Naruto: The Uchiha remnants of the Senju clan!

Chapter 206 The Special Characteristics of Salamander (Part 1 & 2)

Hanzo the Salamander stood in the rain, letting the raindrops slide down his long hair.

"But at best, you're just a second Tsunade."

Hanzo the Salamander slowly raised the chain sickle in his hand.

"Sage Mode can indeed boost your power to this extent, but that state cannot be maintained indefinitely. I've seen Jiraiya, and I've also seen the records left by your First Hokage. Naturally, once the energy is exhausted, you will revert to your original form."

He shook his head gently.

"Then I will show you what a true 'demigod' is."

"I can do more than just 'superhuman strength'."

Qingyu spoke calmly.

The moment he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

The raindrops remained where he had been standing, while he himself had transformed into a sky full of sword shadows.

Konoha Style: Willow!

Qingyu's figure was like a willow catkin blown by the wind, bursting forth with countless sword lights in the gloomy rain.

"S-rank swordsmanship, huh?

Hanzo's pupils contracted.

As a recognized master of swordsmanship in the ninja world, his eyesight was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

The moment Qingyu made that move, he could tell how powerful it was.

Illusion is hidden within the sword shadows, and sword intent is wrapped within the illusion.

The real and the illusory are intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

This is no ordinary swordsmanship.

"That's all there is to it."

Hanzo the Salamander snorted coldly, but dared not be careless in the slightest.

He closed his eyes, no longer relying on sight, but on the instincts he had developed over years of fighting to perceive everything around him.

He quickly detected an extremely subtle killing intent.

Behind him.

Hanzo the Salamander suddenly turned around and swung his katana.

puff!

However, he only hit an afterimage.

"Ibushi!"

Hanzo the Salamander shouted.

The ground beneath my feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

Upon hearing its master's call, the enormous salamander spirit immediately charged towards them.

The rocks and trees along the way were crushed to pieces in its charge.

Uchiha-style swordsmanship: Flame Flash!

Flames danced wildly on Qingyu's Thunder God Sword, forming a flaming longsword.

puff!

The flaming sword slashed down from mid-air, cleaving fiercely into the salamander's left forelimb.

The blade sank into the flesh, deep enough to see the bone.

The salamander roared in anger.

Unable to hold back, it spewed out a large amount of purple poisonous mist and blood mixed with venom, enveloping Qingyu entirely.

[Collectible trait detected: Salamander Poison]

[Grade C Trait: Salamander Poison]

[Effect: The toxin you concoct will contain some of the toxins from the salamander.]

[Crafting: Killing a Salamander will upgrade the trait to a higher level.]

"A new trait?"

Upon seeing this, Qingyu knew that it had been collected from a salamander.

I wonder if we can still collect anything related to anti-toxicity.

Qingyu pondered to himself.

For Qingyu, both the salamander and Hanzo are treasure chests.

Qingyu was very curious about what kind of traits would emerge.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this scene from afar, Hyuga Ginka's heart tightened.

If Qingyu gets soaked in this, even with the antidote, she won't fare well.

The concentration of these toxins is too high!

"Too slow."

In Qingyu's eyes, all of these were like slow-motion shots.

Despite having the antidote prepared by Tsunade and his own resistance to poison, he wouldn't be foolish enough to try and withstand the concentrated toxins of the salamander.

That stuff is completely different from ordinary poisonous fog. If you inhale it at close range, even a Kage-level expert's lungs will be burned through.

Internal organs have always been a weakness for most ninjas.

Wherever the purple poisonous fog passed, vegetation withered and turned black rapidly.

"Trying to run away?"

Just as Qingyu retreated, a jet-black chain flew silently from behind him.

Hanzo the Salamander has made his move.

The chain wrapped around Qingyu's wrist.

boom!

"We succeeded!"

With a flick of his wrist, Hanzo of the Salamander tensed all his muscles, concentrated his chakra in his hand, and pulled Kiyoha towards him.

At the same time, he raised his other hand and slashed at Qingyu's neck with his sickle.

"Trying to stall me?"

Qingyu's three-tomoe Sharingan spun in the rain.

Instead of resisting the pull of the chains, he used the force to charge towards Hanzo the Salamander.

The flames on Thor's sword surged again, reaching almost three meters in length.

"Then—elementalization—"

Qingyu's wrist transformed into azure arcs of electricity, piercing straight through Hanzo's chains.

"What?!"

Hanzo the Salamander had never seen such a "substitute method" before, and for a moment, he was almost caught off guard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingyu brandished her longsword.

The scorching heat wave brought Hanzo the Salamander back to his senses, and relying on his combat experience, he instinctively dodged away.

The flames grazed his mask, tearing a hole in the breathing mask he was wearing.

