"It's the Hiding in Mist Technique. Don't fight him in the mist, and don't scatter to let him defeat us one by one. Regroup quickly!"
With his field of vision restricted by the thick fog, Orochimaru instantly understood Hanzo the Salamander's intention and shouted loudly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Orochimaru's pupils constricted, and his back felt cold.
Too late to form seals for the Earth Replacement Technique, he didn't hesitate to turn around and shoot a golden beam from his hand.
Clang!
The ninja sword collided with the Raijin Sword, emitting a harsh sound, but no sparks flew, nor did a scene of wrestling occur.
Just as the ninja sword and the Raijin Sword collided, explosive tags that seemed to have a consciousness of their own crawled out from Hanzo the Salamander's wrist. Then his body turned into a pool of water, leaving only the ninja sword covered in explosive tags.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosions rang out, blasting dazzling flames in the rain and white mist.
Hanzo the Salamander played this hand of explosive tags to perfection.
Orochimaru never expected the opponent to use the move of abandoning the sword to detonate explosive tags. Still too late to use a technique, and unable to achieve Hanzo the Salamander's level of Body Flicker, he could only burst the Chakra gathered at the soles of his feet and leap backward forcefully.
Even so, the blast wave generated by multiple explosive tags shattered Orochimaru's goggles, but fortunately, the gas mask was undamaged.
Swish—
While leaping backward in the air, a harsh sound of breaking air suddenly reached Orochimaru's ears.
Before he could face that direction and judge whether it was a Ninjutsu or a weapon by the sound.
With a splat, the tip of a sickle pierced through the heavy armor and sank into his flesh, causing Orochimaru to show a painful expression.
Then with a rip, accompanied by the clatter of chains being pulled.
A long bloody mark suddenly appeared on Orochimaru's back, making him scream uncontrollably.
"Ah—"
"Orochimaru!"
This scream allowed Tsunade and Jiraiya to finally lock onto his position and rush over quickly.
Just as Tsunade subconsciously wanted to treat Orochimaru to stop the bleeding, the latter hurried urged: "Don't treat me, leave this area quickly, or we'll all die!"
Splash...
Before Tsunade and Jiraiya could support Orochimaru to use Body Flicker together, the sound of splashing came to their ears again.
This time it wasn't the sound of chains shaking, but... the sound of ocean waves!
The next second, water engulfed the three of them.
Looking from a distance, one would find a lake appearing out of nowhere in the rocky area.
The massive water flow finally washed away the thick fog but also deprived the Sannin of their mobility.
At this moment, they were shocked to find three Hanzo the Salamanders shooting towards them in the water at arrow-like speed, in a formation similar to the Dance of the Crescent Moon.
Called the "Old Man with a Snorkel" by Chiyo, Hanzo the Salamander's mask was specially made, possessing the function of an oxygen tank, allowing him to move freely in the water. Combined with his consummate Water Body Flicker, no one's speed in the water could surpass his.
The speed of these three Hanzo the Salamanders was also fast enough not to give the Sannin a chance to form seals.
Perhaps due to tacit understanding, the Sannin thought of the Rasengan developed by Gojo Yoru almost simultaneously.
If they could survive this battle, they must learn the new hand-seal-less Ninjutsu.
If they all mastered the Rasengan, even if trapped in Water Release, facing the incredibly fast Hanzo the Salamander in the water, they would have the ability to resist.
Perhaps because they thought of Gojo Yoru at the same time.
A black flash appeared out of thin air. Gojo Yoru actually appeared in front of them, holding a blue-white energy sphere in his hand and slapping it forward.
The irregularly high-speed rotating Rasengan immediately churned countless tons of water, forming a similarly high-speed rotating water tornado, attacking the three Hanzo the Salamanders like Water Release: Water Fang Bullet.
What made the Sannin unable to even form seals was not only the astonishing underwater speed of the three Hanzo the Salamanders but also because they could instantly cast Water Release Ninjutsu while moving.
After Senju Tobirama's death, the one most skilled in Water Release in the Ninja World was not the Mizukage of Kirigakure, but Hanzo the Salamander.
His Water Release was strong enough to simplify the Water Dragon Bullet Technique from forty-four hand seals to just four.
On the territory of the Land of Rain, he could instantly create lake-level Water Release attacks.
His Water Release nature transformation had reached the peak of perfection; a single drop of water could turn into a sharp blade and shoot out.
