At this very moment, completely unaware that Ning Feng had already built a solid relationship with Konan, Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, and the others—disguised as ordinary Rain Village civilians—were frantically gathering intelligence on every aspect of the Hidden Rain Village.
Suddenly, as countless Rain Village players began surging toward Akatsuki's headquarters, Kakashi and Itachi were unknowingly drawn closer to the area as well.
Just as the two of them were preparing to quietly watch the show unfold—
In their horrified gazes, a figure appeared behind Hanzō the Salamander without the slightest warning.
The speed was so terrifying that even Uchiha Itachi, with his fully awakened three-tomoe Sharingan, found it difficult to lock onto for an instant.
A moment later, the two of them couldn't help but cry out in shock:
"F-Flying Thunder God!?"
"Someone actually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?!"
After all, among techniques capable of instantaneous movement at such terrifying speed, there were very few—aside from the Flying Thunder God.
Although the Body Flicker Technique, one of the advanced Three Body Techniques, could also achieve high-speed movement over short distances, compared to Flying Thunder God, it was practically heaven and earth.
Even in the talent-rich Konoha, only the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had ever truly mastered it!
And in their stunned gazes—
A piercing, shrill screech erupted from the palm of that figure.
It was Chidori, a technique with terrifying penetrative power!
In that instant, not only Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi were shocked—every ninja around Hanzō the Salamander was equally horrified.
Who could have imagined that the legendary Demi-god of the Shinobi World, a figure long since famous, would be attacked so suddenly—and from such an unimaginable angle!?
Even Hanzō himself only sensed the existence of Chidori when it was already mere inches from his body!
Unfortunately for him, although Hanzō had once been a quasi-Super Kage-level expert in his youth, at this moment all of his attention was focused on Yahiko and the Akatsuki members.
After all, Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, a power capable of bringing unimaginable destruction.
Who would have thought that someone would seize this moment to launch a sneak attack—directly at him!?
Under the razor-sharp Chidori, Hanzō's armor was instantly shattered, and the lightning pierced straight through his back.
In the next moment, the man hailed as the Demi-god of the Shinobi World was gravely injured—his HP bar instantly stripped down to a sliver!
"As expected of Chidori."
The attacker was none other than Ning Feng.
In the Naruto world, even Kage-level experts could be killed by a simple kunai if they were completely unguarded.
What Ning Feng had been waiting for was precisely this moment—when Hanzō's attention was not on him.
After all, Ning Feng had only just obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique, and that information had not leaked out in the slightest.
This was the perfect opportunity to let Flying Thunder God make its debut.
And things unfolded exactly as Ning Feng had anticipated.
Even the so-called Demi-god, Hanzō, had lost a life in an instant—left barely clinging to breath.
Only then did the surrounding Rain ninja finally react, charging straight at Ning Feng.
But unfortunately for them, the kunai Ning Feng had scattered earlier were already engraved with Flying Thunder God markings.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
In an instant, countless Fūma shuriken, kunai, and other deadly weapons filled the air around Ning Feng—any one of them could have easily taken his life.
Yet with the terrifying perceptive power of his two-tomoe Sharingan, combined with Flying Thunder God, Ning Feng vanished in the next instant—
—and reappeared, stepping precisely onto a kunai flying toward Hanzō.
At this moment, Hanzō—already heavily wounded—was about to form hand seals and escape with the Body Flicker Technique.
But Ning Feng would not give him that chance.
Under Hanzō's slightly horrified gaze, Ning Feng's hand seals flew at blistering speed.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
An enormous fireball instantly illuminated the gloomy sky like broad daylight.
Blazing, scorching flames engulfed Hanzō the Salamander completely, swallowing him in an instant.
Amid the shrill screams—
The man who had dominated the entirety of the Second Shinobi World War, who had even dared to declare war on three great nations—
The so-called Demi-god of the Shinobi World—
Was just like that… casually slain by Ning Feng.
Yes—casually slain.
By all rights, with Ning Feng's original strength, it should have been impossible for him to kill Hanzō.
But he had found the perfect moment.
A flawless opening.
And with a single decisive strike, he ended everything.
In the next instant, Hanzō the Salamander exploded into brilliant golden light.
Materials, gold coins, and equipment scattered everywhere—
A vast, overwhelming spread of loot covering the ground.
Taking advantage of the Great Fireball forcing back many Rain ninja, Ning Feng immediately activated the one-click loot function.
In an instant, massive amounts of equipment, materials, and gold coins flew straight into his inventory.
"Congratulations! You obtained [Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation]!"
"Congratulations! You obtained [Salamander: Poison Mist Spray]!"
"Congratulations! You obtained [Water Release: Water Encampment Wall]!"
...
"Congratulations! You obtained [Hanzō's Hide]!"
"Congratulations! You obtained [Sword Technique: Iai Slash]!"
...
Without time to examine the rewards, Ning Feng slammed his palm into the ground as he rapidly retreated.
"Summoning Technique!"
The next moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the battlefield.
From above, a massive figure descended from the sky—
A gigantic armored ape more than twenty meters tall, wielding a long staff.
The moment the Ape King appeared, he swung his staff in a wide arc, instantly sweeping away large numbers of Rain ninja who had been trying to kill Ning Feng.
Many long-range weapons—kunai, shuriken, and the like—were completely knocked aside.
"Ape King Enma?"
Seeing this towering figure, Ning Feng was first stunned—then overjoyed.
He hadn't expected that on his very first summon, he would call forth the strongest summon currently available to him: the Armored Ape, Enma!
This was a summon capable of using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, possessing extremely formidable combat power.
Although it couldn't compare to Sarutobi Hiruzen's Enma, it was still incredibly strong.
However, Ning Feng also clearly sensed that after consecutively using Flying Thunder God, Chidori, and the Great Fireball Jutsu, his chakra reserves were dangerously low—
Barely one-sixth remained.
In other words, if this combo hadn't taken Hanzō down, the one being carried away would have been him.
Even so, Ning Feng was still exhilarated.
Because the sheer richness of the rewards he had gained alone was more than enough to make this risk worthwhile.
