Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 79 The Deadly Poison of the Salamander

Hanzo the Salamander really only wanted to escape.

Faced with Pain's unpredictable nature and the combination of Nagato and Konan, this ninja demigod knew that his chances of winning were pitifully low.

Rather than using the salamander to launch a counterattack, it's better to avoid getting injured and thus conserve more stamina and chakra to escape.

Taking advantage of the chaos created by Shinra Tensei, Hanzo of the Salamander suddenly disappeared from his spot, using the Substitution Jutsu and Body Flicker Jutsu alternately to escape into the distance!

With each step Hanzo the Salamander took to escape, his horror grew.

Because every inch of land he stepped on was made up of stacks of explosive tags, just how big was the area covered by these explosive tags!

"Universal Guidance!"

With a soft shout from Pain, Hanzo suddenly found his body flying backward toward Pain as if out of his control!

Hanzo the Salamander swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed a massive surge of water from his mouth: "Water Release: Water Shock Wave!"

He wanted to use the power of the waves to repel Payne, or at least find a way to get rid of this inexplicable gravitational pull.

However, a fat, orange-haired man appeared between them, emanating a white light. He simply stretched out his palm and absorbed all of Mizukuri's chakra.

It was Pain of the Hungry Ghost Path.

"Ninjutsu attacks are ineffective?"

Hanzo the Salamander tore off the scythe from his back and, using the power of the Universal Pull, flew into the air!

Pain ignored Hanzo's scythe and looked at him expressionlessly, saying, "Hanzo, I will never forget Yahiko's pain..."

"...The resurrected dead...how come they have another pair of Rinnegan?"

A flicker of fear crossed Hanzo's eyes as he gripped his scythe and slashed at Pain in front of him with a look of surprise and uncertainty!

He is indeed dead.

Pain ducked, using the momentum to dodge Hanzo's scythe, and placed his hand on Hanzo's chest: "Now standing before you... is the true god of this world!"

Click!

A black rod emerged from Payne's palm!

The Yin-Yang Release black rod pierced through Hanzo's body!

Taking advantage of the moment when Hanzo's chakra was frozen, Pain kicked Hanzo in the head, knocking him to the ground!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Four black rods shot out one after another!

Hanzo the Salamander was pinned to the ground!

The black rods of Yin-Yang Release not only restricted his chakra but also his movements, leaving him completely immobilized and at the mercy of his opponent.

Pain walked up to him and stomped on Hanzo's head: "I thought I was going to enjoy a satisfying revenge, but all I got was endless disappointment. You really are weak, Hanzo..."

Hanzo the Salamander looked up at Pain, the Deva Path who had insulted him, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, whether from injury or anger, it was unclear.

"Just kill him!"

Konan glanced at Hanzo the Salamander with some displeasure, then raised her hand: "There's no point in humiliating someone like that!"

Nagato was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Uehara Naraku beside him: "Go, Uehara, kill this worthless piece of trash who has lost his will. He's not worth Pain's time."

Naraku Uehara: "..."

What do you mean by that?

Why should we make Payne take action if he's not worth it?

You always manage to humiliate two people with just one sentence. Nagato, you're truly something else!

Not to mention Uehara Naraku, even Konan felt that Nagato's words were a bit excessive.

Uehara could actually understand their feelings; it was like painstakingly plotting to assassinate a big boss, only to have them throw a shuriken at you…

Then the BOSS died.

Hanzo of the Salamander, after being misled by Danzo Shimura and attempting to assassinate the Akatsuki organization in order to consolidate his power but nearly being killed in the process, had already lost heart.

Or rather, from that time on, Hanzo only thought about surviving.

Whose fault is this?

It's all Danzo Shimura's fault.

In this ninja world, very few people who have been associated with Shimura Danzo or brainwashed by him have a good ending.

Hanzo the Salamander, Nono Yakushi, Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha…

Of course, there were also people who specifically restrained Shimura Danzo.

That was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha. With his Will of Fire, he managed to re-brainwash those who were almost led astray by Danzo.

This makes me have to give credit to Kakashi Hatake.

