Chapter 112 Hanzo and Yahiko
Along the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, the Rain Ninja, following Hanzo's orders, strengthened their defenses and conducted continuous patrols.
Higashi no Shijin led the Iwa ninja to infiltrate behind the Rain ninja's lines, captured a group of Rain ninja, interrogated them, and quickly obtained the latest intelligence.
"Oh, Hanzo led the main force of the Rain Ninja to attack the Akatsuki? Hehehe, that's great! Report this to Lord Huangtu immediately. No matter how the battle between the Rain Ninja and the Akatsuki ends, they won't be able to provide timely support here. This is the perfect opportunity for our attack!"
"Yes!"
Having confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence, the Eastern Dead Man decisively launched an attack. Caught off guard, the Rain Ninja lost many of their men at the outset and immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
The number of Rain Ninjas is dwindling, the defense line is in grave danger, and they will be completely wiped out soon.
Upon receiving news of the Eastern Dead, Huang Tu immediately ordered his troops to accelerate their march, preparing to invade the Land of Rain before Hanzo could react, establish a solid battle line, and prevent the war from spreading to the Land of Earth.
At this time, Hanzo was unaware that the Iwa ninja were about to launch a large-scale invasion and was leading the Amegakure ninja to Maple Leaf Canyon.
"Lord Hanzo, we have spotted ninjas fighting ahead!"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Hanzo did not stop: "Hmph, I want to see who it is this time who's causing trouble in the Land of Rain!"
"Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!"
Yahiko used Wind Release to slice through the body of the enemy in front of him, then turned his greatsword around and slashed down, killing the last enemy.
"Damn it, I need to get back quickly and warn Nagato and the others to prepare for battle. Hanzo will attack soon!"
Looking at the enemy's headband, Yahiko felt anger, sadness, and helplessness, but he still accepted the cruel reality and turned to return to Maple Leaf Canyon, only to hear a loud shout behind him.
"Yahiko! How dare you kill one of our Rain Ninja! I will kill you today!"
Yahiko looked around and saw a large number of Rain Ninja standing on the surrounding tree branches, surrounding him with eyes full of hatred.
The schemes of the Iwa ninja, coupled with a twist of fate, led all the Amegakure ninja, including Hanzo, to believe that the Akatsuki were their enemies.
Originally, Hanzo wanted to question the Akatsuki and give them a chance to explain, but looking at the Rain Ninja on the ground, Hanzo felt that all of this was unnecessary.
In Hanzo's mind, the Akatsuki were weak. He had already humbled himself by cooperating with them, and he had given them chances time and time again these past few days, but they actually betrayed him!
If he were to say another word to Yahiko at this point, he would no longer be the "demigod" who was once a powerful figure in the ninja world!
"Kill him!"
Upon receiving Hanzo's order, many Rain Ninja immediately took action.
Compared to Hanzo, these Rain Ninja had long been dissatisfied with the semi-independent Akatsuki organization: We are all Rain Ninja, so why do you have all sorts of privileges!
With the instigation of the Iwa ninja spies, the Amegakure ninja could no longer suppress their killing intent!
Looking at the Rain Ninjas all around, Yahiko, who had just finished a battle, disregarded his physical exhaustion, planted his greatsword in the ground, and formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Pillar Formation!"
Seven enormous water columns shot from the ground into the sky, spinning back and forth like tornadoes, knocking away the rain ninjas who were approaching Yahiko.
"A pointless struggle! Fire Release: Flying Explosion Flame Formation!"
Hanzo formed a hand seal, and ten explosive tags flew up, rushing towards Yahiko from all angles!
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
Yahiko used Water Release for defense; a powerful and abundant current of water flowed rapidly around him, forming a defense with no blind spots.
Seeing this, Hanzo revealed a disdainful expression: "A mere water barrier won't be able to defend against my ninjutsu."
These explosive tags were specially made by Hanzo using secret techniques. They contain powerful chakra and have extremely strong explosive power.
