Chapter 174 Rain of Blood (3)

  The surrounding air was very cold, and the sound of rain echoed in my ears.

  The panicked cries that came from all around did not cause any ripples in Hanzo's heart.

  The sickle held tightly in the hand cuts the enemy's body, as if tireless.

   Sand hidden ninja felt fear from the bottom of his heart, the air-conditioning swished angry from behind, drilled into the spine, and couldn't help shivering.

   Rolling their throats, their eyes scanned the surroundings seriously, trying to find Hanzo's figure, but they often heard the sound of the wind approaching, and their lives were ended without knowing it.

  The feet stepped on the water surface to form ripples, and then disappeared in an instant.

   Shuttle through the rain of arrows arranged by kunai and shuriken, dodge, body spin, sickle swaying blood.

   This is just the sword technique, the instant body technique, and the simple crushing of experience.

  Every second that passes, a sand ninja will fall down, dyeing the canals on the ground red.

   Can't see the moving track of the opponent's figure at all.

   Even if you see it, your body may not be able to react.

   By the time he reacted, the sickle, which meant death, had already been ruthlessly swung down.

  Compared to a ninja, the Hanzo at this moment is more like a cold-blooded machine that only knows fighting and killing.

   There is no trace of a human being on him.

   That is the evil spirit that crawled out from the depths of hell.

  The ninjas he targeted were all stiffened, overwhelmed by his aura, and frightened.

   With only one person, ten people, or a hundred people, it is impossible to stop the man in front of him.

  The sand ninjas are very clear about this.

  But they still stood up bravely and used their own flesh and blood to build a solid wall for their companions, just to create a space for their companions to attack the enemy.

  Because they have not just one hundred ninjas here, but at least three thousand ninjas.

   Use 1,000 ninjas to contain 1,000 Ukakushi ninjas, and then 2,000 ninjas besiege the seriously injured Hanzo.

   This is already the highest respect that can be expressed to the other party.

   Taijutsu and sword ninjas come first, and long-distance ninjas follow.

  Unknowingly, the sand hidden ninjas formed such an offensive and defensive posture.

  Ninjas who are proficient in physical and sword techniques can hold Hanzo in close combat, while the long-range ninja ninjas behind must watch the timing and release ninjutsu to hit Hanzo.

  Even if the other party is a demigod, after all, he is already an old man who can retire.

  Before he was stabbed, it can be said that he was fighting under overload.

  The fierce and brave posture at the moment is nothing more than a cornered beast, but in fact, it is already quite weak in essence.

  So although the sand hidden sand ninjas are afraid of Hanzo's power, they still fight hard. As long as the opponent is weak, they can pick the fruits of victory.

   "Thunder Escape·False Darkness!"

  A real ninja should be unknown and unobtrusive.

   At the most appropriate time, give the enemy a killing blow.

   This is a truth that Kakudo has lived his whole life and has always understood, and it should be a truth that every ninja must understand.

  The more famous you are, the more burden and drag you have.

  The God of Ninja back then was like this.

  The same is true for the current ninja demigods.

  Names bring trouble, and endless assassinations.

   It's just that sometimes, you have to do something that attracts attention.

   After all, this is a corpse worth 100 million taels. If you can successfully get this corpse, you can more or less make up for the vacancy in your heart.

   Jiaodu is full of desire for money and greed.

   What was flying in the sky was a pitch-black alien creature. In the eyes of others, it should be some kind of special psychic beast.

   Wearing a mask engraved with thunder patterns on his face, he spit out a sharp lightning strike from his mouth, quickly penetrated the air, and hit Hanzo's body with great precision.

  Hanzo, who was fighting the sand hidden ninja, suddenly froze and let out a painful murmur. The clothes on his back were shattered by lightning, revealing his back full of scars.

  Hanzo rolled on the ground in embarrassment, and Kakuzu's sudden attack made him unable to react.

  The opponent is aiming at his blind spot.

  The attack was decisive and ruthless, without any hesitation.

  Kunai and Shuriken fell from the sky.

  Hanzo slapped the ground with his palm.

   A wall of water was erected in front of him, and Kunai and shuriken were all bounced away in an instant.

  Hanzo jumped back again, the fabric of his trouser legs was stained red, and two shurikens failed to be blocked by the water wall, and stuck in the flesh and blood of his thigh.

   "Reaction and resistance to blows have declined, this old thing is much weaker than before..."

   Jiaodu whispered something.

  If it was Hanzo ten years ago, he wouldn't dare to provoke him.

  But no matter how powerful a ninja is, they cannot resist the erosion of time.

   Especially ninjas like Hanzo who spent the first half of their lives fighting **** battles. Young and middle-aged have fought countless times, leaving countless hidden wounds on their bodies. After old age, their strength declines. It is only natural that they are more powerful than ordinary ninjas.

   Therefore, it is very necessary for Kakuzu to dispose of Hanzo's corpse before it depreciates in value.

  However, this is Shayin's home field, and while assisting, it should not reveal too much ability.

   Now it is a cooperative relationship. Hanzo is dead, and when it comes time to divide the body, they may not be partners on the same boat.

   It is necessary to ensure the victory of Yinsha, but also make it difficult for them to win. It is best to win with heavy casualties.

   "That guy should be careful too."

  Chiyo noticed Kakuzu, and with her eyesight, she naturally saw some of Kakutsu's thoughts.

  Although it was a bounty hunter introduced by Iwagakushi, Chiyo didn't expect such a guy to fight to the death for Sagakure.

   After all, Sand Yin and Yan Yin are different, and they will not give trust to such bounty hunters who are included in the defection list.

   Quietly let a few jounin lurk in the past. It is best that both parties are safe and sound. If you want to get Hanzo's body to exchange for money, then don't blame Sakakushi for taking care of him too.

