The Uchiha Clan's Sun

'Such a fast teleportation!'

As Uchiha Jin looked at Hanzo of the Salamander who appeared in front of him and slashed with his sword, he seemed to see another Minato Namikaze!

'But this strike wasn't aimed at a vital spot. Are you trying to capture me alive?'

Uchiha Jin lowered his center of gravity, his eyes turned crimson, and three tomoe appeared! At the same time, he reached into his pouch and took out a kunai, steadily blocking the blade of the scythe in Hanzo's hand!

With a soft clang, Uchiha Jin clearly saw the purple venom sliding down the blade of Hanzo's scythe!

"Sharingan?! It seems you really are a ninja from the Uchiha clan!"

Hanzo the Salamander was somewhat surprised. He withdrew his hand and distanced himself from Uchiha Jin. The venom on his scythe splashed onto the sand, corroding pits and sending up plumes of foul-smelling white smoke!

Hanzo the Salamander did not continue his attack. Instead, he looked at Jin Uchiha with suspicion and asked, "Generally speaking, when carrying out infiltration missions, in order to prevent their identities from being exposed, everyone will try their best to remove any items that can prove their identity!"

"Uchiha brat, what are you trying to do by coming here in such a grand manner?"

Currently, Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village are facing off within the territory of the Land of Rain.

Logically speaking, Hanzo the Salamander, the master of the Land of Rain, should be a force that both Konoha and Iwagakure should strive to win over!

Even if Konoha or Iwagakure wanted to do something, they would shift the blame to the other party!

Therefore, Hanzo of the Salamander was somewhat puzzled by Uchiha Jin's high-profile invasion operation, which might push him towards Iwagakure.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Jin explained, "Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions towards you or Amegakure! I'm here waiting for someone!"

Hanzo the Salamander pressed on, "Who?"

Uchiha Jin didn't hide anything and said directly, "My Hokage's assistant is Shimura Danzo!"

Hanzo the Salamander narrowed his eyes, his confusion growing even stronger!

Hanzo the Salamander was no stranger to the name Danzo Shimura; in fact, he had even dealt with Danzo Shimura several times!

Based on Hanzo the Salamander's understanding of Danzo Shimura, he knew that wherever this man appeared, nothing good was likely to happen!

Hanzo the Salamander asked, "If you're looking for Shimura Danzo, why are you here?"

"That's a long story!" Uchiha Jin smiled and said, "Would Hanzo-senpai like to find another place to talk?"

Although the exchange between the two was brief and brief, the resulting clash of chakra was enough to alert others!

According to Uchiha Jin's perception, a large number of guard ninjas are already on their way here!

The existence of Uchiha Jin could be exposed to Hanzo of the Salamander, since Hanzo was someone he planned to contact!

However, Uchiha Jin cannot be exposed to the eyes of the other Amegakure ninja, for who knows if those Amegakure ninja are spies planted by other ninja villages!

Because of Hanzo the Salamander's existence, Uchiha Jin couldn't possibly kill all the Rain Ninja who had seen him!

So we'll just have to find a quieter place to talk about it!

However, Hanzo the Salamander misunderstood. He raised his sickle and said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to talk here, we can go somewhere else!"

"I'm sure my Amegakure's interrogation room will satisfy you!"

Before he finished speaking, Hanzo the Salamander vanished from his spot once again!

A sharp glint of light flashed, and Uchiha Jin's body was split in two!

"Don't try to escape!"

Hanzo the Salamander didn't even glance at the severed body of Uchiha Jin. He turned around and shot out of his hand in a certain direction!

Uchiha Jin turned around and used a kunai to deflect the flying scythe. He then used the momentum to flip over the wall and sped away into the distance!

Hanzo the Salamander snorted softly, and with a swift movement, he chased after the direction Uchiha Jin had left in!

A moment later, a dozen or so figures dressed as Rain Ninja appeared in the courtyard!

"This is it! The commotion came from here!"

"Hmm? There are traces of chakra on this broken wooden stake! It must be a substitution jutsu!"

"Everyone be careful! It's Lord Hanzo's poison! Someone is fighting Lord Hanzo!"