"Ha, it's nothing more than—"

Before he could finish saying "so," a bloody gash suddenly appeared on Hanzo's chest.

Hanzo the Salamander's pupils suddenly dilated.

"When—!"

He looked down in disbelief at the wound on his chest that was bleeding.

He had clearly dodged that sword strike.

"No, this brat used a special technique—"

The intense pain did not cloud Hanzo's judgment.

He quickly figured out the key to it.

"So-called natural energy—"

Hanzo the Salamander raised his head, the contempt in his eyes fading, replaced by utmost seriousness.

"You have good observation skills."

Qingyu gave a compliment.

They secretly thought that the other party was indeed quite capable.

What Qingyu just used is actually based on the principle of the Frog Kumite. In the original work, Naruto wrapped natural energy in his fist to deliver this attack.

Qingyu was simply changed to be wrapped around the sword.

"Lord Hanzo!"

"Lord Hanzo is injured!"

The Rain Village ninjas in the distance, upon witnessing this scene, all changed their expressions drastically.

In their minds, Hanzo the Salamander is an invincible symbol and the undisputed god of the entire Land of Rain.

However, at this moment, this god was being forced to suffer repeated injuries by a boy from Konoha.

"Protect Lord Hanzo!"

Someone let out a scream.

Hundreds of Rain Village ninjas simultaneously changed direction and rushed frantically towards Qingyu's location.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A large number of water-style ninjutsu were released from their hands.

The rain falling from the sky mixed with the water created by ninjutsu, forming wave after wave of giant waves that swept towards Qingyu and the Akatsuki organization.

Behind the waves, a large number of senbon (thousand-book coins) are hidden.

Those thousand-sticks were coated with a special toxin made by salamander.

"what!"

Screams rose and fell in waves.

Despite being prepared, the Akatsuki members were still hit by many of the senbon needles that shot out from the waves.

The situation on the battlefield became even more chaotic at this moment.

"Everyone be careful!"

Xiao Nan's voice rang out in mid-air.

The paper wings behind her suddenly unfolded, like a giant paper umbrella, shielding the seven or eight Akatsuki members around her.

The thousand quills shot at them struck the paper wings.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Formation!"

Yahiko also made a move.

A thick wall of water rose up from beneath his feet, surrounding another group of his companions.

After the thousand sticks were shot into the wall of water, their speed decreased sharply, and they eventually fell helplessly to the ground.

Nagato stood behind the wall of water, her long red hair soaked by the rain, clinging to her pale cheeks.

He slowly raised his hands.

Shinra Tensei!

An invisible circular shockwave emanated from his body.

Those senbon that had pierced through the water wall were all blasted away by the repulsive force before they even made contact with his body.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

"Who exactly is that red-haired guy?"

The Rain Village ninjas looked at Nagato with suspicion and uncertainty, but their attacks did not stop.

The rain, which had stopped for a moment, started falling again.

getting bigger.

Rain poured down from the gray-black sky, washing the blood on the ground into red streams.

The corpses were submerged in blood, and severed limbs and broken ninja tools were scattered in the mud.

The air was filled with the smells of rust, earth, and the nauseating pungent odor of salamander toxin.

Qingyu glanced at the battlefield out of the corner of her eye.

The Akatsuki organization ultimately had too few members.

Although Yahiko's companions were fearless, their casualties were inevitably increasing as they faced a number of Amegakure ninjas.

Fortunately, there was the slug that Qingyu had summoned earlier.

The tiny slugs scattered around the Akatsuki members, constantly supplying them with medical chakra and pulling the injured ninjas back from the brink of death.

"Lord Slug, how is it?"

Qingyu asked the slug next to her shoulder.

"The situation is not optimistic, Lord Qingyu."

The slug's voice rang out, still soft and gentle, but with a hint of anxiety.

"Moreover, there are too many types of toxins. The toxins that Lady Tsunade and you prepared cannot all be detoxified, and I cannot eliminate them all in a short time. I can only slow down their onset. If this continues, I'm afraid many people will not be able to withstand it."

"Hang in there a little longer."

Qingyu took a deep breath.

"The battle will be over soon."

He looked up at Hanzo the Salamander, who had readjusted his stance.

But further back on the battlefield.

Although Tsunade had her eyes closed, she clearly grasped the situation of the entire battlefield through her senses.

She could "see" the clash between Kiyoyu and Hanzo of the Salamander, and she could "see" the Akatsuki members fall one by one.

under.

"untie!"

Tsunade gave a low shout.

The purple diamond-shaped mark on his forehead suddenly lit up.

Yin Seal - Released!

A large amount of chakra surged out of the seal and poured into her entire body.

"Lord Slug, please help hold off Hanzo's summoned beast."

