Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Hanzo, the salamander wielding a large scythe, seemed addicted to adding footprints to Danzo's old face. Every time Danzo got up, Hanzo would rush to his side, brandish his scythe in the air without saying a word, and then continue kicking him, as if researching how many footprints he could leave on Danzo's old face...

"Stop! Fire Release..."

"what!"

However, after watching for a while, the second male lead's grandfather also came to his senses. Although Shimura Danzo was a bit useless, he was still Hiruzen Sarutobi's good buddy. If he were kicked to death in front of them, who knew if Hiruzen Sarutobi would make things difficult for the Uchiha clan? After all, since his good brother Kagami died, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no connection with the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan already had a bad reputation in the village because of the incident where his father and his group threatened Tobirama Senju. At this time, the Uchiha had not yet returned to their peak and had to keep a low profile.

However, the second male lead's grandfather had also awakened his Sharingan and unleashed his Fire Release technique. But at this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander only had Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha, in his eyes. He ignored the second male lead's grandfather's attack, dodged one Fire Release technique, and then went to Shimura Danzo, who had just gotten up and was still forming hand seals to prepare for his Wind Release technique. He then kicked that old face again.

Although the second male lead's grandfather was the leader of the Uchiha clan, after the First World War and the death of Uchiha Kagami, the Uchiha clan no longer had any truly formidable fighters. While the Uchiha clan was known as a clan of geniuses, that was relative to ordinary people; they had no true geniuses who could reach the Kage level. The second male lead's grandfather was only a quasi-Kage. For a quasi-Kage to stop a Kage who was determined to fight was extremely difficult, even for the second male lead's grandfather. Even with his three-tomoe power activated, he couldn't do it. He could see Hanzo's movements clearly and even copy and use them simultaneously, but it was all useless. Hanzo completely ignored him. He rushed forward, wanting to engage in close combat with Hanzo, but Hanzo kicked Shimura Danzo to the other side and continued attacking. He tried to unleash his fire jutsu, but he couldn't hit it. He also had incredibly powerful fire jutsu, but he dared not use it. If he killed Shimura Danzo instead of Hanzo, wouldn't he become a murderer?

Killing fellow disciples in Konoha is punishable by life imprisonment...

...

boom!

"what..."

boom!

"what..."

"..."

While Hanzo was leaving footprints for Danzo, he was also preventing the second male lead's grandfather from saving him. The scene was quite intense. Even the underlings fighting on the other side noticed the battle and stopped fighting. Their eyes followed Danzo's figure as he moved. Wherever Danzo flew, their eyes followed.

"This is Konoha's chief advisor, the one who shot down the moon, Shimura Danzo???"

The second male lead's father, who had already racked up countless pentakills, was sweating profusely as he looked at the man who even his father couldn't save and asked his clansmen in disbelief.

How famous was Shimura Danzo in Konoha? How famous was he in the ninja world?

In Konoha, whenever the name Shimura Danzo is mentioned, the villagers will all give him a thumbs up.

In the ninja world, whenever Shimura Danzo is mentioned, the first thing people think of is that man who wanted to go to the moon!

Whether or not they can actually do it, their spirit alone is absolutely admirable.

But what did he see now?

The man who wanted to hit the moon got beaten up.

And every single game he got instantly killed, without even a chance to speak!

The key point is that Hanzo the Salamander isn't a master of physical combat, although he's okay at it, but his profession is a mage.

This guy who wanted to go to the moon was actually knocked out by a great mage using physical skills. How weak is that?!

"Hey! I didn't expect Konoha's chief advisor to be so incompetent! ヾ(^Д^*)/"

"Who! (▼へ▼メ)"

"Holy crap! That's... a Cloud Ninja! (?Д?)ノ"

"And...Iwa ninja! Wait...look there...isn't that Shiki the Golden Lion???(*′?Д?)"

"What's going on? How did they get here?! Σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

Just as the people of Konoha were shocked that their chief advisor had been KO'd by a professional mage using taijutsu, they suddenly heard someone daring to mock their chief advisor. Moreover, they didn't know when, but suddenly a lot, a lot, a lot... people appeared around them. They rubbed their eyes and took a closer look, almost wetting themselves in fright. On the left were Iwa ninja, on the right were Kumo ninja, and when they saw the group behind them, they immediately knelt down. The blond guy in the center carrying a golden greatsword was a little slovenly, but he exuded an oppressive aura that made people want to call him "daddy." Wasn't that the Sand Village's Golden Lion?

