Battle

Sensing danger, Uzumaki Hane leaped to the right to dodge the attack. Just as she regained her balance, she discovered that Sakai Jiro was gone.

Suddenly, Uzumaki Hane felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end. He quickly turned around and found Sakai Jiro standing behind him. Uzumaki Hane was secretly surprised. "Such speed." His right hand swelled to ten times its normal size and slammed towards the other party.

Sakai Jiro remained calm, and with a flash of light in his hand, Uzumaki Hane's Magma Arm fell directly to the ground.

Uzumaki Hane was shocked and quickly retreated, but Sakai Jiro instantly slashed out again, cutting a wound in Uzumaki Hane's stomach, through which magma could be vaguely seen surging.

Uzumaki Hane retreated ten meters away, his body surging with magma, healing his wounds. Then, his feet quickly turned into lava, transforming the surrounding earth into lava. He continuously shot lava at Sakai Jiro, but Sakai Jiro was too fast, and the lava couldn't hit him at all. Sakai Jiro Sakai Jiro the lava while charging towards Uzumaki Hane.

Before long, Sakai Jiro arrived in front of Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane directly summoned lava, quickly forming a Magma Wall in front of him. Sakai Jiro kicked out quickly, but before the wall could form, he kicked Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane hadn't anticipated Sakai Jiro's speed and was kicked away. She immediately stood up, but Uzumaki Hane Sakai Jiro's figure flashed rapidly around Uzumaki Hane, making it impossible for her to see him clearly.

Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Magma Mode!" Magma began to erupt from his body, transforming him into a magma human.

Sakai Jiro rushed to Uzumaki Hane's side, his sword flashing as he slashed into Uzumaki Hane's shoulder, sending countless streams of lava flying.

The lava splashed onto Sakai Jiro's hand, instantly scorching the skin and flesh. Then, he felt the knife in his hand suddenly become scalding hot, Sakai Jiro frowned.

Uzumaki Hane extended her left hand, gripped the sword, and reached for Sakai Jiro's chest with her right. Sakai Jiro swiftly spun his sword, severing Uzumaki Hane's magma arm. Then, in a flash, he retreated three meters away, looking at Uzumaki Hane and saying, "You're too slow."

Uzumaki Hane said solemnly, "But you can't hurt me. What's the use of being fast?" The lava flowed, and his arm quickly recovered.

Sakai Jiro frowned again and said, "You ninjas are monsters."

Uzumaki Hane charged towards Sakai Jiro, shouting, "Hell Hound!" and reached out with his right hand to grab Sakai Jiro.

Sakai Jiro snorted coldly, raised his sword, and steadily blocked the Uzumaki's Magma Arm.

Uzumaki Hane's lips curled up, and he spewed out scalding magma from his right hand. Sakai Jiro's expression hardened, and he instantly sliced through Uzumaki Hane's magma arm with his sword. Then, he quickly swung his sword to block the incoming magma.

Uzumaki Hane leaped up, a lava javelin appearing in his hand, and shot it fiercely towards Sakai Jiro.

With a loud shout, Sakai Jiro swung his sword and cleaved the lava javelin in two at its center.

Then, Sakai Jiro flashed and instantly appeared in front of Uzumaki Hane, slashing down with his sword. Uzumaki Hane ignored him and grabbed directly at Sakai Jiro's chest with his right hand.

Sakai Jiro knew that if things continued this way, although he could hit Uzumaki Hane, he might not be able to hurt him, and his own chest would definitely be pierced. Thinking of this, Sakai Jiro changed his move on the spot, holding his sword upright in front of him to block Uzumaki Hane Yu's Magma Arm.

Seeing his attack blocked by his sword, Uzumaki Hane grabbed it with his left hand and, together with his right, firmly grasped it. The scalding magma tried to melt it; if it weren't for this sword, Sakai Jiro would have had a hard time attacking him and would have been burned by his own magma instead.

Sakai Jiro immediately saw through Uzumaki Hane's intention, and with a sudden burst of strength, he cleaved through the magma enveloping his sword, his body quickly retreating backward.

