Everything was shrouded in mystery.
Judging from Hanzo's words, declaring war on Konoha seems to be more than just conspiring with Danzo to kill Shiyu.
"That's right. Hanzo founded Amegakure and can be considered a demigod. How could a powerful figure like him declare war on Konoha just because of Danzo's goals? Hanzo definitely has other motives!" Shiyu concluded.
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Shiyu glanced at Hanzo indifferently, then quickly pretended not to have seen anything. Although Shiyu was covered by a cloth, Shiyu still caught Danzo's gaze.
Danzo just had murderous intent.
"Hanzo, haven't we already reached a truce since the Second Shinobi World War? Konoha hasn't invaded you, so why are you declaring war on Konoha?" Danzo probed.
"Haha! Danzo, don't be nervous. Actually, I didn't really want to go to war with Konoha. I had no choice but to make this decision." Hanzo also looked helpless.
"What exactly does this guy want?"
Not only did Shiyu think this way, but even Danzo couldn't understand it.
Shiyu couldn't stand Hanzo any longer, so she snapped, "Hanzo? Stop pretending to be all girly! If you want Konoha's help, just send a request directly. Why threaten Konoha with war?!"
"Shiyu, don't make any rash moves. Danzo didn't want to ruin his plans, and more importantly, he was afraid that Hanzo might kill him in a fit of rage."
"You brat! You've got some nerve! Interrupting me time and time again? Do you think you can intimidate me just because you're Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple?" Hanzo of the Salamander's words were laced with threat.
"Guards! Seal this brat! Gag him!"
"Danzo, quickly release the Five Elements Seal for me!" Shiyu urged immediately, determined to play his part completely.
Danzo completely ignored what Shiyu said, a slight smile playing on his lips, and stepped aside, watching helplessly Shiyu was surrounded by Amegakure Hanzo's elite guards.
"A powerful figure? Hiding in the shadows and manipulating everything? What a coward!" Shiyu mocked coldly.
"Young man, to achieve great things, you must pay attention to details. What has allowed me to stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World is not just strength, but also caution and prudence, which has allowed me to live this long."
"And you will pay with your life for your foolishness and loose tongue, Danzo? Are you going to be my enemy too?" Hanzo asked.
Danzo stood aside, watching Shiyu with indifference, secretly gloating.
Hanzo didn't hear Danzo's response, knowing that Danzo was on his side. He then waved his hand, and the ninjas surrounding Shiyu rushed towards him.
"Hanzo, it seems you don't know me at all. Sorry, but today I'll show you what I'm capable of." Even though Shiyu was Five Elements Seal, she could still use her Taijutsu. Besides, Shiyu had already secretly lifted the seal long ago.
The ninjas of Amegakure are skilled in assassination and Genjutsu, but they are obviously ineffective against Shiyu Genjutsu, which has no eyes. No matter how strong the Genjutsu is, if the opponent cannot see it, it is unsolvable.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The elite Amegakure rushed towards Shiyu like a gust of wind, intending to eliminate him as quickly as possible.
Shiyu didn't bring a sword and had to pretend to be sealed, so all he could do was use Taijutsu.
However, what level is Shiyu's Taijutsu?! Not to mention his superhuman strength, which requires chakra control, but the Hyuga's Gentle Fist doesn't require a lot of chakra, the Might Guy's Strong Fist relies purely on physical strength, and the energy of ultimate Taijutsu like the Eight Inner Gates is something that Samehada cannot absorb.
Under the attacks of the Amegakure, Shiyu quickly began to "dance," using his sensory abilities to dodge and counterattack his enemies. Shiyu did not need eyes or chakra; he used instinct and physical strength to instantly defeat countless Amegakure.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"
"Konoha Violent Whirlwind!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Shiyu frequently used the Might Guy's Strong Fist, constantly knocking his enemies away. Amegakure in the area, and the vast majority of them were knocked to the ground by Shiyu.
Danzo was also greatly surprised.
"He lost his Sharingan! How come his sensory abilities have increased? He can't see anything. This is unbelievable! His chakra was sealed by the Third Hokage's Seal Technique... Could it be that he was only using Taijutsu!? How can he have such power?"
Not only was Danzo shocked, but even Hanzo was taken aback.
"This is Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple? He managed to defeat so many of my elite guards using only Taijutsu?"
"This kid's potential is definitely greater than that of the Danzo Konoha Sannin? Why did Danzo want to kill him?" Hanzo was also puzzled.
"Hanzo! This kid is amazing!"
"We... we are no match for them at all."
What should I do?
Hanzo shook his head and said, "Alright, if you can't win, then step down."
"It was I who underestimated this young ninja from Konoha." After this commotion, Hanzo became much more polite, which puzzled Shiyu.
"I've heard that Amegakure Hanzo values talent, and that's certainly true." In return, Hanzo was much more polite to Shiyu naturally returned the compliment, intending to observe the situation quietly.
Hanzo stepped out from behind the screen, revealing his true form.
He had a filter stuffed in his mouth, a scar extending from the lower right side of his face to under his right eye, wore a ninja uniform, Amegakure Helmet, and a kusarigama on his back. His light-colored long hair was draped over his back.
"Kid, you're quite something. If you're willing to break away from Hiruzen Sarutobi and become my disciple, I'll help you reach the pinnacle of the Shinobi World." Hanzo actually extended an olive branch to Shiyu.
Shiyu shook his head. "That's not necessary. Becoming a demigod is not my long-cherished wish, because becoming the strongest in the Shinobi World is merely my goal."
Shiyu's words were quite arrogant, and no one would be happy to hear them, but Hanzo fell into a brief silence.
Is it the strongest?
Danzo, fearing Hanzo would lose his composure, immediately stepped in and asked, "Lord Hanzo, please tell me, what exactly do you want us to do for you?"
Hanzo stepped forward and said, "Originally, I hoped that my subordinates and I, together with the two of you and your subordinates, would help me destroy a detestable organization, but now I think there's no need for that."
"Young Konoha Ninja, you're so strong, you probably don't want your subordinates to die, right? I think you alone should be enough to wipe them out." Hanzo's intentions were finally revealed.
"I see. You want me to wipe out that organization by myself? Then why don't you do it yourself?" Shiyu retorted.
"Why should I do it myself? You're enough!" Hanzo also acted quite forcefully, as if Shiyu had no other choice.
"What's the name of that organization?" Shiyu asked to confirm.
"Dawn!"
