Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"Master Hanzo! They killed Inoue Jounin, we can't let them leave safely!"

"Strange? Why doesn't Hanzo-sama just take care of them?"

"Master Hanzo, why did you let them go!?"

"Is Master Hanzo really old?"

"Chaos, you really don't know what you are talking about! Lord Hanzo is the demigod of the Rain Village, how could he be old? If it weren't for the Great Power, how could Lord Hanzo choose to compromise with the ninjas of Konoha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the Rain Ninjas fell silent.

They have been following Hanzo since seven years ago.

Although this demigod of the ninja world has been staying in the attic to eat, drink and have fun in the past few years, they have always believed that this demigod who has fought for the interests of the Rain Kingdom will one day bring light to the Rain Kingdom.

Just like the Second Ninja World War.

"Master Hanzo! Please avenge your dead companions!"

These sounds penetrated into the ears of the Salamander Hanzo like thunder.

But what was disappointing was that this demigod of the ninja world did not take out the sickle in his hand again. After a few seconds of silence, he repeated what he had just said. This undoubtedly hit the confidence of most of the Rain Ninjas, and some ninjas even threw their kunai on the ground.

Jiraiya looked at the scene in front of him. While he was curious about why Hanzo didn't fight, he couldn't help but be shocked by Seto Chihiro's Wood Release.

The opponent's demigod's strength was proven through fighting, so there was no reason for him to be afraid of the three of them.

And in his opinion, the other party's failure to attack subconsciously meant that he had already seen the horror of Chihiro's Wood Release.

Is this the vision of a demigod?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya looked at Seto Chihiro again.

However, no matter how terrifying Wood Release is, it is because of Chihiro that the alliance between the two countries has become so tense today.

It is not a good thing to have great power but no sympathy for the weak.

It is necessary to talk to Tsunade when we go back. We must not let him follow the same path as Orochimaru.

Just when Jiraiya was about to be thankful that no conflict occurred and was planning to end this mission and secretly investigate the Rain Country.

Seto Chihiro quietly formed seals with her hands.

There was no sign at all. Not only Jiraiya and Kakashi didn't notice it, but even the Rain Ninjas didn't expect that he would dare to cast a hand seal.

At the same time, the wooden dragon moved.

......

Ever since the death of Hashirama Senju, traces of Wood Release have disappeared from the ninja world. Apart from the legends left by Hashirama Senju, no one knows the true power of Wood Release.

Kakakaka——!

The body of the wooden dragon slowly emerged from the vines.

If you look closely, you will find that this wooden dragon is completely transformed from a vine. With a body of hundreds of meters, even if it simply stands still, it can give people a huge pressure. What's more, it is now constantly circling and moving towards the Rain Ninja.

The Salamander had sensed the danger and was retreating. The other Rain Ninjas also began to move back. When they found that their chakra was slowly draining away, they turned around and found that they were already standing on the vines, with no way to retreat...

"Is this Wood Release? It feels like it's completely not on the same level as Tenzang's Wood Release."

Seeing this giant wooden dragon in its complete form, Kakashi was extremely shocked.

As early as three months ago, he knew how terrifying this kid's strength was. Moreover, at that time, because the kid had borrowed the Nine-Tails' Chakra, with the blessing of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, it didn't seem unacceptable for him to use a super-large range of Wood Release.

Although he only knew that this kid had been practicing Wood Release before he left, he had never thought that this kid's Wood Release could reach such a level.

"Jiraiya-sama, we..."

Before Kakashi could finish his words, he noticed that Jiraiya looked exactly like he did just now, looking totally confused.

On the other side, Seto Chihiro looked down at Rain Ninja and others.

"Although the Rain Country leader's use of water-style ninjutsu is not within the scope of my punishment, but..."

【Challenge Mission: Demigod of Ninja World

Mission information: Defeat Salamander Hanzo

Mission Reward: The Art of Instantaneous Movement (Hanzo version of the Salamander)]

Seto Chihiro changed the subject and continued, "Casually framing the Konoha Anbu needs to be punished. Besides... we have other things to do this time. Instead of asking for your assistance then, it would be better to let you help us after a fight..."

