Chapter 665 He Chooses to Confront Them Head-on

Facing the Night Kai rushing towards him with overwhelming force, a rare look of seriousness appeared between Giger's brows.

Giger could sense the intense fluctuations in space. The fact that Night Kai could distort space with just physical strength was enough to warrant his attention.

Even the usually nonchalant Lily looked surprised. She had always thought that humans in this world were physically weak, but Kai had completely overturned that perception.

In fact, among the physical prowess fighters she has encountered in the world of One Piece, apart from a few with special Devil Fruit powers, the rest are basically unable to influence space with their physical strength alone.

Kai's roar echoed through the sky as he charged in front of Giger, delivering a powerful kick to Giger's abdomen, his leg wreathed in surging blood flames.

Gigg's Reincarnation Eyes shone brightly like the sun. He let out a low shout and slashed his demon sword horizontally at Kai's feet. Thick black Haki lightning burst forth, tearing countless hideous ravines into the earth.

The already dilapidated environment could no longer withstand the impact of the clash between the two sides. The earth continued to crack open. None of the ninjas watching the battle had the ability to fly, so they had to retreat desperately. At this moment, even a second's delay would mean being swallowed by the bottomless cracks.

Today, they witnessed firsthand the extent of individual strength. Normally, these people could be considered ninjas among ninjas, but compared to Guy, they were nothing but rookie ninjas, not to mention the incredibly strong Giggs.

Throughout the battle, Giger has displayed remarkable ease and control. In their place, Kai's first Evening Elephant attack would have wiped them out on the spot.

By this time, they had retreated to a relatively safe distance under the leadership of the Third Hokage and Danzo. However, this also prevented them from seeing the battle taking place. Fortunately, among the ninjas who came out this time were members of the Hyuga clan. They stepped forward, activated their Byakugan, and looked in the direction they had just fled.

However, upon seeing the battlefield, the Hyuga clan members all widened their eyes in unison, their faces filled with fear.

Seeing the expressions on the Hyuga clan members' faces, everyone's hearts tightened immediately. Kakashi asked anxiously,

"What's the situation there now? Is Kai alright?!"

One of the Hyuga clan members swallowed hard and slowly spoke.

“Gig Saint doesn’t seem to be seriously injured, but Kai is lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.”

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. Then, a thud was heard, and everyone looked over to see someone kneeling on the ground, their face filled with despair.

He wasn't the only one in despair; even the Third Hokage and Danzo, the two leaders, bowed their heads helplessly at this moment.

At this moment, the Hyuga clan member suddenly exclaimed in surprise,

"Gig Saint is about to make a move against Kai!"

Back on the battlefield, after a clash with Night Kai, Giger's clothes were no longer as clean as before, and his abdomen was badly damaged, with some redness and swelling visible on the exposed skin.

Although he had blocked Kai's "Big Kick" with Muramasa's slash, the force still managed to blast him in the abdomen.

Giger raised his hand and touched his abdomen, then slowly walked to Kai's side, who was lying flat on the ground, his entire body looking charred.

The opening of the Gate of Death nearly dried up his blood, and the foot that Kai had used to launch the attack was already showing signs of turning to sand.

This is truly burnt out.

Looking down at Kai, whose life was about to slip away, Giger suddenly bent down and pointed a finger at Kai's neck.

A crimson line of blood flowed from his fair fingertip into Kai's body, instantly bringing him a surge of blood energy—a vigorous life force.

With the infusion of blood and energy, Kai's charred body recovered at a visible speed, and his heartbeat, which had been so faint as to be almost inaudible, became vigorous and powerful once again.

Giger slowly stood up. At that moment, Lily descended from the sky and landed beside Giger. She looked Giger over and said,

"It's been a long time since I've seen you look so disheveled. Are you injured?"

As she spoke, Lily reached out and gently rubbed Giger's stomach. Giger raised his hand and pressed Lily's hand down, saying irritably,

"Your hands are so cold, why are you touching them like that?"

Lily pouted, but instead of pulling her hand away, she forcefully rubbed Giggs's hand a few more times, muttering as she did so.

"What's wrong with touching him? Are you going to blame me for not helping you earlier? It's all because you insisted on showing off. You have so many abilities, why did you have to use your body to force a fight with him? Would you be happy if I actually took action?"

Giger laughed upon hearing this, and pulled Lily into his arms, poking her nose as he spoke.

"Just kidding, actually I really enjoy it when you rub my belly."

"Hmph! Then I'm not going to rub it!"

Despite saying this, Lily showed no sign of pulling her hand away. Giger squeezed her hand, and she continued to rub it. Feeling the gentle movements in Lily's hand, Giger's lips curled up even more.

At this moment, he truly felt that this Naruto journey was still very meaningful, since he would never have seen Lily like this on Mary Geoise anyway.

Just as Giger was enjoying himself, the Third Hokage and Danzo finally returned with a group of ninjas.

Kakashi bypassed the Third Hokage and Danzo, rushing to the front and shouting,

"Kai!!!"

As soon as the group arrived, Lily immediately and silently slid off Giger's arms and to the side, her face regaining its usual aloof expression.

Facing this group of spoilsport, Giger raised an eyebrow, lifted up the still unconscious Kai from the ground, and casually tossed him toward Kakashi, who was still quite a distance away.

Seeing Guy flying towards him, Kakashi rushed forward, leaped into the air and caught him, finally landing smoothly in a princess carry.

Upon landing, Kakashi quickly pressed his face against Guy's chest. Hearing the strong heartbeat beneath, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then turned and shouted.

"Medical ninja! Come quick!"

Upon seeing this, the Third Hokage quickly ordered three medical ninjas to come forward and treat Guy. However, after the three medical ninjas arrived at Guy's side and checked him over, they concluded that "Guy is fine except for some superficial injuries."

Upon hearing this conclusion, anyone with even a slight understanding of the Eight Gates Formation would be completely dumbfounded.

What?! Kai didn't die after opening the Gate of Death; he only suffered some minor injuries?

Could it be that Kai has already improved the Death Gate?!

Danzo, who had thought of this at the same time as the Third Hokage, was already considering how to obtain an improved version of the Eight Gates training method from Guy.

However, upon thinking of Jig's existence, Danzo immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.
