"Stop talking big, Akira Hatake!"

Hanzo the Salamander raised his scythe and pointed it at Akira Hatake, saying, "When I became famous, you were still nowhere to be found!"

"Heh, I hate guys like you who act like they're old and entitled!"

Akira Hatake returned the look with a knowing glance, "That guy who used to act all high and mighty in front of me, now his grave is overgrown with weeds!"

With a casual wave of his hand, a water-like spatial ripple appeared before Akira Hatake's eyes.

Upon stepping inside, Akira Hatake vanished.

However, before leaving, Akira Hatake left a message: "Hanzo the Salamander, I don't want to hurt the innocent. If you have any guts, come with me."

"Damn it!"

Although Akira Hatake left this place, the water-ripple-like spatial fluctuation remained in place, its effect being all too obvious.

Cursing under his breath, Hanzo the Salamander had no choice but to shoulder his sickle and step inside.

His fighting style is indiscriminate, regardless of friend or foe. As Akira Hatake just said, if the battle were to take place within the Amegakure area, the entire village would likely perish from Hanzo's poison gas.

Although many ninjas from Amegakure wear special gas masks, they are completely ineffective if the toxins from the salamander are even slightly concentrated.

When Hanzo the Salamander stepped into the spatial fluctuation, the water-ripple-like spatial fluctuation immediately disappeared, teleporting Hanzo the Salamander to the location of Akira Hatake.

……

"Konan, Akira Hatake is here."

In the same cave, Nagato Uzumaki, who was sitting cross-legged on a stone chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his purple Rinnegan.

"Hatake Akira? What's he doing here again!"

Konan's words were full of hatred for Akira Hatake. In her preconceived notion, Yahiko's death was inextricably linked to Akira Hatake and Konoha.

"What are you doing here?!" Nagato scoffed. "Naturally, it's a case of 'the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked,' Akira Hatake is here to kill Hanzo the Salamander!"

"In that case... Hanzo the Salamander is not going to survive."

Konan didn't think highly of Hanzo the Salamander at all. "But it's good this way. One of the executioners who killed Yahiko is dead now. It's quite gratifying."

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, Nagato suddenly stood up and snorted coldly, "We'll avenge Yahiko ourselves, it's none of that Hatake Akira's business!"

"Nagato, what are you planning to do...?"

"There's no time like the present. It's rare for Hanzo the Salamander and Akira Hatake to be together. Isn't this a good opportunity for us to take care of them both at once?"

"But Akira Hatake's strength..."

Konan looked at Nagato with some concern, "The power of the Rinnegan is strong, but you only recently awakened its true power, so you're not yet proficient in using it."

"Furthermore, given your current physical condition... if you use the power of the Rinnegan too much, I'm worried... you won't be able to hold on."

"I know my own body best."

Nagato was still grateful for Konan's concern, but his personality and temperament had changed drastically, and he was no longer the shy boy he once was.

His answer was curt, with a coldness that kept people at arm's length.

"I want to see just how Akira Hatake, who is so famous in the ninja world, will behave under these eyes!"

After saying that, Nagato Uzumaki straightened his black uniform with auspicious clouds and slowly flew out of the cave.

Unable to resist Nagato's insistence, Konan had no choice but to conjure a pair of paper wings on her back, which fluttered as she followed closely behind Nagato.

……

The scene shifts to Hanzo the Salamander and Akira Hatake facing off.

Hanzo the Salamander was apprehensive about Akira Hatake's mysterious and unpredictable spatial abilities, feeling that his chances of defeating him were not high.

It's no wonder that Hanzo the Salamander was so insecure, mainly because Akira Hatake's past record was simply too amazing.

Hanzo the Salamander's title of "Demigod of the Ninja World" is powerful, but only Hanzo himself knows the true story behind it.

Akira Hatake is different. Although some of his titles are rather unpretentious, those who truly understand the inner workings know that along his path, the bones beneath his feet have piled up into mountains.

"Akira Hatake, I think we should have a serious talk."

After weighing the pros and cons, Hanzo of the Salamander chose to back down, since there was no one else present besides Akira Hatake, which made it easier for him to swallow his pride.

Seeing that Hanzo had given in, Akira Hatake found it amusing.

The older people get, the less they feel like they want to die, and Hanzo the Salamander is clearly one of them.

“I thought you would say something else.” Akira Hatake tilted his head. “To be honest, it really shocks me that a former demigod of the ninja world could speak like this in this tone.”

"Hanzo the Salamander, where has your courage gone? Where has the arrogance you once had that allowed you to bestow names upon others gone?"

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Does everyone become like you when they get old?"

"Hatake Akira, say whatever you want, but you have to consider the relationship between our two countries." Hanzo of the Salamander was losing face, but he still suppressed his anger and tried to persuade Hatake Akira to give up his plan to capture him.