  Because one puppet was destroyed by Hanzo before, now Chiyo only has nine puppets left to control.

  However, Chiyo was not in a hurry to win. The target shifted from Hanzo, and his eyes turned coldly to the Amane ninjas outside Hanzo, with a strong murderous intent.

  Different from Hanzo, this group of Ukakushi ninjas are very weak in combat effectiveness. First, wipe out these Ukakushi ninjas, then free up manpower, and finally solve the biggest trouble of Hanzo.

  Thus, Chiyo's fingers moved flexibly, and Jiutai's puppet in a large white robe escaped from the constraints of gravity, and his feet flew off the ground like lightning towards the Amagakure ninja in the crowd, spreading his killing fangs.

  The thunder is still ringing, and the lightning is moving in the dark clouds.

  The ground was filled with the sound of being slaughtered, and even with the washing of rain, there was still a very strong smell of blood.

  The number of Yuyin ninjas has decreased sharply. No matter how hard they fight, the comprehensive strength of the ninjas is here, and the number is completely crushed. This is not an equal battle.

  Every time Shayin dies, Yuyin will die three, four, or even five.

   Some of the Yuyin ninjas cried, and some relied on shouting to dispel the fear of death, but none of them escaped, because if they escaped, they would die, so they might as well give it a go. As a hero who fought for the village and the country, he died in the line of duty.

   His face was stained with blood, he was running on the battlefield, and then he was stabbed by Kunai, his body was cut open by the sharp blade held by the puppet, he was swallowed by the fire caused by the detonating talisman, and he was cut by Feng Dun.

  Heavy rain mercilessly hit everyone, as well as the atrium.

  Sanjiao Uibushiya was besieged by a large number of sand hidden ninjas, and his body was covered in blood, including enemies and his own.

  The tail was cut off by someone, and highly poisonous blood continued to flow out.

  The quantity is too much.

  Even the fast-moving salamanders couldn't escape all these attacks.

  Hanzo had no time to think about other things, and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

   "Water Escape·Rain Shotgun!"

  The raindrops that landed around Hanzo suddenly stagnated in the air, then turned around and flew towards the surrounding sand ninjas.

   The sound of whirring whirring is endless.

  The inconspicuous raindrops hit the body, directly sinking into the flesh and blood of the ninja, and in a blink of an eye, countless blood holes appeared on the bodies of more than a dozen sand ninjas at the forefront, and they fell to the ground and died.

  The sand hidden ninja farther away was also affected, but because part of the body was hit, it was only injured, not directly killed.

   "Ahem."

  Hanzo coughed, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

   It seems that he has the advantage on the battlefield, but his physical strength is gradually exhausted, and the wounds in his body are cracked again, and there are signs of expanding. This reality gradually reminds Hanzo that he is already approaching the end of death.

   "Hanzo is dying, don't let him catch his breath!"

  Seeing Hanzo suddenly coughing and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Sagakushi Jōnin, who was in charge of the command, knew that Hanzo's body was gradually deteriorating, otherwise it would have been impossible to miss such a good opportunity to pursue the victory.

  Thus, the sand hermit ninjas were so imposing that they seized this opportunity without mercy and launched an attack brazenly.

  Hanzo looked up and saw the water bomb that was as hard as steel, the hurricane filled with chakra that had the ability to cut objects, the kunai with detonating charms tied to it, and the kunai with chakra attributes, all flying towards him.

  With my current body, it is a little bit reluctant to escape with the instant body technique.

  Hanzo had no choice but to form a mudra with one hand.

"Water escape-"

   "Shenluo Tianzheng!"

  The voice suddenly appeared, and Hanzo's eyes suddenly widened.

   This voice...is that boy named Nagato, who has the eyes of reincarnation.

  I saw that all the special kills that the sand hidden ninjas were proud of stopped in front of him, as if time and space had stopped.

  Afterwards, a stronger repulsive force was emitted, and the screams of the sand hidden ninjas immediately sounded.

  The water bomb and the hurricane flew back, and the kunai with the detonating talisman exploded among the sand hidden ninjas, causing their formation to be in chaos, and some of their bodies were covered in blood before they could dodge in time.

  A large number of kunai attached to chakra also returned the same way, cutting through the body of the sand ninja.

  The kills they released all became weapons to kill their own people.

   This scene surprised the sand hidden ninjas.

  When will there be such a master ninja besides Hanzo in Yuyin?

  I saw that around Hanzo, there appeared Amane ninjas with different costumes from ordinary Amane ninjas.

  They were uniformly wearing pure black overcoats, none of them were very old, no more than twenty years old, there were men and women, and the leader was Yahiko.

   "Master Hanzo, are you alright?"

  Nagato stood beside Hanzo, and asked worriedly.

   "Nagato, you shouldn't be here..."

   Hanzo understood the ideals of these young men who loved peace.

   But that's just an ideal after all.

   Appearing on the battlefield at this time, apart from sacrificing your precious life in vain, you will get nothing else.

  Nagato was about to say something, but Yahiko, who was standing on the field between Hanzo and Sand Ginger Ninja, had already spoken to the Sand Gingers with a solemn face:

   "Please stop the meaningless fighting! I am Yahiko of Yuyin, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. I sincerely hope that Shayin can hold peace talks with us, Yuyin, and stop adding unnecessary killings and sacrifices. Putting all disputes on the table for negotiation is beneficial to both of us. This is the purpose of my coming here!"

  His voice was honest and earnest, not joking.

  Let people know that he thinks this way seriously.

   It's just his serious attitude, but the sand hidden ninjas looked at each other, with hesitation and confusion in their eyes.

  Wait, what is this Yuyin boy... talking about?

   Peace talks?

   Have peace talks with them?

   Is this a new popular joke in Yuyin Village?

