For Monzaemon, the battle was dragging on too long. In theory, he should have ended everything within ten seconds.
But facing a ninja like Hanyu who can use a wide range of attack ninjutsu, Monzaemon, as a puppeteer, can only do so much no matter how strong he is. When encountering an enemy who is not professionally matched, any ninja will get half the result with twice the effort... The most orthodox way to deal with a ninjutsu-type ninja is to fight against it with a ninjutsu-type ninja.
Moreover, compared with ordinary ninjas, Hanyu's casting speed is too fast, so fast that there is no time for the puppet to attack. This is far from a problem that can be explained by the speed of hand seals... No matter how fast the hand seals are, there is a limit, and Hanyu's casting speed seems to have surpassed this theoretically insurmountable limit.
Could it be that he was making hand seals with one hand? No, absolutely not. This guess only flashed through Monzaemon's mind, at least he saw Hanyu making hand seals with both hands.
Fortunately, in this battle, Hanyu did not show his special skill of mixing the two jutsu, otherwise Menzaemon would have been driven crazy.
After sinking to the bottom of the water, Hanyu no longer had any sense of the surface above the water, so he didn't know that a team of Konoha ninjas had arrived.
At this time, he was fishing under the water.
Nagisa quickly appeared next to the team of ninjas and explained the situation to them in the simplest way. "There is only one enemy, Monzaemon from Sunagakure. Preliminary judgment shows that the enemy has been active in this area for some time, and now our captain is holding him back."
After hearing his explanation, the leader of the ninja team nodded and asked, "What is this fog in front of us?"
"It's our captain's water jutsu."
The leading ninja nodded. He knew that this was the Mist Hidden Technique, but he needed to confirm whether the person who released this technique was a friend or an enemy. Then, he asked a ninja behind him, "Can you see what's going on inside?"
The Mist Hidden Technique that Hanyu used to protect himself created certain obstacles for the ninja reinforcements.
The man standing behind the captain glanced into the mist and said, "There is only one enemy and ten puppets, so the possibility that the enemy is Monzaemon is very high. Our people are hiding under the water and are not in danger for the time being."
Grasped the overall situation of the battlefield in just a moment? The other party's report made Nagisa turn his gaze to the ninja, and then... he saw a pair of eyes with pure white irises and light white pupils.
It was the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Indeed, if one had a pair of eyes like this, the mist in front of one's eyes would be nothing.
After hearing the report from the Hyuga ninja, the captain said to his subordinates, "Attention, the enemy is Monzaemon . We must kill him here. If he breaks free, we are allowed to pursue him moderately... You guys continue to stay here and support the ninjas that come later."
The captain said the following sentence to Nagisa, saying that the young ninjas had done well enough and that they were not needed in the next battle.
Nagisa nodded and completely accepted the other party's arrangement. He knew that a four-man team like this was composed entirely of elite jonin. They traveled across the battlefield every day in order to kill the enemy's high-level combat forces... For them, Monzaemon was a target that must be attacked.
Monzaemon was an experienced ninja. As soon as the wind direction on the battlefield changed, he smelled the danger and left without hesitation.
This elite team of Konoha immediately began to chase him.
At this time, Hanyu was still fishing in the water.
Moreover, he had already held his breath to his limit, but he had to continue holding it because he was worried that the top of his head would be suddenly blown off when he came up to breathe.
Then, the sound of birdsong reached the bottom of the water. It was his companions sending him a signal, saying, "Reinforcements have arrived, the enemy has fled, and the team is safe."
The signal rang three times accurately. This time, Hanyu realized that the enemy had indeed left, so he slowly floated up, first his eyes and then his entire body returned to the surface of the water.
"Cough cough..." Hanyu squatted on the water surface, and with continuous coughing sounds, the water that had soaked into his mouth and nasal cavity was coughed out.
His companions quickly came to his side, squatted down and surrounded him, keeping alert and helping to check his physical condition... After all, in this battle, the main target of pressure and attack was Hanyu.
Hanyu took a few deep breaths, and the suffocation in his chest finally eased. "Friends, I think I may need artificial respiration."
After making sure he was safe, he even had the mood to make a joke. But he didn't expect that his joke would get an unexpected response.
"I'll do it."
The person who was speaking was Yasanagi.
"…"
Hanyu and the other two people in the team were stunned for a moment, and then when they realized what Yasanagi said, they all leaned back in shock.
"Well, I was just kidding." Hanyu said awkwardly. Who would have thought that this would get a response? The female ninja in the team was a little too bold.
Yes, Yasanagi was indeed very bold, but her boldness was completely different from what Hanyu thought, and... he felt a little good about himself.
"Do not move."
Yasanagi was seen kneeling on the water, reaching out to lift up one of Hanyu's arms. Then, she untied the arm guard tied on it, and rolled up Hanyu's sleeves... Finally, two very subtle scars were revealed.
Before, when Hanyu was blocking the puppet's attack, the sharp blade slightly pierced his arm guard, but because the wound was too shallow, he didn't notice anything at the time.
At this time, his arm was already pitch black - puppets and poisons have always been inseparable, and a puppeteer who does not use poison is not a puppeteer at all.
Then, Yasanagi was seen holding Hanyu's arm with one hand, and there was a refreshing cool feeling from her fingertips, which was refreshing... until her other hand pulled out a kunai.
"Do you want to cut it? I think the sooner you do it, the better. The poison has already started to spread."
In just a short while, Hanyu's entire arm was already pitch black, but looking at Yasanagi's calm eyes, he always felt that this girl was eager to try.
It must be an illusion. It must be an illusion.
So, Hanyu said with great certainty:
"I think... I can still save myself."
