I Only Want to Kill Everyone Here Today-or Die Trying!
"Hanzo of the Salamander, who gave you the courage to attack the people of the Three Great Shinobi Villages?"
"Aren't you afraid that things will be exposed, Amegakure will become the next Uzushiogakure?"
The Third Raikage's face was grim as he spoke threateningly.
"That's right, if you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote, or don't blame us for being impolite."
"Since our Three Great Shinobi Villages were able to destroy the Land of Whirlpools, we can destroy your Land of Rain!"
"Believe it or not, if even one person from our group escapes, the only thing waiting for your Amegakure is annihilation."
The Kirigakure faction's Genji, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly weak, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"You saw the signal flare just now? That was our Kirigakure's distress signal. Hmph, once our Kirigakure reinforcements arrive, it will be your death day!" The Third Mizukage said coldly and in an unfriendly tone.
Hearing the threats from the crowd, Hanzo of the Salamander in the distance replied with disdain and sarcasm.
"Heh... that's really scary."
"Of course I'm afraid of the ninjas from your Five Great Nations, but it's precisely because I fear Amegakure will become the next Land of Whirlpools that I'm taking the initiative to attack you."
"You should understand the reason."
"The Shinobi World is only so big, and the pie is only so small."
"The most prosperous place in the Shinobi World has already been occupied by the Land of Fire and Konoha."
"When the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was alive, which of you great nation's ninja dared to utter a single fart?"
At this point, Hanzō's mocking expression deepened, and he continued unhurriedly:
"But what happened Hashirama Senju died? What did you do? Didn't you all reveal your true colors, unable to suppress your ambitions, and launch a war?"
"The main source of income for ninjas, besides the annual funding allocated by the Daimyo of various countries, is the mission assignments they receive."
"But who wouldn't choose a powerful Ninja Village? Even if we small Ninja Village lower our fees, the employers will only choose the larger countries that spend more."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hanzo of the Salamander and fell into deep thought...
After a moment, he raised his head and continued speaking to the people of the Three Great Shinobi Villages, his tone tinged with passion:
"Therefore, in order to get more missions, we small Ninja Village must prove our strength!"
"How do we prove it? By waging war, expanding the country's territory, and thus gaining more support from the Daimyo."
"The Shinobi World is currently firmly controlled by your Five Great Nations and Five Great Shinobi Villages. You've eaten all the cake, but I want some too. Will you share some with me?"
"Heh... I suppose you'll just think I'm crazy, and might even send troops to attack Amegakure."
"So I had no choice but to take it myself. There's no point in saying anything more now."
"Having finally received such a golden opportunity, all I want to tell you is that today I, Hanzo of the Salamander, only want to kill everyone here, or be killed by you all!"
"As for the Kirigakure reinforcements that Mizukage old Mizukage mentioned, heh, we'll have to wait until they arrive to talk about that."
After saying that, Hanzo of the Salamander's expression suddenly turned solemn, and his murderous aura spread out as he stared intently at everyone in the arena.
"Do you really think you've got us cornered, Hanzō?" The Third Raikage laughed angrily, forcing himself to stand up slowly despite his injuries, his gaze fixed on Hanzō like a knife.
"You really think you can kill me with just poison?" The Third Mizukage also assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight to the death.
Looking at the Raikage and Mizukage, who were determined to fight to the bitter end, Hanzo of the Salamander swung his Scythe in his right hand and said contemptuously, "Sorry, I'm not one to be intimidated by pressure either."
"Who told you to be the ones poisoned? Look at the gruesome deaths of your men, and look at your own weakened, swaying state. Today, I will kill you both."
The toxins in Ibuse will gradually erode a person's body over time, and the longer it is left untreated, the better it will be for them.
That's why he wasted his breath arguing with those damned shinobi of the Five Great Nations.
Thinking of this, he still seemed unsatisfied and continued to ramble, "If the Second of your villages were still alive, maybe I would have kept a lower profile."
"It's a pity, apart from that old, toothless Shamon, everyone else died in the last Shinobi World War."
"Originally, I only wanted to take advantage of the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, but who knew you Kage would be so useless?"
"To put it bluntly, even if you were at your peak, you would all be nothing but trash in front of me, Hanzo of the Salamander."
"I originally planned to start the Second Shinobi World War after returning to the Land of Rain, but I didn't expect you guys to start killing each other ahead of time. Hahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
Upon hearing these outrageous words, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances.
Has Hanzo of the Salamander gone mad?
Even if they all perished here today, how could the mere Land of Rain withstand the overwhelming wrath of the Three Great Shinobi Villages? Had he ever witnessed the might of an army of tens of thousands of ninja?
Who did he think he was? Hashirama Senju? Or Madara Uchiha?
Damn! If he hadn't been poisoned, they would have already rushed over and smashed his mouth open.
"By the way, I know you're stalling for time while waiting for reinforcements, but actually, I'm stalling for time too."
"I forgot to tell you, the toxins in Ibuse increase over time."
"Why don't you all take a good look now and see how much Chakra you can still draw upon? Yes, I'm talking to you, you black bastard. The way you look like you're about to devour me is terrifying. You'll be the first one I kill later!" Hanzō pointed at the Third Raikage, who was still struggling, his words full of sarcasm.
"You! You Hanzō Hanzo, I'll tear your mouth apart! Ah..." Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage could no longer suppress his anger, and his entire body erupted with lightning.
He was determined that even if he died here, he would make this foul-mouthed guy pay the price!
Just as they were about to set off, they discovered that their strength was less than 30% of what it usually was.
The Third Mizukage was standing nearby, also struggled to prepare for an attack, only to find that his condition was even worse. In order to suppress the poison, he even had difficulty releasing Ninjutsu. Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?
At this moment, Ōnoki, who had been flying in mid-air, looked at his two opponents and felt a chill run down his spine. The poison of the Ibuse was terrifying to such an extent.
Feeling his own Chakra depleted, and with most of the Iwagakure ninja dead or wounded, he saw no need to fight Hanzo to Hanzō death here. He could easily wipe out Amegakure once he returned to Iwagakure and mustered a large army.
However, at this time, the Third Raikage and the Third Mizukage were only one-tenth of their former strength. If they could be captured here, it would be a godsend for Iwagakure. As the saying goes, "No poison, no hero."
With this thought in mind, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, immediately made a decision. He looked at Hanzō and said calmly, "Hanzō, do I still have the strength to fight? Or would you like to try my Dust Release?"
"However, I do have a suggestion. Why don't we form an alliance, kill all the Kumogakure and Kirigakure here, and then attack the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water together?"
"After this is done, if we join forces to destroy Konoha and Sunagakure, we can then divide the Shinobi World equally, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Raikage flew into a rage, shouting, "Ōnoki, you damned shorty, I knew you were a beast!"
Ōnoki was not angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "Ah, war is just a game, and you and I are just dirty players."
"Besides, you killed so many of our Iwagakure ninjas, shouldn't I kill you?"
Having said that, he turned to Hanzo of the Salamander and said calmly, "Well, Hanzō, what do you think of my opinion?"
Just as tensions were about to rise, a calm and cold voice suddenly resounded across the battlefield.
"Oh? So it seems you bunch of scum have already divided up the entire Shinobi World behind Konoha's back?"
