Kato Dan, Tsunade, and Bokume Kōto retreated.
They had no choice but to retreat. Facing Hanzo in his prime, even if all the three ninjas of Konoha were gathered together, they would be no match for him, not to mention the mediocre team Kato.
In theory, Kato Dan can be considered an elite jonin, not weaker than the idiot Jiraiya, but his core ninjutsu is the spiritual transformation technique, and he was completely suppressed by Hanzo, the strongest ninja in the ninja world.
Kato Dan had already checked it just now and found that his soul could not invade the powerful Hanzo's body and spiritual world, and could not exert any killing power at all.
Moreover, wherever Hanzo went, there was poisonous fog. Since Kato Dan's body could not be protected, it could be said that anyone who came into contact with him would die.
Besides, there is another person named Bokume Kōto in Kato Dan's team. His strength is no match for Orochimaru at all. The gap is too big, so such a battle cannot be carried out at all.
But the future "Big" Tsunade did not retreat. She stood with the bear in her arms, waiting for Hanzo's arrival calmly.
In fact, if Tsunade had just arrived in this ninja world, she would not have such great confidence, but these five years of dormancy were completely different for her, and her growth was really huge.
Not only is the mental growth huge, but the growth in strength is also huge.
With the help of the [system], Tsunade completely integrated her super strength skills, medical ninjutsu, Yin seals and physical skills, completed the construction of her own tactical system, and perfected the Hundred Healings Technique, and began to look forward to the Ten Thousand Healings Golden Body.
Tsunade feels that she is now fully capable of defeating the current three ninjas alone, and is also capable of competing with Hanzo.
Moreover, Kato Dan and the others are now being chased by Hanzo, which does not mean they have escaped the life-and-death crisis, so she decided to fight Hanzo.
Not only did he want to save his younger self, but he also wanted to put an end to the pain of being bullied three times by Hanzo and being given a random nickname.
Tsunade looked at the purple mist drifting in the distance and sneered, "Come on, Hanzo!"
Yin Seal: Release
Powerful chakra fluctuations erupted again, and this time it was completely different from what was just shown to the young Tsunade. Not only did Tsunade not deliberately control the distance of the fluctuations, she also incorporated her murderous intent into it and pushed it in the direction of the purple mist.
Feeling the sudden provocation, the demigod Hanzo couldn't help but pause, then he turned around and rushed towards Tsunade, ignoring the several Konoha ninjas who were trying to seduce him.
The demigod Hanzo is the strongest ninja in the ninja world.
The current status of the Hidden Rain Village is largely maintained by his title as the strongest.
The Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village is willing to cooperate, the Chiyo of the Sand Village is very wary of it, and the Konoha Village is hesitant to move forward, all because they are afraid of Hanzo's title as the strongest.
He must maintain this title of the strongest in order to maintain the deterrent power of the Hidden Rain Village and prevent the Rain Country from suffering a greater war disaster.
You know, the Second Ninja World War has entered its seventh year, and most of the ninjas have been driven crazy by the war. In the Rain Country, which is a battlefield, crazy ninjas who kill just for the sake of killing have begun to appear.
There are such ninjas in Iwagakure Village, Sand Village, and Konoha Village, more or less.
They seem normal when performing tasks and fighting, but once they stop, they will be overwhelmed and can only buy temporary peace by killing civilians.
No ninja village would seriously investigate such evil deeds during the war, and the biggest punishment was to make these ninjas perform more missions in the hope that they would die during the missions.
Hanzo didn't know how to solve these problems, but he knew that this was the result of his own deterrence. If his strongest deterrence disappeared, the massacre would probably become more and more intense.
Therefore, he must maintain his reputation as the strongest and remain aggressive enough. When faced with provocation, he must fight back without hesitation and knock the enemy down and scare him.
But what Hanzo didn't expect was that when he came in front of the ninja who sent out the provocative chakra, what he saw was a defeated opponent of his own.
"Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha?"
Hanzo was a little confused: "Are you alone? How dare you challenge me alone?"
