Mifune VS Hanzô 2012
7.7 198 As the Surprise Attack Division attempt to retreat the the rendezvous point, they are chased by Akatsuki's reinforcements. Summoning his salamander Ibuse, Hanzou orders it to attack. Unleashing a paralyzing mist of poison, the division is rendered paralyzed and left at Hanzou's mercy. However Mifune and his division soon arrive and he deflects the would-be devastating blow. Conversing about the past and the paths they had chosen to walk, as the two trade blows, Mifune is able to break Hanzou's sickle and respirator. Finally remembering his encounter with Mifune in life, Hanzou moves towards his broken kusarigama and using the blade commits seppuku, telling Mifune that he entrusts him with his conviction. This act cuts the poisonous sac that had been in Hanzou's body since he was a child, and causes the poison to leak out and evaporate. Shocking Kabuto Yakushi, Hanzou's body ceases to respond to his orders and the legendary shinobi is soon bound and sealed.
