Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 123 Starry Night Show VS Hanzo! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The salamander hid underground, while Hanzo disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique.

"As expected of someone known as a demigod, I have never seen a faster teleportation technique than this Water Instantaneous Movement, except for space-time techniques."

Hoshino stood still, but the Sharingan with two tomoe under her contact lenses was turning.

Hanzo was skilled in Water Instantaneous Movement, which he knew, and the rainy weather in the Land of Rain now made this ninjutsu even more powerful.

Sudden.

Xingxia Xiu drew his sword.

clang!

Mars is shooting out in all directions.

Hanzo appeared from the side, and as his ninja sword clashed with his scythe, his chain also struck Hoshino Shuu.

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 Hoshino's ninja sword merely sliced ​​through the rain.

clang!

boom!

The clash of blades between Hoshino and Hanzo sometimes disappeared and sometimes reappeared, the metallic clang of metal clashing and sparks flying everywhere, but even this could not be extinguished.

Hanzo's Water Instant Technique is silent, while Hoshino's Instant Technique is incredibly violent, always accompanied by a booming sound.

Tsunade and the others watching from afar frowned. They could all see that Hoshino Shu was inferior in both the Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship. Each exchange was extremely dangerous, and Hoshino Shu was almost killed by Hanzo with a single strike several times.

Fortunately, Tsunade and the others knew that Hoshino Shu's greatest strengths were not his swordsmanship and Body Flicker Technique, but his Wood Release and Wind Release.

Sudden.

Hoshino, who was fighting Hanzo, launched a counterattack, his sword slashing out with streaks of wind.

Hanzo, who flashed and swung his sword, didn't have time to completely avoid the wind blade that sliced ​​open the flesh of his arm.

Almost splashing, then with a whoosh, Hanzo's body turned into a stream of water and fell down, but then suddenly moved again, like a venomous snake coiling around Hoshino's legs.

Xingxia Xiu didn't dodge; he stomped his foot, and with a loud bang, the ground sank and exploded, splashing water everywhere.

At the same time, Hanzo appeared behind Hoshino.

puff!

Blood splattered, and Hoshino fell, but immediately transformed into vines that wrapped around Hanzo.

Hanzo swung his sword and cleaved the vine in two, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hoshino Hide attacking from the side.

Sudden.

The salamander burst out of the ground, opened its huge mouth, and tried to swallow Xingxia Xiu whole.

But Hoshino suddenly rose higher, narrowly avoiding the salamander's attack.

When the salamander's attack failed, it immediately swooped down and burrowed into the ground.

Then Hanzo's attack came immediately.

It was a massive, surging torrent of water, towering above Xingxia Xiu's figure, crashing and engulfing her from above.

Instead of retreating, Hoshino Hideo strode through the air and swung his sword. A huge wind blade spewed out, cutting through the waves below. The airflow beneath Hoshino Hideo's feet exploded, increasing his speed dramatically, and he passed through the gap.

Eyes facing each other.

Hanzo arrived swiftly, riding the waves.

clang!

The two clashed again with swords.

After several collisions on the water, Xingxia Xiu was kicked away and crashed onto the water with a thud.

In the swordsmanship contest, Xingxia Xiu was utterly defeated.

And then the salamander reappeared.

It burst out from underwater and swallowed Xingxia Xiu whole.

But just as the salamander was about to burrow back into the ground, its enormous body shattered into pieces, and countless wind blades shot out from its body, cutting the highly venomous spirit beast into dozens of pieces.

Xingxia Xiu's figure was enveloped by countless wind blades and air currents, soaring into the sky and forming a blue-eyed dragon, before swooping down to attack Hanzo.

Blade Storm!

At this moment, both Konoha and Amegakure widened their eyes.

The sharp whistling sound, the terrifying momentum, and the immense chakra that could be felt from afar shocked both sides watching the battle.

"As expected of Hide-kun, another S-rank Wind Release ninjutsu!"

Orochimaru's eyes shone brightly as he silently sighed.