Combined with Water Body Flicker and the special mask, except for having less Chakra and not knowing Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique which could absorb Ninjutsu and instantly drain the opponent's Chakra, Hanzo the Salamander's combat power and deterrence in water were even stronger than Kisame Hoshigaki of later generations.
Gojo Yoru teleporting with the Rasengan, and then the Rasengan creating a water tornado, happened almost in an instant.
In this brief moment, the three Hanzo the Salamanders simultaneously controlled the surrounding water flow, turning it into several similarly high-speed rotating water columns to collide with the water tornado.
Then several huge water blades bypassed the water tornado and water columns, flying towards Gojo Yoru and the others.
Gojo Yoru was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that his surprise attack on these three Hanzo the Salamanders, who were obviously Shadow Clones or Water Clones, would be not only withstood but also countered.
This mastery of Water Release, and this terrifying combat experience—was this the strength of the Demigod of the Ninja World?
No wonder Orochimaru and the others were nearly wiped out before he could find an opportunity to kill the Salamander.
It seemed Hanzo the Salamander held back quite a bit against the Sannin in the original work.
If not for Hanzo the Salamander seeing no hope of victory in the war and unwilling to completely offend Konoha, the Sannin might have really been killed by him.
Now, the butterfly effect caused by Gojo Yoru brought the battle between the Demigod and the Sannin ahead of schedule. This pinnacle of the Ninja World truly had killing intent.
The gap between the Sannin, who were still only at the Elite Jonin level, and this person was simply like a chasm.
No wonder Enma blamed Sarutobi Hiruzen for not killing Orochimaru back then during the Konoha Crush plan in the original work.
These few strongest of different types could really easily kill the Sannin now.
Unable to teleport with all three at the same time, Gojo Yoru was about to use a technique to block the incoming water blades.
At this moment, a water dragon flew overhead, eating the wind blades and also eating the three Hanzo the Salamanders, turning them all into smoke.
It turned out Orochimaru wasn't just watching but had taken advantage of the brief time Gojo Yoru bought to complete the seals for a counterattack.
Eliminating the three Hanzo the Salamander Shadow Clones with one move, Orochimaru immediately signaled Gojo Yoru, then dived downward.
Gojo Yoru teleported away with Tsunade and Jiraiya successively.
Soon, the four regrouped on a huge rock secretly marked with a Flying Thunder God formula by Gojo Yoru.
Since one used Earth Body Flicker to escape and the other three teleported away, it wouldn't be easy for Hanzo the Salamander to find them in a short time.
"Original plan canceled. We cannot fight him in the Land of Rain."
While receiving treatment from Tsunade's Mystical Palm Technique, Orochimaru said quickly: "The rain curtain, water flow, and moisture in the air here are natural aids for Hanzo. When he casts Water Release here, whether it's large-scale Water Release requiring massive Chakra or Water Body Flicker, it's almost as fast as instant casting."
"Even if the poison gas is hard to disperse in the forest, we must lure him into the forest; otherwise, we'll only die faster."
Jiraiya suddenly suggested: "How about... we retreat?"
Seeing the three staring at him, Jiraiya glanced at Gojo Yoru, who had taken a soldier pill and was racing against time to recover Chakra, and stated his reasons: "Although I don't know what trump cards the Gojo kid is hiding, that guy Hanzo is obviously wary of this too. After using the Hiding in Mist Technique, we don't know which one is his main body at all."
"The Yamanaka clan members in the Sensing Squad didn't use the Mind Body Transmission Technique to warn us, meaning even the Sensing Squad doesn't know where Hanzo's main body is hiding."
"Wanting to assassinate the number one assassin in the Ninja World is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"The Salamander's defense can withstand many hits even from Five Elements Ninjutsu, and it can return to the summoning world immediately upon being hit. I feel assassinating it is even harder than assassinating Hanzo."
"Why don't we play hide-and-seek with him like Sunagakure did, wait until we develop the antidote formula and improve our strength, then seek revenge?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru and Tsunade wavered.
Choosing to run away from the Demigod of the Ninja World was never a disgrace but a wise move.
Staying to fight Hanzo the Salamander to the death, unless covering for companions, would make having their names carved on the Memorial Stone feel like tarnishing the martyrs.
Orochimaru originally thought Gojo Yoru's Dimensional Slash first-encounter kill could take the opportunity to do what the Five Great Ninja Villages couldn't—kill Hanzo the Salamander or that number one poisonous creature in the Ninja World.
