The dark clouds in the sky are getting heavier and darker, as if they are going to flatten the world.
Thunder light also flickered in the dark clouds, making a roaring roar.
Ignoring the harsh weather and environment, Chiyo, who was soaked in the rain, clenched her fists slightly and took a deep breath. Even if Sunagakure had prepared in advance, there was no guarantee that this battle could be won 100%.
But things have evolved to this point, and there is no possibility of backing down.
From the moment the war begins, there is no justice and evil, only winners and losers.
In this ninja world where the winner decides everything, the most important thing is victory.
Therefore, this battle must not be lost.
"Hanzo, your legend ends here..."
Chiyo murmured in a low voice, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Maybe he thought that he might face such a future in the future.
A ninja's life is spent fighting.
These old people, abandoned by the times, have been fighting all their lives.
Apart from fighting, there is nothing else to fill their lives.
Therefore...Hanzo must die!
Yugakure must be defeated!
"Everyone——"
Chiyo's voice penetrated the rain curtain and was transmitted very clearly to the ears of the Sunagakure ninja behind him.
They moved forward in unison, and the edge of the cliff was immediately occupied by densely packed Sunagakure ninjas, looking nervous and excited.
Even the cold rain cannot extinguish the restlessness and passion in their hearts.
For the Country of Wind, for Sand Hidden Village, for being able to give my family a better life, for...
They fight for various reasons and gather here.
Holding the killing blade in hand, bury everything in the enemy's body.
After they were ready to join this killing feast, there was no sadness in Chiyo's eyes, only determination and the cold-blooded determination to inflict heavenly punishment on the enemy in front of him.
A ninja's life is spent fighting.
From birth to death, this is a cursed fate that cannot be avoided.
Raising his arm, Chiyo swung it down hard and pointed forward.
The sound of rain can be heard in the ears, and the sound of thunder is also passing through.
As a result, the Sunagakure ninjas turned into black shadows as fast as the wind, like flying beasts, charging down from the cliff. The sound of their running turned into the wind and lightning.
Thousands of Sunagakure ninjas galloped, causing the earth to shake.
Ripples appeared in the water channels formed by the rainwater and spread. Hanzo was at the front of the Aegakure troops, letting the wind and rain hit him.
Wearing a gas mask and holding a poison-coated sickle connected to a chain in his hand, his long light yellow hair flew with the wind and rain, and under his eyes were the traces of time left by the vicissitudes of life.
Facing the charge of thousands of Sunagakure ninjas, Hanzo had never been so calm for a moment.
It's like going back to the past, when I was still young and loved peace.
It's so tiring, ninja fighting.
I really want to rest.
Tired of fighting.
fear.
Fear.
perturbed.
Death and aging both push themselves.
This is the fate you have to bear in the end as a ninja.
No matter how magnificent a person is, they cannot escape the fate of death after aging.
"let's go."
Hanzo whispered these words, pulled off the gas mask on his face, and diffused the poisonous gas carried in his body.
The ripples on the water surface spread out, and the figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.
The Amegakure ninjas wearing gas masks heard the news and charged forward.
"The legend of demigods comes from me——"
Wielding a ninja sword with wind attributes, this Sunagakure ninja is a ninja who is proficient in sword skills and is very confident in his sword skills.
Demigod... This is the pinnacle of contemporary ninjas.
Countless people have wanted to climb this mountain.
He is one of them.
The old era has passed and the new era belongs to him.
Then, in his excited and confident sight, the wind dissipated, and the ninja sword was cut off neatly by the silver light.
The chest was cut open, splattering with beautiful bright red color.
When he died, he was indulging in beautiful fantasies, a death filled with glory and joy.
This was the mercy Hanzo bestowed upon him.
The figure soon disappeared again, and the sound of the chain dragging the sickle was like a death spell on the battlefield.
Blood poured out from the Sunagakure ninja's body like a waterfall.
"Wind Escape·Hang the Net!"
When a hurricane hits, it is a net-shaped wind with the ability to attack in a wide area.