Tsunade's eyes were filled with a smile.

Rumble!

A blue-eyed dragon descended from the sky, causing the earth to tremble and a storm to sweep in all directions.

After the storm, Tsunade and the others looked over and saw Hanzo looking somewhat disheveled at the edge of the giant pit.

Not only were his robes torn, but there were also bloodstains on his arms and body, and his breathing mask had been torn in two and lay on the ground.

Looking at Hoshino Shu emerging from the pit, Hanzo said, "You are indeed extraordinary. Even without relying on the Wood Release power inherited from Hashirama Senju, you are worthy of praise."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment. Your teleportation technique is the fastest I've ever seen."

"And in swordsmanship, I am ashamed to admit that I am no match for him."

You dodged that attack just now; it was incredibly fast.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged at Xingxiaxiu again.

As he charged forward, he opened his mouth and spat out purple poison gas.

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

He was implanted with the venom sac of a salamander when he was young, so even his breathing carries toxins, which is why he wears a breathing mask to avoid poisoning those around him.

How could someone like that not use poison?

Before Hoshino could retreat from the poisonous gas, Hanzo had already arrived.

Iron chains bound Hoshino Hide's ninja sword, and the scythe swung down, striking Hoshino Hide's shoulder.

The blade sliced ​​through the robe, but was blocked by the hardened skin.

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

But Hoshino was faster. He threw a punch with his left hand, striking Hanzo's foot before Hanzo could unleash his full power. With a cracking sound, Hanzo was sent flying backward, and the chain binding Hoshino's ninja sword snapped.

However, the wind-style chakra that appeared on Hoshino Shu's ninja sword increased its sharpness dramatically, and with the addition of a terrifying force, it forcefully severed the chains.

bang bang bang~

Hanzo landed and rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before he managed to regain his balance and leap up, but he could only support himself with his scythe.

With Xingxia Xiu's terrifying power, he crippled one of his legs with a single punch.

This was something Hanzo hadn't anticipated.

The information that Iwagakure sold was too outdated.

Not only is there no wind-style ninjutsu like before, but there's also no terrifying power.

And then there's the hardening of the body.

What Hanzo didn't know was that it wasn't that Iwagakure wasn't trying, but that apart from the people of Konoha, all the enemies who fought Hoshino Shuu, except for a few like Onoki, had died.

Moreover, Iwagakure has also concealed the information that it can teleport in space and time.

Hanzo's expression changed once again as he watched Hoshinoshita rushing towards him.

Surprisingly, Hoshino Hide was unaffected by the poison of the salamander. He had just noticed that Hoshino Hide had been breathing in the poisonous gas.

Unexpected, so many unexpected things!

Hanzo's greatest fear was Wood Release, but he never expected...

Swish!

Hanzo used the Body Flicker Technique on one leg to retreat.

The next moment, Xingxiaxiu, who was a step too slow, arrived.

Just as his feet touched the ground, Hanzo, who had retreated, raised one hand.

The ground beneath Xingxia Xiu's feet began to change, and explosive tags rapidly crawled up his legs.

Explosive Flame Array!

This was something Hanzo had set up while he was rolling around on the ground in a sorry state.

"As expected of Hanzo..."

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

Rumble!

The smoke and fire from the explosion enveloped Xingxiaxiu.

however.

The latest novel is first published here!

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

"How is that possible?"

Hanzo found it hard to believe.

He was absolutely certain just now that it was Xingxia Xiu's true form, not some kind of clone.

"No wonder he's called a demigod."

Laughter came from the air.

Hanzo looked up and saw Hoshino Shu standing in the air.

At this moment, Tsunade and the others, as well as the many Rain Ninja on the opposite side, also noticed the Star Show in the sky.

They were also very shocked. How did Xingxiaxiu manage to dodge it?

Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged a glance, recalling the teleportation ability they had witnessed before.

But it seems not.

……

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

Hanzo's explosive flame array was still very powerful, and he couldn't see through the disguise.

Hanzo looked at the cautious Hoshinoshita with a solemn expression.

