Escape From Konoha

The air around him was very cold, and the patter of rain echoed in his ears.

The panicked cries that reached his ears from all around did not cause the slightest ripple in Hanzo's heart.

The scythe held tightly in his hand sliced ​​open the enemy's body, as if tirelessly.

The Sunagakure ninja felt fear from the bottom of his heart. The cold air whizzed from behind and penetrated into his spine. He couldn't help but shiver.

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

The feet on the water formed ripples, and then disappeared in an instant.

Weaving through the rain of arrows arranged by kunai and shuriken, dodging, rotating the body, and the scythe sprayed blood.

This is just sword skills, instant body skills, and pure crushing in experience.

Every second that passes, a Sunagakure ninja will fall, turning the water channels on the ground red.

You can't see the trajectory 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 symbolizing death had already been swung down mercilessly.

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

There was no trace of human scent on him.

It was an evil ghost climbing out from the depths of hell.

The ninjas he targeted were all stiff, overwhelmed by his aura, with horrified expressions on their faces.

It's impossible for one person, ten people, or a hundred people to stop the man in front of you.

Sand hidden ninjas are very clear about this.

But they still stood up without fear of death, using their own flesh and blood to build iron walls for their companions, just to create space for their companions to attack the enemy.

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

Use one thousand ninjas to contain one thousand Amegakure ninjas, and then two thousand 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 skills and sword skills can contain Hanzo in close combat, while long-range ninjutsu ninjas in the rear must release their ninjutsu at the right time to hit Hanzo.

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

He was stabbed once before, so it can be said that he was fighting in an overloaded state.

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

Therefore, 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·Pseudo Darkness!"

A true ninja should be unknown and unnoticed.

Give the enemy a killing blow at the most appropriate time.

This is what Kakuzu has known all his life, and it should be a truth that every ninja must understand.

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

Such was the God of Ninja back then.

The same is true for the current ninja demigods.

Names bring trouble, and endless assassinations.

But sometimes, you have to do something that attracts attention.

After all, this is a corpse worth 100 million taels. If you can successfully obtain this corpse, it can make up for the vacancy in your heart to some extent.

Kakuzu's heart is filled with the desire for money and greed.

What I saw flying in the sky was a dark 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 accuracy.

Hanzo, who was fighting the Sunagakure ninja, stiffened suddenly and let out a painful groan. The clothes on his back were shattered by lightning, revealing his back body full of scars.

Hanzo was rolling on the ground in a panic, unable to react to Kakuzu's sudden attack.

The opponent was aiming at his blind spot.

The attack was decisive and ruthless, without any hesitation.

Kunai and shurikens fell from the sky.

Hanzo slapped the ground with his palm.

A wall of water stood up in front of him, deflecting all kunai and shurikens in an instant.

Hanzo jumped back again. The fabric of his trouser legs was stained red. Two shurikens could not be blocked by the water wall and were stuck in the flesh of his thighs.

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

Kakuzu murmured quietly.

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

But no matter how powerful the ninja is, he can't resist the erosion of time.

Especially for ninjas like Hanzo, who spent the first half of their lives fighting in bloody battles. They fought countless battles between young and middle-aged people, leaving countless hidden wounds on their bodies. Their strength declines after old age, so it is 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 Sha Yin's home field, and while assisting, he should not reveal too much ability.

Now it is a cooperative relationship, and 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 Sunagakure's victory, but also to make it not easy 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 Kakuzu's thoughts.

Although he was a bounty hunter introduced by Iwagakure, Chiyo didn't expect such a guy to fight to the death for Sunagakure.

After all, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are different, and they will not trust such bounty hunters who are on the defection list.

Quietly let a few Jonin lurk over, and it would be best if both parties were safe. If you wanted to get Hanzo's body in exchange for money, then don't blame Sunagakure 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 cold eyes turned to the Amegakure ninja outside Hanzo, with strong murderous intent.

Unlike Hanzo, the combat effectiveness of this group of Amegakure ninjas is very weak. First annihilate these Amegakure ninjas, then free up manpower, and finally solve Hanzo's biggest trouble.

