Luo Hao: "[Picture] This guy."
Miyuki Uchiha: "Even though they got beaten so badly, they couldn't even recognize their human form… But it's really Sanshōu Hanzo, the so-called 'demigod' of Amegakure. Poor guy — and he actually ran into the Sect Leader's sister of all people."
Daemon: "Yeah… that's some serious bad luck."
Yamamoto Mei: "Everyone has their fate. Honestly, meeting Luo Hao and still surviving even a few minutes? Hanzo should already count himself lucky."
Luo Hao: "This guy's a 'demigod'? Seriously? At this level?"
Luo Hao glanced at Hanzo, who lay crumpled at her feet like a dead dog. She honestly couldn't figure out why anyone would call this man a 'demigod'.
Wasn't the peak power level in the Naruto world supposed to be at the "blow-up-a-star" scale?
Could Hanzo even shatter a mountain?
Naturally, Luo Hao — who didn't know much about anime — wasn't aware of the power creep that inevitably happened in long-running series.
In the early Naruto story, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was hailed as the strongest Hokage ever, and even Kakuzu could claim to have fought the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju… It made no sense, but that's just how it was.
Daemon: "Just think of it like… exaggerated advertising. It's not illegal to brag, right?"
Luo Hao: "Hmm… yeah, that makes sense."
Miyuki Uchiha: "....Poor Hanzo. But honestly, I'm more pitiful then him once Kushina abandoned me."
Luo Hao: "So, what do we do with him?"
She casually @ Daemon:
Luo Hao: "@Daemon — you want the kill? Might as well let you have the honor. He's a legend, after all. Maybe you'll get a good treasure out of it."
Daemon: "Thanks a lot,Mrs Luo Hao."
Luo Hao: "No need for thanks between friends. And just call me Luo Hao — or even Cuilian, if you want."
Miyuki Uchiha: "...."
Daemon: "....I'll stick with 'Luo Hao.' 'Cuilian' sounds way too weird."
Luo Hao: "Call me whatever you like. A name is just a label."
As they chatted idly in the group, Luo Hao dragged Hanzo's battered body back.
"Tch. Seriously unlucky," Miyuki muttered, glancing down at Hanzo's twisted face. "Born in a small country like the Land of Rain, constantly bullied by the big nations… Finally rose to fame, only to meet a literal godkiller from another world."
"You Konoha people were part of the ones bullying the Land of Rain, remember?" Daemon shot back, rolling his eyes.
Brushing Miyuki aside, he casually pulled an ordinary-looking sword from his Divine Treasury.
Fssht—
A single slash, clean and effortless.
Thus ended the life of Sanshōu Hanzo — the so-called demigod who once earned the Legendary Sannin their title.
Miyuki Uchiha grinned a little. "Well, with Hanzo dead, the Akatsuki can probably take over Amegakure way earlier. Might even save the place from being nothing more than a battlefield."
"Forget that boring guy!" Luo Hao interrupted, her eyes lighting up with curiosity. "I want to see it — like when gods are slain and treasures are born — what kind of Noble Phantasm did you get this time?"
Daemon scratched his head awkwardly. "Uh… it's kinda hard to explain."
He muttered the name:
"'Come, Demigod!' "
Hummm—
Golden light surged.
And in front of them… a golden figure slowly materialized.
"I-IS THAT GOLDEN TWINKLE?!"
Miyuki blurted out instinctively.
Even Yamamoto, watching the group chat's livestream, was stunned speechless.
Yamamoto Mei: "....Isn't that just Hanzo… dipped in gold?"
Sure enough, standing before them was Sanshōu Hanzo — but completely gilded. His skin, his clothes, even his pupils — all coated in a dazzling golden sheen.
It was so ridiculously extravagant that Miyuki's brain had just defaulted to Gilgamesh.
Daemon posted the Noble Phantasm info:
『Come, Demigod』
Level: 1
Category: Summoning Noble Phantasm (Permanently Liberated)
Attack Range: None
By slaying Sanshōu Hanzo — a 'demigod' in title — and using the divine power imbued by Hermes, a fantasy weapon was forged.
After activating this Noble Phantasm, Daemon could summon a younger, stronger version of Hanzo permanently under his command.
"It's...not that useful," Miyuki said immediately, trying to suppress her laughter.
Even Esdeath chimed in from the livestream:
Esdeath: "Indeed. Hanzo's gotten younger and stronger, but compared to Daemon's other treasures? Pretty mid-tier."
Sakura Tosaka: "It's okay! Brother Daemon will definitely get even better treasures later!"
Daemon: "I'll borrow your blessing, Sakura-chan. You're extra cute today, too."
Sakura Tosaka: "Hehe, Brother Daemon is super handsome too~!"
After flirting a bit in the group, Daemon turned back to Miyuki, smirking.
"Who said this treasure's useless?"
"I did!" Miyuki huffed. "Not handsome, not cool, just some random gold man. It's basically cannon fodder for your treasury!"
Daemon snorted. "Kings need kings. Chefs need chefs. You only know how to judge based on looks and brute strength."
Ignoring her protests, he turned to the golden Hanzo and gave an order:
"From now on, you are Sanshōu Hanzo who has mastered Sage Mode.
Find and bring the entire Akatsuki Organization under our control."
The golden Hanzo knelt respectfully: "Yes, my lord!"
And then immediately set off, moving with frightening speed.
"...Akatsuki Organization..."
Miyuki's beautiful eyes widened as she connected the dots.
She pointed at Daemon with trembling fingers, her voice shaking:
"You — you — your target isn't Konan, right?!"
Daemon just smiled.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Miyuki wailed in despair.
How could she forget?
With Hanzo alive and obedient, he could easily recruit the Akatsuki Organization.
And if that happened... wasn't Konan — her scheduled wife — already halfway into Daemon's hands?!
Miyuki's heart broke on the spot.
"No time to waste!" she shouted suddenly.
"If we delay any longer, who knows how many more of my future wives Daemon will steal!"
She barked out orders rapidly:
"Daemon! You take Senior Sister and Kushina to find the Third Raikage! I'll head straight for Iwagakure with Luo Hao's sister! MOVE MOVE MOVE! GO GO GO!"
