This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Since Tsunade's identity is still unknown, it's better to kill this woman.

Now that he knows the other party's identity as the "Thousand-Hand Princess", Hanzo has to consider the consequences of killing her.

Even though Konoha of the Fire Nation is Hanzo's enemy, and the Rain Ninja is about to declare war on Konoha.

However, Hanzo also has to carefully consider the matter of killing Princess Senju.

Once the princess of the Senju clan is killed, Konoha will inevitably retaliate.

Hanzo of the Salamander's original plan was a process of "from weak to strong". After declaring war on the three major countries, he would first challenge the weakest Sand Village of the Wind Country, and then challenge the medium-strength Rock Ninja of the Earth Country.

Finally, he would challenge the strongest Fire Nation, Konoha. If he killed Tsunade, he would have to fight against the strongest Konoha right from the start, which would not only disrupt his plan but also be unprofitable.

Thinking of this, Hanzo's anger dissipated slightly. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Mizunotsuki Ryosuke. Since he did not know the secret technique of Yintun, Ryosuke could only communicate with him "one-way".

"The cooperative relationship between us cannot be exposed."

"Don't hold back from now on, let's just fight it out."

"If you agree with my suggestion, when you attack later, use Iai as your first move to attack my front."

After Mizunoe Ryosuke conveyed a few words to Hanzo of the Salamander again, he stopped talking and just looked quietly at Hanzo of the Salamander on the opposite side.

Although Ryosuke felt that Hanzo would most likely agree to his request, after all, this was in line with his own interests.

However, in order to prevent this guy from getting too excited, Ryosuke had to sacrifice a favor for the sake of stability.

The two of them just kept staring at each other, and those who didn't know would think that this was a "Qi confrontation" between masters.

Hanzo used the chain in his hand to pull back Fei Lian, who had just been knocked away.

Without saying hello, Hanzo of the Salamander chose to take action directly.

Without hesitation, he swung the sickle in his hand heavily towards Mizunoe Ryosuke on the opposite side. The strong wind pressure accompanied by the sharp cold light attacked Ryosuke's face.

Seeing this, a hint of deep understanding flashed in Ryosuke's eyes.

Knowing that the Salamander Hanzo agreed to his request.

Then, he will have a "half-real, half-fake" battle with this demigod of the ninja world.

Chapter 171: Ninja World's Peak Combat Strength

Without any hand seals, Mizunoe Ryosuke simply swung the ice spear in his hand forward.

"Shh!"

An ice wall about five meters wide blocked Hanzo's Iaijutsu.

Even the extremely sharp Iai sword could only shave off some ice chips when it struck the solid ice.

The two people's offense and defense stopped at the right point, which was a mutual test to show their attitudes.

Then, Mizunoe Ryosuke took the opportunity to lean forward slightly and turn his broad back towards Tsunade behind him.

"Come on up, hold on tight."

Ryosuke didn't turn around and spoke slowly to Tsunade behind him.

Hearing this, Tsunade gritted her teeth, ignoring the fatal wound in her abdomen. She hugged Mizunoe Ryosuke's chest tightly with her arms, and her plump body lay on Ryosuke's back, with her long beautiful legs wrapped around Ryosuke's waist.

Feeling the warm touch on his back, Mizunoe Ryosuke's heart was slightly moved.

The Fifth Hokage, who has the world in his heart, is indeed worthy of his reputation

The situation was critical, and Tsunade was unable to estimate the defenses of men and women.

"Please hold on, I have a way to get out of here."

Ignoring her shyness and her own injuries, Tsunade leaned close to Ryosuke's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Hearing this, Ryosuke turned his head and nodded, already roughly guessing how Tsunade would escape.

Then, a bloody battle is about to begin!

Now that things have come to this, there is only one battle left.

Salamander Hanzo narrowed his eyes. Although there was no need to decide life or death, it was obviously impossible to hide the truth from the eyes of a strong man by "fake fighting".

In addition, the relationship between Ryosuke and Hanzo of the Salamander is delicate at the moment. Hanzo of the Salamander might want to take this opportunity to find out more about Ryosuke Mizunoe and experience the combat power of the Fourth Mizukage firsthand.

Carrying Tsunade on his back, Mizunoe Ryosuke casually swung the spear made of ice in his hand into a mist, and then aimed it at Hanzo on the opposite side, indicating that he was ready.

"Everyone get out of the way."

After leaving behind these cold and ruthless words, Hanzo of the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The Rain Ninjas shuddered when they heard this, and then began to retreat quickly to prevent themselves from being accidentally injured by Hanzo of the Salamander.

No one knew better than them how terrifying the Rain Ninja leader would be once he unleashed his full firepower.

Ice escape. Hyodo Iwano!

Mizunoe Ryosuke reacted quickly and stabbed the ice spear in his hand directly into the ground.

A semicircular ice defense instantly formed around him.

Over the past two years, Ryosuke's strength has been improving all the time.

Especially in terms of ice escape, the release of Mizunoe Ryosuke's ice escape has been qualitatively optimized.

Now, he is able to release most of the ice-style ninjutsu without seals, but the prerequisite is that he must hold the medium of "ice" in his hand.

The ice spear in Ryosuke's hand is his new medium for releasing ice escape.

Perhaps due to the limitations of bloodline and talent, this ability is currently limited to ice escape.

When using ninjutsu of other attributes, Ryosuke still needs to make hand seals honestly.

Hanzo, the Salamander who had disappeared on the spot, suddenly appeared beside Ryosuke and slashed the ice surface directly with a sickle.

This time, Hanzo of the Salamander obviously took real action.

The flying sickle in his hand flashed with a light blue light, which was a sign that a large amount of chakra was transmitted. At the same time, Hanzo of the Salamander released the Iai technique without reservation, bringing terrifying destructive power to the sickle.