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

Now, with only one leg left, he is no match for his opponent, as the opponent hasn't even used Wood Release yet.

Without the salamander, he was already having a tough time against Wood Release techniques, and now that he's missing a leg, his Body Flicker Technique speed is greatly reduced.

retreat!

Let's fight again once we've recovered!

Hanzo began to consider retreating.

He was now quite certain that Hoshino had deliberately allowed the salamander to devour him in order to eliminate his summoned beast and deprive him of an escape route.

Sensing Hanzo's intention to retreat, Hoshinobu laughed and said, "Lord Hanzo, to be honest, even if you hadn't started this war today, I would have directly stormed into Amegakure."

"I've always had this idea of ​​planting trees in other ninja villages."

Hanzo's pupils contracted: "It seems we have to fight to the death today."

"Speak," he gestured.

The Rain Ninja watching from the other side seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Lord Hanzo's order: act immediately!"

"kill!"

Hanzo was highly respected. Even though he was at a disadvantage in his battle with Hoshino, many Amegakure ninjas did not hesitate to attack at his command.

It split into two forces, with most of the force rushing towards Tsunade and the others, while the other force attacked Hoshino Hideaki's side.

"We must stop them!"

Tsunade shouted.

Konoha was also split in two to intercept the Rain Ninja.

Seeing the Rain Ninja charging towards him, Hoshino Hide couldn't help but sigh, "That old man really doesn't have any martial ethics..."

"Since that's the case, let's determine who's superior and who's inferior, and also decide who lives and who dies."

With a thought, he used the "Never Give Up" ability in his status bar and targeted Hanzo.

An inexplicable force of rules descended. Hanzo originally wanted to retreat and regroup with his subordinates, but at this moment his thoughts changed: "I must stop this guy first. He can easily catch up with my current speed."

Hanzo then sheathed his sword and formed hand seals.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!

Hanzo opened his mouth and spat out a torrent of water that poured down like a great river, rushing towards Hoshino Hideaki.

He's not only skilled with swords!

Seeing the massive torrent of water rushing towards him, Xingxia Xiu clasped her hands together.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

The ground cracked open, and thick vines rose from the ground, then spread rapidly, covering the sky and the earth with a force even greater than Hanzang's torrent, like a green tide.

Rumble!

The floodwaters collided with the trees, causing them to rise from the ground and continue to grow, while the surging water was blocked and diverted layer by layer, its power quickly dissipating.

Hanzo leaped backward on one leg, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Then the green tide was right in front of him, and a whooshing sound rang out.

Boom!

While in mid-air, Hanzo opened his mouth and spat out flames that collided with the surging green tide, scattering wood fragments everywhere.

As he landed, Hanzo completed his hand seal once more. Water gathered around him, forming a massive water dragon that surged forward, causing vines and trees to fall wherever it passed.

Then Hanzo drew his sword again and cut the sweeping vines in half.

His figure moved at high speed across the water, weaving through the trees.

Even with a limp, Hanzo was incredibly fierce. With his Water Instant Body and sharp swordsmanship, he seemed to ignore the Tree World for a moment, quickly traversing it and attacking Hoshino.

"The demigod truly lives up to his reputation."

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow in surprise, then closed and opened her eyes, activating her immortal mode.

Sage Art - Wood Release - Wood Dragon Technique!

A thick wooden dragon emerged, opening its mouth to bite Hanzo who was charging towards it.

Hanzo discarded his sword, formed hand seals, and the water dragon reappeared.

boom!

When the wooden dragon surged, the water dragon collapsed.

Immediately afterward, the dragon's head swung, and Hanzo was sent flying.

Bang!

Hanzo crashed into a tree trunk, fell to the ground, and spat out blood.

Immediately afterward, before he could struggle to his feet, vines wrapped around him.

Demigod - Hanzo the Salamander, successfully captured!

Sorry for the lateness. I originally planned to write two thousand words per chapter to make up for the leave I requested before, but the plot is coherent, so I decided to finish it all at once.
