In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 397 Eight Gates Formation, Naruto and Sasuke Awaken

"The time has come for Konoha's blue beast to transform into a red beast."

Matt Kai didn't lower his voice, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

All the Konoha ninjas who knew about the Eight Gates Formation immediately froze.

Kakashi gasped in shock, "Gai, do you mean to..."

"Ah," Might Guy's expression suddenly turned serious, revealing a rare look of wisdom in his eyes, and he said firmly, "From the previous battle, you should have seen that Chiyo seems to possess an even more unsolvable ability than Obito."

"Not only can it nullify ninjutsu, but it also seems to have the ability to steal chakra."

"In other words, not only ninjutsu, but even sage techniques are useless against him."

"Now, all that's left is my physical skill. That's my only hope of defeating Chiya."

"Therefore, before Naruto awakens, rather than waiting to die, I..."

As he spoke, Might Guy recalled the image of his father, Might Dai, sacrificing himself by opening the Eight Gates to protect him, and thought to himself, "Dad, now it's my turn."

"Idiot, you'll die if you do that!" Kakashi, who had lost one eye, couldn't control his emotions and shouted.

"No, Kakashi, you're wrong. It's true. I will die if I open the Eight Gates." Might Guy turned around, leaving everyone with a cool back view, and extended his right hand, showing his thumb.

He said with great enthusiasm, "But I'm not doing this out of bravado. My father once opened the Eight Gates to save me when I was just a supporting character."

"But now, it's my turn to protect the green leaves." He looked at his three disciples, "You three, Lee, Neji, and Tenten."

"Teacher Kai, has it really come to that?" Rock Lee asked, tears streaming down his face.

Neji sighed helplessly, feeling that desperate sense of powerlessness once again after his father's death.

As for Tenten, who usually complains about Might Guy being disgusting at this time, she cried just like Rock Lee, her eyes red as she said, "Mr. Guy, although you look disgusting, I will never forget you..."

As she spoke, she threw herself into Neji's arms and burst into tears.

"During my time in Konoha, I had contact with that guy Fujiwara Chiya. He was right about something: death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. Although I don't know where Mount Tai is, it must be a very heavy mountain."

"So," Might Guy crossed his arms and blocked his way, "Eight Gates, Seventh Gate open."

After he finished speaking, a powerful stream of blue steam erupted from his body, and he crouched down as if about to jump.

"Wait, Might Guy!" Seeing that Might Guy had opened seven doors in one go, Rock Lee seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly spoke up, wanting to remind Might Guy.

But Might Guy was clearly blinded by passion. "No time to dawdle here, Lee. If I survive, we can talk after the war."

He gave a casual reply.

With a leap, the ground exploded in a spiderweb pattern, and he soared into the sky, turning into a speck of light and disappearing from the sight of the allied forces.

Rock Lee froze instantly.

Neji walked over to Rock Lee, put his right hand on his shoulder, and asked with some surprise, "Lee, what did you want to ask about Guy-sensei just now?"

Rock Lee said dejectedly, "What I want to say is that Fujiwara Chiya knows about Guy's Eight Gates Formation. Every time before he uses it, she uses illusion to disrupt Guy's senses and then stabs him in the kidneys, rendering him unable to move."

"Ugh." Upon hearing this, the allied forces immediately realized what was happening, and then began to panic.

"What should we do? If this continues, Teacher Kai will definitely get stabbed in the back again." Tian Tian was so anxious that she was almost crying.

Just thinking about how their teacher, Matt Ke, desperately tried to open the Eighth Gate, only to be stabbed in the back before he could even use it...

Just thinking about it is unacceptable.

"No, there's absolutely no need to worry about that." It was Kakashi who spoke, standing up and saying seriously, "Guy and I have discussed this before."

"I think that's why he opened the seventh gate to speed up the journey, and by the time he reaches the battlefield, it will be the eighth gate."

"However, we can't let Guy fight alone." Kakashi stood up. "Let's go, everyone. Guy is right. Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai."

"We cannot let Kai sacrifice himself in vain, nor can we let him fight alone. If you want to protect your comrades and loved ones, then come with me to support Kai."

Kakashi's simple words completely ignited the Allied Forces' fighting spirit. Everyone was in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, as if possessed by a victor, and they all headed towards the battlefield in the direction of Chiyo.

"Teacher, I'm entrusting Naruto to you." Kakashi gave the Fourth Hokage a deep look, then turned and headed to the battlefield with the Allied Forces without looking back. Jiraiya, Guy's team, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Gaara, and others followed closely behind.

Kakashi, you've really grown. I believe you'll become an outstanding Hokage someday. Watching Kakashi and the others leave, the Fourth Hokage smiled with satisfaction.

Not long after they left, Naruto slowly woke up and finally opened his eyes.

At the same time, Erzhuzi, whose heart had been ripped out by Qianye, also opened his eyes.

"Sasuke, how are you feeling?" At this moment, Jugo and Suigetsu had arrived here, guided by Kotori.

Erzhuzi didn't answer, but simply stood up and, to the astonishment of Orochimaru, Suigetsu, Jugo, Kabuto, and Yakushi Nono, revealed a six-tomoe Sharingan and a scarlet Sharingan.

He walked up to the second generation, raised his left hand which had gained the power of the Six Paths of Yin, and grabbed the black rod made by Chiya.

The moment he grabbed the black stick, a tremendous binding force suddenly swept over his entire body, causing Erzhuzi's body to tremble violently.

After a long while, he slowly loosened his arms.

He scoffed, frowned, and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that guy to be this strong. It seems that even with half of the Six Paths' power, we'll have to team up with Naruto to have any chance of winning."

The second-generation heir warned, "It seems you went through something when you were on the verge of death, as you were able to touch the black rod that Qianye made. But don't try to pull it out again."

"You must have felt it just now; that guy is unfathomable."

Erzhuzi interrupted Erdai, "I don't need you to remind me."

He gently touched his left eye, the image of Chiya appearing in his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I know that bastard's strength better than anyone else, but that's precisely why I have no choice but to cooperate with Naruto."

"Second Hokage, it seems you can't teleport anymore. In that case, you and the others can wait here for now. I'll be right back. Summoning Jutsu." After saying that, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals, summoned a ninja hawk, jumped onto its back, and flew rapidly towards Chiyo's direction.
