List of major enemies-Konoha!

Before Hanzo react, the Third Kazekage slammed his hands together.

He transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from the tent.

The two Hidden Sand Village Jonin who were with him also vanished into thin air with a bang, leaving behind two incredibly realistic Shadow Clone.

Boom!

Without warning, the area where the camp was located caved in, and dust billowed into the sky, as if it had been violently struck by some huge, heavy object.

In the deep crater, a black cube the size of a small hill appeared.

The sunken land was several meters deep.

The black cube fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, creating dust and a storm that instantly covered and destroyed the entire Camp.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Sand Village in the Camp had already received advance warning and escaped the Third Kazekage's attack range.

The Third Kazekage now had two black wings extending from his back, composed entirely of black particles the size of sand grains, allowing him to float freely in the sky and displaying a flight power rarely seen in the Ninja World.

"Heh, that's quite an impressive Body Flicker Technique. It seems the intelligence was wrong. Even in places without water, your Body Flicker Technique is unbelievably fast."

The Third Kazekage didn't look at the ground he had instantly slammed into, but instead glanced at the spot not far from the crater, where Hanzo stood almost unharmed, patting off the dust that had accidentally gotten onto his clothes.

"So... is this why Kazekage specifically invited me here when it's not raining?"

Hanzo looked up at the Third Kazekage, who was thirty or forty meters above the ground, and was not at all surprised that his ability information had been obtained by the other party.

After all, he had made so many moves that even with his best efforts to hide it, it was impossible to escape the intelligence systems of these major powers.

"I'm just trying to save myself some energy in this fight."

The Third Kazekage looked down at Hanzo from his high vantage point. Even though Hanzo displayed astonishing speed, the Third Kazekage still didn't consider him a ninja on the same level as himself.

"You are too arrogant, Kazekage. Is this the reputation of Hidden Sand Village?"

Hanzo, who was in a lower position, reprimanded the Third Kazekage as if he were in a superior position.

"What a pointless debate. As one of the Five Kage, I must personally punish a madman like you who attacked the Five Kage with despicable means at a peace conference!"

The Third Kazekage smiled coldly, clasped his hands together again, and a powerful Chakra erupted from his body, causing the surrounding air to freeze and stop flowing.

"Don't even think about it!"

Hanzo didn't know what the Third Kazekage was planning, but he knew that the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release ability was extremely dangerous.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

After Hanzo Hand Seals, a tornado of water immediately rose from the ground, forming a giant water dragon that roared towards the Third Kazekage in the sky.

The Third Kazekage's eyes remained unmoved; in his eyes, this was merely Hanzo's death throes.

With a sudden flap of his Iron Sand wings, he Setsuna swirled the air currents and flew upwards again, causing the water dragon created by Hanzo to miss its target and ultimately dissipate into streams of water that scattered to the earth.

The Third Kazekage's technique was also successfully completed at this time.

"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!"

In the sky, endless black particles flowed at high speed, densely covering the sunlight.

These black particles formed incredibly thick and long black spikes, which resembled the trunks of giant black sand trees, and plummeted fiercely towards the earth.

During the fall, these giant black sand spikes immediately extended outwards with more black spikes, and each spike grew more black spikes, eventually forming a black tree net that blocked out the sky.

The black thorn continued to extend, and at an ever-increasing speed. Each extension produced a sharp, piercing sound that cut through the air, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Under such a wide range and density of attacks, even the fastest Body Flicker Technique would be impossible to dodge.

However, at that moment, the sound of rushing water suddenly rang out from the ground.

The sound started softly, then quickly transformed into a massive, tsunami-like roar. In the blink of an eye, the entire abandoned Camp was swallowed up by the surging water, forming a lake.

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

The black, tree-like structure of the spikes slammed into the lake, creating a series of muffled, suppressed explosions in the water, spraying out large amounts of water before falling silent.

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage's heart skipped a beat.

Although the lake created by his Water Release couldn't intercept his Ninjutsu, the speed and power of his Iron Sand creations would inevitably be greatly reduced after entering the water, giving Hanzo enough buffer space.

"That's really impressive, they actually used this method to buffer my Iron Sand."

The Third Kazekage took a deep breath and sighed.

It's unclear whether they were amazed by Hanzo's idea or by the fact that he could create a lake in such a short time in a place without water.

