Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

Yanagishita and Tsunade's eyes met on the battlefield, and in an instant, they reached a tacit strategy without words.

Orochimaru and Tsunade teamed up to launch a fierce close combat attack on Hanzo with their physical skills. Jiraiya stayed behind, using his ninjutsu to carry out precise long-range containment.

And Yanagishita, with his Flying Thunder God Technique, moved around the battlefield with amazing mobility, acting as both a messenger of rescue and a sharp blade of restraint.

However, even Orochimaru's exquisite swordsmanship, Tsunade's amazing strength, and Jiraiya's varied ninjutsu seemed to be powerless in front of Hanzo.

Hanzo easily resolved every attack with his extraordinary swordsmanship and powerful water-style ninjutsu. His Iai Slash was as fast as lightning. If it weren't for Yanagi's timely rescue, they would have been seriously injured.

"As expected of the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander. Without using the power of Wood Release, I can only use Flying Thunder God to contain him." Yanagiya could not help but feel a little uncertain when facing such a strong man. Hanzo was not only an expert in swordsmanship, but also had the poison sac of the Salamander, which made them have to be vigilant at all times and not be careless.

Liu Xia glanced at the battlefield and saw that the other three had reached the limit of their physical strength. Their breathing was rapid and their movements were no longer as agile as before. Fortunately, he was only responsible for the containment work and still had some physical strength left.

"If it comes to that, I can only use Wood Release..."

Liuxia pondered secretly in his heart, but then a deep hesitation came over him.

The power of Wood Release is like a sleeping dragon. Once awakened, its destructive power and influence are immeasurable. Using it means facing unpredictable consequences or even self-sacrifice.

"Uchiha Madara, the man who can manipulate the entire ninja army with his own strength."

Yanagishita couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he thought of the man who was like a god or a demon. Even if Hashirama Senju was in his prime, he might not be able to win against Madara who had the Rinnegan. And he himself had not yet mastered the immortal arts, let alone reached the strength of Hashirama Senju. He probably didn't even have the qualifications to make Uchiha Madara use his full strength.

But Yanagishta thought of Tsunade, Kushina and the others. If it really came to that, he would never regret it even if he was exposed.

"Konoha is indeed the cradle of geniuses!" Hanzo stood in front of them, holding a weapon in his hand. There was a hint of admiration in his voice, but then it turned cold. "But a genius who cannot grow up can only be strangled in the cradle!"

Hanzo was ready to end this battle, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes. This was not the Rain Village, but near the Konoha camp, and time was not on his side.

"Master Hanzo, the team that was trying to stop Hatake Sakumo has been wiped out. Hatake Sakumo is leading a large army of ninjas to surround us! If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

A man wearing a Rain Ninja forehead protector appeared on the battlefield panting, his face full of urgency.

"Huh, looks like you're lucky today, juniors."

There was a hint of disdain in Hanzo's voice, but at the same time there was also a hint of helplessness. He could face the army alone, but the Rain Ninjas who followed him were the precious fighting force of the Rain Ninja Village and could not be easily lost.

"Shen Da, order the others to take the injured companions, and we will retreat!"

Following Hanzo's order, the Rain Ninjas acted quickly and began to retreat in an orderly manner with their companions and the wounded.

“Don’t even think about leaving!”

Jiraiya, who was already exhausted, still wanted to continue chasing, but his body had reached its limit and every step seemed extremely difficult.

"That's enough, Jiraiya. We have done our best. Leave the rest to Hatake Sakumo-senpai."

Orochimaru used his last bit of strength to support the staggering Jiraiya. His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but more of calmness and rationality.

"Sister Tsunade, Brother Jiraiya and Brother Orochimaru, you guys rest here first. I'll go see if I can help Captain Hatake Sakumo." Yanagishita quickly handed some military pills to several people, his eyes flashing with firmness and determination.

With a flash of blue light, Liu Xia's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a slight fluctuation in the air.

"Be careful, Xiaoxia." Tsunade looked at the place where Yanagishita disappeared, her heart full of worry. There was a hint of trembling in her voice, but at the same time there was trust and expectation for Yanagishita.

-

"Surround these damn Rain Ninjas!"

“Don’t let anyone escape!”

"Capture the Salamander Hanzo alive!"

The slogans of the Konoha Ninja Army echoed over the battlefield like thunder. They came from all directions and formed an impenetrable encirclement of the Rain Ninja Army.

When Hanzo Salamander heard the slogans from the other side, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. He almost turned back desperately and destroyed all the Konoha ninjas who dared to insult him.

But at this moment, his right hand, Shen Da, persuaded him in time, "Master Hanzo, you have to put the overall situation first! Today's losses are already heavy, we need to retain our manpower!"

Hanzo took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that Shen Da was right. He sprayed a thick poisonous fog at the Konoha army, blocking the sight and pace of the pursuers, and then continued to move forward, clearing a bloody path for the Rain Ninja Army.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo stood at the other end of the battlefield, his eyes fixed on the approaching Hanzo.

Although he was worried about the safety of Tsunade, Yanagishita and the others, and didn't know what their situation was, but facing the powerful enemy before him, he knew that he had to concentrate on resolving the battle first.

Salamander Hanzo's steps were firm and swift, his figure moving across the battlefield like an unstoppable storm.