From the tone of her voice and the look of confidence that she had on her face, Seto Chihiro seemed to not take the Salamander Hanzo seriously.

This action undoubtedly maximized the anger of the Rain Ninjas. They all clamored for revenge, but no one dared to rush forward. The wood dragon in front of them was even bigger than the Salamander, and it was obvious that it was not easy to provoke.

So he looked at their leader with an urgent look.

"You bastard brat! You are really too arrogant!"

Hanzo looked at the approaching wooden dragon and was so angry that he wanted to curse. He took out the sickle and controlled the salamander to rush forward.

"I never thought about going to war with Konoha. You forced me to do this. Go to hell, kid!"

The salamander seemed to have sensed Hanzo's inner fighting spirit. It roared towards the sky, and as soon as it opened its mouth, it found that the wooden dragon was already close to its face.

There was a muffled bang!

The salamander's mouth, which had just opened, closed again under the impact of the wooden dragon. The purple mist quickly disappeared into the air, and under the huge force, one could even faintly hear the sound of broken bones.

"Ibushi!"

Hanzo felt something was wrong and swung his sickle towards the wooden dragon's body, but could only create a small crack.

"Wow--"

The sturdy body of the Salamander looks much more solid than the narrow body of the Wood Dragon, but who could have imagined that this Salamander is a mage that likes to burrow underground and spit poisonous mist, and has no ability to resist the high-attack, high-defense and renewable Wood Dragon at all.

The short limbs were simply unable to cut through the wooden dragon's body, leaving only a few traces that disappeared in just a few seconds.

The huge mouth was tightly locked by the wooden dragon's tail, and it seemed to have lost the ability to inhale and spit out poisonous mist.

As the wooden dragon entangled it, blood began to seep out of the mouth of the salamander, and its struggle strength began to weaken.

Hanzo retracted his sickle and looked at the attacking Seto Chihiro. He instantly turned into a pool of water and disappeared directly from the back of the salamander. The salamander also turned into a pile of white smoke again and soon disappeared in the rain.

In the distance, Kakashi looked at the disappearing Salamander with a flash of shock in his eyes.

"Is this... Chihiro's victory?"

The changes on the battlefield were too rapid, and Jiraiya only came to his senses after Kakashi finished speaking.

But then a big doubt arose in his mind.

Is this really Hanzo of the Salamander?

Is it really the demigod of the ninja world who rendered the three of them completely powerless back then?

This...why doesn't it look like the same?

Kakashi looked at the Rain Ninja who was surrounded by wooden dragons, and immediately lifted the forehead protector that covered his right eye to observe the situation on the battlefield: "Master Jiraiya, Hanzo has already fled to the southeast, and Chihiro is now using Wood Release to control the Rain Ninja!... Wait a minute, Chihiro is starting to chase Hanzo."

"Oh, this is really troublesome."

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and shook his head helplessly: "At this point, we should go support Chihiro first. The Salamander is just Hanzo's summoning beast, and that guy's teleportation technique is also very terrifying. We should go there quickly."

"Well, Master Jiraiya..."

After saying that, Kakashi grabbed Hydrangea, who was still in a daze, and moved quickly towards the direction where Hanzo of the Salamander had left. His body gradually turned into two afterimages, and he didn't care at all about exposing his body to the drizzle.

From beginning to end, the two of them did not say a word about forming an alliance.

In fact, relative to the two countries, the main task of Kakashi and Jiraiya this time is to investigate Nagato and who established the Akatsuki organization.

The current Konoha cannot be said to have the ability to go to war with other ninja villages at the same time, but it definitely has unparalleled strength. In different periods, Konoha's foreign policy is proportional to its own strength.

At least now, if an incident like the Hidden Cloud Village attacking the Hyuga Hyuga clan occurs, Tsunade will definitely choose to reject the Hidden Cloud Village's request.

......

"Is this the demigod of the ninja world?"

Seto Chihiro looked at the Salamander Hanzo who was very good at the teleportation technique in the distance and frowned slightly.

