"It seems they are companions from the Village. What happened?"
The Anbu Captain saw that Satoru knew them, so he stopped his preparations to act.
"Anbu-sama, quickly save my dad! He's fighting the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist!"
When Guy saw the mask, he immediately felt like a saviour had arrived.
Everyone was greatly astonished by the words. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist?
How could they be here?
"Stop talking, lead the way."
After Satoru carefully sensed and confirmed they were not enemies in disguise, he came to their side. After forming hand seals, he patted them.
Might Guy and the other two only felt a pat, and then their physical strength slowly returned, as if their previous fatigue was fake.
Hearing Satoru's words, they also nodded to the Anbu members, turned around, and led the way.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Wu, send the intelligence to Hokage-sama, request backup."
Involving a Ninja of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, the Anbu Captain had to take it seriously.
That was the most elite unit of the Hidden Mist.
Satoru secretly gave a thumbs up for this; such an approach made teammates feel secure.
"Yes."
Wu summoned a flying eagle, tied the intelligence to its leg, and had it fly back to Konoha with the intelligence.
Caw!
"We're here, but the battle seems to be over."
They finally arrived at the battlefield, looking at the desolate, ravaged terrain, with a hundred-meter radius destroyed.
"Dad."
Might Guy immediately noticed Maito Dai lying on the ground and instantly pounced on him.
Satoru also came closer. That familiar jumpsuit was only left with a small piece covering his privates, and his whole body was like charcoal, with his eyes rolled back and wide open.
It was clear he had fought with all his might.
"Let the senior rest in peace," Satoru patted Might Guy's shoulder.
He greatly admired Dai's actions, so he had no intention of reading his memories to obtain the Eight Gates.
And the Village would not allow it either.
"Longsword: Nuibari's owner, Kuriarare Kushimaru; Bluntdraw: Kabutowari's owner, Akebino Jinin; Blastsword: Shibuki's owner, Munashi Jinpachi; and Twin Swords: Hiramekarei's owner, Augustus."
Meanwhile, the Anbu Captain and the others looked at the other four corpses and the Ninja tools beside them, all with incredulous expressions.
"Who exactly was he?"
They looked at Maito Dai, their eyes filled with shock.
"Be on guard, three more have not been found, they might not be dead."
The Anbu Captain, a veteran of many battles, issued an order after regaining his composure.
The others also vigilantly looked around, beginning to search for possible existing enemies.
Hearing the Anbu Captain's words, Satoru also reined in his emotions and maximised his perception.
A minute later, after confirming that his perception method had not found any enemies, he stopped searching.
"Captain, no enemies found," he said.
"We haven't found any either."
"There are no traces of the other three around either; they have probably escaped."
Other perception Ninja and searching Ninja summarised their intelligence.
The Anbu Captain nodded: "Clean up the battlefield. Do not leak any information."
"Yes."
"We happen to be from the intelligence department and are prepared. Leave the bodies to us to handle."
Dokuro said.
The Anbu Captain nodded.
Then Satoru pulled out a scroll and slowly opened it. On it were a series of Jutsu runes, with the character for 'corpse' written in the middle.
Wu – Yin – Tiger…
As the hand seals were completed, the Jutsu in the scroll spread over Maito Dai's body, covering him before slowly being absorbed into the scroll.
He tied up the scroll and handed it to the Anbu Captain.
The others also completed their tasks one after another.
And the Anbu, after processing the four Ninja swords, carried them on their backs.
All this, Might Guy and his two teammates could only watch helplessly.
Might Guy looked at the Anbu members, his eyes very bright. He walked up to the Anbu Captain and bravely said: "Anbu-sama, can I join Anbu?"
"Hmm? To join Anbu, you must first become a Chunin, and then apply to Hokage-sama. I can't make that decision," the Anbu Captain smiled.
Might Guy's dad single-handedly killed four Hidden Mist Jonin elites. In his opinion, Might Guy had that potential. If he were the Hokage, he would have accepted him.
And Satoru was very speechless.
Ebisu and Shiranui Genma were also speechless.
Satoru said: "Might Guy, don't disturb the Anbu's time. The most important thing now is to take these bodies and Ninja tools back. We can talk about other things back in the Village; it's not safe here."
"Yes."
"Let's go, back to the Village. Stay alert."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Though Might Guy was sad, he still knew what to do now and followed his teammates.
"Oh, right, regarding the Jutsu I just cast on you, make sure to rest well for a day when you get back to let your body recover. Don't exercise!"
Satoru thought of something and told Might Guy and the others.
"What kind of Jutsu was that? Will there be side effects?" Ebisu became nervous upon hearing this.
Just a moment ago, their stamina felt boundless. Now, hearing Satoru's words, would there be significant side effects?
Shiranui Genma also frowned, analysing the Jutsu from earlier: "That wasn't an elemental Ninjutsu, nor was it a medical Ninjutsu. Currently, there are no adverse effects on the body, so was it a Genjutsu?"
"Oh, oh, as expected of you, Genma, always so calm, and your analysis is strong. That's right, it was a Genjutsu called Self-Inflation.
This Genjutsu makes your brain send incorrect signals to your body, making your body believe it's in peak condition.
In this state, the body unconsciously squeezes cells to provide energy, which is a form of overdrawing on the body.
So, it requires some time to recover!" Satoru said with a smile.
In school, the two of them were honour students; they instantly understood the general principle.
Only Might Guy remained clueless.
His two teammates knew Might Guy's nature and put all their effort into making Might Guy feel the need for a day of rest, reminding him of Maito Dai, which finally made Might Guy stop his idea of igniting his youth and continuing to train.
"Might Guy, what a big-headed, sunny man, and very meticulous, more so than Kakashi."
Satoru glanced at Might Guy out of the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Might Guy had accepted the fact of his father's death. He didn't brush off his teammates' words; instead, he responded actively.
It was as if he were saying not to worry about him.
From many details in the original work, Satoru felt that Might Guy was very meticulous, especially regarding emotions.
This was a man full of passion, yet not lacking in carefulness.
Then he thought of the Jutsu from earlier, Self-Inflation, a Genjutsu he had hastily developed. It was a form of self-hypnosis, he supposed, and it seemed to work quite well on others.
However, it wouldn't work on enemies, only on trusted individuals.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as they, the classmates, were chatting, another team of Anbu Ninja appeared ahead. After communicating, they learned that this was the requested backup.
Soon, they returned to Konoha.
Everyone wrote and submitted their mission reports, then returned to their respective homes to rest.
You ask if their Analysis Team doesn't have to work?
No, they don't.
Satoru had thought there would be an opportunity to analyse the Jonin's bodies and gain some Jonin experience, but it seemed there was no hope.
So, after completing his mission, he went to Ichiraku Ramen again for a large bowl.
And exchanged some feelings with Ayame.
