The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

Hanzo kept swinging the chain in his left hand, making the defense around him impenetrable. The attacking huge shurikens were continuously knocked to the ground and scattered into a pile of fragments.

Hanzo's chakra gradually began to boil while he was running, and the chakra in his body continued to gather towards his right hand. Then a huge chakra blade energy slashed heavily in the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Swordsmanship: Breaking through the air with a sword!!!"

The surging sword energy instantly broke through the dense group of shurikens and slashed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen without any loss of momentum.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not panicked at all. Now was still the stage of testing each other. After all, which ninja would start with a big move right away? Standing still, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly began to make hand seals. The three hand seals were completed in an instant: Si-Hai-Xu.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and spat out a ball of soil that was transformed from earth attribute chakra. Then it quickly turned into a brown earth wall that blocked his way.

"boom!"

The sword energy arrived in an instant and slashed at the earth wall. After a moment of stalemate, the earth wall was shattered, but the power contained in the sword energy was almost exhausted.

Hanzo, who had used his sword energy to clear the way, also came to Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time, picked up the sickle in his hand and slashed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's neck fiercely. Sarutobi Hiruzen ducked to avoid the attack, and then used a sweeping kick to attack Hanzo's lower body.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen suffered from the disadvantage of having no weapon, and could only hold a kunai to face Hanzo's sickle and resist it. After several fights, Sarutobi Hiruzen's Hokage robe was cut several times.

Under Hanzo's pressure, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to cast a seal several times but to no avail. Finally, he had no choice but to expose a flaw to Hanzo, used earth escape to harden his body, took Hanzo's slash, and used the force to retreat quickly.

The people watching the fight were talking about it. Although both sides were just testing each other and had not yet shown their true strength, Hanzo's nonchalance and Sarutobi Hiruzen's rather embarrassed appearance still made everyone shocked by Hanzo's powerful strength.

Having escaped from Hanzo's sickle attack range, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly took off his Hokage robe, revealing a tight black combat suit underneath. The combat suit's shoulders were equipped with silver protective gear with the word "fire" engraved on the back, and the back was equipped with two vertical ninja tool bags. The waist was tied with a purple silk ribbon, and the arms and calves were equipped with mesh wrist guards, and the right arm was equipped with green layered armor.

Then he slowly took off the Hokage hat on his head, revealing the ninja hat with green laminated armor on both sides. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the two super long straps behind the hat also fluttered in the wind. Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Hanzo calmly: "There is no point in boring mutual testing. Show your true strength, Hanzo!"

After the fight just now, Hanzo had some idea of ​​Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength.

"Well, the second round begins!" As Hanzo finished his words, the ninjutsu he had prepared in his hand was also sealed.

"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"

"He's so powerful that he can use water escape on such a large scale in a place without water!" Someone among the spectators exclaimed.

The simple B-level ninjutsu was used with the effect of A-level in Hanzo's hands, and the surging water waves rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen. Seeing the range of the jutsu was so large, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he could no longer hide, so he decisively stayed where he was and began to make hand seals.

"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"

As an upgraded version of the Earth Flow Wall, it normally requires several earth-style ninjas to work together to use it, but Sarutobi Hiruzen used it easily alone, and he lived up to his title of Ninjutsu Professor.

The earthen wall rose up from the ground like a castle wall, standing firmly on the ground without being washed away, forcing the water to bypass it. Hanzo looked up and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen standing on it.

"Fire Escape: The Art of Fierce Flames!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a high position and used the secret fire-style ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the Sarutobi clan. The fierce high-temperature flames quickly fell towards Hanzo.

Hanzo, who had already created a suitable combat environment, did not want to confront the enemy. He put one hand in front of his chest, burst out with chakra, and then disappeared on the spot.

"Water Escape·Water Instant!"

Seeing Hanzo's instantaneous escape, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. It turned out that when he used the earth flow wall to block the attack, Hanzo's vision was also blocked. Sarutobi Hiruzen took the opportunity to create two shadow clones and hid underground using earth escape.

Hanzo dodged instantly and just stood still when one of Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clones appeared behind him and attacked Hanzo in the face.

"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"

A sharp spear of lightning was fired from the shadow clone's mouth and pierced through Hanzo.

Hanzo felt the intense chakra fluctuations coming from behind and quickly dodged, but was still hit on the left arm by Pseudo-An. Although he was not injured, the numbness from the lightning still slowed down Hanzo's movements.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had succeeded in one strike, was ready to make another attack. Another shadow clone that had just hidden appeared beside him and began to form hand seals at the same time as him.
