Chapter 248 We are trustworthy seniors! Breakthrough: Elite Jonin!
"Hanzo! Let him go! We'll fight you!"
Staring at the blood continuously seeping from Fujiwara Tetsuya's neck!
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade's expressions grew increasingly grim!
"You were the ones who forced this kid to challenge me!"
"And you're also the ones telling me to let this kid go!"
"Konoha's juniors... Have you forgotten our respective positions?"
"Or do you think I'm so easily fooled!"
"Am I going to die... Damn it, I overestimated myself!"
While Hanzo and the three — Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade — were verbally sparring!
Fujiwara Tetsuya was deeply ensnared by that endless killing intent!
Feeling the sharp pain in his throat!
Fujiwara Tetsuya! After arriving in the Ninja World!
He experienced for the second time... what fear truly was!
However! This time, unlike the previous time when he was targeted by the Three-Tails in the Misty Sea Region!
He! More clearly felt... the presence of death!
"System! System... come out!"
"I'm about to die!"
"At least show me a hand to get me out of Hanzo's control first, will you?"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's frantic shouts in his mind!
Were ignored by the System!
Perhaps due to rules! Or... it simply didn't possess such an ability!
"Lord Hanzo... can we talk?"
In a situation where his calls to the heavens and earth went unanswered!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, at the moment of complete despair!
Could only entrust his last hope to talk-no-jutsu!
"Talk? Talk about what?"
"Konoha's kid? You absolutely must not beg for mercy from me!"
"That would only make me despise you more! And make you die faster!"
"A smart kid like you should understand!"
"The moment you attacked Hidden Rain Village and killed Inmemaru! You already became my enemy!"
"Enemy, huh!"
Perceiving the unwavering resolve in Hanzo's tone!
Fujiwara Tetsuya... in the abyss of despair!
Had no choice but to face one fact!
That was, in Hanzo's eyes!
He was not equivalent to Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade!
For Konoha! For Hiruzen Sarutobi!
He was not an indispensable existence!
"Kid! I will remember your name!"
"And after you die! I will properly bury your body!"
"Goodbye..."
"Orochimaru! Are you not ready yet!"
Just as the chain scythe in Hanzo's hand tightened once more!
Amidst Jiraiya's frantic roar!
Orochimaru finally moved!
"Ninja Art: Snake Mouth Bind!"
Two giant snakes, each over twenty meters long! The moment Orochimaru's voice fell!
Broke through the thick rock beneath Hanzo's feet and emerged!
One opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Hanzo!
The other! Swallowed Fujiwara Tetsuya, person and sword, in one gulp, then swiftly returned behind Orochimaru and the other two!
"Orochimaru! Jiraiya! Tsunade!"
"I should have warned you three! Not to interfere!"
Orochimaru's move!
Evidently enraged the determined Hanzo!
In an instant of cold shouting!
Two brilliant sword lights slashed upwards!
Directly cutting the snake that lunged at him into several pieces at the waist!
"Jiraiya! Tsunade! Prepare for a fight to the death!"
"After all! The enraged 'Demigod'! That's a form no one has ever seen before!"
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Hanzo!
Orochimaru's pupils constricted repeatedly!
If he hadn't misjudged!
In the previous battle... the combat power Hanzo displayed!
Was not his limit!
"Cough ~ Senior Orochimaru!"
"Can the upcoming battle... still be left to me!"
Just as Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were about to make their move!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, covered in slime, had already crawled out of the foul-smelling snake's mouth!
Although he was quite disheveled!
But, unlike before!
At this moment, Fujiwara Tetsuya! Had completely broken free from the emotions of death, despair, and fear!
In his eyes! That unignorable light flickered once again!
"Tetsuya-kun! Don't be foolish!"
"You've already fought Hanzo!"
"You should know! The gap between you... and him now!"
"At your age! To have achieved this much is already incredibly impressive!"
"Leave the rest to us!"
"Don't worry! We are... trustworthy seniors!"
"Am I right, Tsunade! Orochimaru!"
At the moment several dull thunderclaps sounded!
Dazzling lightning!
Like a candle cutting through the darkness!
At this moment! It stretched the figures of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade long!
"Indeed! Senior Jiraiya! You are absolutely right!"
"Whether it's you! Or Senior Orochimaru! Senior Tsunade!"
"All are extremely trustworthy!"
"However! That is your choice! Not mine!"
"You have your beliefs! And I... also have my persistence!"
While listening to Jiraiya's admonishment!
Fujiwara Tetsuya had already washed off the slime from his body with the accumulated water on the ground!
Holding kirimaru, he once again walked in front of the three!
"Lord Hanzo! I killed the person! I also destroyed Hidden Rain Village!"
"Since you want my life so much!"
"Then please fight me one more time!"
"Tetsuya-kun..."
"Jiraiya! Stop!"
"Don't stop him!"
"For a Ninja who dares to uphold his Ninja Way with his life!"
"At this moment! For you to stop Tetsuya-kun... don't you think it's an insult to him?"
"But! Orochimaru..."
"I know! There is still an insurmountable chasm between Tetsuya-kun and Lord Hanzo!"
"But that is not a reason for us to stop him now!"
Seeing Jiraiya still wanting to step forward!
Orochimaru simply placed his right hand on Jiraiya's shoulder!
Only then did he pull Jiraiya back!
"Jiraiya! Don't worry!"
"Now! Our Chakra has recovered somewhat!"
"If necessary! We can totally make a move before Hanzo kills Tetsuya-kun!"
..."Konoha's kid!"
"I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"
"Too bad! You were too ruthless!"
"Otherwise! I would have let you off!"
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya, who was walking over!
Hanzo glanced at Ibuse, who was still fiercely battling Shinya!
He chuckled softly! And walked towards Fujiwara Tetsuya!
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Eighteen Empty Strikes!"
"Swordsmanship: Chain Scythe Eighteen-Stage Strike!"
[Ding! Detecting a drastic fluctuation in the host's mental state! Congratulations to the host for breaking through the Elite Jonin barrier! Strength increasing...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for increased strength! Successfully promoted to Elite Jonin! Chakra permanently increased by 50%! Physique permanently increased by 30%! Awarding 5000 Killing Points!]
Elite Jonin? I broke through just like that?
Hearing the system prompt in his mind!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's expression paused! And he was instantly smashed into the rubble by Hanzo's strike!
Although his blood and Qi were constantly churning, making him appear extremely disheveled!
But all of this!
Could not make one ignore!
The gradually rising aura on Fujiwara Tetsuya!
This day! It had finally arrived!
