Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 123 Xingxiaxiu VS Hanzo! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

The salamander hid underground, and Hanzo disappeared using the technique of instant body movement.

"As expected of someone known as a demigod, this water teleportation technique is something I've never seen faster than this, except for the techniques of time and space."

Xingxia Xiu stood there without moving, but the double magatama Sharingan under his beautiful pupils were moving.

He knew that Hanzo was good at water teleportation, and the rainy weather in the Rain Country made this ninjutsu even more powerful.

Sudden.

Xingxiaxiu draws his sword.

clang!
Mars is everywhere.

Hanzo appeared from the side, and as the ninja sword and sickle collided, Hanzo's chain also hit Xingxia Xiu.

But there was a roaring sound under Xingxia Xiu's feet. He lowered his body and rushed out, avoiding Hanzo's moves and counterattacked Hanzo.

Swish!
Hanzo disappeared, and Xingxia Xiu's ninja sword only cut through the rain curtain.

clang!
boom!
Xingxia Xiu and Hanzo sometimes disappeared and sometimes flashed. The blades clashed, the metal clashed, and the flying sparks and rain could not extinguish them.

Hanzo's water teleportation comes and goes silently, while Xingxia Xiu's teleportation is extremely violent, and each time it is accompanied by a roar.

Tsunade and others who were watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but frown. They could all see that whether it was the instant body movement technique or swordsmanship, Hoshita Hide was inferior to Hanzo. Each confrontation was extremely thrilling, and Hoshita Hide was almost killed by Hanzo with one sword several times.

Fortunately, Tsunade and others all knew that Hoshita Hide's most powerful skill was not his swordsmanship or instant body movement technique, but his wood escape technique and wind escape technique.

Sudden.

Hoshita Hide, who was fighting with Hanzo, launched a counterattack, swinging his sword and shooting out wind blades.

Hanzo flashed and swung his sword, but he didn't have time to completely avoid the wind blade that cut the flesh on his arm.

It almost splashed, and then with a splash, Hanzo's body turned into a stream of water and fell down, but then it moved suddenly and wrapped around Xingxiaxiu's legs like a poisonous snake.

Xing Xiaxiu didn't dodge and stomped his foot. With a loud bang, the ground sank and exploded, and water splashed everywhere.

At the same time, Hanzo appeared behind Xingxia Xiu.

puff!
Blood splattered and Xingxia Xiu fell down, but immediately turned into vines and wrapped around Hanzo.

Hanzo swung his sword to split Fujiki in half, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Hoshita Hide attacking from the side.

Sudden.

The salamander jumped out from the ground, opened its huge mouth, and tried to swallow Xingxiaxiu.

But Xingxia Xiu suddenly raised his body and avoided the attack of the salamander.

When the salamander failed to hit the target, it immediately dived down and burrowed into the ground again.

And then Hanzo's attack came.

It was a huge torrent of water, with turbulent waves, taller than Xingxiaxiu's figure, flooding and crashing down from above.

Instead of retreating, Xing Xia Xiu took a step and sped through the air. Then he swung his sword, and a huge wind blade spewed out, cutting the waves below. The air flow under Xing Xia Xiu's feet exploded, and his speed increased dramatically, and he passed through the cut gap.

Eyes facing each other.

Hanzo came rushing over on the waves.

clang!
The two men clashed with swordsmanship again.

On the water surface, after several collisions, Xing Xia Xiu was kicked away and fell on the water surface with a bang.

In the sword fight, Xing Xiaxiu was completely defeated.

At this time, the Salamander reappeared.

It jumped out from the water and swallowed Xing Xiaxiu in one gulp.

But just as the Salamander was about to escape into the ground again, its huge body broke into pieces. Countless wind blades shot out from its body, cutting the poisonous spirit beast into dozens of pieces.

Xingxiaxiu's figure was enveloped by countless wind blades and air currents, rising into the sky and forming a giant blue-eyed dragon, then swooping down and heading straight for Hanzo.

Blade storm!

At this moment, Konoha and Rain Ninja all opened their eyes wide.

The sharp whistling sound, the terrifying momentum, and the huge chakra that could be felt from a distance shocked both sides of the battle.

"As expected of Xiujun, another S-rank wind-style ninjutsu!"

Orochimaru sighed secretly with his eyes shining brightly.

