Part Time Employee in Konoha

Seven minutes and thirty seconds.

This is a very brief period of time.

For powerful ninjas like Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura, fighting for a day and a night is no big deal. Seven minutes and thirty seconds is but a moment for them!

Uchiha Madara wielded his staff to block the white light of the Sage Art: Dust Release, leaping towards Akihara Kagura! In an instant, the two engaged in close combat. The clash of the vacuum blade and the staff was heavy, and everyone watched the two main characters of the battle intently!

Uchiha Madara switched from defense to offense, forcing Akihara Kagura into close combat while exploiting the gaps to end him within the duration of his Limbo: Border Jail, all the while pressing on Kagura's time limit.

Because…

The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki possesses an immortal body!

Even if fatally wounded, he can heal rapidly! Uchiha Madara swung his staff at Kagura's head, leaving himself open, and in that moment struck Kagura's shoulder!

However, Kagura was still within the duration of Limbo: Border Jail! Uchiha Madara saw Kagura disappear and reappear in front of him, clearly still in an invulnerable state! Kagura instantly advanced, stabbing Madara in the chest with his vacuum blade!

"Hahahaha!"

Madara didn't mind his injury, pushing the blade out of his body, his chest healing instantly!

Madara continued to exchange his life for time, delaying Kagura's Limbo: Border Jail. "Six minutes and seventeen seconds left…"

Madara calculated in his mind, swinging his staff at Kagura again, getting his leg cut off in the process! "Madara!" Hashirama's eyes flashed with shock! "Don't worry!"

Madara didn't care about these injuries; his leg slowly regenerated, the power of the Six Paths granting complete resurrection, even if half his body was cut off!

"Five minutes and twenty-five seconds left…"

Madara's staff struck at Kagura's neck again, causing no harm but leaving a cut on his own chest! "Four minutes and sixteen seconds left…"

Madara's smile grew wider, unleashing his ninjutsu, a burst of flames hitting Kagura's body!

Kagura vanished in the flames, reappearing behind Madara, slicing off half his arm!

This life-for-time strategy…

Shocked all onlookers!

Madara seemed reckless, or perhaps being the new Sage of Six Paths, he didn't need to care about his life!

"Madara…"

Hashirama felt uneasy.

"Hashirama, don't worry…"

Madara kicked Kagura away, his shoulder regenerating instantly: "Becoming the Sage of Six Paths and gaining the immortality of the Ten-Tails' power, this battle will inevitably lose some elegance…"

"Three minutes and twenty-five seconds…"

"Two minutes and forty-one seconds…"

Madara charged at Kagura again, not wanting him to flee; he had to lure Kagura to stay!

"Is time running out?"

Kagura frowned, seemingly calculating his time, contemplating escape.

"Planning to run, kid?"

Madara grinned.

"Just hiding for a while…"

Kagura squinted: "Do you have other techniques to attack the entire ninja world?"

"Humph…"

Madara laughed contemptuously, clasping his hands together!

A tall tree sprouted from his back!

Its roots gripped the seabed, towering into the sky, bearing a red fruit, like a huge brain. As the tree appeared, the moon turned red!

Strangely…

The moon resembled the Ten-Tails' Rinne Sharingan!

But Madara didn't care, clasping his hands together, releasing a massive-scale jutsu!

"God: Birth of the World Tree!"

Thick vines emerged from the sea!

Not just this sea!

The entire ninja world sprouted vines! In big cities and small villages, vines appeared, causing panic!

A vine reached for Kagura!

Kagura slashed it with his vacuum blade!

"Kid! This is the legendary God Tree!"

Madara grinned at Kagura: "As long as you're in this world, you're within my attack range. Stay here and fight to the death, kid, you can't escape my pursuit…"

"…"

Kagura was shocked.

Immediately…

The shock vanished.

Kagura raised his hand, white light slicing through the vines, calmly stating: "Even so, the God Tree's attacks can't kill me…"

"Without Limitless Yomi, how long can you last?"

Madara charged at Kagura again, giving Tobirama a contemptuous look!

Madara knew the God Tree couldn't kill Kagura!

He used its vast attack range to intimidate Kagura, preventing his escape before Limitless Yomi's time ended!

Madara forced Kagura to fight for every second against the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!

As long as Kagura fought for every second…

The restricted space-time operation could begin!

Clearly…

Tobirama received Madara's hint!

A shadow of a Limbo clone appeared beside Tobirama, carving a bloody countdown on his arm!

"That bastard…"

Tobirama cursed quietly.

Observing the battle all along, he naturally noticed that each time Akihara Kagura was gravely injured, it seemed as though nothing had happened. He understood what this time meant. Did Uchiha Madara know about Akihara Kagura's invincibility period?

"The time is almost up, prepare to take action…"

Tobirama spoke coldly, "Kakashi, in fifty-seven seconds, use your space-time jutsu to neutralize Akihara Kagura's Flying Thunder God…"

"Understood!"

