Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"Is this the power of the First Hokage?!"

Orochimaru practically muttered, his eyes wide at the unbelievable scene before him.

As the third Hokage's favorite student, he is well versed in the first Hokage's legendary Wood Release Ninjutsu.

In the past, he always thought that those stories about the first Hokage being able to easily subdue the Nine-Tails and pacify the Ninja World were too exaggerated, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he knew that those legends and information were not false at all!

Facing this power that could almost change the world, Orochimaru felt an unprecedented shock. A strong sense of awe surged in his heart, and at the same time, there was a desire to master such power and explore the mysteries of ninjutsu more deeply.

Orochimaru only needs to consider the shock of Wood Release, but Hanzo of the Salamander has to consider much more when facing Wood Release.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the wooden dragon's huge body slammed into the ground again, with such force that even the sky seemed to be shaking. Everything around was razed to the ground in an instant, leaving only a mess.

"Damn, is this brat's chakra infinite?"

Hanzo cursed in his heart. He found it unbelievable that Yanagishita had continuously performed such powerful ninjutsu without any signs of chakra consumption.

Under such an attack, even the demigod Hanzo could only continue to flee in a panic. In front of such power, he was as small as an ant!

"We have no choice but to give it a try! I don't believe that everyone in Konoha has an antidote for the Salamander poison!"

Hanzo made up his mind and decided to give it a try. He knew that although Konoha had developed an antidote to the poison of the salamander, it would not be easy to mass produce it.

As long as he could seize the opportunity to get close, he might be able to hurt Liu Xia with his swordsmanship and combat experience. However, his sickle was coated with poison, although he always had the urge to lick it.

He took a deep breath, bit his finger, quickly formed seals with both hands, and performed "Ninja Technique. Summoning Technique!"

As Hanzo's palm fell, a low roar suddenly sounded in the air, and then a huge salamander broke out of the ground. Its body was huge, and its scales flashed coldly in the sun. It was Hanzo's summoned beast - Jingfu.

"Ifu, please, rush over!"

Hanzo shouted loudly to Ibuki who was sitting under him. As his loyal partner, Ibuki had already been in telepathic communication with Hanzo and could feel Hanzo's determination and fighting spirit.

Ibuki let out a deafening roar, and in response, its huge body began to move, and every step made the ground tremble. Its target was clear, pointing directly at Yanagishita, ready to use its powerful force to break through Yanagishita's wood escape ninjutsu.

"Preparing for a desperate fight? You really don't know your own limitations!"

Liuxia stood on the wooden dragon and watched coldly as Hanzo of the Salamander gave up on escaping and instead summoned a summoned beast, trying to launch a final attack on him.

The surrounding trees were like tentacles controlling death, ready to deal a fatal blow to Hanzo.

With crackling sounds, countless vines rushed towards Hanzo and Salamander Ibushi like dancing whips, with the sound of breaking through the air, as if to wrap them tightly and leave no chance of survival.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Hanzo stood on top of the Salamander, facing the impending strangulation of the vines. He reacted very quickly, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A huge fire dragon spewed out of his mouth, and the fire dragon rushed straight towards the vines with blazing heat and destructive power. In front of the trees, fire escape is undoubtedly the best weapon.

However, at this moment, Hanzo noticed that something seemed to have changed in Yanagishita on the opposite side.

Although he couldn't tell exactly what had changed, Warrior Zhan's instinct told him that the young man in front of him exuded an unusual aura, a dangerous aura, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time!

As Hanzo and Sanshoyu Ibushi approached quickly, the wooden dragon's roar was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, shaking the entire battlefield. The sound was like thunder, making people tremble with fear. Its huge body seemed to have transformed into an angry god, emitting a heart-pounding pressure, and then it launched an extremely fierce attack on Hanzo.

Hanzo was naturally unwilling to be outdone by this surging force. He used all his skills to bring his fire ninjutsu to its fullest. Hanzo's Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, like a series of fire dragons, swept towards the wood dragon with high temperatures that burned everything.

