"Such a powerful technique! But if I manage to destroy all the clones at once, it's like breaking the technique, right? Ibuse!"
As Hanzō spoke, a massive amount of poisonous gas leaked from his mouth, surrounding him in a toxic mist. As he shouted, Ibuse, controlled by the Sharingan and filled with fury and rage, immediately opened its mouth wide.
The purple poisonous mist spread rapidly in all directions. The figures of Shisui that rushed forward were swallowed by the mist and disappeared as if they had vanished, leaving no sound.
The mist quickly spread across half of the hall. Yahiko and the others hurriedly moved to areas not yet covered by the poison.
The Kiri ninja, Karatachi Yagura, used Water Release to create a rotating water vortex, keeping the poison outside and also protecting the remaining Kiri ninjas.
Only the Rain ninjas, who had worn gas masks beforehand, could move freely through the purple poisonous mist, as if they were at home in it.
"Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough!"
Nagato was the first to use Wind Release, blowing away the poison mist that was about to spread toward him. However, the relatively closed environment of the hall gave the mist an advantage in terms of terrain.
Seeing this, Hiroto, under the protection of Nagato and Yahiko, rushed to a control panel and activated the ventilation system of Ancor Vantian.
A large amount of the poisonous mist was sucked away by the ventilation system activated by Nagato's wind, carried along internal ducts, and expelled outside.
Hanzo was not disappointed that the poison mist didn't have a decisive killing effect. Poison wasn't something he considered a final weapon.
The poison of Ibuse was indeed deadly, but it wasn't without a solution. Medical ninjas like Tsunade from Konoha or Chiyo from Suna could quickly treat themselves and neutralize the poison, even creating antidotes.
Ibuse's poison was more for intimidation, to prevent enemies from sending large numbers of people to encircle him, as well as to clear out cannon fodder and giant summoning beasts.
For powerful ninjas, Ibuse's poison could be a great advantage, but it wouldn't be decisive enough to directly determine the outcome of a fight.
This had already been proven during the Second Great Ninja War.
Ibuse's poison was indeed powerful, but without his own strength, he would have long perished alongside Ibuse under the attacks from Suna and Konoha.
The massive body of Ibuse suddenly appeared on the water's surface, its claws digging into the ground beneath the water, quickly disappearing, leaving behind a giant hole.
The next moment, from where Shisui stood, a massive blood-red mouth erupted from the ground with debris, swallowing Shisui and his clone whole.
Hanzo, who had a strange connection with Ibuse, suddenly felt a deep sense of danger and powerful force coming from Ibuse.
"Ibuse!" Hanzo shouted, trying to get it to spit out Shisui, but it was already too late.
Ibuse howled in agony, its enormous body thrashing violently on the surface of the water, causing waves so strong they nearly threw all the water from the lake.
The ripples on the water spread outward in circles from Ibuse's position, moving rapidly.
A spear suddenly pierced through Ibuse's side from within, followed by a giant's arm forcing its mouth open. Amidst Ibuse's cries, Shisui jumped out of its mouth.
Blood poured from Ibuse's wound, dripping to the ground. Its breath slowed, but the madness and malice in its eyes became even more evident as it glared at Shisui, who had forced its way out. Its eyes were full of hatred.
"That is...!"
Seeing the giant with greenish skin, emitting dark and ominous chakra, even the experienced Hanzo couldn't hide his shock. He had never seen such a disturbing and oppressive jutsu before!
Watching the giant swing its spear to lift Ibuse and smash it back into the water, Hanzo felt that this technique had surpassed what any shinobi would consider a jutsu.
"Do the Uchiha have this kind of jutsu?"
From a distance, watching the scene from afar, the cautious Karatachi Yagura, who was facing Nagato and the others, was momentarily stunned by the sight of the green giant.
In a fury, Ibuse swung its tail at the green giant, sending a shower of water droplets through the air with a sharp whistling sound as it struck the giant.
The green giant, nearly ten meters tall, was hit by the tail and stumbled backward from the force.
The next moment, Ibuse felt its tail being grabbed by two hands, and an immense force began to pull its body toward the giant.
Ibuse swung its head around, looking behind, only to see the giant's hands gripping its tail, pulling it toward itself.
With the giant's strength, the green giant, which was previously just a skeleton, now had muscle tissue and a layer of skin, and its power and size suddenly grew.
Ibuse's limbs struggled and swung in the air, but he still couldn't control his body. The giant swung him around a few times, using the momentum to smash him toward the direction of the Mist and Rain ninjas.
Looking purely at size, Ibuse was undoubtedly much taller than the green giant, but it was precisely because of the obvious size difference that the violent scene created by pure strength was even more impactful.
Boom!
Ibuse's enormous body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through all the obstacles and the ninjas from Mist and Rain who couldn't dodge.
Finally, he crashed into the wall of the hall, creating a deep crater, as though he were a painting hanging on the wall. After a few seconds, Ibu slowly fell from the wall and dropped into the water and onto the ground.
With bloodshot eyes, Ibuse glared fiercely at the green giant, seemingly wanting to remember its figure in his mind. Afterward, under Hanzō's order, he turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from the spot, retreating to the resting place of Ibuse to lick his wounds.
The Susanoo inside Ibuse's body had caused serious injuries. Blood spread throughout its mouth and body, and even if Hanzō didn't release the summoning, Ibuse's injuries were enough to prevent him from maintaining his combat ability and lasting presence.
Hanzō dodged the spiraling long spear in the giant's hand, but once again, regret filled his mind, and for the first time, he felt the desire to retreat.
The Uchiha kid's ninjutsu was simply too restraining for him. Especially that green giant, which could even block his full-powered sword strike.
For a moment, Hanzō wasn't sure if he had grown weaker with age or if the opponent's defense was just that terrifying.
Karatachi Yagura had already realized that this mission was going to fail, so after assessing the remaining manpower, he decisively ordered a retreat.
Even if the mission failed, there was still a chance to recover, but if they didn't leave now, both the Mist ninjas and he would lose their lives here.
At least the fact that the target had Konoha's support could be reported as important intelligence to the Mizukage and the elders.
