Chapter 127 Xia Mu and His Three Companions Battle Hanzo (First and Second Updates)

After leaving Konoha's main camp, Natsuki and the others quickly arrived at the designated location and met up with Minato Namikaze and the others.

To avoid being discovered by the ninjas of Amegakure, Orochimaru had already found a suitable location and set up a barrier during the day.

"You all need to be careful."

Xia Mu cautioned, "Be careful in everything."

"You should be more careful about safety."

Nawaki shook his head and said, "We're only dealing with the ninjas of Amegakure, but you're going to be facing Hanzo."

Minato Namikaze looked at Natsuki without saying a word, but felt a pang of envy in his heart.

It is clear that Natsuki's strength has been recognized by Orochimaru or Konoha Village.

In the battle with Hanzo, he accompanied only one person.

There are also ninjas who are no weaker than Natsuki, such as Hatake Sakumo.

However, he was responsible for commanding the battle against the main force of Amegakure, and his swordsmanship was at a disadvantage against Hanzo, who was skilled in water-style techniques and used poison.

Comparatively speaking, Xia Mu is more suitable than him.

Minato Namikaze thought that if he could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could play a greater role.

Although he was a genius, he is now no different from other ninjas.

Meanwhile, Xia Mu, who graduated at the same time, was already different, and could be described as having great influence in this war.

Of course, given his personality, he would only feel admiration, not jealousy.

"Never underestimate any ninja."

Xia Mu said in a deep voice, "I will not let my guard down, and neither should you."

Nawaki, Minato Namikaze, Kosuke Maruboshi, and the others all nodded.

"Then I'm off. See you after we win."

A smile appeared on Xia Mu's face.

Just then, Yakushi Nonou reached out and grasped his hand.

Xia Mu subconsciously looked at her.

Her face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful Hanzo is, he's still just one person."

Xia Mu comforted her, saying, "I have the help of the three teachers on my side."

"I'll wait for you to come back."

"I am Yakushi Nono," she said gently.

Xia Mu pinched her cheek and turned to leave.

He took advantage of the darkness and successfully arrived at a small hill not far from the Konoha headquarters.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are already in position.

This location offers a view of Konoha Village's headquarters, allowing for the immediate arrest of Hanzo.

"How are Sakumo and the others doing?"

Orochimaru asked.

"They have all arrived at their designated locations."

Natsuki replied, "We didn't encounter any Amegakure ninjas along the way."

"That's normal."

Tsunade chuckled and said, "The ninjas of Amegakure are all gathered at their headquarters now."

"Now we just need to wait for Hanzo's next move."

Orochimaru said calmly.

The night passed quickly, and a new day began.

Today is still a day of torrential rain.

Although it was daylight, it wasn't very bright; it was still hazy and gray.

"Will Hanzo wait until nightfall to launch the attack?"

After breakfast, Xia Mu asked casually.

"Most people would wait until evening."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "But he's Hanzo, I bet he won't be able to sit still during the day."

"The weather in the Land of Rain is about the same during the day and at night."

Orochimaru chimed in, "He'll most likely act during the day."

"What's wrong?"

Tsunade raised her hand and nudged him, asking, "Are you nervous?"

"no."

Natsuki truthfully replied, "I want to finish as soon as possible and return to Konoha Village."

"I wasn't as calm as you at your age."

Jiraiya sighed upon hearing this.

"After all, Natsuki is stronger than you at the same age."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said.

"You can't say that. Age doesn't determine strength. I couldn't beat you when I was young, but I can surpass you when I grow up."

Jiraiya immediately retorted angrily, "Especially once I learn Sage Mode, I'll beat you until you beg for mercy!"

"Xia Mu hasn't been to Ryuchi Cave yet, maybe he also has the talent to cultivate Sage Mode."

Orochimaru said slowly and deliberately.

"It's not that easy!"

Jiraiya said that, but he wasn't sure in his heart.

Xia Mu's current performance is too amazing, and his talent for cultivating the Immortal Mode is not surprising to him.

At that moment, both of them fell silent.

They looked up and gazed into the distance.

Xia Mu didn't need them to remind him; he had already detected the approaching Hanzo using his clairvoyance and electromagnetic wave sensing.

