"Do you know what the most poisonous creature in this world is?" Hanzo asked slowly while removing his breathing mask.
Upon hearing his question, the three of them were momentarily stunned.
Ignoring the puzzled expressions of the three, Hanzo continued in a deep voice, "It'sblack salamander..."
"And my body can bring out the full potential of the poison of thisblack salamander!"
As he finished speaking, he instantly formed hand seals.
"Secret Technique: Poisoned Body Jutsu!"
Whoosh!
A green poison haze instantly filled the area as he rapidly exhaled and inhaled!
Seeing this, the three of them tightened their expressions and quickly stepped back.
Soon, the green poison haze began to spread.
"What is this!?"
"Jiraiya, Orochimaru! Be careful! Do not breathe in this poison fog!"
Tsunade urgently shouted upon seeing the poison fog.
Hearing her words, the two nodded and had serious expressions.
At this moment, Hanzo, who was in the midst of the poison fog, looked calmly at the outside and suddenly slammed his hand onto the ground.
"Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation!"
Outside the poison fog, Tsunade, with a frown, looked at the poison fog in front of her. Her shoulder wound had not yet healed.
Suddenly, there were some noises coming from the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
With strange sounds, the ground under Tsunade's feet seemed to instantly soften, providing no footing and causing her to sink!
Her face turned pale in an instant!
Jiraiya, who was next to her, watched in astonishment.
Damn it! It's this jutsu again!
Whoosh!
Jiraiya instantly reached Tsunade's side.
"Tsunade..."
Tsunade hadn't finished her sentence when Jiraiya had already completed his hand seals.
"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"
As he finished his words, his head of white hair suddenly seemed to come to life, transforming into a massive white thorn cluster that enveloped him and Tsunade!
Countless explosion tags on the ground suddenly surged, tightly adhering to the white thorn cluster.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
A series of violent explosions rang out!
Orochimaru, who was on the side, watched the scene with a grim expression. When he looked back at the poison fog, his eyes were filled with murderous intent!
The smoke dissipated.
Only to see the white thorn cluster still burning with intense flames!
With a "chirp!"
The thorn cluster quickly opened, and Tsunade and the severely injured Jiraiya immediately broke free!
"Are you okay? You fool! Don't you dare die! Wake up!"
Tsunade quickly used the Mystic Palm Jutsu to help heal Jiraiya's wounds, who had a blackened face and traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Jiraiya waking up from his unconscious state, Tsunade, with a pale, worried face, quickly called out.
"Cough, cough... I'm... I'm fine. Jiraiya-sama hasn't defeated this guy yet... How... can... cough, cough..."
Jiraiya slowly woke up from his daze.
Seeing Tsunade with a pale and panicked face, his heart ached slightly, and he could only pretend to grin and say.
Seeing Jiraiya wake up, Tsunade no longer scolded him for making jokes at such a time. Her face was filled with joy, and Orochimaru on the side also relaxed.
Hanzo, who was in the poison fog in the distance, looked at the three in front of him with a complex, contemplative look in his eyes. It was as if he was hesitating about something, but in the end, he chose to give up.
Crack!
He slowly put on his mask!
Gush!
As Hanzo put on his mask, under the torrential rain, the poison fog gradually dissipated.
Seeing the poison fog slowly dispersing, Jiraiya's group felt a slight relief. However, when they saw Hanzo walking out completely unharmed, their hearts sank once again.
Just as they were frowning and contemplating how to deal with the upcoming battle, Hanzo, who stood not far away from them, suddenly spoke.
"Let's end this battle here!"
"Your strength is formidable, and in you, I see the responsibility that a ninja should have! You possess the beliefs and will that a ninja should have, and that is commendable!"
"The outstanding Sannin of Konoha are truly remarkable!"
"So... you should not have met your demise at my hands at a time like this."
With that, Hanzo looked up at the sky, which had ceased pouring rain but remained gloomy, and continued.
"This war has been extremely brutal."
"I hope you remember it and, as true ninja, work to reduce the wars in the future..."
"That's all I have to say."
Seeing this, Hanzo fell silent and slowly turned around.
A massiveblack salamander suddenly leaped from underground, carrying Hanzo as it floated to the surface.
Then, they slowly disappeared from the area.
The three who remained in place were dumbfounded.
He... he's just leaving like that!?
"Damn it! Get back here! Jiraiya-sama hasn't defeated you yet! Who needs your approval! Come back... Oh, oh."
Suddenly, Jiraiya, who was swearing loudly, rose to his feet. He was swearing half because of the pain, which made his body shiver, and then he collapsed again.
Tsunade, on the other hand, didn't scold him and instead shot him an irritated glance before starting to heal his injuries.
Orochimaru, who was to the side, remained silent, watching Hanzo's departure. His eyes had a hint of coldness.
black salamander, huh...
That guy, Orochimaru thought, definitely needs to be dealt with...
Unbeknownst to anyone, apart from Hanzo, two more figures disappeared from the area.
On a nearby hill, Yahiko and his group, including Konan and Nagato, watched the entire battle in stunned silence.
The shock in their hearts was beyond words!
This! Is this what a battle between ninja is like?
This power!!
Thinking this, Yahiko suddenly spoke quietly to Konan and Nagato.
"Konan, Nagato, I want to train with them!"
Hearing him, Konan was slightly surprised and then expressed her concern.
"But Yahiko, why do you want to find them? They're Konoha ninja! If you appear rashly, you might... get killed, and you already have Jiraiya-nii-san to teach you, right..."
Yahiko, however, was resolute.
"Saki-nii-san said that it's enough to have the power to protect yourself, regardless of where the power comes from. And he told me that he wouldn't be able to teach me much... I want to train in ninja techniques, the same kind of ninja techniques as those guys!"
His young face showed seriousness, and after deep thought, he said in a solemn voice.
"I'll go first. If they are willing to accept me, I'll come back to get you!"
"If... I get killed... you two should stay far away from here, understand!?"
Hearing his words, Konan's face paled, and she seemed uncertain.
Nagato, on the other hand, quietly said, "I'll go with you!"
To this, both Yahiko and Konan were taken aback.
"I... also want to have the power to protect you both..."
Nagato said softly, with his head lowered.
In the end, the three children went together towards the Sannin, who had just been through a fierce battle.
...
In a forest in the Land of Rain.
Several figures were waiting there.
A young Rain ninja with narrow eyes leaned casually against a big tree, idly playing with the leaves.
"I didn't expect Lord Hanzo to take this long to deal with a few ninja."
The young Rain ninja murmured playfully.
If it was Captain Aizen... with that god-like power...
He probably wouldn't even bother with ordinary ninja...
Thinking this, a hint of a smile flickered in the young ninja's eyes.