Unexpectedly, these three seniors dragged Gojo Yoru down instead.
Now hearing Jiraiya say this, Orochimaru felt it made sense.
No need to rush!
Neither the three of them nor Gojo Yoru had fully grown yet.
Once they developed the antidote formula and could carry large amounts of antidote to ignore the Salamander's poison directly, they might not be unable to fight Hanzo the Salamander.
In the battle just now, they had already collected some intelligence on Hanzo the Salamander, knowing what kind of assassination methods he liked and excelled at.
They also experienced the power of his Water Release and knew which aspects to improve to counter it.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru was about to nod in agreement with the retreat proposal.
At this moment, Gojo Yoru suddenly spoke: "How about... let me try again."
Facing the gazes of the three seniors, Gojo Yoru only looked at Orochimaru, speaking words only the two understood: "I have a new technique that might prevent the Salamander from returning to the summoning world upon being hit, or even kill it."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up immediately, and he made a decision instantly: "Then try again. We'll continue to cover you and go out to attract Hanzo's attention."
"This time I'll act quickly. Just buy me a few minutes."
Leaving this sentence, Gojo Yoru dived underground.
Tsunade finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. While continuing to treat Orochimaru, she asked, "Orochimaru, what trump card is that Gojo kid hiding that makes you so confident in him?"
"Yeah, is it some Hiden technique or Kekkei Genkai?" Jiraiya was equally curious and speculated, "I remember the Gojo family doesn't seem to have Hiden technique inheritance, nor is it a Kekkei Genkai clan. Before marrying Hayate, Mio was also from a civilian family without a surname. Could it be that Mio's ancestors had an extraordinary origin, or is the Gojo family like the Kurama clan, possessing a super-rare Kekkei Genkai that appears every few generations?"
Regarding their curiosity, Orochimaru just chuckled lightly: "Sorry, I promised Yoru I would keep his secret. Unless Yoru exposes it himself, or the whole Ninja World guesses it, I won't tell anyone, including Sarutobi-sensei."
"So mysterious, is it that powerful?" Jiraiya couldn't help but complain.
Tsunade also couldn't help but complain: "The Slug Sage said so, and you say so too. Doesn't this make people even more curious?"
Orochimaru's gaze focused, and he turned to look at Tsunade: "The Slug Sage also knows Yoru's secret?"
"Yeah, the Slug Sage said that Gojo kid is a new miracle of the Ninja World." Tsunade continued to complain, "Besides my grandfather, I can't think of anyone else who could be called a 'Miracle of the Ninja World.' Did that Gojo kid awaken Wood Release too?"
Jiraiya's expression froze.
Hearing the word "Sage," he couldn't help but think of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
Miracle of the Ninja World, not Child of Prophecy?
Could it be a difference in addressing?
If so, didn't that mean Gojo Yoru was the Child of Prophecy he had been looking for?
But... Gojo Yoru wasn't his disciple, which didn't match the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
Orochimaru didn't know Jiraiya's thoughts and continued to ask, "Then didn't you ask the Slug Sage?"
"I asked, but the Slug Sage refused to say, saying Shikkotsu Forest dares not offend that Gojo kid." Tsunade's answer made Jiraiya's heart tremble again.
This evaluation matched the Great Toad Sage's prophecy even more.
The Child of Prophecy would bring a major revolution to this Ninja World in the future, either bringing unprecedented peace or unprecedented destruction.
Could that Child of Prophecy really be Gojo Yoru?
And Orochimaru's next words were the real critical hit.
"The Slug Sage is right. You just need to know that when Yoru grows up, he will be the new God of Shinobi." Orochimaru said with determined eyes, "Before he grows up, I will be his guide."
Jiraiya: "⊙﹏⊙|||"
Great Toad Sage, are you senile and made a wrong prophecy?
Actually, you wanted to pull Orochimaru into Mount Myoboku back then, but pulled the wrong person and got me, his teammate, instead, right?
While Tsunade was shocked, her curiosity about Gojo Yoru reached its peak.
So much so that she couldn't help but recall the scenes in the cave.
That brat's height and mentality inconsistent with his age, his aggressive attitude and offense towards her completely different from others, and this terrifying potential destined to become the pinnacle of the Ninja World, or even the New God of Shinobi—all turned into a trace of strange emotion that even Tsunade didn't notice.
