On the other side, Emiko utilized 'Water Breathing: Third Form: Flowing Dance.' She moved as gracefully as a dancer, effortlessly passing through the ROOT ninjas. With precision, she cut down two of them before being halted by the remaining two ROOT ninjas in front of her.

On the contrary, Matsuda, armed with a flail and axe, launched an attack on the ninjas. His relentless assault forced them to align in a straight line. Once this condition was met, he employed 'Stone Breathing: First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar.' With a drilling motion, he easily killed all the ninjas in the straight line, except for those who were at the rear and skillfully used the 'Body Flicker Technique' or 'Substitution Technique' to evade the flail and axe.

Hiroshi was not far behind. He also employed 'Wind Breathing: Fifth Form: Cold Mountain Wind,' unleashing a barrage of wind slashes that swiftly eliminated multiple ninjas, leaving their lifeless bodies in his wake.

Within minutes, all the ninjas surrounding Hanzo had met their demise.

Just as all five of them prepared to launch an attack on Hanzo, they suddenly found themselves ensnared. Explosive tags began to appear on their legs, a result of Hanzo's use of 'Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation.'

After enveloping all five of them, the explosive tags detonated with a resounding 'BOOM!' Hanzo remarked, "Your strength is commendable, but you are nowhere near ready to face me."

"Hanzo, we had heard that you fear death very much. Now we can see it with our own eyes. You let your ninjas die and in the mean time you employed 'Exploding Flame Formation' just because you can kill all of us in one fell swoop," came a voice. It was Nakamura's voice.

"Hanzo, we are Uchiha. Your petty tricks don't work on us," said Aiko confidently.

All five of Uchiha Karan's subordinates were still alive and completely unharmed as they saw through the move of Hanzo with their Sharingan and even before they came in contact with 'Exploding Flame Formation' they used 'Substitution Technique'.

Hanzo didn't say anything to refute this and instead stated, "It's just a simple trick in my arsenal, and I have far more techniques than you can imagine."

Hanzo retrieved his weapon, a Kusarigama, which consisted of a sickle attached to a chain. He was a user of Fire Release and typically avoided using ninjutsu because most Fire Release techniques required chakra to be released from the mouth, which he couldn't do due to the poison sap present in his body.

Karan's subordinates also prepared to attack Hanzo with their breathing techniques because they know for a fact that Hanzo is very powerful user of his weapon Kusarigama and is best at 'Body Flicker Technique'.

Just at that moment, Hanzo employed the 'Body Flicker Technique' to appear in front of Nakamura. Hanzo's speed was incredibly fast, and if Nakamura didn't have Sharingan, he wouldn't even have been able to react to Hanzo's attack. Nakamura defended with 'Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation.'

Although Nakamura managed to defend against Hanzo's attack, the impact of Hanzo's strike was more than enough to bring him down to the ground.

"Your sword techniques are good, but not fast enough. You have to be faster than this to harm me," said Hanzo.

A flail swung above his head as Hanzo was teaching Nakamura, but he easily parried it with his Kusarigama. The flail returned to its owner, Matsuda.

Matsuda remarked, "You're a user of a weapon attached to a chain, and I am also a user of a chain weapon. Let's see who is better."

Matsuda employed 'Stone Breathing: Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice' and attacked with his flail and axe simultaneously, launching multiple attacks in a short period of time. However, all of his attacks were deftly defended by Hanzo. In response, Hanzo countered by using the technique 'Dance of the Sickle Blade: Falling Descent Blade.' The sickle descended from high above the air, prompting Matsuda to defend himself with 'Stone Breathing: Third Form: Stone Skin.' After swinging the sickle and axe multiple times, Matsuda formed a protective barrier of sorts to shield himself from Hanzo's attack. The impact of Hanzo's strike was more than enough to make Matsuda cough up blood.

Aiko watched Matsuda's struggle but recognized her chance. She stated, "I have recently mastered it with the guidance of Master Karan. I hope this goes well."

Aiko gripped her Katana tightly and focused on her legs. She then unleashed 'Thunder Breathing First Form: Godspeed.' With incredible speed, she moved as fast as lightning, passing Hanzo and positioning herself behind him.

"It seems I missed. I should have aimed for his head, but I only managed to cut his left hand," said Aiko.

"It seems Aiko missed, but I won't miss, and I will definitely take his head," Emiko declared. She closed her eyes, focused, and recalled the variation of the move taught to her by Karan. She then used 'Water Breathing Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Flash.' In a manner akin to teleportation, she appeared in front of Hanzo and aimed a slash at his head. However, Hanzo parried the attack with his sickle at the last moment, and he kicked Emiko in the gut, sending her flying. Hiroshi caught Emiko as she was hurtling at a high speed, preventing her from colliding with the barrier, which could have been fatal.

Hanzo touched the wound on his left hand, caused by Aiko. "Enough playing around; now I will get serious," he declared angrily. Just minutes ago, he had been boasting that they were not enough to pose a threat to him, but now he had been clearly injured by one of them due to their teamwork.

Hanzo bit his thumb and employed the 'Summoning Technique.' A giant Ibuse appeared, upon which Hanzo stood.
