Chapter 179 Escape
Outside the valley, Orochimaru discovered that several Rain Ninja Jonin teamed up and actually channeled "Great Salamander King"!
Manda For a while, I also felt the toxic side effects starting to appear----
Orochimaru Of course, I have also studied the poison of "Giant Salamander" before, and found that its principle is completely different from that of general toxins. It does not directly corrode or react with the human body, but combines with the nerve synapses to block the normal transmission of nerve signals, causing a paralyzing effect.
General "poison resistance" plays a small role in this aspect----
However, because the snake's own synapses are not sensitive to this type of toxin, Manda is extremely resistant!
The structure of Toad is similar to that of human synapses, and they are also sensitive to this type of toxin, so Gamabunta shows little resistance.
However, now that "Great Salamander King" appears, the toxin's binding force has become stronger, or more adaptable, and the synapses of Manda that were not bound to it originally began to passively bind toxins!
It seems that the toxicity is not more intense or deadly, but it is more universal----
Of course, what's more important is not the toxin of "Great Salamander King". It's just that the poisonous mist can last for a while. The only difference is that Manda also breaks through the defense.
But what Orochimaru is worried about is----
"Great Salamander King" is here, then Hanzō may appear at any time!
Therefore, Orochimaru immediately ordered a retreat.
At the same time, Hanzō, who had already swept through Land of Iron swordsman and great swordsman, looked at the goateeed warrior who had just arrived in front of him----
Three-Eyes, who had already broken an arm, saw Mifune and couldn't help but angrily yelled, "Mifune? Who asked you to come! Didn't I ask you to defend the city? You, you----are you considered a warrior like this?"
"Sorry, Three-Eyes Great Swordsman, as a true samurai, I cannot even see the enemy's face, watch my companions die, and then retreat by myself." Mifune said matter-of-factly.
At the same time, Mifune had been placing his hand on the handle of "Black Marsh", staring at the naked Hanzō in front of him, wearing a gas mask and holding a sickle in his hand.
"You actually came here to die? Interesting--but unfortunately, I don't have time to play with you anymore--Iai?"
Then as you wish, let's decide the outcome in the next move!" Hanzō looked at Mifune's posture and said.
"Iai-ryu" is originally an explosive style that kills with one hit. Hanzō made an appointment with him in one move, and it was fulfilled Mifune!
The two sides were now facing each other far away, locking each other's energy----
Taking advantage of this moment, the other surviving swordsmen and great swordsmen who were still able to move quickly fled.
--
Three-Eyes looked at Mifune, then at Hanzō, then gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. He had asked Mifune to stay behind, and had already thought of saving the fire for Land of Iron. However, his long-term persistence made him unable to accept Chakra Kendo, so he could not speak properly to Mifune----
But now Mifune insists on coming back to die, and he has no choice.
Shuading-
I saw Hanzō holding a sickle, and Mifune in the "Iai" posture missed him.
Mifune fell directly to the ground.
Even if it's just weapons, Mifune's best Iai sword, he is still no match for Hanzō!
At the same time, the poison on the blade of the lock sickle quickly paralyzed Mifune's whole body.
"It seems that----I---- am a dull knife----I can't even protect my companions----" Mifune's consciousness gradually blurred.
The poison of Hanzō is stronger than the contemporary "Great Salamander King". When applied directly to weapons, the effect is even more rapid!
"The end of a person is not death, but the loss of faith. Even if you die here, you are by no means a dull sword - those cowards who fled after hearing my name are the real scrap metal. I will declare to the world that you are fighting to protect your companions Hero. As compensation for killing you, tell me your name!" Hanzō said passionately.
"I ---- use my life in exchange for your promise to let go of my companions! The war ---- is over!" Mifune looked at Hanzō with firm eyes at this time, without saying his name.
There were corpses all around now.
The appearance of Hanzō really disrupted Land of Iron's plan.
But----
Rain Ninja's reinforcements did not show up as scheduled, which was also beyond Hanzō's expectations.
In this case, it is true that if Hanzō continues to hunt down Land of Iron's samurai, it is destined to be unable to expand the results of the battle, but will be taken advantage of by Land of Lightning.
Hanzō was silent for a moment, and then said, "It is extremely difficult to implement your beliefs, but I also have beliefs - to bring real peace to this chaotic Shinobi World!
"I'll give you the antidote and try to survive. If you can survive, you will be able to witness in the future whether I will die for my beliefs or abandon them to survive."
Although he still sounded passionate and heroic, and even took out a tube of unknown liquid and poured it into Mifune's mouth, but----
It can be seen that Hanzō is already shaken in his heart at this time!
After Hanzō discovered that the three major countries were targeting him, he chose a dangerous move and tried to use tactics to capture Severed Mountain City, and then went straight to Three Wolf Mountain--but he still failed.
Just now, Hanzō noticed the call of "Great Salamander King" and immediately understood that something had happened to the ambush troops.