He was incredibly fast, arriving at the entrance to Konoha Village's headquarters in an instant.

Hanzo stopped and took off his gas mask.

This means that even his breathing can poison nearby targets.

Hanzo was a human-shaped salamander because he had a salamander's venom sac implanted in him when he was young.

boom!

The ground suddenly cracked open at the center of Konoha Village's headquarters.

A giant salamander bursts out of the ground.

It was Hanzo's summoned beast, Sanshoku-oi-no-Kage.

In addition to releasing poisonous gas, it can also move freely underground and has the ability to burrow.

Its appearance completely awakened the Konoha Village headquarters.

Sanshoyu Ibuki did not hesitate at all.

It leaped up and unleashed a massive amount of mist at the entire Konoha Village headquarters.

In an instant, the poisonous gas covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

"It will take some time for the salamander to gather that much poison gas again."

Orochimaru spoke.

In the original work, Chiyo figured out that the time it took for the poison gas to accumulate in the salamander was five minutes.

Perhaps having learned from this lesson, Hanzo never allowed Ibuki, the Salamander, to use the poison gas a second time during battles with Konoha.

Of course, this is also related to his combat strategy, which mainly relies on surprise attacks and running away if he can't win a fight.

He served as a firefighter, appearing in various parts of the battlefield.

The ninjas of Konoha Village, upon seeing him appear, would not linger in battle.

Therefore, Orochimaru, unlike Chiyo, could not pinpoint the exact time when Ibuki would spray the poison mist again.

However, it's not a big deal.

They already have the antidote for the curse anyway.

The toxic fog spread.

Upon seeing this, Hanzo fired a signal flare.

Seeing this, the ninjas from Amegakure in the distance all headed towards the Konoha headquarters.

But before they had gone more than a hundred meters, they saw figures descend and block their way.

The one leading the group was none other than Hatake Sakumo.

"What's going on?"

"Where did these Konoha ninjas come from?"

"We're surrounded! This is a trap!"

The ninja from Amegakure looked around and realized that they were all ninja from Konoha, and immediately understood.

The moment the riot broke out, Hatake Sakumo drew his short sword and rushed forward.

His dagger has been repaired.

He transformed into a blade of light and plunged into the enemy ranks.

As he moved, the other Konoha ninjas erupted like a volcano, unleashing their full power and launching a fierce attack.

At this moment, Hanzo realized the problem.

First, the Konoha Village headquarters is too quiet.

Although the poison of the Salamander Ibuki is potent, it is impossible for it to kill all the Konoha ninjas in an instant.

The absence of screams and any other sound was highly unusual.

Secondly, the ninjas from Amegakure did not arrive.

He could also faintly hear the sounds of fighting.

When Hanzo turned around, he saw the chaotic ninjutsu in the distance.

He immediately realized that the ninjas of Amegakure had been ambushed.

Hanzo headed straight for the ninjas of Amegakure without hesitation.

But the next second, four people blocked his way.

Hanzo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the four people in front of him, and his face immediately darkened, confirming his guess.

This was indeed a trap set for him.

"Hanzo, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"

Jiraiya laughed loudly and asked, "Are you afraid of us juniors?"

"You think you can keep me here?"

Hanzo scoffed and said, "A fool's dream!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

After Tsunade finished speaking, she used the Shave technique.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Hanzo, and her fist swung out with terrifying power.

"The speed is acceptable."

Hanzo calmly commented, then turned into a puddle of water, dodging Tsunade's punch.

This is Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique.

A very special kind of teleportation technique that allows the user to turn into a puddle of water to evade attacks.

Sword Technique: Iai Slash!

Hanzo reappeared, wielding a highly poisonous scythe, and slashed at Tsunade.

Its speed was so fast that most Jonin wouldn't be able to react in time.

At the critical moment, Tsunade raised her arms.

Iron block!

With a clang.

Hanzo's scythe struck Tsunade's arms.

A look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Because he didn't remember Tsunade having this ability or ninjutsu before.

"Tsunade, move aside."

Jiraiya formed hand seals and refined his chakra into oil.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky.

The nearby rainwater evaporated instantly without a trace.

Five enormous fire dragons, under Jiraiya's control, crashed into Hanzo.

Five fire dragons, arranged in a specific order, sealed off Hanzo's surroundings.

