This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

But the next moment, the situation suddenly became tense.

"That's fine."

"Once I capture you, I will know everything."

Hanzo suddenly raised his hand and pulled, and a single-edged Fei Lian with a hook appeared in his hand.

Seeing this situation, Hoshigaki Kisame, who had been on guard for a long time, directly drew out the big sword on his back, Samehada.

"Samehada, it looks like you are from Kirigakure."

While muttering to himself, Hanzo drew his sickle and attacked the two men at a speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

Although he said this, he was not completely sure of this guess in his heart.

Because it's just a knife.

Props like this can be used by anyone.

Even ninjas from other ninja villages could take away the ninja sword and use it, and it would not mean anything.

"So fast!"

Hoshigaki Kisame's pupils contracted slightly, and some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Without any hesitation, he stood in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke and held the Samehada in his hand horizontally forward to block him.

“Dang!!!!”

As the sickle and Samehada collided, a large amount of sparks burst out from the point where the two weapons collided.

Hanzo of the Salamander did not leave any breathing space for Hoshigaki Kisame. He danced the Flying Lotus back and forth at a terrifying speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

“Dangdangdang!!!”

For a moment, Kisame was suppressed in close combat and could only barely resist the attack from Hanzo of the Salamander.

Not only was the technique and speed breathtaking, but the recoil force from Samehada also made Kisame's hand holding the sickle feel a little numb.

Whether it was speed, strength, or skills, Kisame was suppressed in all aspects at this moment.

"Is this the power of a demigod?"

Hoshigaki Kisame muttered to himself while desperately trying to parry the attack from Hanzo of the Salamander.

Faced with the sudden attack of Hanzo of the Salamander, Ryosuke did not choose to take action immediately.

The opportunity to fight against the peak-level Salamander Hanzo is a good training for the young Kisame.

And the sudden attack of Hanzo of the Salamander did not change Ryosuke's mood.

From some details, we can actually see Hanzo's attitude.

Taking action alone and calling on your subordinates to take action together are two completely different things.

So Ryosuke still watched the fight between the two with great interest, as the saying goes, seeing is believing.

The current battle between the two of them is just the right time for Ryosuke to truly evaluate Hanzo's combat power and measure his value.

"Dang!!!"

Another heavy blow came from Hanzo of the Salamander. The huge force from Samehada directly made Kisame retreat a full three meters.

"not good!"

At this moment, Kisame was suddenly shocked, a dangerous aura rose from his heart, and his still numb arms were no longer able to resist.

"call"

After slashing Kisame with a sickle, Hanzo suddenly took a deep breath, and a sharp cold light emanated from his body.

"bass!!!"

The next second, he raised the sickle in his hand high and slashed at Kisame who was three meters away.

This made Ryosuke standing next to him look solemn.

If he doesn't take action, I'm afraid Kisame will be defeated next.

In the current ninja world, I'm afraid that Hanzo of the Salamander's melee level can be ranked in the top three.

Without hesitation, Ryosuke flashed and stood in front of Kisame.

At the same time, with Hanzo's heavy slash, a sharp cold light slashed towards Kisame!

This is an extremely advanced melee technique called: Iai!

Experts who are proficient in this art can use the weapons to slash and launch sharp attacks similar to "sword energy".

Such skills are almost extinct in the ninja world, but in the Iron Country, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, there is still a violent group called "Samurai" who studies such skills.

The cold light with an extremely sharp aura was about to cut Ryosuke.

He slowly stretched out a hand, and a layer of transparent ice suddenly condensed in the air.

Under the extremely low temperature, this ice wall has extremely terrifying hardness.

"Ding!"

When Hanzo Salamander's Iai Slash hit the ice wall, it was like hitting steel, leaving a shallow mark on the ice wall and then disappearing.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's sudden move also means that the meaning of the situation has become completely different.

The ice escape technique displayed by Ryosuke also made Hanzo Salamander completely confirm the identities of the two people in front of him.

If the Samehada sword in Kisame's hand was just a coincidence, then the Mizunoe clan's iconic ice escape technique fully explained the identities of the two.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

A ninja's strength can often be revealed from his most basic qualities.

Compared to 670, such as the temperature of fire escape, the amount and momentum of water escape, the sharpness of wind escape, etc.

The ice wall that Ryosuke casually condensed was so hard, which was enough to show how unfathomable Ryosuke's strength was.

If Hoshigaki Kisame just now was just "okay" in Hanzo's eyes, then at this moment, Salamander Hanzo had already regarded Mizunoe Ryosuke in front of him as an opponent of the same level.

At this point, Hanzo suddenly put away the sickle in his hand.

It wasn't that he was planning any big move, but he knew that there was no need to continue fighting.

Even though he knew very little about Kirigakure, Hanzo still knew some basic information.

He knew clearly that the Hidden Mist Village had just completed a transfer of power two years ago, and the new Fourth Mizukage was a member of the Mizunoe clan who was good at ice escape.

He can command the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and has the unique ice escape technique of the Mizunotsuki clan.

The identity of Mizunoe Ryosuke is about to be revealed.

