Fighting Salamander Hanzo

"Little one, I appreciate you. You'll definitely have a place in the ninja world in the future!"

Hanzo looked at Qinglong and couldn't help but praise him. He always appreciated juniors who didn't threaten him and wasn't stingy with his compliments.

"You flatter me! But do you think saying that will make me let him go?"

Qinglong pointed at the umbrella of the leading Jonin, his gaze unwavering.

"What? You dare not listen to what Hanzo, the 'Demigod' of our ninja world, has to say?"

"Let him go, and I guarantee you'll leave the Land of Rain safely."

Hanzo said with a mighty and imposing wave of his hand. He really appreciated this genius kid from Konoha and had no intention of killing him.

Qinglong put away his umbrella and turned to Hanzo.

"You want me to let him go with just a word? So, if I let him go, will your Amegakure guarantee us safe passage out of the Land of Rain?"

"Yes! I promise, if you let him go, I'll guarantee your safe departure from the Land of Rain."

"Oh! And that car, sell it to us. Name your price!"

Hanzo said grandly, seemingly certain that Qinglong would obediently release the ninja.

"Salamander Hanzo, still as arrogant as ever!"

Tsunade, leaning against the window, was annoyed. But she still hoped Qinglong would let the Amegakure Jonin go. After all, Salamander Hanzo was a formidable opponent.

But is my disciple, Tsunade, someone to be bullied?

Tsunade used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared on the street. The sight of the beautiful ninja on the street made all the surrounding ninjas' eyes light up.

"Salamander Hanzo, bullying my disciple Tsunade, do you take me for a nobody!"

"Yo! It's Tsunade Hime, one of the Sannin!"

Hanzo grinned. The title "Sannin" was even bestowed by him. The "Sannin" who were revered by others were merely titles he easily gave to his defeated opponents.

"Long time no see. I heard you got into gambling after the war. What brings you to the Land of Rain!"

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted.

"I can come to the Land of Rain whenever I please!"

"We welcome Tsunade Hime's visit to the Land of Rain!"

Hanzo said with a smile. He was very tolerant of ninjas who posed no threat to him.

The Jonin, leaning against the wall, couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

I'm injured here, you bastard. Stop chatting and get someone to heal me!

Hanzo glanced at his subordinate leaning against the wall before returning to the topic.

"Is there some misunderstanding? Tell your disciple to let that Jonin go."

"There's no misunderstanding. Your subordinate attacked my disciple, so he deserves to be injured!"

Tsunade said coldly, showing no intention of backing down.

"He's also injured. This evens things out. And your car, I'll buy it! Then I'll let you leave."

Hanzo's words now settled the matter, his tone overbearing and resolute, leaving no room for doubt!

"Not selling!"

Qinglong flatly refused.

"Brat! I'm talking to your teacher, what right do you have to interrupt!"

Hanzo was furious, his aura surging. When important figures were conversing, it wasn't a junior's place to speak.

Tsunade's aura erupted in response, the wind whipping up the hem of her clothes. She stood in the center of the swirling wind like a war goddess.

Their auras clashed on the street, the strong winds kicking up countless raindrops that scattered everywhere.

"What my disciple says she won't sell, she won't sell!"

Tsunade said coldly.

"Oh?"

Hanzo's brow furrowed. After so many years, the Sannin he once defeated, now one of them dared to challenge him?

Had the passage of time made people forget the prestige of 'Demigod' Hanzo?

Hanzo's expression grew colder. He had always been arrogant, standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world. How could he tolerate a former subordinate challenging him!

"Teacher Tsunade, please step aside. Let me handle this."

Qinglong moved forward, having long wanted to test his skills against someone of significance.

"Good kid! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Hanzo stared fiercely at Qinglong. This brat, who does he think he is? Even your teacher, along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who formed the 'Sannin', were defeated by me. You weren't even born then!

And you dare bare your fangs at the 'Demigod'? It seems like it's been too long since I've been active, and the world has forgotten the prestige of 'Demigod' Salamander Hanzo!

"Whoosh!"

A single umbrella transformed into a streak of light and flew out. Qinglong answered him with action, the umbrella turning into a sharp longsword that pierced the Jonin by the wall.

"He who kills shall be killed!"

If Qinglong hadn't possessed sufficient strength, he would have already been shot into a fallen hedgehog amidst the rain of senbon.

He had no need to go easy on those who wanted his life!

"Good! Very good!"

Qinglong's movements were too fast, exceeding Hanzo's expectations and leaving him no time to intervene.

At this moment, he was enraged and flung out his weapon, the Chain Scythe.

"Shameless! Using a weapon against a child!"

Tsunade cursed angrily from the side, already preparing to make a move.

Hanzo, by nature arrogant and cautious, went all out with a killing blow from the start.

Hanzo's subordinate guards had already envisioned the scene of that brat dying on the spot.

"Clang!"

The Chain Scythe was sent flying high, "Nani!"

The surrounding Amegakure ninja watched in shock as the scythe was thrown away. This was the first time Hanzo's scythe had failed him in so long, and it happened against a mere child.
