On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

With Konan on one side and Yahiko on the other, Nagato had no idea how to choose between them.

But soon, Yahiko made the choice for him, rushing towards him with a smile as he held the kunai in his hand.

Even though the kunai had already been inserted into his body, Yahiko was still smiling, telling him with a smile.

"You must live on with Xiao Nan. You are the savior of this world. If it is you, perhaps you really can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yahiko died instantly, collapsing to the ground.

At that moment, the string of reason in Nagato's mind held on until he rescued Konan, then snapped.

He went berserk; he was determined to kill Hanzo at all costs.

However, Hanzo was very strong and fast. The experienced Hanzo could tell at a glance that Nagato was not simple, so he used Body Flicker Technique to escape.

"This time, I won't let you get away again," Payne declared coldly.

Hanzo once killed Yahiko, and today, he will use Yahiko's body to kill Hanzo with his own hands!

Seeing that Pain couldn't wait to fly over, Nagasawa was no longer in a hurry and slowly walked towards the direction Pain was flying with Musashi.

He was wondering whether he should remove this persona from the battlefield in the upcoming battle.

Even though it was just a script that was barely acceptable for a youth version, it caused his integration rate to skyrocket to 82%, a direct increase of 10%!

Once the fusion level reaches 80%, it takes 30,000 points to increase it by 1%.

Even if he finishes work now, he can still reach 90% fusion with the Whitebeard template by collecting points in the days to come before the Nine-Tails Night.

My current points balance is 130,000. I only need 110,000 more to reach 90%.

However, points are always a good thing, and even without considering future templates, points can be used directly to improve your strength, although it's not as cost-effective as using templates.

After thinking it over, Nagasawa decided to make this template disappear during the battle with Hanzo.

This aligns better with Whitebeard's fate in the Marineford War, and should potentially generate some more fusion points.

When Nagasawa and Musashi arrived, Pain and Obito were engaged in a fierce battle with Hanzo, surrounded by the corpses of many Rain Ninja.

Hanzo, wearing a breathing mask, stands atop his summoned creature, the salamander, wielding a scythe weapon with chains attached.

"Let me go, this isn't good for anyone," Hanzo pleaded with the two.

"You should have known this day would come when you were dealing with the Akatsuki," Pain said coldly.

No matter what, Hanzo must die today, and no one can stop him!

"Hanzo, the demigod, it seems you've gotten old, actually begging a junior to let you go." Nagasawa said with a regretful look as he came out.

Looking at Nagasawa, who was unusually tall and had a muscular build that didn't match his age, Hanzo frowned and asked, "And who are you?"

“Edward Newgate,” Nagasawa gave his name, showing great courtesy.

As a former demigod and a man who dared to wage war against three great nations, Hanzo deserves to be called out by him.

"I've never heard of that name," Hanzo said, shaking his head.

He had never heard of this name before, because Guangjun had used the nickname "White Beard" when reporting to him.

Since Guangjun didn't know the real name Edward Newgate, he could only refer to him by his nickname.

“Gurararara.” Nagasawa laughed loudly, “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. You just need to know that I am a remnant of the old era, just like you.”

"Remnants of the old era, that's fitting..." Hanzo suddenly realized that this ninja world... really was no longer his era.

"How about we, the two remnants of the old era, have a battle to settle everything?" Nagasawa's words, though seemingly a suggestion, carried an undeniable air of dominance.

Pain wanted to say something, but Obito teleported to Nagato's side and said something, and Pain fell silent and stopped moving.

"Musashi, step back a bit." Nagasawa told Musashi to step back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

After all, he was fighting someone of Hanzo's caliber, so Nagasawa had to take it seriously.

If it were Hanzo from ten years ago, he would probably need to use more than 80% of his strength.

However, when facing Hanzo, who has begun to age and has lost his faith, all that is needed is to be serious.

The reason why Obito and Pain failed to defeat Hanzo quickly was firstly because Pain only came to the Deva Path, and his abilities were not as proficient and powerful as they would later become.

Similarly, Obito is only fifteen years old this year.

Reaching the level of a Kage is already considered very strong.

Even with Nagasawa's training, Kakashi's current strength is still a long way from Kage level.

However, Obito's current situation is somewhat similar to Minato's. He can defeat opponents weaker than him in seconds, but it is difficult for him to win quickly against opponents of the same level.

Chapter 155 A Clash Between Water Release and Swordsmanship

The July sun was exceptionally bright, casting long shadows of the two men facing each other.

Nagasawa looked at Hanzo, his gaze sharpening, and unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki towards Hanzo.

