Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Disappointed, Kushimaru Kurihara pulled out his long sword, Sewing Needle: "This is so boring, the game is over so quickly."

Muli Jinpachi also drew his beloved sword, Fei Mo: "They're still alive!"

"Let's be careful not to kill them all at once, and have some fun."

Both Kushimaru Kurihara and Jinpachi Murashi were ruthless and cold-blooded ninjas, notorious trash among the Hidden Mist ninjas.

They had a nickname, "The Cold-Blooded Duo," which speaks volumes about their ruthlessness.

Overwhelmed by the murderous aura emanating from the two men, Ebisu's body trembled violently, and he collapsed onto the muddy ground, his legs giving way.

Genma sneered, "Didn't we already know? What's the big deal?"

He scoffed, but took a step forward, blocking Ebisu's path. He secretly reached into his clothes and touched the edge of the explosive tag.

Kai didn't speak, but also stood in front of Ebisu.

The sight of his two teammates' not-so-broad backs gave Ebisu a tremendous sense of security.

An indescribable courage erupted from the bottom of his heart. His legs were no longer weak. He took out his kunai, stood up, and rearranged himself into a triangular defensive formation.

"I didn't expect the Konoha genin brats to be so brave?" said Juzo Biwa.

"Knowing who we are, you still dare to continue fighting."

"Has our deterrent power diminished?"

His decapitation sword was stuck in the ground, and he leaned against the blade, looking at the Konoha ninja with no desire to fight.

Tongcao Yeren coldly replied, "What's the difference? In the end, isn't it all the same—death?"

He didn't plan to make a move, lest he compete with the cold-blooded duo for the prey and cause an internal war among the Seven.

Kurozuki Raiga sat on the boulder and said with a laugh, "Hehe, you two perverts shouldn't play around for too long, I still need to hold a funeral for them."

"Oh, if I can survive to the very end, I'll thank you."

This guy had no desire to rob; he only wanted to have three living people hold a funeral.

Kushimaru Kurihara laughed and said, "Since everyone is being so polite, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Which one should we start killing?"

He sized up Kai and the other two, his voice muffled beneath the mask, but his bloodthirsty killing intent was undiminished.

"Hey, I never said I was going to give them to you. I want all three of these kids."

As Wu Li Shenba spoke, he swung his explosive blade and threw it at Kai.

"Damn it, you stole my prey!"

Kurihara Kushimaru wasn't about to give in, so he raised his sewing needle and launched an attack, vying with Mureshi Jinpachi for it.

The two Jonin launched an attack, forming a pincer movement, easily defeating Might Guy and Genma, and were about to kill them.

In despair, Genma placed his hand on the explosive tag, gathering his last bit of chakra, preparing to detonate it before he died, taking his enemy with him.

Just then, a loud shout rang out from the woods.

"Konoha Power Cyclone!"

A green figure darted over and kicked Kushimaru and Jinpachi away.

"Who is it?"

"Who is it?"

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were shocked and furious, because the newcomers were so fast that they didn't even have time to react before the cold-blooded duo were kicked away.

Honestly, if they were attacked by this person, they would probably be kicked away as well.

Thinking of this, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's faces darkened, almost dripping with water.

The visitor was none other than Matt Day!

The destined nemesis of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

If the seven of them were to look up at this moment, they might just see their own Death Star!

Matt Day drove all the way here with six view gates open.

The prolonged state of the Eight Gates caused his skin to become congested with blood, and the veins on his face to bulge. The chakra that erupted from his body transformed into bright green chakra flames that burned fiercely around him.

Seeing Dai standing in front of him, Kai exclaimed in surprise, "Dad!?"

Might Guy descended from the sky and saved them, perfectly matching the child's impression of his father: My dad is Superman!

"It's Mr. Dai!?"

Compared to Might Guy's surprise, Ebisu and Genma were quite disappointed.

They didn't have the emotional attachment to their father and rationally believed that Matt Day's rescue was pointless, ultimately only resulting in the death of another comrade.

Seeing her son Kai safe and sound, Dai breathed a sigh of relief: "At least we made it in time!"

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach, but Kai became anxious.

"Dad, did you come alone? Where are the other Konoha Jonin?"

Matt Day took a few steps forward, blocking all the children, and said without turning his head, "There's no one here anymore. I came by myself."

"You must retreat immediately. I will buy you enough time."

Kai couldn't accept that his father had traded his life for his own. Tears streaming down his face, he cried out, "There's no escaping it, Dad!"

"The other side consists of seven Jonin, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Kirigakure. You can't possibly stop them, Dad."

Dai said calmly, "We can stop it!"

"Youth is a time for no retreat, and besides, Kai, you're behind me, so I have no way out."

Suigetsu Fugu burst into laughter: "Haha, this is so interesting! The filial piety between fathers and sons in Konoha Village is so touching, I'm about to cry."

Wu Li Shenba sneered, "Hehehehe, such a good father and son, killing one will surely make the other suffer to a new peak."

"It's so hard to choose!"

"Should we kill the father or the son?"

Kushimaru Kurihara came up with a cruel idea: "Why don't I sew them up together, so they're back to back, never seeing each other again, but still able to feel each other's heartbeats gradually stopping..."

"Tsk, just thinking about the despair in that scene makes me tremble with excitement."

Juzo Biwa spoke up, reminding them, "You two, pay attention! That guy may be dressed as a Konoha genin, but his chakra and taijutsu are incredibly strong!"

"If you all fall into a trap, don't blame me for killing you!"

Raiga Kurosuki said with a wicked grin, "Hey, Juzo Biwa, you can't kill them."

"It doesn't matter whether they live or die, but the newcomer is likely to be a waste, and then the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will be completely ruined."

"You piece of trash who's only interested in flounder, do you agree with what I'm saying?"

The nameless flounder heir lowered his head and remained silent, pretending not to hear Raiga Kurosuki's sarcasm.

While the Seven Ninja Swordsmen joked and fought amongst themselves, Genma carefully calculated the relative strengths of both sides.

He realized that the enemy was really strong, and Matt Day couldn't hold out for long; even if he escaped, he would eventually die.

Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well work together and try to kill a Kirigakure Jonin, so that our deaths won't have been in vain.

He shouted, "Gentlemen, we cannot escape!"

"Rather than die on the run, let's not move at all, let's fight here and try to eliminate a few enemies!"

Ebisu shouted back, "Alright, then let's fight them!"

At the same time, he quietly asked, "Genma, do you have any battle plans?"

Genma Shiranui replied, "No!"

Matt Kai shook his head with a wry smile; as expected, he had missed his chance to shine.

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and prepared for the final battle:

"Children, don't hesitate any longer, leave now!"

"Leave this to me, I won't let them get past."

"Kai! Your father's last lesson for you: A ninja is strongest when protecting what he cherishes!"
