At the same time, there is an abandoned industrial town somewhere in Land of Rain.
This is the new temporary base of the "Akatsuki" organization.
"Damn it! Just a little bit worse!"
Inside the stronghold, Yahiko punched the map hard, his face full of annoyance and unwillingness.
"The plan this time was perfect, but Hanzō's response was much faster than we expected. Although we successfully cut off their supply line, three of our brothers were lost on the way to retreat."
There was a trace of sadness that could not be concealed in his voice.
Every victory is accompanied by sacrifice. This cruel reality is constantly hammering his idealistic heart.
"Yahiko, you have done a good job." Konan came over and gently wiped the mud on his face with a tissue, his voice gentle, "This is what war is."
On the side, Nagato sat silently, and the pair of Rinnegan looked at the map quietly, seemingly reviewing every detail of the entire battle.
After years of training, he has become more and more proficient in controlling the power of Rinnegan. However, he has always kept in mind the original warning of Senju Chen, and never dared to touch those destructive powers easily.
"No, it's not enough." Yahiko shook his head, his eyes becoming firm again, "Our strength is still too weak. Next time, we must..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Boom--!!!
A deafening loud noise came from outside the stronghold without warning!
The whole earth trembled violently!
"Enemy attack!!!"
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire stronghold instantly!
"How is that possible?!" Yahiko's face changed drastically, "Our secret whistle..."
Before he finished speaking, a Akatsuki member in charge of the investigation burst open the door covered in blood and shouted hoarsely, "It's... it's Hanzo of the Salamander! He... he brought his trusted troops and surrounded us!"
"What?!"
The pupils of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan all trembled at the same time!
The intelligence network they were proud of and the defensive traps they carefully laid seemed to have become a joke at this moment!
"All combatants! Go to the designated position to meet the enemy immediately!" Yahiko reacted instantly and issued the leader's order.
However, what responded to him was another even more terrifying explosion!
Boom!!!
The outer wall of the stronghold was blasted open by an irresistible force!
Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure slowly walked in.
He wore a respirator on his head, held a huge scythe in his hand, and had a stern look in his eyes, as if a god was looking at mortals.
Exactly, Demigod of the Ninja World--Hanzo of the Salamander!
"Finally... I found you, the rats of Akatsuki."
The battlefield was divided instantly.
At the same time that Hanzō appeared, a figure appeared on the other side of the stronghold like a ghost, stopping a man who was about to support him.
"Your opponent is me."
Kakuzu stopped and looked at the weird man wearing Spiral Mask in front of him, a trace of irritation flashed in his green eyes.
[Trouble!]
[How did these guys find their lair so directly?]
"You hidden guy, get out of here!" Kakuzu roared, and four black Earth Grudge Fear tentacles instantly stretched out from behind, and Chakra with the four attributes of wind, fire, thunder, and earth erupted at the same time!
"Fire Release·Searing Migraine!"
"Wind Release·Press!"
The two Ninjutsus merged perfectly, forming a sea of fire storm that destroyed the world and devoured the Masked Man in front of them!
However, Masked Man just stood there quietly, not moving or avoiding.
At the moment when the terrifying sea of fire was about to touch him, Kakuzu was surprised to discover.
His own Ninjutsu actually passed through his body directly.
The other party was actually unhurt.
"Huh?" Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted.
[What's going on? Genjutsu? No...]
He has lived for nearly a hundred years and has rich combat experience, but the scene before him is completely beyond his understanding.
"Your attacks are ineffective against me." Masked Man's voice was still as frivolous as ever, "Give up, you can't survive."
"Fart!" Kakuzu yelled angrily and launched another attack.
In all his years of living, he has never seen an unbeatable ninja in this world!
The main battlefield.
"Yahiko! Konan! Go organize others to break out! Leave this to me!"
Nagato stood up, and Rinnegan had a strong purple light.
"Repulsion!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!
The invisible repulsive force exploded with him as the center, instantly knocking away the Amegakure ninja that was charging towards him!
"Want to leave?" Hanzo of the Salamander sneered, his hands flying Hand Seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
Huge smoke exploded, and a huge salamander, as big as a small mountain, appeared on the battlefield.
It's his psychic beast, Ibuse!
Ibuse opened its huge mouth, and a large amount of poisonous mist spurted out, covering half of the battlefield in an instant.
"Be careful of the poisonous mist!" Konan exclaimed, and countless pieces of paper flew out from her body, forming a huge paper wall, trying to resist the spread of the poisonous mist.
And Yahiko, with both hands Hand Seals, opened its mouth and spurted out huge waves of water.
"Water Release·Water Trumpet!"
He tried to use Water Release to disperse the poisonous mist, but with little success.
"Too naive." Hanzō's figure appeared behind Yahiko at some point, and the sickle in his hand drew an icy arc.
"Yahiko!"
Konan and Nagato exclaimed at the same time.
Yahiko's heart was ringing with alarms. Without thinking, he whipped out a water whip with his backhand and leaned back to the extreme at the same time.
Tsk!
The sickle slashed his chest, bringing up a bunch of blood.
Severe pain came, Yahiko groaned and retreated violently.
"Not a bad reaction." Hanzō's tone contained a trace of approval, like a cat playing with a mouse, "But, it's over."
He bullied me again, and his speed reached the extreme!
At this critical moment!
"Banshō Ten'in!"
Nagato roared, and a strong gravitational force instantly acted on Hanzō, forcibly pulling his body towards him.
Hanzō's figure froze.
It was this moment of pause that gave Yahiko and Konan a chance to breathe.
However, the continuous use of Rinnegan's ability also made Nagato's face turn pale, and two streams of blood flowed from his nostrils.
"Nagato!"
"I'm fine!" Nagato gritted his teeth and stared at Hanzō, "You guys leave quickly!"
"Leave? Today, none of you can leave."
Hanzō steadied his body and looked at the three people struggling to support themselves, his eyes filled with disdain.
He doesn't even need to do it himself.
The Amegakure elite troops behind him surged up like a tide, submerging the already endangered Akatsuki members one by one.
Screams came and went.
Yahiko's eyes turned red instantly.
Those are the companions who trust him, follow him, and fight for "peace" with him!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
He let out an angry roar and rushed forward again regardless of his injuries.
However, the reality is cruel.
In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, all passion and ideals seem so pale and powerless.
Poof!
Yahiko's body was penetrated by several Kunai, and he fell backwards heavily.
"Yahiko!" Konan let out a scream, and countless Explosive Tag pieces of paper flew out like snowflakes, temporarily forcing the enemy back and rushing to Yahiko's side.
