Chapter 79 Pretending to be Tang Dynasty and Scheming Against Him
"Hanzo, what are you doing here!?"
As torrential rain poured down, Tsunade rushed out of the ruins, stepping over the rubble. Her brows were furrowed with deep melancholy, and her expression was extremely solemn.
The worst-case scenario has occurred: instead of personally leading Amegakure, Hanzo has instead been stationed near Amegakure.
Who is he wary of?
Is it Iwagakure or Konoha?
Both are present; perhaps that's the answer.
"Now is not the time to answer such pointless questions, Tsunade."
Dressed in a black cloak and wearing a gas mask, Hanzo seemed to be standing above the rain, looking down at Tsunade.
Even the usually serious Hanzo couldn't help but smile when he saw Tsunade.
Tsunade frowned, facing off against Hanzo, until a flash of crimson light appeared.
A sharp, blood-red flash suddenly appeared behind Hanzo.
Fukuyo suddenly emerged from Hanzo's shadow.
The crimson Sharingan spun like a helicopter, and the curse marks from Sukuna quietly covered Fukuko's face.
He held his four fingers level, and in the next instant, the fastest slash, combined with the binding of Obsidian, arrived in a flash.
The instantaneous slash was like a taut line, carrying the will to sever everything, cutting towards Hanzo.
The unyielding will seemed to completely shut out the rain curtain along the way in that instant.
"Not good!" Even Hanzo couldn't help but show surprise when faced with this first-time kill.
He immediately twisted his body and then quickly used the Water Instantaneous Body Technique.
Even though he reacted extremely quickly, he still had flesh sliced off his side and his internal organs nearly damaged, but he still managed to narrowly escape.
"Damn it, he got away!" Tsunade instantly reunited with Fukuro, feeling a little regretful.
However, Fu Heiyao had no time to pay attention to Tsunade. His expression was extremely serious at the moment, and his Sharingan kept scanning the surroundings, trying to discern Hanzo's chakra traces.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Suddenly, a thick white mist rose up, only to be dispersed in an instant by the roar of the salamander.
"roar!"
Following closely behind the salamander's roar was a beam of purple smoke that resembled a pillar of light.
That was the nightmare of the Konoha ninja, a poisonous mist containing the venom of the salamander.
Meanwhile, in the nearby pharmaceutical workshop, Amegakure, who were besieging Iwagakure, suddenly became agitated upon seeing Hanzo's salamander.
"It's Lord Hanzo's salamander!"
"Lord Hanzo is still in Amegakure. So all of this was part of Lord Hanzo's plan!"
The morale of the Rain Village was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Rock Village plummeted, and there was even a hint of despair.
If Hanzo the Salamander is still in Amegakure, then they've fallen into a trap.
However, to their surprise, Hanzo did not immediately use the salamanders to wipe them out, but instead launched an attack on an unknown enemy.
"Hanzo is being held up, everyone follow me to break through!" Iwagakure reacted quickly.
On the other side, "Sharingan, and that slash... Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as a cradle of geniuses; it's truly enviable!"
Hanzo stood atop the salamander's head, his gaze obscured by the misty rain, yet beneath his praise lay an undisguised, chilling killing intent.
Clearly, the appearance of Fukuko has made Hanzo furious.
To be able to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age, and to have the strength to injure him unexpectedly.
If this child doesn't die, he will surely become a major threat to Yu Yin!
Hanzo made up his mind.
Tsunade's identity is special, and Hanzo dared not kill her, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't dare kill the Uchiha.
"Kid, state your name."
Hanzo wiped away the trickles of blood dripping from his waist, abdomen, and neck with his fingers, his gaze fixed on Fu Heiyao.
Just as Fukuko was about to mention Nawaki's name, Tsunade, looking flustered and pale, handed him a genuine Salamander Antidote.
"No time to explain, drink the antidote!"
After the two men blew the antidote into the bottle, they felt a little more confident.
"Hanzo, if you know what's good for you, let us leave, or this will be the end of Amegakure."
