Chapter 314

"CLANG!!!"

Another heavy blow from Salamander Hanzo; the huge force coming from Samehada directly made Kisame retreat a full three meters.

"Not good!"

At this moment, Kisame was suddenly shocked; a dangerous aura rose from his heart, but his still-numb arms were already powerless to parry.

"Hoo..."

After slashing Kisame away with one sickle, Sanshouuo Hanzo suddenly took a deep breath, and a sharp cold light radiated from his body.

"SHING!!!"

The next second, he raised the sickle in his hand high and slashed down toward Kisame three meters away.

This move made even Ryosuke on the side reveal a solemn expression.

If he didn't make a move, I'm afraid Kisame would be defeated next...

In the current ninja world, I'm afraid Sanshouuo Hanzo's close-combat level could rank in the top three.

Without hesitation, Ryosuke flashed and blocked in front of Kisame.

At the same time, following Sanshouuo Hanzo's heavy slash, a sharp cold light slashed toward Kisame!

This was an extremely high-level close-combat technique, named: Iai!

Experts proficient in this path could emit sharp attacks similar to "sword energy" through the slashing of their weapons.

Such techniques had almost gone extinct in the ninja world, but in the Land of Iron, which was covered in ice and snow all year round, there were still violent groups called "Samurai" who studied such techniques.

The cold light carrying an extremely sharp aura was about to slash onto Ryosuke.

He slowly extended one hand forward, and a layer of transparent ice wall immediately condensed in the air.

Under the extreme low temperature, this ice wall had extremely terrifying hardness.

"DING!"

After Sanshouuo Hanzo's Iai slash hit the ice wall, it was like hitting steel; after leaving a shallow mark on the ice wall, it disappeared.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's sudden move also meant that the significance of the situation had become entirely different.

And the Ice Release Ryosuke displayed also made Sanshouuo Hanzo completely determine the identities of the two before him.

If the Samehada sword in Kisame's hand was just a coincidence, then the iconic Ice Release of the Mizunuki clan completely explained the identities of the two.

Once an expert makes a move, one knows if they are good.

The strength of a ninja could often be revealed from the most basic qualities.

For example, the temperature of Fire Release, the quantity and impact of Water Release, the sharpness of Wind Release, etc.

And the ice wall Ryosuke condensed casually had such hardness; this was enough to show that Ryosuke's strength was unfathomable.

If Hoshigaki Kisame just now was only at the "not bad" level in Hanzo's eyes, then at this moment, Sanshouuo Hanzo had already regarded Mizunuki Ryosuke before him as an opponent of the same level.

At this point, Sanshouuo Hanzo suddenly put away the sickle in his hand.

He wasn't brewing any ultimate move, but he knew there was no need to continue fighting.

Even though he knew very little about Kirigakure's intelligence, Sanshouuo Hanzo still understood some basic intelligence.

He clearly knew that two years ago, the Kirigakure Village had just completed a change of power, and the newly succeeded Fourth Mizukage was a person of the Mizunuki clan who was good at Ice Release.

Being able to command the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, plus the unique Ice Release of the Mizunuki clan.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's identity was already about to be revealed.

Sanshouuo Hanzo's gaze flickered, as if he couldn't quite believe his guess.

"I wonder what brings the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure to the Rain?"

Even if it were impossible, everything that had just happened undoubtedly explained everything.

That was that the young man before him was the Fourth Mizukage who had just succeeded two years ago.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke on the other side still didn't have any movements, just looking at Sanshouuo Hanzo with a smile but saying nothing.
