Chapter 58 The Mysterious Masked Man Appears, My Name is Afei
Is this the end?
Jiraiya stared resentfully at Hanzo the Salamander and the enormous Salamander summoning beast before him.
The three of them were breathing heavily. If they couldn't defeat Hanzo the Salamander, what would become of this war?
It's clear that Konoha has the upper hand in the overall situation.
However, at that moment, Hanzo the Salamander spoke up.
"It seems Konoha has won this war, so I'll spare your lives."
Hearing such mocking words, the hotheaded Jiraiya roared in resentment.
"We don't need your sympathy. We can still fight. Bring it on!"
"Stop talking, Jiraiya!"
Although Tsunade was also surprised that Hanzo of the Salamander was planning to let them go, she quickly stopped Jiraiya when she saw that he still wanted to fight.
Hanzo the Salamander ignored Jiraiya and continued speaking.
"You three are very capable, managing to persevere even in this situation. From now on, I, Hanzo of the Salamander, will call you the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha. From now on, you shall refer to yourselves as those titles earned with your lives."
"hateful!"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth; he was unwilling to accept defeat, but the enemy before him was extremely powerful.
Just then, two figures descended from the sky and appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Hello~!
"Who goes there!"
At this moment, both Hanzo of the Salamander and Jiraiya became extremely tense. This could have been over, but how did two more people suddenly appear?
The two men were dressed in red robes with black blouses, one of them wearing a yellow swirling mask with only one eye showing through the swirling part.
The other person wore a white mask with concentric patterns and three magatama symbols engraved on it, with a pair of eyes visible through the two lower magatama symbols.
"Oh dear! Are you asking me what my name is? My name is Afei!"
Tetsuya was completely absorbed in his acting, raising his hands and waving them as if he were attending a fan meeting.
"As for the person behind me, you should be very familiar with his name. He is Uchiha Madara! (Uchiha Madara!)"
"Uchiha Madara!"
"That person is Uchiha Madara? How is that possible!"
"He couldn't possibly be Madara Uchiha! Madara Uchiha was killed by my grandfather at the Valley of the End!"
Tsunade's eyes widened, her expression filled with disbelief.
However, upon hearing Tsunade say that Madara Uchiha had been killed by her grandfather, Izuna, whose attention had been entirely focused on Hanzo of the Salamander, immediately turned around, his crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan staring intently at Tsunade.
In that instant, Tsunade actually felt the threat of death; the naked killing intent was as terrifying as a knife.
"Tsunade, what's wrong!"
Feeling Tsunade's hand tremble slightly as she supported him, Jiraiya quickly asked her what was wrong.
"Jiraiya, that guy's eyes."
"Those are Madara Uchiha's eyes!"
As disciples of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, they naturally recognized those eyes at a glance—the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, eyes considered ominous by Tobirama Senju's lineage.
"Could that guy really be Uchiha Madara? Is Uchiha Madara really not dead yet?!"
"Unlikely, that guy definitely has something going on."
"Oh dear, Uchiha Madara-senpai, you are the great Asura of the ninja world, how can you be so temperamental with a junior? Let's get down to business."
Tetsuya also sensed the sudden killing intent that Izuna unleashed. It can only be said that he is indeed an Uchiha. His brother complex is amazing. Tsunade's words aroused Izuna's killing intent.
Fortunately, Izuna was still rational enough to shift his target after Tetsuya's reminder. However, when he looked at Hanzo the Salamander again, his eyes were even more piercing.
"Hanzo the Salamander, so you call yourself a demigod of the ninja world, right? I'm here today to test you and see what makes you so daring to call yourself a demigod."
Hanzo the Salamander also lost his temper. He was originally planning to stop and end the fight, but who dared to question him?
"Hmph, you cowardly rat who hides his head and tail, you don't even dare to show your true face, what right do you have to question me?"
"Hmph, whether I'm qualified or not, you'll find out by trying it yourself."
Izuna quickly formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
A terrifying fire jutsu was unleashed, instantly evaporating the surrounding rain. The terrifying flames transformed into a sea of fire, sweeping towards Hanzo the Salamander.
"How is this possible! How could such a level of fire jutsu exist?!"
Hanzo the Salamander's eyes widened, but at this moment he could only use the Body Flicker Technique again.
It transformed into a stream of water, carrying the salamander and narrowly avoiding the terrifying fire jutsu, as everyone present witnessed.
After the powerful fire subsided, the ground, which had been soaked by the heavy rain, was scorched dry and cracked.
Seeing that Hanzo of the Salamander had actually dodged his ninjutsu, Izuna naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He also used the Body Flicker Technique to appear directly above Hanzo's head, drew a ninja sword from his sleeve, and slashed at Hanzo.
Hanzo the Salamander hurriedly swung his scythe and chain to defend himself, and the two engaged in a hand-to-hand combat.
Jiraiya, who had been doubting whether the masked man was Madara Uchiha, suddenly became convinced that the man was Madara Uchiha. After all, even their teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, probably couldn't do a fire jutsu of that level.
However, in his shock, Jiraiya asked his two companions.
"Tsunade, Orochimaru, what should we do next? This guy, whether he's Madara Uchiha or not, is not someone we can easily deal with."
Orochimaru stared intently at Madara Uchiha's retreating figure and answered in his distinctively hoarse voice.
"I think perhaps we can wait and let them fight it out, while we reap the benefits."
However, Tsunade shook her head and gave a suggestion that was completely opposite to Orochimaru's.
"I think we should take this opportunity to retreat. We've already won this battle. Apart from Hanzo the Salamander, the rest of the Rain Ninja have been completely routed. We should take advantage of the fact that Hanzo the Salamander is tied up and end the battle."
And most importantly, regardless of whether this masked man is Uchiha Madara or not, we must get the message back.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you three."
Tetsuya crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at the three of them.
"What are you all plotting so loudly here? Can't you see that Madara-senpai is having a tense battle with that Salamander guy? As viewers, you should be more professional, okay?"
"What exactly do you guys want to do?!"
Jiraiya questioned loudly.
"Hey, you're so rude! I'm not calling you that. I have a name, my name is Afei!"
Tetsuya twisted his body, like someone with ADHD.
Jiraiya and his two companions exchanged glances and came to the same conclusion: this seemingly comical guy was definitely not simple.
