The Shadow of Konoha

To Hanyu, the current leader of Amegakure is just an "unknown person", while Hanzo of the Salamander is a well-known figure, so it goes without saying which one is more worthy of assassination... To put it another way, even if the leader of Amegakure is more worthy of assassination, the opponent has already been deflated and bled, so no matter what, Hanyu has only one choice at this time.

"I can certainly guarantee to do what I promised. If you still have doubts, after everything is settled, we can send some people into the village to search, and you will bring back the trapped ninjas yourselves...of course, after putting on gas masks." Hanzo continued to communicate with the Third Hokage. As he spoke, he pointed to the position of his .

"As for my control over Amegakure, you don't have to worry about it. As long as this kind of fog exists, I will..."

Salamander Hanzo wanted to continue to increase his credibility, but at this moment, a very violent chakra reaction came from behind him. Then, a strong sense of crisis made his heart skip a beat. At this time, the intuition honed by years of battles made Hanzo make the most correct response -

He didn't even turn his head, but just curled up his body suddenly, and at this moment pulled the not-yet-dead old master to his side. At the same time, he held the knife in one hand and exerted force suddenly, cutting old lider body into two pieces, while pointing the tip of the knife steadily upwards.

At this time, Hanzo's eyes were lowered to the ground, so he could not see what was happening behind him.

However, the others saw it clearly... Whether it was the Konoha side or the Amegakure people, they saw the same scene at this time.

No, in fact, the word "saw" is not accurate. They just vaguely felt that something passed through their field of vision, and then after a moment of hesitation, their brains automatically completed what had just happened:

In the light blue sky, thunder poured down like mercury.

This most dangerous attack often creates the illusion that one's senses have transcended time, and everything is as quiet as a painting - someone has already painted the content, and now it is just unfolding slowly.

Half of the body of the Rain Hidden Leader was still standing on the ground as before, but the part above his waist had been chopped off by a knife. Then , the hero's head rolled twice under Hanzo's feet and stopped, but the eyes in his head were full of horror and could never close again.

In front of both sides, Hanyu put on a stunning solo show, but...

"Failed..."

Hanyu sighed secretly, lowered his eyes, and saw the long, straight scratch on his breastplate.

He was intending to assassinate, while the opponent was just reacting on the spot, but the latter's judgment accuracy was simply amazing. If the tip of his knife could have moved up an inch, Hanyu's assassination would not only fail, but he would have been killed by the opponent instead.

He is a ninja who deserves the title of "Demi-God". Although Hanzo may be a little insignificant compared with the real God of Ninja, and he may be suspected of being the tallest among short people to get such a title, this man has been able to dominate the ninja world for twenty years, and it is definitely not just his reputation that counts.

The attack just now was the one that Hanyu considered the most satisfying since he became a ninja, but the opponent dodged it. He aimed at Hanzo with a thunder strike, but in the end he only cut off Tanuki's head.

The fight between the two sides this time was barely a 50-50 match. The two even completed a close cooperation and used superb skills to dismember the original Amegakure leader.

Yes, even though the ninjas on both sides were so shocked by Hanyu's performance that they couldn't open their mouths or close their legs, what's the use... A small mistake can lead to a big mistake.

However, Hanyu had already done his best, so although his failure was a pity, he had nothing to regret. He was strong, but his enemy was stronger.

He looked back at Hanzo, knowing that there was no need to use the second part of his ultimate move at this time, so he dispersed the lightning , stepped forward, walked around the Hokage, and walked back to the Konoha team.

At this time, the Konoha ninjas who were serving as the Hokage's guards finally reacted. They should have stopped Hanyu at this time.

Hanzo put away his sword in a rather handsome pose, seemingly calm, but his twitching eyelids and the sweat on his forehead betrayed his mood. Moreover, he had to pretend to be calm and maintain his composure as he continued with what he had just said:

"As long as there is this kind of fog, I can ensure my control over Amegakure."

Everything was as if the assassination had never happened... In fact, he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

If Hanyu's assassination was successful, everything would have a different outcome. However, if it failed, the two sides would have to continue talking about peace.

The Third Hokage first expressed his appreciation for the other party's performance, but then shook his head secretly. It wasn't perfect. Young people are not good at controlling their facial expressions... At this time, he forgot that he was actually not two or three years older than Hanzo.

But he has become an old fox.

"Let's go, retreat. There won't be anything for us to do here from now on, unless you want to learn the adults' dirty political dealings." Hanyu walked up to the trio and said to them.

"Hanyu, you're back." Tsunade said to him. Although she herself was not very clear, this sentence had a double meaning. One was that Hanyu had returned safely from Amegakure, and the other was...

Hanyu no longer seemed to have that unpredictable feeling he had just had.

Konoha has been preparing for a battle for such a long time, and it might end in such a hurry. It seems a bit funny to say it. However, the poisonous fog in front of them is really a very tricky method. Konoha has no way to completely overcome it. If Hanyu was not hiding in the body of Katsuyu, he would not be able to withstand such a toxin.

Therefore, no matter how hard you fight, the final result is most likely to be nothing.

Thinking about the leader of Amegakure who just died with his eyes open, Hanyu suddenly understood. Although Hanzo of the Salamander showed his heroic spirit by overthrowing his superiors, the person he executed was, after all, the leader of Amegakure who was prestigious and had a reputation as a hero. The bad influence brewing from this incident would last for a long time... This might be the cause of the continuous civil strife in Amegakure for the next thirty years.

"Well, I've tried my best after all." Hanyu responded to Tsunade's words, and then he turned his gaze to Jiraiya who was in a very miserable state.

"Jiraiya, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Jiraiya shouldn't have fallen so badly, but he was hit twice, so he fell even worse.

"It's... the result of a natural disaster."

Orochimaru supported the dizzy Jiraiya with one hand and said with his eyelids vertically... Yes, it was just a natural disaster, so no one needs to be responsible for Jiraiya's miserable condition.
