Chapter 137: Hanzo's Death! 【55】
Chapter 137: Hanzo's Death! 【55】
"It's Lord Hanzo!!"
The many ninjas observing from a distance were first startled, then invigorated, as they witnessed the brief clash between Fengye and Salamander Hanzo.
Although they were far away, Fengye's true body's chakra was too powerful and feral, standing out in their perception like a beacon. It couldn't be a clone.
In other words,
Fengye's true body had been struck by Salamander Hanzo's Water Jab Technique!
"Lord Hanzo wins!"
"As expected of Lord Hanzo, even the Silver Flash..."
"After all, Lord Hanzo is the ninja hailed as a demigod in the ninja world!"
Looking at Salamander Hanzo, many Rain Ninjas showed reverence. To them, Salamander Hanzo was the god of Amegakure, single-handedly holding up the entire village and even daring to clash with the great nations, preventing them from conquering their village.
Salamander Hanzo didn't linger in front of Fengye but, fearing a counter-attack from him in his dying moments, decisively thrust his sword forward and jumped backward to create distance.
Both fell toward the ground.
Watching Fengye fall, Hanzo slowly said, "To push me to this extent, you should be proud. Unfortunately, your means and experience fall slightly short..."
But,
Almost the next moment, his voice abruptly stopped.
His pupils contracted sharply, and he showed a look of disbelief.
Behold!
The falling Fengye, bathed in silver light, did not disappear. Instead, as he fell toward the ground, the countless blood droplets that merged with the raindrops all concentrated back into Fengye's body, flying into that cluster of silver light!
"How is this possible?!"
Salamander Hanzo's face changed drastically as he suddenly realized why Fengye hadn't been injured after enduring his exploding tag array. His opponent also had this self-healing ninjutsu!
As Salamander Hanzo's face drained of color, Fengye's Kusanagi sword slashed down, cleaving a silver strand that shot toward his body in mid-air!
"Damn..."
Salamander Hanzo's heart sank as he realized the situation was dire.
His Instantaneous Water Body Technique required him to be in contact with moist earth or water flow to activate, and while he could touch rainwater in the air, he couldn't use the technique!
Unable to teleport, and with almost no way to evade in mid-air, he could only reluctantly swing his short sword to meet Fengye's incoming strike.
"Indeed, it ends here, Hanzo."
Fengye's gaze was calm as he looked at Hanzo, and his Kusanagi sword didn't hesitate, continuing to slash toward Hanzo, instantly cleaving countless swords that sliced toward Hanzo's body.
"No... Stop!!!"
A trace of terror flashed in Salamander Hanzo's eyes.
He couldn't believe that on top of Fengye's incredible speed and powerful chakra, he also had an almost terrifying self-healing ability. He was like a monster!
If he had known this earlier, he should have fled the village from the start instead of trying to fight and stop Fengye.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The time Fengye and Hanzo fell from the air to the ground was short, no more than a few seconds. But in these few seconds, countless silver strands had already engulfed Hanzo!
Neither Fengye nor Hanzo could fly, and there was little they could do while falling. Fengye could still continue to slash while falling, but Hanzo couldn't dodge and hide as he had on the ground!
Therefore,
From the moment Hanzo was forced to use a triple-layered attack in desperation to try and kill Fengye but failed, the outcome of this battle had already been decided!
A few seconds later...
Whoosh!
Fengye landed smoothly on the water's surface.
In front of him, Salamander Hanzo crashed into the water, sending a large splash of water flying in all directions.
Among those splashes were streaks of bright red blood, spreading across the water's surface.
In the distance,
The Rain Ninjas, who had been invigorated, now had their expressions frozen in shock.
They looked at where Salamander Hanzo had fallen, at the bright red blood that floated to the surface, staining the nearby currents, and they felt Salamander Hanzo's chakra gradually weaken and disappear. Unbelief surged in their hearts.
Dead?!
Salamander Hanzo was dead?
The one hailed as a demigod in the ninja world, who held Amegakure by himself, preventing the three great countries from conquering it during the Second Ninja World War?!
Hiss!
Amid countless incredulous gazes, Fengye stepped forward on the water's surface and walked to where Salamander Hanzo had fallen. He lifted his foot and released a surge of chakra.
The nearby shallow water rippled, revealing Salamander Hanzo's body, lying motionless in a pile of rubble.
Pshhh!
Fengye gripped the hilt of the Kusanagi sword and threw it downward, impaling Salamander Hanzo's head and pinning it to the ground.