Orochimaru didn't know what the two were thinking, assuming they were just shocked.
Feeling the severe pain in his back disappear, Orochimaru stood up and said seriously: "Let's act. Be more cautious this time; we must buy enough time for Yoru."
"Okay!"
Recovering their senses, Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded in unison.
Out of trust for their partner, the Slug Sage, and the Great Toad Sage... this time, the Sannin surprisingly reached a consensus, placing absolute trust in Gojo Yoru.
Then three blurs flew out, moving at high speed by stepping on the tops of rocks, and soon attracted Hanzo the Salamander.
"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!"
Hanzo the Salamander used the same tactic as before, creating a large area of thick fog, restricting the Sannin's field of vision.
Swish swish swish...
A series of breaking air sounds quickly reached the Sannin's ears.
Then boom boom boom explosion sounds resounded.
Hanzo the Salamander didn't engage in close-range assassination but threw a large number of kunai with explosive tags attached to the ends, bombing the Sannin.
With restricted vision, Chakra everywhere in the thick fog, and their Sensing Techniques blocked, the Sannin were still somewhat passive.
However, their mission was to buy time for Gojo Yoru, so they cooperated with Hanzo the Salamander's attacks, making themselves more passive in an attempt to lure him over.
Unfortunately, Hanzo the Salamander was too cautious. This time he had no intention of getting close at all, constantly attacking them from a distance.
While dodging, a doubt flashed in Orochimaru's mind.
Why were there no sickles with chains, which pierced his armor easily before, among these long-range attacks?
That sickle, which could easily pierce Jonin armor, was obviously not an ordinary weapon but a ninja tool made of materials similar to or even better than Chakra blades, possessing some special characteristic.
Could this pinnacle of the Ninja World be toying with them, or wary of Gojo Yoru who could hide his Chakra aura and be undetectable by even strong sensing, daring not to throw his personal weapon?
Or could it be that this Hanzo the Salamander... was still not the main body?
Orochimaru wanted to test it, but unfortunately, Hanzo the Salamander didn't give him a chance.
Seeing his own village's signature Ninjutsu used to perfection by the enemy, Orochimaru finally understood the feelings of those Iwa ninjas he killed.
Truly disgusting!
Fortunately, Gojo Yoru's target wasn't Hanzo the Salamander at all. Orochimaru's mood improved a lot, and he continued to cooperate with Hanzo the Salamander, whether main body or Shadow Clone.
Unlike the Sannin who were crushed by Hanzo the Salamander and even considered retreating...
The battle between the four beasts was always in a heated stage.
Unlike human organs, the three beasts had amazing breath-holding capabilities. For the Salamander's poison to completely enter their bodies, becoming strong enough to force them back to the summoning world, required quite some time.
As for returning due to physical attacks breaking their defense, that was even harder.
The Slug Sage seemed the easiest to bully, but in reality, its soft body, corrosive mucus, and internal natural energy made its defense the strongest present.
Next was the Salamander, whose age was second only to the Slug Sage and was larger than Gamabunta and Manda.
As a four-legged beast, the Salamander could physically burrow and dig holes underground.
It could also use its special ability to swim through the earth like the sea or a pond.
The latter consumed energy and reduced the time it could stay in the real world, but the speed was astonishingly fast, which was the main reason Gojo Yoru couldn't find an opportunity before.
Besides poison and speed, the Salamander's massive size also possessed powerful defensive capabilities; explosive tags and ordinary Five Elements Ninjutsu could hardly break its defense.
Its tail was harder and more powerful than the current Manda's. Both Gamabunta and Manda would return to the summoning world if hit.
Coupled with being as cautious as its contractor, the Salamander played Gamabunta and Manda in the palm of its hand through kiting tactics, making them extremely irritable.
"Stinky toad, can't you spit oil? Use Fire Release on it! Why are you spitting water balls on this rainy day?"
"I can spit oil, but I can't spit fire."
"Then why are you holding that pipe?!"
"Can't you see it's raining? The tobacco went out long ago. Usually, Jiraiya lights it for me."
"Useless, I really want to eat you in one bite."
"What did you say, stinky snake? Do you want to become a snakeskin wallet?!"
As the toad and the giant snake argued, they suddenly had the urge to defect to the enemy camp and help the enemy kill their teammate. The Salamander, who didn't understand human language, had a brain crash watching this.
