Chapter 233: The Gentleman's Transformation
After years of recuperation, the ninja world has finally recovered from the devastation of the First Shinobi World War.
The Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage have also died.
Ōnoki has completely consolidated his position as Tsuchikage, and his ambitions are growing, with the intention of expanding his territory.
The Third Kazekage, having just ascended to a high position, also urgently needed a war to establish his authority.
In addition, the economic development of various countries is unbalanced, and the militant faction in the ninja village has taken advantage of the situation to rise, clamoring to expand its territory by force.
Within Amegakure, Hanzo the Salamander had completely seized control of the nation's war machine and subsequently launched a brutal purge of dissidents.
In the dimly lit, secret room, Hanzo the Salamander sat cross-legged, eyes closed, waiting for someone to arrive.
Before long, a figure dressed in a black robe and wearing an orange swirling mask appeared quietly.
As soon as Afei appeared, he roared with boundless rage, "Hanzo the Salamander! What do you want? Are you trying to devour your master?"
He never expected that Hanzo of the Salamander would so brazenly mobilize a large army of ninjas to uproot the Akatsuki organization that he had built from scratch.
Countless Akatsuki members were brutally slaughtered, and the intelligence network he had painstakingly built over many years was also reduced to ashes.
"Hehehe..."
Hanzo the Salamander slowly opened his eyes, his usual respectful demeanor completely gone, replaced by undisguised arrogance.
"Hehe, Mr. Yuan, I thought you were so mysterious and unpredictable, but now it seems you're nothing special."
Hanzo the Salamander glanced at Fei indifferently, his eyes no longer showing any respect.
In his view, once the veil of mystery was torn away, this man who called himself "Yuan" was nothing more than an ordinary person who used his invulnerability to play tricks.
In terms of true skill and cunning, they are no match for me.
Hanzo the Salamander even felt that this man named Tobi might be a child, very naive.
It's just that this little kid likes to act, likes to pretend to be a profound and unfathomable person.
"What do you mean?!"
"I'm the one who raised you!"
Ah Fei's voice was low, full of incomprehension and anger.
As a novice, he couldn't understand why Hanzo the Salamander would suddenly betray him.
He always believed that as long as he imitated the actions of the Great Sage of Mount Myōboku, he could strategize and control the whole situation.
During his years at Mount Myōboku, he had grown accustomed to the way the great sages controlled the world from behind the scenes, and he always felt that as long as he used both kindness and severity, he could make others wholeheartedly serve him.
But reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
"......"
Ah Fei remained silent for a moment, then pretended to be in complete control.
"Hehehe, Hanzo the Salamander, very good..."
"Since that's the case, then I'll take care of you first. Training you will take several years, but dealing with you will only take a few seconds..."
Ah Fei clapped his hands with a smile.
Hanzo the Salamander frowned, instinctively intimidated by the guy again.
But immediately afterward, Hanzo the Salamander swung his scythe and attacked Tobi!
The scythe, accompanied by a sharp, whistling sound, cleaved straight at his face, its cold gleam drawing a chilling arc in the dimly lit chamber.
The smile on Afei's lips hadn't faded, but his figure swayed slightly, like a reflection in water.
The sharp blade pierced straight through his neck without drawing a drop of blood, only striking the cold stone wall behind him, sending shards of stone falling in a flurry.
"A trivial skill."
Hanzo's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, the chain at the end of the scythe handle lashed out like a venomous snake, wrapping around Afei's waist. At the same time, his left hand formed a hand seal as fast as lightning.
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
A torrent of water suddenly appeared, filling the small, enclosed room and transforming into countless water needles that shot out into the sky.
But neither the chains nor the water needles passed through Afei's body without any hindrance, hitting the opposite wall and splashing up a lot of water.
"I told you, it only takes me a few seconds to deal with you."
Ah Fei's voice was mocking, and his figure moved left and right in the flowing water like a ghost.
He suddenly raised his hand, flicked his palm, and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"
Suddenly, black wooden spikes burst from the ground beneath Hanzo's feet, whistling as they pierced his limbs and bones.
Hanzo's pupils contracted sharply, and he unleashed his Body Flicker Technique, his figure flashing backward in the blink of an eye. His scythe danced in front of him, forming an impenetrable shield of light that severed all the wooden spikes that approached him.
Even so, a sharp splinter still managed to tear his sleeve, leaving a shallow bloodstain on his arm.
"Wood Release?"
Hanzo's expression finally changed. He stared intently at Tobi, his eyes revealing disbelief for the first time: "You actually know the bloodline limit of the Second Hokage, Hashirama Senju!"
He then realized that he had underestimated the masked man.
I didn't expect this person to know Wood Release.
"Hopefully this guy isn't a one-to-one replica of the Second Hokage's Wood Release technique. If he is..."
Hanzo the Salamander squinted slightly, deep in thought.
At this moment, Tobi appears to be in complete control, but in reality, his Wood Release is relatively weak, and he can only use techniques such as Wood Release: Pole Insertion and ordinary Wood Release.
Just when the two were locked in a stalemate...
On the other hand, Madara Uchiha and others gained control of White Zetsu and used it to send out ninjas throughout the ninja world.
These White Zetsu are feigning to be controlled by Madara Uchiha.
In reality, he was a spy planted by Manji to monitor Madara Uchiha and others and to pass on intelligence.
"A stone tablet? Where did Madara Uchiha get a stone tablet...?"
Wanci frowned as he looked at the intelligence report.
White Zetsu just sent intelligence saying that Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan and summoned the Gedo Mazo.
The motivation came from the stone tablet.
But Wanci is someone who lived through that era.
Neither they themselves, Hagoromo, nor Kaguya left behind any so-called stone tablet.
Manji never intended for Madara Uchiha to awaken the Rinnegan in the first place.
This is also why Manji was the First Hokage.
He deliberately pretended not to know that Hashirama cells could alleviate the effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Fine, I'll see what Madara's up to..."
Wanci did not intend to stop it immediately, but instead planned to wait and see what would happen.
Then he closed his eyes ten thousand times and activated the Eight-Foot Immortal Technique.
Upon opening my eyes
They arrived at a Konoha training ground.
"Ten thousand times? Ten thousand times? What are you spacing out for? Didn't we agree to train together?"
Sakumo Hatake looked at Manji with a puzzled expression.
"Sorry, I was just spacing out."
After his expression remained unchanged for ten thousand years, he personally used the Eight-Foot Immortal Technique to set up his identity and immediately nodded.
I used the same old trick.
This time, the character is set as a genius from Konoha.
He and Sakumo Hatake are known as the two geniuses of Konoha.
"Well, I heard war is coming soon. I wonder if we'll be sent to the battlefield..."
Sakumo Hatake said as he threw out a kunai.
"Where there are high mountains, there are roads for travelers; where there are deep rivers, there are ferrymen."
"Sakumo, with our talents, we certainly have a place to use them."
Wanci calmly formed hand seals and unleashed a Wind Release technique at the large tree in front of him: "Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"
