Being a rogue ninja is worse than being Hokage.

Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!

And the source of Naruto's learning this technique was none other than Kakashi Hatake!!!

The decapitation technique, which was supposed to completely pull the restrained enemy's body into the ground and imprison his mind, was instead used by Might Guy to seize the opportunity the moment Kakashi Hatake grabbed Naruto's ankle!

The seventh gate of the Eight Gates Released Might Guy's physical limits to a superhuman level.

Might Guy's figure had long since disappeared from Naruto's sight; only the ear-piercing sonic boom created by exceeding the speed of sound resounded in Naruto's ears!

This physical attack—without a doubt, is Rei Renka!

The Seventh Gate, the Gate of Shock, contains the Lotus Flower!

In the blink of an eye, Might Guy's kick was already close to Naruto's face!

However, the pain did not come as expected.

Just as Might Guy was about to kick Naruto, he forced himself to stop the Reverse Lotus's attack on Naruto.

Black flames appeared in front of Naruto.

Might Guy witnessed this move three years ago; it originated from the Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique of Itachi Uchiha's eyes—"Amaterasu"!

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

Might Guy's gaze fell upon the caster of "Amaterasu"!

The last remaining youth of the Uchiha clan appeared on the battlefield where Guy and Kakashi were fighting Naruto.

"You don't have time to be distracted!"

The next moment, Naruto's proactive attack once again drew Might Guy's attention back.

He seized the moment when Might Guy's black flames subsided while facing Amaterasu, and attacked Might Guy with the Rasengan!

But in the next instant, Kakashi had already completed the mental decapitation technique that had not yet stopped.

The Rasengan was just a hair's breadth away from touching Might Guy's body, but Naruto had already been pulled underground by Kakashi, with only his head remaining above ground.

As Naruto's body was trapped underground, Kakashi burst out of the ground, his hands crackling with purple lightning.

One Naruto is already troublesome enough, but facing both Naruto and Sasuke at the same time will only further reduce his and Guy's chances of winning the battle!

We need to deal with Naruto at least first!

Kakashi Hatake finally made up his mind and poured his killing intent into his disciple, his teacher's only orphan!

But in the end, Zidian's attack missed its target.

Naruto, who was pulled underground by Earth Release: Mind Decapitation Technique, has disappeared!

"Another shadow clone?!"

This expected yet unexpected fact made Kakashi's determination seem so ridiculous and powerless.

Where is Naruto's real body then?

Kakashi looked around, searching for Naruto.

When he finally spotted Naruto again, Naruto's attention was no longer on Kakashi and Guy.

Is the Naruto who appeared this time his real body? Or is it still a shadow clone?

Kakashi was unable to make an accurate judgment.

"Sasuke, have you gotten the answer you wanted?"

Naruto, who had reappeared, simply stared at Sasuke, who had appeared there.

Sasuke's presence here indicates that Danzo Shimura has successfully been killed by Sasuke.

Naruto's question did not require Sasuke's answer.

Now, Sasuke's eyes no longer held the confusion he had when he learned the truth about Itachi.

After reading the Uchiha clan's stone tablet and confirming the truth of the past with Shimura Danzo, Sasuke now has a choice about what he will do.

Naruto didn't know what choice to make.

But Naruto was certain that Sasuke had now completely sided with him.

His gaze held no more lingering affection for Konoha.

"The answer? Naruto, what is your true purpose in invading Konoha?"

Sensing something amiss, Kakashi spoke up to question him.

Naruto showed no intention of answering.

Sasuke ignored Kakashi and only urged Naruto, "Naruto, let's stop fooling around."

"Playing around"... Konoha's all-out resistance against Naruto's invasion of the village was, in Sasuke's eyes, only deserving of such a contemptuous word.

But that is the truth.

Sasuke knew better than anyone that Naruto was only "playing around" with Konoha so that Sasuke would have enough time to personally confirm with the Konoha leadership the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre and Konoha's attitude.

Naruto today is very different from what he was three years ago.

He has plenty of ways to destroy Konoha; if it weren't for Sasuke, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths in this battle.

