Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Ten kilometers east of Tianxie Valley, Watanabe Toru was sitting cross-legged in his tent.

His chakra poured out, merging with the rain.

Rain Tiger's Freedom Technique.

Under the influence of this ninjutsu, Watanabe Toru was able to clearly perceive the distribution of chakra within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"They're here."

Watanabe Toru opened his eyes, looked at Nishimura beside him, and nodded.

"Lord Watanabe, the medical team is ready, and the medical ninjutsu scrolls, explosive tags, and kunai have all been distributed."

Watanabe Tetsu then looked at Rin beside him, and Rin immediately understood.

He stepped out of the tent and began to assemble all the ninjas of the Akatsuki's combat division who were fighting on the front lines.

Watanabe Tetsu slowly stepped out of the tent, looking towards the towering valley that reached into the clouds not far away.

He knew that this was Xiaoguang Society's most important battle.

If this battle is won, the Land of Rain will completely change hands, and from now on, Hanzo's Amegakure will disappear from the Land of Rain.

But if he loses, all his hard work will be for nothing.

The rain was still falling, and Watanabe Toru's heart was pounding.

This is a mix of tension and excitement.

...

"Kamita, once we cross Amaha Valley, we'll reach Amatsu Town."

Shinta looked at Hanzo, who was walking at the front, and responded respectfully.

"Yes, Lord Hanzo, but there might be an ambush by the Akatsuki in this area."

"An ambush? A mere hundred men, what's there to be afraid of?"

Hanzo glanced at the army behind him, which numbered nearly a thousand.

They probably wouldn't even need to mobilize all the ninjas from Amegakure to easily take down the Akatsuki.

When Hanzo led his army through Tianxie Valley, a vast plain came into view.

However, at the edge of that plain, there was a dark mass of figures.

Hanzo's fingertips trembled slightly.

But he didn't say anything, he just kept walking forward until he could see the leader of the group of people.

A long black trench coat was printed with the Xiaoguanghui logo, and a confident smile radiated from beneath her flowing black hair.

Hanzo raised the scythe and slung it over his back.

"You are Watanabe Toru?"

Watanabe Tetsu did not respond to Hanzo; instead, he looked at the Amegakure army behind Hanzo.

The Rain Village ninjas generally had ashen faces, their eyes losing their luster.

Looking at the ninjas of the Akatsuki, they were all radiant and full of energy.

"It seems that Amegakure hasn't been doing too well lately."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Hanzo realized he was being ignored, snorted coldly, then drew his scythe and rushed towards Watanabe Tetsu.

As Hanzo moved, the Amegakure ninjas also sprang into action.

One by one, they drew their weapons and charged towards the Xiaoguang Society's camp.

Watanabe Tetsu remained calm and unhurried until the Amegakure ninjas were within close range before he took any action.

He slowly raised his hand.

This was like a signal, prompting the Akatsuki ninjas behind them to take action.

They took out explosive tags and stuck them on their kunai.

They were then fired in unison.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

One after another, kunai with explosive tags attached drew sharp arcs in the air, flying precisely towards the Rain Village ninjas.

The flash of the detonating tag was followed by a series of loud "boom" explosions.

The explosive tags detonated within the ranks of the Rain Village ninja, the violent explosions mingling with the screams of the Rain Village ninja, echoing across the plain.

"Ah! My leg!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

The tens of thousands of explosive tags that Xiaoguang had prepared beforehand finally came in handy at this moment.

If there are tens of thousands of explosive tags in total, and they are to be distributed among 600 people, how many tags can each person receive?

The answer is thirty.

The ninjas of the Akatsuki were throwing out explosive tags and kunai they had prepared in advance as if they were free.

Each explosive tag landed within the Rain Shadow Army's range, eliciting a series of mournful cries.

This is a war of overwhelming logistical superiority.

It was a war with absolutely no suspense.

Among the ninjas of Amegakure, there are quite a few Jonin with strong abilities.

They can still avoid some damage through their agile movements and ninjutsu.

However, most ninjas were just low-level thugs at the Chunin level.

They lack the ability to dodge attacks from hundreds or thousands of explosive tags simultaneously.

At this moment, the explosive tag became the Grim Reaper.

They ruthlessly claimed the lives of countless Rain Ninja.

As the Rain Village ninja watched his comrades fall one by one, his fear intensified.

Their already low morale plummeted even further.

When Hanzo looked back during the charge, he saw a terrifying scene.

Of the thousand Amegakure ninjas who were originally brought with them, only about a hundred are still standing there.

The corpses lay scattered haphazardly across the plain.

The blood was mixed with severed limbs, and even more so with charred remains of the body.

A scene resembling hell on earth appeared before Hanzo's eyes.

Even for someone as battle-hardened as him, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a bloody scene.

He knew that the men he had brought with him would never be able to stand up again.

Hanzo's hands trembled slightly.

"I will make you pay the price."

Before he could react, a white light flashed, and Hanzo instinctively used his scythe to block the attack from the left.

Upon closer inspection, it was a ninja wearing a straw hat.

Hanzo tilted his scythe slightly, and Kuroda's attack missed.

Before Hanzo could retaliate against Kuroda, another kunai came flying at him.

Water Instantaneous Body Technique!

Hanzo's figure instantly turned into water, then condensed again in the distance.

"You have successfully angered me."

These more than a thousand ninjas are the backbone of Amegakure, trained by Hanzo over decades.

Now, however, they are being taken by explosive tags that can be measured in money.

Hanzo was filled with resentment, resenting that Xiaoguanghui had underestimated him.

He hated even more the Akatsuki ninjas who had taken the lives of his men.

Hanzo's eyes sharpened, and he bit his fingertip, drawing a drop of blood.

"Spiritual communication!"

Accompanied by a glare, a terrifying figure slowly emerged from behind the smoke.

Sanshou and fish wells are hidden.

This is his ultimate weapon, and also his greatest source of confidence in becoming a demigod.

A giant salamander, tens of meters long, came into view.

Watanabe Tetsuya instantly realized what was about to happen.

"Everyone, put on your masks!"

The ninjas of the Akatsuki Society obeyed the order and put on the gas masks that had been hanging on their waists.

This is Watanabe Tetsu's countermeasure against Hanzo's use of salamanders as a last resort.

Although the poisonous mist from the salamander is so potent that even a gas mask cannot block it, this method can relatively reduce some of the damage.

Hanzo stood on Ibuki's head, his hands hanging down, his head tilted slightly, his tone filled with confusion.

"I'm really curious, what gave you the courage to challenge me?"

Watanabe Toru raised his head and answered seriously.

"You talk too much."
