Chapter 917

In the sky, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already flashed to a position less than a hundred meters away from where the two sides were fighting. The forbidden technique that could freeze time, Mahapralaya, was already held in his hand. As long as Salamander Hanzo made a move that threatened Tsunade, Mizunuki Ryosuke would directly act to imprison the time and space in front of him.

But looking at Tsunade, who had already lost the ability to resist, Salamander Hanzo had no intention of pursuing at all; instead, he restrained the sickle in his hand and slowly lifted it onto his shoulder.

"Bang!!!"

After Tsunade's delicate body flew backward, it fell heavily to the ground.

She stubbornly climbed up from the ground again, a wisp of crimson blood overflowing from the corner of Tsunade's mouth. She raised her arm with difficulty to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, her flawless face carrying a hint of poignant beauty.

At this moment, just standing was extremely difficult for her. Even with the slug's tireless healing, under the erosion of a large amount of salamander deadly poison, even Tsunade had reached the point of exhaustion.

On the other side, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who had also been knocked away, struggled to climb up from the ground and once again moved with difficulty to Tsunade's side.

This process was extremely slow, lasting at least nearly half a minute. During this period, Salamander Hanzo had always just stood there, quietly watching the three young ninjas on the opposite side.

The three stood side by side again, but anyone could see that the three had already reached the end of their rope. I'm afraid that as long as Salamander Hanzo blew another breath, he could directly knock down these three people.

This was not a joke; after all, the breath exhaled by Salamander Hanzo was completely the salamander's deadly poison.

The Sannin stood with difficulty. Although the feeling of physical discomfort was becoming heavier, the three still struggled to persist.

They looked at Salamander Hanzo on the opposite side with some confusion. The confusing part was that Salamander Hanzo could have easily finished off the three of them just now, so why did he wait in place?

Things had come to this, and the three had long since lost the ability to continue fighting. Looking at Salamander Hanzo on the opposite side, not only was his breath still very long, but he also looked like nothing had happened.

The Sannin did not doubt whether Salamander Hanzo at the moment still had enough combat power, but what was strange was that it seemed Salamander Hanzo's fighting spirit had been completely extinguished.

Not only that, the sharp killing intent originally on Salamander Hanzo had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a hint of awe-inspiring righteousness.

The three looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

They had already fought to this point; what exactly was Salamander Hanzo waiting for?

Not letting the three wait too long, Salamander Hanzo directly revealed the answer.

"Although you and I are opponents, the perseverance of the three of you still makes me admire you."

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru,"

"I will inevitably remember your names. In the vast Konoha, among the ninjas I have met, only the three of you can be called true ninjas."

"Since that is the case, I will call you the 'Sannin of Konoha'."

Salamander Hanzo still maintained the airs of an old senior in the Ninja World and a "demigod of the Ninja World." In the current scene, his words indeed sounded like they had the bearing of an overlord of the Ninja World.

Upon hearing this, the three bodies trembled at the same time, looking at each other with unbelievable eyes.

"Sannin"!

The three of them all understood how much gold content this title had at this moment!

Hanzo's words undoubtedly indicated that among the thousands of Konoha ninjas he had met, only the "Sannin" in front of him could be looked up to by him.

And how many ninjas did Konoha have? How many ninjas had Salamander Hanzo seen?

Not to mention anything else, at least the ten thousand or so Konoha ninjas on the battlefield, Salamander Hanzo had at least seen.

And Salamander Hanzo's recognition was enough to show that the "Sannin" had already stood above the vast majority of Konoha ninjas.

It was foreseeable that after this battle, no matter what, the Sannin would inevitably become famous.

If it were before the Second Ninja World War, Salamander Hanzo saying this would at most only indicate that the Sannin were opponents he recognized, and it would cause a certain commotion in the Land of Rain and the surrounding areas, without causing much impact.

But at this moment, as the instigator and initiator of the Second Ninja World War, Salamander Hanzo's momentum was no longer what it used to be.

In the past, although he had the title of "demigod of the Ninja World" on his head, many ninjas just listened to it as a joke and did not really take this name of "demigod" seriously.

But now, Salamander Hanzo first started the outbreak of the Second Ninja World War with almost his own strength, and then fought successively with the three major ninja villages of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha.

Regardless of the final outcome, just this ambition and spirit made people unable to look down on him, because ordinary people, even one of the five great ninja villages, did not have examples of launching wars against three great powers in succession.

At this moment, although the Rain Village's defeat was doomed, in this vast Ninja World War, Hanzo himself had never been defeated.

Such a record and feat could no longer be described by two thin sentences.

It could be said that if Mizunuki Ryosuke had not appeared, at the time of the Second Ninja World War, no one would have had more limelight than Salamander Hanzo.

And now, Salamander Hanzo, who had no equal in limelight and had set off such a violent storm in the Ninja World, personally acknowledged that the Sannin of Konoha were opponents he recognized.

You know, whether it was the siblings Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure, or Huang Tu, the son of the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, none of these people had been able to enter Hanzo's eyes and be given such a high evaluation.

What did this mean?

It meant that in Hanzo's eyes, the "Sannin" were far above the former two.

Invisibly, the Sannin could already be considered to be standing before many powerhouses in the Ninja World.