While Tsunade was trash-talking, she was exchanging information with Fushiko by gesturing.
Seeing the two drink the antidote for the salamander, Hanzo's expression changed slightly, but he remained confident.
After Hanzo formed the hand seals, he seemed to melt into the endless, torrential rain of the Land of Rain.
"Those who offend my Rain Hermitage, though far away, shall be punished!"
Hanzo's hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the rain, but what was even more astonishing was what followed: the previously continuous raindrops suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Above the ruins, it was as if a black hole had appeared out of thin air, and raindrops gathered towards the source of the sound like swallows returning to their nests.
In just a moment, a water dragon formed from raindrops roared menacingly toward Tsunade and Fushiko.
"Water Release: Water Dragon's Roar!"
The roaring water dragon, carrying immense pressure, pierced between Fukuko and Tsunade like a water sword, separating the two.
At that moment, the salamander suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a thick cloud of poisonous gas, turning into a purple mist, rushed towards Tsunade.
Tsunade's pupils contracted as she faced the rapidly approaching purple mist.
Although she drank the antidote for the salamander, if she were to take a direct hit from a saturated poison, she would definitely lose her fighting ability in a short period of time.
It's not a matter of whether the antidote is effective or not, but rather a matter of dosage.
Tsunade exerted force with the soles of her feet, unleashing a burst of azure chakra, and dodged to the side like an arrow released from a bow.
However, Hanzo was clearly not going to let her go. Just as Tsunade was about to escape, a cold light suddenly pierced through the purple mist.
"Tear"
Suddenly, a teeth-grinding scraping sound rang out, and the dark rain curtain was torn apart by the bright light of the blade.
"Water Body Flicker, when did that happen?!" Tsunade's forehead was covered in sweat as she hurriedly dodged to the side, but she was still struck by the Body Flicker's blade.
The armor, worn from countless battles, was almost completely destroyed on the spot, revealing large areas of fair skin and the waistline.
The scythe infused with salamander venom and the excruciating pain made Tsunade feel drowsy.
After losing Orochimaru and Jiraiya as teammates, Tsunade truly felt the oppressive feeling of a demigod when facing Hanzo alone.
Hanzo continued swinging his scythe, aiming another strike at Tsunade's shoulder.
He wants to disable Tsunade's fighting abilities so he can focus on fighting Fukuko.
But at this critical moment, an even more rampant current erupted from Fu Heiyao's body, which was crackling with lightning.
He actually walked straight through the poison of the salamander.
Even the salamander was somewhat moved by this scene. Despite having had a salamander venom sac implanted in him since childhood, he dared not touch the salamander venom like this. "Kid, I acknowledge you." The salamander sincerely praised Fukuyo's courage, and then gripped the scythe in his hand even tighter.
Acknowledging an enemy does not mean showing mercy; in Hanzo's dictionary, he only means going all out.
"What a stupid boy." Tsunade was moved but also a little disappointed when she saw Fukuyo rushing towards her without regard for his own safety.
Is this stupid ninja academy for skipping classes?
If she can't even see the situation clearly, she's already been locked onto by Hanzo and can't escape. She might as well take this opportunity to escape on her own.
"By canceling damage as a constraint, I gain 200% speed." Fu Heiyao remained silent, simply taking out loans.
Dark electricity erupted from his palm, and before he could even form hand seals, he unleashed a bolt of lightning that swept Hanzo and Tsunade into the attack's range.
"Black lightning, some kind of nature transformation of Lightning Release?" Hanzo sensed the deadly threat within the black lightning and had no choice but to abandon his plan to cripple the captured Tsunade.
"It's ironic, I never thought that Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, would die at the hands of her own people," Hanzo sighed.
However, Hanzo could understand Fushiko's actions. In order to prevent their own people from being captured and having their intelligence obtained, that's how ninjas should act.
"That's really decisive!" Tsunade clicked her tongue, not thinking that Fukuyo had done anything wrong.
She was prepared to die before she came.
Rather than letting her be captured, it's better to just kill her.