   Seeing every sand ninja looking at him with strange expressions, Yahiko's heart tightened, did he say something wrong?

  Why do you look at him like this?

  He felt that what he said made sense, because his teacher, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, taught him this way.

  I believe that people will usher in a day of understanding.

   Therefore, he has to become a bridge of mutual understanding between people, in order to unravel the fate of war curse that hangs over the ninja world.

  For this reason, he came here regardless of the danger of his life, expressing his determination and belief to everyone here.

However-

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

   I don't know which sand hidden ninja laughed first.

   Afterwards, more sand hidden ninjas laughed.

   Laughing ferociously, laughing crazily, almost to the point of tears.

   "What is this kid talking about? Peace talks? Peace talks now? What did you do before? Yes, if you kneel down, we can put down our weapons and talk to you."

  A sand ninja came out with a mocking expression on his face, but there was a hint of venom in his eyes.

   When this kid knelt down, give him a knife! The sand hidden ninjas also thought so in their hearts.

"I…"

  Yahiko opened his mouth, but did not immediately agree.

   "What are you hesitating about? Since you want peace talks, don't you have any sincerity? If you don't have enough sincerity, we won't accept the peace talks. Kneel down now."

   Sand hidden ninja command.

   "If I kneel down, are you really willing to make peace?"

   "Of course. Our big country also needs face."

  After hearing this, Yahiko began to think seriously.

  If this is the case, although it is a loss of face, if it can become a bridge of understanding between people, this is the only chance.

  In order to prevent this country from sacrificing, so that people will no longer fight and kill, more people will be displaced.

  Whether it’s true or not, it’s worth a shot.

  So, he took a deep breath and began to bend his knees under the gaze of everyone.

  Xiao’s people couldn’t bear it when they saw it, and felt that Sha Yin seemed a bit too much, but they could only watch this scene angrily.

  Because they all believe in Yahiko, they can change this war world full of hatred and curses with the idea of ​​loving peace.

  Hanzo closed his eyes and sighed silently.

  The sand ninjas watched Yahiko's movements, and many of them showed surprise. They didn't expect that the rain ninja would kneel down in front of them so simply. They thought he would hesitate a bit.

   Kneeling on the cold ground, Yahiko also felt a sense of humiliation, but for the sake of the peace of this country, if he just knelt down and begged, then such a sacrifice was totally worth it.

  As long as war can be eradicated and peace will come to this country, Yahiko is mentally prepared for this even if he cannot afford to kneel here forever.

   "Now you can..."

  Yahiko let out a breath, and was about to raise his head, what caught his eyes was a ninja sword that was rapidly enlarged.

  Pfft!

  Blood sprayed on Yahiko's face.

  Yahiko was stunned.

  The sand hidden ninja who attacked Yahiko was also stunned.

  The blade pierced Hanzo's abdomen. Without frowning, Hanzo turned the sickle in his right hand and swung it down sharply at the sand ninja in front of him.

   Suddenly, a big **** was opened in the body of Sand Yin Ninja, and the blood rain splashed, making him fall unwillingly.

   "Han-Hanzo-sama?"

  Yahiko stared blankly at the scene in front of him, seemingly unable to react from the upheaval just now.

   "Boy, stop making such cowardly gestures."

  Hanzo looked back at Yahiko deeply, and said these words.

  Hanzo, who has gone through three ninja wars, has long given up hope for peace.

  Because in this world... there is no peace at all, only the weak and the strong!

   Weak people will be bullied.

  Weakness is not a reason to win the sympathy of the enemy, what you will get is ridicule and violent abuse from the enemy.

  This is the reality of the ninja world.

  The strong live and the weak die.

   "Yahiko!"

  Nagato, Konan and others surrounded Yahiko, also showing expressions of grief and indignation.

  Why don't these sand ninjas listen to their ideas?

  Killing and war are not acts of justice.

  You must know that in all previous ninja wars, it was the Land of Rain, a small country, that bore the pain every time.

  Why is their suffering never considered?

  Nagato was also a little angry, but when he saw Yahiko, who was kneeling down and begging for peace talks, the sand hidden ninja wanted to kill him ruthlessly, he began to feel suspicious.

   Is what Jiraiya-sensei said really correct?

   Can people really understand each other?

   No, it should be asked like this, even if we understand each other, can we really solve the dispute?

  Looking at the ferocious, bloodthirsty and crazy Sagan ninja, Nagato fell into such a confusion.

  I thought of the people in the Land of Rain who were forced to separate from their wives, homeless vagabonds, and villages that were reduced to ruins.

  But this is not the time to think about these things. The murderous sand ninjas around them may attack again at any time.

  This time, it's not just Hanzo, Akatsuki and the others will also be the targets of Sand Yin's hunt.

   "Don't try to use your own weakness to awaken the enemy's conscience. As the people of a weak country, we have nothing left but resistance and fighting."

  The sound is not loud, but it is extremely powerful to everyone's ears.

  Especially Nagato, he always felt that Hanzo was saying this to him.

  Obviously they were standing very close, but Nagato felt that where Hanzo was standing was another world.

   "Let's go, go and find your future. As the leader of Yuyin, this old man can't escape the battle and take everyone out of here. As long as you live, there is still hope. If you die, there will be nothing left."

   Hanzo moved forward slowly step by step, whispering in a low voice.

   It seems to be talking to Xiao's people, and it seems to be talking to himself.

  The sand hidden ninjas hesitated to step forward, because they felt an unprecedented sense of danger from Hanzo.

  The beasts on the verge of death are the most dangerous.

  In their eyes, Hanzo undoubtedly reached this level of dangerous existence.

  With a blank expression, Hanzo pulled out the blade inserted into the abdomen, and let the blood flow out.

   Looking directly at the thousands of sand ninjas with calm eyes, these people who call themselves big country ninjas still have the so-called arrogance until now.

