Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 126 Ignorance is Bliss (End of month! Requesting monthly votes, extra chapter for May Day!!)

"Hanzo!?"

He stared intently at the man in the center of the conference table, the one who had swung his scythe.

In the already dilapidated tent, Chiyo's furious roar echoed, her face filled with uncontrollable rage!

Bang! !

As she rapidly formed hand seals, chakra surged forth from the scroll floating in mid-air, enveloping characters that burst forth from the surface and transformed into three humanoid puppets!

The third of the "White Secret Techniques: The Ten Masters of Chikamatsu"!

If the Second Kazekage, Shamon, was the founder of puppetry, then Monzaemon was the first person to learn puppetry and further improve upon it, making him an idol revered by all puppeteers.

The Chikamatsu Ten Ninja were Monzaemon's life's work.

Using ten fingers to simultaneously control ten puppets, mastering the essence of puppetry, they can cooperate with each other to form an array, and even be used to conquer a city. It is known as the strongest ten puppets, one of which is worth a thousand.

Chakra threads extended from her fingers, connecting to the three white-robed puppets. Chiyo let out a low, explosive shout: "Attack!"

Then, the female puppet wielding two large swords charged towards Hanzo under Chiyo's control, and then unleashed a furious slash!

Huff!

The fierce wind whipped up by the broadsword tore through the air, demonstrating the immense force of the blow.

But the next moment, Hanzo sneered and gripped his kusarigama tightly as he charged forward.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

At the moment of impact, a deafening explosion rang out, blinding sparks scattered and spewed out, and a violent gust of air surged up, scattering the raindrops that were drifting between the two.

However, Hanzo only tested the puppet a few times to get a general idea of ​​its strength, and then distanced himself without lingering in the fight.

"You clearly have ten fingers, but you only used three?"

Looking at Chiyo, whose face was ashen, on the other side of the conference table, Hanzo put the blood-stained kusarigama back into his hand. He then raised the sharp tip of the blade, pointed it at her, and sneered, "Are you looking down on me, you old puppet?"

"Hanzo! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Chiyo's raised finger trembled slightly, but she suppressed her anger and pointed at the Sand Ninja, demanding sharply, "Are you trying to start a war between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind?"

A person does not die immediately after being cut in half at the waist. On the contrary, they will become abnormally excited due to fear, pain, and blood loss. At the same time, they will also be acutely aware of the terrifying fear of death.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Lady Chiyo, save me, save me!"

"My intestines, no, no..."

Looking at those Sand Ninja who were only half-bodied, still crawling on the ground screaming and howling, leaving a trail with their internal organs.

Even Luo Sha, who had seen blood, couldn't help but feel nauseous and retreated with a slight tremor in his body.

If he hadn't instinctively blocked that blow, he would be the one crawling on the ground!

No one expected that Hanzo, that bastard, would dare to break into their territory and attack them directly in front of Chiyo, the commander of Sunagakure!

"Angry?" Hanzo's sneer faded, but the coldness in his eyes intensified. "But didn't you bring this on yourselves?"

As he spoke, the black cat perched on his head lazily opened its eyes.

Bang!

A corpse, carried by the wind, fell between Chiyo and Hanzo.

Sensing the movement of the black cat above him, Hanzo's expression seemed somewhat unnatural, perhaps because it was the first time he had been stepped on.

But he quickly regained his composure, pointed at the corpse, and looked at Chiyo, asking coldly, "This guy is a ninja from your Sunagakure, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Dai, who was filled with anger, paused for a moment, looked down at the face of the corpse, and instantly recognized the corpse's identity.

—A member of the Sand Village Puppet Force.

"What happened?" Chiyo's brows furrowed, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. "How could he have died at your hands?"

"So you admit it? Since you're a ninja from Sunagakure, things will be much easier to resolve..."

Hanzo's eyes remained unwavering as he murmured almost to himself, "Tolerating a bunch of bastards like you will only lead to this result, an even more brutal and cruel massacre."

"As expected, Musashi was wrong, and that brat and I were right. We should give you shameless bastards an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"Since you've killed hundreds or thousands of civilians, it's not unreasonable for me to kill hundreds or thousands of your ninjas in return, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chiyo's expression changed instantly. With a slight twitch of her fingers, the bull-headed puppet, skilled in close combat, stepped forward and stood beside her.

"Hanzo, I don't know what you're talking about, but I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Chiyo glanced at the kusarigama in Hanzo's hand, took a few steps back warily to create some distance, and said with a serious and sincere expression, "I have repeatedly emphasized that civilians must not be slaughtered, and no one would dare to disobey my orders."

"I hope you can think this through calmly and not fall into some guys' trap."

Too close, the distance is too close.

Although she always spoke of the Land of Rain with disdain, Chiyo was actually somewhat wary of Musashi and Hanzo.

The biggest advantage of ninjas who are skilled in swordsmanship and taijutsu compared to ordinary ninjas lies in their high mobility, speed without the need for hand seals, and single-target damage.

However, despite her apprehension, she wasn't afraid.

She just didn't quite understand what Hanzo meant by "killing hundreds or thousands of civilians."

His instincts told him that someone must be up to no good!

"Your hypocritical act disgusts me."

Hanzo's eyes flashed with even colder light, his tone icy: "Look carefully, this is neither a transformation jutsu nor a trap. Your identity as a Sand Village ninja is beyond doubt!"

"From this day forward, I will no longer compromise or tolerate you. Let's meet on the battlefield!"

As the two confronted each other, a large number of Sand Village ninjas arrived, eyeing the strangely-looking Hanzo with predatory intent, their gazes unconsciously drifting towards the top of his head.

"Hey! You old man with the cat-shaped breathing tube on your head!"

An impatient young Sand Ninja stepped forward, angrily demanding, "You trespassed into our camp and killed our men. Do you think you can just leave like this?"

"That's right, these warriors from a mere small country really think they're something special?"

"Let's kill that guy together and avenge our comrades!"

Hanzo, who had originally planned to leave, stopped in his tracks upon hearing these ignorant and audacious provocations, and softly retorted, "Kill me?"

The black cat perched on his head opened its amber eyes, stood up, and revealed a human-like mockery on its face.

It's unclear whether they're laughing at Hanzo being mocked by a bunch of weaklings, or at those ignorant and rude Sand Village weaklings.

Looking at the Sand Ninja rushing towards them, Ji Yun, still in cat form, shook his head.

Just then, Chiyo suddenly looked down at her feet, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"Watch out underground! There's...!"

Before she could finish speaking, the ground beneath her feet trembled and cracked open in several places.

Click, click, click! Snap!

It's as if something is drilling wildly underground, causing the flat ground to arch and bulge, forming exaggerated stepped faults.

"Ibuki," Hanzo growled.

As soon as the words were spoken, a loud explosion erupted.

boom!!

A force suddenly pushed upwards, and the ground was shattered by unimaginable force, sinking in as if an earthquake had occurred!

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a massive, purplish-black monster emerged, raising its head and unleashing a terrifying roar that shook the heavens.

"roar!!"
