Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Damn it, this is outrageous!"

Under Madara Uchiha's repeated humiliations, Han, breaking down, disregarded all respect for elders and children, and directly unleashed his trump card. The joints of his grayish-white armor hummed, and the jets of steam were terrifying.
"Han, don't be impulsive!"

To be honest, even against Kurama, Kokuo would dare to swat him a couple of times, but against Uchiha Madara, he truly had the will but not the strength.

"Lao Mu, steam him to death immediately!"

But it was clear that Han, enraged and humiliated, was ignoring all advice; in his overloaded state, he had only one thought in mind: to sprint.
"Ugh"

Watching the man transform into a white lightning bolt and charge forward, King Mu could only shake his head and sigh within the Tailed Beast Space, praying that Madara Uchiha wouldn't stoop to the level of a young man.
"Not bad speed, but you're still a bit short of making me avoid your attacks."

Madara Uchiha, who had subtly activated his Sharingan, quickly tracked Han's movements, a faint expression of admiration appearing on his face.

"Clang!"

Facing the Han man charging menacingly towards him, he swung his halberd, the ear-piercing sound of it cutting through the air deafening.
"Xinei!"

Seeing that Madara Uchiha neither dodged nor avoided him, but instead seemed quite interested, Han's humiliation intensified. His footsteps quickened with his emotions, leaving a series of broken footprints on the hard ground.
The third move

Madara Uchiha, wielding his halberds in both hands, lunged forward. Flames erupted from the halberd tips, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield. His magnificent stage had arrived.
"boom!"

From Han's perspective, in the blink of an eye, Madara Uchiha's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.
In the second blink, the black halberd tip appeared between his brows, radiating a scorching heat that Han could clearly feel even through his mask.

"What?!"

Startled, Han tried to retreat and create distance, but found that his opponent's halberd spun around, and the terrifying suction of the spiraling flames rendered him unable to move an inch. He could only watch helplessly as he was hurled into the air by the halberd, to receive the ultimate bite from Madara Komakura.

"Unparalleled in the world!"

Magnificent fireworks exploded continuously in the air, with orange-red sparks flying everywhere, like dazzling fireworks blooming in the sky above Amegakure, injecting a touch of vitality into this village that had suffered so much pain.

Rumble!
That is…

Hanzo, who was dealing with the berserk, poisoned Komurasaki, looked up at the orange-red fireworks blooming in the sky, his eyes filled with confusion.
Are there other intruders?
Because of the immense destructive power of the rampaging Komurasaki, Hanzo, fearing it would cause widespread casualties, fought and retreated, leading it to an open area far from the shelter. Therefore, he did not witness firsthand Madara Uchiha's unparalleled feat of cleaving through the air with his halberd.
"Roar!"

A frenzied roar exploded in his ears, and Hanzo quickly regained his composure, adopting a wary fighting stance.

Now is not the time to consider these things, because Xiao Zi's current state is really too strange.

Normally, a person's fighting ability would be greatly reduced after being poisoned.

But Xiao Zi was different. Besides going berserk and indiscriminately attacking, her attack power and self-healing ability were both enhanced to an epic degree. Every punch dealt high damage, and even a mere glancing blow was enough to overwhelm him.
"Three minutes left."

After calculating the remaining duration of the Tailed Beast Potion, a ruthless glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes. He had to finish this quickly.

"Poison Sting!"

Thick venom seeped from his palms, transforming into two sharp spikes. Half-hidden crossed his arms and charged towards Little Purple, who was not far away.

"Whoosh!"

As he ran, he swung his hand, sending two poisonous thorns flying towards Xiao Zi's head and heart, respectively.

"Roar!"

As if sensing danger, Xiao Zi, emanating an unstable aura, let out a low growl and swung her fists violently. The scorching magma within her body erupted forth, completely engulfing the sharp, poisonous spikes.
"Sizzle"

It's now!

Hanzo's eyes lit up. Seizing the moment of weakness after the attack, he flashed behind Komurasaki and slashed down with his sharp poisoned blade.

"Pfft!"

A flash of light, and spurts of blood, with a pungent odor, erupted.

"Roar!"

It turned out that the poisonous sting from the front was just a feint; Hanzo's real purpose was to attack Komurasaki's relatively weak back. Now that the sneak attack had succeeded, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The highly toxic liquid attached to the poisoned blade seeped into Xiao Zi's body through the wound, stimulating his already chaotic nerves. His compound eyes, filled with purple toxin, flashed a savage crimson.

"Roar!!!"

With a piercing roar, scorching magma erupted from the ground beneath Xiao Zi's feet. Seeing this, Hanzo had no choice but to abandon his pursuit and retreat to avoid it.

