Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra-Chapter 197: - : Kill

Boom!

Thunderous explosions echoed through the battlefield as terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions, distorting the very air. Everything caught in the blast radius was instantly reduced to dust.

Jiraiya unleashed a series of devastating attacks, nearly depleting his chakra reserves in the process. However, his natural recovery was remarkable—his cells rapidly divided, producing fresh chakra to replenish what had been drained. In mere moments, he had already regained thirty percent of his chakra.

As the aftershocks subsided, the ground where Hanzō had once stood was now a massive crater.

Kneeling within the pit, Hanzō gasped for breath. His trusted summon, the giant salamander, was nowhere to be seen—blown to bits by Jiraiya's assault. Despite its immense power, the beast had served no purpose in this battle, falling in an instant.

Hanzō himself was gravely injured, his aura weak and unstable. While Jiraiya's relentless barrage had failed to end his life, it had left him in a dire state, his strength drastically diminished. Truthfully, had it not been for his summon absorbing the brunt of the attack, he would likely be dead.

Now, barely clinging to life, Hanzō's mind raced with shock and disbelief. He struggled to understand how Jiraiya's chakra reserves could be so vast.

Could it be... does he possess the same legendary Body as Hashirama Senju?

The thought sent a chill down his spine.

The name of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, was spoken in awe across the ninja world. His chakra was said to be boundless—capable of suppressing even the Nine-Tails with a single hand.

Realizing the terrifying possibility before him, Hanzō gritted his teeth and forced his battered body to retreat. He no longer had the courage to continue this fight. If Jiraiya truly possessed a chakra reserve comparable to Hashirama's, then victory was impossible. With his injuries, survival was now his only priority.

I can't die here... If I fall, the Land of Rain is doomed.

Hanzō knew he was no longer Jiraiya's match, but if he could make it back to the village, he could rely on its fortifications to hold him at bay.

Jiraiya watched as the legendary Hanzō fled, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

"Still quick to run when things go south, huh?"

...

"Lord Hanzō lost..."

"It's over... It's all over. We have no hope left."

"The future of the Land of Rain is finished."

"What do we do? What do we do now?! Even Lord Hanzō was defeated!"

Seeing their leader in full retreat, the Rain shinobi collapsed to their knees, eyes filled with despair. Hanzō had been their pillar of strength, their unwavering shield against outside forces. Now, with him defeated, it felt as if their entire world had crumbled.

Regardless of whether they supported surrender or war, in this moment, they all felt the same fear creeping into their hearts.

Meanwhile, the shinobi of the Land of Fire, momentarily stunned by Jiraiya's overwhelming power, erupted into triumphant cheers.

"Jiraiya-sama actually did it! He took down Hanzō, the so-called Demi-God!"

"Hanzō has ruled as one of the strongest shinobi in the world, but Jiraiya-sama just crushed him like it was nothing! Doesn't that mean Jiraiya-sama is the new Demi-God of the ninja world?!"

"What are you talking about? Jiraiya-sama is still young, and he's already this powerful! The title of 'Demi-God' isn't enough—he's going to be the next God of Shinobi!"

...

Tsunade, who had been anxiously watching the battle, finally exhaled in relief. A smile spread across her face as the tension in her heart eased.

She had been deeply worried for Jiraiya, afraid that he might not be able to match Hanzō and that he might lose his life in the battle. But now, seeing his overwhelming victory, she could finally relax.

...

"It's too late to run now."

Jiraiya's figure blurred as he shot forward, relentlessly pursuing Hanzō.

With his chakra almost fully recovered, and Hanzō already grievously injured, Jiraiya wasn't about to let him escape. Killing Hanzō here and now would send a message to the entire ninja world.

If I want to unify the shinobi world, Hanzō could be a valuable subordinate. But even if he's defeated, making him submit won't be easy. The pride of a so-called Demi-God won't allow it.

...

"Stop him! Now!"

Seeing Jiraiya closing in, Hanzō roared at his remaining forces.

Without hesitation, the elite jōnin of the Land of Rain sprang into action, charging at Jiraiya in unison. Though shaken by Hanzō's defeat, they still placed their trust in him. Their country's future depended on his survival.

They're willing to die for him... Jiraiya noted their determination but remained unfazed.

A colossal Rasengan formed in his palm, its violent winds howling as it surged forward. The Rain shinobi desperately unleashed jutsu to counter it, but their techniques were obliterated instantly. One by one, they were caught in the blast, their bodies crushed into the ground, reduced to nothing but unrecognizable remains.

Jiraiya pushed forward without pause, hands flashing through a rapid series of seals.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Golden chains burst from his body, twisting through the air like living dragons before lashing out at Hanzō.

Hanzō's expression darkened. He had seen Jiraiya use this technique before—strong enough to suppress even Shukaku. If those chains wrapped around him, he would be doomed.

With a final desperate effort, he unleashed a powerful Water Release technique, sending a massive tidal wave crashing toward Jiraiya.

Jiraiya swung the Lightning Flame Blade, unleashing a blinding arc of chakra-infused light. The slash cleaved through the tidal wave in an instant, splitting it apart as if it were nothing more than mist.

Before Hanzō could react, the golden chains ensnared him, wrapping tightly around his limbs. Glowing seals spread across his body as his chakra was forcefully suppressed.

The so-called Demi-God of the ninja world had been completely bound—unable to move, unable to resist.

"Jiraiya... if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!" Hanzō roared, his voice filled with desperate rage.
