Chapter 885 Then your teacher's butt must be even more amazing.
"Beep-beep-beep-"
Bang!
"Hey."
Hearing the hoarse male voice on the other end of the phone, Hydrangea, holding the landline receiver, seemed to have mustered some courage and spoke in a serious tone.
"Does the price we discussed last time still stand?"
"Honest with young and old, honest with everyone, who is the target?"
The man's answer sounded somewhat casual, indicating that he had been working in the industry for a long time and was not worried about ruining the order due to his attitude.
"The Third Tsuchikage".
"."
Upon hearing the name, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Just when Hydrangea thought the other party would be intimidated by the Third Tsuchikage's reputation and halt the transaction, the man's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of inexplicable emotion compared to his previous nonchalant tone.
"You'll have to pay more."
"no problem!"
Hydrangea's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and she quickly sent over the battlefield's coordinates.
"It's quite far. If we use the usual way of traveling, it will probably take a day or two."
“I can pay more.”
Understanding the meaning behind the man's words on the other end of the phone in a second, Hydrangea immediately gave the correct answer.
"I love clients like you. I'll take off right now and be there in five minutes."
"and many more!"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Hearing a faint, noisy electronic sound through the microphone, Hydrangea looked around to make sure no one was listening, then covered the microphone and whispered...
Regarding the amount on the expense invoice.
"Oh, I understand~ I understand, just give me a percentage back later."
"Happy cooperation!"
"Pleasant to work with."
Bang!
After hanging up the phone, Hydrangea breathed a long sigh of relief. If the other party's reputation in the industry wasn't fabricated, then Master Hanzo should be saved.
On the other side, the man who had also hung up turned around and looked at the slightly shy black-haired youth behind him, his eyes full of affection and doting.
"Xiaoyi, are you ready? Grandpa will take you to earn some extra money."
"Grandpa, are you sure you don't need to tell Mother?"
The young man known as Wing looked at the gray driver in his hand with a troubled expression. If he went out with his grandfather like this, he would definitely be beaten by his mother's iron fist when he came back.
"Don't worry, your mom has already agreed to let you go."
"Phew, that's good."
Upon hearing this, Yi's expression relaxed. He quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on his grandfather's shoulder. With a flap of his golden insect wings, the grandfather and grandson instantly transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the waterfall overhead.
"By the way, Grandpa, when did you tell Mother about this? How come I didn't know?"
Mid-air, suddenly remembering something, Yi turned her gaze away from the starry sky and asked curiously,
"I just asked, and it agreed."
"what?"
Feeling the card hanging close to his chest radiating a scorching heat, Yi's expression instantly became incredibly complex.
"It's this mom!?"
"Hehe, which mom isn't a mom? They're all the same~ They're all the same~"
"Lord Hanzo! Lord Hanzo! I know you can hear me. Please hold on for five more minutes! Strong reinforcements are on their way! Please hold on for five more minutes! Strong reinforcements are on their way!"
Five minutes?
Hearing the voice coming from the broken communicator beside his ear, Hanzo, who had been crippled by Onoki's kick, staggered to his feet.
He trusted the hydrangea completely; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted his body to her for modification.
The head, melted by the intense heat, slowly turned towards Xiu, whose face was swollen like a pig's head not far to the side. Although the electronic eye responsible for collecting information was destroyed, a ninja of his caliber could still pinpoint the approximate locations of others using his senses.
"Lord Xiu, are you sober?"
"Lord Hanzo, if you want to escape now, I'm afraid..."
Shu, whose puppet dream had been shattered by Onoki's punch, looked utterly dejected. He glanced at Onoki beating Danzo in the distance and gently shook his head.
"Ugh"
Not only had he failed to complete the task his aunt had assigned him, but he might also lose his life here. The thought of his young, beautiful wife and intelligent, adorable children back in the village filled him with unbearable regret.
"Escape? There are no cowards who run away in Amegakure."
Hanzo straightened his back. He only needed to stall for five more minutes, and the powerful reinforcements that Hydrangea had mentioned would arrive. At that time, everything would be reversed.
"Huh? Are you crazy?"
Seeing Hanzo's arms crippled yet his fighting spirit undiminished, Xiu couldn't help but question him.
At the same time, he was also filled with shame. In terms of resolve, he was no match for Hanzo, much less for Danzo, who was brutally beaten by Onoki but refused to yield even in the face of death.
"Whizzing--"
Hanzo didn't answer such a meaningless question. He looked up at the body parts circling in the sky and asked in a deep voice,
"Lord Xiu, since you are a puppeteer, you should know how to assemble them, right?"
"what?"
Before the bewildered Xiu could speak, Hanzo used the receiver on his torso to control the aerial components to land.
"You want me to help you get a prosthetic leg?"
