Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 342 Nagato's Application for Legion Commander (Part 2)

The land of rain.

"I've had a lot more free time lately."

Jin stroked his chin.

Hanzo glanced at Jin and slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.

"If you did your own work instead of making me do it, you wouldn't say such ridiculous things."

"Haha." Jin laughed awkwardly twice and patted Hanzo on the shoulder.

"This is called 'the capable should do more'."

"Hmph." Hanzo snorted coldly.

When he was in the ninja village, he only needed to be in charge of one small village.

Now he has to be in charge of the operation of two cities.

One is a new city, and the other is a newly emerged ghost town.

The name "Empty City" is very misleading.

This workload is too much for anyone to handle.

"And then there are all the odds and ends you've picked up lately; the prisons in both cities are almost overflowing."

Hanzo couldn't help but complain.

The population of the Land of Rain is constantly increasing, but who are these people coming here?

Firstly, those coming from the Gold Exchange are more normal; they are all people who have lost their homes and have no choice but to move to the Land of Rain.

These people are willing to be fed.

However, the welfare policies in the Land of Rain allow them to live a good life here.

There are also some geniuses who possess bloodline limits.

These people have caused a huge loss of money, and now Kakuzu sees everyone as someone he'd fight to the death with.

These are all acceptable.

The main reason is that ever since the Land of Rain made a name for itself, a steady stream of wandering ninjas have come here, some even intending to join the army.

Kim also generously adopted the policy of joining the Rain Country.

These people were not peaceful at all, and they caused a lot of damage between the two cities.

One must also distinguish the spies from each village.

If Hanzo hadn't shared some of the workload, he felt he would have died from overwork.

This de facto ruler does absolutely nothing all day.

All they do is cause trouble.

"I'm getting out, I'm getting out."

Jin raised his hands in surrender, his resentment as a working man simply couldn't take it anymore.

Just as Jin was about to go out.

But the door was opened.

Nagato, dressed in a uniform, walked in.

Two heads peeked out from outside the door and then quickly withdrew.

They assumed no one else had seen it.

"Nagato?"

"Your Excellency, Commander Hanzo."

Nagato knelt on the ground with his head down.

"I want to apply to establish an army."

Hanzo stopped revising the documents, looked up, and a folding fan appeared in his hand, which he held in his palm.

"You should know that without special abilities, if you want to become a legion commander, you must at least be able to fight to a draw with a legion commander."

After all, the legion commander was the strongest subordinate in Jin's hands.

I don't know what Shennong was thinking last time, but he wanted to become the legion commander and lead the Sky Ninja.

He was utterly crushed and beaten, and is still depressed.

Are you sure there's no problem?

Jin looked at Nagato and asked.

Nagato glanced back and saw Konan and Yahiko sticking their heads out again, raising their fists in encouragement.

Nagato nodded seriously.

"no problem!"

With a smile, Jin opened the folding fan in his hand and asked Hanzo a question.

"Commander Hanzo, would you be interested in training a rookie?"

Hanzo looked at Nagato, especially at the eyes in Nagato's eye sockets.

"I'm also very curious about the Sage of Six Paths' eyes."

He paid close attention to Nagato, a pawn of a powerful figure, who, with the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, had all sorts of buffs stacked up.

It's hard not to attract attention.

As for Kakuzu...

You don't even need to ask to know he'll refuse; this guy just wants to make back the money he lost.

"Then let's do it in three days."

Hanzo said.

Jin looked at Hanzo with surprise.

"Why not now?"

What do you think?

Hanzo said in a cold voice.

Jin gave an awkward smile.

Indeed, the problem seems to lie with him.

Hanzo's workload was astonishing.

three days later.

The location was chosen in an abandoned city.

Because of the waste products from World War II and the limited population of the Rain Country, there was no plan to build a new city.

Kakuzu and Kin stood to one side.

Shiro and Hinaka were whispering to each other.

Jin asked curiously.

"Are those two really that close?"

Kakuzu gave this spendthrift leader a cold glance.

"I have no idea."

Aside from money matters, he had no time to care about this.

"You guys."

Jin shook his head.

"There's absolutely no fun in gossip."

These people now belong to the upper echelons of the Rain Kingdom.

The three legion commanders, as for Hinaka herself, were tasked with forming an army.

However, the requirements for sealing techniques are quite high, and it is still difficult to form a team of a thousand people.

The main concern is that another Shiro Naika might appear; the medical corps is notoriously afraid of dying.

"It's about to begin."

Both Kim and Kakuzu began to read it carefully.

