do you understand now?"
Everyone's expression instantly changed.
Unavoidable attacks?
Doesn't that mean?!
"Hurry, there's no time."
Asuma was anxious and, in a moment of impulse, wanted to go in and save them, regardless of whether his actions would be effective.
Fortunately, Kurenai was still calm. She hadn't agreed with Asuma's plan from the beginning, and after hearing Shinji's words, she couldn't let Asuma fall into danger as well.
"Kurenai, don't stop me!"
"Asuma, calm down. Since this consultant Akagi Shinji knows so much information and has stepped forward, he must have a solution, right?"
Saying the last part, Kurenai looked directly at Shinji.
She was a meticulous woman.
Shinji smiled at her and did not deny it.
"I do have a way to save them."
He left it at that.
Asuma was about to say something but was stopped by Kurenai. "Speak, what are your conditions?"
"It's very simple. I saved you once before, and now I'm going to help you save people. I'm owed two favors, which is not unreasonable, right?"
As he said this, Shinji looked directly at the stern-faced Might Guy.
Could he admit that he was coveting Might Guy's combat power!
Might Guy's strength needed no explanation. Moreover, Might Guy's character was very upright; he repaid kindness with kindness and even showed respect to enemies who aligned with his values.
It would be a shame not to try and recruit such peak combat power into the Evil God Cult.
As expected, Might Guy readily agreed.
But he also added, "As long as it doesn't violate my ninja spirit or harm the village's interests, even if the enemies are thousands, I will repay this debt."
To receive such a solemn guarantee from Might Guy, this appearance was already worthwhile.
Shinji was very satisfied. He just wondered where that idiot Hidan had run off to, as he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Never mind, let's deal with the main business first.
"What do you plan to do?"
"It's very simple, just like you said earlier: open a gap, go in, and defeat the enemy!"
"But you said..."
"I am immune to the enemy's unavoidable attacks, so only I can go."
Bang!
Shinji punched a "black flash" and blasted open a gap in Cyber's domain.
For most domains, the internal defense is stronger than the external defense. However, even if the domain is destroyed from the outside, the people inside still can't get out and will quickly repair it.
Shinji glanced at the yellow sand inside and, without hesitation, jumped in. At the same time, he used the [Domain Extension] ability to cover himself with a layer of blood mist. This way, he would not be affected by the domain's unavoidable attacks.
However, in this state, he could not use his corresponding innate curse techniques.
But it didn't matter. Besides Blood Manipulation Technique, he had other curse techniques and taijutsu he could use.
If he hadn't wanted to expose his true strength, it wouldn't have been so troublesome; he could have just expanded his domain and clashed with the opponent.
The moment Shinji entered, Asuma also flashed and, before others could react, jumped in as well.
"Asuma!"
Kurenai rushed over, but it was too late. Asuma disappeared, and the opening that had been created also sealed itself.
Might Guy said, "Don't worry. All we can do now is trust them. Besides, we still have our own mission."
