The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"The aura emanating from him seems rather strange."

As the leader of the Hidden Mist Army, Fuguki must pay more attention to and analyze the enemy.

But Kurozuki Raiga is different.

The moment Might Guy appeared, Raiga Kurosuki's gaze was fixed on him.

Might Guy noticed Raiga Kurozuki's gaze.

Then, they met his gaze with the same sharp eyes.

It's like some kind of destined mortal enemy.

"Hiruzen, Kirigakure doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack us, as you said. What should we do next? You make the arrangements."

Sarutobi Sasuke looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Father"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the situation before him and quickly began to think.

Given the current situation, it is only natural for the Hidden Mist army to attack Konoha.

There are only two possibilities for why there was no attack.

One option is to have Kumogakure and Iwagakure try it out.

Secondly, they learned about the Impure World Reincarnation.

But this is not possible.

"The Hidden Mist Village is probably waiting for information from the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village. If they don't take the initiative to attack, there's no need for us to take the initiative either. Let's just maintain the status quo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his voice for the next sentence.

"Given our current situation, the chances of gaining an advantage in a real fight with Kirigakure are very slim."

It wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi looked down on his father.

Instead, Tobirama Senju possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique.

Kato Dan possesses the art of spiritification.

Both of these individuals are capable of killing without batting an eye, even without their peak strength.

But Sarutobi Sasuke was just an "ordinary" ninja who used five elemental ninjutsu.

Given Sarutobi Sasuke's current situation, his strength is not even as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen's.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting old, but Sasuke Sarutobi's Edo Tensei was not perfect.

The same goes for Matt Day next to him.

When Might Guy was resurrected using Edo Tensei, Hiruzen Sarutobi questioned him.

Matt Day didn't hesitate and gave it a try.

The Eight Gates Formation is open.

The results came out quickly.

Yes, it is possible to open it. Although it is an Edo Tensei body, it is still a ninjutsu that relies on a living person as a vessel.

It's not just about having soul power.

Various bloodline limits and blood pact summoning techniques activated by blood can be used. When Edo Itachi used Amaterasu, blood even flowed from his eyes, proving that the Edo Tensei body is not just a soul power.

It also has vitality.

Because of its unique nature, many injuries do not cause bleeding and appear to be lifeless.

Since it has vitality and chakra, it can naturally use the Eight Gates technique.

However, many problems exist.

The main problem is that it puts too much strain on the body.

The imperfectly resurrected Mage Dai was far less physically strong than he was in life.

The sixth gate is basically the limit.

And it won't last very long.

Furthermore, the vitality possessed by the reanimated form is still significantly weaker than that of a truly living person.

"Pufferfish Demon, I can't hold back anymore."

Kurozuki Raiga gripped his lightning blade tightly and looked at the pufferfish.

"I want to give it a try, just by myself, so it won't affect the village's plans."

The pufferfish demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Go."

The two armies faced each other, staring at each other in silence, which seemed rather strange.

Since news of the situation in Kumogakure and Iwagakure hasn't come back yet, Fuguki doesn't plan to act rashly. However, sending Kurosuki Raiga up alone might yield some information.

Kurozuki Raiga stepped forward.

He gripped the shaft of the lightning-struck halberd tightly, pointing it towards the Konoha army.

"Matt Dai, get out here!"

Might Guy subconsciously looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He only stood up after seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi nod.

Step by step, they walked towards the direction of Raiga Kurosuki.

When two armies clash, the generals go first.

However, this scene seems quite out of place compared to the conventional meaning of war in the ninja world.

Ninjas are masters of deception.

If I can kill, I don't care what you think.

Sneak attack, trap, encirclement

However, due to the combination of numerous factors and conditions, the current situation has become what it is today.

All eyes were on Raiga Kurosuki and Might Guy.

"Hiruzen, the ninja sword that guy is holding is a Zanpakuto?"

Sarutobi Sasuke sized up Kurosuki Raiga.

"Yes, Father."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained.

"This person is named Raiga Kurosuki. He was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Kirigakure. He wields the Raiga, which is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He was defeated by Dai."

"And it was seven against one, a crushing defeat."

Sarutobi Sasuke frowned.

"He suffered a crushing defeat against seven against one, and he used a ninja sword before. Now he's facing Dai and dares to stand up alone. Is that Zanpakuto really that amazing, giving him so much confidence?"

"Compared to the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, the Zanpakuto is indeed much stronger."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "That Raiga Kurosuki, wielding a lightning blade, once defeated Danzo with a single blow."

"Danzo is not weak."

"Among the elders of Konoha, he is second only to me."

Sarutobi Sasuke's expression turned serious.

Danzo was known to Sarutobi Sasuke.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura became Tobirama Senju's disciples, Sasuke Sarutobi was still alive.

"As for Dai, due to the Impure World Reincarnation, his strength is not as great as it was in life."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't sure if Might Guy could definitely defeat Raiga Kurosuki.

"Eight Gate Dunjia!"

Then I saw a flash of green light.

In an instant, Might Guy arrived in front of Raiga Kurosuki.

"So fast!"

Black Hoshino Raiga's pupils contracted, and he instinctively held up his lightning blade to block it.

"boom!"

A tremendous force descended upon Raiga Kurosuki.

The next moment, Raiga Kurozuki's body was sent flying backward.

Before Raiga Kurosuki could regain his footing, Might Guy had already moved to the position where Raiga Kurosuki was about to arrive, preparing for a second attack.

As the pufferfish demon watched this scene, unpleasant memories surfaced in his mind.

That's what Matt Day did that day.

Its extreme speed made it impossible for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to catch up with it.

Might Guy's attacks, when they landed on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, were all heavy blows.

"But that was before!"

"Not anymore!"

Black hoe, thunderous teeth, golden thunderbolt blade.

"Scream, Lightning Blade!"

"Thunder and Lightning Field!"

A large amount of chakra was poured into the Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Blade, and intense lightning flashed. Lightning overflowed around the Raiga Kurosuki, turning into thread-like shapes.

These threads were entwined around Kurozumi Raiga.
