"Are you that confident? Don't forget, this is Muye.”The hippo Han Yu said calmly. At the same time, he gestured for Asma and Red to quickly approach him.
Although Hikari Hanyu did not recognize this Sunin, his rich combat experience and tyrannical strength made him realize that the ninja in front of him was definitely not someone that three Genins could deal with (if he was really a Genin). The corpses of the two Kiba Chuunins were the best proof.
Although Asma and Red were considered the best among the Genins, they were undoubtedly courting death when compared to the Sanin. Therefore, for Hippo Hanyu, the most important task was not to kill the Sanin, but to protect Asma and Red.
"Are you waiting for reinforcements? I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see the other Muye people again?”Shinobu pulled out an ugly black stick from his back. It looked like it was covered in scabs, and he could not tell what it was made of.
"This is a robbery." Asma recognized him. As expected of the son of the third generation. He was indeed not weak in terms of knowledge. Even without his reminder, the hippo Han Yu had already recognized this rod. Moreover, he had seen the original owner of the rod, the Desolate Sand Rock. Moreover, the Desolate Sand Rock had died in White Tooth's hands.
"Hong, Asma, I'll hold him back later. You guys go back to the village and find reinforcements.”It seemed that he had to use his true strength. Thus, Hippo Hanyu had to send the two of them away in order to unleash his full strength.
"No, we will never abandon our comrades and run away.”Asma immediately said. After saying that, he took out the strange-looking short knife that he had treasured from his pocket. This knife was a gift from the third generation to him for the Genin graduation exam. It had the property of absorbing chakras.
The hippo Han Yu looked at Asma, who was putting on a manly pose, and found it funny. Then, he looked at Red's stubborn expression and felt like he had gotten himself into a trap.
"Alright then! Red, I'll hold him back later. You use your illusion to distract him. Asma will wait for an opportunity.”The hippo Han Yu, who had no other choice, assigned a mission." Be careful."”
Stepping out, Hippo Hanyu drew his own weapon. It was a samurai sword that looked very ordinary. However, don't be fooled by its appearance. This sword was bought by Hippo Hanyu from Craftsman Ren at a high price. It looked blunt and without a sharp edge, but it could maximize the power of the wind chakra. It was similar to Asma's short sword. Most importantly, there was a modified version of the Five Elements Seal engraved on the hilt. It could absorb the opponent's chakra and store it in the hilt.
The one-meter-long saber was placed in front of the hippo Hanyu. Sha Ren looked at the saber with a fierce look in his eyes. In a flash, he had already arrived in front of the hippo Hanyu. The iron rod smashed down with a sound that broke through the air.
The hippo Hanyu didn't fight head-on. He took light steps and dodged the direct slash. Then, he pulled out his sword and slashed at the waist of the sand. The Sand Ninja flipped back in the air, raising the rod in his hand and pointing it at the throat of the hippo Han Yu. Unfortunately, the length of the rod was not long enough. Just as Red and Asma heaved a sigh of relief, the black rod that they could not reach suddenly became longer. The tip of the rod became diamond-shaped and sharp, like a gun.
"It's dangerous." Seeing that the hippo Han Yu was in danger, Asma was about to rush out to support him when she was pulled back by Red.
"Wait, don't rush."
The hippo Hanyu smiled faintly. Since he knew about the " robbery ", he naturally had some understanding of its characteristics. The hippo Hanyu, who was prepared, easily dodged it.
However, the sandworms 'attacks were not over. The hard long rod seemed to have melted and turned into a soft whip, following behind the hippo Hanyu like a shadow.
"Damn, this is too passive." The anger in the heart of the hippo Han Yu, who was being chased by the sand, was ignited." Offense is the best defense.”
He injected the wind attribute chakra into the blade, and the blade was immediately surrounded by white chakras. The originally blunt and blunt blade was also exceptionally sharp. His agile body was pushed to the extreme.
"Fast, very fast." As far as he knew, only Kai's father, the real Blue Beast Blue Origin and Moonlight Night Mist, could reach this speed in physical skills. (He didn't have the chance to witness Woodleaf White Tooth's speed, and the 4th generation Flying Thunder God Technique should still be under development.)）
"How much strength has he been hiding?”This was what Red thought. She had heard some comments about Hippo Hanyu from her father. She knew that Hippo Hanyu had been hiding his strength since he was at Muye School.
