Chapter 785 Opening your mouth
Just as the Rain Village ninjas were about to ask questions, Zhang Hai's Sharingan flashed and disappeared. A powerful genjutsu instantly invaded their mental world, leaving their minds blank.
"Take us to see your leader." Zhang Hai's voice carried an unquestionable command.
The ninjas, under the influence of the genjutsu, turned around without resistance, like puppets, and headed straight for Amegakure's headquarters with Zhang Hai and Bai.
However, they hadn't gone far when a figure suddenly appeared from the sky. The person wore a mask and a cloak, and had a sharp, piercing gaze, as keen as a hawk's.
"What a courage!"
As the man's voice boomed, a powerful chakra pressure instantly enveloped the entire area.
Several Rain Ninjas, who had been under the genjutsu, snapped out of their daze at Hanzo's angry shout. They looked at Zhang Hai and Bai in horror, their faces filled with disbelief and terror. They couldn't believe they had been manipulated without their knowledge!
Zhang Hai smiled as he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him. He had long anticipated that entering the Rain Village's headquarters would inevitably alert the village's master.
"Demigod, it's been many years, but you're still as dashing as ever," Zhang Hai greeted the newcomer with a smile.
The newcomer was none other than Hanzo the Salamander, a demigod of the ninja world!
Hanzo's narrow eyes were fixed on Zhang Hai, filled with wariness and doubt. He quickly searched his memory, but couldn't recall the man at all. However, he could tell that this person was incredibly powerful, capable of silently controlling so many ninjas simultaneously.
Therefore, Hanzo did not act immediately. With an arrogant tone, he coldly made Zhang Bai write his name on the poster.
"Tell me your name!"
Zhang Hai looked at Hanzo's narrow gaze and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
“My name is Zhang Hai.” Zhang Hai’s voice carried a hint of mystery. “As for our last meeting… it was during the Second Shinobi World War, Demigod.”
He paused, his tone carrying a hint of reminder: "Back then, the demigod needed to replenish his toxins, but Granny Chiyo saw through it."
Upon hearing the name "Granny Chiyo," Hanzo's expression immediately turned serious. A flood of distant memories surged through him, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared in his usually arrogant eyes. He remembered that Konoha brat who had briefly clashed with him on the battlefield years ago, the boy who had caused him considerable trouble, and whose secret of replenishing his poison was ultimately exposed by Granny Chiyo!
"It's you, brat?!" Hanzo blurted out, his voice tinged with shock. He hadn't expected that the kid who had nearly given him a hard time on the battlefield years ago would reappear before him after all these years!
Shocked, a surge of overwhelming rage welled up in Hanzo's heart. He snorted coldly, his eyes filled with fury.
"Hmph! You brat! You tricked me back then, and now you've come to Amegakure with a letter of alliance with Kumogakure?!"
Hanzo angrily questioned him. He recalled the experience of being "tricked" by Zhang Hai back then, and his heart was filled with resentment and bitterness.
Seeing Hanzo's furious expression, Zhang Hai knew the other had recognized him. Without further ado, he drew his Wuyi Blade from his waist, the blade gleaming coldly, pointing it directly at Hanzo.
Hanzo saw Zhang Hai's actions and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He thought Zhang Hai was just an insignificant brat from back then, and even after a few years, he couldn't possibly have the strength to defeat him.
"Hmph! You overconfident brat!"
Hanzo snorted coldly and swung his chain scythe outwards. The chain extended rapidly like a venomous snake, coiling towards Zhang Hai.
"Swordsmanship, Chain Scythe Double Strike!"
The chain swiftly coiled around the unintentional knife in Zhang Hai's hand, attempting to bind his weapon. Then, the scythe at the end of the chain, with a sharp whistling sound, slashed down towards Zhang Hai's head!
However, Zhang Hai's Sharingan suddenly lit up at this moment! He seemed to merge with the Unintentional Blade, becoming one with it! Starlight dotted the blade, and even though it was bound by chains, it carried a destructive aura as it pierced straight at Hanzo.
"drink!"
With a soft shout from Zhang Hai, a powerful burst of chakra erupted instantly! The chains wrapped around the Wuyi Blade cracked inch by inch, making a "crackling" sound! The blade gleamed with a chilling light, extending an astonishing aura, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. With a single strike, it not only instantly shattered Hanzo's "Swordsmanship, Chain Scythe Two-Stage Strike," but also made Hanzo feel an unprecedented aura of death!
A flicker of disbelief crossed Hanzo's eyes. He hadn't expected that the brat from back then would have grown so much stronger in just a few years!
Without hesitation, he released the chain scythe in his hand, and his body instantly turned into a blur, using a teleportation technique to leave the spot.
However, the moment he left, countless explosive tags suddenly lit up on the ground! The explosive tags spread rapidly like a spider web, entangling Zhang Hai within them.
"boom!"
A deafening roar! The detonating talisman exploded, forming a massive "explosive fire array" that completely engulfed Zhang Hai's figure!
Hanzo watched as Zhang Hai was blown away and disappeared, and a sense of smugness rose within him. However, a cold voice suddenly rang out behind him!
"Your petty tricks will be exposed under these eyes."
Hanzo turned around abruptly, only to see a flash of cold light!
"Clang!"
Unintentionally, the blade was now firmly pressed against Hanzo's neck! His mask had been cleaved in two by Zhang Hai's blade, revealing a face bearing the marks of the sword. That face was filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe he had been defeated so easily!
However, Hanzo, with a knife to his neck, suddenly burst into maniacal laughter! His laughter was filled with madness and triumph.
"Hahaha! You brat, you've certainly become much stronger than you were back then!" Hanzo laughed wildly, a strange glint in his eyes. "But do you think you can beat me like this?"
He slowly explained, "The reason I wear a mask is because I release a deadly poison when I breathe. In order not to affect the others in Amegakure, I was forced to wear it and breathe through my mouth instead."
Hanzo's lips curled into a sinister smile as he looked at Zhang Hai with smug satisfaction, his tone dripping with mockery: "You're already poisoned! How much strength do you have left?!"
Zhang Hai looked at Hanzo's face, contorted with anger and shock, and a hint of sympathy flickered in his eyes. He sighed softly, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
