Because of Iwagakure's voluntary withdrawal, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge did not occur.

Yagura was only a few years older than Minato Namikaze, and their son had just been born.

Because of his seniority, he had to contend with a bunch of "old-fashioned" bloodline families in Kirigakure every day for power and profit, which gave him a terrible headache.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was a man of his word in Konoha and whose word was law except when speaking to Danzo, he was different.

However, seeing that the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning were all fighting the Land of Fire, Kirigakure, despite being far away across the ocean, also wanted to profit from the situation.

Therefore, they dispatched the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to lead a group of Mist Ninja into the border area of ​​the Land of Fire to rob.

After all, the Land of Water and the Land of Fire are separated by a sea, and it is not easy to occupy and defend a piece of land. Robbing is a more suitable job for them, as they can make a quick buck and run away.

Similarly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware of Kirigakure's intentions, so he did not send too many troops to deal with them.

After all, no matter what the opponent does, they can't harm the foundation of Konoha Village. Dealing with the other three major land powers is more important.

So he only sent a small contingent of troops as a token gesture to intercept the Hidden Mist ninja who were robbing the area.

Among them were Uchiha Shisui and Might Guy.

Of course, as a genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui was given high expectations.

Might Guy was just a low-ranking ninja at this time, a cannon fodder, and even carried out the same mission as his own son.

In the battle against the Mist Ninja, Uchiha Shisui quickly distinguished himself, becoming famous for his powerful Body Flicker Technique and Sharingan, and was known as "Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique".

Despite leading only a small force, he frequently reported victories, and the number of Mist Ninja who fell at his hands was countless.

Upon learning of this, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist planned to trap several Konoha genin. They deliberately spread the news to lure Uchiha Shisui to his rescue, intending to kill him with the combined strength of the seven.

To be honest, this plan already puts a lot of thought into Uchiha Shisui, considering that all seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have participated.

They never expected that the reinforcements would be just a Konoha genin.

Moreover, this mere Konoha genin managed to kill most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the remaining members were forced to flee in disarray, leaving them with psychological trauma.

This time, however, they encountered an even more formidable opponent.

……

"hateful!"

Might Guy, along with his teammates Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, were surrounded by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Their Chunin instructor, who was leading the team, had been killed by the enemy with a decapitation sword, and his body lay nearby.

"Why would such powerful figures as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist come after a small team like ours? And all seven of them at once?"

They had two squads on a reconnaissance mission, but unexpectedly ran into the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The two Chunin leading the teams were quickly killed, while another squad was blown to pieces by the explosive blade spray, with only one person escaping after being seriously injured.

Might Guy and his two companions were already in despair.

If the Hokage has to intervene personally, who can save the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

Among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Kushimaru Kurihara, wielding the long sword Sewing Needle and sporting long, spiky yellow hair, drew the Sewing Needle from his back. A cruel smile appeared on his face beneath the mask of the Kirigakure Anbu as he approached three Konoha genin who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy.

"What I enjoy most is torturing you young people. The more fearful and painful you are, the more excited I become!"

"Here we go again."

The other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were already used to Kushimaru Kurihara's actions.

Raiga Kurozuki specifically reminded him of this.

"Don't kill them. Remember to leave them alive as hostages. The screams of these three brats might do some good."

Chapter 358 Seven Ninja Swordsmen

Just as Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu were sweating profusely, preparing to fight to the death against Kushimaru Kurihara, who looked like a deranged serial killer, an extremely loud voice came from the dense forest.

"Kai!"

Hearing the voice, Matt Kai turned his head in great surprise, thinking he was hallucinating due to extreme tension.

"Father?"

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu also turned around, surprised.

"Uncle Dai? What brings you here?"

Might Guy looked warily at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in front of him and spoke.

"I encountered a call for help while I was on patrol, so I rushed over immediately."

Seeing Might Guy's dashing stubble, unique hairstyle, dark green uniform, and the courage to face them alone, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were immediately impressed.

This guy is so unique, could he be a famous Jonin in Konoha?

Even at his worst, he'd still be a top-tier Jonin, right?

Kushimaru Kurihara, holding a long sword and sewing needle, smiled warily at Might Guy.

"Who are you? State your name!"

Matt Day gave a thumbs-up, revealing his inherited, spotless white teeth.

"I am Might Guy, a genin from Konoha!"

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist: ...

"Genin?"

Suigetsu-san looked up at the sky speechlessly, while Juzo Biwa burst out laughing.

"A mere genin dares to stand before the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? What a great fatherly love!"

"You fool me?!"

When Might Guy told him that he was just a genin, Kurihara Kushimaru was furious.

I was actually scared by a mere genin!

Although he was deeply moved by his father's selfless act of saving him, Might Guy knew that even after twenty years, his father was still only a Genin!

He couldn't possibly be a match for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

"Father, why did you come here!"

