Chapter 102 The Origin of the Title of Demigod

Hanzo doesn't like betting, especially with Byakuya.

Based on his understanding of Bai Ye, no matter who he bets on wins, unexpected circumstances will occur, causing things to move in a direction favorable to Bai Ye.

And even if he wins, there won't be much benefit, and he might even be plotted against by Bai Ye.

After thinking about this, Hanzo looked at Bai Ye with a smile and said, "Bai Ye, I believe in your vision, so I bet you will win!"

Hearing this, Bai Ye immediately lost interest in the bet.

When did this old man Hanzo become so smart that he actually found a loophole in his words. Could it be that after stepping down from the position of demigod, Hanzo's IQ has regained its high ground?
As Bai Ye and Hanzo observed silently.

The atmosphere between Kakuzu and the Uchiha group has become tense. They look at each other nervously, as if they will attack at the next moment.

For Kakuzu, the Sharingan is not as valuable as the Byakugan, but the price for the bounty on Uchiha is not low.

If he could kill all these Uchiha, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the next few years. The only small problem was that he was not sure of defeating this group of Uchiha.

Uchiha is not an ordinary ninja. Besides possessing bloodline limits, he also likes to form teams and work together.

If he cannot quickly deal with the two Uchiha teams in front of him, once he gets into a long battle, the nearby Konoha ninjas may come to support him, and he will face encirclement and suppression by the Konoha Army.

So, Kakuzu kept hesitating, wondering whether he should take action.

The Uchiha were also hesitant. Although Uchiha ninjas were always arrogant, they still had some awe for the truly strong ones in their hearts.

The Kakuzu in front of us belongs to this category.

Although Kakuzu was a rebel ninja, he had been active in the ninja world since the Warring States Period. Not only did he escape unscathed from the battle with the God of Ninja, he also made a great name for himself in the underground black market of the ninja world.

To put it bluntly, Kakuzu is now one of the strongest ninjas in the ninja world.

In the entire Uchiha clan, perhaps only clan leader Fugaku can be compared with him.

After the two sides confronted each other for a while, Kakuzu's desire for money overcame his reason. He quickly distanced himself from them, formed seals with both hands and said, "Fire Style: Head-Turning!"

In an instant, a ball of fire burst out of Kakuzu's mouth, instantly covering the Uchiha in front of him.

The huge flames surged like a tide, and the heat wave quickly swept through the forest ahead, burning the surface and the trees in its path into charcoal, emitting a strong smell of gunpowder.

The Uchiha who had dispersed long ago opened their Sharingan one by one and stared at Kakuzu fiercely.

Kakuzu actually used the Fire Style that the Uchiha were proud of to attack them. This was simply an insult to the proud Uchiha.

After drawing their kunai and daggers, they disappeared from their positions and attacked Kakuzu's position.

Uchiha Shisui was also one of them, and he was at the front.

He had thought that this conflict could be avoided, that there was no need for the Uchiha and the rebel ninja to fight, probably because neither his clan members nor he were good at chatting.

After dodging Kakuzu's fireball attack by turning sideways, Shisui formed a seal with one hand and transformed into two phantoms, surrounding Kakuzu from the front and the back.

After a feint, Shisui cut off Kakuzu's arm with his dagger and breathed a sigh of relief.

Arms are more important to a ninja than life, and both hands are needed for both hand seals and attacking.

If an ordinary ninja loses an arm, he basically loses the chance to continue being a ninja. Even a strong ninja like Kakuzu will lose most of his combat effectiveness.

At this moment, the severed arm flew back to Kakuzu's body, and the wound was sutured in a few seconds. After seeing this scene, Shisui's heart, which had just been relieved, became heavier again, and he carefully retreated back to the team.

The ninja who could fight with the first generation is indeed not a small character. Even such a wound can be healed. No wonder no one has been able to kill Kakuzu for so many years.

This is probably going to be a fierce battle.

Kakuzu also realized this. Although he had not lost his heart yet, he also felt how difficult Shisui was. The opponent's reaction speed was too fast, and there were so many Uchiha around who were performing illusions to interfere.

Thanks to the existence of Di Yuanyu, he can remove the illusion by himself.

But as soon as he dispelled one illusion, he faced the next one, which was completely impossible to defend against.

After taking a deep breath, Kakuzan reached into his body and took out three masks from his stitched body. He was going to take the next battle seriously!

While Kakuzu, Shisui and others were fighting, Byakuya was sitting on a tree trunk and watching the battle.

If he were to interfere in such a tense and exciting battle, it would neither be in line with his style nor would it be fun to watch the tense performance.

If he hadn't yet learned White Zetsu's video-recording ninjutsu, he would have wanted to record it.

Hanzo seemed to sense the fun of the spectators as well and was carefully observing the fight between the Uchiha ninja and Kakuzu, revealing a thoughtful look from time to time.

At this time, Kakuzu took out his mask and began to perform the five great escape techniques.

With the blessing of the Earth's Grievance and the five hearts, Kakuzu unleashed his ninjutsu wantonly, not to mention the killing effect, but the special effects were still dazzling, and the surrounding forest was razed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye became confused and asked Hanzo beside him:
"I heard that the Third Hokage is good at the Five Styles Great Linking Technique. I wonder how it compares to Kakuzu? Who is stronger between the two of them?"

"I don't know." Hanzo insisted on not knowing anything and didn't want to answer the questions.

"Hmm?" Bai Ye frowned. "Senior Hanzo, as a former demigod, haven't you ever fought against the Third Hokage? How did you get the title of demigod?"

Hanzo also frowned. He thought Bai Ye might have misunderstood something, so he began to explain.

Although the leader of a ninja village is the strongest ninja in the village, if a leader has no time to challenge another leader, what he will experience are the great wars in the ninja world, not street fights.

His title as a demigod is due to his terrifying dominance on the battlefield. When he joins forces with the Salamander, he can quickly reduce the number of enemy troops.

Besides, it is customary to brag about your opponent on the battlefield. If you lose, you have an excuse, and if you win, you will be more famous.

After the commercial praise, not to mention the demigod of the ninja world, even the strongest Hokage can appear.

After listening to Hanzo's explanation, Bai Ye asked back:

"I think there are quite a few leaders in the ninja world who have made promises to fight, including the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and the Third Raikage who was forced to fight a large army some time ago."

Hanzo's expression changed. Why does Bai Ye always find fault? Those are monsters among ninjas.

Normal ninjas are human beings. If they are hit, they will be injured, and if they are killed, they will die.

Bai Ye did not give Hanzo time to continue explaining. After seeing that Kakuzu and Uchiha were almost exhausted, he jumped down from the tree trunk and rushed towards the battlefield.

It's time to go over and clean up the mess and pick up the spoils.