"what happened?"

Looking at the poisoned blade in his hand, which had melted from the high temperature, Hanzo's brows furrowed into a deep frown. How could this guy still be so energetic after consuming so much of his poison?

The frenzied Little Purple bathed in the surging lava, the purple in its compound eyes gradually being replaced by a chilling scarlet.

"Ugh! How disgusting!"

Inside the Tailed Beast Card space, Son Goku, soaking in a swamp of viscous venom, shook his fur with a look of disgust. While the toxin didn't cause him any real harm, it was certainly unpleasant.
However, it might be immune to the effects of salamander toxin, while the human, Little Purple, might not be.

"Little Purple? What are you going to do?"

Under the ravages of the neurotoxin, only destruction remained in Komurasaki's mind. In order to make her destructive power even stronger, Komurasaki began to recklessly draw upon the power of the Four-Tails, leaving Goku, who was busy cleaning his dwelling, completely dumbfounded.
"destroy!"

Moreover, if Xiao Zi wanted it, Sun Wukong couldn't refuse her.
If it forcibly withdrew its power, Komurasaki would only become a victim of Hanzo's blade if she withdrew from her transformation. Left with no other choice, the Four-Tails could only satisfy its demands, continuously channeling the power of the Tailed Beast into it.
Soon, Komurasaki's body was enveloped by the almost tangible power of the tailed beast. As this power solidified, Hanzo's sense of crisis surged.
"not good!"

Although he didn't know what would happen next, a strange sixth sense told him that he had to stop Xiao Zi.

"Secret Technique: Poison Dragon!"

Hanzo exerted all his strength, frantically squeezing out the poison sac in his abdomen. A gigantic purple venomous dragon materialized from behind him, its maw, spitting out corrosive liquid, lunging at the ever-growing figure of Little Purple.
"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and a purple mushroom cloud rose silently into the sky above Amegakure. The pungent smell that filled the air was so strong that even the Amegakure ninjas engaged in fierce battle at the village entrance could smell it.
"This taste... it's Lord Hanzo!"

The Grand Elder, who was in charge of commanding the operation, took a deep breath. The familiar smell made his eyes light up. This was the smell!
"Everyone, give it your all! Don't let Lord Hanzo down!"

"Charge!"

Upon hearing this, the Rain Ninja were invigorated and launched a new wave of attacks against the Iwa Ninja, who were already showing signs of retreating.

Why haven't Lord Zi and Lord Han returned yet?

Time ticked by, and the Iwa ninja, not seeing the two return, felt a growing gloom. Recalling Han's parting words, the highest-ranking Iwa ninja, after some deliberation, made a decisive decision.

"retreat!"

"Report! The Iwa ninja have retreated!"

Soon, news of the Iwa ninja's escape reached the Grand Elder.
"Send three squadrons to pursue them, the rest of you assemble and head back to the village to rescue the enemy!" Now is not the time to celebrate. The enemy situation in the village is still unclear. The elder quickly made a decision, splitting the forces into two groups. The assembled main force swiftly marched towards the Rain Ninja headquarters.
"Yes!"

"Roar!"

However, just as they were preparing to return to the village to support Hanzo, full of fighting spirit, a roar that struck straight to the soul rang in everyone's ears.

The Rain Ninja army, facing the village, stopped in unison, their faces growing paler as they watched a figure gradually rise higher from the village's center.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Roar!"

It was a giant gorilla assembled from crudely designed mechanical parts. As it waved its thick arms, orange fire rained down from the sky of the Rain Kingdom, a sky that never seemed to drip water.

Fire rained down, and the entire village was instantly engulfed in flames.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Hanzo landed atop a tall building nearby, staring at the colossal steel beast before him, its body emitting a roar of hydraulic pressure and steam. His eyes, hidden beneath the visor, widened in disbelief, and a profound sense of powerlessness welled up within him.

On the other side, Madara Uchiha kicked the unconscious White Horse Knight at his feet, slung the halberd back over his shoulder, and looked at the rampaging mechanical behemoth with a strange expression.
"Has the Beast Fist technique been combined?"

He recognized this form; after all, there weren't many abilities that could rival Susanoo.

Years ago, the Silver Brothers used this power to fight against his Beast, and their overall strength ranked them among the best.

"Rain Village is probably going to suffer a lot this time~"

Shaking his head with a sigh, Madara Uchiha had no intention of interfering. He wasn't the ninja world policeman who had to meddle in everything. The reason he had disciplined Han earlier was because the other man had damaged his carefully crafted signboard.

Of course, if such an event were to occur in the Land of Fire, that would be a different story.

Just then, a dark figure emerged from the shadows.

