Chapter 392 The First Collision between Wolf and Steam

Ohnoki showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and his eyes twitched slightly. Although he tried to maintain his dignity, he could not hide his inner unhappiness. He frowned slightly, glanced at Garou coldly, and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, "The Garou of your New Konoha is really worthy of his reputation. His skills are so amazing, it really opened my eyes."

His tone was calm, but mixed with a hint of sarcasm, "It seems that the strong men cultivated by the new Konoha no longer need to rely on any ninjutsu. They can easily defeat the elites of my Iwagakure Village with just a pair of fists. It's really admirable, admirable... However, I am curious, I don't know what kind of 'special' means are behind this power?"

Drome still maintained a gentle smile, not moved by Ōnoki's words at all. He nodded slightly, his tone gentle and polite, "Thank you for the compliment, Tsuchikage-sama. Mr. Garou is indeed a capable warrior of our New Konoha, and his strength is naturally unquestionable. As for the so-called 'means', they are just the result of his diligent training, and there is nothing special about them. We in New Konoha always believe that strength is gained through real talent and continuous hard work."

Drome's words were gentle but firm, and he was obviously not easily affected by Ōnoki's provocation. His expression remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

Akatsuki stood aside, and seeing Huangtu defeated, a nameless anger surged in his heart. He clenched his fists, his knuckles slightly white from exerting force, and stared at Kakashi standing aside with burning eyes, the will to fight burning in his chest. His eyes were full of challenge, as if he couldn't wait to fight and regain face for his village.

Kakashi's expression was still stern, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he didn't care about Akagi's fighting spirit. The face covered by the mask was still so calm, with only one exposed eye staring coldly ahead, as if he was used to such a situation.

Ohnoki raised his hand slightly, signaling both sides to calm down. His eyes swept over Akatsuki and Kakashi, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Huangtu has just demonstrated his strength, then next, it is the turn of Akatsuki and this elite of Konoha to play. I hope you two can feast our eyes."

Upon hearing this, Akagi immediately turned to Ōnoki and said in a firm tone: "Lord Tsuchikage, please rest assured! I will live up to your expectations and make this battle bring glory to the Iwagakure Village!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence and fighting spirit, and it was obvious that he was fully prepared.

However, at this moment, Han suddenly interrupted the conversation. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it carried a natural deterrent force, "Let me fight the next battle. After all, I can't just sit there and watch when guests come."

Han's voice echoed in the arena, and his tall figure slowly walked towards the battlefield, his steps steady and powerful. The bamboo hat on his head drooped slightly, revealing a pair of sharp eyes under the red mask, and the red armor on his body exuded a heavy aura, and the whole person was like a moving mountain.

Chi Tu was surprised when he heard this, but then he bowed to Han respectfully and said, "Lord Han, if you are willing to help, this battle will definitely be more exciting!"

Han nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Ōnoki, and said calmly but confidently, "Tsuchikage-sama, I am here to meet the new Konoha elites on behalf of the Iwagakure Village. This is also considered to be doing my part for the village."

Oonoki pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze slightly to Drome, and said in a steady but inquiring tone, "Since Han wants to play, we should listen to Mr. Drome's opinion. What do you think?"

Drome still maintained his gentle smile, nodded, and responded without hesitation, "Of course no problem, Lord Tsuchikage." Then he turned to look at Kakashi, with a hint of relief in his tone, "Kakashi, what do you think?"

Kakashi's expression remained calm. He nodded slightly, his tone calm and respectful, "I will follow your instructions, no matter who my opponent is."

Seeing that neither Drome nor Kakashi had any objections, Ohnoki turned to Han and said in a deep voice, "Since Mr. Drome agrees, this battle is up to you, Han."

Han's eyes flashed with a gleam of confidence. He nodded slightly, and said in a low and firm voice, "Lord Tsuchikage, don't worry, I will never let the Iwagakure Village down."

When Hungry Wolf, who was about to retreat from the battlefield, heard that Han was going to take over, he immediately felt the powerful force emanating from Han's body. His eyes instantly became sharp, as if he had caught his prey. He turned around suddenly, looked directly at Han, his eyes full of fighting spirit, and shouted to Drom, "Drom, let me deal with this guy!" As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Han, his tone full of eagerness to fight.

Ohnoki looked at this scene, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes, then he turned to Drom and said lightly, "It seems that your men are also very interested in this battle."