Hatake Kakashi kneeled on one knee at a distance, his eyes fixed on Akihara Kagura. He could not determine when Akihara Kagura would use his space-time jutsu and had to rely on this!

"I should prepare as well!"

Might Guy's body suddenly burst with a bright green chakra light!

"Sixth Gate, Gate of View: Open!"

Might Guy clenched his fist, his voice suddenly rising, and his chakra erupted again: "Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder: Open!"

At this moment…

Everyone couldn't help but focus on Might Guy's erupting chakra!

Just the chakra from opening the Seventh Gate gave Might Guy a presence that could challenge the Kage of a village in a life-or-death battle!

"This power is very strong…"

Tobirama frowned. He knew the immense strength and severe aftereffects of the Eight Gates Released Formation, and he spoke gravely, "But if you want to distort space, this might not be enough... If you can open the Eighth Gate... prepare at my countdown... but once the Eighth Gate is opened, your life might…"

"I have long been prepared to burn my youth!"

Might Guy clenched his fist tightly, his blue chakra surging like waves, ready to open the Eighth Gate at any moment: "However, this is my first time opening the Eighth Gate. I cannot be certain of its power; it might affect my companions above…"

"Nineteen seconds remaining…"

Tobirama counted the time, calculating the final moments, and then explained, "Do not worry about Madara, that guy is not our ally…"

Indeed, if Might Guy opened the Eighth Gate and killed both Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura, it would be a blessing for the entire ninja world.

Next…

This would be their key opportunity to eliminate Akihara Kagura.

Similarly…

This time…

Would also mark the moment Might Guy, this Konoha ninja, faced his destiny!

Yet, Might Guy's heart felt no tension. His body remained covered in blue chakra, and he clearly heard the countdown from the Second Hokage, Tobirama!

"Ten, nine, eight…"

As Tobirama counted down, the battle in the sky confirmed his hypothesis, as Akihara Kagura's speed increased, and his attacks became more fierce!

The vacuum blade lights in the sky were so fast they were hard to see!

Even with the Sharingan, Hatake Kakashi was astounded by Akihara Kagura's speed. Was this Akihara Kagura at full power?

"Are you ready? We need to prepare in advance…"

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Tobirama's forehead. He knew the coming moments would decide the fate of the ninja world!

Who knew…

Whether Might Guy could succeed…

But no matter what, they had no choice but to bet everything!

Tobirama's gaze shifted from the sky to Might Guy, counting down the last three seconds. His heart grew heavier!

"Three…"

"Two…"

"One!"

"Eighth Gate!"

"Gate of Death: Open!"

A crimson wave suddenly surged from Might Guy's body!

The immense momentum from this crimson wave shocked every ninja who witnessed it, causing a tempest even over the ocean!

Everyone was stunned by Might Guy's chakra aura!

Even Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Madara in the sky couldn't help but look at the red steam emanating from Might Guy!

In the next moment!

Might Guy's figure shot into the sky!

Might Guy's speed instantly elevated from the first to the fifth level, his rapid charge creating a pressure that immobilized Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura in the sky, forcing them to watch as Might Guy charged towards them!

The red surge around Might Guy turned into a dragon shape, rushing straight at Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura. This strike could almost kill them directly!

At this moment!

Might Guy became the savior of the entire ninja world!

Even many Konoha ninjas present could not believe that Might Guy, who always trained in bizarre ways around the village, would erupt with such terrifying chakra, a power that seemed enough to defeat anyone in the ninja world!

That guy…

Wasn't he only good at taijutsu?

Many ninjas even thought he had no real strength…

However, at this second…

Everyone's perception was overturned!

Perhaps, it wasn't that Might Guy was only good at taijutsu, but that only Might Guy was the best at taijutsu. The Eighth Gate Might Guy had gained power surpassing everyone, making even the Five Kage step back in awe!

This powerful force…

Was enough for Might Guy to kill anyone!

"This is Teacher Guy's ultimate move against Kakashi-sensei!"

Might Guy's disciple Rock Lee clenched his fists, his face full of excitement, even opening the Eight Gates himself in his excitement!

"Against me…"

Sweat appeared on Hatake Kakashi's face.

He…

What had he done to deserve this!

"Lee, are you also…"

Tsunade looked at the green steam emanating from Rock Lee.

Rock Lee quickly shook his head, speaking proactively, "I still can't open the Eighth Gate, I can only attempt to open the Seventh Gate for now…"

"That's terrifying enough…"

Tsunade recalled the scene when Might Guy opened the Seventh Gate.

Undoubtedly!

The Eight Gates Release Formation would be the ultimate technique of taijutsu ninja!

"However…"

"Once the Eighth Gate is opened…"

Rock Lee looked at Might Guy in the sky, his eyes welling with tears: "Guy-sensei's life will burn along with the red steam emanating from him..."