If its expression weren't anthropomorphic, it would look dumbfounded right now.
Coincidentally, Gamabunta and Manda's argument created an opportunity for Gojo Yoru.
While the Salamander stood still, possibly watching the show, a lump suddenly bulged on the ground, quickly turning into a figure reaching for the Salamander's belly.
This angle was the Salamander's blind spot.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to react.
And indeed, the Salamander didn't move, as if it hadn't noticed Gojo Yoru's existence.
Just as Gojo Yoru's palm was about to touch the Salamander.
A transparent drop of water suddenly oozed from its white belly, seemingly no different from the raindrops falling on its body.
But as this drop of water oozed out, black lines suddenly appeared on the Salamander's pure white belly.
These lines formed rectangles, and then the black lines spread to form the character for "Explode," emitting sparks.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosions resounded. Flames engulfed Gojo Yoru, and dust turned into a mushroom cloud several meters high, rising up.
The Salamander's figure leaped out of the mushroom cloud, landing on a massive rock resembling a fake mountain not far from the explosion, transforming into a giant gecko.
At the same time, the Salamander opened its mouth and blew a breath towards the explosion site. Instead of spewing poison smoke, it blew out a huge airflow, dispersing the dust created by the explosion.
The original Gojo Yoru had already turned into a puddle of mud.
The Gojo Yoru just now was obviously just an Earth Clone.
While destroying the Earth Clone, the Salamander and Hanzo the Salamander also gathered intelligence on Gojo Yoru's ability.
When hiding underground, that ability could perfectly conceal Chakra aura; even it, equally skilled at burrowing, couldn't find him.
But he eventually had to emerge from underground, at which point he would inevitably expose his Chakra.
As long as they set up Explosive Tag Barriers at the bottom of the limbs and tail in advance, like on the belly, to block the Flying Thunder God formula, this hidden ability was nothing to fear!
Unfortunately, the Salamander's appearance wasn't anthropomorphic; otherwise, its expression in the next second would be very colorful.
Above that puddle of mud, Gojo Yoru's figure appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air in a lying posture. His left hand grabbed his right elbow, and his right hand made a finger-flicking gesture towards the Salamander.
Swish—
At the junction of his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, a marble-sized energy cluster was flashing with dazzling light.
It was a three-colored light cluster formed by compressing and high-speed rotating dense blackness, resulting in a trace of purple and containing a trace of blue.
Gojo Yoru's icy blue eyes reflected these three lights at this moment.
This colorful pupil color made his handsome face seem to radiate a trace of divine brilliance.
"...Hollow Purple."
Gojo Yoru calmly chanted the name of this technique, then flicked his finger.
The marble-sized energy light cluster shot out instantly.
Then a terrifying scene unfolded.
Where the energy light cluster passed, ripples appeared in the surrounding space, rapidly expanding and growing, rotating at high speed like a shuriken.
Unlike the harsh sound produced by the high-speed rotation of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, this shuriken pattern was formed by space ripples, nearly transparent and soundless.
And unlike the horizontal rotation of the Rasenshuriken, the space ripples of this energy sphere expanded both vertically and horizontally simultaneously.
Consequently, this marble-sized energy cluster produced an effect with a huge killing range.
The space ripples just grazed the ground while rotating, and a circular gap with smooth edges appeared on the potholed rocky ground.
If Gojo Yoru hadn't shot it towards the fake mountain-like tall rock but let this energy sphere fly straight along the ground, it would have plowed a very long and deep gully.
The transformation process of the energy cluster seemed very slow, but in reality, it turned into this form in an instant after being flicked by Gojo Yoru.
The circular gap with smooth edges was less than three meters away from Gojo Yoru's feet.
Carrying rotating space ripples, the light cluster flashed like a meteor, instantly shooting in front of the fake mountain-like rock.
Before touching it, the rotating space ripples had already destroyed the rock mountain body. The crushed stones were swept into it by the space ripples, continuing to shatter while following the path to the light cluster, then seeming to turn into powder or be swallowed by a black hole, completely turning into nothingness.
Even the astonishingly fast Salamander couldn't react at this moment, unable to dodge at all.
It instinctively wanted to dispel the Summoning Technique and return to the summoning world.
But the rotating space ripples disrupted the space-time power connecting to the summoning world.
Unable to return to the summoning world, the Salamander's mind went blank, and it could only stare blankly at the three-colored meteor shooting towards it.
