The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

The aftermath of the explosion continued to hit the barrier, creating cracks in the Four Purple Flame Array barrier that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had hastily set up.

As a "Ninjutsu Professor" or "Ninjutsu Doctor" who is proficient in all the ninjutsu of Konoha, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen can of course use the Four Purple Flame Formation, and even the higher-level Four Red Yang Formation is within his grasp. However, with his strength, it is still a bit difficult for him to complete the barrier that should have been used by four people alone. Moreover, this barrier was also cast in a hurry by him without any prior preparation. Therefore, its strength is inferior to that of a normal four-person barrier.

Therefore, after the Four Purple Flame Array barrier held out for about five breaths, it was quietly shattered by the impact of the aftermath of the explosion.

However, this was enough to protect the audience seats. This time was enough for the Anbu ninjas present to set up other more powerful defensive barriers.

It was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who decisively used the Four Purple Flame Formation to block the initial explosion in time. Otherwise, Konoha would have become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world...!

In the smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion, Mei Terumi, who was in half-tailed beast form, was initially pushed backwards by the shock wave of the explosion, but she quickly stopped the retreating trend and then spread her perception forward, looking for the location of Might Dai.

As for Might Dai, he also quickly stabilized his body, but he stayed where he was and took a defensive posture. After all, he had no perception ability at all, and in the current invisible environment, he was at an extreme disadvantage!

More importantly, he first maintained the six-gate state for a period of time and performed "Morning Peacock", and was seriously injured by a heavy punch from Mei Terumi, and now he is using "Daytime Tiger" in the seven-gate state!

Although his physical strength after nearly twenty years of training was enough to support him to open the eighth death gate, unfortunately, his talent for physical skills was not very good. Opening six or seven gates in a short moment was not a big deal, but maintaining six or even seven gates for a long time would make his body unable to bear it.

At this moment, his body seemed to have been pushed to the edge of the limit. Every inch of muscle and every bone seemed to be wailing in pain. The severe pain came like a tide, wave after wave, with no sign of stopping.

From the top of his head to his toes, every cell in Matt Dai's body was immersed in this unbearable torture, transmitting trembling pain signals all the time...!

And now, he can still stand here firmly, maintaining the state of seven gates and posing a defensive posture, all thanks to the strong belief inspired by the big bowl of chicken soup that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen drank some time ago...!

(In the later period, Might Guy could open six or even seven doors like a piece of cake, and he could be alive and kicking again after a short recovery.)

.........

.........

.........

"Found it!" Mei Terumi's mind moved. In this dim smoke-covered environment, she had already captured the location of Might Dai.

Of course, she could also feel that Mighty Dai was in a state like a candle in the wind at this moment, but she did not delay at all and wait until Mighty Dai could not hold on any longer.

After all, she is the perfect Six-Tails Jinchūriki of the Hidden Mist Village, with the strength to be fearless of everything!!!

Moreover, for a true ninja like Might Dai, defeating him head-on is the greatest honor that Mei Terumi can give him, and it is also the greatest respect for him!!!

"boom!"

A dull crashing sound was heard from the smoke and dust. The next second, a figure wrapped in blue flames broke through the smoke and flew out. The blue flames also slowly dissipated as the figure flew out...!

It was Mei Terumi who appeared silently beside Might Dai, and knocked him into the air with an uppercut, then immediately jumped up and followed up with a super powerful punch blessed with Boiling Release.

Might Dai, who was already at the end of his strength, was still in the state of seven gates, but he still couldn't react in time. He was hit by Mei Terumi's combination of punches in an instant, and he spurted blood and flew backwards...!

So, the scene where Might Guy flew out from the smoke and dust just now appeared...!

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and Might Dai hit the already shaky and overwhelmed wall at the edge of the venue like a cannonball.

In an instant, dust flew and rubble splashed everywhere. The poor wall finally couldn't hold on under such a fierce impact and collapsed, turning into ruins. Might Dai himself was buried in a large amount of rubble, and under these repeated blows, he could no longer withstand the severe pain in his body. His consciousness gradually became blurred, and everything in front of him became darker and darker...!

Immediately, Might Dai lost consciousness and fainted...!

The battle is over!

The outcome is decided! ! !

-----------------

While Mei Terumi and Might Dai were fighting fiercely, the Hyuga clan branch, led by Hyuga Mukai, also began their actions.

On the night that Kiyoshi arrived in Konoha, he had already secretly met with Hyuga Mukai and reached an agreement with the Hyuga branch family.

Afterwards, Kiyoshi created a shadow clone, which sneaked into the Hyuga clan's territory in the middle of the night. Under the leadership of Hyuga Mukai, he helped a total of 22 Hyuga branches, including Hyuga Mukai, to lift the "bird in a cage" curse.

For ordinary ninjas, the "Bird in a Cage" seal is extremely complicated. Even if the Hyuga clan ancestor who developed the "Bird in a Cage" seal was taken out of the Pure Land, or even if the Uzumaki clan who was proficient in sealing techniques was asked to handle it, it might not be possible to remove the "Bird in a Cage" seal.

After all, the "Bird in a Cage" curse targets the most mysterious part of the human body, the brain, and when the Hyuga clan developed the "Bird in a Cage" curse, they never thought of the possibility of actively removing it...!

However, for Qing Si, who is proficient in Yin-Yang Escape, has Six Paths-level strength, and has inherited all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, the "Bird in a Cage" curse is just that.

So, it didn't take too long before Qingsi removed the "bird in a cage" curse engraved on the foreheads of the twenty-two Hyuga branches...!
