Marvel: Devour to Evolve From Naruto

-----

-----

Pipa Juzo's gaze was ice-cold.

He raised his Executioner's Blade high.

In an instant, he vanished from where he stood.

The next moment, he reappeared—right in front of Might Guy and his two companions.

Mist Body Flicker!

Just then, a green figure appeared.

Like a whirlwind, it landed in front of the three.

"Huff... Huff... I made it just in time!"

Might Duy stood there, his entire body radiating green chakra.

To get there quickly, he had even opened the Fifth Gate!

"Dad?!"

Seeing the familiar figure, Might Guy gasped in shock.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"You're just a Genin! These guys are all Jonin!"

"And they're the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—there's no way you can take them on alone!"

Might Duy's eyes remained resolute as he stared down the enemy.

"I have the Eighth Gate… The Gate of Death!"

Might Guy's pupils contracted.

"But that move…"

He couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence.

That technique was a suicidal last resort.

Once it was activated, whether the enemy died or not, Might Duy would not survive.

Might Duy tilted his head slightly, raised his thumb, and flashed a bright white-toothed grin.

"Now is the time... to protect, even if it costs my life!"

As soon as he spoke, his entire body was instantly engulfed in crimson flames.

The Eighth Gate—The Gate of Death!

Not just Might Guy.

Even Ron, who was hovering mid-air, was caught off guard.

All he saw was Might Duy charging forward—straight into the midst of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

At first, he focused on buying time.

Holding off the enemies long enough for Might Guy and the others to escape.

But once their silhouettes disappeared into the distance…

Might Duy unleashed his full power.

The true brilliance of the Eight Gates shone through.

One versus Seven—A complete massacre.

Ron's enhanced vision couldn't even keep up.

All he saw was a red blur rampaging across the battlefield.

The so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen—they looked like tiny boats caught in a violent storm.

Scattered and shattered under Might Duy's relentless assault.

In just a few seconds—

Kuriarare Kushimaru, Munashi Jinpachi, and Ameyuri Ringo were killed one after another.

Ron watched helplessly as three lifeless bodies were torn apart in the chaos, reduced to mangled remains.

But there was nothing he could do.

If he revealed himself now, he might draw attention.

And if Might Duy mistook him for an enemy…

Would his Iron Man suit even withstand a single attack?

Watching Duy shatter the ground with a single kick, Ron made his decision.

He chose to be the opportunist.

Might Duy was incredibly strong.

But as the first-ever user of the Eight Gates, his potential was far below Might Guy's.

He also didn't have the same resources as Guy.

Even so, it was his sacrifice that made Konoha realize the power of the Eight Gates.

It was because of him that they treated Might Guy as a secret weapon.

They made Guy focus only on taijutsu—and he became a Jonin, even an Elite Jonin.

But that was Guy.

Not Duy.

Without resources, training in the Eight Gates for years had left Duy's body riddled with hidden injuries.

His explosive strength was reaching its limit.

With another devastating kick, another enemy was reduced to chunks of flesh.

The last three survivors completely lost their will to fight.

They had arrived full of confidence.

Now, the three remaining swordsmen fled like beaten dogs.

They were so terrified that they didn't even notice—

Might Duy was already at his breaking point.

If someone could see through his body, they'd find it cracked like a porcelain vase.

The moment the enemy escaped—

His last breath left him.

Slowly, he turned around.

Facing the direction of Konoha.

And raised his thumb.

Then… he died.

Ron immediately landed.

Looking at Duy's collapsing body, he ignored everything else and stored him in his space.

Seeing Might Duy truly perish…

Watching his body turn to mist inside the storage dimension…

Only then did Ron finally let out a breath of relief.

Even if he hadn't stored him, Duy's body would have crumbled to dust anyway.

Not even a single piece of flesh would have remained.

Quickly, he piloted his suit away, finding a safe location.

Then, unable to hold back his excitement, he entered his storage dimension.

The moment he stepped in—

Mist surged toward him.

Even though Might Duy's body was on the brink of collapse, the energy within him still far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

A massive surge of power flooded into Ron.

And his strength began to skyrocket.

[Power Level: 30]

Boom!

Ron deactivated his armor.

His body roared like an explosion.

His very genes were being rewritten, making him even more perfect.

His already-handsome face became even more striking.

His lean muscles radiated explosive power.

At the same time, a new energy began to stir deep within his cells.

Chakra!

After absorbing the mist, chakra had awakened inside him!

At this moment—

Ron could feel it.

His original power level of 30—

When using chakra, it instantly doubled!

Power Level: 60.

How strong was 60 in the Marvel universe?

The peak of an ordinary human was 10—

That's around Black Widow's level.

Ron had already surpassed human limits!

He appeared in the Naruto world.

Standing on the ground.

Mimicking Might Duy, he gathered chakra and stomped down.

Boom!

Dust erupted.

A massive crater several meters wide appeared beneath his feet.

Ron was thrilled.

Might Duy, whose body had been on the verge of collapse, had strengthened him immensely.

Converting the boost…

He was now at the level of an Elite Genin.

Even so—

The sheer power he could unleash was comparable to a grenade explosion.

So what if he absorbed a Chunin?

A Jonin?

Or even a Kage?

Just how strong could he become?

" They all would move to the Battlefield"