Might Guy was in tears. Might Day turned around and gave him his usual bright smile.

"Kai, now is the time to embrace youth! True victory isn't about 'defeating the strong,' but about 'protecting what's important to you until death!' This is my ninja way! Eight Gates—"

Just as Might Guy was about to open the Eight Gates, Xia Zhi arrived at the scene.

"well said!"

He descended from the sky, landing with a thud between the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Might Guy, and praised him.

"Your name is Might Guy? You created the Eight Gates Formation by opening the Eight Gates of the human body; you are truly a genius in physical combat! I would call you the strongest in Gouken!"

Seeing Xia Zhi dressed in full armor, exuding an imposing aura, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen guessed that he was no weakling.

But with Might Guy as a precedent, Kurihara Kushimaru said deliberately, clearly displeased.

"Who are you, Konoha genin? Die!"

He raised his long knife and needle and thrust it fiercely into Xia Zhi's heart.

Xia Zhi chuckled and instantly formed a hand seal.

"Youngsters, dance for your arrogance! Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the thick smoke, Xia Zhi created six shadow clones, which attacked the remaining six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

He then stomped his right foot on the ground, first dodging Kurihara Kushimaru's thrust, then lunging forward to get close to him.

With lightning speed, Xia Zhi grabbed Li San Chuan Wan's right elbow with one hand and pressed down on his wrist with the other, first pulling and then twisting.

card!

A crisp sound of bones dislocating rang out. Xia Zhi had dislocated the elbow bone of Li San Chuan Wan, allowing the opponent's joint to move freely in 360 degrees.

Of course, it hurts a lot too.

"what!"

Kurisan Kushimaru screamed in pain, but there was no time to move.

At the same time, Xia Zhi grabbed his wrist, turned the long knife and needle upside down, and slapped the handle of the long knife and needle hard.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the long sword needle pierced through the ANBU mask on Kurihara Kushimaru's face and went into his head.

Red and white liquids dripped from the tip of the knife.

Although shadow clones are physical clones that can be destroyed as long as they are attacked, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had difficulty even resisting, let alone counterattacking, under the relentless and fierce attacks of Xia Zhi's shadow clones, which were like a storm.

Pong!

Of the seven ninja swords, the sturdiest one, the Executioner's Blade, couldn't withstand the force and was broken in two by Xia Zhi's shadow clone.

Clap clap clap clap!

Xia Zhi, with his feet firmly planted in a horse stance and waist and stance as one, unleashed five punches in a single instant, shattering the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of Pi Pa Shi Zang.

"vomit!"

Fresh blood, along with a large amount of internal organ fragments, gushed from Pipa Juzo's mouth. He then collapsed heavily to the ground and died on the spot.

"You bastard!"

Suigetsu Hozuki raised his greatsword Samehada high and launched an attack on Xia Zhi with the force and posture of splitting a mountain.

But Samehada was startled by the summer solstice!

Samehada was originally a follower of the Three-Tails, Isobu, and lived by absorbing the Three-Tails' chakra. Later, it was transformed into a ninja sword by Kirigakure.

Even after undergoing modifications, Samehada still retains its own will in order to make it even more powerful.

It's a living knife!

The essence of the Summer Solstice is black mud, a product of human evil devouring Uchiha Madara.

Sensing the destructive chakra emanating from him, Samehada dared not oppose him.

puff!

Several sharp spikes suddenly extended from the handle that Suigetsu Hozuki was holding, piercing through Suigetsu Hozuki's right hand.

"what!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon instinctively cried out in pain and released his right hand.

He gripped his bleeding right arm and glared angrily at Samehada.

Samehada, what are you doing?!

Samehada, however, twisted its body forcefully on the ground like a fish, then flicked its tail and jumped up.

It points its tail toward the summer solstice and descends from the sky, just in time for the summer solstice to catch it.

Sushiyama Fuguki, who had been subjected to NTR, was furious.

Samehada, how could you betray me?!

Xia Zhi weighed the Samehada in her hand, then sneered and slashed it down at Suigetsu Hobutsuki!

"what!!!"

Soon, Muri Jinpachi, Tsukakusa Norito, Kurosuki Raiga, and the first user of the unnamed dual swords, Halibut, all perished under the attack of Natsushi's shadow clone.

Xia Zhi grabbed the seven ninja swords and sealed them all into a sealing scroll to prevent them from being summoned back by Kirigakure.

Matt Dai, standing to the side, expressed his gratitude to Xia Zhi.

"Thank you so much for saving us! My father and I are only low-ranking ninjas, but we will repay any kindness shown to us! May we ask your name, our benefactor?"

Although he was confident that he could help Might Guy and the other two escape even if he risked his life, Might Dai knew that if he used the Eight Gates, he would surely die in his current state.

Xia Zhi looked at Might Guy and was naturally envious of the Eight Gates technique he had created.
