This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Orochimaru remained silent. His silence did not mean consent, but rather that he was thinking about how to reject Mizunoe Ryosuke.

.0

Mizunoe Ryosuke knew this very well, and he never thought that he could tame this unruly venomous snake with just a few words. He came here today just to have a brief contact with it.

"Shh!"

"You don't have to refuse. It doesn't hurt to think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry."

Mizunoe Ryosuke raised his hand and threw an ice kunai with a faint scarlet color inside at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru raised his hand to catch the kunai, his eyes flickering.

"When you figure it out, crush this kunai, and someone will come looking for you."

"By the way, take this. I think you'll understand a little bit more about your Reincarnation flaws."

Mizunoe Ryosuke raised his hand again and threw out a scroll, which recorded some basic principles of Yin escape technique and an analysis of the relationship between the soul and Yin attribute chakra.

In the current ninja world, Yin-Yang escape techniques are a secret among every family and village. Even Orochimaru finds it difficult to access a systematic theory of Yin-Yang escape techniques.

However, Orochimaru seemed indifferent to the scroll and watched it fall to the ground indifferently.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head. He knew that this might be due to Orochimaru's inner arrogance.

He might have guessed the contents of the scroll, but he was unwilling to accept gifts from others, especially from someone he had just manipulated.

But Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't care about this, because he knew that Orochimaru was a smart man, and a smart man would naturally know what to do.

"Well then, I look forward to seeing you again next time, Orochimaru-kun."

After saying that, Mizunoe Ryosuke's body slowly faded away in front of Orochimaru's eyes and disappeared in the wind.

This mysterious disappearance, like its sudden appearance before, was unpredictable.

Orochimaru clenched his fists and did not try to chase after Mizunoe Ryosuke. Instead, he fixed his snake eyes on the scroll lying on the charred earth.

Chapter 460, God's Threshold

Night represents mystery and the unknown, as well as danger and haziness.

This is especially true for the Rain Ninjas at this moment.

The plan of surprise attack on Konoha's camp was seen through by Konoha, and Konoha used detonating tags to ambush a wave of Rain Ninjas and surrounded them in the territory of the Land of Fire.

At this moment, Konoha ninjas were everywhere, and the Rain Ninja Army was already surrounded.

Not only that, as the Rain Ninjas retreated in a hurry, a large number of panicked Rain Ninjas left the team and were strangled by the surrounding Konoha Ninjas in the night.

After this battle, it is foreseeable that the Rain Ninjas will suffer heavy losses.

Under such circumstances, the Rain Ninja leader, Hanzo, could only try to gather the scattered Rain Ninja and lead them out as far as possible. He took the initiative and vowed to lead the Rain Ninja to fight their way out.

"Eight One Zero" "Swish!"

In the pitch-black night, a dazzling blade flashed by.

"Pfft!!!"

Then, a flash of blood appeared on the bodies of the two Konoha ninjas who were charging forward with kunai in hand.

The next second, a gushing blood mist rose into the sky!

Secret technique. Iai!

It wasn't over yet, as Hanzo Salamander slashed out with bright silver blade beams one after another.

Within a radius of 100 meters, no Konoha ninja could escape the slashing blow of Hanzo's Iai technique.

As Hanzo raised his sword and slashed, none of the Konoha ninjas in front of him could be his match!

In an instant, all the Konoha ninjas who dared to stand in front of Hanzo were beheaded.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander exudes a powerful and terrifying aura. Just as his nickname says, he has already surpassed the level of ordinary ninjas and reached the threshold of "God".

Seeing the great power of Hanzo of the Salamander, the Rain Ninjas, whose morale had been extremely low, regained a bit of confidence. They followed Hanzo of the Salamander closely and continued to break through in the direction of the Rain Country.

Seeing Hanzo's wanton killing, several Konoha jonin could not sit idly by. They looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes, and stood in front of Hanzo, and then they formed hand seals at the same time.

Fire escape. Great fire-breathing technique!

First, three senior ninjas who were good at using fire escape spit out large amounts of red flames at Hanzo of the Salamander at the same time. With the joint performance of the three, the scale of this fire escape has exceeded the level of senior ninjas.

Wind escape. Big breakthrough!

This is not over yet. The remaining two senior ninjas who are good at using wind escape followed closely and released wind escape at the same time.

The wind fanned the flames, and in an instant the fire escape released by the three people together became even more powerful. For a moment, the raging flames seemed to have swallowed up the Salamander Hanzo at their waist.

With the complementary cooperation of the five jonin, the power of this technique is no less than the fire escape technique released by some quasi-shadow masters.

Facing the raging flames, Hanzo Salamander's expression did not change at all, as if he ignored the danger in front of him.

A few jonin want to stop him? I'm afraid they are not qualified!

Secret technique. The technique of the big mud bomb!

Hanzo of the Salamander formed hand seals at a dazzling speed, then opened his mouth and spit out a huge mud bomb.

Although the combined ninjutsu released by the five jonin was extremely powerful, the terrifying fire was instantly extinguished by the huge mud bomb.

Before the five people could come to their senses.

Secret technique. Instantaneous movement in water!

Hanzo of the Salamander had quietly appeared behind the two Konoha senior ninjas who were good at using wind escape techniques.

"bass!"

Secret technique. Iai!

The blade flashed, and the two men's bodies were separated in an instant.

Fast, too fast!

Hanzo's movements were too terrifying. It was an almost overwhelming suppression that left the others no time to react.

"Kazama! Ryoma!!!"

"hateful!!!"

The remaining three Konoha Jonins were furious, but it was too late to rescue them. They could only shout out the names of their dead comrades weakly and watch the tragedy happen.