"Please, I can't give up yet."
Shu gave Hanzo a deep look, his voice resolute. Enduring the sharp pain in his cheek, he got up, took out his tool bag, and skillfully began to disassemble it.
"Click! Click!"
"Still trying to put up a stubborn resistance?"
Hearing the clanging of metal nearby, Onoki slowly released his grip on Danzo's throat, ignoring the man's bruised and swollen face, and casually tossed him aside.
"Snap!—"
"All right!"
At this moment, Xiu had already completed the replacement of his arms. Before the joy on his face could even rise, he felt a scorching heat surge from behind him. Guessing what had happened, his joy instantly turned to sorrow.
"Oh!"
Just then, Hanzo, who had just received his new arm, crouched down and stepped forward, extending two azure lightsabers to firmly block Onoki's giant fist, which was enveloped in dark red lava.
"Lord Xiu, you may go first."
Without turning his head, Hanzo said a sentence, and then blue flames shot out from the joints of his limbs.
"Buzz—Boom!"
With the powerful assistance of the thrusters, he managed to push Onoki back step by step.
Upon seeing this, Xiu's face darkened, and his large hand gripping the screwdriver tightened suddenly.
"Don't underestimate the resolve and eloquence of us Sunagakure people!"
"Shh!"
Xiu tossed aside the wrench and screwdriver in his hand, then pulled eight miniature scrolls from his ninja tool pouch at his waist. Each scroll was marked with a number, arranged in a row from two to nine.
"Come forth, my knightly legion!" Without the slightest hesitation, Xiu tossed eight scrolls into the air. Accompanied by a trail of white smoke, eight knight puppets, perfectly replicas of best-selling knight figurines on the market, appeared.
"Huh? There are teachers too?"
Xiao Zi stared in surprise at the four-tailed puppet knight that looked exactly like Onoki, feeling a pang of resentment. Why wasn't it designed according to Onoki's transformation? She herself was clearly a better fit for Onoki's style after transforming.
"Just a bunch of cheap empty shells."
Over there, Onoki was still surprised by Hanzo's sudden burst of power. After hearing his disciple's voice, he glanced at the eight puppet knights standing in front of Shu, and curled his lip in disdain.
Unlike the puppet knights that He Xiu had just taken out, which could use Shukaku's Magnet Release, these seemingly powerful puppet knights did not have a trace of the corresponding tailed beast chakra in their cores. They were just toys with no substance.
"Snapped!"
After saying this, Onoki raised his other hand and slammed it hard against Hanzo's lightsaber in front of him. The powerful impact instantly sent Hanzo flying.
Hanzo performed several somersaults in the air to dissipate Onoki's monstrous strength, finally landing steadily beside Shu.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiu."
"My art cannot be insulted."
Xiu stared grimly at Onoki, who looked like a god descending to earth. The other man had just repeatedly belittled his meticulously crafted puppet, and Xiu couldn't swallow this humiliation.
"cough cough"
On the other side, Danzo, having caught his breath, also got up and coughed a few times to spit out the blood clot stuck in his throat.
Danzo initially tried to feign weakness and negotiate with Onoki, but the latter didn't give him a chance to speak, grabbing him by the neck and giving him a sound beating.
Fortunately, the Hip Release technique he practiced was a Yang Release secret technique, which greatly improved his physical fitness, allowing him to remain energetic even after being brutally beaten by Onoki's fists.
"Lord Danzo, are you alright?"
"Not as good as you guys."
Looking at Hanzo, who was asking about his injuries, Danzo replied with a dark face,
You two are such noobs, you got wiped out right at the start, and then he got caught and beaten up by Onoki. Sure enough, the one who ended up lying in the front row was the one who got killed.
"Five minutes, no, it's three minutes and fifty-seven seconds now. As long as we can stall until three minutes and fifty-three seconds, my backup will arrive."
Hanzo seemed oblivious to the resentment in Danzo's tone, and spoke coldly,
"Your support? What kind of support can you offer?"
Danzo's eyes twitched upon hearing this. "What decent support could a country bumpkin like you possibly find?"
Rather than trusting Hanzo, Danzo should place his hopes on the retreating Root members. If they can find Senju Hisana, he will be saved.
"I trust my subordinates."
Hanzo didn't answer, only nodding mechanically, leaving Danzo speechless. However, he still turned around and stood in a row with the two, his eyes filled with certainty.
"I believe it too."
Onoki, seeing the three men stand up to confront him once again, was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Heh, since you don't want to obediently hand over your technology, then go and cultivate a relationship with the torture squad of Iwagakure!"
Having said that, he shook his arms, and his entire body transformed into a blazing streak of light, charging straight towards the three of them.
"Knights, stop him!"