   That’s right, this world is a world where the weak prey on the strong.

  Being corrupted by the title of demigod and the so-called power, he even forgot what he trusted most in the past—power.

   "The old man now will no longer have regrets and hesitation."

  Yes, no regrets, and no hesitation.

  So, it's great to see you again at the end, Nagato. Hanzo thought so in his heart.

  Using this battle, and Yahiko's cowardly compromise, open the eyes of reincarnation and truly see the true face of this world.

  This is also the reason why Yahiko did not stop Yahiko from kneeling to Sand Gakure just now.

  From now on, Akatsuki's dream is shattered.

   It's time to wake up from the innocent dream and face this **** world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong.

  Fingers reach for the collar and tear off hard.

  The ninja suit on the upper body is gone with the wind.

   That is a sturdy body that has gone through countless trials.

  Countless sword wounds and sword marks, like medals, are gloriously engraved on the body.

  It symbolizes the 'history' of fighting countless powerful enemies in the past.

  It was raining, and the atmosphere was depressing and dull.

  The aura on Hanzo's body became more and more dangerous, sublimating to a certain critical point.

   "This is the last carnival."

  Hanzo began to form seals, which was enough to suppress the breathless Chakra, turning into a torrent and erupting from the body.

   "Water Dungeon Prison Dragon Haoliu!"

   "Whoa! What's this?"

   "Cheat, lie, right? Why do you still have such power?"

   "Damn it!"

   There was the panicked voice of the sand hidden ninja.

   Earth floats.

   To be more precise, the earth was swallowed by tsunami-like waves.

   Then the water flow began to roll back towards the sky, and the sky and the earth seemed to be upside down, giving people a dreamy sense of dislocation.

  In this dreamlike landscape, there is a terrifying murderous intent hidden.

   The waterspout rolled up towards the sky, lit up with scarlet blood, tearing open the giant mouth and roaring.

   It was a water dragon tens of meters long.

  Different from the water dragon produced by the water dragon ballistic technique, this water dragon is larger in size and its color is not colorless and transparent. In the body of the water dragon, there is a large amount of black material spreading, making the body of the water dragon start to turn black.

   On the surface of the water dragon, strange and inexplicable black bubbles also appeared.

  Black, black dragon? Sand hidden ninja instinctively felt that something was wrong with this black water dragon.

  Dye the black substance of the black water dragon, with a strong breath of death.

  However, their hesitation did not stay for long, and their eyes became firm, and they attacked Hanzo.

  That black dragon doesn't look good, so just attack Hanzo himself.

  As long as the operator is killed, the ninjutsu will be automatically released. This is the common sense of ninjutsu in the ninja world.

   "Let's go!"

   Aware of Hanzo's determination to die, Nagato also knew that staying here was a very dangerous thing.

  Because the sand hidden ninjas are not only focusing on Hanzo, but also focusing on them.

  The peace talks undoubtedly failed.

  Yahiko's path is not desirable.

   Coming here is undoubtedly a wrong decision.

   "Shenluo Tianzheng!"

  The expressions of the dozen or so Shayin ninjas rushing forward suddenly changed dramatically. Before they could react, their heads were buzzing, their bodies were pushed out by a huge force, and they rolled awkwardly on the ground, as if their internal organs were about to be displaced.

   "Yahiko, stop thinking about it, let's go!"

  Xiaonan and the others also realized how dangerous their situation was at the moment, and pulled Yahiko who was still asking himself 'Why did it become like this', and began to retreat.

  Akatsuki's strengths vary, Nagato is undoubtedly the strongest, but apart from Nagato, only Konan and Yahiko have the strength of jounin.

  In this kind of battlefield where even a Junin might die easily, it is a very scary thing to be stuck by Sand Yin's troops.

   It should be fortunate that most of the sand hidden ninjas are focused on Hanzo, otherwise all of them would have no possibility of surviving.

  Nagato looked at Hanzo who was surrounded by a large number of sand hidden ninjas, the old figure standing firmly in the heavy rain, tall and straight and tragic.

   Gritting his teeth, he still held back his sadness, and followed Yahiko and others to evacuate.

  Ninjas who are stronger than Hanzo also fight with the determination to die.

  With the eyes of reincarnation, he still has many immature places. It is impossible for him to survive being besieged by a large number of enemies.

  Running towards the outer perimeter of the Sagakure encirclement, there were corpses along the way, all of the Sagakushi ninjas that Hanzo had killed before, roughly counting them, there were hundreds of them.

  The sand hidden ninjas are chasing after them. Although most of the ninjas are concentrated at Hanzo, there are more than 200 chasing ninjas assigned to their side, led by several jouninjas.

  ◎

   Corpse, corpse, corpse.

  There are dead bodies everywhere.

  A corpse with black bubbles.

  It was some kind of deadly poison.

  On the dead body, the expression is not serene, only twisted and painful struggles, and the twists become rigid.

  The water escape creature that looks like a black dragon is Hanzo's last esoteric ninjutsu.

  Generally speaking, the water dragon created by the water tunnel will turn into water and dissipate after another impact.

  Then this black water dragon carrying deadly poison all over its body completely violated the common sense of ninjutsu, as if it had become a living dragon, with the ability to move freely.

  The black water dragon slid forward, and the sand hidden ninjas who were about to form seals to resist were scattered away in an instant.

  The parts of their bodies that were in contact with the black dragon immediately swelled with black blisters, and a large number of sand hermit ninjas howled in pain on the ground, twisting their bodies and roaring at the top of their lungs.

  Even the experienced ninja couldn't help shivering.

  Looking at the black dragon's eyes, it was full of thick horror.

   Touch to die.

  Even the antidote they carried could not resist this weird poison.

