This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Ryosuke already has enough understanding of Hanzo's abilities.

Unpredictable melee combat capabilities, comprehensive and unique ninjutsu, and a group of toxic gases that are always waiting to be unleashed.

These all constitute Hanzo's comprehensive and terrifying combat power.

At this moment, continuing the fight might lead to a real fire, so Ryosuke chose to use the magic mirror to simulate disguise to buy enough time.

Endurance, body, illusion

These are the three elements of ninja that every ninja is familiar with.

Whether it is ninjutsu or illusion, in today's ninja world where the Six Paths cannot be revealed, Ryosuke is confident that he has reached the top of the ninja world.

However, in terms of physical skills, although he has the support of a series of ninjutsu such as ice armor and super strength, Ryosuke is not weak, but if compared with some top physical skills masters, he is still inferior.

Of course, this "not as good as" is only compared with top physical skills masters like Bazo or the Third Raikage. If it is an ordinary strong man, Ryosuke will naturally not be afraid.

As long as the Eight Gates are not used, Hanzo of the Salamander at his peak is enough to dominate the ninja world with his taijutsu!

With powerful Iai skills, coupled with impeccable agility and strength, he is fearless in close combat.

Ryosuke has the protection of ice armor. Although he will not be defeated when facing Hanzo, he can only passively take the beating.

As the saying goes, a long defense will lead to a loss, so once a close combat competition of physical skills takes place, Ryosuke will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Ryosuke's strategy from the beginning to the end was to keep distance and avoid close combat.

At the same time, this also allows him to fully utilize his own ninjutsu and illusion techniques.

Hanzo obviously understood this, so he kept biting Ryosuke and tried to drag him into close combat.

Under normal circumstances where no trump cards or big moves are used, the fight between the two people depends on whether they can keep the distance.

Before Mizunoe Ryosuke started fighting, he had already conveyed orders to Kisame through telepathy.

Otherwise, if he had seen Ryosuke and Hanzo fighting, Hoshigaki Kisame would probably have started fighting with the Rain Ninja long ago.

Now that things have changed, Ryosuke took advantage of the time gap gained by the magic mirror simulation and gave the "retreat" order to Hoshigaki Kisame.

He also briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Hoshigaki Kisame and asked him to bring the news to the remaining two "confidants" to avoid any trouble.

Seeing this, Kisame no longer hesitated and took advantage of the chaos to leave Hanzo's mansion and execute the retreat order issued by Ryosuke.

At the same time, under the magic mirror's illusion, Ryosuke and Tsunade also got a chance to catch their breath.

Tsunade looked at the ice mirrors around her in surprise. As smart as she was, she had already guessed the effect of this technique.

Since he knew that the magic mirror's illusion would be exposed to the rain due to the "sound", Ryosuke naturally avoided this weakness.

Although most of the environment here is open to the sky, there are still many places that are not affected by rain.

At this time, Ryosuke had brought Tsunade to the eaves of a Rain Ninja building.

Thanks to the perfect camouflage created by the magic mirror, it is impossible to be discovered unless Hanzo uses indiscriminate large-scale attacks.

In the quiet space, in order to avoid making any noise and attracting the attention of the Salamander Hanzo, the two even slowed down their breathing.

Ryosuke, who was originally planning to explain the magic mirror's illusion effect to Tsunade, realized after seeing Tsunade's condition that he didn't need to say much, as Tsunade had already guessed the magic mirror's illusion effect.

The two men remained motionless with their backs to each other. They both wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Ryosuke turned his head and his sight was drawn directly into a pair of green eyes.

In an instant, for some reason, the two of them understood each other's thoughts tacitly.

Without further words, a tacit understanding surged into the hearts of the two.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them kept staring at each other in this environment for nearly a minute.

It was not until a long time later, when Tsunade's face turned a little red, that the two of them looked away.

At this moment, a dark green poisonous gas slowly floated around.

“This guy is serious!”

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke's pupils shrank slightly.

Seeing the dark green poisonous gas, Ryosuke naturally knew where the source of the poisonous fog came from.

... 2.2

Although the previous battle only lasted a few minutes, it aroused Hanzo's desire to win.

He hadn't fought with such a strong man for a long time, and for a moment he felt a little overwhelmed.

Although the two did not use their most powerful means, the intensity of the battle was not low at all.

Ever since Hanzo of the Salamander had the idea of ​​"winning by one point", this thought was like turning on a switch somewhere in Hanzo's heart, and he was unable to bear it for a moment.

Because Ryosuke entered the state of magic mirror simulation, Hanzo's inner fighting spirit could not be vented.

If you want to continue fighting to your heart's content, you have no choice but to force Mizunoe Ryosuke out of his disguise.

Thinking of this, Hanzo pulled off the respirator on his face, exposing his mouth and nose to the air.

Chapter 173, Mutual support and care

Although the sky of the ninja world is vast, this is only true for ninjas from major powers.

For these ninjas from small countries, the bottlenecks of the small countries themselves have limited their space for breakthroughs.

In a small country with limited resources, even if some ninjas show extraordinary talents, they still cannot be well trained.

No one knows how much it cost Hanzo Salamander to get to where he is today.

Looking at the ninja world, there are at least two dozen countries of similar size to the Land of the Rain, but they have only produced one Hanzo of the Salamander.

