Chapter 127 Hanzo: What are you waiting for? Why haven't you made your move yet? (Seeking monthly votes!!)

Buzz!

The ground beneath their feet trembled and vibrated, and even Luo Sha could feel the muffled thunderous sound.

Even through the rock strata, one could feel that immense power, as if an unseen monster was writhing underground, eager to break free of the cage that bound it.

The next moment, after the earth shook violently, came a deafening roar.

Bang!

The heavy objects around us were shaken and floated in the air as if weightless.

Beneath their feet, the ground suddenly bulged up, revealing terrifying cracks hundreds of meters in diameter.

The Sand Village ninja, who subconsciously attached his chakra to the ground, had no time to feel shocked and horrified by what he saw.

Click!

After a huge arc appeared on the ground, a deafening explosion resounded through the heavens and earth once again.

The shocking dent became even more pronounced, as if something was hitting the ground from below!

Judging from the extent of the bulge, the thing was tens of meters long!

Everyone shuddered violently, and fear instantly spread throughout their bodies.

In an instant, I first felt a sense of weightlessness, and then my whole body was lifted into the air.

No, it wasn't that they took off.

Instead, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.

Rumble!!

A dark crack appeared in the ground beneath Luo Sha's feet, and tents, tables, chairs, and other debris fell down instantly, being swallowed by the widening hole.

The earth, which was clearly solid, suddenly cracked, as if a pancake had been crushed by fingers, appearing so fragile and soft.

No, it should be said that it's like rice noodles or sand.

Someone drilled a hole under a sand table or rice jar, and with a gentle poke, everything collapsed into the hollow underground.

"What's going on?!"

"It's Hanzo!!"

Countless rocks cascaded into the deep pit. The Sand Ninja, who was sinking downwards, yelled and stepped on the falling boulders as a foothold to stabilize themselves, trying to leap onto the bottomless pit.

A layer of gold dust was placed under Luo Sha's feet as he half-squatted, barely supporting his body as he slowly rose upwards.

"How could the ground collapse have happened so suddenly?"

Looking down into the bottomless, dark abyss, Rasa's face was filled with horror and fear.

But in the next moment, slender eyes slowly opened in the deep pit.

"roar!!"

Before the Sand Ninja could react, a gaping maw, like an abyss, emerged from the ground.

A gigantic monster suddenly rose from the ground and burst forth from beneath Rasa and the other Sand Ninja!

"ah!!"

"monster!!"

"What is this thing?!"

Amidst the terrified screams of the Sand Ninja, and as Rasa gazed upon the gaping maw of the abyss rising into the sky, the hairs on his body stood on end.

In his ever-widening pupils, one could almost see the monster's stomach, its sharp teeth almost touching his face!

In this critical moment between life and death, he didn't even have time to continue climbing, or even to scream, before death had already bitten his earlobe!

As he sensed death approaching, he instinctively looked up and reached out his hand, looking at the light outside the crater above him.

A stench surged up from below, making Luo Sha feel suffocated and terrified.

And just as he was beginning to despair.

Hold on to me.

Chiyo suddenly appeared on the rubble above and grabbed Rasa's drowning hand.

Immediately, the blue-faced puppet left outside extended two iron whips from its head and bound Rasa and Chiyo's bodies.

Click!

Before the gaping maw of the abyss closed, the two were forcibly pulled up.

Rasa stepped onto the solid ground, his tense body instantly relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground, his face pale. Together with the Sand Ninja who arrived later, he looked down into the bottomless abyss with terrified eyes.

"A giant summoning beast?"

Beside him, Chiyo stood up, her expression solemn and grave. She said in a deep voice, "No wonder the wind suddenly picked up; it was indeed caused by human intervention."

It's likely that long before Hanzo appeared, that summoning beast had already dug up everything beneath their feet underground.

However, under the cover of the raging hurricane, everyone's attention was focused on the sky, and no one noticed the threat emanating from underground.

boom!!

As Chiyo pondered, bundles of dust and pebbles suddenly shot into the sky from the deep pit.

A massive cloud of dust spread outwards, and a hideous, enormous shadow appeared.

Snap! Crack! Thud!

