Seeing the scene before him, Onoki frowned.
The strength of this young man was far beyond their expectations.
Even though both he and Hanzo were getting on in age, they were still Kage-level powerhouses.
Yet, the two of them had been repeatedly overwhelmed by him.
And this guy's three tailed beasts were still being held back by a large number of ninja troops…
Without that distraction, Onoki couldn't even imagine what kind of devastation the battlefield would be facing right now.
Despite the shock, Onoki's face remained calm.
He said coldly, "Don't get too arrogant, boy."
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
A white beam of light shot down.
Rei didn't take it head-on. Instead, he dodged repeatedly, turning into streaks of light.
But this time, Onoki seemed determined to trap Rei here.
Beams of white light rained down one after another, instantly turning the ground into a cratered wasteland.
Rei didn't seem bothered.
He had plenty of stamina to spare. But Onoki…
He was old. His Chakra reserves were already limited, and he couldn't maintain this level of offense for long.
Sure enough, after a few minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Onoki finally began to breathe heavily.
"Huff… Huff…"
Rei, on the other hand, still stood there, calm and unshaken.
"I told you, Onoki… stop trying to act tough at your age," Rei said flatly.
He pressed his dragon claw down on the ground, releasing a tremendous surge of power.
"Let me show you the strength of youth."
The ground began to tremble violently. Deep cracks spread out from Rei's palm, quickly covering a radius of 20 meters, before expanding into a circle spanning several hundred meters.
Then, fierce flames surged from Rei's body, pouring violently into the earth.
"Sage Art – Flame Cloud Immortal Island!"
Massive chunks of earth began to rise, engulfed in flame.
The earth trembled as countless dust clouds fell from the levitating island.
Rei held the massive rock aloft with both hands. A crimson flame cloud enveloped the floating mass as it flew skyward.
Faster and faster, higher and higher!
And the direction?
Straight toward the Iwagakure forces!
"Damn brat!" Onoki cursed.
If that massive flaming rock fell, it didn't even need to land directly. The shockwave alone would cause devastating casualties to the Rock Shinobi troops.
Even the three tailed beasts had their attention drawn to the spectacle.
After all, something that massive was impossible to ignore.
"Don't tell me this brat plans to bury us all together?" growled Four-Tails, staring at the dark shadow covering most of the battlefield.
Two-Tails hesitated. "Probably not? Lord Rei doesn't seem like that kind of heartless guy…"
Still, Onoki wasn't about to let all his troops die here.
He quickly flew to the side of the massive island, dodging waves of flame. Then, pressing both old hands on the rock:
"Earth Style: Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
Massive amounts of Chakra flowed out, lightening the weight of the island.
Then—
"Earth Style: Earthquake Core!"
The floating island quaked as if struck by a natural disaster.
Cracks spread rapidly from within, until the entire mass shattered into countless rock fragments.
Rei glanced at Onoki, unfazed that his attack had been neutralized.
He never intended that technique to be decisive.
His true target was—
Hanzo of the Salamander!
The powerful tremor had destroyed Hanzo's armor completely.
His wiry, aged muscles were now exposed to the air.
Despite his age, terrifying strength still pulsed through his body.
Bright red blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"You're targeting this old man first?" Hanzo's expression was complex. He never imagined that he, the former demigod of the ninja world, would be the first to fall.
Rei's colossal body charged forward like a beast.
Hanzo's eyes narrowed coldly. He quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Exploding Flame Formation!"
An earth-shattering explosion erupted beneath their feet.
Violent flames burst from the cracks in the ground, instantly engulfing Rei's seven-to-eight-meter-tall body.
The intense heat gnawed at his flesh.
"This temperature…"
Rei's mace swung forward like a monstrous maw, shredding the flames in his path.
A massive black shadow burst from the inferno.
Golden pupils gleamed with overwhelming majesty.
Hanzo calmly rested his hand on the hilt of his blade and bowed slightly.
"Blink."
In an instant, he appeared at Rei's side and passed by him.
"Sword Style: Iai Slash!"
A terrifying blade sliced through the air.
A sickle-shaped wave of Chakra slashed across Rei's chest.
It landed!
Hanzo's eyes lit up.
As long as he could break the defense, his poison-laced blade would spread the toxin through Rei's bloodstream.
This poison only needed three seconds.
Just three seconds to kill even a giant beast several dozen meters tall!
No matter how strong Hanyu Simu's (Rei's) body was, there was no way he could withstand it.
But—
Something about the impact felt wrong…
As a strong man who emerged from the sea of blood and mountains of death, he was extremely sensitive to the feeling of impending death.