As a result, Chiyo's fingers moved flexibly, and Jiutai's puppet wearing a white robe broke away from the constraints of gravity. Its feet lifted off the ground and flew towards the Amegakure ninja in the crowd like lightning, unfolding its murderous fangs.

Thunder was still roaring, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.

The ground was filled with the sounds of fighting, and even with the rain washing away, there was still a very strong smell of blood.

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

Every time one Sunagakure dies, three, four, or even five people will die.

Some of the Amegakure ninjas cried, and some relied on shouting to dispel the fear of death, but none of them escaped, because escaping would mean death, so it was better to give it a go and be glorious as a hero fighting for the village and the country. Died in the line of duty.

With blood on his face, he ran across the battlefield, then was stabbed down by a kunai, cut open by the sharp blade held by the puppet, swallowed by the fire caused by the detonating talisman, and cut by the wind escape.

The heavy rain mercilessly hit everyone, as well as the atrium.

Sanjiao Uibushi was also besieged by a large number of sand hidden ninjas, and his body was covered in blood, both from enemies and from himself.

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

There are too many.

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

Hanzo had no time to care about anything else 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 changed direction and flew towards the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas.

The whistling sound was endless.

The inconspicuous raindrops hit the body, sinking directly into the flesh and blood of the ninja. In the blink of an eye, countless blood holes appeared on the bodies of the dozens of Sunagakure ninjas at the forefront, and they fell to the ground dead.

The Sunagakure ninja further away was also affected, but because it was a part of the body that was hit, he was only injured and did not die directly.

"Cough cough."

Hanzo coughed, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and did not take advantage of the victory.

It seemed that he had the advantage on the battlefield, but his physical strength was gradually weakening, and the wounds in his body had cracked again and showed signs of expanding. This reality gradually reminded Hanzo that he was approaching the end of death.

"Hanzo is dying, don't let him breathe!"

Seeing Hanzo suddenly coughing and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, the Sunagakure jonin in charge knew that Hanzo's health was gradually deteriorating, otherwise he would not have missed such a good opportunity to pursue victory.

As a result, the Sunagakure ninjas were full of momentum and mercilessly seized this opportunity to launch an attack.

Hanzo looked up, and saw water bombs as hard as steel, hurricanes filled with chakra that had the ability to cut objects, kunai with detonating talismans, and kunai with attribute chakra, all heading towards him. Fly here.

With my current body, it is a bit difficult to escape with the teleportation technique.

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

"Water escape--"

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

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

This voice... was that boy named Nagato, who had the Samsara Eye.

All the special attacks that the Sunagakure ninjas were proud of came to a standstill in front of him, as if time and space had stopped.

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

The water bombs and hurricanes flew back, and the kunai with the detonating talisman exploded among the Sunagakure ninjas, causing their formations to become chaotic. Some of them had no time to dodge and their bodies were covered in blood.

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

All the deadly weapons they unleashed became weapons to kill and injure their own people.

This scene shocked the Sunagakure ninjas.

Since when has there been such a master ninja besides Hanzo in the Rain Hidden?

I saw around Hanzo, Amegakure ninjas who were dressed differently from ordinary Amegakure ninjas.

They all wore pure black coats. They were all not very old, no more than twenty years old. There were men and women, and the leader was Yahiko.

"Hanzo-sama, are you okay?"

Nagato asked worriedly, standing next to Hanzo.

"Nagato, you shouldn't have come here..."

Hanzo understands the peace-loving ideals of these young people.

But after all, that is just an ideal like a mirror in the mirror.

If you appear on the battlefield at this time, you will get nothing except sacrificing your precious life in vain.

Just as Nagato was about to say something, Yahiko, who was standing on the field between Hanzo and Sunagakure ninjas, had already spoken to everyone in Sunagakure with a solemn expression:

"Please stop the meaningless fighting! I am Yahiko of Amegakure, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. I sincerely hope that Sunagakure can have peace talks with us, Amegakure, and stop adding unnecessary killings and sacrifices. Put all disputes on the table Let’s negotiate, it’ll be good for both of us, that’s what I’m here for!”

His voice was honest and sincere, not a joke.

