*************************************************************
The heavy rain poured down, and Chiye stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, the blood-red patterns in his Mangekyo Sharingan slowly rotating.
The rain washed away the bloodstains on his face, but it couldn't wash away the deathly aura permeating the air.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Chiye murmured, his Sharingan's vision piercing through the rain, locking onto the rapidly retreating figure.
His ocular power erupted again, and the six-petaled Manjusaka pattern bloomed in his eyes.
Invisible death ripples spread out from Chiye, and wherever they passed, the bodies of the Amegakure Ninja withered rapidly like dried tree bark.
Terrified screams rose and fell, only to cease abruptly in an instant.
Hanzo's figure suddenly paused, and he was horrified to find his arm aging at a visible rate.
His skin wrinkled, muscles atrophied, and life force was being frantically drained.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"
As his voice rang out, his body immediately exploded into countless water droplets, merging into the torrential rain.
Chiye frowned, his Sharingan rapidly scanning his surroundings.
"Water Clone?!"
Chiye's gaze sharpened.
He quickly looked around, his Sharingan's perception clearly capturing the trajectory of every raindrop, yet he found no trace of Hanzo's true body.
"As expected of the 'Demigod,' truly cunning..."
Rainwater trickled down Chiye's cheeks, mixing with the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth and dripping into the mud.
His back was straight, like a perfectly upright spear.
The patterns in his Sharingan flickered on and off in the rain.
Hanzo's figure reformed not far away, this time, his hand signs became unusually slow and heavy.
"To force me to use this move..."
Hanzo's voice suddenly became low and hoarse.
"Uchiha brat, you should feel honored."
His hands suddenly clasped together, and the accumulated water on the ground suddenly began to boil.
Three Water Clones split from the rainwater, surrounding Chiye in a triangular formation.
Each clone began to form different hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu: Salamander!"
"Boom—!!!"
Amidst deafening explosions, thick smoke and water mist soared into the sky.
The ground trembled violently, and a giant salamander, twenty meters long, burst out of the earth, its slimy grayish-brown skin glistening eerily in the rain.
From its gaping maw, sharp poisonous fangs dripped corrosive slime, scorching sizzling pits into the ground.
"Roar!!!"
The salamander let out a deafening roar, its thick tail sweeping across.
Chiye instantly dodged, and the ground where he had been was smashed into a ten-meter-diameter crater.
As soon as he landed, the poisonous glands on the salamander's back suddenly sprayed dozens of venomous arrows!
Flames and venom collided in mid-air, evaporating into purple poisonous mist.
Chiye channeled Chakra into his feet and leaped up, his Mangekyo Sharingan locking onto Hanzo's main body atop the salamander's head.
However, just as he was about to activate his ocular jutsu, the accumulated water beneath his feet suddenly transformed into chains, entangling his ankles.
"A Water Clone trap? When did..."
The salamander's giant tail was already whistling towards him.
Chiye's feet were tightly bound by the water chains, and the salamander's giant tail, accompanied by the sound of rushing air, swept towards him.
The shadow of death loomed, but a cold arc formed on his lips.
"Got you all..."
The blood-red patterns in his Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly bloomed fiercely, and the six-petaled Manjusaka pattern radiated an eerie light in the rain.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Buzz!
Invisible death ripples suddenly spread out from Chiye.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, raindrops froze in mid-air, and the entire world was tinged with a sickly dark red.
The first to bear the brunt was the giant salamander that was sweeping across.
Its slimy grayish-brown skin shriveled and cracked at a visible rate, and its originally fierce eyes instantly became covered with a layer of ashen gray.
"Hiss..."
Accompanied by a chilling sucking sound, the salamander's massive body began to rapidly shrink.
Muscles atrophied, bones twisted, and within a mere three seconds, this behemoth transformed into a shriveled husk, collapsing to the ground like a broken rag.
The three Water Clones simultaneously let out agonizing screams.
Their bodies twisted and deformed like punctured water balloons, their moisture forcibly drained by some irresistible force.
"No... impossible..."
One of the clones struggled to reach out a hand.
