In the southern part of the Rain Country, there is a deep and dense forest.

A huge explosion completely broke the silence, followed by earth-shaking shouts of killing, which frightened the birds and beasts and made them flee frantically.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless figures were running back and forth in the woods, countless shurikens and poison needles were whizzing through the air, interweaving with each other in the crackling rain, accompanied by muffled groans from time to time, and occasional blood dyed the rain curtain red.

The rain fell heavily, constantly washing away the bright red bloodstains and blending them into the soil.

At this moment, a grey figure broke through the rain curtain and shuttled through the crowd at an unimaginable speed. Sharp black and golden light flashed frequently around its body, and every time it passed by, a life was harvested.

Such a powerful reaper naturally quickly attracted the attention of others.

The wind was whistling as three figures in black robes flew over the bushes and blocked the Reaper's way at the same speed. They raised their slender arms and attacked with knives, axes and hammers at different angles!

“Crack…”

As they raised their hands, their joints began to twist in strange arcs, accompanied by strange sounds of vibrations from mechanisms, and the cold blades slashed down mercilessly, cutting off the Reaper's attack.

With a "ding" sound, sparks flew everywhere.

The Reaper snorted coldly, and only then did everyone realize that the weapon in his hand was a sickle wrapped with a long chain, which was chilling.

The two men in black robes opened their mouths at the same time, and a rain of poisonous needles poured out, forcing the Reapers back.

The Reaper flipped over three times in a row to distance himself from the person coming. Under the gas mask, a pair of sharp eyes scanned the person coming.

His gaze passed over the men in black robes, who were just three puppets, and at the same time penetrated the dense rainforest and locked onto a short middle-aged woman.

The woman walked lightly and appeared from the darkness. She raised her hand slightly, and three black-robed puppets slowly floated up and stood on her left and right.

"Chiyo, as a puppeteer, hiding in the dark is your best option." The Reaper spoke slowly, his voice low and cold.

"Hmph, do you want me to sit back and watch my subordinates being killed one by one by you, Hanzo?" the woman snorted coldly.

Hanzo shook his sickle, and the chain creaked. "You Sand Ninjas acted recklessly and invaded our territory. You deserve death."

Chiyo remained unmoved and spoke sharply, "The strong prey on the weak. This is the law of nature and the law of the ninja world. The Rain Country is rich in water resources. What's wrong with ceding a part of it to us?"

"What a law of the jungle! Is this the reason why you all retreated during the last Ninja World War?" Hanzo narrowed his eyes slightly, "You and I both know how unworthy it is for the Sand Village to be among the top five ninja villages."

Chiyo's face was gloomy, and the black-robed puppets behind him all vibrated and made a "cackling" sound. "I have to say, as the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, your tone is very arrogant, but! No matter how despicable the Sand Ninja you are talking about is, it is enough to deal with you guys who are not worthy of being on the stage!"

"Are you kidding?" Hanzo's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm. "Since I officially declared war, I have already destroyed dozens of your bases. It won't be long before you and your group of defeated soldiers are driven out of the Rain Country."

He raised his head slightly, his breathing behind the mask rough and heavy, "Perhaps on a whim, it's not impossible for me to invade the Kingdom of Wind."

Hearing these provocative words, Chiyo laughed instead of getting angry: "Invading our Wind Country? Are you so capable? Aren't you afraid that your ally will take advantage of your army's departure to launch an attack and destroy the Hidden Rain Village directly?"

Hanzo remained silent, his face hidden behind the mask showing an uncertain expression.

"Do you really think those guys in Konoha are good people? They are just a group of thugs who claim to be righteous and invade everywhere under the guise of peace. Their essence is no different from us!"

Chiyo's voice gradually rose: "Leaving the western battlefield completely to Konoha and trusting them completely to resist the Rock Ninja is your most wrong decision!"

Hanzo's voice gradually turned cold, "Chiyo, it seems that you only learned puppetry from your master. Other than that, you are useless."

"what?"

"Humph, you don't even know the simplest military tactics? At a time like this, the more you sow discord and attack people's hearts, the more it proves that... your Sand Village can't hold on any longer!"

Just as he finished speaking, he stepped on the ground, the puddle suddenly spread out, and his whole body turned into a beam of afterimage, violently smashed the rain curtain and rushed in front of Chiyo, holding the cold sickle high!