Let people know that he is serious about thinking this way.

However, due to his serious attitude, the Sunagakure ninjas looked at each other with hesitation and confusion in their eyes.

Wait, what is this guy from Amegakure... talking about?

Peace talks?

Negotiate peace with them?

Is this a new popular joke in Hidden Rain Village?

Seeing every Sunagakure ninja looking at him with strange expressions, Yahiko's heart tightened. Did he say the wrong thing?

Why are you looking at him like this?

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

I believe that one day people will understand each other.

Therefore, he has to become a bridge of mutual understanding between people, in order to solve the destiny of the war curse that shrouds the ninja world.

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

However--

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

I don’t know which Sunagakure ninja laughed first.

Then, more Sunagakure ninjas laughed.

A ferocious laugh, a crazy laugh, so much so that he almost burst into tears.

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

A Sunagaun nin walked out with a mocking expression on his face, but there was a trace of venom hidden in his eyes.

When this kid kneels down, give him a knife! The Sunagakure ninjas also thought so in their hearts.

"I……"

Yahiko opened his mouth but did not agree immediately.

"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.

"Are you really willing to make peace if I kneel down?"

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

After hearing this, Yahiko thought seriously.

If this is the case, even though you have lost your face, if you can become a bridge of understanding between people, this is your only chance.

In order for this country to stop making sacrifices and for people to stop fighting, more people will be displaced.

Whether it's true or not, it's worth a try.

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

Everyone in Akatsuki couldn't bear it when they saw it. They felt that Sunagakure seemed to be a bit too much, but they could only look at this scene angrily.

Because they all believe that Yahiko can change this war world full of hatred and curses with his peace-loving philosophy.

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 eliminated and peace can come to this country, Yahiko is mentally prepared even if he cannot afford to kneel here for a long time.

"Now you can..."

Yahiko let out a breath and was about to raise his head when what caught his eye was a rapidly enlarging ninja sword.

Poof!

Blood sprayed on Yahiko's face.

Yahiko was stunned.

The Sunagakure ninja who attacked Yahiko was also stunned.

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

Immediately, a large gash was opened in the body of the Sunagakure ninja, and rain of blood spattered, causing him to fall down unwillingly.

"H-Hanzo-sama?"

Yahiko stared blankly at the scene in front of him, seemingly not reacting to the drastic change just now.

"Boy, stop making such cowardly gestures."

Hanzo looked back at Yahiko deeply before saying this.

Hanzo, who had gone through three great ninja wars, had no hope of peace at this moment.

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

If you are weak, you will be bullied.

Being weak is not a reason to win the sympathy of the enemy. What you get will only be ridicule and violent abuse from the enemy.

This is the reality of the ninja world.

The strong live, the weak die.

"Yahiko!"

Nagato, Konan and others gathered around Yahiko, also looking sad and angry.

Why wouldn't these Sunagakure ninjas listen to their ideas?

Killing and war are not just acts.

You must know that in all the shinobi wars, it was the Rain Country as a small country that took the pain every time.

Why are their sufferings never considered?

Nagato was also a little angry, but when he saw Yahiko, a Sunagakure ninja who wanted to ruthlessly kill Yahiko and knelt down to plead for peace, he began to have doubts in his heart.

Is what Jiraiya-sensei said really correct?

Can people really understand each other?

No, the question should be this: Even if we understand each other, can disputes really be resolved?

Looking at the ferocious-looking, bloodthirsty and crazy Sunagakure ninja, Nagato fell into such confusion.

I thought of the people in the Country of Rain who were forced to separate their wives and children, the homeless vagrants, and the villages that were reduced to ruins.

But this is not the time to think about these things. There are murderous Sunagakure ninjas around, and they may attack again at any time.

This time not only Hanzo, but also Akatsuki and the others will be the targets of Sunagakure's hunting.

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

The sound was not loud, but in the ears of everyone in Xiao, it was extremely powerful.

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

He was obviously standing very close, but to Nagato, it felt like the place where Hanzo was standing was in another world.

"Let's go and find your future. As the leader of Yugakure, I cannot escape the battle and take everyone out of here. As long as you are alive, there is still hope. If you die, nothing will be left."