Tsunade laughed and said, "Tsk, can't I challenge you alone, Hanzo-senpai?"
Hanzo was amused. Because he was wearing a respirator, his voice sounded dull: "Hehe, Princess Tsunade, I really didn't expect you to be so bold as to challenge me alone."
"why is that?"
Tsunade curled her lips and said, "Because the name of Konoha Sannin will indeed become more and more prestigious in the future, but every time I hear it, I feel upset."
"Senior Hanzo, can you please change your words and give me a new name?"
Hanzo was so angry that he laughed: "Tsunade-sama, I spared you three three times in the past, so you are still alive today. That's because you are important figures in Konoha Village. I can't afford the full revenge of Konoha Village after I kill you."
"Of course, it's also because you three are really strong and can support each other when you get together. I can't capture you alive without killing you, so I have to let you go."
Hanzo took off his respirator, and the thick poisonous gas spread out. He grinned and said, "But now you are alone, Princess Tsunade, you are alone!"
"I think I can capture you alive, and then find the Third Hokage of Konoha Village to exchange for something, don't you think?"
Tsunade raised her hands and tied her loose golden hair into two ponytails, and said with a smile: "So no matter what, my life will not be in danger?"
Hanzo chuckled, "Yes, if it was Orochimaru or Jiraiya, they wouldn't die, but I would cripple their hands. But I definitely won't do that to you."
"Although I have to injure you in order to capture you, I must also ensure that your injuries are healable and there is no danger of losing your limbs."
Tsunade said with a hint of surprise: "Senior Hanzo, you are quite a nice person."
Hanzo sighed and said, "There is nothing I can do. The Hidden Leaf Village is too powerful, and the Hidden Rain Village is too weak. If I really offend the entire Hidden Leaf Village, my Hidden Rain Village will only end up destroyed."
"After all, I am not as powerful as your grandfather, the First Hokage. The protection I can provide is very limited."
"So I had to hold back and not beat you kids who are such a huge threat to me to death."
Tsunade was silent for a while, then she laughed: "Life is not easy for small countries and small ninja villages, especially for a country like the Rain Country, which is located on a major transportation route and is a natural battlefield."
"Why don't I defeat Hanzo-senpai here today and free you from this heavy burden."
boom--
After a loud bang, dust flew up, and Tsunade's fist was blocked by a chain, but Hanzo, who was holding up the chain, was knocked half buried in the ground.
Tsunade was half surprised and half happy and praised: "You were able to block my great power without leaving a big hole on the ground. Hanzo-senpai is really amazing."
"It looks like I can fight to my heart's content this time."
Hanzo's face looked terrible, his eyes full of doubts: "Who are you?"
"I'm Tsunade."
"Impossible. If you had this much strength last time, along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya, I would have been the one to escape!"
boom--
With the help of Tsunade's heavy kick, Hanzo pulled himself out of the ground and landed on the ground with a backflip, but the trembling of his hands caused the sickle chain to rattle, and it was obvious that his hands were almost out of control due to the huge impact force.
Tsunade pounced forward without mercy, intending to deliver another fatal punch.
Water Style: Water Flash Technique
Hanzo's figure suddenly disappeared and turned into a large number of water droplets. No one knew which drop was the real Hanzo, so Tsunade's attack naturally missed.
After dodging Tsunade's continuous attacks, the water drop fell more than ten meters away and turned into Hanzo again. He completed the hand seal in an instant, then puffed up his cheeks and blew.
A thick purple mist gushed out, covering both Tsunade and him.
Water Style: Poison Spray
This is an advanced property change of water jutsu, where chakra is directly transformed into highly toxic venom, which is then sprayed out as thick mist.
This chakra's toxicity simulates the venom of a salamander and has a strong corrosive effect.
Hanzo knew that Tsunade and Chiyo were both able to create antidotes and were not afraid of the toxicity of the salamander.
But he firmly believed that it would be rogue to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. Detoxification also requires dosage. Even if the other party has an antidote, as long as the dosage of the toxin he sends out is sufficient, the antidote will be given in vain.
