Powerful Forbidden Technique, Hiruzen certainly has.
Hiruzen believes that he can win even against his teacher, Senju Tobirama, as long as he uses the powerful sealing technique "Death Reaper Seal" that Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato used to seal the Nine Tails.
Of course, the premise is that he can get close to Senju Tobirama.
The same is true for Terumi Mei.
No matter how powerful Ninjutsu is, as long as Terumi Mei cannot be approached, Hiruzen has nothing to do.
And through the previous battle with Terumi Mei, Hiruzen has discovered.
Terumi Mei prefers to use all kinds of ninjutsu and the weird magma power she learned from Rifan rather than a taijutsu.
Perhaps, there is also the power of "Ice" that has only been shown once but has exerted a powerful force.
And these abilities are all abilities that can be displayed remotely.
Plus Terumi can turn herself into scorching lava.
Hiruzen felt that he might not have many techniques that would allow him to get close to Terumi Mei.
Even if he got close, he had to consider whether his ninjutsu could work on Terumi who can turn her body into lava.
Perhaps, there is still a certain possibility of victory for the extremely fast Namikaze Minato to perform "Death Reaper Seal" on Terumi Mei.
Of course, Hiruzen is reluctant to challenge Terumi Mei, only he knows that it's because he is reluctant to offend Rifan further.
[Onoki: Tsk, Third Hokage is reluctant to speak, it seems that we can't see this battle. ]
After recovering, Hiruzen just turned his head to look at the Golden List message area, when he saw the words of his old rival Onoki.
In an instant, an extremely unpleasant emotion flooded Hiruzen's heart.
'This bastard, don't think you can keep your reward.'
The country of waves, in a certain forest.
A shirtless and ruthless man pulled out the weapon, which was longer than the average adult man's body, from the ground and placed it behind him.
"Let's go, Haku, I'm leaving here."
The cold man's voice fell, and a child with an extremely delicate face behind him stopped exercising and looked over with some doubts.
However, the doubts were only for a while, and soon the beautiful child returned to his indifferent face, packed up his belongings, and followed in the footsteps of the ruthless man.
"Don't you ask?"
After walking for a few minutes, the cold man said something silently.
Although the ruthless man kept looking straight ahead, the beautiful child knew that he was talking to himself.
"I'm Lord Zabuza's tools, and the tools don't need to ask why."
"Even though you are puzzled by my actions, Haku?"
Zabuza stopped on his track and glanced at Haku, next to him.
"I won't ask anything if Lord Zabuza didn't order me."
Haku lowered his head, his expression flat.
"Hmph, you are becoming more and more like a tool." Zabuza snorted coldly and looked up at the golden list in the sky. "It turns out that the Fourth Mizukage implemented such a policy because he was controlled by someone using genjutsu.
"Is what Terumi Mei said true?"
Zabuza murmured in a low voice as if he was asking Haku around him, and he also seemed to be asking himself.
Haku, who had always been adhering to becoming the best tool of Zabuza, did not choose to answer but continued to silently follow Zabuza's pace.
"Well, since you are the woman taught by Rifan, let's go and see how Kirigakure is now."
Without a low groan, walking gradually turned into a trot, and soon it turned into a fast run.
As for Haku, because of the relatively slow speed, he was directly carried by Zabuza as they advanced.
After years of wandering, Zabuza no longer trusts Kirigakure.
However, after seeing Rifan's performance on the golden list.
With his overwhelming strength that can easily capture any of the five major ninja villages, he doesn't think he will make Terumi Mei lie.
And he can't think of a reason why Rifan would do this.
As for Terumi Mei, maybe she has the possibility of lying, but he still wants to go back and have a look.
'This direction is the direction of Kirigakure. '
'Could it be that Lord Zabusa wants to return to his village in response to Terumi Mei's plight?'
Seeing Zabuza next to him, Haku showed a slightly puzzled expression.
But soon, after he felt that he was not suitable to think like this, his expression returned to dullness again.