Just when the Salamander thought it was doomed, its massive body suddenly turned into a huge mass of water, turning into nothingness together with the huge rock.
Like a small black hole, the three-colored meteor continued to fly in the air with undiminished power, disappearing into the rainy night sky truly like a meteor.
If someone had night vision, they would find that where the meteor passed, the rain curtain was like a cut piece of paper, with a trace of nothingness appearing.
Unfortunately, the energy contained in the energy sphere was too little, and the volume wasn't large enough to fly too far or too high.
Otherwise, everyone watching this battlefield might have seen the spectacular scene of a hole being blasted in the dark clouds.
Even so, the three beasts watching from a distance, and the Sannin who happened to see this scene because the thick fog dissipated for some unknown reason, were all dumbfounded.
After a long time, these three people and three beasts finally recovered their senses.
Jiraiya's voice trembled: "Th... what was that? Meteor, laser?"
Gulp...
Tsunade swallowed her saliva, shocked into speechlessness.
While Orochimaru's eyes trembled, he was analyzing the principle of this technique, feeling very regretful in his heart.
Pity it was night; he couldn't see clearly at all.
If it were daytime, he might have been able to analyze some effects and principles.
That new application of space-time, even if he couldn't learn it, could give him considerable inspiration.
"...WTF?!"
Gojo Yoru, who shocked both people and beasts, still had an expressionless cool look on his face, but in his heart, he uttered a phrase in a foreign language.
What did he just see?
The massive Salamander actually used the Water Body Flicker Technique.
Was he cheating, or was that fish cheating?
Ignoring these thoughts, Gojo Yoru, whose Space-Time Chakra had bottomed out and whose Space-Time Yin Seal had automatically disappeared, hurriedly used the last of his Space-Time Chakra to teleport back to Orochimaru's side, urging, "Orochimaru-sensei, run!"
Then a scene of filial piety appeared. Gojo Yoru abandoned the Sannin and took the lead in running towards the central tower in the forest area.
Recovering their senses, the Sannin hurriedly dispelled the Summoning Technique and followed closely behind.
On top of a distant rock, rainwater condensed into the figure of Hanzo the Salamander.
From a distance, he looked at Gojo Yoru, whose Chakra intensity was clearly only at the Chunin level but had used less than half of his Chakra to unleash that technique just now, his eyes trembling.
Before understanding the principle of that technique and finding a solution, Hanzo the Salamander didn't dare to chase.
He was afraid Gojo Yoru would fire another shot!
From the beginning of the battle, Hanzo the Salamander's attention wasn't on the Sannin at all.
After fighting the Sannin and understanding their strength, Hanzo the Salamander created a huge lake and stopped fighting the enemy with his main body. Instead, he created some Shadow Clones to deal with them successively.
As for his main body, he secretly hid inside the Salamander's body.
Others entering it would definitely die of poison, but Hanzo the Salamander, with a poison sac implanted in his body, was unaffected.
With his strength and Body Flicker, Hanzo the Salamander didn't think Gojo Yoru could hurt him.
The magical thing about the Flying Thunder God Technique was that it could attach a Flying Thunder God formula, said to never disappear, to people and objects.
Gojo Yoru's target, from beginning to end, was only his partner, the Salamander.
Hanzo the Salamander played along, secretly setting up an Explosive Tag Barrier on his partner's body, which could block the Flying Thunder God formula and take the opportunity to blow up the opponent.
It succeeded, but only blew up an Earth Clone.
He thought that Earth Clone was just a probe, but unexpectedly, it was a diversion for that technique.
Like the Salamander, Hanzo the Salamander immediately wanted to dispel his partner's Summoning Technique, letting it return to the summoning world, and then teleport away himself.
Unexpectedly, that technique could interfere with the Summoning Technique, preventing his partner from returning to the summoning world.
If he weren't inside his partner's body, and if he couldn't take his partner with him using the Water Body Flicker Technique, his partner and he would have really gone to the Pure Land together.
That boy... is not simple!
Thinking of the scene where Gojo Yoru used the Flying Thunder God Technique like a black flash, and how the Sannin addressed him, Hanzo the Salamander murmured, "Gojo kid, Yoru, Gojo Yoru... this name, this old man will forever carve into his heart."
"This mistake of being on the brink of life and death, this old man will absolutely not make again!"