The hippo Hanyu's entire body was like a spinning top that was activated. It kept spinning, looking like a knife wheel, and the tinkling sounds were endless. This attack seemed fierce, but Hippo Hanyu knew that the effect was not good." Robbery " was indeed a famous divine weapon. Under the continuous slashes, only a scratch appeared.
"As expected, physical skills are still my worst.”Hippo Hanyu muttered. Actually, this was not his fault. He was still a child, and his body had not yet reached its peak condition, so he was light but lacked strength. The power contained in the two-meter tall tower-like body of the sand was terrifying.
Hippo Hanyu was using his weakness to fight against his opponent's strength. If it wasn't for the fact that his saber was sturdy enough, it would have already been broken. Sensing that his stamina was rapidly decreasing, Hippo Hanyu knew that he couldn't continue like this. Otherwise, the three of them would lose their lives here.
"Lightning Evasion-Thunder Slash." The hippo Hanyu had no choice but to use his Muye Baiya's ultimate move. A large amount of lightning chakras gathered on the saber, like an electric dragon coiling around it. This slash was clean and neat. The electricity traveled along the black rod and reached the hand of the sand. It was like a lightning strike, and the sand quickly retreated.
The tip of the blade, which had yet to dissipate, landed on the ground. The ground immediately shattered into pieces, and a crack that was one meter deep and half a meter wide extended forward. It was about 10 meters long.
"Impressive." The corners of Asma's and Red's mouths twitched as they spat out the two pieces.
Sajin took advantage of the flying rocks and hid himself. Hiding was a compulsory course for ninjas, and Sajin's brain and strength were clearly proportional to his size. He did not become the legendary blockhead.
"Who said that just because you have strong limbs, you must have a simple mind?”The hippo Han Yu cursed.
The hippo Hanyu did not have the Hyuga family's White Eyes and Uchiha family's Shura Eyes, which could see through all obstacles, but he also had his own magic weapon. With his eyes closed, he could sense everything within a hundred meters.
"Be careful." The hippo Han Yu pounced on Asma and Hong, holding them with both hands and pushing them a few meters away.
A black vine burrowed out from the ground where the two of them had been standing. After the two of them were rescued by the hippo Han Yu, it immediately retreated back into the ground and could not be found.
"I didn't expect that 'Kill-stopping' could be used like this. It seems that the previous desolate rock didn't develop its full effect, and this person's use of it far exceeds the former.”The hippo Han Yu was on guard.
"Hello--" Her face turned red as she said,""Can you put me down?"
The hippo Han Yu was stunned. It took him a long time to realize that his hand was actually pressing on Red's chest. He quickly let go and said,"It's still an airport!" If Red knew what the hippo Hanyu was thinking, she would probably jump up and give him a slap.
The three vines flew out from the grass and Han Yu slashed them apart. In the next moment, he appeared beside the sand ninja hiding in the grass and stabbed it through its chest.
"Earth clone." Hippo Hanyu's expression immediately changed. He had been lured away from the mountain. He had fallen into a trap.
"Ah!" Red's scream was heard, and the last thing they wanted to see happened. Red and Asma were tied up tightly by the Sand Ninja using " Robbery ", while the Sand Ninja was standing behind them with a sinister smile. The Sand Ninja who had lost his mask due to the battle just now revealed his ferocious and terrifying face. A large " X " shaped knife wound was particularly eye-catching, with his nose as the center, extending to the corner of his mouth and eye.
"Kid, put down your knife." It seemed that Shinobu still had some misgivings about Hanyu's saber technique.
"I don't want to." Red screamed.
"Shut up." Following the furious rebuke of the Sand Ninja, some thorns immediately grew out of his body and pierced into the skin of the two men. For a moment, specks of scarlet were imprinted on their clothes. Looking at the painful expressions of the two men, the hippo Hanyu narrowed his eyes and threw the saber in his hand to the side. When he saw the red, he was about to speak again. He stopped them first and said,"Shut up."
Hong, who was already feeling very uncomfortable, could not help but feel wronged when he saw the hippo Hanyu treat him so viciously. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his white teeth bit his lips tightly. His two little canine teeth were exposed, and he looked very cute. However, in the eyes of the hippo Hanyu, he only looked pitiful.