Sa!

The powerful Conqueror's Haki directly stirred up a tangible gust of wind, causing the black robes on Obito and Pain to rustle loudly.

Hanzo's expression remained unchanged. He unleashed the killing intent and superior aura he had accumulated over a lifetime of battles, clashing with Nagasawa's Conqueror's Haki.

Click!

The trees nearby couldn't withstand the clash of their powerful auras and snapped.

At first it was just trees, but slowly, houses and the ground began to collapse.

This scene gave Obito a headache; how could these old guys be so powerful?

However, as a characteristic of the pirate world, Haki is naturally incomparable to the aura that Hanzo has accumulated. Soon, Hanzo fell into a disadvantageous position, and the degree of collapse on his side was obviously more serious.

However, Hanzo himself remained unfazed, unaffected by Nagasawa's Conqueror's Haki.

Seeing Hanzo's performance, Nagasawa felt a pang of emotion. If Hanzo were given the potential to unleash his Haki in his prime, he could probably master Conqueror's Haki instantly.

That's not necessarily true now; people's mindset is different.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand by using momentum, Hanzo realized that Nagasawa was no ordinary person, so he directly used the Great Waterfall Technique to change the terrain and create the water-based terrain that he was most skilled at.

Hanzo completed the hand seals at an extremely fast speed, and an exaggerated stream of water gushed from his mouth, rushing towards Nagasawa.

As the water flowed, under Hanzo's deliberate control, it formed many tall waves.

The last and largest wave reached a height of thirteen meters!

To perform such a water-based technique in a waterless place would undoubtedly be an exaggeration.

Even Hanzo had to gasp for breath after unleashing this attack, clearly indicating that he had expended a significant amount of chakra.

Seeing the massive waves, Yongze didn't flinch. He laughed twice, grabbed the Murakumogiri, and poured a large amount of wind-attribute chakra into them.

Swish!

Murakumogiri instantly extended into a long, cyan blade of light, transforming once again into a fourteen-meter-long greatsword.

In front of the towering waves, Nagasawa's originally tall body suddenly appeared tiny.

But that tiny figure swung that big sword once.

"cut!"

A streak of cyan sword energy shot out instantly.

Sa!

The gust of wind stirred up by the sword energy shattered the shape of the first wave, and many water droplets scattered in all directions, reducing its height by a quarter.

Whoosh!

The wave split in two the moment it touched the sword energy, turning into ordinary water that flowed in both directions.

*Smack! Smack!*

However, this is only the first wave; there are four more waves to come, each higher than the last.

After the cyan sword energy shattered the first wave, it quickly collided with the second wave.

As expected, the second wave was once again sliced ​​open by the massive cyan sword energy, and the water flowed to both sides.

However, the second wave slammed into the sword energy, causing the cyan sword energy to dim considerably.

After cutting through the third wave, the cyan sword energy dissipated directly, while the waves grew faster and faster, with the fourth and fifth waves already approaching Yongze.

Yongze was not surprised by this. He had not used the breathing technique to resonate with his previous strike, so it was far from his strongest strike.

If you use the breathing technique to resonate, the wind-attribute chakra and the breathing technique will resonate together, and you can definitely cut through all five waves at once.

As for why he didn't use breathing techniques, he was impersonating Whitebeard, and in the final battle, he naturally had to use Whitebeard's abilities.

"Airquake!"

Nagasawa channeled the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into Murakumo Cutter, causing a huge white halo to appear on the blade.

Click!Click!

A sound like a mirror shattering rang out, and cracks of varying sizes appeared in the air, spreading outwards.

Boom boom boom!!!

The powerful shockwave instantly shattered, directly disintegrating the fourth wave, turning it into ordinary water flowing on the ground.

As the fourth wave was broken, the shockwave continued to spread through the air, shattering the largest fifth wave as well.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The thirteen-meter-high wave was shattered, and a large amount of water shot out in all directions, as if it were raining.

After delivering that punch, Nagasawa also took a couple of breaths, though he was faking it. Hanzo was panting after unleashing his skill, so if he wasn't panting, how would he end things?

Obito and Pain had already retreated some distance; the commotion from their fight was quite significant.

Obito was not surprised by Hanzo's strength.

After all, according to the intelligence he had gathered, during the Second Shinobi World War, there was a battlefield where Hanzo was stationed, and the terrain of the battlefield had been basically changed.

If it weren't for the unexpected factor of Whitebeard, Obito would never have made a move at this time. He would have waited for Nagato to grow up and for Hanzo to grow old before taking action.
