Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

Salamander Hanzo slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing his eyes that were as sharp as a knife despite the baptism of time.

His eyes revealed an unprecedented determination - this time, he was ready to go all out.

The casualties in Rain Village are shocking, and he will pay the final tribute to these sacrificed souls. The ninja world needs balance, and he is the executor of that balance.

He was trained as a weapon of biological warfare since childhood, and his body was implanted with poison sacs of salamander.

As the years passed, the poison had become one with his life, and every breath he took carried deadly poison. This was his curse, but it was also the source of his strength and the cornerstone of his ideals.

Even a top ninja like the puppet old woman had been defeated by him. Now, the three young masters of Konoha in front of him were just another step for him to move towards his ideal.

The successive victories filled Hanzo's heart with pride, and his confidence burned like a raging fire.

In his eyes, even the Five Kage were just another stepping stone on his way forward. He dared to challenge and conquer, because he knew that his power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Come on, young warriors of Konoha, let me see your strength, and let me fulfill my dream!"

Salamander Hanzo's voice echoed across the battlefield, like the announcement of the god of death, foreshadowing the coming of a new storm.

The chain in his hand seemed to have life under the control of Hanzo of the Salamander. It whirred in the air and smashed towards Jiraiya like an angry snake with lightning speed.

“Ding ding dong!”

A burst of dense weapons clashing sounded on the battlefield, accompanied by sparks flying. Jiraiya's kunai danced like a phantom, perfectly blocking the chain's attack with amazing speed and accuracy.

Just as Jiraiya was preparing to counterattack and looking for a flaw in Hanzo's attack, Hanzo of the Salamander suddenly changed his tactics. The chains wrapped around Jiraiya's body as flexibly as a snake, restraining his movements.

Hanzo suddenly pulled with both hands, and Jiraiya was caught off guard and was pulled over by this powerful force.

This move is none other than Hanzo's unique skill - swordsmanship: chain sickle double strike.

It is not just a simple attack, but a combination of the precision of swordsmanship and the flexibility of chains, forming an almost unpredictable double blow. Salamander Hanzo uses this move to perfection, and every move is full of deadly threats.

"Oops!"

Jiraiya's heart sank, his eyes fixed on the sickle in Hanzo's hand. The ominous light flashing on the blade indicated the deadly poison. The intelligence was wrong. He originally thought that Hanzo would only use chains to wrap around the opponent's weapon, but he didn't expect that he would become a prisoner under the chains!

From the corner of his eye, he saw Orochimaru and Tsunade rushing towards him desperately, but their movements were hindered by the poisonous mist sprayed by the Salamander. The purple death mist spread across the battlefield like an insurmountable barrier, making their rescue seem out of reach.

"Now we can solve the first one!"

The voice of Hanzo revealed coldness and determination. In his heart, he had already regarded Jiraiya as a sure thing. In his opinion, no ninja could survive his fatal move.

Jiraiya felt unprecedented despair. His body was tightly bound by chains and he couldn't even complete the most basic ninjutsu hand seals.

At this critical moment, he had only one thought in his mind: if he could survive this battle, he must invent a ninjutsu method that did not require hand seals!

Facing Hanzo's scythe that was already raised high and flashing with cold light, Jiraiya slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, there were scenes of the past, including laughter, tears, fighting, and pursuit. He felt a little regretful that he had not found the prophesied child who could bring peace to the ninja world.

"clang!"

At this moment, a deafening sound of metal collision exploded in Jiraiya's ears. He did not wait to feel the sickle hitting his body, nor did he feel the pain of blood spurting out, but this sudden loud noise.

Jiraiya's heart trembled, he opened his eyes, and saw a figure blocking in front of him. With amazing speed and strength, he used the weapon in his hand to block Hanzo's fatal blow.

At this moment, Jiraiya's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He was grateful to the savior who suddenly appeared, but at the same time he felt a little ashamed - he actually closed his eyes and gave up resistance at the critical moment.

"Little boy, you are quite strong!"

Salamander Hanzo's eyes were fixed on the young ninja in front of him holding a red sword, and there was a hint of surprise and admiration that was hard to conceal in his voice.

Looking at this child, Hanzo felt a complex emotion in his heart: the genius that Rain Village longed for seemed to be emerging in an endless stream in Konoha Village.

He was already impressed by the strength of the three ninjas just now, and now, this obviously younger ninja was able to block his heavy blow by himself in a hurry.

"What's more important is his speed. Even I couldn't react at all. Is it a space-time ninjutsu?!"

Hanzo was shocked. He couldn't believe that he lost to a young ninja in terms of speed. He fixed his eyes on Yanagi, trying to find any possible flaws.

"Uncle, your power is too weak!"

Yanagishita's voice was a little provocative, he did not intend to have a protracted battle with Hanzo. He knew that he was not as strong as Hanzo who was in his prime, so he had to fight quickly.

While he was talking, Liuxia had already performed his secret technique. Countless tiny water needles suddenly spit out from his mouth, as dense as a rainstorm, covering every possible direction for Hanzo to dodge.

Hanzo looked at the cunning kid in front of him and cursed in his heart, but he had to get away and dodge in time. He swung his weapon tightly and blocked the water needles from Liuxia's Water Style: Sky Cry one by one.

"What a sinister little devil! But when did you seal it?"

Hanzo's heart was filled with doubts, he did not even notice Yanagi's seal-making movements. This made him more alert, knowing that he was facing an opponent that should not be underestimated.

But Jiraiya had no time to hesitate, he knew that he had just escaped from the brink of death and had to be more cautious. He would not easily engage in close combat with Hanzo, but chose a more reliable long-range attack.

"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"

As Jiraiya roared, a flame mixed with chakra oil gushed out of his mouth. This flame was different from ordinary fire, its color was deep, like burning lava, with a high temperature that could melt almost everything.

The flames drew an arc in the air and attacked Hanzo's landing place fiercely, as if to reduce everything there to ashes.

Faced with this sudden fire attack, Hanzo of the Salamander reacted quickly. He quickly formed seals with his hands, gathered chakra behind his throat, and spit out an oversized water ball from his mouth.

The shape of this water ball was like a falling meteorite, with a strong impact and destructive power. When it hit the ground, the water ball instantly spread in all directions, forming a spectacular water formation that completely shattered Jiraiya's flames.

With a burst of hurried footsteps, a figure accompanied by water vapor approached rapidly, and Hanzo, holding a sickle, swung a fatal blow with lightning speed.

The knife was as fast as lightning, but Jiraiya was always alert. With his ninja instinct and experience, he used the substitution technique in time to avoid the fatal blow. Although he was out of breath and looked a little tired, he finally escaped the disaster.

At the same time, Tsunade and Orochimaru finally gained the upper hand after a fierce battle and almost forced Hanzo's summoning beast into a desperate situation.

These two Konoha strongmen, with their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation, showed overwhelming advantages. However, fighting always comes with risks, and their summoned beasts were unfortunately attacked by poisonous fog in this melee.

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness and determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that as ninjas, fighting was their mission, but as the companions of summoned beasts, protecting their lives and safety was their responsibility. So both of them chose to cancel the summoning.

"Go back, Jingfu, you've done a good job, leave the rest to me."

A single summoned beast might have an advantage against other ninjas, but facing strong ones like Orochimaru and Tsunade, it would be powerless.
