Chapter 242: A high-level game where everyone is almost wiped out! That disgusting aura!
The battle between Hanzo and Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade... and nearly 240 elites from various Shinobi Clans!
It could be described as a nation-destroying event!
The earth continuously tore and stretched!
All sorts of Ninjutsu and Ninja tools, under the dark and unpredictable storm clouds, unleashed bursts of sonic booms!
Hanzo, in his peak state, was incredibly strong! Incredibly strong!
But as long as he was human, there was always a certain limit!
During the continuous battle, as Hanzo ruthlessly killed Konoha Ninja one after another, the strong ones of Konoha also left an unyielding mark on the "Demigod"!
"Hanzo! You bastard! Stop it..."
After two hours of fighting, Hanzo's chain scythe sliced across the throat of the last Elite Jonin of the Senju Clan...
That was... currently, in the entire high-level engagement, the only remaining Konoha Ninja apart from Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade!
In other words, by this moment, their painstakingly prepared beheading squad had been completely annihilated by Hanzo!
"Stop?"
"Shouldn't you have anticipated this outcome long ago?"
"But you still chose this path!"
"It wasn't me who killed them, it was you!"
"It was your lucky (jiǎoxìng -lucky), and your weakness... that utterly buried them!"
"Making their deaths utterly meaningless..."
Blood soaked Hanzo's battle armor.
Some of it was the enemy's, and some was his own.
Fighting to this extent, even Hanzo's Chakra was on the verge of depletion.
However, relying on his powerful swordsmanship and the threat of Ibuse's poison, he still possessed the combat power to look down on Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade at this moment!
"Bastard! Tsūtenkyaku!"
"Tsunade! Be careful!"
"Ninja Art: Needle Jizo!"
Facing the chilling blade light, Jiraiya rushed to Tsunade's front immediately!
Although he barely managed to block the terrifying attack, the terrifying aftermath still sent both of them flying dozens of meters away!
"Damn it! As expected of someone known as the "Demigod" of the Ninja World!"
"Even now, he still has strength left!"
Facing the pressure coming at him, Jiraiya had no time to ponder.
For example, in past battles, why was the endurance displayed by his teacher, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, weaker than Hanzo's?
"Jiraiya! Tsunade... are you two alright!"
In a burst of air, after a brief close-quarters interception, Orochimaru was kicked over by Hanzo, making them a complete set!
"I'm fine... but my Chakra is depleted!"
"Orochimaru! This battle... I'm afraid we're going to lose!"
Witnessing countless subordinates die in battle, that feeling of powerlessness and pain constantly assaulted Jiraiya's heart.
What is war? What is a Ninja? What is peace?
Why must there be conflicts and wars between Ninja Villages?
What is the Child of Prophecy mentioned by the Toad Sage?
Can his existence truly end the disputes of the Ninja World?
Can he usher in a new era after the First Hokage established the Ninja Villages?
"Jiraiya! Tsunade! This time... we have lost!"
"Hanzo is right!"
"Ultimately, we were too weak..."
Jiraiya was not the only one touched by this battle.
Orochimaru was equally affected.
Perhaps, this was the first time since he stepped into the Kage level that he felt such an intense craving for power.
"Next, leave this place to me!"
"Jiraiya! Take Tsunade and go first!"
"Orochimaru! You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting!"
As companions who grew up together, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya had, to some extent, reached a state of mutual understanding.
Therefore, the moment Orochimaru's voice fell, Jiraiya understood Orochimaru's plan.
In a furious rage, he grabbed Orochimaru by the collar and pulled him forward!
"Orochimaru! If anyone's leaving, it's you and Tsunade!"
"I'll stay behind to cover your retreat!"
"Both of your Ninja talents are better than mine!"
"If it's you two, you will definitely surpass Hanzo in the future!"
"You two bastards! What do you take me for!"
"I never said I was going to run!"
Although her Chakra was exhausted, Tsunade's superhuman physical strength was not something just anyone could enjoy.
Almost as soon as the two embraced, two fist-sized bumps appeared on the backs of Orochimaru and Jiraiya's heads at a visible speed!
"Although I'm annoyed by the things those Old fellows in the clan talk about, the glory of the Senju Clan must never fall with me!"
"Let's fight to the death! Orochimaru! Jiraiya!"
"Let's stake our bonds! Let's stake all our beliefs!"
"Hey! Tsunade... when did you become so passionate!"
"Although it's a bit unfamiliar, you're right, Tsunade!"
"Orochimaru! Let's have another grand fight!"
"Hmm! Let's do as you say..."
Looking down at the re-energized Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, Hanzo did not choose to attack immediately.
Instead, his gaze blurred for a moment as he recalled distant memories.
Decades ago, when he first embarked on the path of a Ninja, he also had a group of trustworthy companions.
Just like these Konoha youngsters in front of him, they had all encountered insurmountable despair.
In battle after battle, ultimately, only he survived.
However, when he stood at his current height and looked back at all the despair of the past, it was nothing more than that.
"Orochimaru! Jiraiya! Tsunade!"
"It seems you have made your choice!"
After an unknown amount of time, when Hanzo looked up again, a heavy pressure once again enveloped the three.
"Hanzo! Come on!"
"As long as we are alive, the will of fire will not be extinguished!"
"Is that so!"
"Then let me witness with my own eyes what power the will of fire, passed down by the First Hokage, can bestow upon you!"
As he murmured, Hanzo once again raised the chain scythe in his hand.
However, the chilling blade light, just as it approached the three, mysteriously made a wide circle, then slashed diagonally towards the slope 150 meters to Orochimaru's left at several times its previous speed!
Due to the rain, there was no so-called sky-filling dust.
However, the muffled sound of collapse was now louder than thunder!
A casual strike was enough to prove the "Demigod's" power!
"Hanzo... you damned bastard! Are you trying to humiliate us!"
Hanzo's actions naturally exceeded the expectations of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.
Although they were not clear about Hanzo's true intentions at this moment, whether it was the hot-tempered Tsunade or Jiraiya and Orochimaru, they all felt a blatant humiliation.
"Konoha brat! Come out!"
"The first time this Old fellow saw you, I already noted that annoying aura!"
"Do you naively think that such clumsy hiding methods can allow you to escape this Old fellow's perception?"
