Capítulo 113: Chapter 113: Eyes Similar to Mine
A raindrop pierced through the clouds, sliced through the sky, and fell onto the horn of the demon mask.
The man wearing the demon mask was colder than the rain.
He stood silently in the drizzle, gazing indifferently at Hanzo the Salamander and the cave entrance behind him.
A person's name and shadow follow them.
The Moon God had never appeared in the Land of Rain, but his exploits of decimating ninja forces from three nations and causing havoc in Konoha were well-known throughout the ninja world.
[The Moon God is extremely dangerous. Ordinary shinobi should flee immediately upon encountering him.]
This had become a consensus among the ninja villages.
As the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo naturally had plenty of intelligence on the Moon God, but not being from Konoha, his understanding was limited.
He couldn't comprehend why this man, who had caused such a storm, would appear here.
"...Moon God?" Hanzo frowned, his voice muffled through the breathing mask, "Are you looking for me?"
Yuto tilted his head slightly, causing the horn of the demon mask to cast a cold gleam.
He spoke calmly, his voice just loud enough for Nagato inside the cave to hear.
"I'm looking for a pair of eyes... similar to mine."
Hanzo and Nagato inside the cave both turned pale.
"The eyes of a sage, huh."
Hanzo stared intently at the man wearing the demon mask.
This was the first time the Moon God had spoken about himself, a rare piece of information. But... what would be the cost for those who heard it?
The atmosphere became tense, and the rain seemed to fall slower.
Bang!
A tremendous sense of danger prompted Hanzo to act first. He used a summoning jutsu, and a twenty-meter-long salamander appeared.
"Good judgment, quite clever."
Yuto chuckled, seemingly unintentionally placing his hand on his forehead, positioning God's Mask.
The blood of the Otsutsuki clan flowed once again in his body.
In the mask mode, every movement of Hanzo and the salamander was clearly visible.
With a light step on the ground, Yuto dashed towards Hanzo, choosing a straightforward linear charge, showing no regard for the "demi-god."
Whoosh—
The salamander opened its mouth, spewing a dense poison mist that instantly enveloped Yuto. The poison was so potent that even Hanzo, who had a poison sac implanted from a young age, felt uncomfortable.
However, He simply raised a repulsive force barrier, rendering the air and poison mist ineffective.
In a flash, He emerged from the poison mist, successfully reaching Hanzo.
With an explosion of gravitational force, Hanzo's body moved involuntarily. Yuto formed a small blade of repulsive force at his fingertips and nonchalantly thrust it forward.
With a splash, he only struck a puddle of water.
Hanzo had two renowned techniques: his summoning beast, the salamander, and his water teleportation jutsu!
Suddenly, the ground beneath Yuto softened, and the salamander burrowed underground. He floated in mid-air instead of landing.
"If it were you from ten years ago, you'd definitely have the salamander hide underground for an ambush while you relied on water teleportation and poisoned weapons to engage me directly. A troublesome combination, but unfortunately..."
Yuto moved even faster towards a specific location.
"...unfortunately, now your first reaction to a strong enemy is to flee."
Sensing the Moon God appearing behind him, Hanzo had no choice but to pull out the chains and scythe he had fought with his entire life.
Bang!
The scythe struck the repulsive force shield. Yuto lowered his body and swiftly cut Hanzo's abdomen with a kunai, quick as lightning.
The poison sac ruptured.
The man known as a demi-god shuddered violently. That poison sac granted him extraordinary combat power but also brought him to the brink of death.
The poison spread throughout his body, his strength rapidly fading. The salamander's mournful cry echoed from underground, but a summoning beast could do nothing without its summoner's chakra. The salamander vanished with a puff.
Hanzo's body was paralyzed, the poison corroding every vein and blood vessel.
He knew he was close to death.
Damn Moon God... how did he know his weakness?
"Hanzo... compared to Hiruzen, you're too weak," Yuto remarked calmly as he watched the demi-god die. "When did you become this weak?"
"The younger you would've genuinely allied with the Akatsuki."
"When you were young, you fought for the dignity and survival of the Land of Rain, giving your all... at least in your youth, you were worthy of the title of demi-god."
"But now, you've changed. You no longer fight for the Land of Rain and Amegakure but for your own power and status!"
"A shinobi who betrays their own ninja way will find their jutsu weak and powerless."
"What a dull fight... Hanzo the Salamander."
Hanzo opened his mouth to speak but had no strength left.
Thud.
He collapsed, unable to rise again.
Under the gaze of the Half-Awakened Tenseigan, Hanzo's heartbeat ceased, and his chakra flow stopped.
Yuto flicked his fingers, sending a small serpent of repulsive force through Hanzo's neck, then twisted it violently, shattering the corpse.
When killing, make sure the job is finished.
Thinking this, Yuto glanced back at the deep cave and slowly walked towards it.
Yuto originally had no plan to kill Hanzo, but during the search operation, their accidental eye contact made him decide to kill.
He understood Hanzo's thoughts very well.
—Why did you kill Konan and cause Nagato to avoid the trap?
The power of the Fire Style: Exploding Flame Formation could at least destroy the legs of that sage-eyed freak if not kill him!
'No one else could know about the fire trap I set up there, but... you have the Byakugan.'
'Lone Lion colluded with the Akatsuki and saved Nagato by sacrificing Konan.'
This suspicion must have crossed Hanzo's mind countless times.
If he exchanged information with Danzo after today and learned that Yuto had indeed stayed with the Akatsuki for a month and that Nagato had even helped Lone Lion complete the infamous Lion's Fang Bite, the accusation of treason could be established.
But he didn't expect Yuto's counteraction to be so swift, nor did he expect Yuto to be the Moon God.
In the end, shinobi must speak with their kunai!
On the way to the cave, Yuto carefully reviewed the day's events. When he was sure there were no loose ends, he stood at the entrance.
At the end of his gaze, the purple Rinnegan stared back at him.
"Nagato," Yuto spoke, "Hanzo is dead."
"Moon God..." Nagato warily watched him, "We haven't met before."
"Fate has connected us."
"Moon God, as shinobi, we don't have the right to speak of fate."
"No, you're wrong, Nagato," Yuto's voice was soft:
"Fate is clear in our eyes."
'I'm looking for a pair of eyes similar to mine.'
Nagato suddenly remembered that sentence.
His heart raced, but at the same time, he felt relieved. Although he hadn't completely lowered his guard, he sensed that the Moon God's goal was not to kill him or take his Rinnegan.
Even in the Land of Rain, Nagato had heard of the Moon God's domineering nature. If he meant harm, he would've acted already.
"Please come in... Moon God-sama."
The mouth beneath Yuto's mask curled up slightly as he entered the cave.
At the end of the cave, a bloodied Nagato sat on the ground, with Yahiko and Konan beside him.
"Heh..." Yuto sighed:
"A soul embracing death combined with a body embracing death is hopeless and beyond saving."
Nagato instinctively glanced at Yahiko.
But suddenly, a thought struck him like lightning.
'A soul embracing death combined with a body embracing death is hopeless and beyond saving... could it mean that... those who haven't willingly embraced death can be saved?'
His lips trembled, and he struggled to speak:
"Konan, she..."
Of course, she can be saved because I'm the one who did this to her... wouldn't the poisoner have the antidote?
Yuto chuckled silently.
"She can."
But... Nagato.
Can you pay the price?