Although the Konoha ninjas were brave, they were powerless in front of the poison gas he released. Before they could get close, the deadly poison mist had already killed them one by one.

Hatake Sakumo stood in the center of the battlefield, holding the famous sword "White Fang" tightly on his back, wearing a special gas mask on his face, ready to face the upcoming powerful enemy.

When Hanzo of the Salamander got close enough, Sakumo moved. His movements were as fast as lightning, and a dazzling white light cut through the air - it was Hatake Sakumo's sword slash.

This slash condensed all of Sakumo's will and strength, but Hanzo of the Salamander was worthy of being a legendary ninja. He blocked the attack with amazing reaction speed.

However, when Sakumo's blade collided with Hanzo's weapon, Hanzo's palm trembled slightly, revealing that even for him, it was not easy to take on Hatake Sakumo's attack.

Hanzo's eyes flashed with surprise, and he obviously didn't expect Sakumo's attack to be so sharp. Sakumo became more alert, knowing that the opponent in front of him should not be underestimated, and any slackness could lead to fatal mistakes.

On the battlefield, the figures of Hatake Sakumo and Salamander Hanzo are intertwined, and every confrontation between them is full of danger and subtlety.

Sakumo's swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water and every time he swung his sword there was a sound of breaking through the air. White Fang seemed to have life in his hands, dancing with silver-white light, trying to find Hanzo's flaws.

Hanzo responded with his deep combat experience and extraordinary swordsmanship. Every block and counterattack he made was accurate. His extraordinary perception allowed him to remain calm and composed under Sakumo's attack.

The sword lights and knife shadows of the two men intertwined on the battlefield, like two dragons fighting in the air, and dazzling sparks burst out with every contact.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

Under the torrential rain and gale-like attack of Hatake Sakumo, Salamander Hanzo remained sober and calm.

Although the several young Konoha warriors over there had experienced a fierce battle, they had not suffered fatal injuries, especially the insidious kid who possessed space ninjutsu. If the battle dragged on, even he would find it difficult.

While Hanzo was thinking about how to escape, Yanagishita had already silently arrived at the battlefield using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

His figure was like a flash of blue lightning, instantly passing through the chaos of the battlefield and appearing on Hanzo's flank.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Yanagishita launched his surprise attack. He used the Flying Thunder God Kunai that was left on Hatake Sakumo as a positioning, and launched a fatal attack on Hanzo with lightning speed.

"clang!"

The sound of metal colliding rang out on the battlefield, like morning bells and evening drums, shaking everyone's eardrums.

Hanzo blocked the attack with amazing reaction speed, but a hint of solemnity also appeared in his eyes.

"Tsk, you are worthy of being a demigod, you can even defend against this."

Liu Xia sighed inwardly, and his figure turned into a phantom again, quickly escaping from Hanzo's counterattack range. He was like an assassin in the shadows, coming and going without a trace, but facing Hanzo's powerful strength, even he felt a little frightened.

Yanagishita couldn't help but think that if even a strong man like Hanzo was killed by Nagato, then how terrifying the power of the Rinnegan would be.

Sakumo stood aside and witnessed the lightning-fast confrontation between Yanagishita and Hanzo, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The strength shown by Hanzo undoubtedly proves why he is known as a "demigod". His strength is indeed above Sakumo. However, the fire in Sakumo's heart has not been extinguished. As long as it is a goal he has set, no matter how difficult it is, he will never give up easily.

Just as Sakumo was about to join the battle and go all out, Yanagishita's voice suddenly penetrated the noise of the battle and reached his ears: "Captain, Tsunade-sister and the others are fine, don't worry."

Sakumo nodded without saying anything, but his eyes were full of gratitude and determination. He knew that he was not fighting alone, and he had the support of his companions behind him, which made him more determined in his belief.

Shuo Mao clenched his white fangs, took a deep breath, and rushed to the battlefield again. This time, his steps were more determined and his swordsmanship was more sharp.

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The voice of Hanzo of the Salamander echoed on the battlefield, and the seals in his hands were formed quickly, and at the same time, a torrent of water gushed out of his mouth. The water flowed into a river, majestic and magnificent, just like a waterfall in nature.

Water poured out from Hanzo's mouth, forming a wide and powerful water curtain, which spread in all directions with the force of thunder and a deafening roar.

The water splashes and the waves surge as if they can swallow everything. Its scale and power are so strong that people can't help but think of a real waterfall, the natural force rushing down from the top of a mountain.

Facing the "Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique" performed by the Salamander Hanzo, it was like a real waterfall falling from the sky. The surging force was enough to destroy all obstacles.

Liu Xia's figure flashed past the edge of the water curtain, and he used the teleportation ability of the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly evacuate to a safe area.

With his rich combat experience, Hatake Sakumo quickly determined the best evasive route. At the moment of the water's impact, he shuttled along the edge of the waterfall with amazing speed and agility, and finally landed steadily on the high ground in the distance.

Hanzo had already quickly retreated with his men. The ninja's movement speed was so fast, like a ghost in the night, disappearing in a flash.

"He still escaped. The power of a demigod should not be underestimated." Hatake Sakumo looked at Hanzo's receding back. Although he sighed in his heart, he still smiled at the other ninjas. He announced loudly, "Everyone! This battle is a victory for us Konoha!"
