Hanzō vs. the Three Sannin 1

Konoha's temporary camp in the Land of Rain.

"Danzo, Hanzo of the Salamander has acted recklessly and killed too many of our comrades!" A Konoha Ninja said in a cold and stern voice.

Upon hearing this, Danzo cold and hissed, "Hmph! That Hanzō! I've searched everywhere for him but couldn't find him. I didn't expect him to dare to attack us first."

"Pass on my order: immediately send a message to Jiraiya and the others, telling them to stop splitting up and assemble immediately to form an elite team to search for Hanzō's whereabouts. Once found, kill him instantly. I think with their current strength, even if they encounter Hanzō, they won't be easily defeated."

Upon hearing this, the Konoha Ninja immediately turned around, preparing to go out and relay the order.

"Wait, first assemble a group of Elite Ninja from the main camp, I'll lead the team, and I'll also go find that guy Hanzō. Two teams, two approaches, I refuse to believe we can't find that damned guy!" Danzo's cold voice rang out again.

In the Land of Rain, on the outskirts of Karakura Town, dozens of Konoha Ninja were marching swiftly across the muddy ground, led by the young Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya.

"I've heard that Hanzō is slaughtering ninjas from the Three Great Nations on the battlefield, and even many of our Konoha people have died at his hands." During the march, Jiraiya turned his head and said to Orochimaru beside him in a deep voice.

"Heh... Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a ruthless tyrant like Hanzō. I heard that Lord Danzo himself is leading a team to search for Hanzō's whereabouts." Orochimaru turned his head upon hearing this and responded indifferently.

"Hmph! How dare he kill so many of my comrades! If I ever run into him, I'll make him taste the power of Konoha Ninja!" Jiraiya said through gritted teeth, his face full of rage.

"Don't be careless, Jiraiya. Since Hanzō was able to kill the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure with his own hands, he must be incredibly skilled. According to intelligence, Hanzō is especially adept at using poison, so you must be careful." Tsunade interrupted from the side, giving a stern warning.

"Hahaha, with you, Konoha's number one medical-nin, here, what poison could possibly harm my Jiraiya- grandfather Jiraiya..." Jiraiya said with a nonchalant laugh.

"Shut up, you idiot! The poison of the Ibuse is extremely potent. Even for me, it would take a very long time to detoxify you. On the battlefield, do you think Hanzō would give us that chance?" Tsunade scolded in a low Tsunade, solemnly reminding Jiraiya once again.

"That's right, Jiraiya, Tsunade's warning is correct. The battlefield is ever-changing. Don't die here because of carelessness. I will give all your collections to Tsunade when the time comes!" Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

"Hey! Orochimaru, you..."

"Report: A large amount of Chakra has appeared 300 meters ahead, one of which is particularly powerful!"

At this moment, Hyuga Clan ninja in the squad interrupted them, reporting with a grave expression.

"What?" Jiraiya's heart tightened.

"Heh... In this direction, there's only one person with such powerful Chakra." Orochimaru said calmly and confidently.

"Hanzo of the Salamander..." Tsunade murmured.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade immediately raised their hands to signal the group behind them to stop, exchanged glances, and nodded slightly.

Orochimaru immediately turned around and ordered a Konoha Ninja behind him in a deep voice, "Ryosuke, immediately send a signal to Danzo!"

After saying that, he turned around, looked at the two people beside him, and said calmly, "What do you two say? Jiraiya, Tsunade!"

"Hmph! What else is there to say? Since we've run into him, Lord Jiraiya to kill him!" Jiraiya's expression was solemn, and his whole body exuded a chilling killing intent.

"Of course! Anyone who dares to attack Konoha will be made to regret ever being born!" Tsunade coldly, her face filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Orochimaru said no more. He looked up at a spot 300 meters away, his face expressionless, and coldly said, "Then let's go and see what kind of strength this man, who claims to be Demigod, really has."

"Disperse!"

At his command, dozens of Konoha Ninja immediately rushed towards Hanzō's location.

Hanzō silently with a group of Amegakure Elite, their eyes fixed on the Konoha members rushing towards them.

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

With a roar, a blazing fireball shot through the Hanzō. Looking at the approaching Ninjutsu, Hanzō scoffed, "Heh... I thought you wouldn't dare come out!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly raised his hands and formed Hand Seals: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" With a low shout from Hanzō, a bright blue water dragon rapidly condensed in front of him, roared, and charged towards the Flame Bullet.

Laugh--!

Water and fire collided with a deafening roar, and the violent force exploded in the center of the battlefield. Vast white steam billowed and rose instantly, hissing sounds mingling with the torrential rain.

"Oh? Such powerful Water Release, truly worthy of Demigod..." A detached, hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmph! You cowardly coward, state your name!" Hanzō said calmly.

"Hmph! What are you pretending for? Old man, listen up! The Konoha Jonin Konoha -Lord Jiraiya has made his grand entrance! Remember this name, because I'll be the one to kill you later!" Jiraiya shouted angrily upon seeing Hanzō's arrogant demeanor.

"What are you pretending for? The leader of a mere Ninja Village in a small country, anyone who didn't know better would think you were the Hokage of Konoha."

Orochimaru shook his head upon hearing Jiraiya's words, then said, "Konoha Jonin, Orochimaru greets you."

After saying that, he pointed to Jiraiya and continued, "This guy may be a bit arrogant, but he's right about one thing."

At this point, Orochimaru's body instantly erupted with a chilling killing intent as he said, word by word, "Your head will be taken by the ninjas of Konoha!"

"Hmph! What are you two babbling about? I'm Tsunade, and I'm here to beat your woman to a pulp!" Tsunade said impatiently.

It's all that damned guy on the other side's fault. He declared war on the Three Great Nations, which is why I haven't been able to return to Konoha for so long.

I wonder how Nawaki and Kushina are doing.

And Big Brother Kagami hasn't seen her in so long, I wonder if he misses her...

Hanzo of the Salamander looked at the three sharp-witted young ninjas before him, but was not angered by their words. Instead, he felt a sense of admiration for them.

Just by looking at them, you can tell that these geniuses from Konoha are strong and resilient.

Hmph! Is this the foundation of a great Ninja Village? If their genius were to die here, they would surely be heartbroken.

Upon realizing this, the slight admiration in Hanzō's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent. His gaze was fixed on Orochimaru and the other two, and he spoke coldly, "Don't be ridiculous! It's you great nations that are wantonly destroying and slaughtering in our Land of Rain."

"I clearly did not lay a hand on your Konoha before, and I even asked the Daimyo to send a letter of apology. But what about you?"

"They ignore my goodwill and continue to run rampant in my Land of Rain, hah... Never mind, you wouldn't understand no matter what I say!"

"Further words are useless. I will show no mercy. Take this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hanzō leaped onto the ground, wielding his Chain Sickle, and charged towards the people of Konoha. The Amegakure members behind him followed closely behind, charging forward together.

"I'll deal with Hanzō; you all go and take care of the rest of Amegakure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya drew his Kunai and charged towards Hanzō...
