Chapter 57 Three Shinobi vs. Hanzo the Salamander
Before Nagato could answer, Yahiko leaned forward and asked excitedly.
"Really! Big brother, are you a ninja too?!"
Kakuzu, who had been dealt with by Izuna several times, said with a sigh.
"Of course, Izuna is definitely the strongest person in the world."
"Really? I want you to tell me, big brother. I won't listen to that bad uncle."
"You brat, believe it or not."
Izuna nodded, offering only a simple reply.
"I am very strong."
"Really!"
Yahiko was curious about just how strong Izuna really was.
"Is that big brother as strong as Lord Hanzo?"
Tetsuya chuckled when he heard Yahiko ask that question.
"How about this? Words are no proof. Let Izuna prove it to you."
"Prove it to us? How will you prove it?"
The three children were curious about how the other party wanted to prove it.
"Let Izuna spar with Hanzo the Salamander and see who is stronger."
"Sigh—!" *3
The three children gasped in surprise. The older brother in front of them was going to challenge Lord Hanzo!
"That's not a good idea. Lord Hanzo is still at war, and he's incredibly powerful. If you're not careful, someone could die! Big brother is a good person, and we don't want anything to happen to you."
Izuna waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I came here specifically for Hanzo the Salamander."
"As expected, I knew Izuna-sama hadn't come all this way just to travel to a humid place like the Land of Rain."
Kakuzu had an "I see" look on his face.
"Alright, let's set off without delay. We already scouted out before we came, and the decisive battle between Konoha and Amegakure is about to begin. We can go and join in the excitement."
Tetsuya looked like he was enjoying the show.
"So, Kakuzu, you should be able to protect these three little ones on the battlefield, right?"
"This is indeed a troublesome task, but since it's a task assigned by the boss, I have no problem with it."
"Let's go then."
As he spoke, Izuna walked towards the door, turning back to look at Nagato.
"I will show you my power."
I will train the successor to my brother's eyes. I, Uchiha Izuna, will cultivate him into a powerful ninja like my brother!
Nagato and his two companions were still somewhat bewildered when Tetsuya and his friends led them onto the battlefield.
In the Land of Rain, on the battlefield between Konoha and Amegakure, ninjas from both sides clashed.
A torrential downpour fell from the sky, the continuous rain washing away the corpses and bloodstains on the ground.
Meanwhile, on one side of the battlefield, the ninjas from both sides tacitly avoided a certain area, which was the area where their strongest fighters would clash.
The three disciples of the Third Hokage of Konoha fought a battle against Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure.
The battle had been going on for several rounds, and Tsunade and her two companions were barely managing to suppress the outnumbered Hanzo of the Salamander.
Even at this moment, there was still no trace of panic in Hanzo the Salamander's eyes.
"Crying yo-se! (Spiritual summoning!)"
After repelling Jiraiya and his two companions with a single scythe, Hanzo the Salamander quickly formed hand seals and slammed his hand onto the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a huge array plate appeared on the ground.
"Bam—!"
A muffled thud was heard, and white mist rose up.
"That is!"
Jiraiya, who was panting heavily, widened his eyes when he saw the huge figure appear in the white mist.
"when!"
As the white mist dissipated, a giant salamander, as large as a small mountain, appeared before them.
This is Hanzo the Salamander's summoning beast. With the cooperation of this summoning beast, Hanzo the Salamander's power is at its complete form.
Standing atop the salamander's head, Hanzo the salamander crossed his arms and looked down at the three people below.
"Swish swish~!"
Suddenly, several kunai were thrown out, and explosive tags were tied to the ends of the kunai!
The salamander made its move, immediately unleashing explosive tags and kunai.
"Tsunade, Orochimaru, get out of the way!"
Jiraiya shouted, warning his teammates to get out of the way.
The three of them leaped into the air and jumped in different directions.
The explosive tag kunai hit the spot where the three of them had just landed precisely.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The terrifying explosion sent shockwaves through the air, creating several deep craters in the ground.
Smoke billowed up, and the three of them scattered in different parts of the smoke.
That's exactly the effect Hanzo the Salamander wanted.
"Now! Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation!"
"what!"
Tsunade felt something crawling up her feet. When she looked down, she saw that it was the bullying explosive tag that had attached itself to her feet!
"Watch out for Tsunade!"
Jiraiya reacted immediately.
"Ninjutsu, Needle Jizo!"
With a flick of his long hair, Jiraiya's white hair stretched out like tentacles, wrapping around Tsunade and protecting her.
"Boom boom boom~!"
At the same time, the detonator spontaneously combusted and then exploded.
The explosion produced flames that engulfed Erran.
"Ah!"
Hanzo the Salamander sneered. How could mere hair possibly stop the flames of the explosive tags?
However, when the flames subsided, Tsunade and Jiraiya were both unharmed. Clearly, the salamander underestimated Jiraiya's ninjutsu. Hair enhanced by Jizo needles could not possibly be ordinary hair.
"What?!"
"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand!"
Just as Hanzo of the Salamander was surprised, Orochimaru, who had been lurking in the shadows waiting for his chance, made his move.
Several large white-scaled snakes rushed over and immediately wrapped around and bound Hanzo the Salamander.
"It's time, Jiraiya!"
Orochimaru shouted loudly.
Jiraiya, as a teammate, naturally understood.
"I understand, Ninja Technique: Thousand Needles!"
In an instant, Jiraiya's long white hair exploded, shooting out a large amount of hair like a hedgehog spraying out spikes. This hair shot towards the bound Hanzo Salamander like a thousand needles used by a ninja.
Hanzo of the Salamander didn't react much to the ninjutsu that was hurtling towards him; he simply activated his own ninjutsu silently.
"Water Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
"Splash!"
The moment the ninjutsu was activated, Hanzo the Salamander, along with the mountain-sized salamander beneath his feet, dissolved into flowing water and vanished, then instantly reappeared in another location.
"what!"
Orochimaru was also somewhat surprised to see this scene, and immediately retreated to join Tsunade and Jiraiya.
As Jiraiya dispelled his Needle Jizo ninjutsu, a feeling of weakness immediately washed over him.
"Are you alright, Jiraiya?"
"I'm alright. This level of burns is nothing serious, it's just that the previous battle took a toll."
After all, it took the three of them quite a bit of effort to force Hanzo of the Salamander to use his summoning ability.
"This guy is too strong. Even our combined ninjutsu can't do anything to him."
Orochimaru sighed. The three of them had not yet reached their peak. Tsunade had not yet developed the Hundred Healings Technique, Jiraiya did not yet know Sage Mode, and Orochimaru had not yet begun his various modifications.
At this point, they faced Hanzo the Salamander, who was in his prime, and the fight was extremely difficult. The three of them were almost at their limit, but Hanzo the Salamander seemed to be able to continue fighting.