However, the wood dragon's body was as hard as iron, and the Great Dragon Fire Technique, which could easily burn a forest, could only leave a fleeting black mark on the surface of the wood dragon when Hanzo used all his strength.

Under the powerful vitality of the wood dragon, those traces were covered by new life in the blink of an eye, as if even fire could not leave a permanent mark on it.

The huge figure of the wooden dragon quickly enlarged in front of Hanzo's eyes, and its open mouth and sharp claws seemed to swallow everything.

Hanzo's heart was beating hard in his chest, and he knew that this was the moment that would decide the outcome.

"I'm sorry, Ibushi!"

Hanzo whispered to the salamander beneath him, with a hint of apology and reluctance in his voice.

As his loyal partner, Ibushi has always fought alongside him, but facing such a powerful enemy, Hanzo knows that he must make a choice.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the wooden dragon's full-strength attack landed on the originally flat forest floor.

The force of this blow was so great that it created a huge hole in the ground, as if even the earth was shaking under this blow.

At the bottom of the pit, the ground was broken by the power of the wood dragon, and water began to flow, as if the blood of the earth was flowing. The water quickly gathered and formed a small lake, with the remains of trees destroyed by the wood dragon's attack floating on the surface.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack? What a despicable ninja! Someone who abandons his psychic partner to save his life is not worthy of being called a demigod!"

Liuxia stood on the battlefield. Although the surrounding environment became chaotic due to the attack of the wooden dragon, he did not relax his vigilance. His eyes were like torches, as if he could see through all hidden movements. He spoke in a light mocking tone, with obvious disdain and provocation in his voice.

The figure of the Salamander Hanzo gradually appeared in the air behind Liuxia, as silent as a ghost. His sickle was ready for the Iai attack, and the whole movement was smooth and deadly.

"The winner can rewrite everything!"

Hanzo's voice was cold and firm. As he shouted, the sickle cut through the air, making a sharp whistle. His sword technique, Iai Slash, was aimed directly at Yanagi's vital point with determination and power.

"Success!"

Salamander Hanzo gripped the knife tightly in his hand. The clear feedback made him sure that he had hit a solid object.

However, before he could feel joy in his heart, the scene before him froze his smile - the severed willow tree had turned into a wooden man!

Hanzo's pupils suddenly contracted, and he realized that he might have fallen into Yanagi's trap.

At this moment, the sound of wind in my ears became sharp and piercing, like the scythe of the god of death whistling in my ears, and there seemed to be a hint of blood in the wind.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from behind, and Hanzo instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The blooming blood flowers blossomed on Hanzo's body, and he felt a sharp pain. It was Yanagi's counterattack, which hit his vitals accurately.

"You underestimate me, Hanzo."

Yanagi's voice sounded behind Hanzo, calm and indifferent. His figure appeared from the side, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

It turned out that while Hanzo was attacking with all his strength, Yanagishita had already used the substitution technique to replace his real body with the wooden man, and at the same time quietly went behind Hanzo.

"You...your eyes! How could it be possible..."

Salamander Hanzo's voice was trembling. He looked at the boy in front of him and finally understood what the incongruity was. He had such power at the same time! His death was not unjust!

Hanzo's heart was filled with reluctance and regret. He had thought that he could control everything and realize his dream. However, facing the young man in front of him and the amazing power he showed, Hanzo felt a sense of powerlessness he had never felt before.

But even he, who was called a demigod, could not refuse the call of the god of death. At the end of this battle, with his dream unattainable, Hanzo closed his eyes.

"Eye!?"

When Yanagishita heard Hanzo's last words before his death, he felt an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

He immediately cancelled the Wood Dragon Technique and stood on the lake created by the recent battle. His reflection was reflected in the shimmering water.

Liu Xia stared at the reflection on the lake, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "What is this...?!"
