Chapter 66: Hanzō Turns into Shinda

Hanzō saw Tsunade and the other two chasing high - level Rain ninjas out of the battlefield. The corners of his mouth under the mask curled up.

"Here I am, kid."

Hearing this, Kawaki looked over. Hanzō was standing on a big tree not far from the battlefield.

The kusarigama was still being swung. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was playing with a windmill.

"I'd like to see how many water clones you have."

Kawaki didn't know if the one in front of him was the real body, but he knew that water clones couldn't be too far from the real body.

He fished out some special senbon from his ninja tool bag and threw them at Hanzō. Old Tie's workmanship was really good.

The special senbon flew more than twice as fast as ordinary senbon.

In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Hanzō.

Hanzō dodged them with a flash, but the next moment, Kawaki had appeared beside him.

Without hesitation, he stabbed the eight - sided Han sword into Hanzō's heart.

"You're strong, but unfortunately, this is still just a clone."

After saying that, Hanzō turned into a water clone and dissipated.

At this time, Kawaki felt that something was wrong. How could a powerful Demi - God only use water clones to take beatings?

Before he could continue to think, Hanzō's voice rang out again not far away.

"Don't you want to see how many clones I have?"

Kawaki looked back at the battlefield. Dai and Sakumo were still leading the Konoha ninjas to massacre the Rain ninjas.

But Tsunade and the other two were nowhere to be seen. It seemed that he had caught a clue.

But Hanzō was right in front of him, so Tsunade and the others should be in no danger.

Thinking of this, Kawaki didn't hesitate anymore. He made up his mind to deal with Hanzō first.

He rushed forward again, and he was getting farther and farther away from the battlefield.

Lightning - attribute chakra gathered on the sword, and its tip started to stretch out. In a flash, Hanzō was in the attack range.

In Hanzō's terrified eyes, Kawaki waved the sword gently, and a large number of trees in the forest were swept down.

"Found you."

With a smile on his lips, Kawaki found another Hanzō hiding behind a big tree on the side.

"Damn it."

Hanzō cursed and formed hand seals with both hands.

Water Release: Explosive Water Wave.

He spat out a huge amount of water towards Kawaki, forming a small lake in the forest.

"Too slow."

Kawaki teleported to avoid it. Lightning flashed, and he reached Hanzō's side at high speed.

He held the eight - sided Han sword high and was about to chop down. He was determined to land this blow.

Summoning Jutsu.

Hanzō cast spells in succession, knowing that he couldn't avoid Kawaki's speed.

After a puff of smoke, Kawaki's sword was blocked by a hard object.

A giant conch emerged in front of him. It had two horns at the front of its shell and barnacles on its body. The sword had just chopped down on the shell.

It left a deep mark on the shell, but the strong counter - shock force also made Kawaki take a step back and stand in the water.

"You're not Hanzō."

Kawaki looked terrified. Tsunade and the others were in danger.

"It's too late to realize now."

After a puff of smoke, Hanzō turned into Sanshōuo Shinda.

Ninjutsu: Conch Whip.

Multiple fleshy whips shot out from the conch's body and lashed towards Kawaki.

"I don't have time to entangle with you. I'll deal with you right now."

Kawaki waved his sword and cut off all the incoming whips.

He continued to rush towards Sanshōuo Shinda on the lake.

Ninjutsu: Conch Spear

The barnacles on the Conch fired black spears, aiming straight at Kawaki.

"Lightning Flash."

With a draw - cut strike, the spears were shattered, and Kawaki arrived in front of the conch.

In the next second, he could cut Shinda's neck.

But Shinda was well - prepared, and the conch shell slowly opened.

Water Release Genjutsu: Misty Phantom Prison

Snowflakes floated out of the conch's body, covering Kawaki.

His movements slowly became sluggish. A feeling of being covered by snow came over him, and gradually he couldn't move.

Kawaki was caught in Shinda's genjutsu.

"What a so - called sword master? You're just so - so."

A smile began to appear on Shinda's face. He took out a kunai and stepped forward to give Kawaki a fatal blow.

"Sage Art."

Kawaki didn't move, but red cursed seals appeared around his eyes, and his pupils turned golden.

The genjutsu was instantly broken under the impact of the sage chakra.

Lightning Speed

Kawaki passed through Shinda with his sword, and the eight - sided Han sword disappeared from his hand.

"Tsunade, wait for me."

Kawaki didn't feel the mark of the Flying Raijin yet. He rushed in the direction where Tsunade left.

He didn't even say hello to Sakumo and Dai.

There was still a smile on Shinda's face. He held a kunai in his hand, and there were no wounds on his body.

After he fell to the ground, he split into two, and his blood dyed the lake red, spreading in circles.

～～～～～Dividing Line～～～～～～

Tsunade and the other two chased the Rain ninja expert to a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one gap.

"You can't escape."

Orochimaru noticed that the Rain ninja expert was slowing down. He took the lead and chased after him, slashing with his sword.

Several giant snakes also flew out of his left sleeve.

"Why should I still run?"

The voice of the Rain ninja expert came through the mask, and the pride in his words was obvious.

Orochimaru felt that this voice was extremely familiar.

"The same move won't work on me."

After a puff of smoke, the Rain ninja expert transformed into the appearance of Hanzō.

Orochimaru's snakes were cut off, and his sword was locked by a chain.

If he hadn't discarded his sword quickly enough, Hanzō's next sword would have stabbed him.

"Hanzō of the Salamander."

Tsunade also saw the situation clearly at this time. They had fallen into a trap.

It was a trap set by Hanzō.

Orochimaru stepped back and stood with Tsunade and Jiraiya.

The Konoha ninjas and the Rain ninjas were in a chaotic battle again in the valley.

"Salamander!"

Hanzō shouted.

"Wow～"

The Sanshōuo that had emerged from the ground had been lying in ambush for a long time. It spat a cloud of poison mist towards the battlefield.

The Konoha ninjas took Tsunade's antidote pills immediately. However, they were still greatly affected.

Their movements became sluggish, and the flow of their chakra became unsmooth.

The balance of victory was gradually tilting towards the Rain ninjas. Tsunade and the other two saw this but were helpless.

"You'll stay here today."

Hanzō stood on top of the Sanshōuo and pointed his kusarigama at Tsunade and the other two.

"Fight! Kawaki - kun will come."

"Summoning Jutsu."

Tsunade summoned the Katsuyu Sage first.

"Katsuyu Sage, please help my Konoha ninjas first."

"Okay, Little Tsunade."

Katsuyu Sage began to split and crawled in all directions towards the Konoha Ninjas.

Finally, the decline of the Konoha Ninjas was temporarily halted.

"Summoning Jutsu." Twice consecutively.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru summoned Manda and Bunta respectively.

"Another giant salamander! Ugh."

Manda was a bit frustrated. It really couldn't defeat this creature.

"Jiraiya, did you drag me here just to deal with this fish?"

Although Bunta's current size couldn't match that of Sanshōuo, it showed no sign of fear. Holding a pipe in its mouth, it had already drawn out the tantō on its body.

Well, a tantō.

"Yes, don't be careless. The opponent is very strong."

Jiraiya looked solemn. From the fight between Hanzō and Orochimaru just now, he knew this battle would be tough.

"Charge."

Tsunade directly activated the Strength of a Hundred Technique. The Cursed Seal climbed up her cheeks.

She dashed towards Sanshōuo first, sending gravel flying everywhere as she passed.

It seemed that she was quite frugal with property at Kawaki's place.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain."

Tsunade leaped high into the air and stomped heavily on Sanshōuo's head.
