Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Nagato responded with the same calm statement:

"Shenra Tianzheng."

With a hum, Yuan Xingyu's two water clones were instantly blasted away by this powerful repulsive force.

boom!boom!

After flying straight into the mountain, it turned into two pools of water.

Yuan Xingyu thought to himself, "Does this ninjutsu have no weaknesses?"

He just used Water Clone and Water Dragon Bullet, two ninjutsu that consumed more than half of his chakra.

Now, he dares not make a move easily.

Seeing that Yuan Xingyu didn't move, Nagato knew that he had no choice but to take the initiative.

As he rushed forward, he formed three hand seals, and a gust of wind appeared beside him:

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

"Just a C-rank Wind Release technique? That's nothing to worry about." Yuan Xingyu quickly drew his ninja sword to parry.

call--

Tiny wind blades were hidden within this seemingly ordinary C-rank wind jutsu. Yuan Xingyu's eyes widened suddenly: "No! This is a C-rank wind jutsu of nature transformation level!"

The power of a ninjutsu that hasn't developed its nature transformation is completely different from that of a ninjutsu that has.

The former, C-level wind escapades, can mostly only create pressure and hinder movement.

The latter, once the nature transformation is mastered, can cause common wind-attribute damage even with a C-rank wind jutsu.

The deeper one's mastery of nature transformation, the more chakra one possesses, the more likely one is to unleash the power of B-rank, A-rank, or even S-rank Wind Release techniques, even if they are only C-rank!

At this moment, Nagato's C-rank Wind Release technique is actually A-rank in power!

"Ahhh-"

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Yuan Xingyu was slashed all over by the continuous wind blades. He endured the excruciating pain and formed hand seals to create a water wall to block the attack. He then took the opportunity to dive into the water.

The blood-stained water was gradually washed away and dimmed by the slowly flowing river.

Nagato stopped using his ninjutsu and looked ahead.

At this moment, a water clone appeared behind them.

"Die!"

Nagato slightly turned his body, this time refraining from using Shinra Tensei to interfere with the opponent's intelligence gathering.

After dodging the vertical slash from behind, another water clone appeared:

"His technique is useless now! This is a golden opportunity!"

With another water clone joining the battle, Nagato is under some pressure...

He decisively took out a kunai, exhaled a breath of wind-style chakra, and a white wisp appeared on the kunai...

"Wind Release·Wind Blade!"

stab-

Dodging an attack from a water clone, the wind blade severed one of the water clone's ninja swords, slicing through its front...

Wow!

The water instantly transformed into flowing water.

Even as the last water clone joined the battle, Nagato was still able to handle it with ease.

Yuan Xingyu's true form emerged from the water to get some air and witnessed this scene:

"wrong."

"My clone was behind me just now; he couldn't possibly have seen it..."

"But why..."

"Wait a minute!"

Yuan Xingyu looked up and realized that the birds that Nagato had summoned earlier were watching their battle from the sky.

"I understand!"

"Eye contact empathy?!"

call out--

Gensei used Water Instantaneous Movement to accelerate and appear to the side, dodging the wind blade thrown by Nagato.

At this moment, Nagato dealt with the last water clone and stood on the floor, saying, "You guessed right."

“But it doesn’t make sense.”

"Because our strength is on a completely different level."

"It's time to end this battle."

This time, Nagato formed the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique, creating four shadow clones.

"Let me show you."

"My true power!"

Nagato forms the Wind Release hand seals, while his clones form the Fire, Earth, Water, and Lightning hand seals respectively...

"Five Escapes: The Technique of Large Continuous Bullets!"

In the narrow riverbed, a series of five elemental combinations of ninjutsu appeared ahead.

"This, this is!!"

A Rain Village ninja watched this scene in utter shock. He was a Root ninja and a Konoha spy.

"That's clearly the Third Hokage's signature ninjutsu!! How come this kid knows it too?!"

"And it can unleash such power..."

Only one word occupied his mind—shadow.

Seeing his expression, the Amegakure ninja next to him couldn't help but tug at his sleeve: "Don't be too sad. Even if it's not Lord Hanzo who leads Amegakure, the new leader shouldn't make things difficult for us Chunin."

Root's special Jonin: "..."

-

A cloud of dust settled, and at the mouth of the gorge on both sides of the river, Yuan Xingyu's body lay on the flowing water, slowly drifting towards the end of the river...

"The battle is over." Nagato sighed slightly. He hadn't expected the Amegakure ninjas to be so troublesome; they truly lived up to their reputation as assassin ninjas.

Plop—

"go to hell!!"

Covered in blood and almost disfigured, Yuan Xingyu burst out from under the floor beneath Nagato's feet!

The broken ninja sword was aimed at Nagato's back; if it took another second, Nagato would die!

Nagato's lips twitched slightly, and he unleashed his signature ninjutsu: "Shinra Tensei!"

boom! ! !

This time, Gen Hoshino's ninja sword broke completely, and the flying blade pierced the front of his neck. He stared at Nagato in front of him with unseeing eyes before flying away.

puff--

After rolling a long distance on the arena stage, he breathed his last.

Yuan Xingyu's last gaze was fixed on the sky, a truly poignant death.

"To convince me, the original body was hit by the attack, leaving only its upper garment behind, and at the crucial moment, it used Water Substitution and Transformation Techniques..."

At this moment, Yuan Xingyu, who had just been covered in blood on the river, was now wearing a tattered shirt.

"But it's a pity."

"Being in the center of the battlefield, with all my firepower at its peak, I am able to observe important details."

He might not be able to see accurately from a distance, but on the battlefield, at such close range, it's definitely not a problem.

"Three wins and one loss."

"It seems to be over."

After seeing Takumi's victory, Shirahoshi knew that Hanzo wouldn't even get overtime.

"Master, no! Omnipotent Lord! Please allow me, Yahiko, to fight Leader Hanzo!" Yahiko pleaded.

Shirahoshi looked down at Yahiko. "Are you serious?"

“Of course!” Yahiko said firmly, his gaze sweeping across the river to Hanzo, whose face was grim, and the numerous Rain Ninja.

"As the organizer and leader of this revolutionary army... Secondly, there is the grudge against Xiao Nan."

I must accomplish this myself!! This is the ninja way I must now fulfill!!! Hanzo, can you hear me?!

At this moment, regardless of whether Yahiko wins or loses, Hanzo's Amegakure forces have already lost.

Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Hanzo's face aged considerably. "Then let's have one last battle! Boss Yahiko!"

At this moment, Hanzo understood that although Nagato might be stronger, the fact that his leader was Yahiko was enough to demonstrate the strength of the other organization's faith.

At this moment, he acknowledged Yahiko's identity. He would test the power of the new Amegakure leader against the old Amegakure leader!

"bring it on!"

"I've waited so long for this battle!!"

After Shirahoshi repaired the arena, Yahiko hurriedly landed, and Hanzo followed suit.

Before descending, Hanzo told his subordinates behind him, "No matter what my fate is, do not rebel against Yahiko and the others."

Many of the Rain Ninja understood Hanzo's determination and responded with "Yes."

Hanzo, who had intended for this canyon to become Yahiko's grave, now finds that graveyard becoming his own...
