Chapter 898

Behind the Summoning Jutsu: Luo Shengmen summoned by Orochimaru, the Iaijutsu: Zantetsu, which had originally flashed by like a meteor, suddenly erupted with another brilliant, dazzling light.

Zantetsu: Second Stage!

In an instant, the gate exuding the deathly aura of the underworld was actually broken through directly by this blade light!!!

"Clang!!"

The ominous and gloomy gate collapsed under a single strike. Fortunately, Jiraiya had realized the danger in advance and used the Earth Wall to defend.

Sure enough, Jiraiya's Earth Wall could not hold out for long under this blade light, and it was sliced in two from the middle.

However, behind the Earth Wall, the figures of Tsunade and Jiraiya were already gone.

The two were not stupid; naturally, they had taken advantage of the cover provided by the Earth Wall and Luo Shengmen to evacuate a step ahead.

"BOOM!!!"

Under the curtain of rain, as the Earth Wall and Luo Shengmen collapsed with a roar, Hanzo of the Salamander slowly retracted the kusarigama in his hand, his eyes still filled with calm.

He seemed indifferent to the fact that his Iaijutsu: Zantetsu had ultimately missed its mark and failed to achieve its goal.

"Whoosh!"

On the other side, Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had escaped elsewhere using the Body Flicker Jutsu, watched Hanzo of the Salamander vigilantly, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Although both sides had only engaged in a round of probing attacks, through the narrow escapes of Jiraiya and Tsunade, the strength of Hanzo of the Salamander as the "Demigod of the Ninja World" was undeniably displayed.

This caused the three of them to become even more tense when facing Hanzo of the Salamander.

At this moment, after one round of exchanges, Hanzo of the Salamander remained in the center of the battlefield, while the Sannin had formed a triangular formation, surrounding him.

"RUMBLE!!!!"

With another clap of thunder, the rain grew more urgent, and the bean-sized raindrops pattered against them, bringing an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

The Sannin looked at each other and nodded solemnly; years of tacit understanding allowed the three to understand each other's thoughts with just a single glance.

Ninja Art: Many Serpent Array!

This time, Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, took the initiative to launch the attack.

In an instant, Orochimaru appeared boneless, his body sticking limply to the ground, just like a winding python.

Next, a scene that made one's scalp tingle occurred: Orochimaru, pressed against the surface, suddenly opened his mouth wide and spat out a massive quantity of green venomous snakes.

The dense swarm of snakes surged out from Orochimaru's mouth, almost instantly covering the ground within a radius of more than ten meters, and then these snakes rushed toward Hanzo of the Salamander like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, even the battle-hardened Hanzo of the Salamander could not help but frown; there was no other reason, but this scene was indeed a bit too disgusting.

Let alone Hanzo of the Salamander, even Tsunade, who was Orochimaru's teammate, could not help but frown at the sight.

"Hmph!"

Hanzo let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with a hint of disgust.

Because salamanders and snakes seemed to be natural enemies.

Hanzo of the Salamander reached out and gripped the base of his kusarigama, then violently swung it out. Due to the chain at the base of the weapon, the close-combat range of Hanzo's Iaijutsu instantly doubled.

It was just like mowing grass; wherever the kusarigama swung, thick green blood splattered out, and the severed bodies of countless snakes were scattered everywhere, looking extremely disgusting.

Not only that, while swinging the sickle, Hanzo's other hand was not idle either...

He kept throwing ninja tools at Orochimaru, who was performing the Many Serpent Jutsu, intending to stop him.

In response, the Sannin naturally would not let Hanzo succeed. Tsunade quickly arrived at Orochimaru's side to provide cover, drawing the kunai from her waist to knock away the ninja tools Hanzo threw one by one.

At the same time, Jiraiya was not idle; he had circled to the opposite direction of Orochimaru and also began to weave hand seals to perform a ninjutsu.

Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!

This was a ninjutsu created by the Third Hokage, inspired by the Shadow Clone Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage. He threw a giant shuriken forward, which then cloned into thousands, attacking the opponent with overwhelming numbers.

Jiraiya took out a giant shuriken and, after weaving hand seals, threw it fiercely toward Hanzo of the Salamander.

In an instant, this giant shuriken split and copied itself into dozens in mid-air, attacking Hanzo of the Salamander's back from all directions.

Clearly, Jiraiya's mastery of this move was still far from that of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi; he could only manage to shadow-clone dozens of shuriken at once.

But even so, facing the pincer attack of the snake swarm and dozens of shuriken, Hanzo of the Salamander seemed to be driven into a desperate situation for a moment.

Regarding the current "desperate situation," Hanzo of the Salamander remained indifferent, the expression on his face still incomparably calm.

Seeing that the combined attack of ninja tools and the kusarigama could not break Orochimaru's Many Serpent Array, he simply retracted his kusarigama.

Facing the pincer attack of the snake swarm and the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, Hanzo even had time to disgustedly shake off the thick green snake blood covering his kusarigama.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu.

These are the three elements of a ninja, and until now, Hanzo of the Salamander had only been using Taijutsu against his enemies.

If one thought that Hanzo of the Salamander's methods were limited to this, they would be gravely mistaken. A ninja who could be crowned with the title of "God," even if only a "Demigod," was not a ninja who could be judged by common sense.

Hanzo retracted his kusarigama behind him, and under the surging snake swarm and the imposing cluster of shuriken, he began to weave hand seals rapidly and continuously. The speed of these seals was so fast that it became a blur!