The detonating tags struck the walls of the water array, causing continuous explosions.
The first explosion only caused the water array walls to shake slightly.
The second explosion caused the water array walls to tremble violently.
The third explosion caused the water flow in the water array to become turbulent, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities.
With the fourth explosion, the water array walls began to collapse, and amidst the flames, numerous streams of water splashed onto the ground.
The fifth explosion blasted a gap in the water barrier, and the remaining explosive tags not only widened the gap, but the flames and shockwaves also directly attacked Yahiko.
"Damn, what a powerful explosion!"
Seeing that his water-style defense had been forced to retreat, Yahiko was taken aback. He immediately stepped back and raised his greatsword in his right hand to block the impact of the explosion.
"die!"
The shock of the explosion had not yet subsided when Yahiko, who was retreating, heard Hanzo's cold voice behind him.
With his extensive combat experience, Hanzo had already anticipated Yahiko's escape route and was now waiting in the direction of his retreat, his sharp scythe raised high, ready to kill Yahiko as soon as he walked into his trap.
To outsiders, it seemed as if Yahiko was willingly walking into the clutches of the scythe, a look of utter defiance.
"Is this Hanzo's strength? As expected of a demigod... Nagato... I entrust everything to you..."
As he faced death, time seemed to stand still, and Yahiko was already reflecting on the past.
puff.
The scythe pierced Yahiko's left shoulder, severing his scapula. The poison on the blade quickly seeped into Yahiko's flesh, turning the area around the wound purple.
Hanzo pressed down hard with his right hand, which was gripping the scythe, preparing to sever Yahiko's body.
"Yahiko! Shinra Tenzheng!!!"
An invisible repulsive force quickly appeared, and trees, rain, and many rain ninjas were directly blown away by the unseen force. Even the dark clouds in the sky thinned out considerably.
"what happened?"
Seeing that a gap had been opened in the encirclement of the Rain Ninja, Hanzo turned his head and saw three Nagatos, Konan, and Ooka Shin rushing over.
Taking advantage of the opening created by Nagato, Konan and Ooka Shin rushed towards Hanzo.
"Paper Shuriken!"
Under Konan's control, hundreds of sharp pieces of paper flew rapidly in front of Hanzo.
"Hmph, Akatsuki reinforcements? Water Flicker Technique!"
Hanzo turned into a puddle of water and was shattered by the water shuriken.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ooka Shin rushed to Yahiko's side, knelt down, embraced the collapsing Yahiko with his left hand, and brandished his short sword with his right hand to block the shuriken shot by the rain ninja.
"You disobedient bunch..."
Upon seeing Nagato and the other two, Yahiko, despite blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, revealed a bright smile.
"If you're not dead, shut up. The situation is so dangerous right now, I'm not in the mood to listen to your lovey-dovey farewells!"
Ooka Shin directly retorted to Yahiko. At this moment, Konan and Nagato also ran over, one in front and one behind the surrounding Rain Ninja, shielding Yahiko behind them.
"How is Yahiko?!"
Nagato stared intently at the numerous Rain Ninja ahead, and asked in a hesitant tone.
Ooka Shin simply said, "He won't die now, but he's been poisoned. We need to leave quickly and find a way to cure him!"
As he spoke, Ooka Shin glanced at Hanzo in front of the Rain Ninja, feeling rather unsure of himself.
Hanzo was able to severely injure Yahiko without even using a summoning jutsu; his strength is truly astounding!
Back in the day, even when the three young Sannin joined forces and led the Konoha Ninja Army, they still couldn't defeat Hanzo.
In that battle, the Rain Village lost, but Hanzo won, single-handedly stopping Konoha's invasion of the Land of Rain.
Now, with Yahiko seriously injured, and Nagato, Konan, and Ooka Shin themselves not necessarily possessing the strength of the Sannin in their youth, and without the support of the ninja army, Ooka Shin truly sees no hope of victory.