Before he could finish, the three Water Clones simultaneously burst, turning into countless scattered water droplets.
Every single water droplet shattered into several pieces the moment it hit the ground.
Just then.
A mass of rainwater condensed in the air, and Hanzo's figure appeared behind Chiye like a ghost.
The chained scythe in his hand gleamed with a cold, bluish light, clearly coated with potent poison, as it swung down towards his neck.
"Die, Uchiha brat!"
Hanzo's main body sneered, the poison on the scythe enough to kill Chiye instantly.
Chiye deliberately shifted his body to the side, his gaze more serene than ever before.
Just as the scythe touched his skin, the ocular power of his other Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly unleashed.
"Karma Cycle!"
The cold scythe pierced through Chiye's back shoulder to his abdomen, and time seemed to freeze.
Hanzo could clearly feel the blade cutting through flesh and blood, the poisoned edge piercing through the young Uchiha's defenses without hindrance.
He watched as Chiye coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body staggering forward.
Hanzo did not pursue immediately but slowly withdrew the scythe, allowing the potent poison to spread within Chiye's body.
He gazed at the young man kneeling on the ground, a hint of regret actually appearing in his eyes.
Hanzo's hoarse voice echoed in the rain.
"Your ocular jutsu, your talent, are truly the greatest I've ever seen.
It's even possible you could become the next Uchiha Madara."
"What a pity..."
Chiye struggled to lift his head, his Mangekyo Sharingan still stubbornly rotating, his vision already blurring from the spreading poison.
"But..."
Hanzo shook his head, rainwater dripping from the brim of his straw hat.
"Battle experience, after all, is not something talent can make up for."
He slowly approached, the chain dragging on the ground with a grating sound.
"You thought you saw through my Water Clones? That was just me deliberately letting you see through them."
Hanzo stopped in front of Chiye, looking down at the moment of this genius's downfall.
"The true killing blow is always hidden where you can't see it."
Chiye's fingers dug deep into the muddy ground, the patterns in his Sharingan still struggling to flicker.
"No need to be unwilling."
Hanzo raised his scythe, the tip of the blade resting against Chiye's throat, a hint of world-weariness in his eyes.
"To push me to this extent, you are already proud enough. You're even stronger than those three from Konoha, it's just..."
His voice suddenly became incredibly cold.
"The fall of a genius often happens in an instant."
Just as the scythe was about to slice through his throat, the surrounding environment changed.
When his vision returned, Hanzo's eyes widened.
At this moment, he was half-kneeling in front of Uchiha Chiye, and the scythe in his hand had fallen far away.
He now felt the rupture of his own poison sac in his abdomen, the venom successfully invading his internal organs.
His Chakra was also disrupted and couldn't be mobilized, and his back was covered in his own viscous blood.
This position, wasn't this where he had stabbed this Uchiha?
How could this be!!
"This... impossible?!"
Hanzo stared at Uchiha Chiye, his eyes wide.
Then he coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his complexion rapidly turning ashen.
Chiye slowly approached, looking down at him.
"Hanzo, how do your blade and poison feel?"
Hanzo knelt on the ground, his consciousness gradually blurring.
With his poison sac ruptured, even he couldn't withstand this poison.
This Uchiha actually...
He struggled to look up, staring intently at Chiye's eyes.
Could it be these eyes?
"What exactly are these eyes..."
"A dying man doesn't need to know too much."
Chiye said coldly.
Hanzo wanted to say something else, but a kunai was pressed against his neck.
With a swift slice, he could no longer make a sound.
His body fell heavily, splashing mud.
The "Demigod" of Hidden Rain Village had fallen.
Chiye was not careless; he took out a kunai.
He went around the battlefield, delivering finishing blows to the Ninja who had not been affected by Yomotsu Hirasaka, and only when he confirmed there were no living people left did he let out a long sigh of relief.
He hadn't used his Mangekyo Sharingan many times just now.
But even these few times, the side effects caused his vision to black out.
The Mangekyo Sharingan slowly disappeared, returning to his normal black eyes.
He gathered Chakra at his feet and quickly retreated.
In the rain, his figure gradually faded into the distance.
