In Konoha: Three Choices at the Start

Whoosh!

In an instant, dense clusters of Explosive Tags appeared beneath Liuyun's feet and wrapped around him.

Liuyun remained expressionless, as though he had expected it.

Boom! Boom!

The earth-shaking blasts rang out without pause.

The shockwaves from the exploding tags swallowed Liuyun!

Hanzō watched from nearby, a hint of satisfaction in his otherwise impassive eyes.

And that was without the poison Hanzō had specially prepared.

Before the sickle even reached Liuyun's head, its edge carried a force that seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth apart!

Crack!

Sure enough, the still-recovering Liuyun shattered into ice again and fell to the ground.

Once, twice—Hanzō swung his sickle as though he would never tire.

His initial calm gave way to shock, then numbness.

He sneered. "Brat, I'd like to see whether you can keep this up