Hanzo watched as Nagato picked up the scythe.

"I won't hold back, Nagato."

"I am very confident in my abilities."

Nagato smiled.

"Don't worry, Commander Hanzo."

But the next moment, Hanzo appeared beside Nagato, slashing at him with his scythe.

"Let me teach you something: in a fight, you never let your opponent be ready."

Nagato's pupils dilated when he saw the scythe flying towards him.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The powerful transparent shield spread rapidly outwards, and the scythes were quickly deflected. Even Hanzo was not spared; he was sent flying backwards, tumbling through the air before landing on the ground.

"A type of rebound ninjutsu?"

The next moment, Nagato rushed up as well, giving Hanzo no chance to react, and clapped his hands together.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!!"

A strong gust of wind blew Hanzo into the air.

"Fire Release: Pill Fire!"

One of the ninjutsu developed by Kinso: Nurturing a flame within the human body, the flame's power grows along with the host.

Nagato opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blue flame.

It sprayed towards Hanzo like a flamethrower.

Hanzo tried to dodge but it was too late; he was instantly burned to ashes by the flames.

However, Nagato did not let his guard down. He knew very well that Hanzo, who had become the legion commander, would not be defeated so easily.

Shiroka is an exception among the legion commanders.

A wisp of purple mist drifted in the air; it was the ash from the burning that had turned into purple mist.

"Their strength is not bad."

On the distant water, Hanzo slowly rose up.

"But that alone is not enough."

Nagato raised his hands.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The repulsive force pushed away all the poisonous mist around the body, as well as the hidden shuriken inside.

Nagato rushed towards Hanzo immediately, two kunai appearing from his sleeve.

Hanzo clapped his hands together.

"Poison Escape! Poison Dragon Technique!"

A purple venomous dragon spewed from Hanzo's mouth and rushed towards Nagato.

Nagato raised his hands.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The intense repulsive force instantly tore the poison dragon apart.

"You can even arrange this?"

Hanzo looked cautious.

This kind of ninjutsu with absolute defensive properties has never been seen before.

For a moment, he was completely at a loss as to how to proceed, when Nagato charged forward with a kunai in hand.

"when!"

The kunai clashed with the sickle.

Hanzo opened his mouth immediately.

"Poison Mist Technique!"

Purple mist emanated from his body.

Nagato continues.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The strong repulsive force blasted Hanzo and the poisonous mist away.

Even Kakuzu, who was watching the battle, became serious. It seemed that even if he were to use this kind of ninjutsu that could separate the two sides, he would not be able to gain any advantage.

Hanzo, who was flying backward, looked at Nagato, who was standing still.

Instead of pursuing, the other party raised his hand and aimed it at him.

"Universal Guidance!!"

A powerful suction suddenly erupted, propelling him toward Nagato.

Nagato shouted once more.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The intense repulsion and suction are enough to render a person incapable of fighting.

But Hanzo suddenly disappeared.

Nagato quickly turned around, and Hanzo was already charging towards him with his scythe.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The intense repulsion blasted Hanzo away again.

Hanzo rolled over and landed on the ground, staggering backward.

"That's true."

Hanzo looked at Nagato with a solemn expression.

"I have no choice but to go all out."

Clap your hands together.

"Poison Escape! Great River!"

It opened its mouth and spat out a purple river that rushed towards Nagato.

The mighty river rushed in all directions, creating a small purple lake in the blink of an eye.

Kim, along with Kakuzu, hovered in mid-air to watch the battle.

Bai Nai Xiang and Huo Nai Xiang are running wildly.

I could faintly hear something coming from afar.

"Can't you guys even think about the people around you?!"

Jin shook his head.

I feel like if Hinaka and Shironoka get together, those two are doomed.

"That guy's getting serious."

Kakuzu stared intently at the two of them.

"Nagato is going to lose."

"That's not necessarily true."

Jin said meaningfully.

Nagato stood in the purple river, looking down at her shoes as they were rapidly being corroded by the toxic purple water.

It was only a matter of time before his skin came into contact with the poison.

"If we continue like this, we're going to lose."

Looking up, their eyes met in mid-air.

Hanzo gave a cold laugh.

"How will you arrange them then?"

Nagato quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

Hanzo narrowed his eyes, watching Nagato gradually rise into the sky.

With his smile unchanged, Kim looked at the floating Nagato.

The Six Paths Eye granted Nagato seven chakra natures and also allowed him to master seven nature transformations.

In addition, the Land of Rain possesses all the ninjutsu of the entire ninja world.

