This white-masked, black-cloaked man actually dared to say he'd never heard of Han's name.
It really infuriated him. He had been implanted with the Five-Tails since he was young, becoming the village's Five-Tails Jinchuriki.
After bitter training, he could now control the Tailed Beast with skill. He had made countless contributions to Iwagakure.
He could even use steam to unleash immense power. In the Shinobi World, he dared to say he was one of the top few. That was why he had the title of Steam Ninja.
Not many ninjas in the Shinobi World had titles. This guy's comment was clearly mocking him.
"Now I'll let you see the power of the Steam Ninja, what it means to be one of the top strength-type taijutsu users in the Shinobi World."
As soon as the words fell, two massive jets of white steam erupted from his back. His entire aura changed dramatically, giving off a strong oppressive feeling.
He swung his fists and charged toward the person who had mocked him.
Zabuza naturally sensed the rising aura of the opponent.
This kind of aura gave him immense pressure. If he were to deal with this, he would definitely be extremely cautious.
But now it's not his turn to take the field. What he could do was grab Haku with one hand, and Fu with the other, then directly run backward.
He definitely couldn't let these two little guys get caught in the battle.
The God King still values these two people very much.
Ryosuke naturally noticed Zabuza's actions and made a very wise decision. And when he heard the opponent speak of one of the top powers in the Ninja World, he also became interested.
Originally, he wanted to directly activate the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and, while the opponent was not paying attention, use the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to activate a genjutsu to control the opponent and the tailed beast inside him. Catching him off guard, the opponent shouldn't have had time to react, and would be controlled by the illusion.
But he decided not to do that, because the other dared to speak arrogantly. Let him experience one of the top taijutsu-type ninjas in the ninja world.
It must be known that the strongest taijutsu in the ninja world is the Eight Gates Released Formation, and the strongest taijutsu ninja is, of course, him, others can only be ranked second.
Not to mention, as time goes on, he will only grow stronger.
As long as time is enough, even that so-called Ōtsutsuki God, he could tear apart alive, this is his confidence.
He looked at Han, whose entire back was emitting surging steam.
He directly reached out and hooked his finger.
"The arrogant one is you. Let me see how much you really weigh." After saying that, he instantly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Then, swinging his fist, he rushed forward. He really wanted to see how strong the opponent's fists were. And Han clearly felt the opponent's contempt. This guy was so arrogant, he actually wanted to compete with him in raw strength.
Even if the opponent was truly Uchiha Madara, it still wouldn't work.
The steam behind him became even denser, and the power in his hands surged even more.
"Eat my punch." The two fists collided, and centered on the two of them, a powerful cyclone burst out.
They kept confronting each other like this, neither giving way to the other.
And in the distance, watching the fight, were Zabuza, Haku, and Fu.
'The God King actually didn't bring out that move, Complete Body Susanoo, but instead chose to compete with the opponent in strength. He must have been angered by the opponent's words and wanted to give the opponent a proper warning.'
It must be known that Zabuza had seen the God King's taijutsu before. He didn't believe the God King's taijutsu was weak, on the contrary, it was extremely strong.
Because he had seen the God King use the Eight Gates Released Formation. Even the flames had turned white under the explosion of chakra.
Obviously, the God King did not use the Eight Gates to enhance taijutsu, but to enhance ninjutsu.
One can only say that the God King is a bit wild and imaginative. But this does not mean the God King can't use the Eight Gates to enhance taijutsu.
Even if the God King didn't use the Eight Gates at that time, he still wasn't far from being unbeatable. So if the God King used the Eight Gates now, how strong would his taijutsu be?
Once, a mere genin from Konoha directly kicked four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to death.
You must know, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, each one had at least elite jonin-level strength.
Even if they hadn't reached that level on their own, the powerful ninja swords gave them that level of capability.
Some even had elite jonin-level strength themselves, and with the Mist Village's special ability ninja swords, their power could even approach kage-level.
But even so, four of them were kicked to death by a genin. When he first heard this news, he was shocked.
So just imagine, if the current power of the God King is far beyond kage-level, even if he doesn't open the death-bound Eighth Gate, if he opens just Seven Gates, how powerful would that be?
It would be unimaginably powerful. And if a genin could master the Eight Gates, the God King definitely could too.
If he were to open the Eighth Gate, it would truly be terrifying, but there's no need.
The God King probably wouldn't open the death-bound Eighth Gate, there's no opponent worth that.
So even if the God King doesn't use Susanoo-like techniques, just his taijutsu alone would be enough to crush this Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han.
On the battlefield, Han looked at this person who was evenly matched with him in shock, this guy could actually go toe-to-toe with him.
His strength came from the assistance of the steam armor and his already extremely strong body. But the opponent was using just his physical strength, without using any extra means.
'Damn it, he's really kind of strong.'
And Ryosuke, as he clashed with Han, also felt the pressure. Even without opening the Eight Gates now, for there to be someone in the ninja world who could rival him in strength, this was already quite something.
Such power was enough to make him take things seriously. The opponent was not a weakling.
Looking at the surging steam behind the opponent, he sighed and said, "Not bad, not bad. I acknowledge your name, you really do have something."
But to the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han, this wasn't a compliment, he didn't feel pleased, only humiliated.
His punch could directly destroy a small mountain. But the opponent had blocked his heavy, powerful strike. It made him seem a bit weak.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the opponent was truly strong.
"You're not bad either. But that's no reason for you to talk big."
"Boil Release: Unmatched Strength."
In one breath, he raised his chakra to the boiling point, letting his whole body's strength rise in an instant.
Then steam gushed out of his whole body, even his arms emitted steam, as he rushed to defeat this arrogant enemy in front of him and prove his power.
This time Ryosuke was no longer so calm, his expression turned serious as he earnestly met this strike.
Their clash even caused cracks to appear on the ground again and again.
If the ground weren't solid rock, they would've sunken it long ago.