Uzumaki Hane's hopes were dashed, and with a sudden swing of his arm, hundreds of Magma Senbon shot towards Sakai Jiro. Sakai Jiro's sword blurred into afterimages, deflecting all the needles.

Uzumaki Hane scoffed, "This is what you call power? It doesn't look like much at all."

Sakai Jiro said coldly, "I don't believe you still have that much Chakra," and charged towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane shouted, "My Chakra is enough to kill you." Then he pressed his hands on the ground, and the earth began to melt, surging towards Sakai Jiro from Uzumaki Hane's center.

Sakai Jiro quickly retreated, and suddenly a lava hound emerged from the lava, charging towards him. Sakai Jiro and cleaved the lava hound in two with a single strike. The lava hound then turned back into lava and fell to the ground.

Two more lava dogs emerged from the lava and pounced on Sakai Jiro.

With a flash of light, Sakai Jiro's blade sliced the two lava hounds in half.

Sakai Jiro's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Uzumaki Hane and said, "This kind of technique is useless against me. Once your Chakra is exhausted, I will cut off your dog's head to avenge my brother."

A mocking look appeared in Uzumaki Hane's eyes as he said, "That's only if you can do it, Magma Wall." Four Magma Wall rose from the ground around Sakai Jiro, surrounding him.

Sakai Jiro remained calm and shouted, "Let the lava flow underground and slowly surround me. It will indeed be difficult for me to find you. But do you think you can trap me like this?" Gripping his sword tightly, he roared and cleaved through the Sakai Jiro Magma Wall, emerging from it.

A gigantic Rock Fist came crashing down on him. Sakai Jiro had no way to dodge it. He roared and slashed out with his sword, but the lava splashed up and then hit Sakai Jiro directly.

Looking at Sakai Jiro engulfed in lava, Uzumaki Hane said, "I only need to trap you for a moment."

Suddenly, a crescent-shaped plume of lava shot into the sky, and then Sakai Jiro jumped out.

At this moment, Sakai Jiro's body was covered in charred marks, and even more seriously, his left arm had been burned off, leaving only his right arm to hold his sword, whose blade had been melted down by a third. Sakai Jiro's eyes were filled with madness as he shouted, "Die... die..." and charged towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane clasped her hands together, transforming them into a two-headed lava dog, and charged towards Sakai Ichiro. Sakai Jiro seemed to have gone mad, not dodging at all, and slashed down with his sword, cutting the two-headed dog in two. Then he continued to charge towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane Yu shouted, "Great Eruption!" A giant Rock Fist slammed towards Sakai Jiro.

Sakai Jiro did not dodge, and his sword slashed down, this time splitting a fifth of the fist. However, the Rock Fist was too big and was engulfed by the lava.

Bang! Sakai Jiro struggled free again, letting out a frantic scream, "Ah... ah..." Then, a dazzling light emanated from his body. Uzumaki Hane felt that Sakai Jiro's temperature had instantly reached a terrifying level; even Uzumaki Hane felt a scorching heat. It's worth noting that Uzumaki Hane hadn't felt heat since obtaining the Magma-Magma Fruit. Then, Sakai Jiro seemed to be burned by flames, instantly turning to ashes. A purple meteor fell—the very meteor Sakai Jiro had swallowed.

Uzumaki Hane walked over, picked up the meteor, and murmured, "Sakai Jiro's death just now must have been caused by this meteor. What a pity, I didn't expect it to have such a side effect." Thinking that if she used this meteor, she would end up like Sakai Jiro, she felt a chill run down her spine.

However, I never expected that the meteor would be so powerful, enough to bring an ordinary samurai like Sakai Ichiro to such a state. If he hadn't encountered me, he would have been killed by an ordinary Jonin.

Uzumaki Hane put away the meteor and returned to the inn.

Hyuga Tanaka has regained consciousness, while Sakai Fuji, upon learning that Sakai Ichiro and Sakai Jiro are dead, cannot help but weep bitterly.
