"Scatter, Senbonzakura."
Byakuya Kuchiki's sword suddenly withered like a flower, and pink sakura petals scattered around him.
"Flowers?"
Tsunade whispered softly.
Hanzō of the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's happening? The blade has vanished..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hanzō of the Salamander suddenly stiffened.
Pfft—
Shoulder, chest, lower abdomen, back, wrists, thighs, calves!
Almost simultaneously, a large amount of blood spurted out, like exploding flowers of blood!
Hanzō of the Salamander's eyes widened, and his pupils shrank to black dots!
With a thud, his legs gave out and he collapsed!
His lips twitched as he muttered incredulously: "...what, when."
How could he become the captain of the Whirlpool Kingdom...
He... he is a god of the ninja world! !
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were stunned by the sudden occurrence.
Tsunade parted her lips slightly and stammered, "What happened?"
Orochimaru's heart pounded, adrenaline suddenly surged, and his body couldn't stop trembling with excitement.
"So strong!"
It was so powerful that he couldn't even realize what method was used to attack, suddenly wounding Hanzō of the Salamander like this!
But he knew it must have something to do with the sudden disappearance of the blade!
Jiraiya opened his eyes wide, a bit confused.
Staring at the blood-soaked Hanzō of the Salamander, he suddenly felt a surreal feeling.
In an instant, the demi-god of the ninja world, Hanzō of the Salamander, was defeated like this?
Hanzō of the Salamander, who was so arrogant just moments ago, defeating the three of them and even sparing their lives...
Gone?
As they were shocked and unable to break free from their thoughts,
Hanzō's summon, Ibuse, sensed his master's crisis.
Suddenly, a large mouth opened from the ground, swallowing Hanzō of the Salamander, whose life or death was uncertain, in one gulp, diving back into the earth, and fleeing.
Tiny blade fragments like sakura petals flew back to the hilt from the surroundings, reassembling into the blade, and were sheathed by Byakuya Kuchiki.
"Was it sakura petals?"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the change in Byakuya Kuchiki's sword.
Only then did he realize that the blade hadn't vanished but had transformed into sakura petals.
Could these sakura petals be responsible for the changes in Hanzō the Salamander?
Byakuya Kuchiki glanced indifferently in the direction Ibuse fled and said nonchalantly, "A god of the ninja world? He's just a person seeking fame."
The most uncomfortable thing for the demigods of the ninja world is the poisonous mist of Sanshōuo. Once the poison loses its effect, the so-called demigods will lose most of their strength.
People who seek fame and reputation...
This sentence reached the ears of the three Orochimaru, and they felt very uncomfortable.
If Hanzō of the Salamander is a person seeking fame and reputation, then who are they?
The Konoha Sannin who were beaten up by those who wanted to gain fame?
It's even worse than the Konoha Sannin being beaten by the demigods of the ninja world!
It's over; I feel like we'll be nailed to the pillar of shame of Konoha Sannin forever...
Byakuya Kuchiki didn't care about others' thoughts. He walked up to Uzumaki Nagato again and said calmly, "The person who hurt you has fled. Follow me back to the Land of Whirlpools."
Uzumaki Nagato looked blankly at the man with the stoic face in front of him, feeling a bit unreal.
Having lived in the Land of Rain for half a year, he had heard of the mythical name of Hanzō of the Salamander.
And today, he did see the power of Hanzō of the Salamander.
He didn't pay attention to the various flashy and powerful ninjutsu of the three Konoha ninjas earlier, but they were all easily mastered by Hanzō of the Salamander.
As a result, the man who suddenly appeared before him and said he would take him back to the Land of Whirlpools, just because Hanzō of the Salamander hurt him, beat the mythical powerful man until he was covered in blood, and his life and death were uncertain?
This...
Are they really from his country, the Land of Whirlpools?
Why doesn't he remember their country being so powerful?
Could he be a human trafficker?
But if you think about it, such a powerful person wouldn't do such a derogatory thing, right?
Uzumaki Nagato hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Um... are you really from the Land of Whirlpools?"
Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at him without saying a word. He just held out his hand for a moment, and a giant golden door appeared out of thin air.
When Orochimaru and Tsunade saw this door, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Tsunade said seriously, "This should be time-space ninjutsu, right?"
Orochimaru nodded, his eyes fixed on the structure of the door, as if he wanted to explore its principles.
Only Jiraiya was confused, "What time-space ninjutsu?"
Byakuya Kuchiki gently opened the door and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Ah?"
Uzumaki Nagato was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly, "Go, where to?"
Byakuya Kuchiki rarely explained, "Passing through this gate is the Land of Whirlpools."
Uzumaki Nagato's eyes widened, "How amazing!"
But Uzumaki Nagato didn't move.
Byakuya Kuchiki saw his confused look and said calmly, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh..." Uzumaki Nagato looked down and said, "Can I bring my friends?"
Hearing this, Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at the orange-haired boy and the light blue-purple-haired girl who were struggling to stand.
"My mission is only to bring you back."
The implication was that his mission did not involve the two.
Yahiko and Konan smiled and persuaded:
"Nagato, don't worry about us. Since someone has come to take you home, go back quickly. We will live well without you, Nagato!"
How could it be...
Uzumaki Nagato replied in his mind.
There is war here every day, and people die every day. Maybe one day Yahiko and Konan will...
His eyes became firm, and he said, "Sorry, I can't go back now."
"Nagato..."
Yahiko and Konan were moved but also a bit anxious.
People on the ground know best what the Land of Rain is like.
If they stay here, one day they will be killed by passing ninjas, just like their parents...
Clearly, Nagato has a chance to get out of this mire, so he shouldn't give it up!
Byakuya Kuchiki remained expressionless but sighed inwardly.
Kids are really troublesome...
"Then let's go together."
Uzumaki Nagato suddenly lifted his head, his purple-framed eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even a little worried he misheard.
When he was about to ask, he found that the man had already walked through the golden door.
Without thinking much, Uzumaki Nagato hurriedly said, "Quick, Yahiko, Konan, let's go in together!"
"Ah?"
Yahiko and Konan were pulled by Uzumaki Nagato in confusion.
Just as the gate was about to close, a voice came from far and near.
"Wait for me! Captain Kuchiki! I haven't entered the door yet!!!"
