Chapter 644 Right Hand
Chapter 644 Right Hand
"Shadow Madara's" right hand, along with the ninja sword in his hand, was severed at the wrist and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out instantly and staining the soil beneath his feet red.
"Shadowspot" let out a painful groan, his body jerking backward, his face filled with shock and disbelief. He hadn't expected that Zhang Hai, in such a near-certain death situation, would retaliate so decisively and ruthlessly in such a bizarre way!
"Your swordsmanship... is too poor." Zhang Hai's voice was cold and hoarse, devoid of any emotion. His gaze swept over "Shadow Spot's" severed right hand, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "Such swordsmanship, you dare to show off your amateur skills in front of your teacher?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed again, appearing in front of "Shadow Spot" like a ghost.
Before "Shadow Spot" could react, the White Fang Blade in Zhang Hai's hand transformed into a streak of silver light once again.
"laugh!"
Another sound of flesh being torn apart.
Shadow's tongue was severed by Zhang Hai's blade without any defense, and the gushing blood instantly stained his mask. He let out a shrill wail, but because his tongue had been cut off, he could not utter any complete scream.
"Such foul language is unacceptable!" Zhang Hai's voice was filled with extreme coldness and disgust. "What right do you have to criticize my teacher?!"
His movements didn't falter in the slightest. The moment he severed "Shadowspot's" tongue, Zhang Hai's White Fang Blade was already aimed at "Shadowspot's" neck with extreme speed.
The blade flashed, its cold gleam fully revealed.
Shadow's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He wanted to resist, to dodge, but his body was as if under a spell, completely unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the deadly cold light magnified infinitely before his eyes.
"laugh!"
The third sound of flesh being torn apart.
The blade sliced precisely and mercilessly across "Shadowspot's" neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed artery, staining Zhang Hai's clothes and the surrounding ground red.
Shadow's body stiffened abruptly, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished rapidly. He remained leaning forward, swayed twice, and finally collapsed helplessly into a pool of blood.
One strike cuts off the hand, two strikes sever the tongue, three strikes take the life!
From the moment "Shadowspot" launched his attack to his eventual death, the entire process took only a few seconds.
The White Fang Blade in Zhang Hai's hand remained unstained by blood after slaying "Shadow Spot." He slowly sheathed the blade, his movements fluid and elegant, as if the bloody slaughter had never occurred.
He stood in the pool of blood, his silver hair fluttering slightly in the night wind, his dark eyes as calm as an abyss, unfathomable.
Inside and outside the barrier, everyone watched in shock at the horrifying scene before them. Minato and Tsunade stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. The Third Hokage's expression was extremely grim, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and...deep apprehension.
Before everyone's eyes, Zhang Hai ended the duel with extreme ruthlessness and cruelty.
Three cuts! Just three cuts!
"Shadow Madara," the ninja who was once as famous as "Konoha's White Fang" and was known as a legend of the Anbu, died tragically under Zhang Hai's blade in such a humiliating and bloody manner.
Severing hands, cutting off tongues, taking lives. Every movement was precise and ruthless, carrying an extreme coldness and killing intent. He gave "Shadowspot" no chance to resist, nor any room to beg for mercy. This was not a simple duel, but a naked massacre.
Inside and outside the barrier, everyone was shocked by this sudden scene. Minato and Tsunade's expressions froze, their eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of fear. They had never seen Zhang Hai so cruel, nor had they ever imagined that the usually reserved and composed young man would torture and kill his former comrades in such an extreme way.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was terrifyingly grim, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. He looked at "Kagemaru" lying in a pool of blood, then glanced at Zhang Hai, who stood there calmly, like an abyss. He knew that Zhang Hai's actions just now were not simply a display of strength, but more like an extreme venting of anger. It was a complete outpouring of his resentment towards "Kagemaru's" betrayal, his indifference towards the village, and his fury over Hatake Sakumo's tragic death.
"Arrest him!"
The Third Hokage's voice was cold and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable command. His chakra erupted instantly, and a powerful sense of oppression enveloped the entire area.
At the Third Hokage's command, the Anbu ninjas lying in ambush around the barrier immediately sprang into action. Their figures flashed like ghosts in the night, instantly surrounding Zhang Hai. Kunai, shuriken, and various ninja tools gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and dozens of pairs of icy eyes were fixed intently on Zhang Hai, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Minato snapped back to reality, staring at Zhang Hai, who was surrounded, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Teacher! You..." Minato wanted to say something, but a thought choked him up. The brutal killing of a comrade... this was an act that Konoha ninja could never tolerate. No matter how much he cared for Zhang Hai, he couldn't defend him at this moment.
Tsunade tried to rush forward to stop them, but her arm was firmly held by the Third Hokage.
"Tsunade! Don't go over there!" The Third Hokage's voice carried a hint of warning, his eyes filled with sternness. "He has already killed someone! Moreover, that killing intent is not something you can easily quell!"
Tsunade struggled for a moment, but was ultimately stopped by the Third Hokage's strength. She could only watch helplessly as the Anbu ninjas surrounded Zhang Hai, her face filled with worry and resentment.
Outside the barrier, Danzo watched everything unfold, a smug smile spreading across his face. His plan was progressing even more smoothly than he had anticipated. Zhang Hai's loss of control and the brutal killing of "Shadow Madara" would all serve as powerful evidence to solidify Zhang Hai's "rebellious" identity.
Surrounded by dozens of ANBU ninjas, Zhang Hai showed no panic. He remained calmly standing in place, his dark eyes sweeping over each ANBU ninja without a trace of fear.
His gaze finally settled on Minato.
Zhang Hai slowly drew the White Fang Blade from his hand, then, with the tip pointing downwards, handed it to Minato.
“Minato-senpai…” Zhang Hai’s voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear, “This sword… I’m entrusting it to you for safekeeping. And… Kakashi, I also entrust it to you… to take good care of him.”
Minato was stunned. He looked at the White Fang Blade that Zhang Hai had handed him, then glanced at Zhang Hai's unusually calm eyes. He wanted to question Zhang Hai, to ask him why he had done this, why he had tortured and killed "Shadow Madness," and why he had driven himself to such a dead end.
