Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 128 Hanzo Dies, Unlocking Unlimited Blade Works (Third and Fourth Updates)

When Hanzo heard Jiraiya's arrogant words, he unusually did not refute them and fell silent.

This is in stark contrast to his previous confident rebuttals.

Without a doubt, he has lost confidence.

The poison he was so proud of had no effect for a long time.

He was injured by Natsuki and Tsunade's attacks, especially on his hands.

Although he is very powerful, he still needs to form hand seals.

But now it's not so easy to run away.

In an instant, Hanzo changed his strategy.

A massive amount of chakra surged forth as if it were free, eventually turning entirely into water.

Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!

Various kinds of water flowed outwards and scattered.

"Be careful!"

Tsunade recognized it instantly, "This is Water Release: Great Explosive Water Wave, which can form a water prison as large as the sea."

As soon as she finished speaking, the waves of water enveloped them.

Strange power!

Tsunade unleashed a punch.

The waves seemed to spread out in all directions.

"Come on up!"

Orochimaru controlled the water snake to swim towards the surface of the water.

Xia Mu and the others immediately jumped up.

Water Release: Great Explosive Water Wave is very powerful, but not powerful enough.

Its main purpose is to create a sea.

In the sea, water-style ninjas will receive the greatest boost.

When the four reached the water's surface, Hanzo and Sanshoyo Ibuki had both vanished without a trace.

"Watch out for Hanzo's sneak attack."

Orochimaru immediately said, "Let's scatter."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya separated, one on the left and one on the right, creating some distance between them.

If they are grouped together, all four of them will be ambushed together. But if they are separated, if one of them is ambushed, the other three can come to his rescue in time.

Orochimaru subconsciously looked at Natsuki.

Because he didn't leave.

Just as Orochimaru was about to speak, he saw Natsuki leap up.

Electromagnetic wave induction!

Natsuki spotted Hanzo's location in an instant.

He leaped into the air and grasped Kurosawa with both hands.

Breathing of Water, Form of Gathering, Flow of Life!

The ocean is beneficial to Hanzo, and it is also beneficial to him.

The sea suddenly became turbulent.

Under Xia Mu's pull, the seawater rose up and quickly formed a water dragon.

Where the water rose, gaps appeared because the surrounding seawater had not yet had time to fill them.

A figure vaguely emerged from the empty space; it was Hanzo.

Upon realizing his position had been exposed, Hanzo's face immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

It's important to know that when he's underwater, most sensory ninjutsu techniques are unable to pinpoint his location.

What sensory ninjutsu did Natsuki use?

But there's no time to think about this now.

After Xia Mu unleashed several slashes, a massive water dragon tore through the air and descended from the sky.

The moment it comes into contact with the seawater, the seawater rushes to both sides.

The water dragon, carrying a sharp blade of light, slammed towards Hanzo.

With Hanzo exposed, Orochimaru also made a move.

The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!

Orochimaru bent down and spat out a dense mass of venomous snakes.

They dived into the water, like fish, and swam quickly toward Hanzo.

Hanzo gripped the throwing scythe and swung it forcefully.

The blade struck the water dragon, but only cut in about a third of the way.

The remaining water dragons still blasted him down.

When Orochimaru's venomous snake was halfway there, the salamander Ibuki appeared.

It swallowed all the venomous snakes whole.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Seeing this, Jiraiya slammed his hand on the ground.

Spiritual communication!

Suddenly, a giant toad fell from the sky.

In mid-air, it drew the short sword from its back and stabbed it fiercely into the salamander.

Although it is described as a short sword, it is actually an enormous sword.

The sword cleaved through the waves like a mountain peak, striking the salamander fish with an overwhelming force.

The salamander, Ibuki, let out a miserable scream.

A large amount of blood flowed out.

However, the blood that flowed out was still highly poisonous.

The highly toxic substance spread in the water.

Jiraiya quickly dispelled the summoning technique, not daring to let his summoned beast come into contact with the poisonous water.

Although he had the antidote for the curse, he wasn't sure if feeding him a whole bottle would be effective given his enormous size.

Feeding it multiple times would waste time, so just in case, it's better to send it back to Mt. Myoboku.