The speed was so fast that there was no time to use ninjutsu to resist.
"What?"
Thinking that Hanzo's movements could be restricted, the net-shaped wind was cut straight from the middle by the blade in Hanzo's hand.
Hanzo flashed, bent down slightly, holding a scythe in his right hand, gathering chakra in his left hand, and slapped the Sunagakure ninja in the stomach.
"Psychic art!"
"Uh-huh!"
My stomach feels like it's going to explode.
The Sunagakure ninja held his stomach that was about to explode and backed away. Saliva continued to flow from his mouth, and his eyes almost turned white.
boom!
Huge smoke spread to all directions, and a ferocious and huge shadow appeared from the white mist.
Accompanied by the sticky sound of saliva and the sound of teeth churning, the Sunagakure ninjas surrounding Hanzo couldn't help but feel terrified.
It sounded like a monster eating delicious food alive.
The monster's body is revealed.
It was a slender but extremely large Sanshou fish, crawling on the ground, with fresh blood smeared on the corners of its mouth, and its tail swinging happily, sweeping away the several Sunagakure ninjas who were attacking behind it like garbage.
"Ibushi!"
Hanzo jumped on top of the giant Sansho Fish.
The Sanshou Fish Ibushi understood. He opened his mouth and the poisonous mist spread around at an extremely fast speed. The purple poisonous mist could not help but contain deadly toxins and could also blur people's vision.
However, after the poisonous mist spread, these Sunagakure ninjas who did not wear gas masks were still fighting and were not affected by the poisonous mist at all.
"Did that puppet old woman do anything good?"
Hanzo sighed.
Every Sunagakure ninja who participated in the war was equipped with an antidote. He was worthy of being a ninja from the five major countries. The financial and material resources were beyond the reach of small countries.
But Hanzo didn't care. If his poison was allowed to work, then this war wouldn't have to be fought at all.
Sanshouyu and Ibushi jumped up, causing a commotion in the crowd.
"No, this guy moves too fast!"
A Sunagakure jounin shouted anxiously.
With such a huge size and wind-like speed, it is simply an invincible killing machine in war.
"Burning Escape·Steam Kill!"
Four orange-red fireballs burst through the sky.
Wherever it passes, all the rainwater evaporates.
Hanzo narrowed his eyes.
The body leaped up, and Ibushi also felt the mortal danger. The black claws dug wildly at the ground and disappeared from the ground in the blink of an eye, leaving a huge black hole leading to the ground.
Seeing Hanzo and his psychic beast, easily evading his own killing ninjutsu, the Sunagakure female jounin who released the ninjutsu immediately stepped back and distanced herself from Hanzo to avoid being caught up by Hanzo.
From the previous battle, she knew that Hanzo's teleportation and sword skills were extremely powerful, and even if the Jonin was not careful, he could be killed in an instant.
You must keep distance if you hit with a sure hit. This is the basic strategy for dealing with Hanzo.
"Scorch Release Ninja Ye Cang? I'll be in trouble if I get hit by that fireball."
As a leader among the younger generation of Sunagakure, she is still a blood successor ninja who can use the Burning Release, and Hanzo also pays attention to her.
The blood-continuing boundary-scorching release ninjutsu is naturally powerful. It can instantly evaporate the water in the body of the victim, turning him into a mummy and dying. It has extremely dangerous and fatal properties.
But the shortcoming is also obvious, that is, it is slightly lacking in speed. As long as you pay a little attention, you will have no problem if you want to avoid it with his teleportation skills.
Boom!
The moment the earth exploded, Ibushi's huge body sprang out from the ground. Even if a sensing ninja sensed it in advance, it still caused some damage.
The bodies of two Sunagakure ninjas were hung on the black hooks, and they were pierced through the body and died.
With his big head and small eyes, Ibushi looked a bit naive, and what reflected in those small eyes was a cruel and fierce light.
He opened his huge mouth filled with the smell of blood, propped himself on the ground, roared at the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas, and swept his tail wildly, so that the Sunagakure ninjas did not dare to step forward to fight it, and could only use ninjutsu to restrict its activities. scope.
