Uya watched Hanzo of the Salamander's actions indifferently, too lazy to stop him. It wasn't until the Rain Ninja retreated to the edge of the rock wall behind the canyon and Hanzo of the Salamander was ready that he spoke calmly.
Are you ready?
"Snort!"
Hanzo of the Salamander snorted coldly. Uya's words sounded like Jonin lecturing Genin, which displeased him greatly, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
We'll have to see how Uya's strength develops. If it doesn't increase much, then we'll leave Uya here today. One person is enough to claim the title of Demigod of the Ninja World!
Yahiko and the Rain Ninja all looked towards the arena, speechless at Uya's appearance, because it didn't look like a battle between enemies at all.
Facing the enemy, they actually asked others if they were ready, as if a teacher were instructing their students. How could this be a battle where life and death could be decided in an instant?
Seeing Hanzo of the Salamander's expression, Uya finally reached out, gently clenched her fist, and then threw a punch at Hanzo of the Salamander.
He threw that punch with great seriousness, like a Genin diligently practicing his punches, delivering a perfectly executed punch.
The punch was thrown with effortless ease, without the slightest abnormality, even causing the Rain Ninja to show contempt, thinking that Uya wouldn't dare to unleash a real attack on Hanzo of the Salamander, lest he reveal his true strength.
But, the moment that punch landed, everything changed.
Buzz!!!
In that Setsuna, it seemed as if the world had darkened, and a terrifying aura swept across all directions, causing the thick, dark clouds in the sky to churn violently, like a giant Uzumaki.
The instant the fist stopped, the empty air in front of it suddenly began to distort in a strange way that was visible to the naked eye, as if space itself had been twisted by that punch!
This is Shockwave formed by condensing the Power of Tremors of vibration!
Almost Setsuna, this invisible ripple spread outwards, just like a fish swimming from the calm surface of a lake to its center.
It looks extremely slow, but it's actually incredibly fast; the eye can see it, but the body can't keep up at all!
Hanzo of the Salamander had already Hand Seals the moment Uya began throwing his punch.
He knew that Uya's attack power was very strong, so he planned to use an A-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu to temporarily block it, and then quickly retreat. While retreating, he would use an A-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu. If he really couldn't block it, he could use Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
But when Uya's fist actually landed, Hanzo of the Salamander finally realized that all his ideas were useless!
A-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu?
In an instant, it vanished without a trace, turning into endless dust!
A-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu?
There was simply no time to activate it, not even enough Body Flicker Technique. The speed at which the ripples spread was visible to the eye, but the body barely had time to react.
In just a moment, the ripples swept past Hanzo of the Salamander's A-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu, past his body, past the Rain Ninja behind him, and past the entire canyon!
Hanzo of the Salamander's expression froze; his eyes showed no fear or horror, only a moment of stunned silence.
In his final moments, his consciousness went blank.
They had lost the ability to think; there was no fear or horror, only a blankness, and they just stood there, stunned.
The expressions of the Rain Ninja behind them all froze for a moment.
Horror, fear, despair, disbelief... all sorts of emotions were frozen on their faces, as if they were painted into a picture.
Silently.
In the next instant, directly in front of Uya, first the Earth Release Earth Release used by Hanzo of the Salamander was instantly turned into dust, then Hanzo of the Salamander's body, followed by the bodies of the Rain Ninja, and finally the rock wall on one side of the canyon.
A terrifying void appeared before Uya, not only piercing through this layer of rock wall and opening up the adjacent canyon, but also spreading endlessly, leaving only a hole that looked like a bullet piercing through countless wooden planks!
This punch... had already pierced through the entire canyon!
Whether it was the Rain Ninja or Hanzo of the Salamander, Demigod of the Ninja World, they were all wiped out by this one punch!
The God of the Shinobi World and the Demigod of the Ninja World may seem similar, but the actual difference between them is like heaven and earth, and they are simply incomparable.
Hashirama Senju, known as the God of the Shinobi World, once used Wood Release to completely alter the landscape of the Land of Fire, creating countless forests and making Konoha's resources surpass those of all other major nations, thus laying the foundation for the greatest ninja village.
Hanzo of the Salamander was utterly powerless against this level of strength, and couldn't even escape!
Although Uya was not as good as Hashirama Senju, he was not far off. With one punch, Hanzo of the Salamander actually tried to withstand it. By the time he realized he couldn't take it and tried to dodge with the Body Flicker Technique, he had already lost his chance.
Behind him, Yahiko stood there, completely stunned.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, revealing a dreamlike and incredulous expression. It was as if a million thunderbolts were roaring and exploding in his mind, leaving him completely blank and only in shock.
A single punch pierced through a canyon that stretched for an unknown distance—what incredible power!
Uya shattered all of Yahiko's previous impressions of Uya in an instant. In Yahiko's eyes, the Uya of the past and the Uya of the present were not the same person at all!
"Isn't this a bit over the top..."
Even though Uya Kushina, she couldn't help but have a glint in her beautiful eyes as she watched this scene, with a hint of shock in them.
She originally thought that Uya would only use a portion of his power, but she didn't expect that Uya would use his full strength. So he not only annihilated Hanzo of the Salamander, but also changed the terrain, piercing through all the canyons here!
"The opponent is Demigod of the Ninja World; we'll have to go all out."
Uya turned around, looked at Kushina, and gave a light smile.
Kushina wore a helpless expression. Uya's words were clearly a mockery of Hanzo of the Salamander, implying that he had no right to bear the title of a Demigod of the Ninja World.
The title of Demigod of the Ninja World is only worthy of Uya.
In fact, Kushina believed that Uya was now very close to becoming the God of the Shinobi World; at least in terms of strength, he was definitely capable!
To be able to single-handedly destroy a great nation, and even alter its topography, such power is akin to that of a god, hence the title "God of the Shinobi World "! (To be continued.)