The power and scale of this Water Release are so great that even in Kirigakure, probably few people could achieve it; it would require at least several Jonin use combined Water Release to barely accomplish it.

Hanzo climbed out of the water and stood steadily on the rippling surface, keeping his head up as he scanned the Third Kazekage in the sky.

Just as the Third Kazekage was amazed by his Water Release, he was also troubled by the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release.

The enemy won't come down and stays in the air at an altitude of 70 or 80 meters. How should this battle proceed?

You can't just jump up there, can you?

But once in the air, one's movements are less agile than on land or in water, wouldn't that make one a sitting duck for the opponent's Magnet Release Ninjutsu?

"..."

The Third Kazekage remained suspended in mid-air, gazing motionlessly at Hanzo on the water below.

The Iron Sand World Method he just used was already his fastest, widest-range, and densest technique.

The other Magnet Release Ninjutsu either have a small range and concentrated power, or a large range and dispersed power, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

But the problem remains: as long as Hanzo retreats into the water, his Ninjutsu attacks will lose power and speed once they penetrate.

Judging from how nimbly Hanzo hid in the water just now, he was even more slippery than a loach, making it very difficult for him to succeed with his Magnet Release.

Maintaining Water Release of this scale requires a lot of Chakra.

Thinking of this, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but recall his past battles with the Third Raikage.

Neither side could gain the upper hand, so they could only stare at each other, locked in a stalemate on the battlefield.

The Third Kazekage looked at Hanzo. Since Hanzo hadn't even paused to breathe, the Third Kazekage knew that Hanzo had plenty of Chakra and it wouldn't be possible to deplete his Chakra anytime soon.

This made the Third Kazekage extremely uncomfortable.

It's one thing for a battle Five Kage to be so intense, but how come the leader of Gata ninja village in a small country is also so difficult to deal with?

The Third Kazekage is considering stopping.

If this standoff continues, it's predictable that nothing will come of it.

Let's take the alternative plan.

The Third Kazekage confirmed a certain idea in his mind.

Before coming, he made several preparations. Of course, he considered what kind of backup plan Hidden Sand Village could take in case Hanzo was not Hanzo and he was able to escape.

The current situation, although different from the previously anticipated alternatives, is of the same nature.

However, Hanzo's strength was slightly higher than he had imagined, so the content of the alternative plan also needed to be changed.

"Let's stop, Hanzo."

The Third Kazekage lowered his head and descended slightly.

"Going back on your word is not a good thing, Kazekage?"

Hanzo snorted coldly, showing no gratitude for the Third Kazekage's bowing, and instead began to mock him.

After all, he could have easily escaped this battle.

Aside from the Third Kazekage, he didn't take the surrounding Hidden Sand Village seriously at all.

But before leaving, we must leave something behind for the Third Kazekage to teach him a lesson, otherwise he might still think Hidden Rain Village is as easy to bully as before.

At the same time, he also wanted to test whether his strength was stronger or weaker than that of the Five Kage.

"There's no benefit in us fighting each other here. After our recent probing, I think you, Hanzo, would be a good partner."

The Third Kazekage ignored Hanzo's taunts and remained mild-mannered.

"What's the meaning?"

Hanzo frowned, wondering what kind of scheme this Kazekage was planning now.

"It's simple. No matter who wins or loses, neither of us will get what we want, right? The Land of Rain can't satisfy the needs of the Land of Wind, and similarly, what can Hanzo gain from the Land of Land of Wind, whose land is mostly desert?"

The Third Kazekage spoke with an air of self-righteousness.

"..."

Hanzo opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

As the Third Kazekage said, this battle, if fought to the end, would not benefit either side.

Even if Hidden Rain Village luck, what can they get from the Land of Wind? Sand?

Moreover, with the power of Hidden Rain Village, it's impossible for them to defeat Hidden Sand Village.

"Since the previous Kazekage, our Hidden Sand Village has always aimed at Konoha and the Land of Fire, and we have no fundamental conflict of interest with Hidden Rain Village or the Land of Rain."

The Third Kazekage continued to descend to a certain height, speaking in a seductive tone.

Although Hanzo concealed his emotions well, his expression wavered for a moment when Konoha and the Land of Fire were mentioned.

Upon seeing this, the Third Kazekage's smile widened even further.

"Hanzo, let's put aside our earlier unpleasantness and sign a new contract. The Land of Fire and Konoha are our common enemy!"
