Obito vs. Hanzo

The massive energy fluctuations generated by the battle between Obito and Danzo could naturally not be hidden from the ninjas of Amegakure.

News of the powerful intruder reached Hanzo quickly. At that moment, Hanzo was busy indulging himself with his songstresses. Two women of striking beauty nestled against his chest, one on each side, using their mouths to feed him fine wine. Hanzo's hands were not idle either, as he toyed with the women in his arms.

Salamander Ibuse's master, Hanzo, was a genius who never received the protagonist's script. His experiences in his youth were comparable to those of Naruto. However, he did not give up on himself, nor did he harbor hatred for the people of his village. After his strength grew, he became determined to lead Amegakure toward prosperity and break the monopoly of resources held by the Great Nations, as well as their oppression of smaller ones!

He truly did it, and it must be said he did it well. For a small nation to attack the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind and still enjoy the rest of its days in peace shows just how formidable his strength was. The title of Demigod of the Ninja World was the best accolade for him.

But now, Hanzo's spirit had been exhausted by wine and lust. He was lost in the psychedelic haze of alcohol and the bodies of women.

Hanzo pushed away the fair, delicate bodies pressed against him and picked up a robe to drape over his shoulders. His once robust frame had become somewhat gaunt...

Hanzo took the intelligence report delivered by his death-sworn subordinate and began to read. The location of the incident was none other than Danzo's Root base. Clearly, the news that Danzo was hiding in Amegakure had reached Konoha. Although he had worried about this, he had not expected it to be exposed so quickly.

Killing rogue ninjas from one's own country was something every nation did. Rogue ninjas were familiar with the various traps and barrier layouts of their home villages; the higher the status of the rogue ninja, the greater the threat they posed to their village!

Powerful Fire Style—was it that man named Jiraiya? The image of the white-haired young ninja surfaced in Hanzo's mind.

Putting down the report, Hanzo urgently gathered the village's ninja forces to surround the site of the incident, while simultaneously dispatching a large number of death-sworn subordinates to slowly guard him.

The man known as the Demigod of the Ninja World, Salamander Ibuse's master, wore his iron breathing mask while standing atop a massive summoning creature.

His eyes were locked onto the man walking out of the battlefield! However, it was not the Jiraiya he had guessed.

Danzo could run away regardless of the cost, but he could not! From this perspective, Hanzo's integrity was much stronger than Danzo's.

"Are you a ninja from Konoha? Do you not fear that attacking my Amegakure without cause will trigger a war between our two nations?" Danzo demanded.

"Are you the one they call the Demigod, Hanzo?" Obito walked at a leisurely pace, his overwhelming presence forcing the Amegakure ninjas in front of him to retreat one after another!

The face beneath Hanzo's mask was terrifyingly gloomy. Although he no longer possessed the strength of his prime due to his advancing age, no one had dared to challenge him! The title of Demigod of the Ninja World was not one he had bestowed upon himself; it was earned through countless battles!

"Arrogant Uchiha! Even the Sannin of Konoha were defeated by my hand. State your name; I do not behead the nameless!"

Danzo had traversed the ninja world for decades; seeing Obito's eyes, he knew his origins. Moreover, Danzo had spent years in Amegakure researching Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan, and Hanzo was well-informed about such matters as well.

Hanzo lowered his eyelids slightly, avoiding Obito's gaze to prevent falling into a genjutsu.

"You don't need to know my name. Danzo died too quickly; I forgot to tell him—those who die under my blade become my servants in the afterlife!" Obito prepared to end the fight quickly. Hanzo was a formidable figure, but he was standing in the way, so he would have to be sent on his way.

Susanoo!

Azure chakra transformed into a tengu warrior. Obito stood atop the head of the Susanoo, looking down at the Amegakure ninjas below. Starting tomorrow, Amegakure would see a new beginning!

Hanzo stood on the back of Salamander Ibuse, his expression growing even more solemn. The massive chakra of the Susanoo was clearly no mere illusion!

However, he was still too young!

Fire Style: Explosive Flame Formation!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions resounded throughout the rainy night! While Obito and Danzo were fighting, Hanzo had already planted thousands of explosive tags here!

Under Hanzo's control, thousands of explosive tags flew out from the earth and plastered themselves onto the legs of the Susanoo! They detonated instantly!

By the time Obito realized it and wanted to fly into the air, it was too late; he had no choice but to endure it head-on.

The high temperature generated by the explosion of thousands of explosive tags caused the surrounding rain to vanish instantly, turning into a dense white mist!

When the white mist dissipated, what left Hanzo and the Amegakure ninjas in despair was that the giant azure warrior was completely unscathed!

Did thousands of explosive tags not even scratch him? Hanzo's assessment of the enemy's danger level rose once again. In an instant, the roles of offense and defense shifted, and the giant blade of the Susanoo slashed down!

Boom!

The Amegakure ninjas could no longer maintain their formation and were routed by a single strike!

However, the dozens of death-sworn subordinates around Hanzo moved closer to him, collectively forming hand seals in unison.

Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!

Massive walls of earth rose beneath their feet, forming layers of defensive barriers!

Boom, boom, boom, boom... A series of deafening roars echoed as the Susanoo's blade struck the Earth Flow Wall with immense force. Layer after layer of defense crumbled, earth and stone flying everywhere! But for Hanzo, this slight delay was enough!

Hanzo whipped out his chain to entangle the Susanoo's giant blade, pulled hard, and used the recoil to leap high into the air. In a few bounds, he reached the top of the Susanoo!

The sickle in his hand slashed toward Obito at the head of the Susanoo!

With a crisp clack, a crack was cut into the barrier at the head of the Susanoo, but it restored itself in an instant.

The Susanoo's left hand balled into a fist and smashed down. Hanzo, having nowhere to dodge in mid-air, was blasted apart!

Hanzo's body transformed into a splash of water in the air; it was merely a Water Clone, while the real Hanzo had already landed back on top of the salamander!

The Demigod of the Ninja World was truly no empty title!

Through his attack, Hanzo had tested the defensive capabilities of this giant before him. His chain-sickle was of little use now; he had no choice but to use poison.

"All of you, withdraw! Clear the battlefield!" Hanzo said in a deep voice.

His poison was a technique that did not distinguish between friend and foe. Against a powerful enemy of this caliber, numbers were no longer the key to victory. It had been so long since he had encountered such an opponent! The blood that had been dormant in Hanzo for years began to burn once again! He could still fight!

"Yes!" The Amegakure ninjas retreated one after another. Obito did not stop them. Under the torrential rain, the sound of the downpour was like the beat of a drum, playing a war song for their battle! This was a dialogue between a legend of the older generation and a powerhouse of the new!

Poison Mist Spray! The salamander beneath Hanzo's feet raised its head and spat out rolling, thick purple smoke, spraying it toward Uchiha Obito!

Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique! Thick white mist followed closely behind, making the already rainy night even harder to see through, and the massive size of the Susanoo made it the most obvious target!

"Forcing me to dispel the Susanoo?" Obito whispered. Very well, it was rare to encounter a strong opponent; he would enjoy the pleasure of the battle to the fullest!
