If poison is ineffective against Kiyoshi, Hanzo the Salamander can foresee that a very difficult battle is about to begin.

As for the others, Hanzo the Salamander didn't even consider them a threat.

While the red-haired brat with the "Rinnegan" could indeed summon troublesome humanoid monsters, he himself was not able to perfectly control them.

After only a few tries, he was panting heavily, looking completely exhausted.

If Hanzo the Salamander keeps at it, he'll eventually outlast him.

"Unfortunately, to release toxins, defenses must also be strong."

Kiyoshi smiled as he looked at Hanzo the Salamander, who was carrying a chain scythe, with his crimson Sharingan eyes.

The Perfect Physique (Gold) increased his "poison" resistance by 300%, and with the antidote prepared by Kiyoshi, these toxins were as if they didn't exist in Kiyoshi's eyes.

"You won't be able to stay in this state for long."

Hanzo the Salamander also smiled, and his figure instantly disappeared into a puddle of water.

The art of water teleportation!

Hanzo the Salamander knew that "Sage Mode" wouldn't last more than a few minutes. As long as he could get through those few minutes, victory would be his!

click!

His scythe struck Kiyoshi's hand.

Kiyoshi's pale green light layered on his hands like scales, resisting the attack of the scythe.

Hanzo the Salamander pulled the chain off his sickle, retracted it, and continued his attack on Kiyoshi.

In an instant, Kiyoshi conjured a long sword intertwined with lightning and flames, parrying Hanzo's scythe-like attacks one by one.

Click click click click...!

The two wielded their swords with lightning speed, so fast that those around them could only see a blur of flashing blades.

"This kid's swordsmanship is not as good as mine."

This was Hanzo the Salamander's first reaction.

His serious expression relaxed somewhat.

If it's a matter of ranged ninjutsu, he'll be difficult to deal with; but when it comes to close-quarters swordsmanship, no one can compare to him.

Even Mifune, the most skilled samurai swordsman from the neighboring Land of Iron, was defeated by him.

"No...that's not right."

As time went by, Hanzo the Salamander noticed that Kiyoshi's swordsmanship was... improving.

A terrible thought arose in his mind.

He looked at the reflections of things in the puddles where the raindrops fell.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's crimson Sharingan eyes appeared even more eerie, spinning rapidly.

"!"

Hanzo the Salamander was startled; Uchiha Kiyoshi was learning his swordsmanship!

The Uchiha clan did attempt to wage the Second Shinobi World War, but all attempts ended in failure.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, he had long since reached the pinnacle.

Even with a sickle, one can wield it with the feel of a samurai sword.

"Your speed is getting slower and slower, is that all you're capable of?"

Qingsi said calmly.

When the two were fighting, no one dared to get involved, for fear of being beheaded.

To outsiders, all they could see was Kiyoshi and Hanzo's hands becoming blurred.

Then came a series of collisions, sparks flying everywhere.

"Hmph, let's see how you learn this move of mine!"

Hanzo the Salamander withdrew his scythe, stood still, and assumed a charging stance.

Once a certain limit was reached, his figure disappeared.

Sword Technique: Iaijutsu!

Click! !

An even louder, more piercing crash followed.

"Impossible. Even a Sharingan with three tomoe couldn't withstand my Iaijutsu."

Hanzo the Salamander watched in astonishment as Kiyoshi effortlessly caught the secret technique he had painstakingly mastered with his Thunderfire Sword.

"It's just that you're ignorant."

If Kiyoshi had ordinary Sharingan, he would have already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It's unclear whether it's due to having dual bloodlines, awakening innate wisdom after transmigrating, or the nature of the entry panel.

Kiyoshi's capacity to accommodate far exceeds that of other Uchiha.

He even suspected that he might have two different eye techniques in one eye.

This is not impossible. For example, Kaguya's "Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan" on her forehead actually means that she possesses the power of both the "Rinnegan" and the "Sharingan".

This is the limit of integration.

Kiyoshi's situation is like having two Sharingan eyes in one eye socket.

