Konoha: Who's the good guy?

"There! Our people have been attacked!"

"The insignia on the mask! This is the Dark Division of Kirigakure!"

"Watch out! Surround the surrounding area first!"

"More than ten people have been taken down! Be careful, this is no ordinary opponent!"

"..."

The sound of something rapidly cutting through the air was accompanied by muffled shouts coming from behind gas masks.

Although Akatsuki's current base is located in a remote area near the edge of Amegakure, it is still within the village's boundaries.

As soon as the distress flare was raised, the ninja guarding Amegakure sounded the alarm.

In just a few moments, ninjas from the surrounding streets quickly arrived!

"Be firmer! If you're too soft, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Yamanaka Kei shook the large sword Samehada in his right hand.

But after that fierce display, Samehada, who seemed to be drunk, not only failed to stand up, but became even softer.

It didn't even look as good as the Green Tongue he had eaten in his previous life.

They watched as more and more Rain Village ninjas gradually surrounded them.

Yamanaka Kei slung the Samehada sword back behind his back with a disgruntled expression and picked up a ninja sword that had just been used by an Akatsuki member from the ground.

The enhanced sword and blade control provided by the [Invisible Decapitation Slash] skill allows his swordsmanship to transcend the limitations of any single weapon.

I weighed the ninja sword, which was about a meter long, in my hand.

Countless ways and techniques for using this type of knife came to mind.

Moreover, compared to Samehada's somewhat cumbersome brute force, it relies on overwhelming force.

A more agile ninja sword, capable of unleashing more slashes in a shorter time, is actually more likely to trigger the concept attack of the "Invisible Decapitation Slash".

"Water Release: Rain Slicer!"

A carefree smile crept onto Yamanaka Kei's lips.

The left hand forms a mudra.

A surge of chakra coursed through his body.

The chakra, enough to unleash two S-rank ninjutsu, was entirely poured into this water-style ninjutsu.

Water Release: Rain Cutting - This is a secret technique that can weaken all external ninjutsu and chakra except for Water Release ninjutsu!

In the original work, the Hidden Mist Anbu used this move to weaken and eliminate Naruto's Rasengan, as well as the Super Beast Imitation Drawing released by Sai, a Root ninja.

In such a special environment.

A ninja skilled in Water Release techniques will undoubtedly experience a significant boost in strength.

Ninjas who are not skilled in Water Release techniques will have their ninjutsu significantly reduced in power, even if they can use it.

The weaker ones can only fight using physical skills.

With the mountain scenery as the center, the light drizzle within a one-kilometer radius of Amegakure gradually intensified under the Water Release: Cutting Rain technique.

Some Amegakure ninjas, who relied on chakra to stand sideways on the wall, were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the experienced ninjas quickly increased the chakra output from their feet.

"Spiritual Spell: King of Conch Shells!"

A bizarre, gigantic creature, resembling a combination of a clam and a conch, appeared on the street corner.

A Rain Ninja Jonin wearing a gas mask stands atop a summoning beast with his arms crossed.

Seeing the mountain scenery and the gazes of my companions around me.

The salamander god, known as Hanzo's right-hand man, spoke in a cold voice.

"This kind of Water Release: Rain of Cuts! Genin can't handle this! Genin, retreat! Chunin, seal off the surrounding streets! Jonin, use Water Release! Attack with me!"

"yes!"

The ninja from the surrounding Rain Village responded in unison.

The genin hurriedly tried to escape the encirclement, while the jonin began forming hand seals!

"Salamander God? Your summoned beast is quite impressive."

The sound of the mountain dweller changing his voice came from behind Sanshojin.

"When?!"

Sanshokujin's pupils contracted sharply, and he swung his kunai behind him!

Splash!

The sound of water shattering came from within.

Before the salamander god could even catch his breath...

Four water clones, their true forms unknown, surrounded him, their ninja swords aimed directly at his vital points.

An ordinary water clone has less than one-tenth the attack power of the original body under normal circumstances.

