"Ding--"
Hanzo, his face contorted in a grimace, knelt on the ground, gripping his scythe to block Sato Hideaka's beam saber. Supported by compressed blue Chakra, the scythe barely managed to withstand the overwhelming sharpness of the beam saber.
However, the Ibuse's right shoulder armor was cleanly severed by a sharp laser sword!
The arm armor fell to the ground with a clatter, rolled a few times, and came to a stop. The crisp sound of metal hitting the concrete floor stunned the surrounding Amegakure ninjas and even some Sunagakure ninjas.
A mere Konoha Anbu Ninja managed to sever Lord Hanzo's arm armor?
Hanzo, Hanzo and the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, once single-handedly stopped the Sannin of Konoha. In the struggle between the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire, he preserved the Land of Rain Land of Rain, giving it a new lease on life.
It's unbelievable that such a powerful being was so badly beaten by an unknown Konoha Ninja, with even his arm armor being severed!
Hanzo's face showed a hint of horror. If he hadn't followed his premonition, if he had hesitated even a second longer with his scythe, his entire right arm would have been severed by this guy. Just who... who is this demon?
Could it be that these nine Ninjutsu aren't illusions, but rather actual physical entities?
With a sudden burst of strength, Hanzo forced back the figure wielding a lightsaber in front of him. Facing the continuous stream of figures attacking with lightsabers, Hanzo's eyes were filled with vigilance. His scythe danced rapidly, blocking the attacks of the nine figures with a series of clangs.
In an instant, Kakkō flew everywhere, and the air rippled wildly!
Hanzo's scythe struck Sato Hideaka front of him, but another figure of Sato Hideaka suddenly attacked, forcing him to take a half step back to block the opponent's lightsaber slash. However, the phantom that had been struck attacked again, forcing him to defend once more.
Deception and reality intertwine; when attacking, it's death; when defending, it's feinting...
It turns out, all nine figures were both solid and illusory. The Body Flicker Technique... an illusion created by extreme speed. So that's it! All nine figures were solid. Then its weakness must be...?
Hanzo was desperately defending against Sato Hideaka's attacks. In the course of their constant exchanges, his arm armor was slashed and mangled by the lightsaber, revealing clean cuts, torn armor, and exposed skin.
Just as the nine figures of Sato Hideaka were launching a frenzied attack with sharp laser swords, Hanzo, who was preparing to dodge the laser sword swung by one of them, suddenly paused. This slight pause caused his gas mask to be cut open.
As Hanzo breathed, a green gas slowly filled the air and rapidly spread throughout the room.
Upon seeing the slowly spreading green mist, the Amegakure ninjas reacted quickly, using various methods to escape the room. The Sunagakure, at the signal of Chiyo and Ebizo, also slowly withdrew from the room. This green mist was the poison of the Ibuse...
If these toxic gases are inhaled, they will cause the body to stiffen and become immobile, making it difficult to breathe, and eventually leading to death from heart failure!
Sato Hideaka also took a few steps back and held his breath.
"So, this is the weakness of the Body Flicker Technique? Although each person is an illusion, each person is also a body. As long as the attack range is expanded to include everyone, this technique will break down on its own. This is the weakness of this technique."
Hanzo the Salamander glanced at his tattered Kusarigama in his hand, tossed it aside, and took out a brand new Kusarigama from his ninja pouch. He then spoke calmly to Sato Hideaka, whose illusory figure was gradually disappearing.
Sato Hideaka. As expected of the demigod Hanzo, even though his sharpness had diminished, his insight and judgment were in no way inferior. The weakness of this Body Flicker Technique was that it could not be attacked simultaneously. Although the poison mist caused continuous damage, such a Body Flicker Technique could not be used for long in the poison mist... because it consumed too much stamina, and consuming stamina required quickening breathing.
Hanzo looked at the figure before him, a hint of killing intent in his voice, and said, " Konoha's Anbu Ninja, you are a ninja whose potential I have seen, even surpassing that of the Sannin, so you cannot live... Then die."
After putting on a brand new gas mask, Hanzo the Salamander bit his right thumb hard, then Hand Seals his hands together in a mudra at his chest and slammed them into the ground, where complex black runes appeared.
" Summoning Technique, Ibuse," Hanzo said coldly, Hanzo- squatting on the ground.
After a puff of white smoke, a red fish with hands, feet, and a huge tail, resembling a salamander, appeared in the room. Its enormous body almost filled half the room, and its dark red back had a layer of raised material, making it look very strange.
Its bright red mouth suddenly opened, and a green mist several times denser than before spewed out from its blood-red maw. The green weapon quickly spread out, instantly filling the entire room and greatly reducing visibility.
This is the toxin from the Ibuse, several times stronger than the toxin exhaled by Hanzo...
The toxins released by the summoned beast Ibuse are so potent that even Hanzo, who is immune to toxins, cannot inhale them, otherwise he himself will be poisoned. This is one of the reasons why Hanzo the Salamander put on his gas mask again just now.
"Alright, now the Ibuse and I will lock onto your location simultaneously. No matter where you run, you can't escape the poison's range. So... if you can't hold your breath any longer, even just one breath will paralyze your entire body, leading to respiratory and heart failure and death."
Standing Hanzo the Ibuse, Hanzo coldly stared at the Konoha Ninja before him. The lightsaber in his hand was indeed very powerful, but as long as a person needs to breathe, even a tiny bit of poison will cause paralysis. No matter how sharp the sword is... it's useless if no one wields it.
The power of the Ibuse's venom is the main reason why Hanzo the Salamander became a demigod and a pinnacle of the Shinobi World. As long as a human is unable to escape the range of the venom released by the Ibuse, they will be completely killed by the venom!
Sato Hideaka sensed that Hanzo hadn't launched a sneak attack using his Electric Net Technique. He then sensed the direction of the poison's flow through his skin and suddenly darted in that direction, leaping through a window and landing outside the building.
In this room filled with green poisonous fog, where you could barely see your own hand, the Ibuse used a special method to sense that Sato Hideaka had escaped from the building, and then transmitted the information to Hanzo the Salamander.
Hanzo's expression changed, and he jumped onto the back of the Ibuse, following Sato Hideaka's figure as they leaped out of the room and onto the building's exterior wall perpendicular to the ground! (To be continued.)