This also means that this time Land of Iron's battle, Rain Ninja is destined to fail, but he has suffered such great damage, which makes Hanzō also start to feel discouraged.
After giving Mifune an antidote that I didn't know was useful, Hanzō made a seal----
Bang -
On the battlefield in the Ambush Valley, "Great Salamander King" used reverse channeling to directly summon Hanzō here!
At the same time, Orochimaru and Jiraiya had already retreated a long distance apart----
Orochimaru's judgment is correct. "Great Salamander King" is channeled, which means Hanzō is not far away!
If they hadn't exchanged some sentimental words with Mifune, Orochimaru and Jiraiya might not have had time to escape.
"Chief! It's the ninjas of Konoha - Orochimaru and Jiraiya. They channeled huge snakes and Toad, blocking the exit of the valley. Especially - especially the Giant Snake, who is not afraid of the poison of Giant Salamander at all!"
--
Rain Ninja will report soon.
"Orochimaru——Aren't you afraid of the poison of Giant Salamander?" Hanzō said, looking to the northeast, Orochimaru and two other small figures in the distance were about to disappear from the field of vision.
"I understand, you go meet up with the remaining troops and then return to Land of Rain." Hanzō understood that with only the remaining people, Land of Iron would definitely not be able to defeat them.
With that said, Hanzō chased after him toward the northeast----
Not afraid of "Giant Salamander"'s Ninja Beast?
This Hanzō must be seen, it is best to avoid future troubles forever!
At this time, Orochimaru took Akaseki and Yakushi Nonō, fled all the way to the northeast, and Jiraiya to the southeast, escaped separately.
In this way, even if one of the parties is caught up by Hanzō, the remaining team can send the information back!
It can be said that the two of them have prepared for the worst----
Facing Hanzō, Orochimaru and Jiraiya who now have the vague arrogance of being the "number one master of Shinobi World", they dare not be careless at all.
--
"Captain Orochimaru, are we running in the wrong direction?" Akaseki asked doubtfully - isn't this getting further and further away from the Land of Fire border?
"Akaseki-kun, do you think we have a choice now?" Orochimaru asked in a deep voice.
When Akaseki heard this, he realized that----Hanzō had really caught up with him!
Akaseki didn't notice it at all, but Orochimaru, who has stronger perception and is especially more sensitive to crises, had already discovered it at this time.
Suddenly Orochimaru said, "You keep going forward, don't change direction." As he said this, Orochimaru turned around and stopped.
Akaseki and Yakushi Nonō also understood that Orochimaru was probably going to set up some trap or something, so without much delay, they directly passed Orochimaru and continued on their way.
After a while, Orochimaru caught up.
After a while----
Boom-
There was an explosion in the distance from behind.
Orochimaru's face was straight, but there was no joy in it. Instead, the corners of his eyes trembled. Akaseki understood after seeing this----
It seems that the explosion is not the sound of "the trap is working", but the sound of the trap being violently broken!
Fortunately, Orochimaru knows the way of "Sealing Technique" well, and stopped many times along the way, leaving behind a trap-like Cursed Seal, constantly delaying Hanzō's pursuit----
At the same time, Akaseki and Yakushi Nonō, regardless of the side effects, relied on "Military Ration Pill" to satisfy their hunger and stimulate chakra synthesis----
The battle began in the early morning of August 24th, and the evacuation began in the morning. After that, they galloped all day and night, and in the starry night. By the early morning of the 25th, Orochimaru, who had not stopped setting traps for a long time, told the two of them that they could take a rest----
"Hu--hu-- finally stopped chasing." Akaseki was also out of breath.
Along the way, Akaseki often looked abnormal and used the "three-piece suit" to relieve fatigue.
As for Yakushi Nonō, it looked like Forbidden Technique had already been used, and his face was gloomy at this time.
"He is worthy of being called a demigod. He is truly terrifying." Along the way, Orochimaru has the most thorough understanding of Hanzō's strength.
Orochimaru sighs with emotion, not that the other party can keep chasing behind, but that——
Along the way, Orochimaru stopped more than a dozen times to arrange "Sealing Technique", but when he "came up with the question" and Hanzō came to crack it, Hanzō was still unstoppable!
In other words, in a real head-on battle, Orochimaru has no way to defeat Hanzō, and ----Hanzō's own poison is more powerful than the current "Great Salamander King"!
While Orochimaru was tired, he was also a little lucky - if Hanzō had appeared at the beginning instead of Great Salamander King, I'm afraid one of him and Jiraiya would have to stay.
"Huh? Are we--are we almost running to the beach?" Akaseki Suddenly felt that the surrounding air was already very humid, which was completely different from the cold and dry Land of Iron west.
"That's right, the land bridge leading to Land of Lightning is ahead." Orochimaru said.
"That----"
Shh Akaseki was about to say something, but Orochimaru stopped him and squinted his eyes at the same time.
