In the Forest of Death, dozens of Konoha Jonin and Anbu members rushed anxiously toward the direction of the battle.
"The battlefield is just ahead. Everyone must be careful. The enemy is much stronger than we imagined." Hiashi Hyuga said solemnly, his Byakugan activated. "The Third Hokage is currently being suppressed."
Hiashi Hyuga didn't say one more thing: the enemy is very likely toying with the Third Hokage right now.
"I'll go support the Third Hokage first," Might Guy said, accelerating forward. The reason Might Guy didn't go to the Forest of Death beforehand was because he lacked reconnaissance abilities.
“Might Guy,” Hiashi Hyuga solemnly instructed, “Don’t underestimate him. He’s a master who can even suppress the Third Hokage. Open the Eight Gates before fighting him.”
………………………………………………
"Boom..." In the Death Forest, Wang Han followed the Third Hokage, who had burrowed underground, unhurriedly wielding a giant axe and repeatedly chopping at the ground, like playing whack-a-mole. However, Wang Han was attacking the Kage-level Third Hokage, and he was beating the Third Hokage so badly that the Third Hokage couldn't even peek out. For a moment, Wang Han also felt a bit playful, but it was a pity that he wasn't fighting Shimura Danzo.
Hiashi Hyuga's guess was correct; Wang Han was indeed toying with the Third Hokage, not using his full strength. With his cheat-like abilities, Wang Han could have easily struck the Third Hokage directly from the ground at an even faster speed, but he didn't. Instead, he deliberately made the Third Hokage dodge by the narrowest point each time, neither allowing him to surface nor stopping him.
The Third Hokage also noticed this. The black-armored man was using one hand to wield his axe and suppress him, while simultaneously using the other to easily break through his scattered Earth Release counterattacks. Just as he managed to create an Earth clone, the black-armored man instantly swung his axe twice, one shattering the clone, the other narrowly missing him. Clearly, the black-armored man wasn't using his full strength, but the Third Hokage was helpless. The black-armored man was toying with him, easily keeping him on the run with just one hand. "This situation must be broken."
'Someone else is coming. Who could it be?' Wang Han's ears twitched. He could hear the sound of someone rushing towards them from afar. Wang Han's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the sound came.
"Reinforcements have arrived, and he sensed it, so he was distracted. This is our chance." The Third Hokage saw Wang Han looking in the direction of Konoha Village and made his judgment. He quickly emerged from underground, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and charged towards Wang Han with a death-defying resolve. "We must seize him now; success or failure hinges on this moment."
"Careless. Trying to take us both down? No way, not even a window." The Third Hokage's actions drew Wang Han's attention back. Seeing the Third Hokage's fearless expression, Wang Han felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He immediately understood what the Third Hokage intended to do. In a flash, he appeared before the Third Hokage, kicking him away with lightning speed, interrupting the Third Hokage's hand seals. Then, he stared intently at the Third Hokage. The moment the Grim Reaper showed any sign of appearing, he would kill the Third Hokage, giving him no chance to catch him.
Wang Han had no idea whether he could withstand the soul-sealing technique. The infinite resurrection cheat didn't specify that his soul wouldn't be sealed, and he didn't want to wait in the sealed state for a cheat to break the seal. Who knew when he would be able to download it?
"Pfft... Too fast." The Third Hokage, who was kicked away by Wang Han and crashed into several large trees, spat out a mouthful of blood. The Reaper Death Seal was also broken by Wang Han's fierce kick. "I didn't even see the shadow of the opponent's attack, and I broke five ribs. My chakra was also disrupted by the backlash of the ninjutsu."
"Bearing the name of Hokage, for the sake of Konoha, I must stop you." As Wang Han walked towards him carrying a giant axe and stared intently at him, the Third Hokage, lying on the ground, murmured to himself and struggled to stand up again.
"Ah-da..." Suddenly, a green figure appeared on the battlefield, rushed towards Wang Han, and kicked him.
'Might Guy, a Jonin of high rank, in the fifth gate state of the Eight Inner Gates.'
'The Eight Gates Formation, a taijutsu technique, temporarily enhances speed, strength, and resilience by breaking through eight key acupoints in the body. The more barriers are broken through, the greater the enhancement, but it also has powerful side effects.'
Wang Han recognized the newcomer immediately upon seeing him. Facing Might Guy's flying kick, Wang Han raised his giant axe and directly met the oncoming foot with the axe blade. If Might Guy continued to kick like that, he would cut Wang Han in two.
"Konoha Power Whirlwind." Faced with Wang Han's response, Might Guy had no choice but to change his move, abandoning his attack on Wang Han and instead spinning a side kick towards the side of the giant axe.
Faced with Might Guy's spinning side kick, Wang Han merely twisted the axe handle, and the blade of his giant axe once again met Might Guy's side kick.
Seeing this, Might Guy smiled and continued kicking at the giant axe. Even honest people have moments of cunning. He had iron weights on his calves and was not afraid of the axe blade. He could kick away the black-armored enemy's weapon first.
"clang……"
"How is this possible?" The next moment, Might Guy looked at the giant axe in astonishment, which had only moved a little. His full-force kick in the fifth gate state was so easily blocked by the enemy in front of him with one hand holding the axe.
After blocking Might Guy's attack, Wang Han stepped forward and kicked sideways before Might Guy could make his next move.
"Boom..." Wang Han's side kick was extremely fast. Might Guy only saw the shadow of the leg and had no time to block it. He was kicked solidly and sent flying to the side of the seriously injured Third Hokage.
The heavily injured Third Hokage, barely able to stand, said to Might Guy, who had been kicked to his side, "Guy, his taijutsu and sensory abilities are very strong, and he wasn't even using his full strength."
