"You really know how to cause trouble for others, Hanzo," Ryan called out.
As Ryan's voice echoed, a flickering light surrounded him, and he swiftly moved to the front of the poisonous gas sprayed by the salamander. Standing there, facing the toxic mist, Ryan's presence seemed unaffected.
Hanzo, observing Ryan's bold stance in front of the salamander's poisonous mist, couldn't help but wear a sarcastic expression on his masked face. He couldn't comprehend how Ryan dared to stand in the face of such danger.
"Hmph, Fourth Hokage, I can't decide whether to call you ignorant or arrogant!" Hanzo scoffed. "To dare stand in front of the salamander's poisonous mist! Then I will reluctantly accept your stupid life!"
With a proud expression, Hanzo looked at Ryan, as if envisioning his demise from the toxic fumes.
However, Ryan seemed unfazed by the imminent danger. It was as if he didn't even see the poisonous mist approaching him. In fact, using his Sage Body and Rinnegan, Ryan could directly discern the poisonous mist gushing out. His mastery over his abilities had grown.
Utilizing the power of the Rinnegan, Ryan extended his hands, and an invisible energy formed a barrier, resembling an invisible black hole. It began voraciously absorbing the poisonous mist before his eyes.
Ryan had just used his Rinnegan abilities to experiment further. He employed the ability of Preta Path, swiftly capturing all the poisonous mist in his grasp.
The onlookers, who had hoped to witness Ryan succumb to the poison, were left dumbfounded. Instead of dying, the toxic mist was effortlessly absorbed by Ryan.
"Not bad," Ryan commented, his understanding of his own strength deepening after experiencing the power of the Rinnegan. However, he knew that the Rinnegan possessed even more formidable abilities.
As Hanzo watched in astonishment, Ryan unleashed his full power in an instant, utilizing the complete potential of the Rinnegan. The combination of Universal Pull and Shinra Tensei left Hanzo helpless, struggling to defend himself.
Amid Hanzo's struggle, Ryan felt his Rinnegan becoming more proficient. He sensed an impending breakthrough as if something within him was on the verge of unlocking.
Witnessing Hanzo's plight, Ryan intensified his efforts. He pressed Hanzo to the ground, using his abilities to subdue him relentlessly.
"Is this the so-called demigod?" the Konoha ninjas exclaimed in disbelief. "Why does Hanzo seem so weak?"
"Weak? Hanzo is weak? No, it's because the Fourth Hokage is incredibly strong!" others exclaimed.
The demigods of the past were now completely overpowered by Ryan, who had become an unstoppable force. The battle had turned into a one-sided beatdown, leaving the Konoha ninjas jubilant.
Among them, Jiraiya was particularly wide-eyed, witnessing the astonishing display of Rinnegan's abilities. Even Orochimaru, who was once obsessed with acquiring powerful eyes, now watched with curiosity rather than envy.
In contrast, the atmosphere in the Land of Rain's Shinobi Village was sombre. The Rain Shinobi stood frozen, their beliefs shattered before their eyes. They gazed blankly, their souls seemingly lost.
"Frustrating!" Hanzo roared in anger. "This is beyond deception!"
As Ryan unleashed another Shinra Tensei, an icy determination flashed in his eyes. He had more Rinnegan abilities at his disposal, and it was time to use them.
"Hmm?" Ryan muttered, realizing the ability he had acquired. "So, this is the power."
With newfound abilities, Ryan now had a suitable subject to test them on Hanzo. Hanzo, who had felt a momentary relief, suddenly tensed up as he observed Ryan's actions with suspicion. But upon closer inspection, he found nothing unusual and felt no Chakra fluctuations.
Hanzo, filled with suffocation, grabbed his chain sickle and charged at Ryan once again. But before he could approach, a resounding boom echoed through the air, and Hanzo was sent flying backwards.
Blood sprayed from Hanzo's mouth, and he looked around in horror. "What? Invisible people? It can't be!" he exclaimed. "There were no Chakra fluctuations at all!"
Although he had felt a back kick, there was nothing in front of him. Ryan stood in the distance, seemingly unrelated to the attack.
At that moment, Hanzo's faith in life was shaken. If it were a special bloodline that allowed invisibility, there would still be Chakra fluctuations. Confusion filled his mind.
Unbeknownst to Hanzo, Ryan had activated a new Rinnegan ability: the Limbo. It was a special technique, one that even Ryan hadn't expected to possess from the Rinnegan granted by the system. It seemed that more Rinnegan abilities would awaken in the future.
However, there was no need to waste time in the Land of Rain any longer. The fight needed to end.
Observing Hanzo, who remained on high alert, Ryan made no further hesitation. Taking control of the Limbo avatar, he approached Hanzo. Unaware of the impending doom, Hanzo didn't even realize that his death was near. The wheel tomb clone stood next to him.
Without hesitation, the power of the Rinnegan surged within Ryan. He activated the Human Path: Soul Extraction.
With a sudden pull, Hanzo's soul was violently ripped from his body. His vigilance disappeared in an instant, and he fell lifelessly to the ground, not even having the chance to scream.
"Hmm?" Ryan muttered, discovering the power of the Rinnegan to extract souls. He knew that Hanzo's corpse, potentially possessing the strength of a Kage-level peak, could be used to create a Six Paths puppet.
But before proceeding with that, Ryan addressed the Rain Shinobi:
"Hanzo is dead! Surrender or face the same fate!"
