Chapter 208

Land of Wind, Kazekaze Plain.

The fertile land that used to have pleasant scenery has now become devastated.

Countless Sand ninja wearing gauze robes and Rain ninja wearing rubber raincoats are killing each other; every second, blood soaks this land.

From the perspective of quantity, the Rain ninja occupy an absolute advantage.

But in terms of the quality of low-level ninja, the Sand ninja are crushing them one-sidedly.

On the battlefield, there are often situations where 2-3 Rain ninja of the middle and lower levels face one Sand ninja of the same level.

And in terms of high-end combat power, the two sides are currently maintaining a balance.

Both sides have dispatched about fifty Jonin.

Such a large-scale mobilization of combat power is enough to prove that both sides have gone all out.

This battle will also determine the outcome of the war between the Sand ninja and the Rain ninja.

In the very center of the Kazekaze Plain, at this moment, neither the Rain ninja nor the Sand ninja dare to approach.

Because here, the competition of the top forces of both sides is taking place.

"CLANG!!!!"

Internal Group 5191223

As long as one gets slightly close, one can hear the earth-shaking sound of weapons colliding; the dense sound of steel colliding makes one feel ear pain just by getting slightly close.

Hanzo of the Salamander constantly waves the flying sickle in his hand, blocking the dense attacks that are like a tide one by one.

It is hard to imagine that with Hanzo of the Salamander's peak-level close-combat standard in the ninja world, he would actually be suppressed.

That's right, at this very moment, the dignified demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo of the Salamander, is actually being suppressed in close combat.

This is not because the opponent's close-combat strength is so powerful, but because his opponents—there are a full ten of them!

White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten Puppets!

The ten puppets made by the puppet master ancestor Monzaemon, each puppet has separate weapons, ninja tools, and attack methods, and they are the highest-level refined puppets.

A cold light flashed in Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes; he suddenly raised the flying sickle in his hand and used his proud technique—Iai!

"SWISH!!!!!"

The sickle blade with a cold glint cut three puppets wearing white windbreakers in half with one strike; the terrifying destructive power made people feel a shock.

And before Hanzo of the Salamander could catch his breath, three more puppets immediately attacked him from both sides.

At the same time, the puppets in the distance were also constantly firing poisonous hidden weapons at him, as well as various harassing explosives, making Hanzo fall into defense once again.

And on the opposite side, the one fighting Hanzo of the Salamander and manipulating the puppets to launch attacks is the puppet master—the elder of the Hidden Sand Village, Chiyo.

At this moment, Chiyo is just over fifty years old, far from being as decrepit as she is in the anime, becoming "Granny Chiyo."

As a puppet master, Chiyo is in her peak period.

By Chiyo's side, her younger brother Ebizo is assisting Chiyo.

Whenever a puppet of the White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten Puppets is destroyed by Hanzo of the Salamander, he will timely use puppets to fill the vacancy of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets.

Then immediately recall the destroyed Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, repair them at a very fast speed, and put them back into the battlefield.

The sister and brother, one attacking and one responsible for defense and assistance, actually fought Hanzo of the Salamander to a draw for a time.

At this moment, seeing three Chikamatsu Ten Puppets destroyed by Hanzo with one sickle, Ebizo calmly released three spare puppets to fill the vacancy of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets.

Then he recalled the three puppets for repairs; taking this opportunity, Chiyo manipulated other puppets to continue fighting Hanzo of the Salamander.

As the battle deepened, a flash of anger appeared in Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes.

He has roamed the ninja world for many years, and this is the first time he has fought so suffocatingly.

Even when facing ordinary Kage-level powerhouses, Hanzo has never seen anyone who could match him in head-on combat, let alone such an existence that could suppress him.

In the past, Hanzo of the Salamander had also fought puppet masters, but he had never encountered such a difficult puppet master.

But under the perfect cooperation of the sister and brother, both attack and defense were perfect, making Hanzo unable to find any flaws at all.

It must be said that the profession of puppet master somewhat counters ninja who specialize in taijutsu.

Whether it is one-on-many in close combat or the toxins and manipulation techniques that puppet masters are good at, they are a great threat to taijutsu-type ninja.

But if one only regards Hanzo of the Salamander as an ordinary taijutsu ninja, then one would be greatly mistaken.

Fighting to this point, Hanzo of the Salamander has already figured out the abilities of the two people on the opposite side, so he no longer had the patience to continue entangling with them.

Secret Technique: Mud Iron Cannon!

Taking advantage of a gap, Hanzo of the Salamander quickly formed seals and spat out a huge mud bomb with a diameter of at least thirty meters.

Subsequently, Hanzo of the Salamander quickly pulled back to gain some space for himself.

Facing the huge mud bomb, Chiyo was unhurried and manipulated three Chikamatsu Ten Puppets marked with "Buddha," "Dharma," and "Sangha" to block in front of the mud bomb.

Secret Technique: Three Treasures Suction Crush!

With the huge wind pressure, the mud bomb flew over; the "Buddha," "Dharma," and "Sangha" puppets suddenly combined into a triangle and simultaneously made a sealing gesture.

The next instant, a huge suction force appeared in the center of the three puppets, and the terrifying wind pressure absorbed and compressed all objects in front of them.

Even the Mud Iron Cannon used by Hanzo could not move at all in the face of this powerful wind pressure.

"BOOM!!!"

Finally, under the terrifying suction and wind pressure of the Three Treasures Suction Crush, the large mud bomb was annihilated into residue.

At the same time, taking advantage of this period, Hanzo of the Salamander had already completed his preparations, ready to bring out all his strength.

Summoning Technique: Salamander Ibuse.

.

"POOF!"

A huge poisonous creature ten meters high was summoned by Hanzo of the Salamander.

"WAAAAAA!!!!!!"

With the appearance of the poisonous salamander, a strange cry like a baby's was transmitted into the air, and at the same time, a fishy, poisonous smell permeated the air.

"Not good..."

Seeing this, Chiyo also knew that Hanzo was going to use his full strength, so she hurriedly turned around and looked at Ebizo.

The two nodded separately, swallowed a yellow pill from their bosoms, and then covered their mouths and noses.

Hanzo of the Salamander took off his respirator, formed seals with both hands, and then slapped the top of the salamander's head under his feet.

Secret Technique: Poison Mist Spray!

In an instant, a massive amount of purple, highly toxic poison mist was spat out from the mouths of the man and the fish.

The terrifying purple poison mist began to permeate from the center of the Kazekaze Plain to the surroundings.

Because most of the Rain ninja were wearing respirators and had the antidote distributed by Hanzo in advance, they were not affected by the poison mist.

Instead, some Sand ninja who could not dodge in time fell to the ground foaming at the mouth the moment they touched the poison mist.

"Retreat quickly!!!!"

A Sand ninja was shocked and hurriedly called his companions to retreat.

Facing such terrifying poison gas, even the Sand ninja, known for their toughness and stubbornness, were scared and retreated one by one without looking back.

"Hmph hmph!!!!"

"What great nation ninja!"

"Long live Lord Hanzo!"

The Rain ninja under their respirators were overjoyed and shouted excitedly toward the sky, chasing after the retreating Sand ninja.