The Sand Ninja were horrified by the sounds of teeth chewing, bones being crushed, and the sticky, slurring sounds of swallowing.

These subtle and complex sounds seemed to strike the hearts of everyone, causing their bodies to tremble.

The faint, intermittent wails, like parasites, crawled inch by inch up the spine of the body.

It burrows into the brain through the ear canals and corners of the eyes, tearing at the pituitary gland in the back of the head, telling them how close death is.

—That was clearly the sound of a monster eating people alive.

"Let's do it!"

Compared to the chuunibyou who were stunned by fear, Chiyo's angry roar made the jonin of Sunagakure react instantly.

"Wind Release: Sky Cannon!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

Before the dust settled, everyone, including Chiyo, made their move without prior arrangement.

Several wind-style ninjutsu techniques were unleashed, gradually converging in the air to form a condensed wind domain.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The wind domain contracted violently and then exploded instantly, enveloping the entire cloud of dust in front of it. The piercing, high-pitched shriek tore through the air, and countless sharp wind blades raged within it, leaving clear marks as they cut through the dust and mist!

But in the next moment, the enormous figure, which was faintly visible in the dust and mist, roared.

"roar!!"

The raging wind domain formed by countless wind blades exploded, turning into air currents that swept up dust and spread instantly, enveloping the Sand Ninja around the crater.

It also shook away the surrounding smoke and dust, creating a vacuum zone, and the monster's face was finally revealed.

"What is that?"

Many Sand Ninjas looked up blankly at the incredibly tall figure.

Its brownish-purple body was incredibly robust, with four toes on its forelimbs and five toes on its hindlimbs. Its thick, laterally flattened tail slapped the ground, creating an incredibly heavy tremor.

The skin has no scales, only a layer of mucous membrane covering it, and it keeps secreting liquid. When it drips down, it corrodes the ground and produces wisps of white smoke.

The salamander, despite its name, is not actually a fish, but an amphibian unique to the Land of Rain, and is one of the largest extant amphibians.

However, even the largest salamanders they had ever seen were only fifty to two hundred centimeters long, with most of them being less than twenty centimeters long.

I've never seen anything like this before. It's already twenty or thirty meters tall, and its length is absolutely terrifying.

Just lying there, with only the upper body upright, is like a towering, sun-blocking, collapsing mountain peak, with no way to avoid it, giving rise to fear and helplessness.

It really looks like a...

"monster."

Luo Sha clutched the second tear in her abdomen, staring blankly upwards and muttering unconsciously.

While he was distracted, he did not notice that a purple tinge was spreading along the blood vessels at the wound on his abdomen.

Click!Click!

The salamander called "Ibuki" lay on the ground, its huge mouth still chewing something, making crisp sounds, with scarlet blood and bone fragments flowing from the corners of its mouth.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the Sand Village ninja were all stunned.

Especially one person who had previously made arrogant remarks and was rescued by Chiyo.

Compared to the terrifyingly large salamander in front of him, his previous boasts were simply a joke.

The strong will put their strength into action, not into verbal squabbles like a shrew.

"Old woman."

Hanzo stood atop the salamander with his arms crossed, looking down at the crowd below. His long, light-gold hair flowed freely, and his tone was full of arrogance: "Let the blood of your Sunagakure ninja proclaim my name to the world."

Although his words were domineering, the black cat lying on his head looked rather comical.

However, no one can laugh now.

The salamander raised its thick neck, took a deep breath, and then suddenly lowered its head and opened its mouth towards the Sand Ninja.

puff! !

Suddenly, the previously bright weather turned gloomy, and it exhaled a stream of purple mist.

Poisonous mist, carrying deadly toxins, surged towards the Sand Village members.

In just a moment, the grass and trees on the ground withered.

The Jonin who had just used Wind Release ninjutsu were unable to dodge the poisonous mist closest to the salamander and were also enveloped in it.

In an instant, before they could even scream, their corroded and rotting bodies collapsed to the ground, turning into several corpses in the poisonous fog.

"How lethal is this poison?!"

Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, Chiyo's expression instantly changed. She flung out the purple scroll again, channeling chakra into it through hand seals.

Bang! !