  The sand hidden ninjas blocking in front of the black dragon will spurt blood and fly backwards without exception, and will be killed by the black virus in extreme pain.

  The power of the black dragon gliding shook the earth, and the dark clouds gathered in the sky formed a vortex in the sky with thunder and lightning.

  Although he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, the panic still showed on his face.

  Because I know this is an unequal battle at all.

  No matter what kind of ninjutsu or detonating talisman, hitting the poisonous black dragon can't damage it at all.

  Although it is not a tailed beast, it is better than a tailed beast.

   Can't get close to the black dragon, it will be highly poisonous and corroded.

   Such tricks are almost impossible to solve.

   "The body is almost at its limit, Nagato and the others should escape..."

  Looking at the black poisonous dragon raging on the battlefield, Hanzo coughed softly, his voice getting older, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and he clenched the sickle tightly in his hand.

  Before you die, you must get rid of the biggest threat in the hidden sand.

  Thus, Hanzo jumped out, facing the icy wind and rain, the color in his eyes was as cold as the rain.

   "How is it possible, the antidote I made..."

  Chiyo watched a Sagakushi Jōnin die in agony in front of her eyes. The antidote she made to deal with the Hanzo Poison Technique didn't work at all.

  How is this possible? On the battlefield in the past, she had already deciphered all the poisons that Hanzo carried.

   There is no possibility of omission.

  Why can't the poison carried by the black dragon be deciphered now?

   "What ninjutsu does Hanzo use...?"

   Chiyo is puzzled.

  The water dragon made with ninjutsu is preserved like a living body and can continue to fight.

   And the body of the water dragon is covered with deadly unknown poison.

   When fighting her in the past, did you hide such a vicious ninjutsu that you never used?

   "Master Chiyo, be careful!"

   There was an anxious shout from Sand Yin Ninja in his ear.

   Chiyo, who was immersed in thinking about how to crack Hanzo's nirvana, sensed the approaching danger, panicked, subconsciously shifted his body, pulled his fingers, and the nine puppets started to work together.

  Pfft!

  Pfft!

  Pfft!

  The sharp blade kept entering the body, piercing through Hanzo's chest, and the puppet wearing a white robe pierced the blade completely into Hanzo's body, robbing his few life force.

   With a bang, the sickle fell out of his hand weakly and fell to the rain-beaten ground.

  Hanzo's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Chiyo with a little regret.

   It was almost there.

  Everything happened so fast that Chiyo couldn't react.

   When she reacted, an arm disappeared, and a lot of blood splashed out.

"ah!"

  Chiyo clutched the bleeding wound on the severed arm, and the pain of the severed arm made her cry out.

   "Hanzo, you bastard, how dare you—"

   Chiyo gritted her teeth and stared at Hanzo, the pain of losing her arm made her brows twitch.

   "It's a pity, I am really old. If it was ten years ago, I would definitely not miss it..."

  Hanzo sounded regretful.

   After all, he can only do so much now.

  This old body can only dissipate this bit of residual heat,

  This is reality.

  He is the loser.

  But the legend of the demigods... seems to be unnecessary.

  This is the way the world is, the winner dominates everything, and the loser loses everything.

  Name, honor, life, dignity, everything will be taken away.

   Long light yellow hair was scattered in front of him, blood dripped from his forehead, gathered on his chin, mixed with rainwater and dripped to the ground.

   "Ninjas are worthless except for fighting. The rest of my life is full of regrets... Well, forget it, old woman, I will take a step first, waiting for you below..."

  The world in front of him turned gray, Hanzo's eyes gradually lost their color, and with a free and easy smile, he died of exhaustion.

  Looking at Hanzo's corpse that was starting to turn cold, Chiyo took a heavy breath and was almost killed.

   "This old guy's teleportation technique is still so fast...but in this way, the technique will just..."

  However, to Chiyo's surprise, the black dragon did not disappear because of Hanzo's death. Instead, it began to lose control like a beast that had lost its restraint and fell into a rampant killing.

   "Wait, why hasn't the spell been unlocked yet?"

  Chiyo's complexion changed drastically, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

   "Could it be that this black dragon absorbs the vitality of the practitioner and grows—damn it! This old man with the vent tube still has such a spell!"

   Only in this way can it be explained clearly why the black dragon can maintain its form and continue to fight after Hanzo is dead.

  I'm afraid that before the vitality and chakra in the black dragon's body dissipate, it will keep attacking the surrounding living beings.

   Or until all the living people within a certain range die.

   "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

  Chiyo couldn't care about the pain of a broken arm, so it didn't make much sense to stay and deal with the black dragon.

  As long as they go back and analyze Hanzo's body, this ninjutsu will also become their sand hidden thing.

  Including the unknown deadly poison.

  Thinking of this, even if you accidentally break your arm, it is not so difficult to accept.

  A figure rushed out from the soil at this moment, its arms dyed black were harder than steel, and directly smashed two puppet puppets in white robes with rough methods.

   Then he grabbed Hanzo's corpse with a very skillful technique, and stabbed at the weakest place in the sand hidden circle at an extremely fast speed.

   This person is Kadotsu.

  He has been looking for an opportunity to steal Hanzo's body, and get rid of the sand hidden jonin who are monitoring him, and now he finally got his wish.

   "I will accept the corpse worth 100 million taels without hesitation."

  A black creature was flying in the sky, continuously spraying lightning from its mouth, opening the way for Jiaodu in front.

   After getting the corpse worth 100 million taels, when running away, Jiaodu was also in a happy mood.

   "Stop him!"

  Seeing this scene, Chiyo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

  The sand hidden ninjas around also reacted and chased after Kakuzu.

  The spoils they had so hard to obtain, how could they be easily taken away by others?

  If this is the case, their concealment is not just a simple matter of losing face.

  Part of them went to chase Kakuto, and Chiyo also deployed personnel to retreat.

