for a moment, he was actually somewhat unable to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Ryosuke had entered the state of the Demonic Mirror Illusion, this made Hanzo of the Salamander’s inner fighting spirit unable to be vented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to continue fighting to his heart’s content, then the only way was to force Mizunuki Ryosuke out of the camouflage state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander pulled off the respirator on his face, exposing his mouth and nose to the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the sky of the ninja world is vast, this is only for ninjas of the great nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these ninjas of small nations, the bottleneck of the small nation itself has limited their space for breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a small nation with limited resources, even if some ninjas show extraordinary talent, they still cannot get good cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows how much price Hanzo of the Salamander paid to get to where he is today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the ninja world, there are at least two digits of countries similar in scale to the Land of Rain, but only one Hanzo of the Salamander has emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain ninjas familiar with Hanzo of the Salamander all know that the strange device he wears on his mouth and nose is not for the sake of being unconventional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he removes this respirator, it is equivalent to pressing the switch of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark green poison gas continuously surged out along Hanzo of the Salamander’s mouth and nose; in an instant, this terrifying poison gas had already filled the surrounding space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dark green poison gas came precisely from the highly toxic creature—the poison of the salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend has it that the salamander grew in a swamp 27 deep in the mountains of the Land of Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This swamp was originally unremarkable, but ever since the salamander arrived, the swamp turned into an eerie \"green.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the mucus secreted from the salamander’s skin made the entire swamp a lifeless poison hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An accident caused the salamander’s poison to follow the river to the village in the Land of Rain at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, hundreds of people in the village were all poisoned to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely this inducement that caused the young Hanzo to have the idea of removing this scourge for the Land of Rain in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the young Hanzo broke into the swamp deep in the mountains alone and engaged in a fierce battle with the highly toxic creature, the salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salamander’s poison lived up to its reputation; soon, Hanzo entered a near-death state because of this deadly poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanzo, nearing death, did not retreat; instead, he was stimulated to have the pride and bloodiness hidden deep in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should a small nation be oppressed by a great nation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should ninjas of a small nation be unable to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would absolutely not die here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his terrifying will, he cut open the salamander’s belly and took out the poison sac in its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the principle of \"fighting poison with poison,\" Hanzo directly cut open his own stomach and sewed the salamander’s poison sac into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows what kind of pain he experienced, and no one knows how he survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hanzo appeared in front of people again, he had completely changed his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He had become a terrifying poison man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with every breath he took, the salamander’s violent poison would continuously surge out from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hanzo of the Salamander\" became his new title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent the poison from accidentally injuring others, Hanzo of the Salamander put on a special respirator for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once he removed the respirator on his mouth and nose, it meant that the poisonous hell would descend upon the world once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why, when Hanzo of the Salamander gave the order to move aside just now, a group of Rain ninjas retreated to the distance one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they knew clearly in their hearts that this terrifying poison did not distinguish between friend and foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Demonic Mirror Illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison gas invaded the Demonic Mirror Illusion along the gaps of the ice mirrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark green poison gas had already drifted to the eyes of Mizunuki Ryosuke and Tsunade at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, the two inhaled a certain amount of poison gas separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the two felt a sense of spinning, and the reactions after being poisoned began to appear on the two’s bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, both were experts in Yang Release and had their own ways of removing poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have died under the salamander’s highly toxic poison in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not a long-term solution; over a long period, even Tsunade and Mizunuki Ryosuke would not be able to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Ryosuke’s experience, no matter what kind of poison it is, it can generally be classified into two categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is \"blood toxin\" that acts on the human blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other is \"neurotoxin\" that acts on the human nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no distinction between the two types of poison; as long as the degree is sufficient, both can easily cause death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to his own poisoning symptoms, Ryosuke had already concluded that the salamander’s poison belonged to an extremely dangerous neurotoxin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large amount of neurotoxin accumulation would sooner or later cause all the nerves in the body to die! At that time, even if the Heavenly King came, he wouldn't be able to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Tsunade was also clearly aware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know that regarding Yang Release, especially the mastery of medical ninjutsu, Tsunade, who specializes in Yang Release, was even a line higher than Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade’s heart was anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Release ninjutsu is not omnipotent; breaking poison often requires additional research and preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top medical ninja, although Tsunade carried several types of antidotes, they could not take effect under such violent neurotoxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was somewhat panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, ten minutes had passed since Ryosuke and Hanzo of the Salamander started fighting; logically speaking, it was already the time agreed upon with the Katsuyu Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Katsuyu Sage had not given Tsunade any feedback, which meant that she and Mizunuki Ryosuke still needed some time to be rescued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most urgent task was not to let the poisoning situation continue to worsen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanzo of the Salamander’s poison spreads outward in the form of \"poison gas\"; reducing the inhalation of poison gas can effectively alleviate the symptoms of poisoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Tsunade did not hesitate anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised both hands, her arms exerted slight force, cupped Mizunuki Ryosuke’s cheeks, and turned them gently to face her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Mizunuki Ryosuke widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to care about feeling this strange touch, 677 his line of sight was already completely immersed in a pair of emerald beautiful eyes filled with shyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the spring dries up, the fish are together on the land, moistening each other with spit, and moistening each other with foam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like fish that have fallen onto the shore, moistening each other with spit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they were also breathing the oxygen from each other’s mouths to the fullest to avoid further erosion by Hanzo of the Salamander’s poison gas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how long passed; perhaps it was a second, perhaps it was a minute, or perhaps it was a lifetime...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a gentle female voice rang in Tsunade’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to keep you waiting, Little Tsunade, I have prepared everything on my end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice fell, the two who were hugging tightly disappeared from the spot simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the Hanzo residence in the Rain Village, because of the traces of the reverse summoning technique, a circle of smoke rose from the place where the two had been just now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1573,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3bc8e906e9b307bd2b7d950cb0f8a1a5b68ca301f92536de822aca066c768160","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-177","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-175",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
