Kakashi spoke a sentence as he came to from his bleeding-out state. He sounded confused.
What made things worse was that his half-righteous explanation actually got a reaction from Ao—who said, "You're right!"
Oh my god. There's no escaping this?
Kidney deficiency confirmed!
[Might Guy: Hey! Does this really work? No wonder Kakashi kept avoiding me! He's hollow! I'll boost him right away!]
[Hatake Kakashi: ??? ...]
[Senju Tsunade: ? ? ? ]
[Nohara Rin: ???]
[Namikaze Minato: ???]
[Uchiha Obito: ???]
[Hatake Sakumo: !!???]
[Might Dai: !!???]
Konoha was stunned. That strange "medicine" was shockingly effective.
And across the entire ninja world, everyone began to recover their senses.
It seemed… they were both men again.
[Hatake Kakashi: I can explain... will you listen?]
[Hatake Sakumo: My dear son! I am sorry for you...]
[Might Dai: Guy... Don't leave any regrets in your youth! Dad supports you!]
[Senju Tsunade: ??? Damn, that's a lot to process!]
[Namikaze Minato: No wonder Gai always came to see Kakashi... wow!]
Might Dai—who had created half this chaos—had no idea what was actually happening. For him, life was all about passionate youth and physical training.
[The God-level Heaven System: Congratulations to the Naruto world for drawing the punishment! Kidney deficiency worldwide! Duration: 1 day!]
[Everyone: !!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Uchiha Madara: Damn it! This damned system must be peeking at the screen!]
[Hatake Kakashi: Hahahaha, you guys laughed at me—you deserve it!]
[Uchiha Obito: You admitted you were weak!]
[Hatake Kakashi:...]
Are you still my good brother? Why are you betraying me like this?
[Senju Hashirama: Hmm… my waist suddenly tingles and I feel a little lazy… this is strange.]
[Senju Tobirama: It is indeed possible to detect bodily abnormalities clearly!]
[Fourth Raikage: Hah, so this is what kidney deficiency is like. I won't laugh at you anymore—you're miserable!]
[Mei Terumi: I just want to ask—do women get this too?]
[Uchiha Madara: Nonsense! Aren't we all women now?!?]
[Mei Terumi: Oh right. By the way, Ms. Madara, could you take a photo to show me how majestic you are?]
[Uchiha Madara: Get out!]
[Mei Terumi: Okay, sister~]
[Uchiha Madara: ...]
[Senju Hashirama: You dare mock my "Madara"? I can't stand it!]
[Uzumaki Mito: ??? Then whose family am I in? I'm leaving.]
[Shukaku: I can't help it—I'm dying laughing. Fortunately, we tailed beasts don't get these punishments!]
[All humans in the ninja world: ???]
[Yang Kurama: I have a bad feeling—what about you, Yin Kurama?]
[Yin Kurama: I feel it...]
[Matatabi: Haha, can I apply to beat up Shukaku?]
[Ding! Sorry, animals don't undergo gender change. Um... So, I'll give you kidney deficiency care!]
[Yin & Yang Kurama: !!! Shukaku! Try my Tailed Beast Bamb first!]
[Various tailed-beast banter follows—everyone's furious, joking, or utterly baffled.]
[The God-level Heaven System: Start posting questions!]
[The God-level Heaven System: Question 3 — Why didn't Might Guy die?]
A. Might Guy dodged instantly after waking.
B. Rock Lee arrived in time to save Might Guy.
C. Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God was too late to take Guy away, but he blocked the Truth-Seeking Orb for Guy.
D. Hatake Kakashi used Kamui to send the Truth-Seeking Orb into Kamui space.
[The God-level Heaven System: Correct answer rewards the Eight Gates training technique (non-exchangeable). Wrong answer penalty: unknown.]
[The God-level Heaven System: This is a quick-answer question. You may answer twice. Two wrong answers and the entire ninja world will be punished! Quick response starts in one minute.]
[Might Guy: Wow—the Eighth Gate has appeared!]
[Hatake Kakashi: Life-ending ninjutsu...]
[Senju Tobirama: ...It's the Eight Gates. If you don't open it, you die; if you open it, you might kill others and yourself.]
[Might Dai: How did you know?!]
[Senju Tobirama: ...There's no hope.]
[Hatake Kakashi: Actually, I'm curious about what Kamui did...]
[Fourth Raikage: I think it should be C. I still remember Minato's yellow flash vividly—he was unbelievably fast!]
[Mei Terumi: How fast?]
[Rasa: Is Minato faster than you, or are you both equal?]
[Ōnoki: What kind of speed is that?]
[Namikaze Minato: No—Raikage is still faster. You are faster; I'm not as fast as you.]
[The God-level Heaven System: Please start answering!]
[The God-level Heaven System: Shimura Danzō has successfully answered the first question! Please start answering!]
[Senju Hashirama: Damn you—you're peeking at the screen and answering, aren't you?!]
[Senju Tobirama: Big Brother, don't think I didn't see your finger pressing the answer button...]
[Senju Hashirama: !!! I didn't!]
[Uchiha Madara: You brat Danzō, think carefully—if you answer wrong again, I'll tear out your tendons and skin you alive!]
[Shimura Danzō: ...I... I think the Raikage is right. Minato's speed could make C possible. I choose C.]
[The God-level Heaven System: Judging Shimura Danzō's answer: C]
[The God-level Heaven System: Shimura Danzō answered incorrectly. Punishment: loss of one three-tomoe Sharingan.]
[Senju Tobirama: I remember a three-tomoe Sharingan sells for 10 million gold coins a pair, so one is 5 million. The system gives half the price—2.5 million gold coins? My disciple, do you have ten pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan? Why not sell them for one billion gold coins to revive me? I promise to make you Hokage!]
[Shimura Danzō: ...]
Fuck me—I answered four times.
I lost one single-tomoe, two double-tomoe, and one triple-tomoe... Even with lots of Sharingan, it's no joke.
I've thought it over a long time... I'll just say it.
Once the Eight Gates are opened, you can't stop. You can only ask questions and answer them before the Gates are opened.
You must finish the Q&A before you open the final gate, otherwise, even Guy would feel disrespected.
Now that the Eight Gates are open, there is no turning back or regret. This is Guy's youth.
So I set the Q&A session to start while seven gates were open... as my respect for Guy. The next kick could kill a country.
If I hadn't kicked the wrong way—if my body hadn't collapsed under the strain—then none of this would have happened...
So please be patient. I will definitely write about this kick today.
