Just as Jiraiya's group confronted Hanzo:
On the edge of a nearby hill, three children were lying down, their eyes wide open, watching the battle happening over here.
"That person is... Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure!"
Yahiko's eyes were wide with astonishment as he exclaimed.
"Shh! Yahiko, speak more quietly, you might get noticed!"
Konan, who was next to him, whispered anxiously.
Hearing her words, Yahiko realized and immediately lowered his voice.
"Who are those three people? How dare they confront Hanzo? He's the strongest in Amegakure!"
Konan looked at the three individuals on the battlefield, shaking her head with uncertainty.
"I don't know... but it seems like they are ninja from Konoha."
Hearing Konan's words, Nagato also slightly puzzled, carefully observing the people on the battlefield.
While the three were conversing:
In the midst of the pouring rain, two figures slowly appeared behind them, not far away.
These two figures, unnoticed by the three children, moved silently.
"Is that child the owner of the Rinnegan? From his appearance, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual except for his red hair."
Saki looked at Nagato, his mouth curving with a hint of a smile as he spoke softly.
Hearing his words, Saki replied with a serious tone.
"Yes, for now, he doesn't seem to have displayed any unique abilities."
"But, that child hasn't practiced ninjutsu yet. Perhaps he will undergo some changes when he comes into contact with chakra."
Sōsuke nodded slightly and gazed at the three children, a hint of a smile crossing his eyes as he said softly, "Do you value that child?"
Saki understood Sōsuke's reference to Yahiko and replied respectfully, "I see in that child's eyes a deep-seated resentment towards this world and a desire to protect. That's why I resonate with him."
Sōsuke nodded and said gently, "Relax, Saki. Since he's someone you value, that's a good thing. I'm glad you've made that decision on your own."
With that said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "But for now, these children aren't the most important. Let's go and meet some old friends first."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Saki's eyes slightly narrowed, and his pale eyes glanced down at the battlefield on the hill.
.....
"Splish!" "Splish!"...
Suddenly, Jiraiya's group swiftly maneuvered around Hanzo, who stood on the giant Salamander!
Hanzo, standing atop the Salamander's head, crossed his hands and watched their movements impassively.
Orochimaru's snake-like pupils coldly stared at him, and he quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
He forcefully exhaled toward Hanzo's position!
"Whoosh!"
A massive wind column, several meters in diameter, suddenly formed and rushed straight toward Hanzo, dispersing the torrential rain in the sky.
At the same time, Jiraiya, not far behind, had also finished forming his seals!
He stared intensely at Hanzo!
"Fire Release: Flame Curtain!"
With a loud clap, he slammed his hands onto the ground!
A surge of chakra rushed underground!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Beneath the ground, several pillars of fire suddenly shot up, heading straight for Hanzo's location!
Seeing this, Hanzo's eyes turned cold!
"Swoosh!"
His body instantly disappeared from the Salamander's massive head!
Faced with the soaring pillars of fire and the powerful wind column, the giant Salamander also leaped to the side, as if a fish entering the water!
Seeing Hanzo's figure vanish in an instant, the pupils of the three were suddenly reduced to pinpricks!
What!!
When did he form the seals so quickly for this instantaneous body technique?!
"Boom!"
The enormous Salamander landed at a distance, sinking into the ground like a fish diving into water!
At this moment!
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Tsunade!
"You should experience my title for yourselves, you young folks!"
Hanzo had already drawn his sickle from his back, swinging it at Tsunade while speaking calmly.
"Sword Technique: Flash!"
Tsunade's pupils constricted!
At the same time!
Not far from the battlefield where the three and Hanzo were fighting, two figures were standing there quietly, watching.
In front of them, a rippling blue light barrier completely concealed their figures!
"Bakudō #26. Kyokkō!"
Within the blue light barrier, Saki observed Hanzo suddenly appearing in front of Tsunade and hesitated.
"Captain Aizen... Aren't you planning to intervene?"
Sōsuke also saw the battle on the field but remained calm, speaking softly.
"Saki, don't underestimate these three young individuals... especially Tsunade."
As if reminiscing about something, he smiled nostalgically and muttered, "After all... she was the one who once declared herself as the first female Hokage..."
Suddenly, the sickle in Hanzo's hand emitted a sharp chakra radiance, and he swiftly swung it towards Tsunade!
"Tsunade!"
Beside her, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, alarmed by the scene, shouted!
"You bastard! Don't underestimate me!"
Hearing the two's exclamation, Tsunade, with a somewhat pale face, suddenly changed her expression, staring at Hanzo, and shouted,
"Body Flicker Technique: Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
She lifted her leg high in the air!
Then slammed it down with tremendous force!
"Bang!" "Rumble!"
Suddenly, the ground within a radius of dozens of meters, with Tsunade at the center, instantly shattered and collapsed!
Hanzo, witnessing this scene, also had a change in his expression!
He leaped in an instant, and his sickle swiftly changed direction, cleaving towards Tsunade's shoulder!
"Splish!"
The sharp blade cut through her flesh in an instant!
Tsunade frowned, but she didn't give up. Her hand gathered a clump of green chakra and slashed it towards Hanzo's body!
The two of them crossed paths in an instant!
"Splish!"
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Hanzo stood his ground not far away, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya had already reached Tsunade's side!
"The blade is poisoned!"
Seeing Tsunade's shoulder turning black, Jiraiya's complexion changed slightly as he spoke with a deep voice.
Orochimaru's face was also ice-cold!
"It's okay!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said.
She took out a kunai and dug out the blackened flesh from her shoulder in an instant!
"Hiss..."
The intense pain made her involuntarily take a sharp breath.
After cutting away the flesh tainted by the poison on her shoulder, she covered it with a clump of green chakra!
"Medical Jutsu: Mystic Palm Technique!"
On the opposite side, Hanzo furrowed his brows slightly as he watched this scene. An expression of appreciation appeared on his face, and he exclaimed loudly.
"Impressive young ones! I've heard that Konoha has established a so-called Medical Ninja Department, but I never expected it would be you. Developing such a ninjutsu is indeed remarkable."
He glanced at his left wrist and continued, "Moreover... being able to harm me... your reflexes... I truly acknowledge you!"
Hearing his words, Jiraiya, who was across from him, spoke angrily.
"Who needs recognition from the likes of you! How dare you harm Tsunade! Prepare to die!"
Hanzo shook his head and said with a solemn tone.
"Fearless words won't make you stronger. However, I hope you can continue to be bold in the face of the next moves!"
"Splish!"
He gently removed the breathing mask from his mouth!
Seeing this scene, all three of them tensed up!
What does he intend to do?!