Tsunade had a smile in her eyes.

Rumble!
A giant blue-eyed dragon descended from the sky, the earth shook, and a storm swept in all directions.

After the storm, Tsunade and the others looked over and saw Hanzo looking a little disheveled at the edge of the huge pit.

Not only were his clothes torn, but there were also bloodstains on his arms and body, and the breathing mask he was wearing had broken into two and fell to the ground.

Looking at Xingxia Xiu who walked out of the pit, Hanzo said: "You are indeed very extraordinary. Even if you don't rely on the wood escape power inherited from Senju Hashirama, you are still commendable."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency's instant body movement technique is also the fastest I have ever seen."

"And my swordsmanship is beyond compare."

He dodged that attack just now. It was really fast.

Hanzo stared at Xingxia Xiu: "From now on, I will give you the highest respect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Xingxiaxiu again.

While charging, he opened his mouth and spit out purple poisonous gas.

Not only can the salamander spray poison gas, but Hanzo can too.

He had been implanted with a salamander poison sac since he was a child, and even his breath carried toxins, so he wore a breathing mask to avoid poisoning those around him.

How could such a being not use poison?

Xingxia Xiu was overwhelmed by the poisonous gas, and before he could retreat, Hanzo came close to him.

The iron chain wrapped around Xingxia Xiu's ninja sword, and the sickle swung down, chopping Xingxia Xiu's shoulder.

The blade cut through the robe, but was stopped by the hardened skin.

Hanzo's expression changed again, and he raised his foot to kick Xing Xiaxiu away.

But Xingxia Xiu was faster. He punched out with his left hand, and before Hanzo's kick could explode with force, the punch hit the sole of his foot. With a cracking sound, Hanzo immediately flew backwards, and the chain that locked Xingxia Xiu's ninja sword broke.

However, the wind chakra appeared on Xingxia Xiu's ninja sword, and its sharpness increased dramatically. Coupled with the terrifying force, it forcibly cut the chain.

bang bang bang~
Hanzo fell to the ground and rolled over for more than ten times before he stabilized himself and jumped up, but he could only rely on the sickle to support his body.

Xingxia showed off his terrifying strength and broke one of his legs with one punch.

This was something Hanzo had not expected.

The information sold by Iwagakure is too outdated.

Not only does it lack the wind-style ninjutsu just now, it also lacks the terrifying power.

And that body hardening.

But what Hanzo didn't know was that it wasn't that Iwagakure didn't try hard, but that apart from the people of Konoha, all the enemies who fought against Hoshita Hide, except for a few people like Ohnoki, were dead.

What's more, Iwagakure also hid the information about time and space teleportation.

Looking at Xingxia Xiu rushing towards him, Hanzo's expression changed again.

Xingxia Xiu was not affected by the poison of the salamander. He just noticed that Xingxia Xiu was breathing in the poisonous gas.

Accidents, too many accidents!

Originally, Hanzo was most afraid of Wood Release, but he never expected... Swish!
Hanzo used the technique of instant body movement on one foot and retreated.

The next moment, Xing Xiaxiu, who was a step slower, rushed over.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Hanzo, who was retreating, raised one hand.

The ground beneath Xing Xiaxiu's feet began to change, and detonating talismans quickly climbed up his legs.

Detonate the fire array!

This was set up when Hanzo was rolling on the ground in a panic.

"As expected of Hanzo..."

Looking down at the flames burning at his feet, Xingxiaxiu raised one hand.

Rumble!
The smoke and flames from the explosion enveloped Xingxiaxiu.

however.

When the smoke cleared, only a few pieces of burning rotten wood remained at the explosion site.

"how is this possible?"

Hanzo was a little bit unbelievable.

Just now he was absolutely sure that it was Xing Xia Xiu's real body, not some clone.

"As expected of a demigod."

Laughter came from the air.

Hanzo looked up and saw Xingxia Xiu standing in the air.

At this time, Tsunade and others, as well as the many Rain Ninjas on the opposite side, also discovered Xing Xiaxiu in the sky.

They were also very shocked. How did Xing Xiaxiu escape just now?

Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked at each other and thought of the teleportation ability they had seen before.

But it seems not.

……

In the air, Xingxiaxiu slowly descended, but her feet did not touch the ground.