Orochimaru also dispelled the summoning jutsu, causing the water snake beneath his feet to disappear.

"No!"

Hanzo glanced at it and was immediately heartbroken.

Half of his fame was earned by the salamander Ibuki.

Seeing it so badly injured, he was naturally furious.

He formed hand seals and forcibly mobilized the chakra within his body once again.

The entire sea began to shake.

The water dragon, which was moving forward, suddenly stopped, was flattened, and turned back into water.

And his attacks did not stop.

Under his control, the seawater raged and transformed into four giant dragons, which attacked Xia Mu and his companions.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

The air was thick with the heat of the air.

Jiraiya spat out a giant fire dragon.

The collision of water and fire immediately produced a deafening sound.

Large amounts of fog were generated out of thin air.

Moonwalk!

Tsunade flew straight into the sky, dodging Hanzo's attack.

Wind Release: Gale Palm!

Orochimaru clapped his hands together.

A strong wind enveloped his entire body, making him incredibly fast as he dodged directly on the water's surface.

Xia Mu, on the other hand, was completely different.

He shaved his head and plunged straight into the water.

"No!"

Upon seeing this, Tsunade instinctively called out.

Although they all have antidotes to the curse and don't need to worry about Hanzo's poison, the problem is that Natsuki has now entered the poisonous water.

This means he is constantly being poisoned.

The antidote can cure poison, but can it cure so many poisons?

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, Hanzo immediately became angry.

Sword Technique: Iai Slash!

He grasped the flying scythe and vanished from sight.

Even in the water, his speed was not affected at all.

But what he didn't know was that Xia Mu was a poisonous drug.

The more potent the poison, the more nourishing it is for him.

Unleash the magic!

A surge of chakra enveloped his body and the two Kurosawa swords in his hands.

Enhancement Magic!

Armament Haki!

Two streams of chakra once again enveloped his body and the two Kurosawa swords in his hands.

Solar eclipse!

Xia Mu drew both swords simultaneously.

With a clang!

His twin swords blocked Hanzo's flying scythe.

"How is that possible?"

Hanzo's face showed shock.

What shocked him was not that Xia Mu had blocked his sword technique, Iaijutsu, but that Xia Mu seemed completely unharmed in the poisonous water.

This completely shattered his worldview.

But he didn't have time to think further, because the eclipse was a 27-hit combo.

Hanzo screamed in agony as he discovered that his right arm had been severed.

Large amounts of blood gushed from the severed arm, staining the seawater red.

Faced with an unprecedented crisis, Hanzo endured the pain and unleashed a terrifying will to survive, instantly forming a hand seal with one hand.

Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique!

His body turned into a puddle of water and merged into the sea.

Xia Mu reacted quickly, realizing that swordsmanship was no longer effective, and immediately threw out the two Kurosawa swords in his hand.

Fantasy Collapse!

shave!

He leaped out of the sea before the explosion occurred.

Bang!

An underwater explosion followed.

Countless fragments and splashes of water formed a firework in the sea.

The sea surface rippled violently, with concentric circles of ripples spreading outwards.

"Xia Mu, how are you?"

Tsunade shaved her head and was right in front of Natsuki, saying with displeasure, "What you just did was too dangerous!"

"I'm fine."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "Our antidote for the curse is still very effective."

"Is Hanzo dead?"

Jiraiya surveyed the underwater situation and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid not."

Xia Mu pondered for a moment and said, "He finally used Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique."

"Even with Water Release: Water Flicker Technique, your explosion will be enough to make him very uncomfortable."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and warned, "He might try to escape, so be careful."

"We've fought to this extent; we absolutely won't let him leave unscathed!"

Jiraiya clenched his fist and said.

The explosion has completely disappeared.

Hanzo reappears.

He didn't escape; more accurately, he had no way to escape.

Dodging Xia Mu's attacks was already an all-out effort; how could they possibly have the energy to escape?

Hanzo's reappearance made Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade feel unfamiliar.

Because he, who was always confident and invincible, was now in a very sorry state.

His entire body was covered in blood, which was dripping continuously, making the seawater even redder.

The sight of his empty right arm, in particular, surprised all three of them.

None of them expected that Xia Mu's attack would be so effective, severing Hanzo's right arm.