When Tsunade heard Jiraiya's words, she used Shave to disappear on the spot.

If it were an ordinary Jonin, he would have been able to withstand the Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, but Hanzo was different.

He is extremely skilled in Water Release techniques, and in the current ninja world, he is undoubtedly the best in Water Release.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

Hanzo formed hand seals and spat out a water ball.

The water sphere landed and rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive waterfall that met the five fire dragons.

Just then, Hanzo heard a sound coming from behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a dense swarm of venomous snakes rushing towards him.

It was Orochimaru's Hidden Snake Hand.

Hanzo was not afraid at all.

He turned around, gripped the flying scythe, and unleashed a massive flash of light.

Wherever it went, venomous snakes were cut in half.

Ittō-ryū (One-Sword Style), Iaijutsu (Quick Attack), and Shishi-sō (Lion's Lament)!

Xia Mu caught the moment he swung his knife and vanished from the spot.

Hanzo suddenly frowned.

Fortunately, he was using a throwing sickle.

On one side is a sickle, and on the other side is a handle connected by a chain.

He gripped the hilt of the knife and swung it sharply.

The chains straightened, actually blocking Xia Mu's Kurosawa.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Tsunade suddenly appeared in front of them and kicked out.

Hanzo had no choice but to raise his leg to block.

A tremendous force struck, causing him to uncontrollably retreat.

"Why weren't you poisoned?"

Hanzo steadied himself, then suddenly realized something and was startled.

He was not wearing a gas mask at the time.

Xia Mu and the other three were standing very close to him; logically, they should have been poisoned long ago.

"Do you really think we'd come to you unprepared?"

Jiraiya breathed out flames again.

This time it wasn't five fire dragons, but a fireball over five meters tall.

The temperature was so high that the ground turned black.

At the same time, Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out a Kusanagi sword.

The Kusanagi sword flew out like a kunai.

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Hanzo's heart sank, but he believed that his poison could not be countered.

It's most likely that Tsunade researched some special antidote that could temporarily neutralize his poison.

Water Release: Cutting Rain!

A stream of water shot out, actually slicing through Jiraiya's giant fireball.

Sword Technique: Chain Scythe Two-Stage Strike!

Hanzo didn't stop, using his chains to entangle the flying grass sword while simultaneously freeing his right hand.

The scythe flew out and slashed towards Orochimaru.

Tsunade accelerated and once again blocked the scythe with the iron block.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow as he looked at it.

He was afraid the iron block wouldn't be able to stop it.

After all, this thing is known as the strongest illusion.

If you think you can stop it, but you can't, then you'll die.

Water Breathing - Seventh Form - Shizuku Ripple Strike!

With a burst of speed, surrounded by flowing water, Xia Mu thrust his sword at Hanzo.

As soon as Hanzo moved, he swung the chain, sending the grass sword flying towards him.

The technique of unleashing a lion's mane!

Jiraiya formed hand seals again.

His hair quickly transformed, coiling around Hanzo like a lion's head.

Orochimaru seized the opportunity and formed hand seals.

Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!

The wind was like a knife, slicing towards Hanzo's neck.

As long as Hanzo is entangled in the Lion's Mane Technique, he will have no way to dodge the Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique.

At that moment, his flying scythe was caught by Tsunade and could not fly back.

Xia Mu deflected the grass sword with a single slash and quickly used Water Breathing: Fourth Form: Strike Tide.

He unleashed a powerful slash, as if he were about to shatter Hanzo in the next second.

At the critical moment of life and death, the ground suddenly trembled.

Sansho-ibu burst from the ground, lifted Hanzo up, and leaped into the air.

Hanzo had anticipated this and released a large amount of chakra in an instant.

The entire sky darkened, and all the rain was drawn to it, instantly transforming it into a torrent of water, as if the ocean were pouring down.

Xia Mu and his companions had no choice but to abandon their attack and focus on dealing with the terrifying waves.

Moonwalk!

Natsuki and Tsunade had the simplest solution.

The two of them stepped on the air, leaped up, and headed towards Hanzo.

"Flying ninjutsu?"

Hanzo's pupils dilated involuntarily.

With his flying ninjutsu, even if Natsuki and Tsunade couldn't defeat him, they could easily escape.