Xiu immediately moved his hands rapidly, and the eight silent puppet knights instantly sprang to life, brandishing their uniquely designed weapons and charging forward.
"Snapped!"
However, in just one exchange, the puppets of the Two-Tails and Three-Tails riders charging in front shattered instantly, and were then burned to dust by the Lava Release armor that enveloped Onoki's entire body.
"Phew, thank goodness I didn't buy it."
Danzo, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Xiu hadn't offered to sell it to him. He thought, "This kind of superficial technology is better left to Sunagakure to keep and experiment with themselves."
"I can only hold him off for a minute."
Although Xiu Xin was heartbroken at the loss of two puppets, he still carefully manipulated the other puppets to fight against Onoki, trying to buy more time.
"enough."
Hanzo nodded, raised his arms and crossed them into an X shape. Under the cover of the puppet army, he transformed into a black streak of light and flashed into the battlefield.
"Tsk!"
Seeing the other two fighting desperately with all their might, Danzo glanced back at his almost fully recovered backside, gritted his teeth, and charged out as well.
"Iaijutsu—Slash!"
Onoki, who was toying with the knight puppet like a toy, suddenly felt a chill at his waist. His brow furrowed, and Danzo, wielding a blue lightsaber, burst from a broken puppet, his sharp sword intent aimed directly at Onoki's vulnerable waist.
"Bah!"
At this critical moment, Onoki raised his hands, and scorching lava poured down, forcing Hanzo to change his attack trajectory and narrowly avoid him.
"Hmph! You three are just rotten fish."
"Buttock Escape - Thousand Blade Slash!"
However, a split second before Onoki's smug smile could form on his lips, Danzo, hiding behind Hanzo, twisted his body, his supple buttocks transforming into sharp blades, his sword intent even more intense than that of Hanzo, the sword god of the Land of Rain.
A flash of blade, and blood splattered three feet.
"Pfft!"
"What?!"
With a look of astonishment, Onoki stared in disbelief at the blood spurt at his waist. How could Danzo have broken through his armor with his buttocks when even weapons made of chakra metal couldn't scratch it?
"I never expected that Lord Danzo would also be a sword god."
Although Hanzo, who landed first, couldn't understand Danzo's moves, as a sword god, he could clearly feel the sharp sword intent contained in the attack, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
Danzo, who landed shortly after, wore an arrogant expression upon hearing this, but feigned humility in replying,
"He merely inherited a fraction of his master's legacy."
"Then your teacher's butt must be even more powerful."
"Snap—crack!"
In the distance, Senju Hisama, who had overheard the conversation, suddenly snapped the giant tree in front of her in half, clutched her backside, and, her face flushed, explained to Uchiha Gin, who was grinning mischievously beside her.
"That's bullshit! I never taught that kind of swordsmanship!"
"I believe it~ I believe it~ Your butt isn't as perky as Little Tuan Tuan's."
Uchiha Gin nodded seriously, but the smile in his eyes made Senju Hisami feel uneasy.
"Nonsense! Mine is clearly wrong, why would I explain this to a curly-haired guy like you?"
On this important issue of body shape, Hongwen's Senju Hisa instinctively spoke up in rebuttal, but she realized her mistake halfway through her sentence, her pretty face filled with slight anger.
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. That Onoki guy is definitely not so easy to deal with. The person you mentioned still hasn't arrived. If I don't step in soon, Danzo will be on his deathbed."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, preparing to salvage the situation with a very cool pose and boost her fashion sense.
"Calm down. Are you sure you can save the day in your current state?"
After examining Senju Hishima in her blank form, Uchiha Gin raised his hand with a solemn expression.
"You think I'm no match for that little potato?"
Senju Hisa raised her eyebrows. With her superb Flying Thunder God technique, wouldn't toying with Onoki be as easy as eating?
"What I mean is that you're hurting too much."
"Uh"
Upon hearing this, Senju Hishima fell silent instantly; low damage output was her biggest weakness.
If she were dealing with the Four-Tails, which is like a sitting duck, that would be fine; she could just use her Sea Release technique and beat it until it cried for its mother.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Seeing Uchiha Gin's confident demeanor, Senju Hisami could only swallow her humiliation and bow her head to him.
"Don't panic, the one who delivered the cheat has already arrived, hasn't he?"
Uchiha Gin smiled and pointed to the scattered figures in the distance; these were the Root members retreating from the battlefield.
"Haha, let me show you the most stylish Henshin ever!"
Just as Senju Hisama finished listening to his words and began repeatedly practicing her unique transformation pose, Uchiha Ginko, sensing something, looked up into the distance.
In the pitch-black night sky, a silver dot of light was rapidly approaching.
"However, it seems you won't be using this style for the time being." (End of Chapter)