Feeling that his tone was a little harsh, the hippo Hanyu nodded at the two of them, indicating for them to calm down. He said to the sand,"I've already put down my saber. What do you want?”
"What? Aren't you very arrogant?”
Hippo Hanyu looked into Sanin's eyes and focused his mental energy, which was rare." Ninja Technique-Hypnosis."”
Hypnosis was a ninjutsu commonly used by Ishinobu Koba. However, this kind of hypnosis required the cooperation of the other party. If the other party did not cooperate and was powerful, it could only make the person dizzy for a moment, but it could not completely hypnotize the other party.
Fortunately, what the hippo Hanyu wanted was only this moment. He teleported to the side of the sand and stabbed his hand at the sand's heart. Blood flowed down. The hippo Han Yu heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Red. However, he saw a look of fear and worry in Red's eyes. He became alert." Substitute Technique."”
In the next moment, the wooden block that was the substitute for the hippo Hanyu shattered into powder. Sharen blew at the wooden leaf in his hand and looked at the hippo Hanyu with a hint of admiration.
" I've been on guard against you for a long time." It seemed that Sarenin had already treated Hanyu as an opponent and not a child. This was definitely not good news for Hanyu. This also meant that if he wanted to save her, it would be even more difficult.
He had to kill them, or else Hong and Asma's lives would be in his hands.
Yin-Wei-Yin-Wu," Illusion-Essence of Illusion Fire " completed the spell in less than a second. The raging fire spread rapidly, and the four of them were surrounded by the fire. The shrill voice of the hippo sounded," Since I can't save them, don't even think about leaving alive. Let's die together!" Ha-, hahaha-"
Some of the surrounding trees started to burn under the Fire Escape Technique of Hippo Hanyu. Coupled with the illusion, the real and fake fire felt so real that even Red did not notice it. The scorching flames roasted everyone, and the main target of the attack, Sanin, felt as if his hand holding the rod was burned, and he let go of the " Robbery " in his hand.
After losing Chakra's control, the 'Robbery Kill' automatically reverted back to that ugly black stick. Hippo Hanyu rescued Red and Hippo Hanyu who were trapped in the illusion and shouted,"Untie it!"
The fire that filled the sky instantly disappeared. Only the surrounding trees were still burning and constantly emitting smoke.
As Hippo Hanyu released the illusion, Sandin was also freed from the illusionary fire. His face, which was blackened by the smoke, looked even uglier and scarier.
"Multi-layered sand shuriken." Sanin was certain that Hanyu would not let go of Red and Asma so easily. He began to use a large-scale attack ninjutsu."Earth Evasion-Rock Spike."
The hippo Han Yu held the two of them on his left and right as he dodged the sand shurikens that flew towards him like locusts. A large number of stone spikes suddenly grew out of the ground, and if he was not careful, he would be pierced.
"Yes!" The hippo Hanyu grunted. He had been accidentally hit by two sand shurikens just now, and his movements were somewhat restricted.
"Put me down." Seeing that the hippo Han Yu was injured, Asma called out.
The hippo Hanyu wanted to refuse, but seeing his determined expression, he knew that if he didn't put him down, it would probably deal a serious blow to his self-esteem.
Although Asma was also injured, it did not affect his movements much. As he dodged the sand shuriken, he kept shooting his shuriken to counterattack. Sometimes, he even used his wounds to exchange for an opportunity. This was a life-risking fighting style.
" Illusion-Nailo's Art of Seeing." With the hippo Hanyu helping her block those hidden weapons and dangers, Red concentrated on using all her chakras to cast this illusion that she had just learned and had yet to master.
"I succeeded." Red cried out in joy when she saw the Sand Ninja standing there in a daze with unfocused eyes.
"Right now." Without waiting for Hippo Hanyu's reminder, Asma rushed over at high speed. The sharp short knife in her hand slashed across Sunin's neck. This time, Sunin was finally dead.
The three of them looked at each other. This was Red and Asma's first stop in the truest sense of the word. It was already quite good for them to have today's performance. Moreover, after today's battle, the three of them were even more familiar with their tactical cooperation.
Hippo Hanyu believed that after today, Hong and Asma's battle experience would greatly increase."Ninjas can only grow after experiencing the trials of life and death.”
