After saying that, the figure of Hatake Sakumo moved.
This time, he was no longer passively defensive.
Whoosh!
A white afterimage drew a straight line in everyone's field of vision!
"Stop him!"
Hanzō shouted sharply!
A dozen Amegakure elite ninjas reacted instantly. Hand Seals's Hand Seals drew their swords and rushed forward without fear of death!
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
"Earth Release·Earth-Style Wall!"
Several lines of defense Ninjutsu rose from the ground, trying to block the white lightning.
However, it's no use.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
Wherever the white light passed, whether it was a solid earth wall or a thick water curtain, it was like paper, being easily passed through!
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
Those dozen Amegakure elites didn't even have time to scream, before their bodies were cut in half by that white light!
Blood dyed the rain curtain red.
When the figure of Hatake Sakumo appeared again, it was already behind Hanzō.
He turned his back to Hanzō and slowly put the dagger back into its sheath.
"Click."
A soft sound.
Hanzō's body froze.
He lowered his head with difficulty and saw that the sturdy breathing mask on his chest had cracked a tiny gap at some point.
A drop of cold rain fell along the crack and onto his warm skin.
And in the position of his heart, a heartbreaking pain had just begun to spread.
"You... when..."
"When you Hand Seals."
Hatake Sakumo replied without looking back.
The battlefield on the other side.
Kakuzu was extremely frustrated from the fight.
[Damn! What the hell is this?!]
All his attacks, whether they were Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, seemed to hit the air and pass directly through the opponent's body.
The other party, on the other hand, was like a talkative flea, escaping and contaminating his spirit with a tone that didn't deserve a beating.
"Oh my, what a close call! I almost got hit!"
"Uncle, your movements are too slow!"
"Look, look, you've missed again, are you angry?"
Kakuzu's lungs are about to explode.
He has lived for so many years, what kind of difficult opponent has he not seen? But this is the first time that he is completely unbeatable like this!
[This bastard... must have some secret! Virtualization? It can't be maintained forever! There must be a moment of materialization!]
Kakuzu forced himself to calm down and began to observe carefully.
At this moment, the violent explosions and screams coming from the main battlefield made his heart move.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye.
Just one glance made his heart, filled with money, skip a beat.
[Holy shit! What did Senju Chen do to that old guy Hatake Clan? Why did he become so violent all of a sudden?!]
He saw the scene where Hatake Sakumo slaughtered Amegakure ninjas as if they were in a deserted place.
I also saw Hanzo of the Salamander, the "Demigod" with a bounty of tens of millions of taels on the black market. At this moment, he was like a wooden stake, frozen in place.
[The price for this job is too low! It's definitely too low!]
Kakuzu's heart is roaring crazily.
And at the moment when he was distracted, Masked Man across from him flashed red in his eyes!
Opportunity!
Masked Man's body instantly materialized, a hand stretched out, its five fingers turned into claws, and it went straight for Kakuzu's heart!
He wants to take this opportunity to control this difficult bounty hunter!
However, he underestimated the fighting instinct of an old monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years!
Just when Masked Man's hand was about to touch Kakuzu, Kakuzu's body suddenly leaned back. At the same time, a Earth Grudge Fear tentacle behind him, like a poisonous snake, swung back towards Masked Man's face at an incredible angle!
Snap!
A crisp sound!
Masked Man's body became insubstantial again, escaping this fatal blow.
But his mask was swept by the end of the tentacle.
Click.
A slight crack appeared on the orange Spiral Mask.
"Oh?" Kakuzu steadied his body, looked at the crack, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
[I see... when he attacks himself, he must materialize!]
Found it!
Found the weakness!
"Boy, your turtle shell doesn't seem to be that hard." Kakuzu let out an unpleasant laugh.
Under the mask, Obito's eyes instantly turned cold.
Mistake.
He didn't expect this old guy to react so quickly.
[Black Zetsu, the situation has changed.] Obito said to Black Zetsu in his heart, [The opponent has strong reinforcements, and their strength is far beyond expectations. Hanzo of the Salamander... I'm afraid they will be defeated.]
[See it.] Black Zetsu's voice, with a hint of solemnity, [Retreat. Our goal has been achieved, there is no need to fight with a madman here.]
"Okay, okay, I won't play with you anymore. Bye bye, uncle~"
Masked Man's tone became frivolous again, and his body began to slowly retreat, preparing to blend into the empty Manami pattern.
"Want to run? Leave your life behind!"
Kakuzu roared, four hearts exerted force at the same time, and the four attributes of Ninjutsu merged again, turning into a light of destruction covering a hundred meters in radius, and blasted towards Masked Man!
He wants to force the opponent to become virtual, and then seize that 0.1 second of materialization to give him a fatal blow!
However, this time, Masked Man just tilted his head, and his body completely disappeared into the spiral ripples.
Boom--!!!
The terrifying Ninjutsu blasted a huge pit into the ground.
Kakuzu was breathing heavily, looking at the empty front, his face ashen.
[Asshole! Let him run away!]
He cursed and took back Earth Grudge Fear, but his heart felt cold.
Who is that Masked Man...
He has been with Land of Rain for so many years, and this Masked Man seems to have suddenly appeared out of the ground, without any information about the other party.
He turned his head and looked towards the main battlefield.
I saw Hanzo of the Salamander slowly kneeling on the ground.
The mask on his chest was completely shattered, revealing the old and unwilling face underneath.
"Why... why..."
He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Hatake Sakumo's back.
"Who are you... who do you belong to..."
Hatake Sakumo didn't answer him.
He just walked to Konan, glanced at the dying Yahiko and the exhausted Nagato, and frowned slightly.
"Can you still move?" he asked Konan.
Konan nodded blankly, she had not yet recovered from this shocking reversal.
Is this uncle arranged by Chen-kun... so strong?
Actually, even "Demigod" is no match for him!
"Then take them and follow me."
Hatake Sakumo's tone leaves no room for doubt.
"Stop!"
A loud shout came!
Hanzo of the Salamander, with strong willpower, stood up again!
He clutched his chest, blood gushing out from between his fingers, but his eyes were still burning with the pride and anger of "Demigod".
"It doesn't matter if you are Hatake Sakumo! But do you think... you can get out of Land of Rain by killing me?!"
"I, the ninja of Amegakure, even if I die, I will never let you..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
A black shadow appeared quietly behind him.
Pfft.
A hand easily penetrated his heart.
Hanzo of the Salamander's body stiffened suddenly.
He looked back slowly in disbelief.
What he saw was that weird plant-like creature that was half black and half white.
Black Zetsu.
"Noisy."
Black Zetsu said two words in that hoarse voice, and then slowly took out his hand.
Hanzo of the Salamander, the "Demigod" who had ruled Land of Rain for decades, the last light in his eyes was completely extinguished.
His body fell heavily into the cold rain.
There was dead silence in the whole place.
All the surviving Amegakure ninjas stared blankly at this scene, their minds going blank.
Their god... is dead?
Was killed by a... monster that appeared out of nowhere and was... killed in a sneak attack?
Then before anyone could react, Black Zetsu directly dragged Hanzo of the Salamander's body, blended into the ground, and disappeared in front of everyone.