This speed is simply beyond the reach of a ninja.

Except for not using Flying Thunder God, his speed is almost the same as that of other ninjas.

He wanted to catch up with the other party, but unless he used Flying Thunder God and kept throwing kunai to chase him, there was no way he could catch up by just running on his own two legs.

As for the environment in the Rain Country, there are not even a few decent big trees to be found, and the arc of the big trees is even more unusable.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Seto Chihiro discovered that the Salamander Hanzo had stopped and was standing not far away, looking at him.

"Kid, are you really planning to kill them all? I spared the ninjas of Konoha in the beginning."

Seto Chihiro was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked at the ninja who was known as demigod, and asked a question without thinking.

"Are you scared?"

After all, the other party was old, and White Zetsu 9527 also told him that the old man had lost his fighting spirit.

It is very common to lose the fighting spirit after fighting for half a lifetime.

Chapter 11 Hanzo: Jiraiya, I don’t think you want Danzo to be killed, right?

"Afraid? Maybe."

Salamander Hanzo raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, as if he was lost in memories. In the wind and rain, he gave people a feeling of vicissitudes.

"Konoha's ninja, why don't you help me kill someone!"

Lightning flashed across the dark sky, and his gaze fell on Seto Chihiro. As he uttered this request, he suddenly aged dozens of years and his body began to hunch over.

"As long as Konoha is willing to help me get rid of a ninja named Nagato, I can make the Rain Country a vassal of the Fire Country."

Seto Chihiro hesitated for two seconds and glanced at Hanzo: "I don't like killing people."

"Don't refuse yet."

Salamander Hanzo waved his hand and put the sickle in his hand on his waist: "You are a ninja from Konoha. This time you must have come to fight for the interests of the Land of Fire after becoming the fifth Hokage. Am I right?"

"more or less."

"What benefit could be greater than the Rain Nation becoming a vassal of the Fire Nation?"

Seto Chihiro began to ponder, as if considering the feasibility of this plan. After two seconds, she spoke: "Even if I defeat you, I can still make the Rain Country a vassal of the Fire Country."

Salamander Hanzo seemed to have expected the other party to say this, and laughed twice: "I admit that you are very powerful, but can you make the people of Rain Country accept the fact that Rain Country has become a vassal?"

Before Seto Chihiro could answer, Salamander Hanzo suddenly started talking about his own advantages.

If there were any Rain Ninjas present, they would definitely be shocked by Hanzo's words.

They would never have thought about why the ninja who had fought for the interests of the Rain Country in the past would now betray the Rain Country.

"This country has always been sandwiched between three major powers, and has always lived a precarious life. Coupled with the harsh living environment, few people can die of natural causes. At that time, small countries were all vassals of the major powers, and achieved a prosperous life by selling their own resources..."

"Isn't this not bad? Although I don't have enough strength to change the adverse environment, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely find a chance to turn the situation around, right?"

Seto Chihiro replied and looked behind her.

He found that Jiraiya and Kakashi appeared not far behind him, and at the same time, he felt a stream of chakra leaving from under his feet.

On the other side, Hanzo was confused by Seto Chihiro's words and muttered to himself: "As long as I'm still alive, I have a chance to turn the tables?...It's easy to say!"

"The economy of the Rain Country is entirely dependent on merchants from big countries, and there are no good resources internally... In order to survive, there are many people who sell out their own country and kidnap people. In order to survive in this world, everyone will do whatever it takes! Tell me how a country like this can turn things around!"

How to turn the tables?

Seto Chihiro shook her head and sighed, thinking that although the geographical location of the Rain Country was special, as long as it wanted to survive, it might become an important trade hub among the three major countries.

Living under someone else's roof is certainly disgusting, but if you become a bootlicker of the three major powers, you may be able to become a neutral and peaceful small country like the Iron Country and the Soup Country, and then develop slowly, you may be able to achieve glory.

I have to say that I haven’t read enough books.

Ninjas are so powerful, but they still have to listen to the name of the daimyo. Isn't everything easier when you have money? It's also good to grow up in a shabby way.