What's he doing here?! 0ДQ.

211. No matter what, they are the team leader.

"Ah...uh..."

"What the hell! Sand Village warriors, charge! Tsuchikage, old man, you two just watch from the sidelines...! Damn it, you bastard, how dare you mess with my brothers! (-"-Angry)"

The old guy leading the Iwagakure team clearly had never fought in a group before, but he still wanted to show off. Shinto interrupted him directly, drew his greatsword, and spoke to the leader of the Cloud Ninja, Tsuchida, and the old man. Then, he glared angrily at the people of Konoha, his aura exploding. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the handsome Sasori next to him had been taken down by Konoha.

"kill!!!"

The Sand Ninja underlings behind him were also infected by this wave of momentum and actually believed that their young master had been killed by the people of Konoha. They charged towards the people of Konoha with murderous intent, looking like they wanted to avenge their young master, which left the Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja around them dumbfounded.

"This... Lord Tsuchidai, let's go too!"

On the Cloud Ninja side, watching the Sand Ninja team up with the Rain Ninja to fight against the Konoha people, the Cloud Ninja behind Tsuchikage were also getting excited. It was so damn exciting! And since they were from a big village, they couldn't go up and steal kills without their leader's permission.

Although they didn't know how the people of Konoha had managed to make the Sand Village's genius puppeteer so hot-tempered with the Golden Lion, since the Sand Village's own members had already taken to the field, they naturally couldn't fall behind.

"...Let's go!"

Tsuchita glanced at the battlefield situation. Although the Sand Ninja had joined the fray, the well-equipped Konoha ninja were still a cut above in overall strength. In particular, the Uchiha clan of Konoha were truly deserving of the title of "one against five." Although the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja had more kills than Konoha, especially the Sand Ninja's puppeteers, each of whom could do the work of two or three people, they were still no match for the Uchiha clan. The Sharingan's functions were just too damn versatile.

Before they arrived, their strategist and chief priest had instructed the Raikage that it would be best to treat the Land of Rain as the battlefield. After all, during the battle in the Land of Whirlpools, Hanzo of the Salamander also obtained the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. Although it was not very useful, the Land of Rain's reputation had indeed been established, and its reputation as the sixth great ninja village was growing stronger. It didn't matter if their strength was a little weak; they could always develop it over time. However, reputation was the most important thing. Once they made a name for themselves, it would be much easier to develop their strength.

Five great ninja villages are enough for the ninja world. No one would allow a sixth great ninja village to emerge. Starting a war in the Land of Rain would weaken the Land of Rain's national strength, which is something they would like to see. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Tsuchidai all the way to the Land of Rain to ask for passage.

"Let's go! Drive the Konoha ninjas out of the Land of Rain!!!"

However, Onoki happened to share the same idea, so when the Cloud Ninja entered the scene, the old Iwa Ninja leader, who had been rebuked by Shiki but dared not vent his anger, transferred his rage to Konoha.

He was previously annoyed that both the Cloud Ninja and the Sand Ninja had come, and that Tsuchikage and Shiki were not people to be trifled with. The people of Konoha would not be foolish enough to invade the Land of Rain. It would be too difficult to open up a battlefield in the Land of Rain. He could not win no matter which side he fought against. Moreover, judging from the Sand Ninja's attitude of hosting Shiki as soon as they arrived at the Salamander Hanzo, it was clear that the Rain Ninja had already teamed up with the Sand Ninja. It was also unrealistic to fight against the Rain Ninja.

But to his surprise, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually sent that ambitious Danzo Shimura, and this Danzo Shimura was such a complete idiot, daring to lead an army into the Land of Rain! As a high-ranking member of Iwagakure, he really wanted to know how Danzo Shimura had managed to become Konoha's chief advisor...

And Golden Lion... he can't afford to mess with Golden Lion...!