Hanzo moved forward slowly step by step, murmuring softly.

It seemed like he was talking to Akatsuki's people, but also like he was talking to himself.

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

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

In their eyes, Hanzo was undoubtedly dangerous to this point.

With an expressionless expression, Hanzo pulled out the blade inserted into his abdomen and let the blood flow out.

Looking calmly at thousands of Sunagakure ninjas, these people who claim to be great nation ninjas still have so-called arrogance.

That's right, this world is one of jungle.

Corrupted by the name of demigod and the so-called power, he actually forgot what he trusted most in the past - power.

"Now I will no longer have any regrets or hesitations."

Yes, there are no regrets, and there will be no hesitation.

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

With this battle and Yahiko's cowardly compromise, he can open his samsara eyes and truly see the true face of this world.

This is also the reason why Yahiko didn't stop him from kneeling to Sunagakure just now.

From now on, Akatsuki's dream is shattered.

It's time to wake up from the innocent dream and face this bloody world where the weak and the strong eat each other.

His fingers reached for the collar and tore it off with force.

The ninja uniform on his upper body was blown away by the wind.

That is a strong body that has been tempered countless times.

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

That is a symbol of 'history' that has been fought against countless powerful enemies in the past.

The rain was falling and the atmosphere was oppressive and dull.

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

"This is the last hurray."

Hanzo began to form a seal, which was enough to suppress the breathless chakra of everyone, and turned into a torrent and erupted from his body.

"Water Release: Prison Dragon Powerful Current!"

"Ugh! What is this?"

"You're lying, right? Why do you still have this power?"

"Damn it!"

The panicked voice of the Sunagakure ninja came.

The earth floats.

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

Then the water began to roll back toward the sky, and the world seemed to be inverted, giving people a dreamy feeling of being displaced up and down.

In this dreamlike landscape, there is a terrible murderous intention hidden.

The waterspout rolled up toward the sky, glowing with scarlet blood, tearing open its huge mouth and roaring.

It was a water dragon tens of meters long.

Different from the water dragon created by the Water Dragon Bomb Technique, this water dragon is larger in size and is not colorless and transparent. There is a large amount of black material spreading in the water dragon's body, causing the water dragon's body to begin to turn black.

Strange and inexplicable black bubbles also appeared on the surface of the water dragon.

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

The black substance that dyed the water dragon black carried a strong aura of death.

However, their hesitation did not last long, their eyes became firm and they launched an attack on Hanzo.

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

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

"Let's go!"

Sensing Hanzo's determination to die, Nagato also knew that it was very dangerous to stay here.

Because in addition to targeting Hanzo, the Sunagakure ninja also targeted them.

The peace talks undoubtedly failed.

Yahiko's path is not desirable.

Coming here is definitely a wrong decision.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The expressions of the dozens of Sunagakure ninjas who rushed from the front suddenly changed drastically. Before they could react, their heads were buzzing and their bodies were pushed out by a huge force. They were rolling awkwardly on the ground, feeling that their internal organs were about to shift. Same.

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

Konan and others also realized how dangerous their situation was at this moment. They grabbed Yahiko, who was still asking himself, "Why did it happen like this?" and began to retreat.

The strength of everyone in the Akatsuki varies, and the strongest one is undoubtedly Nagato, but apart from Nagato, only Konan and Yahiko have the strength of Jonin.

On a battlefield like this where even jounin could die easily, it would be a very scary thing to be stuck by Sunagakure's troops.

It should be fortunate that most of the sand hidden ninja's attention is focused on Hanzo, otherwise there is no possibility of all of them 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 solemn.

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

A ninja as strong as Hanzo also fights with the determination to die.

He possesses the Samsara Eye and still has many immature aspects. It is impossible for him to survive when surrounded by a large number of enemies.

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

The sand hidden ninjas were chasing after them. Although most of the ninjas were concentrated at Hanzo, there were more than two hundred chasing ninjas assigned to them, led by several jouninjas.

◎

Corpses, corpses, corpses.

There were corpses everywhere.

A corpse with black bubbles.

