One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

He chased and he fled, and the two moved quickly within the Land of Rain. Fortunately, Kusaji used the Blind Monk's movement skill to move 10 meters away every 10 seconds, dodging several attacks from Hanzo the Salamander.

After chasing for half an hour, the salamander stopped when it saw the grass leech still very active.

"Having survived under my command for so long, you deserve to have your name known to me!"

Cao Zhi leaned against a big tree, a smile playing on her lips.

"Kusashi, the daimyo and leader of the Grass Country!"

Hanzo the Salamander's chest heaved slightly; he was getting tired of the chase, but upon learning that his opponent was the Kage of a village, he decisively extended an olive branch.

"I think we might be able to work together!"

"What do you mean, old man Hanzo?"

Hanzo, the salamander, had a fiery look in his eyes and his arms were wide open.

"The ninja world has long suffered under the rule of powerful nations. The five great ninja villages have squeezed the survival resources of smaller countries to the point where even self-sufficiency is no longer guaranteed!!!"

"Since you possess such formidable strength, you should unite with the Land of Rain and launch a joint attack on the Great Ninja Village!"

"Let those big countries understand that our small country is not their main battlefield, and that the common people under our rule also have the right to aspire to happiness and freedom!"

Hanzo the Salamander's impassioned speech didn't really move Kusa Shiba. After all, the Land of Grass was developing quite well, and one had to take things one step at a time.

Those who yearn for instant success will only end up like the Land of Rain, whose initially promising development was shattered and broken by powerful nations!

"Old man Hanzo, let's talk about the alliance later. Right now, the Land of Grass just wants to survive peacefully!"

"Hmph, you simply don't understand. A great power will never allow a small country bordering its borders to grow strong. Once you develop to a certain extent, it will intervene!"

Seeing Kusaji's expression of "You can say whatever you want, I know what I'm doing," Hanzo the Salamander's face darkened, and his body suddenly turned into a puddle of water.

"Fine, let me just beat you awake, you stubborn fool!"

Hanzo the Salamander instantly appeared behind Kusashi, displaying his superb swordsmanship. His chained scythe attacked Kusashi from various incredibly tricky angles!

The explosion of the detonating tags, and the aftershocks of the battle where water and fire ninjutsu intertwined, leveled the entire forest within a one-kilometer radius!

After exchanging blows for half a day, Kusashiba used the hero template he obtained from Yahiko, the Tidecaller Samehime Nami's skills, to directly engage in a battle of Water Release ninjutsu with Hanzo of the Salamander!

Although it's a modified and weakened skill, anything produced by the system is bound to be of high quality!

To prevent Hanzo of the Salamander from realizing that he could use his skills without hand seals, Kusanagi would repeatedly perform the hand seals for the Great Fireball Technique every time he made a move.

Hanzo the Salamander was also full of questions, constantly asking them during the fight.

"Your hand seals are clearly for a Fire Release ninjutsu, so why are they for a Water Release ninjutsu?!"

"Also, you clearly made the wrong hand seals several times, so how could you still use ninjutsu smoothly!"

Kusaji, wielding his sword, chopped away the kunai thrown at him, and smiled as he responded to Hanzo the Salamander.

"The real big shots can clap their hands and command whatever they want; I'm still working hard!"

"Damn it, you sharp-tongued brat! Wait till I defeat you, then I'll interrogate you and extract your secrets!"

Suddenly, Hanzo the Salamander slammed his hands on the ground, summoning his spirit from the well.

"Please, Ibuki, stall for time for me!"

He then began to quickly form hand seals. Upon seeing this, Cao Zhi immediately used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to get away from the poisonous fog. He was genuinely afraid of these poisoners!

Just as Caozhi was leaping left and right to dodge the whip of Jingfu's tail, a loud roar was heard.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Barrage Technique!"

Several enormous, dragon-shaped water dragons surged toward the grass with unstoppable momentum.

The salamander was half-hidden and half-squatting on the ground, panting heavily.

"Among small countries, I would call you the strongest besides myself, but that's all!"

Cao Zhi stood still, raindrops dripping from his bangs. His eyes narrowed, and he made a few perfunctory hand seals before opening his arms.

"Hmph, faced with my A-rank ninjutsu, you've given up and surrendered, huh? Young people are just like that..."

Suddenly, a monstrous wave appeared behind Cao Zhi, like a natural disaster, with a giant wave reaching tens of meters in height, surging down!

Hanzo the Salamander's pupils dilated as he murmured in disbelief.

"This...how is this possible...just a few marks?"

The three legendary Konoha ninjas, who were resting in the distance, looked at the towering waves that suddenly rose from the forest. Their faces turned deathly pale, except for Orochimaru, whose fair complexion made the wave less noticeable...

Tsunade, who was healing Jiraiya's injuries with medical ninjutsu, murmured to herself.

"How could Hanzo's Water Release technique be so powerful!"

"Hiss, I miss Hiruzen. Once the war is over, I'll go back to the village and enjoy life!"

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with fervor, and he lightly licked his lips.

"As expected of a demigod in the ninja world, I really want to learn this ninjutsu; it should at least be an S-rank ninjutsu!"

"Sea Escape: Roar of the Raging Waves!"

A massive wave, nearly a hundred meters in length, width, and height, swept across the land, and Hanzo's several water dragons were scattered as soon as they came into contact with it!

As Hanzo the Salamander watched the approaching giant wave, his arm fell limply to his side, and his scythe fell to the ground...

"Perhaps, you should be the demigod of the ninja world!"

Suddenly, the fish emerged from the ground and swallowed half of the salamander into its mouth.

Then, he was swept away by the giant wave. On the other side, Kusagi, who had used Nami's ultimate move, slumped to the ground, stuffing a soldier's ration into his mouth.

"This is fucking draining my chakra! I'm completely out of chakra..."

Then it fled in another direction at a snail's pace.

........................

Two days later, Hanzo the Salamander regained consciousness. He struggled to sit up and looked around at his surroundings, where he saw a large number of broken trees and rubble scattered all around him.

Beside him lay the mutilated corpse of Jingfu, now completely dead, emitting a foul stench.

Hanzo the Salamander had no major wounds, only some abrasions and blunt force injuries. He gently stroked the salamander's corpse with sorrow in his eyes.

"Ibushi, my first order to you was clearly to escape..."

After a while, feeling that some chakra had been restored in his body, Hanzo of the Salamander got up, took off his shattered armor, rolled up his sleeves, and dug the ground with his hands.

He wanted to bury his "comrades-in-arms" himself, then return to the village and announce the end of the war...

After this blow, his Dao heart showed signs of shattering. He originally had lofty ambitions to challenge the great powers and redivide the territory, but the once well-developed Rain Country became the main battlefield for the great powers. The civilians suffered heavy casualties, and the domestic economy was in a slump!

After spending almost a day burying the well-gatherer, Hanzo the Salamander, his body suddenly becoming somewhat hunched, muttered to himself as he walked towards the village.

"The Land of Rain, this war is over!"
