"Damn it!" Kakashi cursed as he saw the unclean entities surrounding them. His eyes were filled with panic, an unusual state for someone who had faced countless battles. The terrifying power, speed, and self-healing abilities of these creatures were simply overwhelming.

"Kakashi! Keep running!" Guy suddenly shouted.

"This is my fault. I brought this trouble upon us. Let me cover our escape!" Guy declared, preparing to make a stand.

"Guy, are you planning to..." Kakashi realized Guy's intent.

"Yes! I'll pave the way by opening the Eight Gates!" Guy took a deep breath, ready to unleash his ultimate technique.

"Fool! We're not at that point yet!" Kakashi shouted, grabbing Guy's shoulder.

The unclean entities' fists were about to smash them when Kakashi removed his headband, revealing his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Kamui!"

In the next instant, both Kakashi and Guy were sucked into the dimensional space, avoiding the unclean entities' attack. They reappeared twenty meters from the entrance, safe for the moment.

"Ha... ha... just in time!" Kakashi panted.

"Kakashi, I didn't know you had this move!" Guy exclaimed.

"This jutsu consumes a lot of chakra," Kakashi replied weakly before collapsing. Guy caught him just in time.

"Hang on, Kakashi. I'll handle it from here." Guy was about to carry Kakashi when a massive boulder flew at them, striking them hard.

With a loud crash, Kakashi and Guy were sent flying and fell heavily to the ground, seriously injured.

"Damn it..." Guy looked back in disbelief and saw an unclean entity raising its left hand. It was clearly responsible for the attack.

"We were so close," Kakashi muttered, eyeing the blocked entrance with frustration.

Outside the entrance, some jonin arrived, led by the ninja dogs. Konoha had been under reconstruction and patrol due to a recent invasion, making it difficult to gather reinforcements quickly.

"Hey, there's another world behind this mirror? You must be kidding," Asuma said, incredulously reaching out to touch the mirror and feeling the barrier of rocks.

"Kakashi and Guy are on the other side. Clear the rocks and save them. I can sense Kakashi's condition is dire," the ninja dog urged.

"Leave it to me," Asuma said, focusing his chakra to break the rocks. Once cleared, they saw Kakashi and Guy lying on the ground with unclean entities approaching.

Seeing the towering, terrifying creatures, the jonin were momentarily stunned. These monstrous beings were as large as the Nine-Tails; what on earth were they?

"Kakashi! Guy!" Kurenai yelled, worried about their severe injuries, and rushed in with the others to save them.

But just then, an unclean entity's arm fell in front of the mirror entrance, blocking their path. Another entity bent down to inspect the jonin, causing them to retreat in fear.

The monstrous hand was too large to pass through the entrance, but it managed to block it entirely, causing the walls around the mirror to crack.

The jonin's faces turned pale, fearing the terrifying creature might break through.

Suddenly, a loud crash echoed behind them, startling them into turning around.

"Jiraiya! You idiot! What were you grabbing just now?" Tsunade's angry voice rang out.

"It was an accident! I was just trying to keep you from falling!" Jiraiya defended himself.

"Do you think I'll believe that?" Tsunade shouted furiously at the fallen Jiraiya.

"Who are you?" Kurenai asked, readying for battle.

"Sorry, now's not the time for introductions. I'll explain later," Tsunade said, pulling Shizune up. Jiraiya and Naruto were still dazed.

"Tsunade-sama, let's go!" Shizune said.

Tsunade and Shizune rushed towards the unclean entity's finger. Tsunade armed herself with Armament Haki and focused her immense chakra.

With a powerful punch, Tsunade struck the unclean entity's finger, causing a tremendous explosion that pushed the creature back.

Tsunade and Shizune then entered the Red Sea World.

Kakashi and Guy were being held by the unclean entities, who seemed to be discussing how to divide them as food.

"Let them go!" Tsunade shouted, unleashing her Conqueror's Haki.

The sheer force of her Haki caused the unclean entities to hesitate, loosening their grip on Kakashi and Guy. Tsunade quickly caught them and handed Kakashi to Shizune.

As they ran towards the entrance, the unclean entities recovered and charged at them.

"Damn, it's not enough. Shizune!" Tsunade handed Guy to Shizune.

Shizune created shadow clones to help carry Guy and accelerated.

"Stay put!" Tsunade focused her chakra and Haki into her arm.

With a mighty punch to the ground, she shattered the earth, causing the unclean entities to lose their balance and fall. Shizune, anticipating the move, leaped to safety, avoiding the chaos below.