Hanzo's explosive fire array is still very powerful, and he can't see through the disguise.

Looking at the cautious Xingxia Xiu, Hanzo looked solemn.

He had to admit that he underestimated the young man in front of him at the beginning.

But now, with one leg missing, he is no match for his opponent because he hasn't even used Wood Release yet.

Without the Salamander, he was already having trouble facing Wood Release, and now that he was missing a leg, the speed of his Instant Body Technique was greatly reduced.

retreat!

Fight again after your injury heals!

Hanzo felt like giving up.

He was already very sure that Xingxia Xiu had deliberately let the salamander swallow him in order to get rid of his summoned beast and deprive him of a way of retreat.

Xingxia Xiu also sensed Hanzo's retreat and said with a smile: "Hanzo, to be honest, if you didn't start this war today, I would have directly attacked the Rain Village."

"I've always had an idea, which is to plant trees in other ninja villages."

Hanzo's pupils shrank: "Looks like today we have to decide life or death."

Go ahead, he gestured.

The Rain Ninja who was watching the battle on the other side suddenly woke up.

"Hanzo-sama's orders, act immediately!"

"kill!"

Hanzo's prestige is very high. Even if he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Hoshita Hide, many Rain Ninjas did not hesitate to act at his command.

And it was divided into two, most of the force rushed towards Tsunade and others, while the other force rushed towards Xingxia Xiu.

"They must be stopped!"

Tsunade yelled.

Konoha also split into two to intercept the Rain Ninja.

Xingxia Xiu looked at the rushing Rain Ninja and couldn't help but sigh: "The old senior really has no martial ethics..."

"Since that's the case, let's decide who's superior and who's inferior, and decide life and death."

As soon as the thought came to him, he activated the ability of [Fight to the Death] in the status bar and targeted Hanzo.

The inexplicable power of rules descended upon Hanzo. He originally wanted to retreat and reunite with his subordinates, but at this moment his thoughts changed: "I must stop this guy first. My current speed will easily make him catch up."

So, Hanzo put away his sword and formed seals with his hands.

Water escape, water blast and waves!
Hanzo opened his mouth and spit out water, which poured down like a big river and rushed towards Xingxia Xiu.

He is not only good at swordsmanship!
Looking at the huge oncoming water flow, Xing Xiaxiu clasped his hands together.

Wood escape - the birth of the tree world!

The ground cracked, and thick vines rose from the ground, then spread rapidly, covering the sky and the earth. The momentum was even greater than Hanzo's torrent, like a green tide.

Rumble!
The flood and the trees collided with each other. The trees rose from the ground but continued to grow, while the surging water was blocked and diverted layer by layer, and its power quickly dissipated.

Hanzo jumped up on one foot and leaped backward, quickly forming seals with his hands.

And then the green tide was already in front of him, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Boom!

While in the air, Hanzo opened his mouth and spit out flames, which collided with the sweeping green tide and sent wood chips flying everywhere.

As his figure landed on the ground, Hanzo completed his seal once again. The water around him gathered together, forming a huge water dragon, which then rushed forward. Wherever it passed, all the vines and trees fell down.

Then Hanzo raised his sword again and cut off the vines that were sweeping towards him.

His figure moved at high speed on the water surface and shuttled through the tree world.

Even though he was limping in one leg, Hanzo was still extremely ferocious. With his instantaneous movement and sharp swordsmanship, he treated the tree world as nothing for a moment, and quickly shuttled through it, killing Xingxia Xiu.

"The demigod truly lives up to his reputation."

Xing Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, then closed and opened his eyes, and the sage mode was activated.

Immortal Technique - Wood Release - Wood Dragon Technique!

A thick wooden dragon emerged and opened its mouth to bite Hanzo who was rushing towards it.

Hanzo threw away his sword, formed seals with his hands, and the water dragon reappeared.

boom!
The wooden dragon rushed forward and the water dragon collapsed.

Then the dragon head swung and Hanzo flew out.
Bang!
Hanzo crashed into the tree trunk, his body fell, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Then, before he could struggle to get up, vines wrapped around him.

Demigod - Hanzo of the Salamander, captured successfully!

　Sorry, it's a little late. I was planning on writing 2,000-word chapters to make up for the time I took off, but since the plot is coherent, I decided to finish it in one go.
