The Rise of Hanzo

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."

Following Satoru's words, a mysterious sphere appeared in front of him from the thin air.

This sphere emitted strange power, and the air around it seemed drawn to it.

The toxic mist quickly dissipated under the influence of this power, and all objects, including the highly poisonous mist, seemed to be swallowed by the sphere.

Alarm bells rang loudly in Hanzo's heart, and the sense of danger grew stronger.

Satoru uttered one word calmly: "Go."

The mysterious sphere immediately emitted a strong suction force, and all objects around it, including trees, raindrops, grass, etc., were drawn towards it and headed straight towards Hanzo.

Hanzo's eyes were enveloped in bright light as the sphere flew towards him, and everything in front of him became blurred.

*Boom*

Deafening roars shook the entire forest.

The place destroyed by Blue instantly turned into ruins.

The once dense forest now turned into blackened tree stumps, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke.

And amidst the rubble, Hanzo lay in the middle, disheveled, with his life hanging in the balance.

Satoru gently folded his hands and looked at him with indifferent eyes.

"W-Why...?" Hanzo's voice started to tremble and weaken.

"Why?" Satoru asked calmly.

"Why... did I lose." Hanzo's eyes showed reluctance.

"I'm a Demigod."

"I'm the leader of Amegakure."

"How could I lose to you?"

Satoru gently kicked a stone on the roadside and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you lose to me."

"Because you..."

"Are very weak."

After hearing this, Hanzo's eyes were slightly disturbed, "Am I... weak?"

His consciousness gradually became blurred. At this moment, he seemed to have traveled through space and time and returned to the ideals and innocence of his youth.

At that time, he was just a young man pursuing peace, full of enthusiasm and ideals.

But as time passed, his heart was slowly eroded by corruption, and he began to wonder, when did his original intentions begin to change?

Hanzo's mind gradually became confused. However, he had no time to investigate this.

At the end of his life, he could be defeated by someone truly strong to prove that his life was not in vain.

So, Hanzo closed his eyes and prepared to face his fate.

However, as he was about to give up, he felt a strange power surging inside his body.

"What is this?" Hanzo was filled with confusion.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and found Satoru crouching in front of him, gently touching his wounds with his hand.

It felt like a dream, as the wounds on his body miraculously began to heal.

It was like dead grass coming back to life in the spring rain and quickly shining with vitality.

"Um, I'm not very skilled at combining chakra with the Reverse Cursed Technique. It might hurt a little, so bear with me." Muttered Satoru in a low voice.

"Why?" Hanzo said with a hint of confusion in his tone.

"Why?" Satoru was momentarily stunned by the question, then suddenly realized, "Are you asking me why I want to save you?"

"I didn't intend to kill you, but the previous attack was too excessive." He explained apologetically.

Upon hearing this, Hanzo smiled helplessly.

The boy in front of him was acting strangely and unexpectedly.

Soon, under Satoru's care, Hanzo's wounds miraculously healed.

"With power like that..." Hanzo suddenly straightened up, and the previous deadly attack seemed to rejuvenate him.

"Your power is unmatched in the ninja world. Therefore, I intend to give you the position of leader of Amegakure."

"You will lead Amegakure, and even the entire world, towards peace." His eyes shone with determination and hope.

Satoru waved his hand gently, interrupting Hanzo's words.

Hanzo's eyes showed confusion.

"Peace is not my concern." Satoru smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care about such things, "That's what Yahiko and the others should worry about."

"Yahiko?" Hanzo was stunned.

"And for now, I'm not qualified to be called the strongest." Satoru looked up at the sky, "There's someone stronger than me."

His Rinnegan seemed to pierce through the clouds and see a place beyond the sky.

The presence there was incredibly strong.

The power made his blood boil.

"So, what was your purpose in coming here today?" Hanzo's voice became inadvertently respectful.

"I heard you planned to meet with the Akatsuki organization." Satoru said softly.

Upon hearing this, Hanzo immediately understood his meaning, "Don't worry, because the Akatsuki organization has people like you, the thoughts I had before will naturally disappear."

"Besides, I was once deceived by ninjas from Konohagakure which is why I have such thoughts." Hanzo replied.

Doubt crept into Satoru's heart, why would Danzo know about the Rinnegan?

He began to deeply ponder the source of the information.

Konohagakure... Could this be information revealed by Jiraiya?

This idea crossed Satoru's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Three years with Jiraiya convinced him that his mentor was not the type of person to betray, and he quickly discarded this unrealistic guess.

Satoru fell silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something. Then, he raised his head and said to Hanzo, "In that case, I'll capture Danzo another time."

"First, you carry out your initial plan."

"Let's catch the turtle in the jar."

"Amegakure doesn't need outside help."