In the ninja world, there is an extremely precious metal material. Blades made of this material can conduct the user's chakra, doubling the power of the weapon.

But again, such materials are priceless and in short supply.

In the original work, the pair of daggers "Flying Swallows" in Asuma Sarutobi's hands were made of such materials.

And now, the flying sickle in Hanzo's hand is also made of chakra conducting materials!

"laugh!!!"

With one scythe, he actually cut through the ice layer that had not condensed on Bingtang Rock.

After the ice was broken, what awaited Hanzo of the Salamander was Ryosuke Mizunoe who had been waiting inside.

The shape of the ice spear in Ryosuke's hand has changed at this moment, and the shape of the spear head has been changed into a giant hammer head full of spikes.

Ice structure. Giant hammer form!

"Drink!"

He shouted loudly, and with the help of Yangtun's strange power, Ryosuke swung the giant frost hammer with both hands and smashed it towards Hanzo of the Salamander who had just broken through Hyodo Iwamu.

"call!!!"

The ferocious frost hammer smashed towards Hanzo of the Salamander with a terrifying whistling sound that tore through the air.

·· Request flowers·· ··

Hanzo's pupils shrank slightly. Without thinking too much, his instinct had already told him the terrifying destructive power of this giant ice hammer.

At that moment, he quickly raised the sickle in his hand to block.

"boom!!!"

The moment it touched the flying sickle, the huge force immediately pressed the sickle shaft into an arc, and then Hanzo's body flew backwards like a cannonball.

This is not over yet. The hammer head of the ice hammer exploded with extreme cold air at close range.

Countless ice fragments pierced towards Hanzo, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

A large number of ice fragments pierced into Hanzo's body, and it seemed that this blow completely damaged the demigod of the ninja world.

However, Ryosuke's expression did not change at all. Instead, he quickly pulled back.

Because Ryosuke clearly felt that the seemingly heavy blow of the hammer just now did not feel right when it was reflected in his hand. The extremely powerful hammer was like hitting a ball of cotton.

Ryosuke guessed that Hanzo of the Salamander must have some unique melee skills that negated the force of the hammer just now.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander, who had suffered a heavy blow and flew backwards in the air, seemed to be fine. He shook the cloak behind him, and the black cloak actually absorbed all the exploding ice crystals.

Whether it was the bombardment of the giant hammer or the exploding ice crystals, they were all perfectly defended by Hanzo of the Salamander.

Hanzo, whose body was still flying backwards, suddenly threw the flying sickle in his hand towards Mizunoe Ryosuke.

This sickle was like the deadly hook of the god of death, and the sophisticated angle made Mizunoe Ryosuke feel that there was no escape.

Because she was carrying Tsunade on her back, Ryosuke couldn't dodge drastically, so she could only choose to take it head-on.

A layer of ice armor shining with cold light began to condense on Mizunoe Ryosuke's body, and in a moment an extremely gorgeous ice armor suddenly appeared on his body.

Ice armor. Holy cloth form!

"Dang!"

When the flying sickle hooked onto the ice armor, there was a sound of metal clashing.

Even Hanzo's weapon with chakra conduction properties could not break through the defense of the ice armor.

But at the same time, the flying sickle hook also stopped Hanzo from flying backwards.

Instead, Mizunoe Ryosuke was hooked and pulled towards Hanzo's direction.

Chapter 172, Showdown between the Peaks

Mizunoe Ryosuke did not panic. He quickly formed three seals with his hands at a speed that left an afterimage.

Fire escape. Great fire extinguisher!

He used the highest level of Fire Escape, and terrifying high temperature brewed between his mouth and nose.

"boom!!!"

He spewed out a flaming bomb with a diameter of more than fifty meters, like a meteorite.

"Good, so strong"

Tsunade, who had been carried on Ryosuke's back, muttered to herself in a daze.

Such attainments in Fire Release are probably on par with her master, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

(This is a small blow to the Third Hokage, which is considered to be the setting of the Third Hokage of Kishimoto as the strongest Hokage)

Before the fire bomb hit, Hanzo had already sensed something was wrong.

He stopped using the sickle to hook Mizunoe Ryosuke and formed hand seals with the same unclear movements.

At the moment when Ryosuke released the fierce fire "Six Seven Seven" and it disappeared, the chest cavity of the Salamander Hanzo also expanded slightly, opened his mouth and spit out a huge mud bomb!

Salamander. The art of mud cannon!

This is an inherent talent of the wild Salamander, Hanzo's summoned beast.

Wild salamanders usually live in muddy swamps.

Over time, the salamander developed the ability to spit mud bombs.

Mud bombs are neither rock bombs nor water bombs. They have unique composite properties. They have the characteristics of earth escape's weight and density, and also have the properties of water escape. They are considered to be the natural counter to fire escape's ninjutsu.

So at the moment, even though the scale of Hanzo's Mud Cannon Technique is not as large as Ryosuke's Great Fire Extinction, it still has an advantage in attributes.

"boom!"

The fire bombs and mud bombs collided in the air. As the fire bombs exploded, flames and mud in the air scattered in all directions.

Mizunoe Ryosuke took the opportunity to break free from the sickle at his waist, quickly pulled back, and at the same time formed seals with one hand, summoning a total of twenty-four prisms made of ice.

Twenty-four ice mirrors formed a perfect camouflage around Mizunoe Ryosuke.

Secret Art. Magic Mirror Illusion

Under the magic mirror's illusionary disguise, the two of them instantly disappeared from the spot.

Since the problem can be solved by simply delaying time, there is naturally no need for Ryosuke to fight to the death with Hanzo of the Salamander.