As a ninja, losing an arm naturally reduces one's fighting ability significantly.

"I've come to see you off on your final journey!"

Jiraiya immediately formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!

A massive fireball, like the sun, hurtled towards Hanzo.

Before it was even touched, the sea surface sank, and a large amount of seawater evaporated.

Hanzo moved, forming a hand seal with one hand. Seawater surged up, transforming into water bullets that slowed the fireball's descent.

Orochimaru and Tsunade exchanged a glance and then disappeared from the spot.

shave!

Tsunade appeared behind Hanzo.

She clenched her fist and smashed it against his head.

Orochimaru appeared to Hanzo's left.

He grabbed the Kusanagi sword and swung it out.

Swallows return!

Xia Mu followed closely and swung his sword.

But Hanzo offered no resistance; with three strikes delivered simultaneously, Hanzo's head fell to the ground.

The three of them were slightly taken aback, all of them sensing some confusion.

Xia Mu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine; the ability of his mind's eye sent a shiver down his spine.

Dangerous!

He immediately pushed Orochimaru and Tsunade away.

boom!

Sparks flew off Hanzo's body, and then all the explosive tags exploded.

The flames tore through the air.

Countless streams of chakra surged into the sky.

Tsunade and Orochimaru's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they were extremely anxious. They instinctively rushed towards the center of the explosion.

The next second, a figure came into their view.

It's Xia Mu.

Tsunade and Orochimaru were both stunned.

Is everything alright?

Xia Mu, however, was still somewhat shaken.

With his keen observation skills and the quick reaction speed of the Kirito template, he instantly found the weak point of the explosion.

He then used a series of techniques in quick succession: Magic Release, Enhancement Magic, Armament Haki, and Iron Body.

His defenses remained intact during the explosion, so he was not injured.

He originally intended to use the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, but Hanzo used explosive tags combined with Fire Release, not a simple physical attack.

Just to be on the safe side, he used four defensive abilities.

Xia Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

If he's not careful, he's about to become like Nawaki from the original work.

He never imagined that, despite all his calculations, he would be the one to suffer the consequences of this exploding tag.

Tsunade quickly stepped forward and placed her hand on his forehead.

Chakra surged in, and he was quickly examined.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.

But when he came to his senses, he felt that it was too strange that Xia Mu was completely unharmed.

After all, Hanzo used quite a few explosive tags.

With the intention of taking everyone down with him, he detonated all the explosive tags.

Is the iron block's defense really that high?

Tsunade had already learned the Iron Body technique, so she noticed that Natsuki was using it.

Regardless, it's a good thing that Xia Mu wasn't injured.

"Don't be so reckless next time."

Orochimaru retorted, "I have my own ways to avoid harm."

He may not have many other skills, but he has a lot of life-saving ninja techniques.

"Xia Mu also cares about us."

Tsunade quickly said.

Orochimaru didn't say anything more after hearing this.

After all, Xia Mu's actions had just caused his emotions to fluctuate, and he was unusually moved.

"As long as Hanzo is dead, that's all that matters."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

He didn't think too much about it at the time; he just felt he had many ways to defend himself, so he pushed the two of them away.

Although he knew that Orochimaru had many life-saving ninjutsu, pushing only Tsunade would definitely disappoint Orochimaru.

Fortunately, he withstood Hanzo's Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Although the Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation is powerful, Jiraiya was able to withstand it in the original work using the Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo.

The Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo is Jiraiya hardening his hair and wrapping it around his body.

Xia Mu used four defensive abilities, far exceeding the Ninja Art: Needle Jizo.

In fact, he estimated that he could withstand the Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation using only two defensive abilities.

Strictly speaking, this was a worthwhile trade.

He risked his life to save people, and Tsunade and Orochimaru owed him a favor, which would make him safer in Konoha.

Although with his abilities, there's no need to worry too much about his safety.

"Hanzo truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless hero."

Jiraiya sighed, "They used themselves as bait, trying to kill all four of us together."

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

The young Hanzo was indeed a man of spirit.

If he were older, he would most likely try to escape rather than commit suicide together with others.

"Did the salamander die?"

Xia Mu suddenly thought of something and asked.

"I don't know."