The Rain Ninjas who are familiar with Hanzo of the Salamander know that the strange device he wears on his mouth and nose is not for the sake of being unique.

Once he takes off the respirator, it will be like pressing the death switch.

The dark green poisonous gas continued to spew out from the mouth and nose of the Salamander Hanzo, and in an instant this horrible poisonous gas had filled the surrounding space.

This dark green poisonous gas comes from the toxin of a highly toxic creature - the salamander.

According to legend, the salamander lives in a swamp deep in the mountains of the Land of Rain.

This swamp was originally unremarkable, but since the arrival of the salamander, the swamp has turned a strange "green".

The mucus secreted from the skin of the salamander alone turned the entire swamp into a lifeless toxic hell.

Due to an accident, the toxin of the salamander flowed down the river to the village of Rain Country at the foot of the mountain.

In just one day, hundreds of people in the village were poisoned to death.

It was this inducement that gave rise to the idea of ​​eliminating this scourge for the Rain Country in the young Hanzo's heart.

In this way, the young Hanzo broke into the swamp deep in the mountains alone and started a fierce battle with the highly poisonous creature, the Salamander.

The toxin of the salamander is as good as its reputation, and Hanzo soon fell into a state of near death due to the deadly toxin.

Hanzo, who was near death, did not retreat, but instead was aroused by the arrogance and bloodiness hidden deep in his heart.

Why should small countries be oppressed by big countries?

Why can't ninjas from small countries reach the top of the ninja world?

He will never die here!

Under the will of terror, he dug open the belly of the salamander and took out the poison sac from its body.

Following the principle of "fighting poison with poison", Hanzo directly cut open his own stomach and injected the venom sac of the salamander into his body.

No one knows what kind of pain he went through, and no one knows how he survived.

When Hanzo appeared in front of people again, he had completely changed.

——He turned into a horrible poisonous man!

With every breath he took, the powerful toxin of the salamander would continue to flow out of his body.

"Hanzo the Salamander" became his new nickname.

In order to prevent the poison from accidentally hurting others, Hanzo put on a special respirator for himself.

Once he takes off the respirator from his mouth and nose, it means that the poisonous hell will once again descend upon the world.

This is also why, when Hanzo gave the order to move aside, all the Rain Ninjas retreated to a distance.

Because they know in their hearts that this horrible poison does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Inside the magic mirror illusion.

The poisonous gas penetrated into the magic mirror's illusion through the cracks in the ice mirror.

The dark green poisonous gas had already floated in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke and Tsunade.

Caught off guard, both of them inhaled a certain amount of poisonous gas.

In an instant, both of them felt dizzy and the reactions of poisoning began to appear on their bodies.

Fortunately, both of them are masters of Yang Dun and have their own ways to eliminate toxins.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have died in an instant from the poison of the salamander.

But this is not a long-term solution. In the long run, even Tsunade and Mizunoe Ryosuke will not be spared.

According to Ryosuke's experience, no matter what kind of toxin it is, it can generally be divided into two categories.

One type is "blood toxins" that act on human blood.

The other type is "neurotoxins" that act on human nerves.

There is no difference in the strength of the two toxins. As long as the concentration is high enough, they can easily cause death.

Based on his own poisoning symptoms, Ryosuke has concluded that the toxin of the salamander is an extremely dangerous neurotoxin!

The accumulation of a large amount of neurotoxins will eventually cause all the nerves in the body to become necrotic! By then, even the gods themselves will be unable to save the person.

Likewise, Tsunade was well aware of this.

You should know that when it comes to Yang escape, especially medical ninjutsu, Tsunade, who specializes in Yang escape, is one level higher than Ryosuke.

Tsunade was filled with anxiety.

Yangtun Ninjutsu is not omnipotent, and breaking the poison often requires additional research and preparation.

As a top medical ninja, Tsunade carried several antidotes with her, but none of them were effective against such a potent neurotoxin.

"How to do?"

Tsunade was a little flustered.

At this moment, ten minutes have passed since Ryosuke and Hanzo of the Salamander fought. It should be the time agreed upon with the Slug Sage.

However, the Slug Sage has not given Tsunade any feedback, which means that it will still take some time for her and Mizunoe Ryosuke to be rescued.

The most urgent task is to prevent the poisoning situation from getting worse.

The poison of the Salamander Hanzo diffuses outward in the form of "poison gas". Reducing the inhalation of poison gas can effectively alleviate the symptoms of poisoning.

Thinking of this, Tsunade no longer hesitated.

She raised her hands, exerted a little force with her arms, held Mizunoe Ryosuke's cheeks and gently turned him in front of her.

"Well!"

In an instant, Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes widened.

He had no time to feel the strange touch, as his sight was completely absorbed in a pair of beautiful green eyes filled with shyness.

When the spring dries up, the fishes are on land, breathing on each other to keep them moist and feeding on each other with their saliva.

Just like fish that have fallen onto the shore, they use their spit to nourish each other.

At this moment, they were also breathing in the oxygen from each other's mouths to avoid further erosion by the poison gas of the Salamander Hanzo.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe a minute, or even a lifetime.

Finally, a gentle female voice sounded in Tsunade's ears.

"Sorry for the wait, Tsuna. I'm ready here."

As the words fell, the two people who were hugging each other tightly disappeared at the same time.

"Peng!"

In the Hanzo residence of Rain Village, due to the traces of reverse summoning, a circle of smoke rose from where the two people were just now.