But surprisingly, facing this strong poison, Tsunade did not dodge or evade, but instead punched it out.
With a muffled bang, the poisonous fog that Hanzo spat out was dispersed. What was even more surprising was that after the purple poison was dispersed, it turned into clear water droplets, dripping onto the ground.
The water droplets are so clear, completely non-toxic, and even emit the fragrance of grass and trees.
Such a change left Hanzo stunned, and he was completely unable to understand what was happening.
Tsunade kindly explained, "Toxins are very difficult to deal with. If such a large amount of poison is obtained from the poison sac of the salamander, I really have no way to deal with it. I can only stay away from it."
"But you used the trick of changing the nature of chakra to simulate the poison of the salamander, which is completely different."
"You use chakra to play tricks, so I can naturally use the change of chakra properties to counter it. I will exert a little influence on your chakra and restore it from being highly poisonous to pure water."
Hanzo looked at Tsunade in bewilderment and murmured, "How is this possible?"
He understood Tsunade's explanation, but he couldn't comprehend the logic behind it. Wasn't the change in the nature of chakra accomplished painstakingly inside the body? Why could it be used as a ninjutsu and then have its nature changed again by the enemy?
How can he fight when Tsunade plays with chakra like that? Does he have to rely entirely on physical skills?
Tsunade is famous for her medical ninjutsu and supernatural powers. If you limit your fighting style to physical skills when fighting her, you will be seeking death.
Hanzo was really confused. As the strongest ninja in the ninja world, he didn't know how to continue fighting.
Tsunade was naturally extremely satisfied with her performance. This way of fighting that played with chakra was also proposed by the [System].
As a medical ninja who is not good at combat ninjutsu, Tsunade's combat system actually has huge flaws. In this ninja world dominated by ninjas, she will suffer a loss.
For example, if you encounter an enemy who uses the kite style, you will be in the dilemma of just taking the beating without being able to fight back.
However, when encountering a copper pea who specializes in close combat, such as the successive Raikages of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, Tsunade's fighting style that focuses on recovery will also be at a disadvantage.
There is too much data recorded in the [system], especially Uchiha Yu's cognition and creative ideas, which have been learned and summarized by the [system] during several years of operation, and a new knowledge system has been summarized.
According to the calculations of the [system], Tsunade should practice the changes in chakra properties on the basis of refining the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique.
It wasn't about her using Ninjutsu herself, but about breaking the opponent's Ninjutsu and making it ineffective.
As long as she can drag her opponent into a state where he can only rely on physical skills, Tsunade can rely on her rich experience in physical skills and unlimited recovery ability to defeat the opponent without any suspense.
After a moment of silence, Hanzo burst into laughter: "Great, Princess Tsunade, you are really amazing."
"It's only been a short time, and you've already improved to such a level. I can't even use ninjutsu to attack in front of you, and can only fight with taijutsu."
"But do you think you have the upper hand?"
Tsunade replied as a matter of course: "Of course, if you and I compete in Taijutsu, I will definitely win!"
"In this ninja world, there are only two people whose taijutsu I cannot match, but you are not one of them, Hanzo-senpai."
Hanzo asked in surprise, "There is actually a strong taijutsu master that you can't defeat. Is he the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village?"
Tsunade shook her head and said, "It's not the Raikage. The core of the Raikage's strength is not the Taijutsu, but the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, a Ninja Taijutsu."
She smiled confidently, "I'm not afraid of him."
The Thunder Release Chakra mode that successive Raikages specialized in is very powerful, but it is also a ninjutsu, and its function can also be destroyed by changing its nature.
Without the blessing of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, can a mere Raikage still show off in front of Tsunade?
One punch can teach him a lesson.
It was precisely because of her successful chakra training that she was able to render the enemy's ninjutsu ineffective that Tsunade had the confidence to fight Hanzo Hanzo alone.
She has two goals for the next step. One is to advance her chakra training to the point where she can disassemble Susanoo, and the other is to advance her Hundred Healings Technique to the Ten Thousand Healings Golden Body. Only then will she be truly amazing.