"The Land of Fire is very powerful now, but please don't forget that the Land of Rain's geographical location is the first line of defense for the Land of Fire's national security."

"I know that without you telling me."

After saying this, Akira Hatake slowly shook his head. "However, this has absolutely nothing to do with my operation to capture you. Do you really think that you alone can represent the entire Land of Rain?"

Akira Hatake's words were very impolite, and his words were full of contempt for Hanzo the Salamander.

"Hands yourself up obediently and come back to Konoha with me with dignity."

"This is how you preserve your title of 'Demigod of the Ninja World,' otherwise... after your defeat and capture, your last fig leaf will be gone!"

"Akira Hatake, do you really think you've got me cornered?"

Hanzo the Salamander was driven to the brink of madness by Akira Hatake's continuous attacks, his hand gripping the scythe weapon with bulging veins, and his words now carried a hint of coldness.

Although Hanzo the Salamander's temperament is declining, he hasn't completely lost the courage he had in his youth.

Seeing Akira Hatake's aggressive attitude, Hanzo the Salamander finally mustered the courage to fight him to the death.

"if not?"

Akira Hatake shrugged as he spread his hands. "Why don't you try a few more times?"

"You're asking for death, Akira Hatake!"

Hanzo the Salamander roared, took two quick steps, raised his scythe, and swung it down fiercely as he rushed close to Akira Hatake.

brush!

Without the slightest pause, Hanzo's scythe blade pierced through a water-like spatial ripple, yet it couldn't cause the slightest harm to Akira Hatake, who was right in front of him.

Moreover, Hanzo the Salamander clearly felt that after his scythe passed through the water-like spatial fluctuations, it was teleported to a location far away from him.

Sensing something was wrong, Hanzo the Salamander decisively turned and retreated, his scythe also following his retreat, rapidly withdrawing from the water-like spatial fluctuations.

But it's still too late!

Snapped.

Akira Hatake snapped his fingers, and the water-like spatial fluctuations in front of him were suddenly shut down. The restored spatial barrier transformed into the sharpest blade, instantly severing Hanzo's scythe weapon.

The broken blade of the scythe fell into an unknown forest within the Land of Fire...

brush!

Akira Hatake's figure vanished abruptly, and when he reappeared, he had already passed through the water-like spatial fluctuations and arrived behind Hanzo the Salamander.

A deep blue Rasengan appeared in Akira Hatake's right hand and was slammed down behind Hanzo the Salamander without any pause.

boom!

Wow...

The Rasengan exploded behind Hanzo the Salamander, but what followed was not Hanzo's bloody, mangled back, but a water clone that splashed everywhere.

"The response has been good."

Akira Hatake's eyes showed no emotion; his praise sounded more like a comment, a form of contempt for Hanzo the Salamander.

There was a time when Hanzo the Salamander would comment on his enemies in the same way before delivering a fatal blow.

Now the tables have turned, and it's Hanzo the salamander who's being criticized!

Swish swish!

As soon as Hanzo the Salamander appeared in another location, several water-like spatial fluctuations suddenly rose around him, and under Akira Hatake's control, they were rapidly closing in on Hanzo the Salamander.

Sensing danger, Hanzo the Salamander no longer hesitated. He bit his finger and slammed it into the ground, and a tall summoning beast suddenly appeared at Hanzo's feet.

It is the summoning beast of Hanzo, the salamander, named Namifushi.

Boom!

Before the surrounding water-ripple-like spatial barriers closed in, Namibashi and Hanzo suddenly burrowed underground, then emerged from another direction on the ground.

"Now that the salamanders have emerged, shouldn't we release their poison gas next?"

Akira Hatake was very familiar with Hanzo's various abilities and accurately predicted Hanzo's next move.

"In that case, I'll play with you and test out the new moves I just developed."

As Akira Hatake watched the purple mist spreading in, he calmly waved his hand again, and a spatial barrier resembling a prism appeared in front of him.

New Flying Thunder God Technique: Space Prism!

Chapter 275 The Rinnegan that met Akira Hatake's gaze.

Once Akira Hatake's spatial abilities are enhanced, he can use the Flying Thunder God Mark hidden within the spatial barrier to fold and refract space at will.

The new Flying Thunder God Technique: Space Prism, a space ninjutsu, is a technique that combines the advantages of the two mentioned above.

Once this technique is activated, the space in front of Akira Hatake will be repeatedly folded multiple times, and by utilizing the properties of spatial refraction, his attack will be divided and replicated into multiple attacks of equal quantity.

This is actually similar to the principle of parallel universes. In each parallel universe, there is someone who is almost identical to you. What Akira Hatake did was to bring together "himself" from parallel universes and release ninjutsu towards Hanzo of the Salamander together.

In this way, all the attack ninjutsu released by Akira Hatake are real, and the chakra consumed is only the amount of chakra required for a single ninjutsu.

It's shameless, but that's the charm of space-time ninjutsu.
