Chapter 50 - Hanzo vs Sannin (1/2)

I went full speed to the future-battlefield between Hanzo and Sannin. I already knew what time and place, so I just needed to find a place to hide and retreat route beforehand. I just hope that I won't randomly encounter Sannin or Hanzo on the way as such would just backfire everything.

After one day of non-stop running, I arrived at the site. Fortunately, there was no one. I took a quick look at the geography of the area. There was a large space, suitable for battle in the center, while small rocky mountains around the corners. Basically, this place was perfect for an ambush.

I decided to hide at the rocky mountains at the corner during the battle. It was surrounded by several giant rocks, a bit far away from the battle scene. I could easily peak or sneak in and off from here, making it a perfect spot for me to hide.

After finding the hiding place, I started running around to discover an escape route. Although I had an erasing-presence pill, I still wanted to be careful.

It took me almost 5 hours, to find a safe and short escaping route from the battle scene field.

After arranging everything, I retreated from the battle place. I didn't plan to stay, and hide there until Hanzo and Sannins finish their battle.

What if Hanzo arrives tomorrow first and spots me, before battling with Sannin or Sannin finds me vice versa? Then I would have no choice, but to flee without achieving anything.

I have to sneak in and spectate the battle while they are in the middle of the fighting. Hanzo and Sannin would be too focused on each other and won't locate me, or either they will just simply ignore me.

I settled 7km away from the future battlefield of Hanzo and Sannin, just to make sure I don't run into them.

(Next day)

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were running together while talking to each other.

”So our mission is to ambush leader of Amegakure, Hanzo? I heard that Hanzo is on the par level with our Sensei. How can we beat him?” Tsunade asked.

Sannins still have no idea about what happened to Nawaki, Dan, or even to the Third Hokage. They received a mission to stop Hanzo's rampaging on Konoha forces a week ago and since then they didn't have any contact with any Konoha shinobi or even news.

”Don't worry, Tsunade. We don't have to kill him, just injuring him will do fine. I am sure three of us together can at least do that.” Jiraiya ȧssured Tsunade.

”Be quiet, you two. We are almost at the ambush point.

I am going to explain the plan now. Jiraiya and I will hold Hanzo while Tsunade, you take care of all the lackeys around him and rejoin us as soon as you are done.” Orochimaru explained his plan to his two teammates.

””Alright''' Jiraiya and Tsunade agreed to Orochimaru. Jiraiya and Tsunade fully trusted Orochimaru as he was their teammates and lifetime friend.

I walked towards the battle spot slowly while waiting for the sound of battles patiently. Then I heard the loud sound of explosions and could feel the earth-shaking.

I immediately knew that the battle between Hanzo and Sannin started. I performed ”Earth style: Earth Travel jutsu” and slowly advanced to the battlefield.

I sneaked into my arranged hiding place without making any sound and peaked a bit at the battlefield.

I could see dozens of Amegakure shinobi lying dead while Hanzo and Sannin were confronting in the middle. It seems all weaklings are dead and powerhouses have remained.

”I didn't expect Konoha shinobi to ambush me here. Not bad for a girl to handle all of my shinobi this quick. How did you know I would pass here?” Hanzo asked with a bit of surprising face.

Sannins obviously didn't answer Hanzo. Orochimaru threw Shurikens to Hanzo as an answer to his question. Jiraiya and Tsunade also started attacking.

Hanzo bites off his thumb and performed several hand signs to summon his infamous partner, Ibuse the salamander.

Ibuse roared to Hanzo which made him immediately look at my place. I guess Ibuse spotted me and reported to Hanzo.

I got tensed high when Hanzo looked at my direction.

But Hanzo just looked at me for second and focused on Sannin. I guess he thought I am just small fry and decide to deal with me after Sannin. I am very glad that he thought me that way, although it was annoying.

Seeing Hanzo summoning, Sannins summoned their each summoning animal in response. Hanzo's summon was bigger and stronger than 3 Sannin's summoning combined.

”Let's go, Orochimaru, Tsunade!” Jiraiya shouted.

An intense battle between Hanzo and Sannins started while I was spectating with the popcorn in my mouth. I didn't worry much about Hanzo attacking me until he deals with Sannins.