However, on the verge of death, Tsunade suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered when Fukuyo used black lightning on her a few days ago.
"That's quite the clever little devil!"
Although she didn't receive an explanation from Fu Heiyao, she had already guessed it.
The next moment, pitch-black lightning entangled Tsunade's entire body, but her skin remained unharmed, and the excruciating pain that penetrated deep into her soul completely awakened Tsunade's dazed consciousness.
"You really don't hold back at all, kid!" Tsunade was in excruciating pain that went deep into her bones, causing her body to convulse and her eyes to roll back.
However, having anticipated this, she endured the excruciating pain and rushed towards Fu Heiyao's direction immediately.
By the time Hanzo realized something was wrong, it was too late.
"The black lightning caused no harm. The ninja world truly is full of geniuses." Hanzo, who had been tricked, was not angry, but only sighed.
However, he was not in a hurry, because Fu Heiyao had already been poisoned by the salamander, and even if he took the antidote beforehand, he would become weak.
But Fu Heiyao's next decision surprised him.
"Instead of running away, you're walking towards me on your own initiative?"
"Hanzo, I hope you can give me some fun from now on!" Fukuko grinned.
At this moment, he didn't even have the idea of running away anymore. On the one hand, he couldn't escape, and on the other hand, he was in a very good state.
The pressure from Hanzo made Fukuyo feel like his blood was about to boil!
"You arrogant brat, I'll show you what a demigod is like." Hanzo sneered.
However, he did not relax for a moment, always keeping the Water Instant Body seal in place.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone a little brat who can hurt it.
Fu Heiyao clasped his hands together and softly called out Manxiang's name.
"Is this Water Release?" Hanzo looked on with slight surprise as the raindrops around him gathered in Fukuyo's palm.
The Uchiha, who were skilled in fire-style techniques, actually decided to use water-style techniques against him.
Hanzo didn't take it seriously, but the next moment, when the water arrow, compressed to its limit by Bai Lian, shot out at supersonic speed, Hanzo's expression finally changed.
Hanzo formed hand seals and unleashed Water Dragon's Roar once more, but then something astonishing happened.
The water dragon that had just condensed was torn in two by the sonic water arrow that ripped through the rain and air.
"Well done!" Tsunade's eyes lit up when she saw that Fushiko had actually used a Water Release technique that was no less powerful than her second grandfather's.
Maybe they really can win?
This almost impossible idea came to Tsunade's mind.
"Such mastery of Water Release techniques." Hanzo narrowed his eyes as he watched the water dragon, pierced by the water arrow, dissipate.
Fu Heiyao's momentum through the water remained undiminished as he pierced towards Hanzo.
"Kid, if you were born in Amegakure, I would be willing to take you as my disciple and teach you with all my heart."
Hanzo's tone carried a hint of regret. Instead of taking the hit head-on, he used his Water Strike ability to quickly close the distance with Fukuyo, interrupting his Water Strike.
However, Fu Heiyao was no pushover either. He used Water Piercing at long range and slashed directly at close range.
"Is it an instantaneous wind blade or a secret technique?" Hanzo, who had just approached Fukuyo, was forced back by a dense storm of slashes.
Even the sickle was cleaved open.
The sparks that flew up shimmered in the torrential rain, like stars in the night.
Hanzo tried to pull it away, but Fukuko attacked the salamander with his Water Piercing Technique and called on Tsunade to help deal with it.
But all of this is based on Fukuyo's frantic consumption of chakra, while Hanzo only relies on simple taijutsu and the Water Flicker Technique.
"If we continue playing like this, I might really lose."
Fu Heiyao had to admit that he was far inferior to Hanzo in terms of basic skills.
Logically, they should have focused all their energy on escaping.
But...that's the mindset of a loser!
Under Hanzo's pressure, Fukuko's Sharingan eyes spun faster and faster, almost merging into one.
"Kid, if you surrender, I might spare your life."
Hanzo, using the Water Instantaneous Body technique as his core, constantly maneuvered around Fukuko.
