Master, Please Become a Hokage

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Might Duy's eyes.

It was a reminiscence of the past, and also... a premonition of death.

When a person is about to leave, there are always various omens, and Might Duy was no exception.

Sarutobi Ryo's heart skipped a beat, but he still prepared to wait for Might Duy to finish speaking before trying to dissuade him.

"The First Hokage-sama said... each generation has its own things to do, don't be too impatient... What I can do is today's matter. As for tomorrow's matters, leave them to the people of tomorrow..."

Sarutobi Ryo: "!"

Might Duy's words couldn't help but remind Sarutobi Ryo of Senju Nawaki.

Looking at the man with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into crescents, about to go to his death generously...

Sarutobi Ryo still wanted to make one last effort: "The principle is like this, but... the current Konoha needs someone like Duy-sensei alive even more, so that the village can be changed for the better..."

"..."

Might Duy was silent.

Then, a startling brilliance appeared in his eyes.

"Ryo-shosama, the Will of Fire is to protect important people or things. And to truly save all the children, one needs to lead by example, illuminating their path forward with their life..."

The establishment of Konoha was originally to protect the children.

Later, the children had to die for Konoha.

Might Duy wasn't stupid, how could he not see this point.

Having experienced the early construction process of Konoha, he understood the twisted iteration of the Will of Fire even more.

Therefore, Might Duy was prepared to sacrifice himself, so that Guy and the others would understand the true meaning of the Will of Fire.

Afterwards, Might Duy smiled freely, and the aura around his body began to surge.

The Eight Gates Formation...

"Ryo-shosama, our village does have many problems. But... after seeing you, and everyone's efforts, I believe... the village will definitely become better and better, until it finds its original intention... and, I believe, you will definitely become an excellent Hokage!"

... Open!

The violent aura surged, and then converged.

Might Duy restrained his overly powerful and violent power.

The next second.

The ground beneath his feet cracked, and he dashed out like a thunderbolt...

Chapter 70. The Eight Gates Formation!

South of the Grass Country, hundreds of kilometers away, in the heartland of the Fire Country.

Might Duy ran swiftly.

From stepping out of a giant pit with one foot, to being able to control his power well, it only took a dozen seconds.

By the time Might Duy adapted to his current speed, he also sensed the specific location of Guy and the other two.

......

"Crap..."

In the forest, Guy, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui were surrounded.

50 Anbu slowly approached, gradually encircling them in a leisurely manner.

"Why are there so many Kirigakure Anbu?!"

Guy and the others hid behind a rock.

The three children looked extremely frightened.

The number of opponents was as many as 50.

What kind of mission would make the Kirigakure Anbu go out in full force?

"With this kind of formation, the Third Mizukage must have personally come out!"

Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses, his expression becoming ferocious.

It can be said that Ebisu was a very intelligent Chunin with rich theoretical knowledge.

He quickly guessed that the main person was the Third Mizukage.

"To think... we'd run into the Third Mizukage! Tch..." Genma Shiranui had a senbon needle in his mouth, and sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.

Guy slowly stuck his head out, and soon, he saw a man surrounded by many Kirigakure Anbu.

He looked about 70 years old, with an old face, a generation older than the Third Hokage-sama.

This kind of person had survived from the Warring States Period and was a contemporary of the First and Second Hokage.

According to history.

The Third Mizukage was about the same age as the Second Mizukage, and both were the right-hand men of the First Mizukage, Byakuren.

It was just that later, Hozuki Gengetsu, who had better personality and ability, took over as Mizukage.

The introverted Third Mizukage served as an assistant.

What he lacked was not ability, but popularity.

Of course, the so-called popularity was also in comparison to the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.

And the Bloody Mist was created by the Third Mizukage single-handedly.

Some say that the Third Mizukage was dissatisfied with the First Mizukage Byakuren's arrangement, allowing Hozuki Gengetsu to become the Second Mizukage.

As for whether the matter was true or false, it could only be buried in history.

"Damn it..."

Guy clenched his fists.

Although he had already begun to cultivate the Eight Gates, he could currently only open up to the Fourth Gate. If he barely opened the Fifth Gate, his body would at most only be able to unleash one move before his bones broke.

Faced with the encirclement of as many as 50 elite Kirigakure Anbu, wanting to break through was a fool's dream.

"What should we do..."

Just as Guy and the others were panicking.

Swish!

A figure landed lightly in the forest like a feather.

"Dad?!" When Guy saw the person who came, he suddenly widened his eyes.

His father, Might Duy, appeared here.

And...

"Dad, you..."

"Guy, the moment to release the 'Self-Imposed Restriction' has arrived..."

Might Duy turned his head, raised his thumb, and smiled at his son Guy.

These words, when heard by Ebisu and Genma Shiranui, were just a inexplicable sentence.

However, Guy knew the meaning of these words.

Reddened skin, pale eyes.

And... the blood-colored steam coming from his body, this was clearly the effect of burning the Eight Gates Formation.

The so-called Self-Imposed Restriction.

Is to set a difficult goal for yourself in advance, and then work hard to surpass it.

This is the superficial meaning.

In fact, the deeper meaning of this sentence refers to... striving to become stronger is not to surpass others, to compete for strength.

But... to protect important people or things!

Which is the true meaning of the Will of Fire.

If you want to use the Eight Gates Formation, you must add a "Self-Imposed Restriction" condition on it.

And now, the next generation has encountered a dilemma.

It was the moment for the previous generation to burn themselves!

"Hmm?!"

The Third Mizukage, who originally planned to completely eliminate the three little bugs to prevent them from leaking their whereabouts, slightly opened his eyes.

"What kind of move is this?"

Even though he had lived for too long, it did not mean that the Third Mizukage knew about the Eight Gates Formation.

Uchiha Madara was also because he had too much combat experience, and accidentally heard about it.

Swish!

The next moment, Sarutobi Ryo also arrived at the scene.

It was very reasonable that Might Duy easily surpassed him using Swift Release to travel.

After all, the Eight Gates is an unconventional, non-common sense ultimate taijutsu, and it also represents the blooming of a person's self-burning life!

"Duy-sensei, please feel free to attack."

Sarutobi Ryo guarded Guy and the other two, reminding Might Duy not to have any concerns.

"..."

Might Duy nodded slightly, concentrated his mind, and focused all his energy on controlling the release of the Eight Gates Formation.

The next moment, the aura surged, like a typhoon passing through.

Just the overflow of aura blew away all the surrounding Kirigakure Anbu.

"Morning Peacock!!"

Without any nonsense, Might Duy's figure flashed, and he came directly in front of the Third Mizukage.

This was also the strongest enemy he had encountered in his life.

But so what.

20 years of hard training, welcoming this moment, even if a god blocked the way in front of him, he would completely smash him!

Boom boom boom...! ! !

The fists at six times the speed of sound ignited the air, erupting with the roar of a tank gun.

The orange-red fireball, because all eight gates were opened, turned into blood-colored tail feathers, and the sky was dyed red.

After Guy's countless air fists bombarded, a large area was cleared in the forest ahead.

More than a dozen Kirigakure Anbu instantly turned into meat sauce.

This scene shocked everyone.

And the Third Mizukage who was killed turned into a puddle of water.

It was an exchange of a water clone and a water replacement!

Might Duy didn't have Byakugan and Sharingan, so it was natural that he might make mistakes.