But that's normal!

Under the influence of Water Release: Rain of Cutting, the attacks of these clones were extremely fierce. The blades, gleaming with a cold light, already caused the skin of the Salamander God to sting even before they made contact!

Ding ding ding ding!

Amidst the dense clang of metal, the spirit beast Snail King beneath the feet of the Salamander God extended several tentacles as thick as an adult's arm from the gaps in its shell, helping to absorb a large portion of the attacks.

puff~

The sound of swords piercing flesh rang out.

Yamanaka Kei slapped Sanshokujin on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, and then tossed him to a nearby clone.

The clone hoisted the opponent onto its back, then flashed through the air and disappeared into a building on the side.

Hmm, the summoning beast is nice, so it's mine!

Swish swish swish~

Tentacles, each carrying a fierce and powerful force, lashed out.

With a powerful stomp, Shan Zhongjing unleashed his Water Arm Technique, and the Conch King was forced to sink a foot into the ground by the force of the sudden burst.

The immense power completely stunned it.

Water Release: Water Chaos Wave! Water Release: Water Jet! Water Release: Water Prison Technique! Water Release: Water Gun Technique! Water Release: Water Whip! Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

One after another, streams of water escaped from all directions.

Having just used Water Release: Wave Strike, he merged into the water using the Water Transformation Technique and quickly appeared above the Snail King's head in the mountain scenery. He turned his head and curiously glanced at the clever man who used the Mist Concealment Technique.

Use the Mist Concealment Technique on the Mist Concealment Anbu.

Seriously?

pop~

The old ninja next to the intelligent man slapped the young man hard, interrupting the use of the Hidden Mist Technique.

As soon as Shan Zhongjing grinned, his entire body turned into flowing water.

Using the Water Release: Wave Riding technique, he moved quickly through the water, blending into the overwhelming barrage of Water Release ninjutsu.

"what!"

A Kirigakure Jonin standing atop a steel protrusion let out a scream.

A blood-stained ninja sword had pierced through his left chest!

As the blade swung away from his body.

Shan Zhongjing also revealed his figure, which was forming a hand seal with one hand.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

A thick fog rolled and rose, obscuring everyone's vision in just a few breaths.

Amidst the thick fog, a song with a light and cheerful tone but extremely poignant lyrics seemed to come from all directions, sending chills down the spines of all the Rain Village ninjas!

"The rain outside the window keeps pattering, it's been falling for three days and three nights, just like you, my dearest, who hasn't come home for three days and three nights. Is this how our love is going to end? Is this your answer...?"

"what!"

"Damn it! I..."

"No! I didn't steal your woman..."

"Damn it..."

"Big brother! Let me introduce you to someone, ah..."

"Ah~!"

Pfft~ Pfft~

Short screams and wails, mixed with the sounds of blades tearing into flesh and corpses falling to the ground, reached everyone's ears.

The chilling singing never stopped for a moment!

"What kind of perverts are those from Kirigakure! Singing while killing people!"

"Someone use Wind Release to blow this damn fog away!"

"Fire Release is also an option!"

"The Rain Slash is still working! Who can use it?!"

"Damn it! Everyone back up! Expand the encirclement! Don't stand in the fog!"

"Lord Hanzo is coming soon! Hold on! Don't let the enemy escape!"

Panic shouts and commands rang out continuously.

[Beep~ Killing a minor supporting character slightly interferes with the world line's development, granting: 1 chance to draw an entry.]

Hidden within the mist concealment technique, the mountain scenery put away the summoning contract scroll handed over by the shadow clone.

After glancing at the system's rewards and sensing the barely moving power of fortune, he slightly pursed his lips.

It was fortunate that he had robbed a spirit beast.

Otherwise, would this reward be worth the long trip he made?

His gaze was directed toward the center of Amegakure.

Shan Zhongjing narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his fully unleashed perception, a figure with an extremely powerful aura was rapidly approaching.

"Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world? Salamander... that doesn't sound too bad?"
