Boom!!!
The crimson dragon of Night Guy roared downward, unstoppable in its descent.
The first to face its wrath was none other than the Edo Tensei-revived Nagato.
Even though he was hundreds of miles away, controlling the Edo Tensei bodies, Kabuto Yakushi felt as though the blood-soaked storm was right in front of him.
"Super Shinra Tensei!!"
A devastating repulsion force erupted from Nagato, powerful enough to level an entire village. Yet, it couldn't halt the advance of Night Guy.
Kabuto's voice trembled. "This isn't just a disruption of force fields… space itself is being warped!?"
Boom!
The repulsion force shattered. Nagato's body, despite its Edo Tensei resilience, was obliterated like tofu. Along with him, the Gold and Silver Brothers, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, were also annihilated.
Boom!!!
The Night Guy dragon surged forward, its residual shockwaves alone obliterating the recently reformed bodies of the Third Raikage, Deidara, Sasori, and Kakuzu, leaving them in ruins once more.
The crimson beast turned its merciless gaze toward a fleeing Sasuke Uchiha, its target locked.
"It's over," Sasuke whispered, glancing back over his shoulder. Despair consumed him as the roaring wind of death closed in, leaving no room to evade.
Buzz!
But at that moment, his eyes burned with an intense heat.
Without his conscious control, his Susano'o activated. Yet, its hue was not his usual dark purple—it was fiery red!
Before him, a flaming red mirror materialized within the Susano'o—a legendary artifact.
The Yata Mirror, a shield of the gods, once wielded by Itachi Uchiha.
Boom!!
Might Guy's leg, fused with the power of the crimson dragon, collided with the Yata Mirror.
Clang!!!
The mirror radiated a blinding light, holding back the unstoppable force of Night Guy.
But Guy's killing intent was boundless, his resolve unshakable.
"RAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
He roared, heedless of his shattered leg bones, pushing forward, inch by inch.
Crack! Crack!
The Yata Mirror began to distort under the immense pressure, its surface warping as though subjected to the effects of Kamui.
CRACK!!!
With a piercing sound, the legendary Yata Mirror shattered, its invincibility reduced to myth.
With the mirror gone, the Susano'o behind it crumbled like dry leaves.
Standing beside Sasuke, Kimimaro activated his Earth Curse Mark, his body surging with cursed chakra. His Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) enveloped him in a skeletal armor, and he stepped in front of Sasuke to shield him.
Boom!!!
Kimimaro's body lasted less than a second against the might of Night Guy, shattering into dust.
Sasuke gripped his Kusanagi Sword, raising its tip forward in a final, desperate act of defiance.
But Guy didn't even acknowledge it. His unstoppable kick struck forward.
CRACK!!!
The Kusanagi Sword splintered into dozens of fragments, its blade melting under the searing heat of the crimson steam. A single fragment, stained with Guy's blood, flew off into the distance before disintegrating.
Breaking through every defense, Night Guy landed its final blow squarely on Sasuke's chest.
CRACK!!!!!!
The bones in Sasuke's chest shattered instantly. His eyes rolled back, and his body was flung like a broken kite, crashing hundreds of meters away amidst the rubble. Blood and fragments of his internal organs spilled from his mouth and nose as he lay unconscious.
As for Might Guy, the fiery conclusion of Night Guy marked the end of his life. His energy spent, his body began to crumble like autumn leaves.
His entire form carbonized, cracks resembling molten lava spreading across his body. Starting from the leg that unleashed Night Guy, his body turned to ash, disintegrating into the wind.
What remained was a broken battlefield and the mangled bodies of his enemies—a testament to his existence.
Yet, the Edo Tensei bodies, immune to death by any means other than Yin-Yang Release, began to regenerate. Not even the overwhelming power of Night Guy could change this rule.
Whoosh!
Amidst the swirling ashes, the bodies of Nagato, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, the Third Raikage, Kimimaro, and the Gold and Silver Brothers reformed one by one.
Controlling Nagato, Kabuto approached Sasuke's broken form to examine him. With just a glance, his brow furrowed deeply.
"His heart and internal organs are completely destroyed. From a medical perspective, Sasuke is already dead."
Kabuto muttered to himself, "This is beyond the reach of medical ninjutsu. Even if I personally transplanted Hashirama's cells into him, it wouldn't save him."
He continued, "However, the series of defensive measures did mitigate the impact to some extent. His brain wasn't immediately destroyed by the shockwave. While his thoughts have ceased, his brainstem is still faintly active."
"When the heart stops, a person is declared dead. But from a biological standpoint, true death is marked by brain death."
Kabuto recalled Orochimaru's research. "Until the brain fully dies, the soul remains tethered to the body. In this case…"
Nagato extended his hand under Kabuto's control.
"Human Path!"
Whoosh!
Sasuke's soul was forcibly extracted.
Kabuto smirked. "To revive someone using the Preta Path, both the body and soul must be intact. Any later, and Sasuke's soul would have departed for the Pure Land. At that point, Edo Tensei would've been my only option. But Edo Tensei would mean he could never awaken the Rinnegan."
"Preta Path!"
Boom!!
The Preta Path's demonic statue erupted behind Nagato, engulfing Sasuke's body and soul. Kabuto planned to return to his lair and fully resurrect Sasuke.
Kabuto chuckled darkly. "To think that unremarkable Might Guy could unleash such monstrous taijutsu. With Madara gone, Naruto and Obito rising, and Sasuke not yet matured, my plans are precarious. If only I could Edo Tensei Guy or resurrect him by other means, it would be a great boon. But alas, not even a corpse remains."
Suddenly, Nagato's enhanced vision caught sight of a blood-stained fragment of the Kusanagi Sword lodged between two rocks.
"Heh…"
Kabuto licked his lips. "It seems fate is on my side. Even without Madara, I'll have no regrets."
In a forest outside Konoha.
Ino, gravely injured, hovered on the brink of death as Sakura Haruno frantically worked to save her with medical ninjutsu.
The absence of pursuing enemies signaled that Might Guy's ultimate sacrifice had successfully bought them time to escape.
Ino's burns were horrifying, leaving almost no unscathed skin. The fact that she was still alive was a miracle.
"Choji, how's your arm?" Shikamaru asked, his voice heavy with concern.
Choji clutched his severed arm. "It's fine. I can't feel the pain anymore. Compared to what Ino's enduring, this is nothing."
Sakura struggled to steady her trembling hands, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. Helplessness, guilt, and grief pushed her to the brink of emotional collapse.
A familiar, radiant smile surfaced in her mind.
She could no longer hold back her cries.
"Naruto…"
"Naruto!"
"Naruto, where are you?!"
"Please, come back to Konoha! Come back to us, Naruto!!!"
In Amegakure, atop the seventh floor of a tower.
Naruto Uzumaki opened his eyes, his exhaustion from battle slowly fading.
Konan approached the bedside, her high collar hiding half her face, her expression unreadable.
"Two pieces of news," she said. "One good, one bad. Which do you want first?"
Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes, his voice casual. "Hmm, let's start with the good news."
Konan's lips curved into a faint smile. "Jiraiya-sensei's body… has been found."
Naruto's eyes lit up with a fierce, determined glow.