  The black dragon is clearly out of control, and waiting for it to self-destruct is the best choice.

   Even so, when fleeing, dozens of ninjas were accidentally attacked by the black dragon and died.

   "The old man with the snorkel, died and left this big trouble..."

  She suspected that Hanzo's sneak attack on her was because her vitality was about to be absorbed and exhausted by the black dragon, and she wanted to die with her before she died.

   Just as he was retreating from the battlefield, a sand hidden ninja ran over in a hurry.

   "Master Chiyo!"

"What's up?"

  Chiyo remembers this sand hidden ninja, who is one of the sensing ninjas of the sand hidden troops that ambushed Konoha.

  In order to divide Konoha and Uinaka, this time, she invested a total of nearly 6,000 ninjas.

   There are about 3,500 ninjas besieging Ugakure, and there are more than 2,000 ninjas who restrain Konoha and prevent Konoha from supporting Ugakure's main force.

   "Master Ebizo and Shinobu Rasagami tell Chiyo-sama to hurry back to the camp as soon as possible!"

"What's wrong?"

   "We didn't encounter Konoha troops."

"What!"

  Chiyo's volume suddenly increased, and her face suddenly turned pale.

   Did not encounter Konoha troops! ?

How can this be?

Could it be that-

   "Damn Orochimaru!"

   Chiyo understood, her expression was gloomy, and her eyes were burning with anger.

   Was tricked.

   Not only Sain, but also Hanzo.

   All were fooled by Orochimaru.

  That guy planned to treat Hanzo as a sacrificial child from the very beginning, and he would lose both sides in a fight with Sand Yin.

  In order to be safe, I brought a total of 6,000 ninjas this time, and there are only 1,000 sand hidden ninjas guarding the camp. If Orochimaru leads Konoha's large army to attack there at this time...

  Chiyo couldn't imagine it anymore.

   There, there are all the materials that Sayin has collected over the years.

   In this battle, Sayin is not the biggest winner, but Konoha is the biggest winner.

  ◎

   "Those people are Akatsuki."

  Behind a rock is a middle-aged ninja wearing a rain shield.

   This person is Kanzang who betrayed Hanzo.

   Seeing the Akatsuki people who were fighting the sand hidden ninja in the distance, they frowned.

  He hid here to prevent Hanzo from finding him and killing him desperately, and also to monitor the surrounding situation.

   "If they escape, it may not be good for me to rule Yuyin in the future."

  Although Akatsuki's power is unremarkable among the high-level people, she has quite a reputation at the bottom of Yuyin Village.

   Such an existence will definitely hinder Yuyin after his rule.

   It would be great if Sain could kill them all.

  However, this kind of thinking is too natural, because under the pursuit of more than two hundred sand hidden ninjas, Nagato and Konan died at the end, and the rest of the members led Yahiko to escape from the sand hidden circle at a very fast speed.

   "That red-haired kid is amazing, who the **** is he?"

  Kanzang couldn't help being amazed.

  He thought that the ninjas in Akatsuki were just some second- and third-rate ninjas, but he didn't expect that there would be such ninjas in it.

  Although Xiaonan's strength is also good, he can deal with more than a dozen sand hidden ninjas, but compared with Nagato's ability to knock out more than a dozen ninjas, there is a very big gap.

   "No, this red-haired kid must die! If he doesn't die, he may threaten my position as the leader of Yuyin!"

  Kanzang's face was cloudy, and his figure disappeared behind the rock.

   "Xiao Nan, let's go!"

  Using Shenluo Tianzheng to repel the last batch of Sand Hidden Squad, Nagato also took a breath, and called out to Xiaonan beside him.

  Konan didn't hesitate, and ran away with Nagato.

  These sand hidden ninjas are quite powerful, even if Nagato can deal with them, they are relatively reluctant.

  Although his Shenluo Tianzheng can bounce off the enemy's attack and body in all directions, the power of the fluctuation is not enough to be fatal.

   Facing the fearless Sagan ninja, Nagato also felt the strength of the ninja of a great country.

  The willpower and physical fitness they have cultivated as ninjas are far stronger than the ninjas in the country of rain.

   "It should be safe now."

   There is a distance from the sand hidden ninja behind him. Although it has been delayed for a long time, it should be thankful to be out of danger.

  Nagato breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Will Lord Hanzo die?"

  Xiaonan looked at the rain falling from the sky and asked this question.

   Nagato was silent.

   "..."

  Xiaonan also knows that the answer to this question is a bit heavy.

   They are ninjas in Yuyin Village, who have been fascinated by the legend of demigods since they were young.

  The Land of Rain lost the protection of the demigod, what should it do in the future?

  For the first time, Xiaonan's eyes showed confusion.

   "Master Hanzo will come back alive! Now let's meet up with Yahiko and the others, and then return to Ameyin. I'm more worried about the village now."

   Nagato said suddenly.

   "The village?"

   Xiaonan was a little puzzled.

   "It's really strange that the troops led by Lord Hanzo were easily caught in an ambush by Sand Yin."

   "You mean—"

   Xiaonan's face changed slightly.

  Konoha, Sand Hidden! Nagato clenched his fists and his face was serious.

   I hope this guess is just my own wishful thinking, if not, then things are really bad.

  ◎

   "Are you Yuyin's ninjas?"

   The Akatsuki, who were running away, suddenly encountered dozens of ninjas blocking the way in the middle of the Grand Canyon.

"You are…"

  The ninjas blocking their way were wearing Konoha Ninja forehead guards, and some of them were wearing Konoha Anbe's costumes, but the oil paint on the masks gave people a very weird feeling.

   "We are Konoha ninjas. Our large army was ambushed by Sand Hidden on the road... How is the situation on your side?"

  A ninja wearing Konoha Anbe costume comes out.