"No problem, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade summoned an even larger slug.

The moment that enormous body appeared, it exuded a sense of oppression.

The slug moved directly toward the salamander.

The salamander named "Iifu" had just been slashed on its left forelimb by Kiyoyu, and blood mixed with venom was still dripping from the wound, making it much less mobile than before.

The slug seized the opportunity and crashed into it without hesitation.

Rumble!

The collision of the two giant spirit beasts caused the entire earth to tremble violently.

"Hanzo the Salamander's summoned beast is really powerful."

Hyuga Ginka stood on high ground, observing the battle between the two summoning beasts with her Byakugan.

"However, Lady Tsunade's slug is not at a disadvantage either."

The salamander opened its huge mouth and spewed a thick cloud of poisonous mist at the slug.

The purple poisonous gas completely enveloped the slug, corroding her body.

"My tongue and teeth feel sticky and sore!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the slug spat out a glob of highly corrosive liquid from its mouth.

The liquid pierced through the poisonous mist and precisely struck the salamander's mouth.

The salamander let out a mournful howl, its action of spewing poisonous mist was interrupted, and a large amount of purple blood gushed from its mouth.

The slug quickly makes a judgment and actively splits off the body parts that have been contaminated by the toxin.

One by one, the tiny slugs detached from their bodies and fell into the mud, but the toxins didn't have time to penetrate their bodies.

The enraged salamander let out an even more frenzied roar.

It lowered its head, and with all its might, rammed into the slug again.

The slug swarmed towards us.

boom!

The earth cracked beneath their feet, and the shockwave uprooted the surrounding trees. Dozens of Rain Ninjas who were too close were thrown back and crashed heavily into the mud.

Meanwhile, Kakashi was also traversing the battlefield.

His Sharingan in his left eye was fully open.

The eye that Obito left him was now turning, clearly reflecting everything around him in its pupil.

"Purple Lightning!"

Purple lightning crackled around the white fang dagger.

Kakashi's figure flashed through the group of Amegakure ninja, his sword flashing, and another enemy fell.

"Is this the world Obito saw? —"

During a lull in the battle, Kakashi had this thought flash through his mind.

"Obito, I will use your eyes to see clearly."

Kakashi whispered, then charged out again.

"I have to go help Qingyu."

Yahiko forced back two Amegakure ninjas with a single strike, then turned to look in the direction where Kiyoha was.

He looked at the vast number of Rain Village ninjas, at Hanzo of the Salamander who was still fighting Kiyoha in the distance, and then at his exhausted comrades behind him.

Yahiko gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He can't wait here.

"I'll go."

Nagato opened his mouth.

"Nagato!"

Yahiko's expression changed.

"Your body can't withstand that kind of strain, you—"

"I can still hold on."

Nagato interrupted him.

He raised his hand and pushed away Yahiko's outstretched arm.

"Only I can help Qingyu now."

Nagato said.

Yahiko looked at him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything more in protest.

He knew Nagato's personality.

Once a decision is made, there's no going back.

And that's exactly what Nagato thought too.

After witnessing Hanzo the Salamander's attitude, the image of "god" in his mind completely collapsed.

Hanzo the Salamander was once the undisputed pinnacle of the Land of Rain, a figure revered by all the ninjas of the Land of Rain.

Nagato had once respected him.

But now, he no longer has any romantic feelings for Hanzo the Salamander.

The moment he decided to kill Konan and Yahiko, Nagato had already sentenced Hanzo of the Salamander to death in his heart.

In his view, Hanzo the Salamander was practically asking for his own death.

"Ibushi is being held back—"

Hanzo the Salamander swung his sword to deflect Kiyoha's attack, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the other side of the battlefield.

His summoned beast is engaged in a fierce battle with a giant slug summoned by Tsunade.

The slug was several times larger than it usually was.

His Jingfu, due to the injury to his left forelimb, was no longer as agile as before and could only passively take hits.

Damn it.

Sanshoyu Hanzo grew increasingly agitated.

Ibuki, that's his biggest trump card.

It was thanks to the power of Ibuse that he was able to withstand the combined forces of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru in the Second Shinobi World War without being defeated.

If he loses Jingfu, his strength will be equivalent to cutting off his own arm.

"We can't delay any longer."

A ruthless glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes.

He took a deep breath and extracted the chakra within his body.

However, just as he was about to unleash his full power, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Nagato's voice sounded behind him.

Hanzo the Salamander instinctively tried to dodge.

But that repulsive force came too quickly.

Before his body could react, his katana was struck from the side.

Clang!

The katana flew out of his hand, twirled several times in the air, and finally plunged deep into the mud in the distance.

"Another annoying brat has arrived."

Hanzo, the salamander, frowned.
