"Pant... pant..."
Through the curtain of rain, a panting figure landed at the edge of the battlefield. Even drenched by the rain, her White Coat could not hide her graceful figure.
As a technician focused on research and development, Hydrangea had limited talent as a ninja. She could not even catch Hanzo's exhaust, but fortunately, she had noticed the commotion caused by Xiao Zi's Tailed Beast Mode and managed to pinpoint the battlefield.
"Lord Hanzo?!"
Hydrangea, who had arrived late, also witnessed Hanzo shedding his skin and being reborn. Beyond her astonishment, there was an inexplicable fanaticism.
That kind of regenerative ability had already surpassed the limits of ordinary humans.
Trembling, she brushed the purple strands stuck to her forehead and obstructing her vision behind her head. If there had not been enemies present, she would have loved nothing more than to draw a huge tube of Hanzo's blood for thorough research.
"That's a Tailed Beast? He can actually contend with a Tailed Beast head-on? What kind of mutation has Lord Hanzo's body undergone?"
As her gaze fell upon Xiao Zi's roaring Tailed Beast Mode, Hydrangea, hiding in a safe area and watching, looked even more horrified.
After all, throughout the Ninja World's recorded history, only a handful of people had ever been able to confront a Tailed Beast with a human body. Hanzo was strong, but he had not reached the heights of legend.
"I'd like to know that too."
Just as Hydrangea racked her brains, trying to recall whether she had overlooked any details in Hanzo's operating room, a cold voice that sounded inhuman suddenly spoke behind her.
"Who's there?!"
Hydrangea had not noticed when a stranger had approached her. Her hairs instantly stood on end, and she instinctively tried to pull away from the person behind her.
