Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Originally, I just wanted to test Hanzo's abilities, but who would have thought that he would develop murderous intent towards me?

A friendly sparring match turned into a fight to the death—where can you find any justice in that?

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to join the fun. I should have stayed in the cave and cooked for Hashirama and Madara.

"I'm sorry, Poison Master. Your existence threatens Amegakure, and I cannot let you leave alive." Hanzo's deep voice came through his mask.

Although this behavior is immoral, it is the only way to do it for the sake of Amegakure.

He will bury Uchiha Renya himself after she dies.

"You want to kill me?" Lian Ye's expression gradually turned cold. "Then we'll see if you, Hanzo the Salamander, have the ability to kill me."

"You'll soon find out whether you're capable or not!"

Before he finished speaking, Hanzo's figure suddenly disappeared, even faster than before!

"Body Flicker Technique?" Ren Ye's Sharingan spun, catching Hanzo's afterimage, but this time the speed was much faster than before.

It seems this guy was clearly holding back in the fight just now.

"Iai·Instant Slash!"

"Qiang——!"

The scythe sliced ​​through the rain, aiming straight for Renya's throat! Renya blocked with her katana, but Hanzo's strength was greater than before, and sparks flew as the blades clashed.

Having failed to land his first attack, Hanzo immediately retreated a distance.

"Your strength has increased?" Hanzo the Salamander squinted. "Looks like you weren't using your full strength just now."

"If this is all the strength you have, you can't kill me." Lian Ye's face remained calm and composed.

From the battle just now, Renya could tell that Hanzo did have some strength, but he was still quite a distance from her own.

According to Renya's speculation, if Hanzo hadn't used the poison of the salamander, his strength would only be slightly greater than Hashirama's.

It's unclear what Madara Uchiha did that prevented Hashirama Senju's physical condition from deteriorating further, but instead caused a slight recovery...

Hanzo the Salamander did not answer, but quickly formed hand seals; he was about to get serious.

"Summoning Jutsu: Salamander!"

"boom!"

A huge plume of white smoke exploded, and a giant salamander, tens of meters long, crashed to the ground, its body emitting a thick purple poisonous mist.

"Poisonous Fog—A Zone of Death!"

The salamander opened its mouth and spewed out a thick purple poisonous mist, instantly covering the entire battlefield! Wherever the poisonous mist reached, even the rainwater was stained dark purple, and a pungent, fishy stench filled the air.

Lian Ye stood in the center of the battlefield, her body shrouded in poisonous mist, yet she was completely unharmed.

"Your poison has no effect on me." Lian Ye smiled.

The antidote he developed easily neutralized the poisonous mist from the salamander, and prevented poisoning for a period of time.

Upon seeing this, Hanzo's breathing became slightly sluggish, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Has his poison really been completely neutralized?!

"Impossible...!" Hanzo roared, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his chakra erupting.

"Poisonous Fog, Bone-Corroding Rain!"

The rain in the sky suddenly turned deep purple under the attack of the poisonous fog, and every drop contained a deadly poison. The poisonous rain poured down.

Lian Ye merely chuckled softly, standing still as the poisonous rain poured down on her.

"I told you, your poison has no effect on me."

Hanzo finally realized that the young man in front of him was not joking, and his poison would have no effect on him.

"Since that's the case..." Hanzo's eyes turned completely cold, "then I'll kill you with pure force!"

No matter what, Uchiha Renya must die here. He must not be allowed to return to Konoha alive, otherwise his advantage in using poison will be completely lost.

Amegakure was no match for Konoha to begin with, and if his poison didn't work, it would be even less likely that he could defeat Konoha.

Only with the death of Uchiha Renya can they have any hope of defeating Konoha!

"Instantaneous Movement Technique: Shadow Flash!"

His figure vanished suddenly, his speed exceeding all limits. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lian Ye, his scythe slashing out without hesitation.

If this attack hits, Lian Ye will be decapitated!

"Why use the same move twice?" Lianye accurately caught Hanzo's attack trajectory and raised her hand to block the scythe with her katana.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"

Hanzo's offensive was like a storm, each strike of his scythe carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Lian Ye was forced to retreat continuously, but her eyes remained calm.

“Your speed is good,” Lian Ye suddenly said, “but it’s not enough.”

As he spoke, he threw three kunai from his waist, which flew toward Hanzo's location with a whooshing sound.

"A mere trick!" Hanzo scoffed, easily dodging the kunai.

"Oh? Then you'd better watch out." Lian Ye's lips curled into a smug smile.

Upon seeing this, Hanzo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared!

"Flying Thunder God - Second Stage!"

Chapter 287 Survive

"Flying Thunder God?!"

Hanzo's expression changed drastically. Wasn't this the signature move of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?

Unexpectedly, his adopted son, Uchiha Renya, actually learned it!

Without giving Hanzo much time to think, the instant Renya disappeared, he instinctively used his scythe to sweep across, preventing a sneak attack from the suddenly appearing Renya.

Unfortunately, his reaction was still too slow.

Just as the scythe was about to strike, Lianye appeared beside him, her katana thrusting straight at his waist.