Jiraiya replied, "It canceled the summoning jutsu on its own."

"That slash was severe, but a summoning beast as large as the Salamander Ibuki won't die so easily."

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"It's good that he's not dead."

Xia Mu revealed his plan: "After the war ends, I will find it and make it my summoning beast."

Of course, he also had another purpose: to stay in the Land of Rain a little longer and teach Konan and the others.

"Although we now have the antidote for the curse, the poison of the salamander is still a powerful weapon against groups of enemies."

Orochimaru nodded and said.

"It would be best if we could have such a powerful weapon for attacking multiple targets in our own hands."

Jiraiya agreed.

"Some of the ninjas in Amegakure might know where the Salamander Ibuki lives."

Tsunade said thoughtfully.

Generally speaking, summoned beasts usually stay in a fixed place, waiting for their contractors to summon them.

Even the spirit beasts of the three holy lands are the same.

Of course, a few summoned beasts will live with their contractors.

For example, the Inu-kei clan and their ninja dogs.

"Hanzo is dead. Now it's time to end the war with Amegakure."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru said, "Let's rush to the battlefield immediately."

Xia Mu and the others nodded.

The four of them turned and headed toward the distant battlefield.

But they soon discovered that it was no longer their business.

Because the war has come to an end.

Most of the ninjas of Amegakure have been defeated and killed, leaving only a few to put up a last-ditch resistance.

They weren't surprised.

Apart from Hanzo, Amegakure is only a small ninja village in terms of strength, and is far inferior to the Five Great Villages.

The number of Konoha ninjas led by Hatake Sakumo was more than double.

It would be strange if they lost.

"sister!"

Rope Tree noticed their arrival and quickly ran over, asking, "Are you alright?"

Do we look like something's wrong to you?

Xia Mu smiled and asked in return.

With a shout from Nawaki, Sakumo Hatake and the others also saw Natsuki and the others.

They were first puzzled, then shocked.

What's puzzling is that they were completely unharmed after fighting Hanzo.

What's shocking is that since they were completely unharmed, it means they defeated Hanzo, and might even have killed him.

The thought that the almost invincible Hanzo had died at their hands made them feel dazed.

There's no way around it, Hanzo's fame is just too great now.

Many people even call him a demigod, meaning a ninja second only to Hashirama Senju, the god of the ninja world.

Although Natsuki knew that this title was quite undeserved, it did make some sense, at least in the current ninja world.

"Where is Hanzo?"

Rope Tree asked instinctively.

Sakumo Hatake and the others also looked at Natsuki.

After all, speculation is just speculation.

Hanzo is dead.

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"Very good!"

Nawaki immediately exclaimed excitedly, "The war is finally over!"

"He's really dead?"

Did I hear that right?

'

"In the end, our Konoha Village prevailed!"

The other Konoha ninjas couldn't help but start discussing it amongst themselves.

Orochimaru and the others did not stop them.

To be honest, the fact that they were able to kill Hanzo felt somewhat unreal to them.

Before setting off, Hiruzen Sarutobi's goal was only to defeat Amegakure, not to kill Hanzo.

Thinking about it carefully, the biggest contributor is still Xia Mu.

He provided the antidote to the curse, breaking the poison from Hanzo and the salamander.

This also meant that the salamander played little role in the battle.

If Hanzo hadn't been so skilled in water manipulation and swordsmanship, their battle time could have been halved.

"Clean up the battlefield immediately!"

Orochimaru waited a moment before speaking.

"yes!"

The crowd answered excitedly.

Natsuki looked around and spotted Yakushi Nono and the others.

They were all unharmed, just like the rope tree.

The Second Shinobi World War has come to an end.

[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the fifth ability of the Heroic Spirit Emiya template: Unlimited Blade Works.]

A line of text immediately appeared before Xia Mu's eyes.

He couldn't help but nod.

After so long, Unlimited Blade Works has finally been unlocked.

In the future, he won't need to go through so much trouble to use Fantasy Collapse; he can use it whenever he wants.

All you need to do is store enough swords in Unlimited Blade Works.

It can be used even without unleashing Unlimited Blade Works.

Of course, unleashing Unlimited Blade Works is another way to use it.