It was some kind of deadly poison.

There was no peaceful expression on the dead body, only a twisted and painful struggle that became stiff as it twisted.

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

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

However, this black water dragon with 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 glided forward, and the Sunagakure ninjas who were preparing to form seals to resist were instantly dispersed.

The parts of their bodies that came into contact with the black dragon immediately bulged 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 but shudder.

The eyes looking at the black dragon were full of horror.

Touch it and die.

Even the antidote they carried couldn't resist this weird poison.

The Sunagakure ninjas who stood in front of the black dragon would, without exception, spit out blood and fly backwards, and would lose their lives in extreme pain due to the black virus.

The power of the black dragon's sliding shook the earth, and the dark clouds gathered in the sky, forming a vortex in the sky with thunder and lightning.

Although he tried hard 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 they were, they could not cause any damage to the poisonous black dragon.

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

You can't get close to the black dragon. If you get close, it will be corroded by the poison.

Such tricks are almost impossible to solve.

"My body is almost reaching its limit. Nagato and the others should escape..."

Looking at the black poisonous dragon ravaging the battlefield, Hanzo coughed softly, his voice getting older, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and he clenched the scythe in his hand.

Before dying, the biggest threat in Sunagakure must be eliminated.

So, Hanzo leaped out, facing the cold wind and rain, the color in his eyes was as cold as the rain.

"How is it possible? The antidote I made actually..."

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? In the past battlefields, she had already cracked all the poisons carried by Hanzo.

There is no possibility of omission.

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

"What kind of ninjutsu is Hanzo using?"

Thousands of generations have been puzzled.

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

Moreover, the water dragon's body was covered with an unknown deadly poison.

Did he still have such vicious ninjutsu that he didn't use when he fought her in the past?

"Chiyo-sama, be careful!"

The anxious shouts of the Sunagakure ninja reached his ears.

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

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

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

With a clang, the sickle fell weakly from his hand and fell on the rain-beaten ground.

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

Just a little bit closer.

Everything happened so fast that Chiyo couldn't react.

When she reacted, one of her arms was missing, and a lot of blood splattered out.

"ah!"

Chiyo held the bleeding wound on her broken arm, and the pain of her broken arm made her cry out.

"Hanzo, you bastard, how dare you—"

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

"What a pity, I'm really old. If it was ten years ago, I would definitely not miss it..."

Hanzo made a regretful voice.

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 a loser.

But the legend of demigods... doesn't seem to matter anymore.

The world is like this, the winner controls everything and the loser loses everything.

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

Her long, light yellow hair was spread in front of her face, and blood flowed from her forehead, gathered on her chin, and dripped down to the ground mixed with rainwater.

"Ninjas have no value except fighting. The rest of my life will be full of regrets... Well, forget it, old lady, I will take the first step and wait for you below..."

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

Looking at Hanzo's body that was starting to get cold, Chiyo took a deep breath and was almost killed.

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

However, what surprised Chiyo was that the black dragon did not disappear because of Hanzo's death. Instead, it began to lose control like a beast that had lost its restraints and fell into a violent killing spree.

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

Chiyo's expression changed drastically, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Could it be that this black dragon absorbs the life force of the magician and grows? Damn it! This old man with a snorkel still has such a magic technique!"

Only in this way can we explain clearly why the black dragon can maintain its form and continue fighting even after Hanzo died.

I'm afraid that before the life force and chakra in the black dragon's body dissipates, it will continue to attack the living beings around it.

Or until all living people within a certain range die.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Chiyo couldn't care less about the pain of his broken arm. There was little point in staying to deal with this black dragon.

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

Including the unknown deadly poison.

Thinking of this, even if he accidentally broke his arm, it would not be so difficult to accept.

A figure rushed out of the earth at this time, with arms dyed black that were harder than steel, and directly smashed two puppets wearing white robes with rough techniques.

Then he grabbed Hanzo's body with a very skillful technique and thrust towards the weakest point of Sunagakure's encirclement at an extremely fast speed.

This person is Kakuto.

He had been looking for an opportunity to steal Hanzo's body and get rid of the several Sunagakure jounin who were watching him, and now he finally got his wish.

