"Hanzō of the Salamander, you've lost your mind!"
"Do you really think the Suna won't retaliate? Even without us, destroying your Land of Rain would be easy!"
"Hah. What a joke."
Hanzō stepped forward, sickle in hand, his voice cold.
"Do you really think I'd give Sunagakure that chance?"
"I already said it, didn't I? I'll personally visit Sunagakure one day. When I do, tell me—how many of you do you think will still be alive?"
"And if that's not enough, I'll simply ask Iwagakure to help me set up a sealing barrier. Lock Sunagakure inside, then I'll wear it down with Water Style and poison mist."
"Trust me—they won't refuse."
"Sunagakure… I'd like to see just how long you last in my hands."
"If even one of you escapes, I'll consider it my loss."
Hanzō knew Sunagakure's defenses well.
Back then, when Gaara was taken by Deidara, the entire village stood helplessly below—unable to stop him. Their only support was explosive-tag artillery.
In the end, only Kankurō had chased after him.
Even accounting for internal betrayal at the time, their defensive capability was laughable. At best, it bought time.
And now?
Yes, wartime defenses were stronger—but Sunagakure was still the weakest of the Five Great Nations. Poor resources, shallow foundation.
Hanzō wasn't afraid of them in the slightest.
"Now that I possess the Lightened Boulder and Weighted Boulder Jutsus, I can fly," he continued calmly.
"And as far as I know, the only aerial combatant in Sunagakure is the Third Kazekage."
"As for Rasa… he's still just a child."
"That Kekkei Genkai is mine to take."
"And Scorch Release—Pakura's as well."
With that, Hanzō extended his hand toward the Third Kazekage and Chiyo.
Chakra surged outward.
This was the result of his fusion of Lightened Boulder and Weighted Boulder Jutsu—
Using massive chakra reserves, Sage-level control, and sensory-field precision, he condensed two infinitesimally small earth-style cores.
Then—
He applied Super-Weighted Jutsu to both.
They spun at immeasurable speed, forming artificial gravity gyros.
—
Earth Style: Gravity Domain – Draw
Like the Rinnegan's Universal Pull, an invisible force seized the battlefield.
The Third Kazekage and Chiyo suddenly lost control of their bodies.
They were dragged forward—
Pulled toward Hanzō's outstretched palm as though it were a gravitational singularity.
"M-Monster…!"
The Kazekage's eyes widened in terror.
He was floating—but completely immobilized.
"What kind of jutsu is this?!"
Chiyo, however, remained composed.
"…Interesting."
Hanzō blinked in mild surprise.
Even in this state, she could still resist.
His Byakugan saw everything.
Hidden mechanisms lined her body.
She forced her mouth open—
A nozzle extended.
"Flame Prison Formation!"
A thin jet of fire shot toward Hanzō.
At the same time, her arms unfolded like parasols, covered in dense sealing arrays.
"Thousand-Hand Performance!"
Purple light flared.
Dozens of miniature spatial gates opened as black puppet arms burst out and lunged at Hanzō.
"Human puppet… impressive control."
Hanzō remained calm.
His speed alone could evade everything—
and he had already seen it all coming.
"Water Style: Chaotic Blades"
"Sage Art: Flowing Air Convergence"
Water blades erupted instantly, slicing the puppet arms apart.
The flames evaporated before reaching him.
A faint blue chakra halo surrounded his body.
This was his self-created technique—modeled after Naruto's Frog Kumite.
By manipulating natural energy through air currents, he created an invisible attack-and-defense layer.
But with Water Style saturating the battlefield, that chakra became visible—forming a pale blue aura.
The flames vanished into a swirling vortex of chakra.
"Ten-Finger Needle Barrage!"
Chiyo fired poisoned needles.
Hanzō flicked his heel.
Water splashed upward, intercepting them all.
"You really don't stop, do you?"
"You think I can't see the mechanisms inside your body with my Byakugan?"
Chiyo smirked.
"Arrogant as ever. Puppet jutsus aren't that simple."
The severed puppet arms exploded.
Purple poison mist engulfed the air.
"Poison gas?" Hanzō frowned.
"Are you serious? You think that works on me?"
Then—
Pain.
A burning sensation spread across his skin.
His chakra instinctively surged outward like a cloak.
"…Not bad," he admitted.
Five chakra flames ignited on his fingers—
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
He slammed his palm forward.
"Five Pronged Seal!"
The seal struck Chiyo's chest.
Her body instantly went limp—like a puppet with its strings cut.
The core mechanism controlling her body had been sealed.
Hanzō snapped his fingers.
The three hovering water dragons fused into one massive sphere.
"Gravity Domain: Compress."
"Sage Art – Water Style: Wrath of the Sea God."
At the center of the sphere, gravity collapsed inward.
The water compressed again and again.
Until—
A solid crystal formed.
Its temperature soared.
Nearly 2,000 degrees Celsius.
Cracks spread across its surface.
Hanzō was visibly straining—this alone consumed nearly a third of his chakra.
Then—
The gravity inverted.
The crystal shattered.
Thousands of glowing fragments scattered across the battlefield, refracting sunlight like a burning rainbow.
For a moment—
It was beautiful...
Then hell descended.
Each fragment carried extreme heat.
The water below ignited.
Steam exploded into flame.
Hydrogen and oxygen separated violently.
The battlefield turned into an inferno.
Ninja screamed as they were vaporized.
Bodies ignited and collapsed into ash.
"Water Release…?"
"No," Hanzō's voice echoed.
"This is annihilation."
Chiyo and the Third Kazekage were engulfed.
Their clothes burned away instantly.
Their bodies scorched.
Only Chiyo's puppet body prevented instant death.
She dragged the Kazekage into the water and fled, propulsion mechanisms firing wildly.
Hanzō clenched his fist.
The water surged after them.
"I wont let a single one escape."
"Kill."