Seeing that Fu Heiyao's movements were getting slower and slower, he assumed that the salamander's toxins were taking effect.
As Fukuyo gradually weakened, Hanzo's mind began to stir.
Seeing that Fushiko remained silent, Hanzo looked at Tsunade again.
"The mighty Tsunade, now reduced to hiding behind a child?"
"Tsunade, you should know that you can't escape." Hanzo began his psychological attack.
"If you stay, I'll spare this child's life."
"You should know that this child has been poisoned by my salamander because he saved you."
"Shut up, Hanzo! If you're so capable, fight me fair and square! Don't try these petty tricks!"
Tsunade gathered her superhuman strength and shattered the earth beneath the Salamander's feet with a single punch.
But every time she tried to approach the salamander and attempt to drive away the poisonous beast, Hanzo would appear like a demon in the rain, wielding the scythe of death to force Tsunade back.
Tsunade felt increasingly powerless as she fought, and repeatedly signaled to Fukuyo to run away.
But Fu Heiyao is like a blockhead, stubbornly holding on, and even though he has been poisoned by the salamander, he hasn't uttered a sound.
"I'm begging you, Fu Heiyao, run!"
Tsunade was now prepared to die, and even charged towards the salamander and Hanzo who were filled with poison mist.
Tsunade knew she couldn't defeat Hanzo, and might even become a burden to Fukuko.
She also knew that Fu Heiyao was able to escape at first.
While Shadow Escape requires a period of charging, this time can be greatly reduced if there is only Fukuko alone.
Her earlier act of taking the initiative to attract Hanzo's attention was perhaps intended to allow Fukuyo to escape alone.
But she didn't expect that Fu Heiyao would not only not run away, but instead choose to assassinate Hanzo.
"Tsunade, how embarrassing." Tsunade pouted and mocked herself.
Unable to accept a future where Fu Heiyao dies because of her, she chooses to charge at the salamander to buy Fu Heiyao time to escape.
Gazing at the cold light that tore through the rain, Tsunade concentrated her superhuman strength into a single point, ready to explode against Hanzo.
Once I'm dead, that brat Fu Heiyao should turn back, right?
Just as Tsunade was about to throw a punch, Fukuyo suddenly unleashed a speed far exceeding his previous abilities and blocked Tsunade's path.
"If you keep doing this, Kushina will hate me," Tsunade sighed as she watched Fukuyo's retreating figure.
Kushina's love for Fushiko is common knowledge. If Fushiko were to die because of her, Tsunade herself would not be able to forgive herself.
"Has this kid really gone mad!?"
Hanzo was also extremely surprised. Looking at the two crazy people who had come to their deaths, Hanzo subconsciously felt that they were up to something.
But it would be a shame not to seize such a good opportunity.
Hanzo continued to swing his scythe, preparing to deliver the final blow to Fushiko.
"What are you babbling about?"
Fu Heiya had no idea why Tsunade had so many inner monologues; all he knew was that he was absolutely ecstatic!
Fu Heiyao subconsciously summoned black lightning to envelop his fist, then stretched his arm to its limit.
The air is vibrating.
A deadly threat weighed heavily on his mind.
However, Hanzo didn't care, because Fukuyo had used Black Lightning too many times before.
Hanzo has become immune to this strange attack.
But the moment that punch was actually thrown, Hanzo's expression changed drastically.
"Click"
The originally faint black arc of electricity suddenly erupted into a thicker black arc the moment it struck Hanzo.
No, that wasn't an electric arc, but some kind of spatial distortion.
The moment the black and red lightning erupted, it seemed as if even the torrential rain falling all around was tinged with this distorted darkness.
Fu Heiyao's previous actions of deliberately getting poisoned by the salamander and misusing black lightning were now exposed.
The overwhelming force stirred up the surrounding rain, engulfing everything in its path like a tsunami.
"Sizzle!"
The deafening explosion caused Tsunade, who was behind Fukuyo, to cover her ears and show a pained expression.
However, a strange sense of security rose in her heart at this moment.