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

There was a black creature flying in the sky, continuously spraying thunder and lightning from its mouth, clearing the way for Kakuzu in front.

After getting the corpse worth 100 million taels, Kakuzu was in a happy mood while escaping.

"Stop him!"

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

The surrounding Sunagakure ninjas also reacted and chased Kakuzu.

How could the trophies that Sunagakure had finally obtained be easily taken away by others?

If that's the case, it's not just a simple matter of losing face for them Sunagakure.

Some of them went to hunt Kakuzu, and Chiyoya deployed his troops to retreat.

The black dragon was obviously in a state of ownerlessness and out of control, and the best option was to wait for it to self-destruct.

Even so, when fleeing, dozens of ninjas were accidentally attacked by the black dragon and died, making people itchy with anger, but they did not dare to challenge the majesty of the black dragon.

"That old man with a snorkel died and left behind such a big trouble..."

She wondered if Hanzo's sneak attack on her was because his life force was about to be absorbed and exhausted by the black dragon, and she wanted to die with her before he died.

Just as they were retreating from the battlefield, a Sunagakure ninja came running over in a hurry.

"Master Chiyo!"

"What's up?"

Chiyo remembered that this Sunagakure ninja was one of the sensory ninjas of the Sunagakure force ambushing Konoha.

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

There were about 3,500 ninjas besieging Ugakure, and Konoha was restrained to prevent Konoha from supporting Ugakure's main force, there were more than 2,000 ninjas, led by his younger brother Ebizo and Jonoura Sagakure.

"Ebizo-sama and Rasa Jounin ask Chiyo-sama to rush back to the camp as soon as possible!"

"What's wrong?"

"We did not encounter Konoha troops there."

"What!"

Chiyo's voice suddenly increased, and his face suddenly turned pale.

No encounter with Konoha troops! ?

How can this be?

Could it be that--

"Damn Orochimaru!"

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

Got fooled.

Not only them Sunagakure, but also Hanzo.

All were tricked by Orochimaru.

That guy planned to treat Hanzo as an abandoned child from the beginning, and fight with Sunagakure to lose both sides.

In order to be safe, I brought a total of 6,000 ninjas out 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 Sunagakure has worked hard to collect for several years.

Sunagakure is not the biggest winner in this battle, Konoha is the biggest winner.

"Those people are Akatsuki."

Behind a rock is a middle-aged ninja wearing a forehead protector.

This person was Kanzo who betrayed Hanzo.

Seeing the Akatsuki fighting against the Sunagakure ninja in the distance, he frowned.

He hid here just to prevent Hanzo from finding him and killing him at all costs, and also to monitor the surrounding situation.

"If I let them escape, it may be detrimental to my future rule of Amegakure."

Although Akatsuki's power is not remarkable among the high-level people, at the bottom of Yuyin Village, it has quite a reputation.

Such an existence would definitely hinder Yuyin after his rule.

It would be great if Sunagakure 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 Sand hidden at a very fast speed. Encirclement.

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

Kanzang couldn't help but be amazed.

He thought that the ninjas in Akatsuki were just 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, and 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 uncertain, and his figure disappeared behind the rock.

"Xiaonan, let's go quickly!"

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

Konan didn't hesitate and ran away with Nagato.

These sand hidden ninjas are very powerful, even Nagato is relatively reluctant to deal with them.

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

Facing the fearless sand ninja who is not afraid of death, Nagato also really 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 land 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 Hanzo-sama die?"

Looking at the rain falling from the sky, Xiao Nan asked this question.

Nagato was silent.

"..."

Xiao Nan also knew that the answer to this question was a bit heavy.

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

What is the future for the Land of Rain that has lost the protection of the demigod?

Xiaonan's eyes showed confusion for the first time.

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

Nagato said suddenly.

"The village?"

Xiaonan was a little puzzled.

"It's really strange that the troops led by Hanzo-sama easily fell into Sunagakure's ambush."

"You mean—"

Xiaonan's face changed slightly.

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

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

◎

"Are you Amegakure's ninjas?"

