Chapter 113 Battle against Hanzo the Salamander
Unless Yahiko or Konan dies, prompting Nagato to use the Rinnegan at any cost, he should be able to fight Hanzo, and even then, he might not win. After all, even if Nagato can unleash the power of the Rinnegan now, it won't last long.
The Nagato we know now is not the man who will later claim to be a god.
At this moment, Ooka Shin suddenly had a strange thought: given his relationship with Nagato, if he died, would Nagato explode?
I hope I'll never know the answer to that question.
Hearing Ooka Shin's words, Nagato and Konan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, perfect, the rebels are all here, let's take care of them in one fell swoop!"
At this point, both sides were blinded by rage and had no intention of sitting down for a rational debate. Of course, killing the other side was the priority.
Only those who survive have the right to reason.
Once you die, you have nothing left.
"Shadow Clone Technique! Nagato, Konan, we must escape!!"
Ooka Shin, using his shadow clones, employed ninjutsu to fend off the Rain Ninja before him, shouting anxiously.
Nagato charged to the front: "Shinra Tensei! I'll open a breach at the front!"
Nagato not only possessed the Rinnegan, but also had an extremely abundant amount of chakra. In addition, he had mastered many ninjutsu, making him arguably the strongest of the three. Therefore, he bravely shouldered the heavy responsibility.
Konan wrapped Yahiko in paper and used the paper to attack the approaching Rain Ninja: "I'll protect Yahiko!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"
Ooka Shin and his shadow clones created a large amount of water, forming a vast lake on the ground, and electrified the lake to block the numerous Rain Ninja.
"I'll cover your retreat! You all get out of here!"
For Ooka Shin, Nagato and the others were not only his close companions, but also important support, preventing them from being easily killed.
"These three guys are incredibly strong! Where did they come from?!"
Hanzo watched the battle for a while, and seeing Nagato's amazing ninjutsu, seeing Konan's paper jutsu unaffected by the rain, and seeing Ooka Shin's ability to continuously unleash powerful chakra, he couldn't help but recall the past.
"Three more teenagers. The last time I saw a scene like this was with three rising stars from Konoha. I never thought our Rain Village would have such figures. It's a pity you want to be my enemies!"
Seeing more and more Rain Ninjas being defeated, and Nagato and his two companions about to break through the encirclement, Hanzo decided to take action himself.
"Spiritual summoning! You all step back, lest you be caught in the crossfire!"
"Yes!"
After Hanzo summoned a giant salamander, the Rain Ninja quickly led the wounded away from the area, leaving the battlefield to Hanzo.
"So this is a salamander? It's huge! Everyone, watch out for its poisonous attacks!"
Upon seeing Hanzo summon the salamander, Ooka Shin's expression turned serious, and he stood ready for battle.
Nagato stepped forward, facing Hanzo, and shielded Ooka Nobu and Konan behind him.
"You all go quickly, I'll hold him off!"
Nonsense. You've only developed a tiny bit of the Rinnegan's power. How could you possibly withstand Hanzo?
Ooka Shin said bluntly, "Don't underestimate me. I've been using the Rinnegan to research ninjutsu, and my strength is greater than you imagine. Let Konan take Yahiko away; she can fly, so it will be easier for her to retreat."
At worst, I'll just expose the One-Tailed Beast's chakra and abilities. Anyway, I don't have a tailed beast inside me, so I'm not afraid of investigation. I'll just treat it as a natural ability. There are so many strange bloodline limits in the ninja world, one more won't make a difference.
The Rinnegan is an extremely important cheat code, and it should never be given up easily.
"None of you will escape! I'll finish them off with one move!"
Hanzo looked at the struggling people with a cold expression. He did not make a move. The salamander under his feet opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of poison gas.
Upon seeing the extremely dense poison gas, Nagato immediately raised both hands.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The powerful repulsive force directly blocked the poison gas and reflected it back.
"No hand seals required, no warning whatsoever, quite an interesting ninjutsu. But how long can you last?"
Hanzo stood with his arms crossed, showing no signs of tension in the battle. Instead, he was in the mood to evaluate Nagato's ninjutsu. However, the salamanders beneath his feet were continuously spewing out poisonous gas.
The amount of toxins in a salamander's body is limited; once it's used up, it takes some time to replenish it.
However, salamanders can extend the duration of their toxic gas spray by reducing the amount they expel.
If sprayed at full power, the poison gas from the salamander could instantly engulf a battlefield of thousands. Since it's only attacking Nagato and a few others, it doesn't need a large spray volume, so it can last for a long time.
"hateful!"
A few seconds later, Nagato watched as the salamander continued to spew poison gas, with no idea when it would stop.
If this continues, as long as there is enough poison gas, it will eventually engulf Konan and Ooka Shin, since Nagato's skills have a cooldown period.
"Since we can't stop the poison gas, let's solve the problem at its root!!"
Nagato raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, and used all the chakra in his body to fully activate the Rinnegan.
"Don't even think about harming my comrades!!"
In an instant, the repulsive force was greatly amplified, pushing all the poisonous gas back and enveloping the salamander and Hanzo.
"How is that possible!"
"He withstood Lord Hanzo's poison gas!!"
"Lord Hanzo, are you sure you haven't been poisoned?!"
"Damn it, poison gas is coming this way, run!"
The poison gas quickly spread to the Rain Ninja's location. Several Rain Ninjas who were slow to react were directly poisoned and collapsed to the ground in pain. The remaining Rain Ninjas immediately retreated, while looking worriedly at Hanzo, who was shrouded in the poisonous fog.
"Nagato!"
Seeing Nagato's outburst, Konan was very worried, but Ooka Shin interrupted her directly.
"Enough talk, hurry up and take Yahiko away! Don't forget he's been poisoned and needs immediate treatment!!!"
"Watch out!"
Konan glanced at Nagato and Ooka Shin, gritted her teeth, suppressed her worries, used her Paper Release to conjure wings, and flew into the sky with Yahiko, quickly getting away from the area.
"It's not over yet!!!"
Nagato knew that only by defeating Hanzo could they escape, so despite his weakened state, he continued to activate his Rinnegan to buy time for Konan.
The repulsive force was overwhelming, instantly blasting away the soil, trees, rocks, and poisonous gas on the ground. Where Hanzo was located, everything vanished into thin air in an instant.
"Huh...huh..."
After finishing his ninjutsu, Nagato was panting heavily, utterly exhausted. As he watched Konan's figure gradually disappear into the horizon, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"They escaped, that's good..."
Watch out, you idiot!!!
At that moment, Nagato heard Ooka Shin's roar. Before he could react, the ground cracked open rapidly, and a giant salamander burst out of the ground, opening its huge mouth to swallow Nagato whole.
"What an idiot! Nagato is so indecisive right now; he's not a qualified ninja at all, let alone the ruthless style he develops later in the anime! What a nuisance!!!"
Ooka complained inwardly, pressing his hands directly to the ground.
Countless grains of sand appeared, forming four enormous claws. Two claws pressed down on the salamander's body to prevent it from moving, while the other two claws held the salamander's upper and lower jaws to prevent it from closing its mouth.
"Damn it, it's all rain here, which has slowed down my sand manipulation speed a lot! Nagato, hurry up and get out! I can't hold on for more than a few seconds!!"