"Holy crap! Shameless! Stop them from stealing our kills! I'll pay them 500 out of my own pocket for every kill they get! (▼へ▼メ)"

Seeing that the Cloud Ninja and Iwagakure had also joined the fray, Shinto rushed forward and attacked anyone who wasn't one of his own, regardless of whether they were from Konoha, Amegakure, Cloud Ninja, or Iwagakure—as long as they weren't on his side...

"Kill them!"

With their leader's words, the Sand Ninja underlings' eyes lit up and they slashed even more fiercely. They imitated their leader, slashing anyone who wasn't one of their own, regardless of who it was. Each kill was worth five hundred bucks! Although the Sand Ninja weren't short of money, if they went to Lord Shinto to collect bribes too often, they might catch his eye and become rich!

"Ouch! Holy crap, I attacked the wrong person! The ones from Konoha are over there! (▼he▼メ)"

"You damn Cloud Ninja, you fucking hit me! (╬◣д◢)"

"Fuck your grandpa, I'll chop you to death! ヽ(●-`Д′-)ノ"

"..."

The Sand Ninja's actions completely ignited the fighting spirit of the Cloud and Rock Ninja in the team battle. They were initially attacking the Konoha people, but every now and then they would be stabbed in the back. When they turned around, they found that it was either a Sand Ninja, a Cloud Ninja, or a Rock Ninja. Instantly, they were enraged and turned around to stab in the back.

"Father, we can't fight anymore, the casualties are too high, let's retreat!"

The five villages were locked in a chaotic battle, with no distinction between friend and foe. The Konoha ninja, who had been relentlessly suppressed after the Cloud and Rock ninjas entered the fray, suffered even greater casualties. After narrowly escaping an attack from who-knows-what—whether it was from the Sand, Rock, Cloud, or Konoha ninjas—the second male lead's father, who was still struggling to rescue Danzo, spoke with trepidation.

It was so close! If it weren't for his quick reflexes, his family line would have ended. This kind of chaotic battle is terrifying. Even activating the Sharingan doesn't give you any advantage. Tens of thousands of people are fighting in a chaotic melee. The fighting style is so brutal that anyone who isn't one of your own is instantly killed. Just watching it makes your scalp tingle.

"Damn it! Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

"Uchiha, retreat! Danzo, retreat first, our casualties are too high!"

The second male lead's father was heartbroken watching his Konoha underlings fall one after another, especially his Uchiha underlings. If he could, he really wanted Hanzo of the Salamander to kill Danzo, that stupid idiot. But it seemed that Hanzo of the Salamander had become addicted to leaving footprints on Danzo's face. He carried his scythe but didn't actually chop him down. He just brandished his sword and every time he rushed to Danzo's side, he would leave a footprint on the old man's face.

And this Danzo is really shameless. He was covered in so many footprints by the salamander Hanzo but he still didn't die. I had no choice but to use my family's ultimate move, regardless of whether it hurt Danzo or not, to force the salamander Hanzo back first, and then come to Danzo, who was being grazed by the fire dragon. His pants were on the left side, and a big white leg was exposed by the beaker. I helped him up and said.

They're the team leader, after all; we really can't just leave them out...

212. The Golden Lion, Unparalleled in Benevolence and Righteousness

"Damn it... Ouch! Retreat!!!"

Danzo, helped up, touched his swollen, pig-like face covered in shoe prints. He was about to rant when he pulled a nerve and was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. Looking ahead at the chaotic battle, he saw the Golden Lion, wielding a giant golden sword and dressed entirely in black, unleashing a barrage of kunai at him with various ninjutsu. The kunai made a series of clanging sounds, but to no avail; the Golden Lion continued to relentlessly rack up stats and power. Danzo was terrified. Seeing the Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja around him, even a fool would know he couldn't stay there any longer.

My brother's death is one thing, but if he catches the eye of the Golden Lion above, it won't be as simple as just having his face smeared. That bastard has a history of attacking his own village...

"Kill them! Chop them all up, you idiot!" (▼へ▼メ)

The people of Konoha retreated in twos and threes along with Danzo and the second male lead's grandfather, while the people from the four villages on the battlefield were so engrossed in the battle that they didn't give chase at all and continued to fight fiercely.

At this point, Shinto had also gotten carried away. He charged into the crowd covered in Armament Haki and started hacking away wildly without any skill. Every swing of his sword was a kill. This way of fighting was so incredibly exciting that he entered a state of complete absorption as he hacked away.