The Akatsuki who were escaping suddenly encountered dozens of ninjas blocking their way in the middle of the Grand Canyon.

"You are……"

The ninjas blocking their way were wearing Konoha Ninja forehead protectors, 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 force was ambushed by Sunagakure on the road... How is the situation on your side?"

A ninja wearing Konoha ANBU costume came out.

There were more or less scars on his body, as well as on the other Konoha ninjas. It was obvious that they had experienced a hard battle before.

Hearing this Konoha Anbu asking about Amegakure's battle situation, everyone in the Akatsuki fell silent, and Yahiko also fell silent and did not speak.

"Yeah?"

The Konoha Anbu who came out also sighed, walked up and patted one of them on the shoulder to comfort him:

"It doesn't matter, just escape. I'll send you to have a rest first."

Poof!

The kunai stabbed into the chest of the Akatsuki member.

The Akatsuki member looked at the mask on the face of the Konoha ANBU in disbelief.

"Why... why..."

His eyes were filled with pain and confusion.

I don't understand why Konoha, as an ally, wants to attack a friendly ninja like him.

Konoha ANBU didn't bother to talk nonsense, kicked the person in front of him away, then waved his hand and said in a cold voice:

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

"Are you crazy?"

Yahiko couldn't believe that the ninjas of Konoha would be cruel to 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 Mimicry!

A ninja wearing Konoha Anbu costumes used this technique, and he was obviously from the Nara clan of Konoha.

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

Afterwards, the sound of the body being cut open with a sharp weapon kept coming.

Nagato, Konan... Yahiko only had this thought in his mind before he lost consciousness.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Kanzo came out from behind a rock and said with a smile: "You are indeed a subordinate of Lord Danzo. His attacks are really sharp and swift."

"We just have to get the job done."

"Then there is a red-haired boy and a blue-haired girl left. They will return here soon. Be careful about the red-haired boy. He will use the strange ability to bounce away all the objects around him. Ninjutsu, but it cannot be used continuously. There will be some interval between the next use."

Kanzo told the leading Konoha Anbu about the information he had observed about Nagato... no, he should be a ninja from the roots of Konoha.

"Don't worry, it is our agreement to help you win the position of leader of Amegakure. From now on, the Kingdom of Rain will be a subsidiary country of the Country of Fire, and Amegakure Village will also be a subsidiary ninja village of Konoha."

"Of course. When I return, I will kill all of Hanzo's wives, sons, and grandsons. Everything about Hanzo will disappear from Amegakure. Please tell Lord Danzo and let him be as at ease as possible. Then, I'll leave first. , I am looking forward to your good news in Yuyin."

Kanzang smiled happily and disappeared in front of Konoha Root 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 Yuyin ninjas who could threaten his position as the leader of Yuyin for Kanzang.

In the future, Amegakure Village will serve as a ninja village affiliated with Konoha. 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, and Ume Hikage is also in his bag. He really deserves to be one of the three ninja Orochimaru. The road is smooth and there is no threat.”

Therefore, Konoha will usher in an era when the Fourth Hokage and the Roots join forces to create an earth-shaking great cause.

Immersed in such a beautiful blueprint for the future, Root 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 on the ground, the two of them were suddenly confused. Their minds went blank and they could hardly think of anything.

Yahiko is dead.

Everyone in Akatsuki also died.

What's going on?

Are you dreaming?

Why haven't you woke up from this dream?

"How could this happen... This is impossible... Everyone... Yahiko... Yahiko! Wake up!"

Tears flowed out of Xiaonan's eyes, looking at the cold corpse's face. The smile full of vitality and sunshine could no longer be seen.

What lay on the ground was just a cold corpse.

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

Out of breath.

Breathing hard.

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

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

"Yahiko..."

As he was talking, a sizzling voice sounded.

Nagato, who was in grief, immediately realized something was wrong and opened Yahiko's chest clothes, which contained a large number of detonating symbols.

Nagato and Konan's pupils suddenly shrank.

boom!

The bursting fire engulfed their bodies.

Nagato held Konan's body and rolled on the ground, and a painful groan came out of 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.

"Xonan, be careful!"

