Hanzo cherished geniuses, but unfortunately, these people were not from the Land of Rain, they were from Konoha.
If they were allowed to stay, they would eventually become a grave threat. He could defeat them now, but it was hard to guarantee that in a few years, he wouldn't be suppressed by them in return. By then, the Land of Rain would be beyond saving.
Thinking of this, Hanzo raised the scythe in his hand. In the upcoming battle, he would spare no effort.
"Heh, the Sannin? What right do you have to bestow titles upon us? You should defeat my disciple first."
Faced with Hanzo's arrogant behavior, Tsunade was so angered she laughed. It wasn't just her, even Jiraiya was ready to fight Hanzo to the death, and even Orochimaru, with his usually calm demeanor, was visibly upset.
After Tsunade finished speaking, she bit her right thumb, quickly formed hand signs, and slammed her hand on the ground. After the white smoke cleared, Kazuki, with a small Katsuyu on his shoulder, appeared not far from Tsunade.
"A brat?"
Hanzo was also angered to the point of laughter. He was Hanzo the Demigod, yet Tsunade's tone suggested he wasn't this kid's match. From the looks of it, the opponent was definitely no older than thirteen or fourteen. Was this a suicide mission?
Could it be that the other party, at such a young age, had already reached Kage level?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even Hashirama couldn't achieve this step back then.
Moreover, as someone who had never met Hashirama, Hanzo didn't believe he was much worse than Hashirama.
If Hashirama was really that powerful, why didn't he unify all the countries?
God of Shinobi? He was just a hypocrite who had been hyped up, that's all.
Hanzo now had absolute confidence in himself.
"Is the target Hanzo this time?" A look of excitement appeared on Kazuki's face.
His gaze met Tsunade's for a moment, and Tsunade, understanding instinctively, threw a vial of medicine to Kazuki.
"It can guarantee you won't be poisoned for ten minutes."
"Ten minutes? That's enough. Leave this to me. You all go support elsewhere."
Kazuki injected the antidote into his shoulder, then looked at Hanzo not far away.
"So, do you also wish to dance, you ant?!"
"Don't you need help?"
Jiraiya asked, feeling the almost solidified killing intent emanating from Hanzo.
He could feel that Kazuki had entered Sage Mode, but was Kazuki in Sage Mode truly a match for Hanzo?
If the four of them could deal with Hanzo, it would be a devastating blow to the Land of Rain, practically annihilating it.
By then, they wouldn't need to worry about the Land of Rain and could focus on Sunagakure.
But Kazuki's words were a bit too arrogant.
"Kid, you're good!"
The scythe in Hanzo's hand rushed towards Kazuki.
Kazuki drew the Sword of the Thunder God from his back, flashed a golden light, and blocked the scythe's attack.
The moment the Sword of the Thunder God collided with the scythe, the scythe, pulled by the chain at its handle, swept towards Kazuki's neck at an extremely tricky angle.
However, the Sword of the Thunder God in Kazuki's hand produced several slashes, skillfully blocking Hanzo's attack.
Watching Kazuki handle it with ease, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya not far away and said, "Jiraiya, let's go provide support. Tsunade, you stay here and provide backup."
Orochimaru had already discerned that Kazuki's strength should be no less than Hanzo's, but Kazuki was still a child and rarely undertook missions outside, so his combat experience wasn't extensive. He might be tricked by Hanzo, so having Tsunade provide backup was crucial.
Moreover, Tsunade was a medical Ninja, and if the antidote failed, Tsunade could help immediately.
"Alright!"
Jiraiya saw Kazuki and Hanzo's battle. In an instant, they had exchanged over a dozen blows. He knew that Kazuki's strength had once again greatly improved, so he followed Orochimaru and left.
Their other comrades needed their help.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
Kazuki and Hanzo's figures constantly flickered, and the clashing of their weapons was incessant.
As time passed, Hanzo became increasingly alarmed. The opponent's taijutsu and Body Flicker Technique were in no way inferior to his own.
How was this possible? This was just a child!
Hanzo was confident in his sword skills and even more confident in his Body Flicker Technique. After all, his initial nickname was Body Flicker Hanzo.
Yet, this young man was not inferior to him in Body Flicker Technique.
How did he train?
No, he must be kept here.
"To be honest, I'm very disappointed. Someone told me you were strong, but your strength has disappointed me."
"Hanzo, do you know? To step over an ant without crushing it, the force is very difficult to control."
The Chakra enhanced strength in Kazuki's hand instantly erupted. This sudden action sent Hanzo flying.
Hanzo's legs continuously retreated on the ground. Hearing Kazuki's words, he became even more furious.
Ant? This was the first time he had been called that.
This brat was very strong, but he had no respect for his elders.
Was Konoha's education that poor?
However, thinking of the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan in the opponent's eyes, he realized that it was an Uchiha. It seemed reasonable for an Uchiha to say such arrogant words.
Reasonable my ass!
Hanzo, at this moment, truly wanted to kill Kazuki.
When had he ever been so humiliated?
Without thinking, he went all out, launching a further attack on Kazuki.
Tsunade watched Kazuki and Hanzo's battle, her eyes flashing.
Indeed, Kazuki's strength did not disappoint her. Having mastered Sage Mode, he was gradually gaining the upper hand.
However, during the battle, he kept spouting provocative remarks.
Who did he learn these from?
These words made Tsunade clench her fists.
Although she knew Kazuki was using words to provoke Hanzo and make his fighting erratic, Hanzo had been suppressing them earlier.
If Hanzo was an ant, what were the three of them?
Even worse than ants?
However, Kazuki, this brat, was getting stronger and stronger.
He hadn't even used the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, and Hanzo was already starting to be suppressed.
When the scythe and the Sword of the Thunder God collided once again, the Sword of the Thunder God in Kazuki's hand emitted a dense electric light.
Sage Art: Chidori Current!
This sudden electric current caught Hanzo somewhat off guard.
One-handed hand signs?
Hanzo almost swore out loud.