Now is not the time to indulge in anger and sorrow, because the danger has not been lifted yet, and Salamander Hanzo will not give these three people time to mourn their comrades.

The sword flashed before the human figure arrived.

Another Iai flashed by, and the dazzling sword light made it difficult for several people to open their eyes.

Hanzo's attack is too fast!

The battle was so fast that the few of them had no chance to react or form hand seals. They could only hastily draw the kunai from their waists and go forward to fight.

"Ding!!!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing was heard, and a trace of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Konoha Jonin, because the indestructible kunai in his hand was actually cut directly in half.

The sharp blade was right in front of him. Seeing that death was imminent, the jonin could only close his eyes in despair...

at this time.

"Ninjutsu. Needle Jizo!"

A voice full of heroic spirit suddenly sounded.

"Dang!!!"

The sound of steel colliding was deafening, and Hanzo's fatal attack was blocked just like that.

The Jonin opened his eyes and saw a young ninja with white hair standing in front of him.

At this time, the white-haired young man's hair grew rapidly, and the long white hair exploded like the spikes of a hedgehog, forming a layer of tight defense all over his body.

It was precisely because of this layer of defense that he was able to block the terrifyingly powerful flying sickle from Hanzo of the Salamander.

Not only that, Jiraiya's white hair also tightly bound Hanzo's sickle, making it impossible for Hanzo to pull the sickle back into his hand.

"Jiraiya-sama!!!"

The Jonin exclaimed, his face full of ecstasy at having survived.

At this moment, neither Hanzo of the Salamander nor Jiraiya paid any attention to the Konoha Jonin's intentions. Their eyes were fixed on each other, and they confronted each other without any retreat.

Seeing this, the three Konoha jonin knew that this was not the time to chat, so they retreated behind Jiraiya and formed a formation to surround Hanzo the Salamander in the middle.

Jiraiya glanced around slightly. The corpses of Konoha ninjas all over the place showed that these Konoha ninjas had all become the souls of the dead under Hanzo's sword.

At that moment, Jiraiya's heart sank slightly.

"Hanzo, stop resisting!"

"Surrender! Stop making meaningless sacrifices!"

Jiraiya spoke slowly, his eyes full of seriousness as he looked at Hanzo of the Salamander.

"laugh!"

Hearing this, Hanzo laughed, with a hint of clear contempt in his laughter.

A mere junior dares to speak so arrogantly in front of him. It seems that he has always been too low-key.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's heart sank again. When he noticed that Hanzo's eyes turned cold, a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

I saw the Salamander Hanzo take a half step back, and then slightly turn the flying sickle in his hand.

"Crash!!!!"

The friction of the iron chains immediately produced countless crisp collision sounds.

"not good!"

Jiraiya just realized that something was wrong, but soon a huge force came from the flying sickle.

Chapter 461: Heroes vs. Demigods

How could someone who is called the pinnacle of the ninja world by Mizunoe Ryosuke be someone who is easy to deal with?

Is it difficult to become a shadow-level strongman?

Of course it is difficult, but there is a way.

Even someone like Might Guy, who had no talent for ninjutsu, could achieve the final outcome with a single kick using only the practice of Taijutsu.

Therefore, no matter which of the three elements of ninja, ninja, tai, or genjutsu, as long as it can be developed to the pinnacle, it can be ranked among the Kage-level strongmen.

For example, many strong men in the Akatsuki organization became Kage-level strongmen by developing one or two of these things. The reason why Uchiha Itachi was known as a genius and was able to successfully challenge opponents of higher levels time and time again.

I have to say that it is actually closely related to Uchiha Itachi's ability structure.

Because it's all about ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, Uchiha Itachi's abilities are all maxed out. Although he still lags behind specialized ninjutsu (for example, Itachi's only proficient in fire escape techniques, and his taijutsu can't compare to Kisame's), Itachi's strength lies in his complete lack of obvious weaknesses.

And in 24, Uchiha Itachi's illusion ability is fully utilized, and he can also restrain some ninjas who are not good at illusion.

For example, Deidara was weak in both physical and illusion techniques, but he was able to reach the level of Kage thanks to the strength of his ninjutsu.

Even so, because he was too "biased", he was killed instantly by Uchiha Itachi's illusion.

Another example is Feiduan. With the blessing of Shishi's blood, Feiduan can only show off his physical skills, and he has no knowledge of ninjutsu or illusion. Even so, he has still reached the level of a Kage-level strongman.

This actually directly illustrates a problem, that is, although the strength of the Kage-level strongman is already enough to surpass most ninjas in the ninja world, he still has extremely obvious shortcomings.

Shikamaru's victory over Hidan is the best example. This proves that even if one's strength is far from reaching the Kage level, as long as one grasps the weaknesses of these Kage-level strongmen, it may not be impossible to defeat the strong with the weak.

So at this moment, can Jiraiya, who is still in the growth stage of his youth, defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, who, in the eyes of Mizunoe Ryosuke, has the strength of a super shadow level "peak of the ninja world"?

Next, Hanzo's actions spoke for themselves.

The answer is - impossible!

Hanzo's weapon is more than just a sickle.

At the tail of the sickle, there is a freely retractable iron chain connected to the handle, which makes the attack range of this flying sickle far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

At this moment, Jiraiya used his hair to entangle the blade of Sansho Hanzo's sickle. This seemed to be a clever move to restrict Sansho Hanzo, but in fact, it was full of loopholes in the eyes of Sansho Hanzo.

Because in this way, Jiraiya is giving Hanzo a chance to wrestle.