The moment the detonating talisman exploded, Nagato became aware of the presence of 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.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Nagato raised his hand and released a fierce repulsive force. All kunai and shurikens were bounced away, and the kunai with the detonating talisman tied to it exploded in the sky.

"Go! Kill them!"

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

"...Konoha ninja..."

The clothes of these people, as well as ninja forehead protectors, and the shadows stretching out from the darkness, are the shadow ninjutsu used only by the Nara clan.

Nagato instantly recognized the identity of these attackers, who were ninjas from Konoha.

In the same village as their teacher Jiraiya.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The powerful repulsive force caused the root ninja who was rushing forward to be ejected directly, rolling onto the ground in a panic.

Shinra Tenzheng can bounce away objects, but it cannot bounce back against incorporeal spells like shadow.

However, Nagato did not dodge and allowed the lengthening shadow of the root ninja to enter his own shadow.

"The shadow imitation technique was successful."

The root ninja spat out cold words.

"Did you kill these people?"

Nagato didn't care that his body was controlled by the shadow imitation technique, but asked this question.

"This is such a pointless question and answer."

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

"Aren't Amegakure and Konoha allies?"

"Submitting to the power of Konoha is enough. Amegakure, who has lost Hanzo, is just a watchdog of our Konoha."

"Yeah?"

Nagato's tone was lifeless, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.

Seeing Nagato's silence, the surrounding Konoha ninjas felt a bad premonition in their hearts for some reason.

"Stop talking nonsense to him and kill them both!"

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

According to the information given by Kanzo, the ninjutsu that bounces off objects cannot be used continuously. Seize the 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.

An extremely terrifying chakra was brewing in Nagato's body, blowing his red hair flying, and his samsara eyes widened, splitting with ferocious bloodshot threads.

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

Nagato bit his finger, ignored the restraint ability of the shadow imitation technique, slapped his palm on the ground hard, and shouted loudly:

"Psychic art: Heretic Golem!"

First, two huge wooden palms broke out of the ground, and then a withered wooden body. The breath that rippled out made people tremble from the soul.

The huge monster body, like a mountain, tore open its huge mouth and roared loudly, making a roar that shook the world.

The power of sound waves travels through the air.

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

"Then, what is that?"

The root ninja was horrified.

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

The monster lowered its head, spit out one after another slender black sticks from its mouth, and pierced Nagato's back accurately.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

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

"Is that kid crazy?"

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

The Konoha ninjas did not dare to step forward, thinking that Nagato was already in a state of mad delirium.

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

A large amount of chakra flows out of the body, and the chakra is transmitted through the black rod stabbed into his back from the monster's mouth, and flows into the monster's mouth, brewing some dangerous power inside.

The black rod broke, and Nagato fell to the ground, gasping for air.

The face became thinner, and a creepy smile appeared on his mouth, ferocious and sinister.

"Go to hell, go to hell..."

He cursed like this.

While the Konoha ninjas were hesitating, the monster made new movements again.

Purple light emitted from the huge mouth, and a purple chakra dragon flew out of the monster's mouth without any warning.

The flying speed of the purple chakra dragon was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it swept more than a dozen Konoha ninjas into its body.

The body's shell fell to the ground, and the illusory spirit body was swallowed up as food for the purple chakra dragon.

"Run quickly! That thing can directly swallow the soul!"

The Konoha ninjas who saw this scene were filled with fear. 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, and wherever it passes, the souls of Konoha ninjas that it touches are all separated from the body.

"Vientiane Tianyin!"

Nagato's palm pointed at the Konoha ninjas who were about to escape in one direction, and those Konoha ninjas flew towards Nagato's side disobediently.

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 two teams of root ninjas, plus dozens of Konoha ninjas from the Shimura clan, were completely 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 was still too reluctant to use this technique now, and almost couldn't hold on.

"Nagato, are you okay?"

Konan ran over and helped Nagato's body up.

Nagato's hands and feet were cold, his body was thin, and his face was slightly distorted. You can imagine how much pain he was enduring alone.

"I...I'm fine, Xiaonan...it's not safe here, let's leave quickly..."

Nagato held up his body to show 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.