This white-haired Jonin from Konoha endured his dark childhood, survived Danzo's brainwashing, survived the brainwashing of the Will of Fire... until Kakashi encountered the talk-no-jutsu of a certain blond brat, and finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Uehara Naraku retracted his wandering thoughts and walked step by step toward Hanzo the Salamander, casually taking the black rod that Pain handed him.

Hanzo the Salamander's gas mask fell off, and he glared at Uehara Naraku approaching, gritting his teeth: "Kid, you think you can kill me?"

To be honest, Nagato and Konan terrified him.

Uehara Naraku, who had been deceiving him all along, was truly despicable!

This brat deceived the salamander god, betrayed the feelings of Amegakure, and even directly caused his death!

Since the day Hanzo of the Salamander decided to accept the meeting with Danzo Shimura, and even received news that Danzo might make concessions, he was secretly pleased, thinking that he could once again use the power of Konoha to resolve his threat.

Who would have thought that this was a complete scam!

Xiao, you bastard, even led him to this place to be executed!

"Farewell, Lord Hanzo."

Uehara Naraku gripped the Yin-Yang Release staff and stabbed it towards Hanzo the Salamander on the ground, muttering, "If you have any grudges, go find Shimura Danzo!"

After hearing Uehara's words, even Hanzo the Salamander's mind went a little sluggish.

However, when it came to a life-or-death situation, Hanzo finally came to his senses!

"Go to hell first, you brat!"

Hanzo the Salamander suddenly spat out a mouthful of poisonous gas, which was the poison gas from the venom sac of the salamander in his body, a poison so potent that even he himself could not withstand it!

However, Hanzo secretly hid a small bottle of antidote between his teeth, which could be temporarily relieved by biting it open.

This is his real killer move.

Taking advantage of Uehara Naraku's proximity, Nagato and Konan's distance on the cliff, and Pain's inability to react in time, the salamander's deadly poison was released instantly!

As long as these guys are hindered by the poison, he will have a chance to escape!

As long as you can survive, anything is possible in the future!

"Uehara!"

"Naraku!"

Nagato and Konan's expressions changed drastically.

In their sight, the proud yet naive young ninja who had always followed them was completely unconcerned about the poison of the salamander. He gripped the Yin-Yang Release black rod in his hand and stabbed it into Hanzo's back!

Side Quest: The Fall of a Demigod (1/1), quest completed, reward: Astral Infusion skill.

Star Infusion: Consumes 10% of current health and chakra to replenish the corresponding percentage of health and chakra of allies. Cooldown: 6 seconds.

Side Quest: Collect a new type of super poison (1/1). Quest complete. Reward: Mushroom Planting skill.

Plant a mushroom: Use chakra to generate an invisible, highly poisonous mushroom that can be placed in the target area, providing a small area of ​​vision within the target area; when a target steps on the mushroom, the mushroom will explode and poison the target. The size of each mushroom is related to the amount of chakra, and the minimum consumption is 100 chakra points.

Standing amidst the deadly poison of the salamander, Uehara Naraku glanced at the two skills he had been rewarded with by the system. He felt that participating in the assassination of Hanzo the Salamander had actually been a worthwhile endeavor; he could now become a medical ninja...

We just need to find a way to explain it.

Why not take some time to learn some medical ninjutsu?

The salamander is highly poisonous, but Uehara really didn't take it seriously.

He possesses a purification skill; he can use purification to remove the poison once he leaves the poisonous area.

As for how to explain it to Nagato and Konan?

With so many Rain Village ninja corpses in this place, surely we can find an antidote for the deadly poison of the Salamander on their bodies?

Uehara Naraku's calculations were very accurate.

Everything should go as he expected.

This time, he miscalculated one thing again.

Ignoring her own safety, Konan hurriedly flew into the poisonous mist of the salamander, grabbed Uehara's arm, and pulled him away to escape!

"Xiao Nan, you don't need to worry..."

Asura Path Pain appeared beside them, pushing Nagato's wheelchair with a tense expression: "I can send the Six Paths of Pain into the poisonous fog to rescue Uehara."

"It's alright, let's find the antidote first."

Konan held Uehara Naraku tightly, urging him in a low voice, "Nagato, hurry... I told you, you have to protect Naraku!"

"..."

Uehara could only hide in her arms.

I felt a little happy, but also a little worried.
