"I was waiting for the Poison Mist to seal off all your escape routes, what were you waiting for?"
Hanzō the Salamander's condescending gaze stared directly at Yamanaka Kei, who had not launched another attack.
Even with the interference of Water Release: Rain Cutting.
Nearly a minute of confrontation was enough for him to control his Summoning Beast, Salamander Ibuse's Poison Mist, sealing off all roads and hidden entrances in the surrounding blocks!
"Three, two, one!"
Yamanaka Kei began to count down under Hanzō the Salamander's solemn gaze.
Poof
The moment the countdown ended, Chakra smoke suddenly rose beneath Hanzō the Salamander's feet.
Salamander Ibuse, who was secretly continuing to accumulate Poison Mist, suddenly canceled the Summoning Technique without warning and disappeared from the spot.
"Damn it, you have accomplices!"
Hanzō the Salamander subconsciously thought of a feint.
He shouted loudly to the Rain Ninja Village ninjas around him.
"Teams two, three, and four, go to the Poison Pool immediately! Teams five and six, go to Rain Tower for support! The others send signals and seal off all entrances and exits of the village!"
"Yes! Lord Hanzō!"
Answers came quickly.
Several signal flares with special markings exploded in the sky!
Under Hanzō the Salamander's unparalleled prestige.
Even those Rain Ninja Village ninjas with extremely unstable mental states immediately began to act!
Looking up at Yamanaka Kei again.
The killing intent in Hanzō the Salamander's eyes almost materialized.
He swung the scythe in his hand and charged straight at him like an arrow.
Although he had transplanted a poison sac, he did not have the ability to produce large quantities of poison in a short period of time like Salamander Ibuse.
Once Ibuse had a problem.
His lethality against large-scale ninja units would definitely drop by more than one level!
And after losing this deterrent.
Given the current situation in the ninja world, Rain Ninja Village was likely to fall into endless war again!
"Bastard! Pray that Ibuse is safe and sound! Otherwise, you will regret coming into this world!"
Hanzō the Salamander cut open the poison sac on his waist with one hand, and the scythe in his hand pointed directly at Yamanaka Kei's vital neck.
He knew very well the importance of Ibuse.
But the brief exchange just now also made him aware of how much damage this Hozuki Clan ninja, who was proficient in assassination and Water Release, could cause to ordinary ninjas.
If left unchecked, I fear the Rain Ninja Village ninjas on the scene will suffer heavy casualties.
I must take him down as soon as possible and find Ibuse!
Secret Sword: Vacuum Sword!
Clang clang clang clang~
Streaks of Vacuum Sword slashes shot out, colliding with the Gou Lian and weight in Hanzō the Salamander's hands.
Compared to Madara Uchiha's combination of Gou Lian and war fan.
Hanzō the Salamander's weapons could be described as short and small. Although the attack speed was faster and more fierce, it undoubtedly lacked the ability to directly withstand attacks and forcibly break through.
Under Yamanaka Kei's Vacuum Sword, which he used while fighting and retreating, Hanzō the Salamander was directly held back.
Puchi~
Fresh blood spurted from Hanzō the Salamander's toes.
The suddenly triggered [Invisible Decapitation] cut off the opponent's left big toe at the root!
Hanzō the Salamander frowned. He thought that the long peaceful life had made him neglect to maintain his condition, thus missing a hidden slash.
Relying on his powerful willpower, he endured the severe pain when moving his feet.
Chakra constantly Burst from under his feet. He formed hand seals with one hand and used the Water Body Flicker Technique to accelerate his approach again.
In his opinion, with the intensity of the poison emanating from his waist and abdomen.
As long as close combat begins.
Coupled with the environment densely covered with Salamander Ibuse's poison, under the double poison, it would not take a minute for this guy in front of him to fall at his feet!
And if he used ninjutsu to entangle, the battle time would probably increase several times.
He couldn't wait that long!
Moreover, Vacuum Sword techniques are not uncommon.
Continuous use of this sword technique will inevitably cause great burden to the body.
At most, in a few more breaths.
The opponent's offensive will definitely slow down!
Clang clang clang clang~!
Constantly using skillful force to deflect the oncoming Vacuum Sword slashes.
Hanzō the Salamander, who was rushing towards the enemy, looked at the drastically reduced frequency of the slashes and the distance closing to about eight meters, and a cold, stern look burst out in his eyes.