Salamander Hanzo's eyes flickered, as if he couldn't believe his own guess.

"I wonder what the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure has in store for you, Rain Ninja?"

Even if it is no longer possible, what just happened has undoubtedly explained everything.

That was the young man in front of him, the Fourth Mizukage who had just taken over two years ago.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke on the other side still did not move, but just smiled and looked at the Salamander Hanzo without saying a word.

Chapter 164: Willing to accept defeat and take second place

Seeing this, Hanzo frowned. He was a little confused about what Ryosuke was up to.

But when he saw Hoshigaki Kisame beside Ryosuke, he suddenly woke up.

Logically speaking, the arm muscles of Hoshigaki Kisame, who had just fought with him, should not have recovered yet and would have slight spasms.

But at this moment, Hoshigaki Kisame's arms were placed steadily at his sides, without any abnormality at all.

In the minds of experts, sometimes one detail is enough to make a decision.

"Something's wrong!"

At that moment, Hanzo of the Salamander used chakra to attack his brain nerves. After a dizzying moment, Ryosuke Mizunoe and Kisame Hoshigaki in front of him had disappeared without a trace.

Hanzo covered his still dizzy head and turned around, only to find that the two people who were supposed to be in front of him were already sitting in the house.

Mizunoe Ryosuke sat down without any hesitation where he had just knelt.

After seeing the gaze of Hanzo of the Salamander, Ryosuke didn't care at all. He just stretched out his finger and pointed to the position on the opposite side, making a "please" gesture.

At this moment, Hanzo Salamander was covered in cold sweat.

It turned out that he had been caught in Ryosuke's illusion since some time ago.

Such secretive methods of casting spells and high-level illusion techniques are probably enough to rival the legendary Uchiha clan of Konoha.

It is hard to imagine that Mizunoe Ryosuke has such a level of illusion without having the Sharingan.

Caught off guard, he was hit directly!

If Mizunoe Ryosuke had done something while he was under the illusion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hanzo's loss of composure lasted only a moment, and he quickly recovered. As a "demigod of the ninja world", he had some ability to accept this.

In addition, since Ryosuke did not take action, it means that he had no ill intentions.

Hanzo of the Salamander took a deep look at the main seat which was now occupied by Ryosuke, without saying much, and accepted the defeat.

So he followed the direction Ryosuke pointed and sat down on the opposite side of him.

After a brief fight, everything seemed to be back to square one.

Hanzo of the Salamander and Ryosuke Mizunoe sat on the floor, looking at each other, neither saying a word.

On the other side, Hoshigaki Kisame stood aside tactfully and did not sit next to Ryosuke.

Feeling his arms still shaking, Kisame looked at Hanzo with a serious look.

Obviously, he is not qualified to participate in occasions of this level yet, so he cannot be on the same table with Hanzo.

As Mizunoe Ryosuke said, Kirigakure and Amegakure are not enemies in themselves, and there has never been any hostility between them before.

In other words, there is a lot of room for negotiation between the Rain Shinobi and the Kirigakure.

The reason why Hanzo of the Salamander chose to take action earlier was very simple.

Whether it is negotiation or cooperation.

Strength is the foundation. Not just two small fish and shrimps can come and talk about cooperation with Hanzo of the Salamander under the name of the five major ninja villages.

How could the "Demigod of the Ninja World" not even have this little bit of dignity?

The previous fight was just to verify the strength of Ryosuke's side. If they really wanted to fight, Hanzo would have called on the other Rain Ninjas hiding in the mansion to take action together.

During the battle, since the strength of Mizunoe Ryosuke and the identity of the Fourth Mizukage had been verified, there was naturally no need to continue this meaningless battle.

Just when Hanzo was about to stop, he found that he had fallen into an illusion.

Therefore, in this limited test, he was defeated by Ryosuke.

Furthermore, after discovering that the main seat had been occupied by Ryosuke, Hanzo of the Salamander was not angry.

Firstly, it is because one is willing to accept defeat.

Secondly, in terms of status, as one of the Five Kage in the Ninja World, Ryosuke's status is naturally higher than Hanzo of the Salamander.

Neither of them spoke after sitting down, as they both had their own thoughts in their minds.

Ryosuke was naturally very clear about Hanzo's plan and what would happen next in the ninja world.

At this moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke was constantly evaluating the value of Hanzo of the Salamander in his mind.

In the battle with Kisame just now, Mizunoe Ryosuke had already estimated the actual combat power of Hanzo of the Salamander.

If compared with Uchiha Madara and Hashirama, Hanzo the Salamander is naturally not good enough.

But there is no doubt that in today's ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander is definitely one of the top fighters.

His impeccable speed, strength, and skills make up for his suffocating melee ability, while the poison from the salamander makes up for his lack of range damage ability.

As far as Ryosuke knows, Hanzo of the Salamander also has advanced water-style jutsu.

Perhaps the only flaw of Hanzo Salamander is that he has not reached the pinnacle of illusion.

With such combat power, it is no wonder that he is able to defeat the three young ninjas.

In fact, among the current Rain Ninjas, the only one he thought was valuable was Hanzo of the Salamander.