"Damn it, doesn't the intelligence say that its main ability is to spit poison?"
"Idiot, the Sanshou fish is originally an amphibious carnivorous animal with a very cruel personality."
Faced with the Sansho Fish, which is huge in size, moves quickly, and has the ability to burrow into the ground, the Sunagakures were also in trouble.
But when they were in trouble, Ibushi and Hanzo didn't wait to think about any tactics.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Hanzo pulled the chain, took back the scythe that had been thrown away, and casually leaped over to Ibushi's head again, forming a seal with one hand.
"Uh! What is that!?"
The earth roared.
A large amount of torrents gathered around Ibushi, and a water dragon that was much larger than Ibushi rose up from the ground, causing terrifying cracks in the ground. After flying into the sky, it opened its ferocious eyes, and then fell from the sky after reaching a certain height.
Boom!
Boom!
More than a dozen Sunagakure ninjas had no time to dodge, and were hit by the water dragon. Their body bones were shattered, and then they were swallowed into the mouth by the water dragon.
After swallowing more than a dozen Sunagakure ninjas and making a hole in the ground, the water dragon did not disappear, but continued to rush forward, causing the Sunagakure ninjas along the way to be baptized by the storm, and their bodies could not stop bouncing to both sides. Open, covered in mud.
Seeing the water dragon wreaking havoc, his face looked horrified.
boom!
The chakra that maintained the water dragon disappeared and turned into an overwhelming current, drawing a large number of Sunagakure ninjas into it, forming a small lake that appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Ibushi descended from the sky with Hanzo on his back, stood in the center of the small lake, started running, and instantly grabbed the body of a Sunagakure ninja who was standing tremblingly on the water and had just regained his balance.
It was a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth that swallowed the Sunagakure ninja whole.
Lightning illuminates the world.
Ibushi chewed with his teeth and rolled his throat.
The slimy sound of saliva and the sound of breaking bones reappeared. It was a nightmare-like sound that would send chills down your back.
Hanzo, who stood above Ibushi, looked down at the gathered Sunagakure ninjas with cold eyes.
At this moment, Hanzo noticed something, it was a dangerous signal.
"Ibushi!"
It's too late.
Ibushi screamed, and a bloody hole was punched in the side of his body by some kind of sharp weapon.
Ibushi turned his body angrily, intending to tear the attacker's body into pieces with his black claws.
The sneak attacker calmly raised his arm dyed black.
boom!
The huge force causes the water flow to form a wall of water all around, and then turns into waves and pushes towards the outside.
Hanzo's eyes widened slightly.
The sneak attacker blocked Ibushi's attack.
The sneak attacker half-knelt on the water, frowning tightly, groaning in pain, and used all his strength to barely block Ibushi's hook.
Those green eyes looked up and stared at Hanzo.
"I remember you are..."
Hanzo seemed to recognize the identity of the attacker.
The sneak attacker stepped back, out of Ibushi's attack range, and took a deep breath.
"Long time no see, Hanzo, I will accept your head."
"Are you even going to join me in my fight, Kakuzu?"
Hanzo snorted coldly and called out the sneak attacker's name.
"Because this is a business, getting rid of you before the value of your head depreciates is the only way to preserve the value."
"Then I'll give you a ride!"
Hanzo's eyes turned cold.
It is definitely not easy for Kakuzu to appear here. It is probably a trump card that Iwagakure supports to give Sunagakure.
A bounty hunter colluding with the underground black market, or a defecting ninja like Kakuzu, only Iwagakure is so shameless.
"I wish I could, but it seems like your men can't hold on any longer."
Kakuzu sneered, murderous.
Hanzo turned around and looked, and it was true as Kakuzu said. Under the siege and offensive of the Sunagakure ninjas, no matter how stubbornly the Amegakure ninjas resisted, they were retreating steadily.
"Ibushi!"
Ibushi glared at Kakuzu angrily and began to rush towards the battlefield where the Amegakure ninjas were.