His right hand held the Gou Lian, his waist bent to gather strength, and his left hand swung the weight to block the oncoming slash.
Puchi~
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood spurting suddenly came from his crotch.
Although he didn't look down.
But the warm sensation of blood flowing from his thigh still made Hanzō clearly aware of where he was injured.
"Damn bastard!"
Hanzō's eyes were bloodshot as he roared.
With adrenaline surging, the momentarily charged Iai Slash, fueled by rage, unleashed a power even greater than his peak!
His figure blurred into an afterimage, rushing towards the neck of the person before him!
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
Yamanaka Kei's eyes twitched slightly as he saw Hanzō's crotch stained with blood.
Damn it!
The thing he feared most had happened!
Fortunately, this was an enemy; otherwise, even the closest friendship would turn into an irreconcilable feud after such an attack!
"Die!"
Hanzō's eyes were bloodshot, completely deaf to what his enemy was saying.
The poison-laced Gou Lian was already closing in on Yamanaka Kei's neck in the blink of an eye.
The Super-Speed Reaction ability of Zero Frame Startup.
Allowed Yamanaka Kei to see through the opponent's trajectory even before Hanzō made his move.
Whoosh
The Flying Thunder God Technique activated!
Hanzō's eyes lost sight of his target, leaving only a withered Samehada behind!
The missed strike left him momentarily stunned.
It wasn't the Body Flicker Technique, nor a clone or illusion; he hadn't even fallen victim to a Genjutsu!
Could that movement just now be...
Before Hanzō could figure out the ninjutsu his enemy was using.
His rich combat experience made him instinctively slap his poison sac, releasing a large amount of poison gas to protect himself, guarding against a possible sneak attack.
He was about to forcibly twist his body to find the enemy's figure.
When a flash of light caught the corner of his eye, the enemy reappeared instantly beside his own Samehada!
He swung the Gou Lian in his hand, guarding his back, blocking any possible surprise attacks.
Unexpectedly, at the moment his attention was drawn away, two hands suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet, grabbing his ankles!
The ensuing intense feeling of restraint made his body stiffen for a moment.
This is...
The Mind Body Switch Technique of Konoha's Yamanaka Clan!
Thump～!
Fresh blood sprayed out in all directions from the headless neck.
Hanzō's spiraling head, after seeing the three solid Shadow Clones standing around him.
Suddenly recalled the name of the ninjutsu from just now.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
The space-time ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, who was once known as the fastest shinobi in the ninja world!
Glug glug～
Hanzō's head rolled on the ground.
Yamanaka Kei's Shadow Clone quickly stepped forward, using the Sealing Scroll thrown over by the main body to seal him inside.
'If you had just left a few subordinates around, I would have had to restrain myself a bit during the fight.'
He mentally complained.
Yamanaka Kei took the Sealing Scroll and threw it into the Ninja Tool Pouch on his waist.
Even if the enemy's head is dead, a large amount of information will remain for a certain period of time.
It should still be collected!
[Ding～ Killing an important supporting character, the development process of the world line has shifted slightly, obtaining: Trait Draw Chance ×1, Trait Gift Chance ×1, Trait Stripping Chance ×1.]
A large amount of Fate Power began to emanate from the dead Hanzō.
A portion of it, under the effect of the blue Fate-type Trait [Fate Weaver], quickly transformed into Luck Power and merged into Yamanaka Kei's body.
He glanced at the green mixed with blue Luck Power, which was obviously on the verge of advancing.
And the system-rewarded Trait Stripping Chance.
Yamanaka Kei slightly clenched his fist.
This trip was worth it!
Just the one Trait Stripping Chance alone makes this trip a big win!
He took the Salamander Summoning Contract scroll, which was half a person tall, from a Shadow Clone.
The other two Shadow Clones on the other side dispelled one after another.
The memory images of their actions also entered Yamanaka Kei's mind.
The three Evil God Sect members, along with the White Zetsu on them, had all been captured and transferred outside the Rain Ninja Village.
The Salamander Clan, including Ibuse and a total of five Salamanders, one large and four small, were all being continuously moved towards the Land of Fire by another Shadow Clone.
"It's time to retreat."
Yamanaka Kei adjusted the Hidden Mist Anbu mask on his face, slung the Salamander Clan's Summoning Contract scroll across his waist, and picked up the large Samehada blade.
Activating the Flying Thunder God Technique, he disappeared into the Rain Ninja Village.