These dozen or so people were all elite ninjas from Amegakure. In no time, they were able to analyze the events that had occurred here based on the remaining traces at the scene!

"Everyone, follow him! Remember not to get too close. Lord Hanzo's poison is extremely potent. Just keep your distance!"

"understand!"

Someone shouted a warning, and then the dozen or so people followed the direction Uchiha Jin had gone!

Chapter 18 The Gap in Experience!

"Alright! That's enough of the chase! Water Release: Water Whip!"

Hanzo of the Salamander chased Uchiha Jin all the way to the outskirts of Amegakure. Once he saw that there was no one else around, he immediately made his move!

Hanzo the Salamander had previously been caught off guard, allowing King Uchiha to escape his mansion and arrive in Amegakure. Because he was concerned that his special status would affect a large number of civilians in Amegakure, Hanzo the Salamander had been holding back from taking action!

Now that he's left Amegakure, Hanzo the Salamander has no more scruples!

Hanzo the Salamander swung his chain, and a rushing stream of water attached to the chain, increasing its attack range several times over, before lashing it out at Uchiha Jin in front of him!

While ordinary water may not be very offensive, when it flows at high speed, its terrifying destructive power is enough to split gold and shatter rocks!

Especially in the hands of Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world, a small water whip could unleash power no less than an S-rank ninjutsu, leaving behind smooth trenches on the ground!

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Uchiha Jin dodged a water whip without forming any hand seals, then turned around and spat a fireball at Hanzo the Salamander!

The fireball swelled as it faced the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it became a huge fireball with a diameter of twenty meters!

Sensing the intense heat of the fireball, Hanzo the Salamander dared not be careless. He pulled on the iron chain and controlled the water whip to lash out at the giant fireball!

With a piercing 'hiss', a large amount of water vapor rose up, and the huge fireball was split in two by the water whip!

But Hanzo the Salamander had no time to be happy, because behind the giant fireball was a sea of ​​fire!

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

The existence of the Flame-Flame Fruit not only greatly increased the power of King Uchiha's Fire Release ninjutsu, but also made it possible to perform most Fire Release ninjutsu without needing to form hand seals!

As long as he has enough chakra and stamina, Uchiha Jin is a machine gun of ninjutsu!

"Such powerful Fire Release... Water Release: Water Wall!"

Hanzo the Salamander was astonished by the power of Uchiha Jin's Fire Release ninjutsu!

With just two Fire Release ninjutsu, Hanzo of the Salamander felt the surrounding air become much drier!

Uchiha Jin's mastery of fire-style chakra nature transformation has reached an extremely high level! His proficiency in fire-style chakra is even significantly higher than his proficiency in water-style chakra!

So much so that even though Water Release is the counter to Fire Release, Hanzo of the Salamander had to use Water Release of the same level to counteract King Uchiha's Fire Release!

Moreover, Hanzo of the Salamander had already noticed that Uchiha Jin did not form hand seals when he used those two fire release techniques!

Although it's unclear how Uchiha Jin managed to do it, it would be terrible if he didn't need to form hand seals when performing other ninjutsu!

Faced with such an opponent, you absolutely cannot engage in a ninjutsu duel!

A massive wall of water rose around Hanzo the Salamander, colliding with the surging sea of ​​fire!

A large amount of water vapor rose up, and the surrounding area was quickly shrouded in a mist!

"Iai Slash!"

While the presence of moisture might obstruct vision, for Hanzo of the Salamander, the restriction imposed on Uchiha Jin, who possesses the Sharingan, was even greater!

Moreover, as a qualified ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander was actually more accustomed to operating in the shadows!

In this environment with limited visibility, it's no different from being in the dark!

With his powerful senses, Hanzo the Salamander instantly appeared in front of King Uchiha and used his signature move!

However, this time Hanzo the Salamander still failed to target King Uchiha's vital points!

With a soft 'crack', the kunai in Uchiha Jin's hand broke in two, and one of his arms was thrown away in the process!

'Looks like I'll need to find a good sword when I get back!'

Uchiha Jin frowned slightly and slammed a fist, burning with flames, into Hanzo of the Salamander's face!

"fire punch!"

Flames exploded, and Hanzo the Salamander's body turned into water and was instantly evaporated!