"Kill them! o(▼皿▼メ;)o"

At this moment, the Cloud Ninja, a group of muscular men, were even more prone to losing their tempers. Infected by the atmosphere, they became even more bloodthirsty than Shinto, beating anyone they saw without distinguishing friend from foe. Some even wrestled and grappled with each other.

"boom!"

"boom!".

"puff!"

"Lord Tsuchidai, are you alright?"

Suddenly, the leader of the Cloud Ninjas flew out from the crowd, spitting out a tube of blood. A footprint appeared on his chest as he lay sprawled on the ground. His underlings immediately rushed over to protect him.

"Damn this monster... I'm fine..."

Tsuchida, supported by his underlings, struggled to his feet. Looking at the golden lion in front of him, which was already painted with ink, he cursed under his breath. He was a cultured man who had never uttered a single curse word in his more than thirty years of life. Because of this, he was the winner of the Moral Conduct Award every year. However, looking at the golden lion, whose body was as hard as their Raikage, he couldn't help but swear.

He was sent flying by Shiki's kick. Earlier, seeing his underlings being slaughtered by the enraged Shiki, he was so angry that he unleashed a Great Lava Release attack on the dark figure. But this lunatic actually took the hit head-on and kicked him, sending him flying. Thanks to his years of weightlifting, he was in good shape. Anyone else would have been blown to bits. That kick felt like being hit by a train. Shiki's strength was just insane.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Konoha has retreated. Let's retreat too. That Golden Lion is just too ferocious..."

One of the more level-headed underlings looked at the Golden Lion, who was unharmed despite countless attacks and was still racking up stats, and his legs went weak. This was practically the Raikage's toughness! They couldn't even break through his defenses. If they stayed any longer, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Moreover, their goal was simply to open up a battlefield in the Land of Rain, or as their strategist would say, to sabotage the Land of Rain's economic development. Now that their goal has been achieved, the surrounding area has been completely destroyed by their various chaotic ninjutsu, and the people of Konoha have also retreated. Staying there would be pointless; they wouldn't be able to defeat the Golden Lion and would instead be defeated by him.

"...Let's go!"

After catching his breath, Tsuchikage nodded. Golden Lion Shiki was a complete beast. He had met Golden Lion Shiki back in the Land of Commerce, and he believed most of the rumors about him in the ninja world were just that—rumors. He thought Golden Lion Shiki was a fairly amiable person. Who knew he'd become so neurotic when it came to fighting, even killing his own people? He'd just witnessed it; several Sand Ninja had gotten too close and been slashed by him...

This is absolutely inhuman.

"Lord Cang...Lord Cang, let's retreat! We can't stop this golden lion!"

On the Iwa ninja side, old man Kuraichi was much luckier than Tsuchida, who was kicked to near death by Shinto. After all, he was already in his fifties and didn't have the same passion as the younger Tsuchida. So when he entered the arena with his underlings, he deliberately kept his distance from Shiki. Even if he saw his underlings being cut down by Shiki, he wouldn't rush in to take revenge like Tsuchida did. He knew all too well how hardcore Shiki was. How many people in the ninja world could withstand a Tailed Beast Ball without getting hurt?

Rushing in to fight head-on is just asking for death. If his underlings get slashed, he can just slash a few more Sand Ninjas to make up for it. So, apart from being a little out of breath and having his breathing a bit scattered after not slashing for so long, the old man Kuraichi is in much better condition than the leader of the Cloud Ninjas.

"We're retreating too!"

After hearing his subordinate's words, he looked towards Shiki's side. The attack was indeed incredibly fierce. Konoha had been pushed back, and the Cloud Ninja had already fled. If they remained, they would become the main targets of Shiki's attacks. The war had only just begun; they couldn't afford to suffer too many losses in the early stages...

......

"Big brother, the people from Konoha have escaped. Should we give chase?"

The Iwa ninja were gone, leaving only the Amegakure ninja and his Sand ninja underlings. Shinto couldn't afford to act rashly anymore. In a chaotic battle, it's understandable to mistakenly target friendly Amegakure ninja, and even Hanzo the Salamander could be forgiven. But now only they and the Amegakure ninja remained; further fighting would be unreasonable, especially since the Land of Rain was now an ally...
