Have you ever seen a ninja killed by Fire Release?
April of the Konoha Year 37!
Ever since Hanzō issued his declaration of war Proclamation the Three Great Shinobi Villages, the ninjas of Amegakure have been mobilizing all their forces to continuously wipe out the ninjas of the Three Great Shinobi Villages within the Land of Rain.
With the arrival of Amegakure, the entire Land of Rain has become a battleground for four forces. Although Hanzō's Proclamation greatly angered Ōnoki and Sajie, they also took corresponding actions, continuously sending ninjas from their own countries to the Land of Rain, including the fate of Jinchūriki.
However, the Three Great Nations had been fighting in the Land of Rain for years, and their hatred for each other was deeply ingrained. Even though Hanzō declared war on all three nations at the same time, the ninjas from the Three Great Shinobi Villages did not unite to attack Amegakure.
The Kage of each village said they would prioritize eliminating Hanzō and Amegakure, but the ninjas from the Three Great Shinobi Villages, who had already formed deep grudges, would still engage in fierce battles and killings whenever they met.
This has greatly reduced the pressure on Hanzō's Amegakure, making them more mobile on the battlefield. They can now freely attack any ninja from the Three Great Shinobi Villages. In short, the Land of Rain is now in complete chaos.
The drizzling rain continued to fall from the sky.
Rumble!
A loud explosion rang out.
In the distance, a group of Konoha Ninja were engaged in a fierce battle with Iwagakure ninjas.
The two sides of ninjas clashed and fought fiercely, the sound of clashing blades ringing out incessantly.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" A Konoha Ninja quickly Hand Seals, followed by a low roar.
Dozens of fireballs were continuously spat out from his mouth, the scorching fireballs carrying rolling heat waves, and they blasted towards the Iwagakure ninja.
Seeing this, the Iwagakure Ninja, about to be hit by the fireball, looked disdainful, quickly formed hand Hand Seals, and then slammed his hand onto the ground. "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall Jutsu!"
"Hmph! Fire Release again. Have you ever seen a ninja killed by Fire Release?"
As he finished speaking, a thick earthen wall rose rapidly in front of him, blocking the incoming fireball.
As the fireballs continued to bombard the earthen walls, they gradually became brittle and began to crumble.
With a whoosh!
The next second, a Kunai the air, passing straight through the crack in the earthen wall and fiercely penetrating the chest of the Iwagakure Ninja. A muffled groan followed, and the Iwagakure behind the wall slowly collapsed, lifeless.
"Heh... who told you that Earth Flow Wall could save your life?" The Konoha Ninja sneered upon seeing this, then continued to attack the other Iwagakure around him.
Call out!
Bang!
Boom!
Different elemental Ninjutsu were unleashed one after another on this battlefield. Earth Release Ninjutsu arbitrarily altered the surrounding terrain, Lightning Release Ninjutsu easily shattered the simple houses around them, and Fire Release ignited flames that wantonly devoured all life around them.
In a distant mountain hollow, Hanzo of the Salamander stared intently at the area, watching his Land of Rain suffer continuous destruction at the hands of these powerful ninjas, and a fierce rage burned within him.
Why?
"We in Amegakure are only at war with Sunagakure. I, Hanzō, previously ordered all my subordinates not to attack anyone from Iwagakure or Konoha."
Why did you send troops to the Land of Rain? Why start a war in the Land of Rain?
"Damn Konoha! Damn Iwagakure! You ninja from all the great nations are all the same!"
His gaze swept across the battlefield, taking in the scene of Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas slaughtering each other and wreaking havoc on the land of Land of Rain. Hanzō could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart, and said in a chilling tone, "It seems that a mere Shamon is not enough to arouse your fear."
"Perhaps only constant slaughter can instill fear in you great nation's ninjas."
With that, Hanzō Chain Sickle tightly and charged towards the distant battle.
Before the Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas, who were locked in fierce combat, could react, a large number of Explosive Tag spread out from beneath their feet. Just as they were about to dodge, the Explosive Tag suddenly accelerated and wrapped around their feet. The ninjas who didn't have time to dodge were instantly covered in Explosive Tag around their legs.
"Hmph! Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation!" A deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of Explosive Tag detonated, and with a series of booming sounds, crimson flames swirled and engulfed a large number of ninjas, accompanied by continuous screams of agony.
In an instant, the entire area was engulfed in flames.
Upon seeing this, Hanzō's eyes gleamed with the satisfaction of revenge, while the ninjas who had managed to escape cried out in terror, "It's Hanzo of the Salamander!"
"It's the man who killed the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure!"
Why is this guy here?
"Hmph! What bad luck!"
"In that case, let's retreat!"
Seeing the terrified ninjas of the Great Nation scattering in all directions, Hanzō and muttered coldly to himself, "Run away! Go spread the word about the terror of me, Hanzo of the Salamander!"
"Let those surviving ninjas from powerful nations pray they never run into me!"
The temporary camp of Iwagakure in the Land of Rain.
"Hmph! Lord Zi, is this Hanzo of the Salamander really courting death?"
"That's right. Since he declared war on the Three Great Nations, many of our Iwagakure ninjas have died at his hands, and each one of them died a gruesome death."
Bang!
Hearing the words of the Iwagakure around him, Murasaki, the frontline commander, was instantly enraged. He slammed his Hanzō! How dare he treat us Iwagakure Ninja like this! Pass down the order to immediately send out a reconnaissance team to find Hanzō's whereabouts. I'll make him taste the power of Lava Release!" As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching heat surged around him.
Sunagakure's encampment in the Land of Land of Rain.
The Third Kazekage Sajie, personally went to the front lines, with a kind-looking monk sitting beside him.
Holding the intelligence report in his hand, Sajie exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, finally the people of Konoha and Iwagakure have experienced Hanzō's methods! Now, the losses we suffered in Sunagakure are understandable!"
Upon hearing this, the monk beside him, with a compassionate expression, spoke softly, "Lord Kazekage, why do you continue to occupy the Land of Rain? Didn't you summon me here because the Land of Rain has invaded our Land of Land of Wind and wantonly slaughtered our people?"
"But what I see today is completely different from what you describe. What I see is a pack of wolves wreaking havoc and slaughtering in the Land of Rain!"
"Master Bunpuku, you're wrong. It was clearly Hanzo of the Salamander who provoked us, Sunagakure. He wanted to climb over Sunagakure to get ahead!" Jonin Niuji, Jonin nearby, retorted excitedly.
"Even our Second Lord Shamon died at the hands of this despicable villain. How can we not avenge such a great grudge?"
"If we give up now, will anyone in the Shinobi World still respect us, Sunagakure? If Sunagakure is looked down upon, who will protect the Land of Wind?"
Upon hearing this, Bunpuku was speechless for a moment.
Just then, Sajie, who had been silent all along, waved his hand and said calmly, "Alright, Niuji, that's enough."
At this point, he turned to Bunpuku beside him and continued, "Master Bunpuku, I know you are a compassionate person, so I respect your choice. However, I have only one request: if other Ninja Village send out Jinchūriki, you must also intervene to stop them. You must know the destructive Jinchūriki against ordinary ninjas."
Hearing this, Bunpuku looked grateful and assured Sajie, "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Kazekage. Rest assured, if any other Jinchūriki intervene, I will not stand idly by."