A specific quantitative change led to a qualitative change.

"Alright, I've learned your moves."

Kiyoshi took a step back, bent down slightly, and placed his hand on the jaw of the Thunderfire Sword.

A large amount of chakra gathered in his hand, making the Thunderfire Sword even more solid.

boom!

Just by standing there and gathering his strength, Kiyoshi caused a shockwave around him.

At this moment, everyone on the battlefield turned their attention to that direction.

The outcome of the battle between Hanzo the Salamander and Kiyoshi Uchiha will clearly determine the direction of the upcoming fight.

Tsunade shielded herself from the sandstorm whipped up by the wind with her hands, her brown-gold eyes intently watching Kiyoshi.

If Kiyoshi wins against Hanzo the Salamander here.

Does that mean that Kiyoshi has surpassed them during World War II?

While in the midst of battle, Kurenai Yuhi used illusion magic to control the enemy in front of her. Looking back, she could see Kiyoshi at the center of the shockwave.

"No way, what new move has Kiyoshi mastered this time?"

Sarutobi Asuma couldn't understand where Kiyoshi got so many tricks up his sleeve. Did he have no learning ability?

"Your chakra..."

Hanzo the Salamander's hands, gripping the sickle, were sweating profusely, and he quickly retreated.

He dared not interrupt Kiyoshi directly, fearing that Kiyoshi would strike with his sword prematurely.

The leader of Amegakure is starting to run away!

The Akatsuki members were in an uproar, and even the ninjas within Amegakure couldn't believe it.

Kiyoshi was not surprised by the result. The current Hanzo of the Salamander had long lost his beliefs and been corrupted by power.

So he said softly:

"Swordsmanship: Iaijutsu."

boom!

Unlike a strike that is extremely fast and silent.

Kiyoshi's strike was accompanied by a tremendous gale, which even caused the rain falling from the sky to be blown backwards.

Hanzo the Salamander was immediately dealt a severe blow, pinned to the ground by the raging wind.

The rocks tumbled and dust rose, and the mountains and forests shook.

"Whoosh..."

After controlling the "Gedo Mazo", Nagato, panting heavily, looked at Kiyoshi in shock.

Can swordsmanship be this powerful?

The tremors subsided after a while.

After the smoke and dust cleared, only Kiyoshi's figure remained.

"You have learned a new entry: [Entry: Hanzo the Assassin (Gold)]".

【Note: You can advance later. 】

"Now I'm afraid there's no poison in the ninja world that can harm me."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, looking at the entry panel that only he could see.

Chapter 284 Obtaining the Branch of the Divine Tree, Kiyoshi Spreads His Reputation Across the Ninja World

These all amplify themselves on a percentage basis, meaning that the higher their base ability value, the more terrifying the amplification they will receive.

His 300% resistance to poison was already astonishing, but now it has increased to 600%. Kiyoshi said he couldn't think of any poison that could harm him.

In the future, when puppet ninjas encounter him, they will be inherently weaker!

"Hanzo...is dead?"

"It's not certain yet..."

The members of Akatsuki were shaken.

That powerful and exaggerated strike was undoubtedly deeply etched in their minds.

"Go quickly and protect Lord Hanzo!"

"Retract the formation!"

The Rain Village ninjas retreated anxiously, their faces showing a hint of fear as they approached Kiyoshi.

The only person who can truly be called the God of Shinobi is Hashirama Senju, who pacified the Five Great Nations and distributed the Tailed Beasts.

In their view, even if Hanzo of the Salamander wasn't as strong as Hashirama Senju, his own strength was still astonishing, considering his contributions.

In the Land of Rain, no one would object to the statement that Hanzo the Salamander is a demigod.

Hanzo the Salamander's prowess in defeating the samurai of the Land of Iron, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, and many other powerful ninja from various villages has deeply impressed people.

Has it all ended like this?

No one ran away in public; they were all still unsure of Hanzo the Salamander's fate and were clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Hanzo...is dead?"
