"Ding, Uzumaki Nagato's corruption level detected at 78%. Please go to his rescue immediately."
The system suddenly sent a message that startled Uchiha Kō: Nagato, turned evil? No way, he was fine before, how come he suddenly turned evil?
In that instant of hesitation, his corruption level rose to 80%. After being warned by his host, he no longer hesitated. He formed hand Hand Seals and sensed the Flying Thunder God Technique he had set up when he shook hands with Nagato and reminisced at the Full Moon Banquet.
Then, with a surge of chakra, his figure transformed into a golden streak of light and vanished from the spot.
Land of Rain, Abandoned Factory
Salamander Hanzō sneered as he watched Uzumaki Nagato charge towards him. He then raised his grappling hook, preparing to block this reckless vice-leader. "I am the one closest to the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama. I am honored by the world's esteem and have been given the title of demigod."
"You brat, daring to defy the gods, you're courting death!" Just when Salamander Hanzō thought his hook scythe was enough to take half of Uzumaki Nagato's life, his hook scythe suddenly stopped, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.
"What? What's going on?" Salamander Hanzō a little confused. Why did his grappling hook seem to have hit something like a barrier, and the next second, he was thrown hundreds of meters away?
Uzumaki Nagato, and a barrier centered on him instantly expanded. Salamander Hanzō had never seen this ability before, so he was a little apprehensive.
After all, at his level and age, he wouldn't consider Uzumaki Nagato's life to be equal to his own. He would only think that Uzumaki Nagato's life was as worthless as an ant's, while his own was incomparably noble.
Therefore, seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to run away. However, Uzumaki Nagato looked up, his eyes flashing with hatred. He stretched out his right hand, and a strange suction force was generated from his palm. Salamander Hanzō, who originally wanted to run away, was pulled by this huge force, and his speed became slower and slower. Since he was in the air, he lost his footing, so he quickly flew towards Uzumaki Nagato.
But Salamander Hanzō was not one to be trifled with. He immediately shouted, "Ibuse!" The ground trembled, and a huge, brown, salamander-like summoning beast burst forth from the ground, emitting a repulsive sound!
"Roar~" Except for Nagato and Salamander Hanzō, all the ninjas covered their ears, their faces pale. They gritted their teeth, some of them unsteady on their feet, even Konan!
Salamander Hanzō's eyes narrowed. How could Uzumaki Nagato be unaffected? Could it be that his strength has already reached the Kage level? Are you kidding me? He's so young!
Suddenly he seemed stunned, as if this wasn't a joke. After all, there had been someone like that before, and now that person was the Hokage. The first roar of the Ibuse summoning beast was a test, a probe to gauge the enemy's true strength.
Nagato remains unmoved, and Salamander Hanzō and the Ibuse are now serious. This battle will not be easy!
Uzumaki Nagato clicked his tongue, then flicked his right hand, his two Rinnegan fixed on the Ibuse summon. Looking at that eye, he suddenly felt uneasy.
However, the next second, Uzumaki Nagato's actions proved his premonition correct. "Hellhound, Panda, Archaeopteryx, Lizard, Rhinoceros! Charge!"
Immediately afterwards, five summoned beasts appeared. Their size was not much different from that of the Ibuse summoned beast, and the pressure they exuded was no less!
Salamander Hanzō contracted. Summoning Jutsu! Summoning five at once! And he'd never seen these summoned beasts before!
Which sacred site or place has this summoned beast?
Salamander Hanzō immediately shouted, "Ibuse, use poison!"
The Ibuse nodded immediately, then spewed out purple poisonous mist from its mouth. The summoned beasts immediately dodged, Chameleon even concealed itself, waiting for its chance to strike.
Nagato rushed towards Konan. As the poisonous mist drew near, he activated his Rinnegan, causing the mist to bypass the two and create a vacuum zone.
However, the other Rain Ninja in the factory suffered the consequences. They never expected that Lord Hanzo would release such a potent poison today!
Salamander Hanzō simply closed his eyes and sighed. There was nothing he could do; everything comes at a price, and sacrifices are inevitable.
These Rain Ninjas will never forget their contributions!
After a while, Salamander Hanzō had been observing the whole situation, suddenly looked at Konan. This little girl was the key to breaking the deadlock!
Thinking of this, Salamander Hanzō Hand Seals and used an invisibility technique, taking small, slow steps towards Konan. However, what he didn't know was that in the face of the Rinnegan, all invisibility and illusion techniques were ineffective and futile!
Salamander Hanzō thought he had hidden himself well, but as soon as he entered Nagato's attack range, he was sent flying by a single Shinra Tensei!
"Ugh, you monster!" Salamander Hanzō darkened. Once his invisibility jutsu was hit, his true form would be revealed. At this moment, Salamander Hanzō's figure was exposed to Konan and Nagato's sight!
The Ibuse roared and prepared to catch its master, but the Archaeopteryx seized the opportunity and swooped down from the sky, its sharp beak aimed at the Ibuse's head.
