There aren't many opportunities to fight a legendary demigod.

With Yan Liu's strength, it was already quite good that he could fight back and forth with the Impure World Form of Salamander Hanzo, who was not at his peak.

Yan Liu is just a mortal with limited chakra, and his energy cannot always sustain superb performance.

Hanzo's Impure World Form is an immortal body with infinite chakra and nearly infinite physical strength.

Although Yan Liu is powerful, he is still slightly inferior. This small gap means a world of difference.

It is possible to match, but difficult to win.

As time goes by, Yanliu will become more and more dangerous.

The title of "demigod" was not only earned by his sword skills, but also by his superb skills in using poison.

Gradually, the battlefield between the two of them became so crowded that the ninjas with insufficient strength were no longer qualified to approach.

Not only is there a swift sharp blade, but there is also a deadly poison that constantly permeates the air, which is something that makes people terrified.

Without the help of his subordinates, Yan Liu found it increasingly difficult to withstand the offensive of Salamander Hanzo, and his defeat seemed only a matter of time.

Orochimaru, who transformed into the Jonin of Rain Village - Shigure, slowly walked into the battle circle between Salamander Hanzo and Yanliu.

When great power belongs to an individual, the organization's restrictions on powerful people will be reduced. Especially when the strength reaches a level that can ignore the advantage in numbers to a certain extent, individual will will greatly influence the direction of the collective.

In the society of Mizuki's previous life, with the development of science and technology, the contribution of a very small number of intellectual elites to social development far exceeded the sum of the mediocre masses. Even more so in the ninja world, a world where heroes decide the future of the world and extraordinary powers emerge in endlessly.

Orochimaru, who was in his prime, didn't dare to say that he could win against the "demigod" who once made him feel powerless before his hands were sealed by the Third Hokage.

But now, after regaining the ability to perform ninjutsu with both hands, in a short time, Orochimaru not only regained all his strength, but became much stronger than before.

Orochimaru clearly felt that the "demigod" who was still at the level of his past strength was no longer his opponent.

This feeling was not an illusion. After communicating with Mizuki for a long time, Orochimaru felt more and more that the things hidden behind this turbulent era were chilling.

"A meat grinder for the living, and the survivors are rewarded, but the price is the poor dead as sacrifices?"

Although I vaguely sensed the terrifying truth behind the ninja world, but...

"Who is qualified to manipulate all this and reap the rich rewards in the end?"

If his state of mind had not changed after his resurrection, it would have been difficult for him to discover these things. The original Orochimaru was just one of the struggling creatures, and perhaps he would eventually become nutrients for a fruitful outcome.

Looking at the Impure World Form of Hanzo of the Salamander that was forcing Yan Liu into a desperate situation, Orochimaru was about to take action when he suddenly had a thought and stopped his actions.

"Mizuki's student? Great, let me see what's so great about him!"

Although it is insignificant, Orochimaru will not seek trouble if it can avoid the risk of exposing his identity.

The Fifth Army is not composed only of some unknown weaklings. Although it is the weakest of the five main combat forces of the Shinobi Alliance, it also has some brave ones. In addition to Yanliu, the samurai commanders Okisuke and Rikkaku of the Iron Country are both good fighters, but they are not able to help because they cannot withstand strong poisons. After all, samurai are not as strong as ninjas.

There is also the powerful Yamanaka Ino. With her current strength, she is still unable to use mental techniques to deal with Hanzo of the Salamander, but she learned some basics of sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu from Mizuki, and also took some courses from Tsunade. At least she has a skill. If it weren't for this little girl's treatment, the weak Fifth Army would have suffered heavy casualties, as the toxicity of the Salamander is no joke.

Others, such as the mother and daughter Inuzuka Tsumugi and Inuzuka Hana, who had interactions with Mizuki, also had mediocre fighting capabilities.

What people are most looking forward to are Mizuki’s students.

Because of the characteristics of her soft fist, Hyuga Hinata was assigned to the second unit's close combat team. Aburame Shino and Inuzuka Kiba were naturally transferred to the fifth unit where secret ninjas gathered.

…

"Shino, your parasite hasn't adapted to the enemy's venom yet? The captain looks like he's about to be overwhelmed!"

He wanted to kill the enemy, but he could only watch his leader fight alone. This feeling made Inuzuka Kiba extremely tormented.

Although the powerful Yan Liu could temporarily withstand the poison with his strong body and superb chakra control, he certainly could not last long. The fact that the sword in his hand, which was originally wielded with impeccable force, was slowly becoming sluggish was proof of this.

Among the weaker team members, only Aburame Shino is able to control the parasites, consuming a large amount of chakra to hatch a large number of parasites in a short period of time to continuously attack the poisonous contaminated area, and then reproduce the parasites that survived by chance in large numbers.

By repeating this process over and over again, enough resistant parasites have been accumulated to effectively offset the effects of the Salamander Hanzo's poison, and thus help Yan Liu resist the powerful enemy together.

"It's almost there, don't worry, the parasite has developed resistance to the poison, but the chakra consumption in a short period of time is too great... Let me catch my breath."

Aburame Shino threw a few precious pills into his mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them. His expression was hidden under his hood and sunglasses, but a hint of fatigue was still revealed on his face.

"The enemy is not something we can contend with right now, so don't act recklessly..."

"I know, Shino!"

Inuzuka Kiba, who couldn't wait any longer, said confidently.

"Don't worry, I know the name of 'Demi-God'. Even the elite jonin may not be able to deal with such a person. Just look at that stern-looking Mist Ninja uncle. Although he is difficult to get along with, his strength is indeed beyond words, but he is still no match for him!"

Having a frivolous personality does not mean that he has no combat wisdom. Inuzuka Kiba does have the ability to judge the strength of the enemy and himself. Mizuki has taught his students this ability more than once.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is the most important focus in all battles.

"In short, don't be careless!"

After her chakra was restored, Aburame Shino raised her hands slightly, and a large group of parasitic insects flew out from her sleeves, enveloping Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru.

"Follow the plan. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately..."

"I know. I've told you so many times that you are now the captain of Team 8!"

The arrogant Inuzuka Kiba was not very convinced of Aburame Shino, but on the battlefield, Inuzuka Kiba still knew that he should try his best to obey the orders of his superiors.
