Chapter 89: The Land of Rain, the Land of Eternal Weeping
The iron sand entangled Haneda's short sword and moved along the blade towards Haneda's hand.
At this time, Tiesha was no longer as powerless as before when facing Chidori!
Scorpion's Magnetic Release temporarily suppressed Haneda's Lightning Release!!
Haneda had no choice but to give up the dagger and retreat sideways.
The iron sand waves behind had covered half of the sky and were rushing towards Haneda.
The iron sand transformed into countless whip-like objects and swung towards Haneda.
And Scorpion has already reattached the prosthetic limb that was cut off by Haneda.
He waved his fingers and paddled towards Haneda elegantly and indifferently.
The chakra lines passed through layers of iron sand and reached Haneda's side, forcing Haneda to withdraw and defend himself.
At this moment, an iron sand whip hit Haneda's back and threw him onto a tree trunk more than ten meters away.
The huge force caused the tree to fall directly to the ground.
The cold and heavy rain was still falling, and in the dim environment, it seemed that there was no hope.
"You will pay the price for your arrogance, Uchiha Haneda."
rustling...
The footsteps are getting closer, it's the third generation Kazekage puppet!
"You are very strong, at least in the realm of jonin."
"But my art is superior to yours, and I won't give you any chance."
A nail condensed in the hand of the Third Kazekage puppet and aimed it at Haneda's head.
"Turn it into eternal art, Uchiha Haneda."
The nails formed by iron sand flew towards Haneda like bullets.
The iron nails grew bigger and bigger under Haneda's three-magatama Sharingan, and time slowed down.
But now he couldn't exert much strength.
And Scorpion's chakra lines also firmly fixed his body.
Haneda could clearly feel that death was approaching.
But at this moment, a silver-white figure blocked his way.
That was Konoha White Fang, his instructor - Hatake Sakumo!
"Sorry, I'm late."
Swish, brush, brush! !
Several knife lights flashed, the nails were knocked down, and Scorpion's chakra lines were also cut off.
Even the Third-generation Wind Shadow puppet five meters behind had a hole torn in it, revealing the body that had been transformed by puppetry on the chest.
"Uncle Sakumo!"
Haneda shouted excitedly.
At this time, not far from Scorpion, Kakuzu also came here.
There were several cuts on his clothes caused by sharp blades, and they were covered in blood, making him look very disheveled.
In fact, Kakuzu paid the price of two hearts for this.
If he didn't have five lives, he would be dead by now.
And this is the Konoha White Fang who is feared on the battlefield - Hatake Sakumo!
"Haneda, one of us must stay behind to cover our retreat."
Sakumo held the short sword in his hand and stared at Sasori and Kakuzu.
"Uncle Sakumo..."
"You won't last long if you stay now, and you'll be a burden to me."
"You are very smart, I am sure you understand this."
Sakumo still stood in front of Haneda, holding the silver-white dagger in front of his junior.
He said quietly:
"I promised Kakashi and the others that I would protect you. This is a man's promise."
"If I die, please go back and tell Kakashi that he is the son of a hero."
“This is your promise and your mission.”
Haneda's eyes were dim. He didn't expect that he would be protected as a burden like Asuma and Hong.
"Uncle Sakumo..."
"Be obedient! Kakashi, Obito, Kai and the others are waiting for you to return to Konoha!!"
Sakumo shouted sharply.
"Okay." Tears welled up in Haneda's eyes.
He nodded heavily, and after regaining some of his strength, he fled towards the Fire Nation.
There were only three people left on the battlefield.
Hatake Sakumo, Kakuzu, and Sasori.
"I didn't expect that you, who killed my parents, would show a tender side."
Scorpion just saw the shadows of his parents in Sakumo, and he once again let Haneda leave.
But Kakuzu didn't dare to rush forward alone.
Sakumo's strength is so strong that he vaguely feels like he is facing the Shodaime Hokage.
"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire grows."
"The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."
"This is the will of fire that has been passed down from the first generation of Konoha."
The heavy rain fell on Sakumo's sword, splashing water, and the remaining raindrops imprinted his face.
The Land of Rain is a country that cries forever.
…………
On the other side, Haneda was moving quickly towards the Fire Country.
He shuttled through the rainforest, jumping on the thick branches.
But at this moment, a group of masked ninjas blocked his way.
There are four people in total, a full-strength team.
"Who are you? Anbu, or Root?"
Haneda looked at the four people warily.
"Uchiha Haneda, Lord Danzo has taken a fancy to your eyes, so go and die!"
The masked ninja rushed towards Haneda with a kunai.
Haneda has just been seriously injured.
Even an immortal body would find it difficult to fully recover him in a short period of time.
He was totally incapable of fighting.
Haneda dodged to the right and glanced coldly at the ninja who was suspected to be from the Root.
He didn't know whether this was White Zetsu in disguise or a Root ninja guided by Madara and Black Zetsu.
However, none of this matters to Haneda.
Whether it is Madara, Black Zetsu, or Danzo, they are all his enemies.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the noisy sound of raindrops was ringing in my ears.
After a series of high-intensity escapes, Haneda has reached the end of his rope.
He looked at the dead end in front of him, a cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was a river, and he didn't know where it led to.
Haneda looked back and saw the four people following closely behind him.
He had had several brief encounters with them before.
"One day, I will kill you."
Haneda jumped towards the cliff without hesitation.
…………
At this time, Sakumo is on the battlefield with Sasori and Kakuzu.
The fight between the three of them was already very intense, and Sakumo was at an absolute disadvantage.
His right arm was shot by Scorpion's hidden weapon, and corroded by the venom. If the battle was delayed any further, he would surely die.
Both Scorpion and Horn understood this, and their actions were in tacit agreement: they pressed forward step by step and cut the flesh with a slow knife.
"Heroes will eventually grow old one day." Kakuzu sighed as he looked at Sakumo, who was breathing heavily with a dagger in his hand.
"It's time to end the enemy who killed my parents." Scorpion's indifferent voice sounded in the rainforest.
Scenes of himself squatting at the doorstep waiting for his parents to return appeared before his eyes.
The picture ends with the moment when he hears the news of his parents' death.
This was his hopeful childhood, but also his miserable childhood.
And today, all the misfortunes will end.
Scorpion didn't know why he didn't have a strong sense of pleasure from the impending revenge, but instead felt indifferent.
Perhaps it was because he was touched by Haneda and Sakumo's actions of cutting off the rear, or perhaps it was because his parents would never come back...
rustling...
There was a sound of footsteps coming from afar. The scorpion seemed to sense something and quickly retreated as if running away.