In May of the 37th year of Konoha, Hanzo officially joined the battlefield, announcing the official start of the Second Ninja World War.

Unlike the original four-way chaos in the sky, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village reached an alliance and launched an invasion of the Rain Country from the south and west respectively, attempting to disperse the Rain Ninja forces, expand the territory of the Rain Country as quickly as possible, establish a military base, and prepare for subsequent plans.

But with the help of Konoha, the invading Iwagakure were quickly stopped in the western part of the Rain Country, and Hanzo was able to divert his energy and concentrate all his firepower to fight against the Sand Ninja.

The four directions were divided into two major battlefields, the western and southern ones, and more than a dozen small battlefields were divided around them. Elite troops were sent to each other, including various reconnaissance departments, combat departments, and beheading departments. After fighting for several months, the Fengtu Alliance gradually lost its strength, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards the Fire and Rain countries...

"Iai Slash!"

A faint and slender blade light cut through the rain, splitting the three puppets in half, tearing the black robe and scattering the parts.

Chiyo suddenly ducked her body, and dodged the attack with fear. This sword-drawing move was extremely fast. If the target had not been her own puppet, she would probably have died on the spot under the opponent's sword.

But if Hanzo chooses to kill himself, he will also be hit in the vitals by the puppet, and it will be a complete life in exchange for life.

It seems that the opponent is not only powerful, but also extremely cautious. In her mind, Hanzo's level of danger has risen to a higher level again.

His mind raced, but Chiyo acted without hesitation. He dodged the sword light and with a wave of his sleeve, three kunai shot out in the shape of a Chinese character "品", piercing the air and pointing directly at Hanzo's eyes and brows.

Hanzo had already drawn his sickle, and there was no chance to put it away at this moment, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he pulled the chain that was stretched straight in front of him with both hands.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Sparks suddenly appeared and kunai flew away.

"Soul-binding sickle, second attack!"

Hanzo took advantage of the situation and swung out his sickle, chopping it fiercely at Chiyo's crown from top to bottom. His wide-open and wide-opening posture was very much like a fisherman casting a net at sea. The blade flashed, and it appeared in a flash!

However, just when Chiyo was about to be split in half, the sickle strangely stopped above her head and returned to zero in an instant.

Hanzo was surprised that an invisible force was struggling with him, causing the chains to tremble continuously.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that his weapon had been tightly entangled by several chakra threads as thin as an ox hair, and the source of the threads was Chiyo's hands!

"Could it be the kunai just now?" He immediately guessed the reason.

Puppetry: Manipulation of the Blade, using silk threads to control the kunai and launch it at the enemy. If the attack misses, the silk threads can be attached to the enemy's body when the kunai hits the enemy, making it hard to defend against. This is the specialty of puppet masters like Chiyo.

"Practice: Flowing Cut!" Chiyo put her five fingers together, and her hands flashed with blue light. Then she pulled hard, and five imperceptible silk threads instantly passed through the air and cut Hanzo's neck without any hindrance, just like cutting a piece of tofu.

But Hanzo's head did not fall to the ground. What caught Chiyo's eyes was a pool of spilled water. The water gathered dozens of meters away and instantly condensed into Hanzo's body.

"This is... Water Instant Body!!"

Hanzo didn't hesitate, his eyes flashing with coldness, "At this distance..."

The moment he landed, he formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground, "Fire Style: Exploding Flame Formation!"

Chiyo was startled for a moment, the ground beneath her feet suddenly squirmed, and the mud mixed with rain water soon swallowed up her feet.

When it spread to her calves, she suddenly realized that it was not mud, but burning detonating talismans!

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, flames appeared, accompanied by a loud bang, and a whirlwind tore through the rain curtain.

The thick black smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the situation inside.

Chiyo did not lose her legs, nor was she blown to pieces. Instead, her entire body was enveloped in a circle of mellow blue light.

"Puppetry: Mechanical Light Shield."

Her legs began to deform before the explosion, the skin cracked, the bearings rotated, and they quickly gathered outward to form a shield, supporting the chakra light shield.

"Hanzo, this is really not simple..."

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a deep shout came from Hanzo's position.

"Psychic!!!"

The white smoke dissipated, and a giant salamander with a dark gray body stood proudly on the battlefield!