Especially since the poison hasn't taken effect yet.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru weren't as dashing as Natsuki and Tsunade.

Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!

Jiraiya spat out a giant fireball, forcibly creating a vacuum in the ocean waves.

Orochimaru then slammed his hands on the ground, summoning a giant water snake.

He jumped onto the water snake's head and quickly dodged through the waves.

At this point, their battle shifted from land warfare to naval warfare.

Water Release: Water Chaos!

Hanzo vomited a large amount of water.

After slowing down Natsuki and Tsunade, the Salamander Ibuki carried him to the ground.

To be more precise, it landed on the water's surface.

The change of environment was clearly intentional on Hanzo's part.

Furthermore, the continuous rain in the Land of Rain further enhanced his Water Release abilities.

Painful feet!

Tsunade fell, kicking Hanzo.

No matter how the environment changes, the battle will not stop.

Sword Technique: Chain Scythe Two-Stage Strike!

Hanzo swung his sword left and right, and the hilt of his sword, connected to a chain, flew out, intending to entangle Tsunade's feet.

With a clang!

Xia Mu threw a Kurosawa sword, which hit the hilt precisely.

Hanzo snorted coldly, but then unleashed a large number of explosive tags.

"Tsunade-sensei, retreat!"

Seeing this, Xia Mu quickly called out.

This is Hanzo's Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation.

In the original work, Hanzo used Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation to stick to Tsunade's feet, but fortunately Jiraiya blocked it.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately used the Shave technique.

After she disappeared, Hanzo's expression remained unchanged, and the explosive tag flew towards Natsuki.

"burst!"

Hanzo detonated the explosives without hesitation.

"Natsuki!"

Tsunade saw this scene as soon as she landed and immediately exclaimed in alarm.

Xia Mu instantly produced the Magic Weather Wand.

Creamy bubbles!

A cloud appeared and expanded into a thick wall.

Armament Haki!

The Violet Umbrella!

Puppet X Formation!

Four layers of defense were quickly deployed.

Xia Mu gripped the Thor's Sword with his left hand.

boom!

The flames engulfed Xia Mu's four layers of defense.

Although the explosive tags were very powerful, they did not destroy his quadruple defenses.

Seeing this, Hanzo grabbed his throwing scythe and threw it.

Just then, he suddenly sensed danger.

Lightning emanated from Xia Mu's left hand.

Railgun!

Thor's sword flew out at a terrifying speed.

The air suddenly jolted, and rings of lightning exploded outwards.

Hanzo immediately formed a hand seal with one hand.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

A wall of water appeared in front of him.

Thor's sword immediately crashed into the wall of water.

The water wall broke.

Xia Mu smiled slightly and used the Fantasy Collapse technique.

Thor's sword suddenly exploded.

Hanzo didn't even have time to react before he was swept up in the explosion.

He groaned, and although he instinctively stepped back, he was still injured.

His arms, especially when he raised them to block, were covered in blood.

"Well done!"

Jiraiya shouted, then spat out five more fire dragons, sealing off Hanzo's surroundings.

Orochimaru also formed hand seals and unleashed a gust of wind as sharp as a blade.

In an instant, Hanzo was once again in danger.

But he still didn't give up, enduring the pain as he formed hand seals.

He drew the nearby water, transforming it into towering waves that extinguished the five fire dragons.

The gale sliced ​​through the giant waves, but was blocked by Hanzo's flying scythe.

shave!

Tsunade appeared behind Hanzo.

She threw a punch.

Hanzo reacted quickly, throwing a punch to meet the attack.

His fist was covered with a layer of water-style chakra.

boom!

Hanzo's strength was not as great as Tsunade's, but thanks to the protection of his Water Release chakra, he managed to block the punch.

Just then, Tsunade changed her fist into fingers.

Finger gun!

Her index finger pierced through the water-style chakra and also through Hanzo's fist.

Hanzo's face turned deathly pale.

Blood splattered from the fist.

Body Flicker Technique!

Without hesitation, he distanced himself from Tsunade.

"Damn it!"

Hanzo looked down and saw a small hole on the back of his hand.

Fresh blood was flowing out continuously.

"Hanzo, it seems you, Takaten, are going to die here!"

Lu Lai also laughed and said.
