Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 397 Might Guy, A Real Man

The icy, mature Samui spoke at length, even more than when Killer Bee was kidnapped, but the effect was quite obvious.

Omoi and Karui, the two little black boys, instantly blushed.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Both of them admitted their mistakes and then ran towards the direction of the explosion in Konoha at an even faster speed.

They are afraid of death, but that's only when the safety and interests of the village are not at stake.

Now that they've realized what's going on, whether Konoha is facing an enemy or the Nine-Tails is truly rampaging, they must figure out the reason as soon as possible.

Only by figuring out the reasons behind this can the Hidden Cloud Village take appropriate action.

Otherwise, if, as Samoi said, such an attack were to suddenly descend upon Kumogakure one day, and they were caught completely off guard, the outcome would be the same as Konoha's current state—utter destruction.

For the sake of the village, for the sake of their comrades, they would rather die than fail to find out what was happening in Konoha.

At this point, Konoha... no longer exists.

The enormous mushroom cloud of smoke lingered high in the sky for a long time.

Below the center of the mushroom cloud, the original Konoha, despite the massive destruction caused by Shinra Tensei, can still be identified as Konoha by its surroundings, such as the Hokage Rock.

However, now, apart from the large crater created by Shinra Tensei, which still retains the outline of a small crater, the area is now covered by an even larger crater.

Outside the pit, there was a deep yellow loess plain, as solid as stone, as if it had been compressed by some heavy object, with a smooth metallic texture.

Originally, there were several large mountains not far from Konoha, but now only a few small mounds remain.

The large trees surrounding Konoha, and the ring of ruins created by Pain's Shinra Tensei, all disappeared.

Centered on the original Konoha, there is nothing within a six-kilometer radius except for a barren expanse of yellow earth.

In the center of the new crater, Li Yao's body was completely smooth; his clothes and pants had been obliterated by the attack just now.

Whoops!

Whoops!

Li Yao rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily. Although he had no injuries, he was extremely exhausted, both mentally and physically.

After resting for a while, Li Yao stood up straight.

A crackling sound... A burst of white and purple lightning flashed across his body.

After the time reset, Li Yao returned to his previous state, with his clothes and pants back on, and his chakra also returned to its peak.

Feeling his body and chakra replenished with power, and even his spirit full, Li Yao couldn't help but marvel once again at the terrifying power of the Time Reset Ninjutsu.

As long as he has enough chakra, he is truly immortal and can fight indefinitely.

"Hahaha... I won after all!"

Li Yao, now back to his peak condition, laughed heartily; he had ultimately won this battle.

Although the victory was hard-won, he won because of his invincible defense.

In terms of offensive power, the Night Guy used by Might Guy in this Naruto world is terrifyingly powerful, far stronger than the Night Guy in the anime I watched in my previous life that almost ended the series with one kick.

The power of Night Kai in this world is not much weaker than the supergravity punch that his body gains from the imaginary mass of ten million tons.

The two were evenly matched in their attacks.

However, when it comes to their physical defense, the difference is like night and day.

Might Guy was already dead when he used Night Guy; he was only kept alive by a burning will.

Under the energy surge from that terrifying attack, even the strongest will could not continue to exist... Hmm?

Li Yao frowned, then relaxed and smiled slightly, "Matt Kai... you really are a terrifying man!"

"What...what kind of ninjutsu is that?!"

At this moment, Jiraiya, who also possessed an immortal body, had already regained his form. However, he was stunned by what had just happened. He was trembling and staring at Li Yao in disbelief.

Originally, Li Yao had only lost his clothes and pants under the impact of that all-annihilating power, but his body was not injured at all, which had already shocked Jiraiya for a hundred years.

However, just now, Li Yao, who was clearly exhausted and mentally out of sorts, suddenly had his clothes restored to perfect condition after a burst of white and purple lightning chakra flashed around him. His body and mind were also instantly full of energy.

This unbelievable scene is both shocking and despairing.

How can we fight like this?

Even if Naruto is the child of prophecy, what can be done?

What can we use to defeat such a monster?

In despair, Jiraiya asked the question completely subconsciously.

He wanted to know what kind of bizarre ninjutsu Li Yao had used to instantly recover from being out of sorts to being at his peak.

"You should check how many people are left in Konoha!"

Li Yao smiled slightly, ignoring Jiraiya's momentarily stunned gaze, and instantly appeared where Might Guy was. He reached out his hand as if grabbing something, and closed his eyes.

There was nothing on the ground; Might Guy's body had long since turned to ashes, completely annihilated by the attack.

However, a faint trace of will remained in the air, slowly dissipating.

It can only be said that he is indeed a man who can materialize his will in the real world; even the attack just now did not completely annihilate his will.

The remaining will still burned, just as the battle with Li Yao was not yet over.

Death, death, death... This faint will was still filled with the thought of a desperate, all-or-nothing strike, as if it had no end.

"A real man!"

"Matt Kai!"

Such a performance by Matt Kai completely earned Li Yao's respect.

Even until the very last spark of his will was burned out, Might Guy's will remained solely focused on killing Li Yao, nothing else mattered.

This shows how unwavering Might Guy's determination to protect Konoha is.

"Such a terrifying will...I long to possess it too!"

While sighing, Li Yao continued to maintain his senses until Might Guy's last faint will completely burned out and disappeared. He remained standing still, showing no intention of extracting the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body.

For Li Yao now, finding a way to materialize his will is more important. The Nine-Tailed Fox... is just an insect, which he can control at any time.

Li Yao wasn't in a hurry, but Jiraiya was. After being reminded again, he frantically ran in the direction Tsunade had gone.

As he ran, the faster he ran, the more desperate Jiraiya's face became.

No!

There's nothing there!

The massive shockwave generated by the clash between Li Yao and Matt Kai annihilated everything around them.

Unlike Shinra Tensei, whose attack was limited to the repulsion range, the clash between Li Yao and Might Guy's ultimate moves was like a nuclear explosion.

Not only is its destructive power at the center immense, but the shockwave it generates also causes even greater damage as it radiates outwards.

It can blow down trees on mountaintops from over ten kilometers away, ravaging the land like a typhoon, and the damage it causes around Konoha is naturally even more thorough.