Furthermore, Nagato did not choose an attribute based on his chakra internal energy.

Nagato now certainly possesses the ability to fight Hanzo.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Intense flames erupted from the long doorway.

Hanzo quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and spat out.

"Poison Escape! Poison Torrent!!"

The rapidly flowing poisonous water instantly extinguished Nagato's flames, but its momentum continued to surge towards Nagato.

Nagato reached out her hand towards the oncoming poisonous water.

"Shinra Tensei!!"

The strong repulsion kept the poisonous water out, preventing it from getting in at all.

Hanzo was at a loss for what to do.

"good."

He nodded to Nagato, which was a sign of his approval; Nagato's strength could be considered that of an elite Jonin.

"pity."

Hanzo said in a cold voice.

"It's still a little short."

It doesn't qualify as a movie-level film.

A large amount of poisonous fog had somehow enveloped Nagato.

"You're just as stupid as Kakuzu, both of you want high temperatures to destroy my poison."

Hanzo snorted coldly.

That's a really naive idea.

Jin hurriedly grabbed Kakuzu, who was rolling up his sleeves and about to rush forward.

"Forget it, you can take him out at another time."

Nagato is still in the testing phase, so we can't let Kakuzu interrupt him like this.

Kakuzu snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on Hanzo with a sinister look.

Although the opponent's poison was extremely troublesome, Kakuzu could fail countless times, but Hanzo would die if he failed even once against him.

Nagato's pupils moved rapidly as he saw the poisonous mist enveloping him. Just as he was about to raise his hand to push the mist away, a sudden pain shot through his body, and he fell from the sky.

With a "plop," he fell into the poisonous water.

"it's over."

Hanzo snorted coldly, the toxins in this poisonous water were not as potent as those in Kakuzu.

At most, he'll just be unconscious.

He turned to look at Jin in the distance, but Jin pointed ahead of him and said to read the other person's lips.

"It's not over yet."

"It's not over yet!!"

Nagato suddenly emerged from the water and stood on the surface.

Hanzo noticed the faint black lines on Nagato's forehead. Nagato's mouth looked like it was stuffed with a pineapple, and he was trying to chew something.

He probably ate too fast, and suddenly slapped his throat hard. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, so he half-squatted on the ground and drank a big mouthful of poisonous water.

He actually drank his poisoned water! That's a deadly toxin.

The other person drank it without caring at all.

If he hadn't deliberately reduced the amount of poison, the other person would have died long ago in that state.

Hanzo felt deeply insulted.

These are people from the Land of Rain. These are people from the Land of Rain. These are people from the Land of Rain.

Hanzo took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

"Die!!!"

"Poison Escape! Heavenly Poison King's Technique!"

The purple river water condensed into a purple sphere behind Hanzo, and a large mouth gradually appeared on his face, while limbs continued to grow on his body.

The enormous body lunged at Nagato.

Nagato, having finally swallowed all the antidote pills, felt the sky darken and looked up to see a huge, round monster.

"Glug."

He swallowed hard and raised his hands forward.

"Shinra Tensei!!!"

Full power!!

The enormous transparent air shield rushed outwards in a 360-degree arc, displacing the water from the poisonous lake and even sending the giant egg-shaped monster flying backwards under the immense repulsive force.

Even Hanzo, caught off guard, was sent flying backwards.

He didn't expect the other party to be able to use it over such a wide range.

Nagato wiped away the blood and tears from the corner of his eyes, staring blankly at the empty space he had cleared with Shinra Tensei.

He scratched his face.

"Did I win?"

Kakuzu and Kin appeared instantly beside Nagato.

"Congratulations, Commander of the Nagato Legion."

Jin slapped Nagato's forehead with the folding fan in his hand.

"You win."

"You can now form a thousand-strong force and name your legion. As for their responsibilities, you'll need to discuss that with the other legion commanders."

Currently, the Rain Army's maintenance of order is a spontaneous act; Jin merely granted the Money Army the right to collect taxes.

However, this can be seen as tacitly acknowledging Hanzo's actions.

Two soldiers carried the unconscious Hanzo out of the ruins, and he regained consciousness as the sunlight shone on him.

Upon seeing the long face, his expression darkened.

Just because of a moment of carelessness, they actually lost.

He did throw the game, but this was the way he lost.

It's worse than killing him.

He was astonished that he had failed because he underestimated Nagato. He snorted coldly and stood up with the help of two Rain Army soldiers.

"I can walk by myself."

Hanzo gave Nagato a cold look.

This guy actually stepped on him to become the new legion commander.

I'm so angry!!