Drom smiled softly, turned around and asked Kakashi again, "Kakashi, what do you think?"

Kakashi remained calm as always and shrugged slightly, "I will still follow orders, whether fighting or watching."

Drome nodded, his tone was full of determination, "Okay, then let Garou fight this battle." He then turned to Ōnoki and said with a smile, "Lord Tsuchikage, Garou can't wait any longer, why not let him fight Lord Han."

Ohnoki's eyes moved to Han, and after a moment, he nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in his tone, "Han, this battle depends on you."

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Han's eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He responded in a deep voice, "Lord Tsuchikage, I will definitely do my best."

Upon seeing this, Ohnoki immediately stood up and said in a loud and majestic voice, "Then, I declare that this battle will be between Han and Garou!"

Han and Garou were facing each other in the center of the battlefield. The air around them seemed to be stagnant due to the strong aura between the two. Han stood like a mountain, wearing red armor, with calm and deep eyes. But under his calm appearance, his consciousness had already begun to communicate with the Five-Tailed King Mu in his body.

King Mu's voice echoed in Han's mind, deep and powerful, with a hint of uneasy warning: "Han, this opponent should not be underestimated. His momentum swept over like a storm, and there was an extremely dangerous power hidden in it. I felt his fighting spirit, but what concerned me more was that there seemed to be an energy in his body that was completely different from our tailed beast chakra. It was a pure destructive force, as if it did not belong to this world.

King Mu's tone was cautious, "You have to be careful, his strength is not just physical, it is more likely to bring some unpredictable threats."

Han frowned slightly, his eyes becoming more serious. He replied to King Mu in his mind: "I understand, King Mu. Although his momentum is indeed extraordinary, I will not back down easily. We have faced many powerful enemies together, and this time is no exception. No matter how strong the opponent is, I will go all out and never let him succeed easily."

Garou's eyes were fixed on Han. His senses were extremely sharp, and he could clearly feel the fiery power in Han's body. It was pure heat, as if magma was surging in his body, full of potential for explosion. Garou could feel that this heat was not just from the chakra of ninjutsu, but a more primitive power, as if it contained endless flames.

A hint of excitement flashed through Garou's heart. "The power in this guy's body seems to be extraordinary. It's not just ordinary chakra, but something more powerful. His power is completely different from the ninjas I met before. It's full of wildness and primitive power."

The wolf's eyes became sharper, and his body leaned forward slightly, like a hunting beast about to launch a fatal attack. The desire to fight in his heart made his blood boil, "Interesting, really interesting. I want to see if this power can really block my attack."

The two men's eyes met in the air, and the aura of battle gradually rose in the air. The tense atmosphere on the battlefield reached its peak, as if a thunderous collision would occur in the next second.

A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the hungry wolf. His body suddenly started to move, and he turned into a black lightning and rushed towards Han. The ground under his feet cracked due to his explosive power, making a "crackling" sound. The hungry wolf was extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he had already approached Han. Then, his powerful right leg swept out like a whip, and hit Han's side with a sharp gust of wind. The power was so great that it seemed that a huge rock could be smashed.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Garou's kick collided with Han's armor. The recoil from the armor made Garou feel an unprecedentedly strong force. Han did not step back, but crossed his arms in front of him, taking Garou's powerful blow.

At the moment of the collision, a low vibration sound was emitted in the air, as if the surrounding space was slightly distorted by the force of this blow. The ground shook violently due to the impact force, and the stone slab under Han's feet instantly cracked, with broken stones flying everywhere. The surrounding air seemed to be compressed, making a low "buzzing" sound.

Although Han's arms blocked the attack, he did not stop. His armor instantly released a large amount of steam. With a "hiss", the steam burst out from the gaps in his body, forming a strong airflow impact, which directly hit the hungry wolf. The steam was hot and pounced on the hungry wolf like a beast. There was a faint burning smell in the air.

The wolf immediately retreated, flipping his body in the air, nimbly avoiding Han's steam attack. With his toes lightly tapping the ground, he landed steadily a few meters away. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead he was full of strong fighting spirit. He stared at Han closely, a smile full of fighting spirit appeared on the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Not bad, you are really a tough guy! But this is interesting!"

Garou's heartbeat quickened, and his desire to fight was fully aroused. He felt that he was facing a truly strong opponent, an opponent worthy of his all-out efforts. The air was filled with steam and burning breath, and the battle between the two was about to enter a more intense stage.