C0 - Deidara's self-destruction, now completely controlled by his Sharingan to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball attack after transforming into a Tailed Beast—or—the dark vortex resembling a Rasengan that Naruto conjured in his hand—that was what annihilated Amegakure not long ago—

—The Great Spiral Wheel.

Naruto could destroy Konoha with just one strike.

The fate of Konoha was sealed from the very beginning!

"That chakra..."

Kakashi stared in horror at the tiny, inconspicuous black vortex in Naruto's hand.

The ninjutsu Naruto is using now is definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface!

The amount of chakra compressed within the black vortex was so vast that it could not be described in concrete terms!

If Naruto were to successfully unleash this ninjutsu, Konoha would be plunged into utter ruin!

"Kakashi, we absolutely cannot let Naruto use the ninjutsu he's preparing! Otherwise, Konoha will..."

Intuition sounded an alarm for Kakashi, while Might Guy, standing beside him, was even more decisive.

Kakashi sensed Guy's determination, but before he could stop him, Might Guy's aura, which had been burning with sweat and surrounded by blue steam after opening the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, underwent a violent change!

The blue vapor surrounding Matt Kay instantly turned crimson!

Although it was the first time Kakashi had seen Guy in this form, Kakashi, who had some knowledge of the Eight Gates, immediately understood the reason for Guy's transformation.

Might Guy has completely unlocked the Eight Gates Formation, stepping into the final eighth gate, the Gate of Death—a deadly taijutsu technique that, once opened, will inevitably burn the caster's life to ashes!

"With such a massive amount of chakra gathered, the Naruto Uzumaki before us must be his true form!"

Knowing that Naruto was skilled at using Shadow Clone Jutsu to lure enemies, the pressure Guy was under was immense. He was still able to so decisively use a forbidden technique that would inevitably lead to his death.

But Might Guy was right; Naruto could indeed only use his true form to unleash the "Great Rasengan."

But so what?

"Kakashi! Watch closely, this is the youth of Might Guy, burning with all his might!"

The Eighth Gate of Death is not a forbidden technique that can be used simply by knowing how to open it. If Might Guy hadn't possessed such a tenacious will, he might have fainted the moment he opened the Gate of Death due to the excruciating pain of pushing his body to its limits.

His youth will burn out at this moment—

—"Night Kai!"

In an instant, Might Guy transformed into a red dragon and charged towards Naruto!

It was clearly just a physical attack, yet the space around it was noticeably distorted as Might Guy followed his attack path.

But—physical skills are ultimately just physical skills!

Naruto is not like Madara Uchiha, who, after gaining power, would willingly take Might Guy's strongest attack due to his arrogance!

The distortion of space also appeared in front of Naruto.

The distortion was definitely not caused by Matt Kay's "Night Kay"!

Naruto's left eye, which he had taken from Kakashi's eye, transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kamui!

He didn't need to rely on the Mangekyou Sharingan's perception to aim at Might Guy, who was moving so fast he couldn't see him. He only needed to surround his body with Kamui's distorted space.

Because Might Guy will definitely get close to Naruto!

And the result was exactly as Naruto had predicted!

It is also a distortion of space.

Even though "Night Guy" is still a physical technique, it is ultimately no match for "Kamui," a space-time eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

The moment Might Guy made contact with Kamui, the leg he used to unleash Night Guy was completely twisted off!

"Let's just die regretting our worthless youth—"

Naruto stopped paying attention to Might Guy, who was destined to die, and threw out the black vortex in his hand.

—The Great Spiral Wheel!

The black chakra ball, compressed to its limit, had just touched the ground.

It bloomed in an instant, completely destroying the entire Leaf Village!

Once again, Naruto brought Konoha an incurable wound.

Naruto, the instigator, and his companions remained unaffected by this pain.

……

……

"Hey! Don't you have any other ninjutsu to use?!"

After dealing with Shimura Danzo, Hozuki Suigetsu, who left Konoha with Karin ahead of time, used a summoning technique at the last moment, but then collapsed to the ground in fear, feeling his legs go weak.

Hozuki Suigetsu looked at the Sound Four, whom he had summoned from Konoha to his side. The Sound Four were pale with fright from Naruto's Great Rasengan.
