Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 248 Let's Fight!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

More than ten people simultaneously formed hand seals, and the raging wind gathered into a huge wind blade, slashing towards Onoki.

Onoki dodged to the side, and a wind blade grazed his shoulder, slicing off a section of his sleeve.

"Interesting." Onoki's smile faded, and he clasped his hands together: "Dust Release: Particle Style!"

A beam of white light shot out from his palm, instantly engulfing the three dragonfly users.

The three people's bodies were disintegrated into the finest particles in the beam of light, before they could even scream.

The remaining dragonfly users did not back down and formed hand seals again. Onoki looked at them, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Sigh, what exactly did Hanzo the Salamander give you? I remember you used to be ninjas from Kusagakure, the very village that destroyed your country. Why are you still working so hard for him!"

"You don't understand. A treacherous person like you will never comprehend the greatness of Lord Hanzo of the Salamander!"

"Wind Release: Sage Art: Tornado!" At this moment, the man finally unleashed the Sage Art that he had been unable to control before.

He finally forced Onoki to retreat from his attack, but he himself was also consumed by the natural energy and fell from the sky.

The remaining people took advantage of this opening to approach the ground, which made Onoki hesitant to use Dust Release, fearing that he might ruin the plan instead of harming anyone.

But they were too quick to celebrate.

"Magnetic Release: Golden Sand Rain!"

"Wind Release·Huangshazi Realm!"

The Kazekage couple, who had been holding back until now, finally made their move. Since they had already broken off all pretense of civility, there was no need for mercy.

Working together, the dragonfly enthusiasts at the forefront were instantly swallowed up by the sand.

Rasa stood on the boulder, looking down at Hanzo, who was entangled by Chiyo, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Knowing it's a trap and still stepping into it, I don't know if it's arrogance or stupidity."

"What right do you people, who only know how to use schemes and tricks, have to call Lord Hanzo stupid!"

In the sky, the remaining dozen or so dragonfly users roared in unison and formed hand seals once more.

However, their ninjutsu had too long a wind-up animation, and against a top-tier powerhouse like Onoki Rasa, those few seconds could be fatal.

Onoki's third Dust Release technique was ready to be unleashed.

Hanzo raised his head, looking at his men who were fighting desperately for him, and said with emotion, "You can go. It's alright, I can leave!"

After all, he can summon the Seven-Tails, allowing him to attack or defend as needed.

He only wanted to make Yahiko realize the truth this time, and did not want to cause unnecessary casualties.

At that moment, a golden light struck from the side.

"Magnetic Release: The Great Burial of Golden Sands!"

However, its target was not Hanzo, but Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, who had been dealing with the Iwagakure ninja.

The golden sands transformed into giant waves, crashing down upon the three of them.

Yahiko looked up, wanting to dodge, but found that his feet were covered by golden sand, and his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.

"Yahiko!" Konan exclaimed, trying to pull him out, but she herself was also trapped by the golden sand.

Nagato's Rinnegan spun wildly, trying to unleash its power, but a rebellious teenager appeared beneath his feet, laughing and raising his hands to the ground: "Hahaha, explode!"

Nagato was instantly blown away by the blast wave, flying a great distance.

Just as the giant waves of golden sand were about to engulf them, two sharp blades flashed, slicing two huge gaps in the golden sand waves.

An arm reached in through the gap, grabbed a man by the collar, and pulled them out of the yellow sand.

Hanzo the Salamander stood in front of them, his long sword held horizontally.

"Things have changed, Nanami can't come. You guys go first."

Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the darkness and connected to Hanzo's shadow.

Hanzo's body stiffened abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, a spiritual will entered his mind.

"The Art of Mind Transference!"

"Shadow Binding Technique!"

Two Root ninjas jumped out from the crowd and launched a surprise attack while he was rescuing people.

Hanzo the salamander got caught!

Although it's only for a moment, in a duel between top-tier experts, a moment is enough.

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

Onoki had been waiting for this moment. A white beam of light fell from the sky, aimed at Hanzo's body.

Hanzo's consciousness had broken free, but his body was too late to dodge.

Just as the beam of light was about to hit him, a huge figure rushed out from the side and slammed into Hanzo, sending him flying.

It was a salamander. It used its body to withstand the attack, and the white light ended after the attack.

The salamander let out a mournful screech, and its hind half disappeared, with blood and shattered internal organs gushing out from the wound.

But he was still alive. After regaining his senses, Hanzo unleashed two sword strikes, killing the two Root ninjas hiding in the shadows.

But he also knew that the situation was hopeless and there was no point in continuing the fight.

With another slash, he forced back the ten members of the Kinmatsu gang. He bit his finger and began to rapidly form hand seals.

"Spiritual communication!"

The smoke exploded, but nothing appeared.

He tried again, but there was still no response!

"Has the Seven-Tails already been summoned away by someone else?"

He frowned slightly, making a judgment in his mind: "Who is he holding him back? Is it Kumogakure? Or Konoha?"

He smiled wryly, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Originally, the Seven-Tails was his last trump card, a weapon that could be used for both offense and defense, which is why he dared to come to the meeting so recklessly.

He just hadn't expected the other party's scheme to be so meticulous.

The last card, the last path, is also cut off!

So all of this was a trap set from the very beginning to ensure his certain death!

"Salamander!"

He shouted, and the dying salamander behind him immediately received the command. It used its remaining forelimbs to prop itself up, grabbed Yahiko and the other two in its mouth, and rushed desperately into the distance.

Hanzo stood in the center of the crowd, drawing a short sword from his waist, holding one in each hand, while the two scythes on his back unfolded simultaneously.

Yahiko, who was lying in the mouth of a salamander in the distance, desperately turned around, but only heard Hanzo say, "Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, I entrust the Land of Rain to you. Inherit my will and live well."

The few remaining dragonfly users in the sky also received Hanzo the Salamander's will and desperately unleashed their combined wind blades, creating a gap at the edge of the encircling earthen wall.

The tattered salamander leaped, carrying the three of them into the inland waters of the Land of Rain.

"Lord Hanzo—" Yahiko called out.

Finally, what he saw was a towering figure standing in front of a vast army.

At this moment, Chiyo, controlling the remaining puppets, had already arrived.

In the sky, Onoki had finished off the remaining dragonfly users and formed an array in the air.

On either side, there are the Fengying couple, amidst a sky filled with yellow sand.

Hanzo took a deep breath and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.

He bit open the poison sac and applied the poisonous blood to the weapon.

"Let's fight!"