This scene shattered the last trace of hope in the hearts of the Rain Ninjas, leaving them with a chill that ran from their heads to their toes, as if they were standing in an ice cellar.
Their gazes toward Fengye
All turned to fear!
Then they saw Fengye pull out the Kusanagi sword, turn his head, and look at them.
"...Run!"
No one knew who shouted first, but the nearby Rain Ninjas immediately scattered like startled birds, fleeing in all directions.
...
Two days later, in a hidden location within the Land of Rain.
This was the base established by Yahiko for the Akatsuki organization. Currently, the number of Akatsuki members had increased from nine to eleven in just a few days.
With the growing numbers, the once desolate temporary base was now filled with life. Miyukiko and Konan were pleased that so many people embraced Yahiko's ideals and joined their cause.
"In the blink of an eye, Akatsuki has grown so powerful."
Standing on the second floor, Yahiko looked down at the Akatsuki members gathered on the first floor, chatting excitedly. He said, "We should take Hanzo as our role model and aim to develop to the scale of the Rain Ninja Village. Only then will we have the strength to guide the world towards peace."
Hearing Yahiko's words, one of the members asked, "But Lord Hanzo is a demi-god among ninjas in the ninja world. Do you think we can truly reach that level?"
"That's why we need to work together and strive for it," Yahiko replied with a smile.
He knew that becoming as powerful as Hanzo was incredibly difficult; there was only one Hanzo in the entire ninja world, only one demi-god. However, they had to keep hope and persevere.
Hearing Yahiko's words, Konan and Nagato's eyes lit up with aspiration.
Just then, there was a loud crash!
The door was flung open, and a drenched ninja stood in the doorway. Rainwater dripped from his body, but he was oblivious to it as he panted heavily, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. "Hanzo... Hanzo..."
"What about Hanzo?" Yahiko asked, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Calm down and speak slowly."
The ninja took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the room before he spoke in a trembling voice, "Hanzo is dead... The Rain Ninja Village... It's been destroyed!"
As these words spread throughout the room, an eerie silence fell.
Yahiko and the others widened their eyes in shock, all of them staring at the intruder in disbelief.
"What did you say?!"
"Impossible! Lord Hanzo is a demi-god among ninjas in the ninja world. How could he be killed? How could the Rain Ninja Village be destroyed?!" one of them exclaimed, refusing to accept the news.
The drenched ninja's voice trembled as he replied, "I've confirmed the news. It's true! The one who killed Hanzo is... Konoha's Silver Flash!"
Silver Flash?!
Upon hearing this moniker, Yahiko and the others paled.
After their previous encounter with Fengye, they had been discreetly gathering information about him in the days that followed. Although the Land of Rain was relatively isolated, it was a time of the Great Ninja War, and news still traveled among ninjas.
When they learned the specifics about the Silver Flash, everyone was stunned to discover that he was only eleven years old, yet his battle record was terrifyingly impressive. He had even killed the Raikage, the leader of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Cloud Ninja Village!
Recalling their own encounter with him, they shuddered.
He was a ninja of such terrifying caliber!
"Was it that guy who led the Konoha ninjas to defeat the Rain Ninja Village? I can't believe that even Hanzo, such a powerful ninja, would be killed..." Yahiko murmured, his mind flashing back to Fengye's visage.
At that moment, the drenched ninja, upon hearing Yahiko's voice, shook his head fearfully. "No... It's not like that... The Silver Flash didn't lead any other Konoha ninjas... He single-handedly infiltrated the Rain Ninja Village, killed Hanzo, and destroyed the village!"
As he spoke these words, his face also reflected his disbelief.
When he had first received this intelligence, he couldn't believe it himself. It was only after repeatedly confirming it with several surviving Rain Ninjas that he was certain of the facts.
Bam!!
Yahiko took two steps back involuntarily, his back hitting the wall. He stared at the intruder, unable to process what he was hearing, his mind going blank for a moment.
The others in the room also fell into a similar state of confusion, their minds reeling as the room descended into silence, broken only by the sound of their breathing.
...
Forty-fifth year of the Leaf.
The third year of the Third Great Ninja War.
Silver Flash, Hatake Kakashi, single-handedly infiltrated the Rain Ninja Village and slew their leader, Salamander Hanzo, within their own village, completely crushing the Rain Ninja Village!
When this news spread, the entire ninja world was shaken to its core!
