Chapter 666 Desperate Strength

Three medical ninjas carried out a stretcher, intending to move Kai to the back. Just as they moved Kai's body, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he slowly woke up.

"Have I arrived in the afterlife...?"

Guy, who had just woken up, was still somewhat disoriented. Kakashi, hearing Guy's voice, darted to his side and exclaimed with delight,

"Kai! You're awake!!"

Upon seeing Kakashi, Guy's eyes widened instantly, and he jumped to his feet, exclaiming in surprise,

"Kakashi!? What are you doing here?!"

Kakashi paused for a moment, then realized that Guy still thought he was dead, so he quickly explained.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're still alive! We're still in Konoha!"

"Nani!?"

Upon learning from Kakashi that he was still alive, Guy looked on incredulously. He had opened the Gate of Death! His blood had been burned away; how could he not die?

Then, Kai was suddenly startled. If he wasn't dead, then what about Gigg?

After activating Night Kai, he almost lost consciousness, and he was unable to see what would happen next.

Thinking of this, Kai pushed aside Kakashi, who was looking at him with concern, and immediately saw Giggs not far ahead.

Seeing that apart from his slightly torn clothes and a little redness and swelling on his abdomen, Gigg still looked energetic, Kai's heart sank.

Is this all the effect he achieved with his full-force attack under the Death Gate? Is he even human?!

Looking at Giger, he was staring at his palm, seemingly lost in thought, completely ignoring the group of ninjas around him.

Even so, none of the ninjas dared to make a move at this moment.

They were all people who had personally experienced the power of the Death Gate. The Night Guy, which was devastating to them, was easily countered by this godlike man in front of them. This made them realize the reality that Gigg was simply not someone they, a group of ninjas, could contend with.

Even the Third Hokage and Danzo remained silent at this moment.

Just then, Giger suddenly clenched his fist, and the next second, surging blood flames erupted from Giger's body, even forming a pillar of blood flames that pierced through the sky.

The strange phenomena occurring around Gigg were so familiar to everyone present, especially Kai.

Gazing at Gigg, bathed in blood-red flames, Kai's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice,

"Death, the Gate of Death... He also knows the Eight Gates!!!"

Both are death gates, but compared to the blood-flaming Gigg, even a fool could see the difference between the two.

Looking at Giger's calm expression, there was not a trace of the pain that Kaina showed.

For Giger, opening the Death Gate was as simple as eating and drinking.

Giger, meanwhile, was still feeling the continuous surge of power within his body, and chuckled softly.

"Indeed, the Eight Gates Formation is quite suitable for me."

As a True Ancestor Fruit user, Gigg's blood energy is inexhaustible. He could stand here and burn for a year without burning it all off, not to mention that he can replenish his blood energy from the creatures around him at any time.

The final gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death, is tantamount to self-destruction for others, but for Giger, it is a top-tier secret technique with extremely high adaptability, negligible losses, and the ability to release blood energy to the maximum extent.

Lily looked at Giger with amazement. He had only been in this world for a short time, yet his strength had increased so much. She even thought that if Giger were placed in his duel with Joy Boy back then, Joy Boy would probably be beaten to death by Giger in just a few rounds.

Giger's Reincarnation Eyes gleamed brightly amidst the surging blood flames. He merely waved his sleeve, and the blood flames instantly dissipated, transforming into wisps of blood energy that rapidly flowed into Giger's body.

This scene made Kai swallow hard again. Could the blood energy released from the Gate of Death really be withdrawn?

Even more outrageous, Jig, who had clearly released the Death Gate, showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever. Even the redness and swelling on his abdomen had disappeared. Black light emanated from the torn parts of his clothes, and after the black light dissipated, his clothes became as smooth as ever again.

Giger looked up at Kai and smiled.

How does it feel to be brought back to life?

When Guy met Giggs's golden eyes, his body trembled involuntarily. Kakashi, who was behind him, thought that Guy was too weak to stand and quickly reached out to support Guy's waist.

Jig stepped forward, and all the ninjas took a step back in unison. Some were genuinely afraid of Jig, but others were not out of fear. They simply felt that when facing him, they couldn't control their bodies, and their retreat was purely out of instinct.

This is absolute suppression from higher life forms.

Kai gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said...

"You saved me, didn't you?"

Giger nodded and spread his hands.

"That's right. As the price for saving your life, I'll accept your Eight Gates cultivation experience."

"What?! You didn't know the Eight Gates before this?!"

The Third Hokage suddenly appeared in front of Kai, staring intently at Giggs. The next second, the Third Hokage did something that shocked everyone.

As the Third Hokage of Konoha, a figure of great importance in the entire ninja world, he actually bowed deeply to Giggs at a ninety-degree angle.

"Lord Jigsing, if I have offended you in any way before, it was the fault of the Third Hokage and has nothing to do with Konoha. Please forgive Konoha, and I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins!"

These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from the audience.

"Sandaime-sama!!"

Danzo stared intently at the Third Hokage's hunched back, his expression incredibly complex.

It's like this again; he's always one step ahead of me. He's always one step ahead of me...

Seeing the ninjas' teary eyes, Danzo felt even more distressed. He gritted his teeth, silently moved to a spot slightly behind the Third Hokage, and bowed to Giger as well.

Giger merely raised an eyebrow and said,

"What value do your two lives have to me? As for Konoha, it's just a village. I wouldn't bother coming all the way here to destroy such a place."

After saying that, Giger grabbed Lily's hand and disappeared in a flash, leaving the group of ninjas standing there dumbfounded.

.......

In a courtyard in Konoha, Giggs and Lily suddenly appeared in front of Naruto, who was staring blankly at a photograph.

Upon seeing Giger, Naruto was initially taken aback, but then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Brother Jig! You're back!!"