   There are more or less scars on his body, as well as the rest of the Konoha ninjas, obviously after a hard battle before.

  When Konoha Anbe asked about Ugakure's battle situation, everyone in Akatsuki fell silent, and Yahiko also fell silent, without speaking.

"Yeah?"

   Konoha Anbe who came out also sighed, stepped forward and patted one of them on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

   "It's okay, as long as you escape, I'll take you to rest first."

  Pfft!

  Kunai stabbed into the chest of this Akatsuki member.

  This member of Akatsuki looked at the mask on Konoha Anbe's face in disbelief.

   "For...why..."

   His eyes were full of pain and confusion.

   I don't understand why Konoha, who is an ally, wants to surprise him, a friendly ninja.

   Konoha Anbe was too lazy to talk nonsense, kicked the person in front of him away, then waved his palm, and said in a cold voice:

   "Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

   "You, are you crazy?"

  Yahiko couldn't believe that Konoha's ninjas would kill them.

  They are allies.

  Why kill allied ninjas?

  The shadow sprang out quickly, and then split into more than a dozen slender shadows, which respectively entered Xiao's shadows, making them all unable to move, and their bodies stiffened in place.

  Shadow imitation technique!

  The ninja wearing the costume of Konoha Anbe used this technique, obviously from the Nara clan of Konoha.

  Countless kunai and shuriken poured down from the sky, magnifying in the eyes of Yahiko and others.

   Afterwards, the sound of the body being cut by a sharp weapon continued to be heard.

  Nagato, Konan... Yahiko lost consciousness after only this thought remained in his mind.

  Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Kanzang came out from behind a rock, and said with a smile: "As expected of Master Danzo's subordinates, the strike is really fierce and swift."

   “We just need to get the job done.”

   "Next, there is a red-haired boy and a blue-haired girl. They will return here soon. The red-haired boy should be careful. He will use the strange ninjutsu that bounces everything around him, but it cannot be used continuously. There will be some interval between the next use."

  Kanzo told the leader Konoha Anbe about the Nagato information he observed... No, it should be a ninja from Konoha Nebu.

   "Don't worry, it's something we agreed to help you win the leader of Yuyin next. In the future, the Kingdom of Rain will be a subsidiary country of the Kingdom of Fire, and Yuyin Village will also be a subsidiary Shinobi Village of Konoha."

   "Of course. Hanzo's wife, son, and grandson, I will kill all of them when I go back. Everything about Hanzo will disappear from Yuyin. Please tell Danzo-sama to make him feel as relieved as possible. Then, I will go first, and I am looking forward to your good news in Yuyin."

  Kanzang smiled happily and disappeared in front of Konoha Genbu Ninja.

   There are eight root members here, and the rest are ninjas from the Konoha Shimura clan, members of the root leader Shimura Danzo.

  The purpose of their gathering here is to eliminate all the Yuyin ninjas who could threaten his position as the leader of Yuyin for Kanzang.

  In the future, Yuyin Village will be Konoha's affiliated Ninja Village. Of course, it is necessary to choose a dog that is easy to obey.

   "In this way, Sand Yin will be overwhelmed and retreat from the battlefield. Uken is also in his bag. He really deserves to be one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru. If he loses, he will be doomed. If he wins the position of the fourth generation of Hokage, it will be a smooth road without any threat."

  Therefore, Konoha will usher in the era when the fourth generation of Hokage and Root join forces to open up a great cause that is earth-shattering.

   Immersed in such a beautiful blueprint for the future, Genbu Ninja led the rest of the Konoha Ninjas to arrange on the scene, and then quickly left the scene to wait for an opportunity to ambush.

-five minutes later.

  The belated figures of Nagato and Xiaonan appeared in the canyon.

  Looking at the corpses all over the floor, the two of them were stunned for a moment, their minds went blank, and they could hardly remember anything.

  Yahiko died.

  Everyone in Akatsuki died too.

   What's going on here?

   Are you dreaming?

  Why hasn't this dream woken up yet?

   "How could this happen...it's impossible...everyone...Yahiko...Yahiko! Wake me up!"

  Xiaonan's tears flowed out of her eyes, looking at the cold face of the corpse, the other party's smile full of vigor and sunshine was never seen again.

  What was lying on the ground was just a cold corpse.

  Nagato was stunned, looking at the scarlet everywhere and the cold faces of Akatsuki, this scene hurt Nagato's heart.

   Breathless.

   Difficulty breathing.

  Weakness, sadness, pain, all kinds of emotions rushed in Nagato's body, and his body trembled.

  Nagato had a stiff face, his red hair covered his eyes, he squatted down slowly, and touched Yahiko's chest with trembling fingers.

   "Yahiko..."

  He was talking, when a hissing voice sounded.

   Nagato, who was in grief, immediately realized that something was wrong, and lifted Yahiko's chest clothes, and there were a lot of detonating symbols wrapped around it.

  Nagato and Xiaonan suddenly shrank their pupils.

  Boom!

  The bursting flames engulfed the bodies of the two.

  Nagato hugged Xiao Nan's body and rolled on the ground, groaning in pain from Nagato.

   "Nagato!"

   Xiaonan knew that it was Nagato who protected her, so she was spared. However, the back of Nagato's body at this moment was completely scorched by the fire, and the scene of blood dripping made Xiaonan's heart ache.

   "Xiao Nan, be careful!"

  At the moment the detonator exploded, Nagato realized that there was an enemy.

   Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, countless kunai and shurikens flew from the sky, with a large number of detonating symbols wrapped around them, intending to explode Nagato and Konan to death.

   "Shenluo Tianzheng!"

  Nagato raised his hand, and the fierce repulsive force was released. Kunai and the shuriken were all bounced off, and the kunai with the detonating talisman exploded in the sky.