"Spots? Did you do that?"

Hearing the commotion, Black Zetsu and his two companions rushed over. They first glanced at the half-dead man on the ground, then looked up at the Iron Gorilla pounding his chest and roaring, their faces filled with a strange expression.

"Neither I nor you are involved."

Madara Uchiha gently shook his head; the Four-Tails' transformation had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Compared to the current chaotic situation, he is more concerned about the students he values.
"Where's Xiao Nan?"

"Falling asleep. It's so nice to be a child; you can fall asleep on time."

Unlike him, who had to sneak out in the dark to find someone who wasn't coming home at night.

"Let's go."

With the perpetrator punished and the spectacle more or less over, Madara Uchiha had no reason to continue his amusement.
"Does that guy really not need to be dealt with?"

Watching Madara Uchiha turn and leave, Black Zetsu's face twitched slightly. He raised his hand and pointed at the Steel Ape that was yelling and disturbing the peace.
"Don't worry, it will disappear naturally when the time comes."

Madara Uchiha explained without turning his head, "As the runner-up of the first Tailed Beast Pokémon War, no one understands the Tailed Beasts better than him."
The mechanical tailed beast in its Beast Fist fusion state can only last for ten minutes at most. Ten minutes is all it takes. Can the mighty Amegakure really not withstand that?

You know what, it really couldn't hold up.

"Poison Dragon!"

The enormous venomous dragon was like a caterpillar compared to the mechanical four-tailed dragon. It crashed into the opponent's sturdy mechanical armor without even producing a spark; at best, it was just a scribble.
"hateful!"

Panting heavily, Hanzo landed in a relatively safe area. Watching the colossal beast indiscriminately destroying the village buildings, his eyes were filled with resentment. He had never encountered such a gigantic enemy before, and his rich combat experience was utterly useless.
Inside the mechanical Four-Tails, driven mad by the poison, Komurasaki was wildly manipulating the control stick in front of her. A helpless Goku could only comply, as Komurasaki rampaged through Amegakure like a madman.
Fortunately, in the combined state of Beast Fist, the two of them, one human and one beast, were of one mind and body. The toxins in Xiao Zi's body were being broken down at a visible speed. In about ten minutes, she would be able to get rid of the poisoning and regain her senses.

"Lord Hanzo!"

Suddenly, a delicate shout rang out behind Hanzo. He turned around and looked at Hydrangea, whose face was covered in sweat, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Why are you here? Get out of here right now!"

Compared to this steel behemoth, a Chunin-level hydrangea is no different from an ant; even the slightest aftershock would crush her into mincemeat.
"I'm here to deliver this!"

Hydrangea tossed a small box over, her eyes never leaving the rampaging mechanical behemoth. Her beautiful, watery eyes held no fear, only the fervor unique to researchers.

"If only we could have a sample."

Given time, Hydrangea believes she can also handcraft a similar steel behemoth.

"This is... thank you."

Opening the box and seeing a row of crystal-clear Tailed Beast Potions, Hanzo nodded slightly. Although they might not be of much help, something was better than nothing.
At the same time, the Grand Elder arrived with the Rain Ninja army.
"Lord Hanzo?"

Looking at the black knight standing with the hydrangea, the elder, smelling the familiar scent of poison on him, spoke with a face full of surprise and doubt.

"Thanks a lot."

During his brief conversation with Hydrangea, Hanzo had already learned that it was the Grand Elder leading the army to defend against the Iwa ninja at the village entrance.

"You've succeeded?"

“That’s right, we Amegakure are now qualified to sit at the table.”

With this self-developed Knight System, Amegakure gained the courage to engage in dialogue with major powers.
"Then what about this monster?"

"It's the Four-Tailed Knight."

After briefly explaining the situation to the Elder and the others, a faint sense of despair quietly rose among them. While Hanzo's transformation was certainly a cause for celebration, what should they do when facing an enemy of catastrophic power?
"Cheer up, everyone! Don't forget what we have behind us!"

Sensing the despair of the crowd, Hanzo clenched his fists and shouted loudly,
"what?"

There's nothing there?

The bewildered Rain Ninja looked behind them at the empty space, exchanging bewildered glances.
Hanzo looked up at the mechanical Four-Tails destroying the building, and a light of protection suddenly shone in his previously dim eyes.
"Behind us, there are the lights of thousands of homes in Amegakure."

Reaching down to touch the throbbing poison sac at his waist, he abruptly pulled out five vials of medicine and, to the astonishment of Hydrangea who couldn't stop him, forcefully plunged them into his body. Feeling the scorching energy surge into him, Hanzo whispered softly,

"Old friend, I'm begging you one last time." (End of Chapter)