Seven puppets of different shapes flew out of the "gate," and all ten members of the Chikamatsu Ten gathered around Chiyo, all wearing white robes but holding different weapons.

Just moments before the poisonous fog swept in, three puppets formed a triangular formation in front of them, activating the three mechanisms of "Buddha," "Dharma," and "Sangha."

"Suck the Three Treasures!" Chiyo's fingers twitched slightly as she shouted with a cold expression.

moment,

The three puppets, forming a triangular formation, extended their arms, generating an incredibly terrifying suction force.

The dust, stone chips, blood, and other debris in front of them were all drawn to the hurricane centered on the puppet, and even the rain was swept up by the wind!

The puppets also absorbed all the spreading poisonous mist that was sprayed out.

It gradually transformed into a compressed tornado, shooting out from behind the triangular formation!

Other Sand Village Jonin also reacted, using their own methods and ninjutsu to disperse the poisonous fog to a more distant location.

"Old man with the ventilation tube!"

Chiyo gritted her teeth and glared at Hanzo, her angry eyes seeming to want to devour him alive. She roared, "I won't let you succeed!"

As if to prevent his fame from spreading, she even stopped calling Hanzo by his name and instead referred to him directly as the old man with the ventilator.

At the same time, the puppet wielding a large sword suddenly appeared in mid-air and slashed fiercely at Hanzo's head.

Hanzo merely glanced at it, not even bothering to use his chains to block, and simply raised his eyes to say, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

呲! !

As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying shriek tore through the air; anything before that blade was as fragile as a bubble.

But the blade suddenly stopped in the next moment.

Buzzing!!

It was like hitting a hard barrier, producing a piercing buzzing sound.

"How is this possible?!" Chiyo below froze for a moment.

She clearly didn't see Hanzo making any hand seals!

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was actually a layer of flowing wind wall, shimmering with iridescent light.

"What is it?"

Before Chiyo could react, the black cat on Hanzo's head raised its eyes, and she met its amber-like vertical pupils.

The human-like impatience and coldness made Chiyo pause for a moment.

She then realized that neither the rain, the smoke, nor the poisonous fog had ever affected the area within a meter of the cat.

It looked as if it was shrouded in an invisible domain.

Immediately, Chiyo saw the black cat slowly raise its pink paw, and the puppet that had been standing in front of it making a clicking sound actually retreated little by little as it raised its paw.

The air seemed to ripple, gently spreading out in the rain like a gradually expanding transparent balloon.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, those sharp, vertical pupils pierced through, fixing their gaze on the white-clad puppet in the silent, pouring rain, and whispered, "Get lost."

As soon as it finished speaking, it stretched out its claws and slashed the air with force. The sharp claws only tore open a wisp of air, like cutting a hole in the surface of a soap bubble, but the Sand Villagers saw an unimaginable scene.

In that instant, the air between it and the puppet momentarily deformed and distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion, several times louder than the roar of the salamander, rang out.

That wasn't a roar, but a rumble in the air.

Stand: Lost Cat: Cloud Blast!

Bang! !

A white gas explosion erupted from between the black cat and the puppet, reaching the critical point in an instant and causing a spherical explosion.

In an instant, the greatsword overwhelmed the puppet, striking it squarely in the face with a terrifying impact!

The puppet, crafted with countless scarce resources, treasured by countless puppeteers of Sunagakure, and used for decades without damage, was watched by countless Sunagakure ninja below...

It exploded!

Sparks burst forth from the gaps between the puppets filled with mechanical parts, and countless hard parts exploded in the mouth like fireworks, shooting out in all directions!

The entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear the faint, fragmented sounds of each part bouncing off the ground.

It was as if what was shattered was not the puppet, but their hearts.

Even Hanzo, standing at the feet of the black cat, remained silent, though it was because the air was exploding close to his ear.

Hanzo felt only a buzzing in his ears, and his previously calm and arrogant demeanor crumbled. His face darkened as he said, "...You damn cat, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

The black cat on his head retracted its claws, glanced down at Hanzo indifferently, and then casually opened its mouth: "Meow?"

I'm just a little kitten.

What bad intentions could I possibly have?

"..." Hanzo's eye twitched involuntarily.