"This is... a cremation technique?!"

Hanzo of the Salamander appeared not far away, looking at the flames burning at the severed arm of Uchiha Jin with great astonishment!

There are ninjutsu techniques that allow one to transform their body into elements to avoid damage, such as the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure, who are famous for their water transformation technique!

However, over the years, only the Hozuki clan has developed the Water Transformation Technique; elemental transformation of other attributes simply does not exist!

This also shows how precious the elemental transformation technique is!

How could Hanzo the Salamander not be surprised when he saw another elemental transformation technique?

"More or less!" Uchiha Jin's severed arm reassembled, and he calmly looked at Hanzo of the Salamander and said, "Hanzo-senpai, do you still want to continue?"

Uchiha Jin did not come to Amegakure to be an enemy of Hanzo the Salamander!

The reason he fought Hanzo the Salamander was to demonstrate his strength and gain a position of equal dialogue!

If you don't have the ability, let alone listen to what you have to say, no one will even give you a second glance!

The strong are respected. This applies to relationships between individuals, as well as between nations. This is just how the world is!

Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of the Land of Rain who has been struggling to survive in the gaps between the three kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind for many years, should understand this very well!

"What, you think you're on equal footing with me after just a couple of moves?" Hanzo of the Salamander sneered. "Judging by your skill in Fire Release ninjutsu, you must be the Red Sun Uchiha Jin who has recently risen to fame in the ninja world, right?"

"Your Konoha's new generation of rising stars is truly remarkable, but in terms of experience, you are still far behind!"

"Don't forget, my forte, Hanzo the Salamander, has never been ninjutsu, but poison!"

Although Hanzo of the Salamander possessed extremely powerful taijutsu and ninjutsu, what gave him the confidence to declare war on the three great nations of fire, earth, and wind simultaneously during the Second Shinobi World War was his mastery of poison!

The poison of Hanzo the Salamander caused great suffering to the three great nations of Fire, Earth, and Wind!

If it weren't for Chiyo from the Land of Wind and Tsunade from the Land of Fire, Hanzo of the Salamander might have actually been able to solidify the Land of Rain's position during the Second Shinobi World War!

Let the Land of Rain become the sixth largest ninja nation in the world that other countries cannot ignore!

Hanzo the Salamander continued, "From the very beginning, I mixed a complex poison into my Water Release ninjutsu! Your Fire Release then evaporated a large amount of the poisoned water into vapor!"

"This area has been unknowingly filled with my poison for a long time! And you have inhaled these toxins without even realizing it!"

"Judging by the time, the toxins in your body should have already taken effect!"

"Uchiha brat, can you still use chakra?!"

Hanzo the Salamander grew increasingly smug as he spoke, looking at Uchiha Jin as if he were a lamb to the slaughter!

Chapter 19 Hanzo the Salamander's Choice!

Because his goal was to capture Uchiha Jin alive and extract more information, Hanzo of the Salamander did not use any of the deadly toxins; instead, he used a poison that would restrict chakra activity.

This toxin can unknowingly clog the meridians in the body, forming blockages and thus preventing the flow of chakra!

Once chakra is restricted, ninjutsu can no longer be used!

How much of a threat can a ninja who cannot use ninjutsu pose?

Therefore, Hanzo the Salamander felt that he had already won the battle!

"poison?"

Uchiha Jin raised an eyebrow, and in a flash appeared in front of Hanzo the Salamander, throwing a punch at Hanzo!

With a muffled thud, Hanzo the Salamander was sent flying more than ten meters by a single punch from Jin Uchiha, his face showing disbelief!

"Instantaneous movement? How is that possible?!" Hanzo the Salamander exclaimed in shock. "You're not poisoned?"

Uchiha Jin chuckled and said, "Of course not! Senior Hanzo, your existence is renowned throughout the ninja world, and I just suffered a loss because of your poison. How could I not be on guard against it at all!"

Even before he knew that Hanzo's whereabouts had been accidentally exposed due to poison, Uchiha Jin had been secretly on guard against Hanzo's poisonous methods and had transformed his body into an element!

From the moment he entered Hanzo's mansion, Uchiha Jin's body was no longer an ordinary human structure, but a raging fire!