"This is youth... burning!"

Might Guy's figure swiftly charged toward the two figures in the sky! In that instant, the space around him seemed to distort from his speed!

"Space..."

"Is being distorted..."

Uchiha Madara was the first to notice the distortion of space. He saw that Akihara Kagura seemed equally unable to move, knowing that Kagura couldn't use his space-time technique at this moment. Unconcerned about the possibility of being injured by Might Guy, a grin spread across his face!

"Kid, your time is up!"

In the next moment! A flash of a red dragon's head streaked across the sky!

Uchiha Madara and Akihara Kagura were struck by Might Guy's figure at the same time! This heavy blow sent both Madara and Kagura crashing down from the sky, Madara's body twisting instantly! Even as the Sage of Six Paths...

Madara was gravely injured by Might Guy, who had opened all Eight Gates. His body even began to split, unable to withstand the tremendous impact despite having the life force of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. He felt an unprecedented pain!

However...

It was all worth it! Kagura, who had also taken the blow head-on, was nowhere to be seen. Uncertain of his fate, it was clear that Kagura's Limitless Yomi had ended!

Madara slumped beside the God Tree, slowly exhaling as his injuries began to recover more slowly after the blow.

Regardless...

The crisis in the Ninja World was averted!

A voice in Madara's mind suggested that absorbing the God Tree could quickly heal his injuries. Slowly, he reached out, reabsorbing the God Tree he had released into his body.

In the sky...

Might Guy's figure descended.

However, the ninja who had just executed the most powerful taijutsu attack seemed to turn to ash, the steam from the Eight Gates burning all his life force! Might Guy's life was like a brilliant flash of light, like a meteor streaking across the Ninja World, leaving a dazzling mark.

Undoubtedly...

Might Guy's appearance was crucial in defeating Akihara Kagura.

Madara, as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, had only pushed Kagura into a disadvantage, but Might Guy, opening the Death Gate, delivered the decisive blow to end the war!

"Universal Pull!"

Madara raised his hand, pulling the ash-like Might Guy to his side, and placed his hand on him!

"Madara, what are you doing!"

Tobirama Senju suddenly appeared beside Madara!

Madara ignored Tobirama, slowly releasing his Six Paths Chakra to reconstruct Might Guy's body.

"Such a frail body, like a candle in the wind?"

Madara looked at Might Guy, a proud smile appearing on his face: "That level of chakra, I acknowledge you!"

"At least in taijutsu, I've never seen a man as strong as you. I, Madara, am willing to call you the strongest!"

"To die here..."

Madara continued healing Might Guy, unabashedly praising him: "It would be too much of a waste for you to die here. Like Kagura, you are one of the most brilliant ninjas of this era..."

"Are you being kind?"

Tobirama watched Madara healing Might Guy, as if he had seen a rare animal, having never seen Madara value anyone before!

However...

The next moment! Tobirama noticed a shadow behind Madara!

"Wait..."

Tobirama's expression changed suddenly!

"Thanks for the compliment."

A calm and familiar voice came from behind Madara.

As the figure fully appeared, a blade suddenly flashed out, slicing Madara's body in half!

"When!"

Madara's upper body flew up, and as his lower half hit the ground, he saw the figure behind him!

Akihara Kagura!

This guy was still alive at this moment!

How could it be!

The time for the Yomi had ended...

"You... this guy..."

Madara's upper body floated, rapidly regenerating his lower half, his mind recalling the information on the Yomi!

The information on the Yomi...

Was deliberately provided by Kagura himself! The intel was false, either the duration exceeded ten minutes, or the cooldown time was much shorter!

"There are two things I forgot to tell everyone..."

Kagura smiled at Madara: "First, the cooldown time for the Yomi is three seconds, so I had already reset the time..."

"!!!"

Madara's eyes narrowed! He alone understood what this meant; to kill Kagura, they would need to attack him continuously for ten minutes and three seconds without any interruption longer than three seconds!

Because...

Kagura could reset Yomi's duration within three seconds!

However...

How could this be possible!

Kagura was a space-time jutsu user, capable of restricting others from using space-time techniques with his Rinnegan, having numerous chances to survive three seconds!

Because...

Few attacks in the Ninja World could kill Kagura...

Kagura's physical strength and recovery ability were formidable, able to withstand ordinary ninjutsu with his bare hands. Proficient in countless ninjutsu, he could counter any ordinary ninjutsu, and the only one who could harm him might be the current Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Madara!

This man...

Couldn't be killed!

The thought flashed through Madara's mind!

Because in their recent clash, Madara knew he could suppress Kagura, but Kagura's invincible eye technique, the Yomi, could cause him significant trouble. Perhaps his only advantage was his Six Paths immortal body!

"Oh, and one more thing..."

Kagura looked at Madara, a strange smile spreading across his face: "Madara, do you want to guess if I can learn to use the Eight Gates Formation?"