The Sunagakure ninjas kept stepping forward to stop them, but faced with the furious Ibushi and Hanzo who was hunting from the side with his sword skills, there was no way to limit their pace.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The huge water dragon roared out again, forcing the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas to retreat, then turned into floods and impacted their bodies, turning the earth into a lake.
"Hanzo-sama!"
Kanzo jumped on Ibushi's back, pulled out the broken blade inserted into his arm, and stood next to Hanzo covered in blood.
"It doesn't matter, Kanzang?"
Hanzo couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his cronies in such miserable condition.
Kanzo wiped the blood on his face, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, because this is Hanzo-sama's will."
"I will take you back alive and then put this country in order."
Hanzo said firmly.
"I believe Hanzo-sama."
"But speaking of which, support from Konoha still hasn't arrived?"
Hanzo had a confused look on his face.
"Konoha's support?" Kanzo thought for a moment and replied: "No, I don't think they will come to support."
"?"
Poof!
The blade pierced through the chest, and blood spattered on Ibushi's back.
Hanzo's body stiffened, looking at the blade that penetrated from his back to his chest, and looked at Kanzo in disbelief.
"Kanzang, you..."
Kanzo turned around and kicked Hanzo hard in the abdomen, sending him flying down onto Ibushi's body.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped off Ibushi's back and quickly hid in the crowd of Sunagakure.
"I'm sorry, Master Hanzo, I don't want to die with you. It would be better if I hid in the village like before. I am obviously greedy for life and afraid of death to the extreme, and I will only linger on. How can I be a hero at this time?"
If that were the case, I wouldn't betray him. Kanzang thought to himself.
Therefore, he despises Hanzo very much.
As long as we continue to be greedy for life and afraid of death, why should we stand up and resist? Are you going to drag a close confidant like him to die with you?
With his body aging to this point and countless hidden wounds, fighting against Sunagakure would definitely lead to death no matter how he looked at it.
"Hanzo-sama!"
"Kanzo, you bastard!"
The Amegakure ninja was anxious and his angry curses spread.
The medical ninja quickly stopped Hanzo's bleeding.
Then the knife stabbed Hanzo in too much pain.
Not only the physical pain, but also the mental pain.
Why did Kanzang betray himself?
Do you regard him as your closest confidant?
Teach him swordsmanship, ninjutsu, and even give him part of the power of Yuyin Village, and treat him with all his heart...
Pain, loss...but no regrets.
"It's over, Hanzo. Let me see you off for the last time and give you the last puppet drama!"
Chiyo sighed and took out a scroll from his ninja bag.
The confrontation between me and Hanzo in the past is still vivid in my mind, and I really don’t want to send my old friend away in this way.
But in order to reduce Sunagakure's losses, she had to accept Kanzo's surrender and use despicable ghost tricks to defeat Hanzo.
It was also because of this that she dared to face off against the alliance of Konoha and Amegakure.
After killing Hanzo, it was the turn of Konoha from the Land of Fire.
For this reason, she wanted to hold a grand funeral for Hanzo, her old friend.
A white scroll was spread out in mid-air, and what appeared on the scroll was a different and weird spell mark.
I saw the scroll floating in mid-air, Chiyo quickly formed seals, and the ten characters on the scroll immediately rushed out of purple chakra, wrapping the characters and rushing out of the paper of the scroll.
The characters mixed with purple chakra turned into physical humanoid puppets, uniformly clad in white robes and holding different weapons, appearing around Chiyo and surrounding her.
"It's so awesome. That's the legendary Chiyo Elder's most powerful white secret technique of puppetry - Chikamatsu Ten People!"
"Yes, you can control a puppet with one finger. It's a living legend."
The puppet masters naturally showed expressions of excitement and excitement. Those layman ninjas who did not know the art of puppetry also understood how difficult it was to control ten puppets and how terrifying the power they could exert was.
"It's the puppet old woman's ten-finger technique. Now I'm in trouble, cough..."
Hanzo frowned in pain and stood up from the ground. His limbs were cold and almost unconscious.