The Ibuse turned and lashed its tail, and sure enough, the Archaeopteryx dodged to the side. It was very fast, so the Ibuse's tail lash did not hit the Archaeopteryx.
Just as the match was about to end in a draw, the Panda roared and charged over, throwing a punch at the Ibuse, Ibuse was just about to dodge.
The Chameleon grabbed the Ibuse's hind legs with both hands and pulled it backward! The Ibuse froze! Then the Panda's heavy punch landed on its back!
The Ibuse was naturally in bad shape after being hit so hard. It let out a howl, Rhinoceros gathered its strength on the ground before charging forward!
The sharp Rhinoceros pointed directly at the Ibuse's belly. The Ibuse endured the pain and prepared to move, but the Hellhound stepped on it first!
With a thud, the Ibuse collapsed to the ground, unable to struggle. As the Rhinoceros charged in front of it, the Hellhound retreated, Rhinoceros was about to pierce the Ibuse's body.
With a roar, Salamander Hanzō formed hand Hand Seals "Water Release: Water Shockwave!" This attack used one-fifth of his chakra!
A massive water cannon shot out, hurtling towards the Rhinoceros. "Ibuse, back underground! Don't come out!"
The relationship between Salamander Hanzō and his Ibuse has gone beyond that of master and summoned beast.
The Ibuse roared, refusing to leave, determined to live and die with Hanzo!
"Get out of here!" With that, Salamander Hanzō forcibly dispelled the Summoning Jutsu! The Ibuse vanished instantly. Since it refused to escape underground, he would simply make it leave!
Salamander Hanzō as he was stared at by five Rinnegan summoning beasts, pulled out his grappling hook, his eyes narrowing. He was already regretting his actions.
I regret provoking such a monster! I thought Yahiko Akatsuki, but it turns out that Uzumaki Nagato's power is many times greater than Yahiko's!
As the Ibuse disappeared, the poisonous fog on the field vanished. Nagato, his face cold, pulled Konan along. Konan was filled with sorrow, and only Nagato held her hand did she feel a sliver of warmth.
Now all she has left is Nagato!
Uzumaki Nagato suddenly spoke up, "Just now, you said you were a demigod? Right?"
"Not bad." Salamander Hanzō, though surrounded, still had a piercing gaze. "I admit, I underestimated you. You can treat me however you want, but please treat the people of the Land of Rain kindly!"
Uzumaki Nagato nodded. "So, are you ready to die? To die at the hands of God!"
Since Salamander Hanzō claims to be a demigod, then the one who defeats him is a god, a god of the Ninja World!
Just as Uzumaki Nagato was about to kill Salamander Hanzō, Uchiha Kō appeared!
Uzumaki Nagato sensed a massive amount of chakra nearby and immediately turned around, only to find that Uchiha Kō had appeared!
"Brother Kō!" Nagato's pupils Uzumaki Nagato. Uchiha Kō glanced at him, then greeted him. He looked around and saw the Salamander Hanzō.
"Wow, it's quite lively here!" Uchiha Kō chuckled, then activated his Golden Rinnegan. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
The oppressive aura was immediately released, and the Rain Ninja knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. Salamander Hanzō forcibly supported his body, preventing himself from kneeling!
He is the leader of the Land of Rain, and he would rather die standing than live on his knees!
"Brother Kō, Yahiko... he's dead!" Uzumaki Nagato trembled as he said this, Konan quickly supported him, her eyes red-rimmed, looking at Uchiha Kō.
"Yahiko, he's dead... is that right?" Uchiha Kō closed his eyes, took a deep breath, Salamander Hanzō immediately felt the pressure around him increase dramatically!
Ironically, he used all his chakra and strength to resist Uchiha Kō's pressure, but in the next instant, he was kneeling on the ground. The other Rain Ninja could not withstand this pressure and all of them exploded and died!
Puff puff puff puff puff puff! The flesh was crushed, and the bones turned to dust.
"Hokage... Lord Hokage... Konoha... Konoha has a rule... no, it's forbidden to interfere... in the politics of other countries!"
"May I ask... what exactly do you mean by what you've done?!" Salamander Hanzō roared!
After shouting, he felt the pressure all over his body disappear. Somewhat confused, he tried to stand up, only to see Uchiha Kō's figure appear in front of him.
Then, he stepped on his back and said, "I was asked by the Akatsuki to help deal with this matter. Do you have any opinions?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Kō gradually increased the pressure on his foot, causing Salamander Hanzō to contort his face and spit out blood.
Threat, a blatant threat. The claim of seeking help from the Akatsuki is just an excuse.
Yes, it's just an excuse, but what can you do about it? Can you, Hanzo, defeat me? The Land of Rain is stronger than Konoha!
Anyone who dares to touch my people should be prepared to bear the wrath of Uchiha Kō.
Upon seeing Uchiha Kō's appearance, Uzumaki Nagato was stunned. Seeing this scene, he fell silent. Why couldn't Uchiha Kō have arrived sooner? If he had arrived earlier, could Yahiko have...?
