Sansho Hanzo, who was once given the title "Konoha Sannin", was the original leader of the Rain Ninja Village, and his nickname was "Demigod"
When Jiraiya I was very surprised when I heard that the bearded man said that the civil war ended because Pain wiped out Hanzo and Yu Ninja alone. It's no wonder that Hanzo gave them a deep impression when he faced the young Sannin. impression.
In fact, it is a bit ironic when it comes to the battle between the three ninjas to become famous. Maybe it was a meaningless battle that both sides won. It was probably 30 years ago, and the average age of the Sannin at that time was less than 20 years old.
But the other party is Hanzo, who is at his peak age of about 30 years old. Why is it called Sanpei Fish? We probably think that one of Kankuro's puppets is called Sanshouyu, because the quality of the picture is not very good, but the outline and a few parts can be clearly seen. Take a look at the picture below. Hanzo was standing on top of his own psychic beast. Compare the appearance of this psychic beast to Kankuro's puppet Sanshouyu. They both look like lizards. Then, refer to The names of those with psychic beasts, Tsunade is called Slug Tsunade, Jiraiya is called Toad Sage; Orochimaru, Sarutobi, etc. all have prefixes, suffixes, or individual names in their names. The word is related to the psychic beast, so I think Hanzo’s psychic beast is Sanshouyu.
Another point is that the battle scene we saw in the picture above took place in the rain. We know that Pain can use ninjutsu to rain by himself, so is Hanzo fighting the Sannin? Here, is the rain also Hanzo’s technique? I think most likely yes, why? Because the part Hanzo said in the red box in the picture above is about not falling until this point.
What does that mean? I think the rain was on the Sannin from the beginning. It played a certain role that prevented them from displaying their normal combat effectiveness from the beginning, and the rain's role was always effective. It might be reducing the enemy's CKL, or having toxic side effects and paralysis, or even absorbing the enemy's CKL. Wait, in short, it may be a very powerful auxiliary ninjutsu. Look, there is no blood around the fallen ninjas on the battlefield, and there are not many weapons used. I just saw a kunai and a dart. , maybe the general situation at that time was that the rain made ordinary ninjas in Konoha unable to hold on. A large number of Konoha ninjas fought with a small number of rain ninjas until they both died. Then the three ninjas fought to the end, although they were obviously defeated by Hanzo. , but being able to hold on to that point despite being preempted by Hanzo's rain at that time made Hanzo very admired, so he gave them the title of Sannin. But it is not safe to say that the Sannin lost to Hanzo because of that battle. After all, Hanzo was in his 30s at the time, in his prime, and his strength was at the peak of his life. (Otherwise, he would not have dared to attack Konoha rashly without a certain amount of strength. ) and the Sannin at that time were still less than 20 years old and had no fighting experience at all (otherwise they would not have been assassinated by Hanzo's rain), and they were plotted by Hanzo's rain, so their original strength was not fully utilized. , and Orochimaru had not developed forbidden techniques at that time, and Tsunade was still in love with that Duan (note here, it was raining when Duan died. Did he die in this battle, but it is probably not possible), and it seems that the Sannin didn't know how to be psychic at that time. So losing is normal. But it doesn't mean that Hanzo at that time could easily defeat the Sannin 30 years later. But Hanzo's strength is undoubtedly strong, otherwise his popularity would not be so high. The Sannin is used as a reference here. If the strength of the Sannin at that time was stronger than the average elite jounin, it should be acceptable. , maybe similar to the Kakashi of Ten Thousand Flowers, so in addition to dealing with ordinary ninjas in Konoha, Hanzo also has to deal with these three people, which is quite strong. But here I kind of like Hanzo's style of cherishing talents. He is optimistic about the potential and development prospects of the Sannin, and he doesn't particularly like killing. But if Hanzo hadn't used Rain to control the situation first, Hanzo might not have won the Sannin so quickly. After all, the Sannin's strength had reached the quasi-kage level at the time. AB’s intention in introducing this battle here is to use Hanzo’s defeat to reflect the strength of the Akatsuki organization.
It is mentioned in Chapter 446 that under the threat of Hanzo, Nagato was forced to kill Yahiko.
In order to save Konan, Yahiko was willing to hit Nagato's kunai! According to Nagato's age, he is now about 40 years old. According to Choji's description, Tendo Payne (Yahiko) is about 25 to 30 years old, so it is estimated that this incident happened 10 to 15 years ago!
About Hanzo’s death
In Chapter 447, Nagato attacked Hanzo with the Demon Elephant of the Heretic (which is the prototype of the trick used by the Human World to extract human souls). As a result, Hanzo He escaped with the teleportation technique, so I think Hanzo's current life and death is still a mystery. He is very likely still alive. Facing Nagato's powerful ninjutsu, Hanzo has no choice but to hand over the power and observe secretly. , I think it is very likely that Nagato and his gang have been tracking Hanzo's whereabouts. Perhaps Hanzo will appear as a formal character in the future instead of living in people's memories. The rumors about his death were learned from the minions in the Rain Ninja Village. Even if he was really killed, he should have died in the hands of Nagato, but in the impression of the minions, he died in the hands of Yahiko, so It is possible that Nagato was destroyed by the power of heaven.
In order to seize power, he will do whatever it takes, even ignoring Yuyin's post-disaster reconstruction, and he is also good at sneak attacks. Dirty guy.
Hanzo’s death
When Hanzo was killed by Yahiko, we can see that Nagato acquiesced to it at that time. From this, we can infer that Nagato must be He killed Hanzo under the control of the Rinnegan, and Hanzo's death was indirectly caused by Nagato. In addition, after Hanzo's death, Nagato did not mention the matter for a long time. Until the rumors came out, Nagato had no choice but to track down Hanzo on the surface in order to cover up the situation. It can be seen that Hanzo knew Nagato's secret or was the reincarnation eye. The secret of being killed.