The condition of his body was even more troublesome than Hanzo imagined.
Now just standing up is already exhausting all my strength.
Konoha's support has not arrived for a long time, and it may have been ambushed and intercepted by another army of Sunagakure.
Kanzo's betrayal made him understand that his and Konoha's march route map had been known to Sunagakure, and it was impossible to support him.
What to do next?
Will you die?
Hanzo felt fear again.
If he hadn't gone against Sunagakure, he wouldn't have faced this danger, wouldn't have been betrayed by Kanzo, and wouldn't have lost his precious life.
He will be a demigod in people's hearts.
The undefeated legend of Yuyin Village.
But now...
Hanzo was frightened when he saw the mockery and contempt in the eyes of the Sunagakure ninjas.
The legend of being a demigod no longer exists.
The title he earned from fighting on the battlefield all his life was worthless when he was trampled on at this moment.
Yes, I am already afraid of life and death, so why do I have to stand up? Hanzo asked himself.
Isn't it enough to live well, maintain that undefeated legend, and accept the respect and admiration of others as a matter of course?
Hero, peace, so ridiculous.
This ridiculous decision was made because of this stupid country.
But it doesn't matter, my body can still move.
If you can move, you can escape.
Being able to escape means staying alive.
Yes, as long as I escape here...
Hanzo's eyes burned with the desire to live.
Want to live!
Don't want to die!
When he raised his feet to run back, blood splattered on his face, waking him up from his confusion.
It was an unfamiliar face.
He fell to the cold muddy ground.
Wearing Yugakure's forehead protector, he is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
He took the place of the distracted Hanzo and blocked the kunai and shurikens flying from a distance.
"Han...Hanzo-sama...little...be careful..."
His body convulsed slightly, with kunai and shurikens sticking out of his body, and his eyes gradually lost their look.
"I want to be a hero... and live... Mako is still waiting for me to go back... She said she wanted to marry a hero... but I can't go back..."
The mouth is still moving, but there is no sound.
He died with a smile on his face.
Hanzo stared blankly at the young corpse.
What is this young man doing?
Why should he block the enemy's attack for him and die himself?
He wanted to escape.
Sacrifice for the escaping shinobi, such a sacrifice was pointless and worthless.
Who is Mako?
I will marry you when I go back... Mako... she must be a beautiful and kind-hearted girl of the same age as Hua.
This thought came to Hanzo's mind, but his eyes lost all color.
Raising his arms, the world seemed to have stopped.
The blade cuts across.
A puppet wearing a white robe flew over and shattered from the middle, with wood pieces flying around.
"how come?"
Chiyo's eyes widened.
This old guy was stabbed by one of his own, which should have hurt his heart. The injury was so serious that it should be impossible for him to use the knife to cut with more power than before.
Why can it still exert such power?
"I didn't expect that he still retains such a strong power, but this is just a dying struggle. I accept that corpse worth 100 million taels without mercy."
Kakuzu was not frightened when he saw this scene. He had already seen through Hanzo's weak nature.
The green light in his eyes became brighter.
Money is the meaning of life.
Without money, the world would be nothing but indifference and betrayal.
◎
"Hurry up! We're almost there!"
In the stormy weather, Yahiko rushed towards the battlefield between Amegakure and Sunagakure.
There were more than a dozen Akatsuki members accompanying him, including Nagato and Konan.
"Yahiko, do we really want to stop this war?"
Nagato came to Yahiko's side and asked this sentence.
Yahiko clenched his fists and said with firm eyes:
"Yes, it must be stopped. The Kingdom of Rain can no longer withstand the disaster, and war will only make the Kingdom of Rain suffer more pain. Teacher Jiraiya also said that people will usher in an era of mutual understanding. .”
"But……"
"It's okay, Nagato, I will become a bridge for them to understand each other. If Mr. Jiraiya knows, he will also support me. Now Akatsuki must take this step to save this country!"
Yahiko's words clearly reached everyone's ears, allowing everyone to feel his determination to love peace and hope to quell the war.