"Pfft——!"

The sharp blade pierced flesh, and blood splattered!

Hanzo barely managed to dodge the fatal blow, but a wound several tens of centimeters long was still slashed across his abdomen, and blood flowed continuously from the wound.

He roared and swung his elbow at Lian Ye's chest, who was right in front of him.

"boom!"

Lian Ye was forced back several steps, but the smile on her lips deepened.

Hanzo was panting, blood gushing from his wounds, but his eyes grew increasingly fierce. Had he not reacted quickly, both of his kidneys would probably have been pierced through.

"Kid...you've completely enraged me."

He never expected that a mere information gap would put him in such a passive position. If he didn't kill Lian Ye quickly, he would probably die from blood loss.

He didn't notice at all that the blood flowing from his abdomen had changed from red to dark red.

Hanzo, who was about to kill Renya with all his might, suddenly noticed a change in his body.

The cold rain lashed his face, blurring his vision. His fingers, which had been gripping the sickle tightly, suddenly convulsed, and a sharp pain shot through his body from the wound.

"cough……!"

A mouthful of black blood spurted from Hanzo's mouth, splashing onto the muddy ground. His legs suddenly went numb, and his knees slammed heavily into the puddles, splashing up a cloud of murky water.

"I...I've been poisoned..."

He thought that the venom sacs of the salamander implanted in his body would make him immune to most toxins, but he was still poisoned.

Hanzo looked down with difficulty and saw that the wound on his abdomen had turned a strange purplish-black, with toxins spreading under his skin like a spider web.

He tried to form a hand seal, but found that his fingers were completely unresponsive and could only hang limply at his sides.

"boom!"

His heavy body finally gave way, and Hanzo fell forward, his face slamming heavily into the mud. Rainwater mixed with mud filled his nostrils, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

His pupils began to dilate, and all he could hear was the increasingly faint sound of his own heartbeat.

...Is this the end?

He tried to struggle, but his body wouldn't obey him. He could only lie in the cold mud, feeling his life slowly slipping away.

He has not yet led Amegakure to escape the oppression of the great powers, nor has he yet enabled this war-torn country to truly stand up...

I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!

Before the dream could even set sail, it encountered a despairing wave.

The young man's figure gradually approached in his blurred vision, his feet stopping in front of him. Hanzo used the last of his strength to turn his eyes, meeting those indifferent Sharingan eyes.

Lian Ye stood before him, raindrops dripping down her black robes, her voice calm and composed.

"If you don't take the antidote soon, you're doomed."

Lianye's voice seemed to come from a very far place. Hanzo suddenly remembered—before the battle began, he was afraid of killing Lianye, so he threw him a bottle of antidote, but Lianye did not catch it, and instead casually tossed him a bottle of antidote.

He put the bottle of antidote into the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

He desperately tried to raise his hand, but the poison had spread throughout his body, rendering him unable to move even a single finger. Despair washed over him like a tidal wave, and he could only stare intently at the ninja tool pouch at his waist, his eyes filled with resentment.

I never imagined that my story, Hanzo the Salamander... would end in such a way.

Rain streamed down his cheeks, indistinguishable from tears. In these final moments of his life, he saw not a revolving lantern of memories, but the perpetually gloomy sky of Amegakure and the civilians and ninjas who had suffered under the oppression of powerful nations.

At that moment, he regretted having the intention to kill Lian Ye.

If it had just been a simple sparring match, perhaps Uchiha Renya wouldn't have stood by and watched someone die.

That's right, in his eyes, Lian Ye's current behavior is tantamount to letting someone die.

Hanzo's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if he might die at any moment.

"Sorry, I forgot you were poisoned."

Lianye was wondering why Hanzang wouldn't take the antidote. Only when she saw Hanzang's miserable state did she realize that he had been poisoned and had completely lost his ability to move.

He crouched down, took out an antidote from his ninja tool pouch, pried open Hanzo's mouth, and forced it in.

Although Hanzo wanted to kill him, it was ultimately his fault that caused it. He couldn't just stand by and watch him die, could he?

Moreover, whether Hanzo can be saved is another matter entirely.

He has done his best to make amends, as for Hanzo, it's up to fate.

"Swallow it."

The pill melted instantly in his mouth, its bitter taste spreading throughout his palate. Hanzo's pupils constricted as he looked at Renya in disbelief.

"Ho ho ho..."

He wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

"You want to ask me why I saved you?" Lian Ye stood up, her tone indifferent.

"Don't be too happy yet. The best time to detoxify my poison is within thirty seconds. The poison has already penetrated deep into your internal organs. Whether you survive depends on how tough your life is."

Hanzo opened his mouth, staring blankly at Renya.

What he actually wanted to say was—

If you wanted to save yourself, why didn't you give him the antidote sooner?

If Lianye had given him the antidote beforehand, this wouldn't have happened.

"Well--!"

Hanzo arched his back, coughing up a mouthful of black blood, his consciousness beginning to fade. In his last vision, he saw Renya's retreating figure and the black cat crouching on the ruins, its golden eyes coldly watching him in the rain.

Seeing Lian Ye leave, the black cat quickly followed.