According to Tsunade's idea, "the people of the Senju clan cannot be left behind too much by the Uchiha clan, otherwise it will be too embarrassing."
After being reorganized by Uchiha Yuu, the Uchiha clan prospered, with almost everyone in the younger generation having their eyes opened, and a large number of three-magatama Sharingan appeared at a young age.
In the foreseeable future, among these three-magatama Sharingan ninjas, a large number of Mangekyō Sharingan will inevitably emerge, and the prosperity of the Uchiha clan will reach an unprecedented new peak.
The prosperity of the Uchiha clan was a great stimulus to Tsunade.
In comparison, she was the only one left of her Senju clan, and she was suppressed by two Uchiha Mangekyōs, which was simply embarrassing.
Maybe she really can't compare with the pervert Uchiha Yuu, but she, Tsunade, must defeat Uchiha Fugaku to prove that the Senju clan is no worse than the Uchiha clan.
As for Uchiha Yuu, he was a stranger like the first Hokage, and no one would blame her for wanting to defeat such a monster.
In this ninja world, at this point in time, there are even fewer ninjas that Tsunade cannot defeat. The only two ninjas are Hatake Sakumo and Might Dai from Konoha Village, who she is not sure she can defeat.
Looking at Hanzo who looked confused, Tsunade smiled and said, "In fact, as long as you meet my requirements, we can also stop fighting, Hanzo-senpai."
Hanzo asked sullenly, "What do you want?"
"A new nickname." Tsunade looked at Hanzo with sharp eyes: "I want you to give me a nickname, a new nickname that belongs to me, not a makeshift title like the Three Ninjas of Konoha."
Hanzo: “…”
His expression froze and turned grim: "Do you still need to publicly admit in front of so many people that you defeated me and declare that I am no longer the strongest ninja in the ninja world?"
Tsunade was stunned: "This..."
She originally wanted to say: I don’t mean that, you just need to think of a nickname for me now.
But Hanzo didn't give her a chance to finish. He roared, "Tsunade! Don't even think about taking away my title of the strongest!"
"Even without my ninjutsu, I can't be defeated so easily!"
"If you want to be the strongest ninja in the ninja world, then you have to risk your life!"
Tsunade really wanted to say: I am not, I didn’t, you are wrong!
But Tsunade didn't have the chance to explain. Hanzo shook his hand and swung out the hammer at the other end of the chain sickle, hitting Tsunade with a humming sound.
At the same time, he put the sickle on his waist, gathered his strength for a moment, and then launched the sword technique - Iai Slash.
The white blade of the sickle turned into white light, emitting a poisonous light purple color, and swept across Tsunade's waist.
"I, known to the world as a demigod, am not a cripple who can only rely on poison."
"Even if you can disable my ninjutsu and poison, it won't be that easy for you to defeat me with taijutsu, Tsunade!"
The hammer with the chain wrapped around Tsunade's arm, and at the same time, the light of the sickle swept across Tsunade's body, bringing out a string of tiny blood beads. Hanzo and Tsunade also passed each other at the same time.
The blood beads brought out by the sickle flew in the air, quickly darkening from bright blood red, and had become purple-black by the time they landed on the ground.
The blood drops that splashed onto the grass stems corroded them into black, making them visibly dry and dehydrated, and dead.
There was a big tear in Tsunade's clothes around her waist, revealing her snow-white waist, but there was no wound beneath the blood beads remaining on her skin.
No, it should be said that the wound had completely healed as blood was oozing out, without even leaving any scars.
Instead, Hanzo suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and at the same time, the clothes on his upper body shattered like butterflies, revealing his upper body covered with scars.
It turned out that Tsunade's right hand was entangled by the hammer and she couldn't break free for a while, and Hanzo's Iai Slash was too fast, so she really couldn't dodge it, so she simply didn't dodge.
Tsunade took advantage of the moment when the sickle cut into Hanzo's waist and slowed down, and kicked him hard in the back.
The two sides exchanged attacks in a flash. It was obvious that Tsunade suffered more damage, but in the end Hanzo was at a disadvantage.