   "Go! Kill them!"

  The root ninja took the lead and rushed out from between the hidden rocks, followed by the ninjas of the Shimura clan.

   "... Konoha Ninja..."

  The clothes of these people, as well as the ninja forehead, and the shadow stretching from the shadows, are the shadow ninjutsu that the Nara clan will use.

  Nagato instantly recognized the identities of these attackers, they were ninjas from Konoha.

   and their teacher Zilai also a village.

   "Shenluo Tianzheng!"

  The strong repulsive force caused the root ninja who was rushing to the front to be directly ejected and rolled on the ground in embarrassment.

  Shenluo Tianzheng can bounce off objects, but it cannot bounce back such intangible spells as shadows.

  However, Nagato did not dodge, allowing the elongated shadow of the root ninja to enter his own shadow.

   "The shadow imitation technique was successful."

  The root ninja spit out cold words.

   "Did you kill these people?"

  Nagato didn't care about being controlled by the shadow imitation technique, but asked this question.

   “This is really a pointless Q&A.”

  The root ninja who was knocked to the ground by Shinra Tianzheng stood up, slapped the muddy water on his body, and smiled coldly.

   "Aren't Yuyin and Konoha allies?"

   "Surrender to Konoha's power is enough. Umein who lost Hanzo is just a watchdog of our Konoha."

"Yeah?"

  Nagato's tone was lifeless, with no emotion.

  The Konoha ninjas around saw Nagato's silence, and for some reason a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.

   "Stop talking nonsense with him, kill them both!"

   With an order, dozens of ninjas rushed from all directions.

  According to the information given by Kanzang, the ninjutsu that bounces off the object cannot be used continuously, so grab that gap and kill him.

   "Wait! Don't get close to him yet!"

  The root ninja who used the shadow imitation technique suddenly realized the danger, and stopped his companions from attacking Nagato.

   It's too late.

  A terrifying chakra was brewing on Nagato's body, blowing his red hair into the air, his eyes of reincarnation widened, and bloodshot eyes split open.

  A strong sense of oppression was released from Nagato's reincarnation eyes, forming an invisible aura around him, making the Konoha ninjas who were besieging them stagnate.

  Nagato bit his finger, ignoring the binding ability of the shadow imitation technique, slapped his palm on the ground vigorously, and shouted loudly:

   "Psychic Art · Heretic Golem!"

  First, two huge wooden palms broke through the ground, and then the withered and yellow wooden body. The undulating breath made people feel trembling from the soul.

  The body of the huge monster, like a mountain, tore open its huge mouth and roared loudly, making a terrifying roar.

  The power of sound waves travels through the air.

  Dozens of Konoha ninjas were all bounced off by the sound waves caused by the monsters, falling heavily on the ground and stone walls, and stood up in a state of embarrassment.

   "Then, what is that?"

  The root ninja was horrified.

   It is not because of the size of the monster, but some unknown mysterious power, which comes from instinctive fear.

  The monster lowered its head, spit out long and thin black sticks from its mouth, and pierced Nagato's back accurately.

   “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

   Not only because of the joy of the upcoming killing, but also because of the pain caused by the black stick piercing the body, Nagato's roar did not seem like a sound that a human can make.

   "Is that kid crazy?"

   "The psychic beast actually attacked its master..."

  The Konoha ninjas dare not go forward, thinking that Nagato is already in a state of madness and unconsciousness.

  Nagato didn't care what the Konoha ninjas thought, and their thoughts didn't matter.

  A large amount of chakra flowed out of the body, and the black stick pierced his back through the monster's mouth to conduct chakra, and flowed into the monster's mouth, brewing some dangerous power inside.

  The black stick broke, and Nagato fell to the ground, panting heavily.

  The shape of the face became thinner, and a creepy smile appeared on his mouth, ferocious and eerie.

   "Go to hell, go to hell..."

  He cursed like this.

   While Konoha Ninja was hesitating, the monster made new movements again.

  Purple light came out of the giant mouth, and a purple chakra dragon flew out of the monster's mouth without warning.

  The flying speed of the purple chakra dragon was very fast, and almost a dozen Konoha ninjas were involved in the body in the blink of an eye.

  The shell of the body fell to the ground, and the illusory spirit body was devoured as the bait of the purple chakra dragon.

   "Run! That thing can directly devour souls!"

  Seeing this scene, the Konoha ninjas lost their souls. They couldn't think of fighting in their hearts, and only thought about how to escape smoothly.

  The body of the purple chakra dragon glides in the sky. Wherever it passes, the souls of the Konoha ninjas it touches are all separated from the body.

   "Vientiane Tianyin!"

   Nagato aimed his palm at the Konoha ninjas who were about to escape in one direction, and those Konoha ninjas disobeyed and flew towards Nagato.

   Shouting in horror, the purple chakra dragon flew over immediately, and the surrounding was instantly silent, as quiet as death.

  In less than half a minute, the root ninjas of the two teams, plus dozens of Konoha ninjas from the Shimura clan, were wiped out.

   Seeing that the Konoha ninjas were all wiped out, Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, and unleashed the psychic technique, allowing the monster that spewed purple chakra dragons to disappear into white smoke, and his body lightened. He is still too reluctant to use this technique now, and he almost failed to support it.

   "Nagato, are you okay?"

   Konan ran over and supported Nagato's body.

  Nagato's hands and feet were cold, his body was emaciated, and the expression on his face was slightly distorted. One can imagine the pain he was enduring alone.

   "I...I'm fine, Xiao Nan...it's not safe here, let's go..."

   Nagato supported his body strongly, indicating that he was not in the way.

  Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the position directly in front of him. Xiao Nan followed his line of sight and saw that the ground was slightly raised, and a black humanoid creature emerged from the soil, revealing half of its body.

   Black absolutely.