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
He looked at Simu.
The cut marks on his chest were emitting a faint golden light.
His pupils shrank.
What the hell is this?
"Old man with the pepper fish, hey!"
Onoki, high in the air, suddenly reminded anxiously.
Simu stomped on the ground heavily with both feet and jumped high.
Dark red thunder fell from the clouds.
Like a demon god's long spear, it stabbed heavily toward the ground!
The dreaded Conqueror's Haki poured out instantly.
"Third Generation, Yin Naraku!"
The red thunder light illuminated Hanzo's stunned face.
However, after so many years of combat experience, Hanzo reacted immediately.
"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"
A large amount of water gushed out from the ground, forming a spherical water prison to enclose him.
The thick mace fell down brazenly.
The huge Haki turned into a shockwave and hit the water sphere heavily.
The terrifying force impacted the water sphere.
Dark red lightning instantly penetrated into the water sphere.
It flickered throughout the entire sphere.
Under this powerful force, the entire water sphere began to boil.
Simu gripped the iron rod tightly with both hands and pressed down hard.
This huge water sphere finally couldn't hold and shattered!
The water droplets shattered, and the lightning bolts disconnected between the droplets.
But it also bought time for Hanzo.
He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge into the distance.
In the sky, Onoki's attack had locked onto him firmly.
Simu narrowed his eyes.
His whole body turned into a flash of light and disappeared, appearing in front of Hanzo in an instant.
The surging Conqueror's Haki once again burst out without reservation.
"David Thunderbolt Eight Trigrams!"
Hanzo's expression froze, then dark red lightning filled all the images in front of his eyes.
The sickle in Hanzo's hand was hastily swung out.
An irresistible force instantly blessed the thin sickle.
Under the bombardment of thunder, the sickle that had accompanied Hanzo in battle for many years gave off an unwilling cry.
Unfortunately, under absolute strength, this unwillingness could only turn into ashes and dissipate.
Numerous cracks appeared on the sickle, which finally broke unwillingly.
The dark red thunder formed a red beam of light, blasting Hanzo away viciously.
The moment Simu swung his mace, he dodged to the side.
Onoki's attack came as promised.
A beam of white light turned everything into nothingness.
Simu had already reacted immediately, but was still grazed on the shoulder.
The originally incomparably strong dragon scales only resisted for a moment before dissipating into atoms in the white light.
Simu glanced at the bloody, missing piece of his shoulder.
He frowned slightly.
Sure enough, even elementalization couldn't control the damage caused by Dust Release.
"As expected of Tsuchikage-sama, that's terrifying."
This kind of wound wasn't a serious injury to Simu, who had mastered the Return of Life.
It would take a few minutes to heal.
As long as he didn't get hit again, he would be fine.
Paying such a small price would be worth it to eliminate an enemy.
Simu looked at the ruins in the distance.
"Hmm... Should I say, it's worthy of being a demigod?"
In the center of the ruins, a huge black shadow appeared.
As the smoke dissipated, a small mountain of salamanders lay on the ground.
Blood gushed from its mouth like a waterfall.
And Hanzo slowly crawled out from under the salamander.
All the armor on his body was broken.
Even the gas mask on his face had disappeared.
His mysterious face was revealed.
It looked serious, indifferent, and a little old.
Onoki breathed a sigh of relief.
If Hanzo was really dead, the rest of him would be in a precarious situation.
Simu looked at the summoned beast behind Hanzo.
It seemed that he had made the same choice as Orochimaru.
When dying, he called out the summoned beast to take his place.
"But..."
Simu raised his finger, and countless celestial chakra and Devil Fruit energies gathered in it.
"Immortal Technique: Great Core Jade!"
A light spot, like a firefly, came out.
Then it quickly split, became bigger and bigger, and flew towards Hanzo like the sun.
Since this guy was so good at running, Simu decided to cover him with absolute coverage!
Hanzo had carefully studied Simu's information before coming here.
Knowing that the Third Kazekage had been killed by this move, he didn't dare to neglect and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge frantically into the distance.
Simu shook his raised arm hard.
At this moment, the sphere of light was still between Simu and Hanzo.
With Simu's movement, this huge ball of light exploded instantly.
In an instant, the golden light swallowed everything.
Onoki hurriedly flew toward the sky.
His face was extremely ugly.
At this distance, Simu would inevitably be enveloped by his own spell, and thus suffer huge damage.
But!
With Simu's terrifying physique, it was hard to say whether this kind of attack could kill him.
As for Hanzo, he must die!
