Hanzo Naruto - Hanzo is among the dangerous legendary ninjas in Naruto, achieving a feat that even the Sannin, three powerful Konoha ninjas who later became renowned fighters themselves, struggled to match. What interesting facts about Hanzo in Naruto are there? Here's the list!

1. Hanzo's Birthdate is February 12th

Hanzo is a character in Naruto with an official birthdate in February. He was born on February 12th, making his zodiac sign Aquarius according to the real-world calendar.

2. He Named the Sannin - Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru

The title 'Sannin' was actually bestowed upon Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru by Hanzo. He gave them this name during their encounter in the Second Ninja World War. Facing the Konoha warriors, this formidable trio survived the battle, prompting Hanzo to acknowledge their prowess by dubbing them the Sannin.

Interestingly, despite their strength, it's evident that during the confrontation with Hanzo, all three of them failed to defeat him.

3. Danzo's Influence on Hanzo, Causing Turmoil in Akatsuki

Hanzo played a pivotal role in the tragedy that altered the course of Akatsuki. He lured Yahiko into a meeting where he coerced Nagato into killing Yahiko to save Konan's life.

In this dire situation, Yahiko made the sacrifice by impaling himself on Nagato's kunai. Interestingly, one of the reasons Hanzo considered Akatsuki a threat was the manipulation by Danzo. Therefore, the circumstances leading to Yahiko's death and Nagato subsequently becoming a threat can be considered one of Danzo's sins as well.

4. Ultimately Defeated by Pain

Throughout his life, Hanzo faced formidable ninjas, including the Sannin, Chiyo, and previously, Mifune. However, his demise came at the hands of Pain. Not only was Hanzo defeated, but everyone associated with him was also mercilessly slaughtered. Hanzo was denied a proper burial.

5. Despite Supposed Strength, Hanzo Could Be Defeated by Mifune upon his Resurrection

Hanzo was among the ninjas resurrected by Kabuto using Edo Tensei. He then faced Mifune during the Fourth Ninja World War, a battle occurring later in their lives.

Although a younger Hanzo had once defeated Mifune, in this confrontation, the tables turned, and Mifune emerged victorious. According to Mifune, Hanzo's loss of conviction had dulled his abilities.

This raises curiosity about whether this is another reason why Pain could relatively easily overcome Hanzo in a different encounter.

6. The Main Reason Hanzo is So Dangerous is Poison

Hanzo's body has been implanted with a pouch of black salamander poison since childhood. This renders him immune to poisons, and his own body is toxic. The reason he wears a mask is because his breath can poison the surroundings. Hanzo's poison is even used to enhance his weapons, making facing him exceptionally challenging.

7. Hanzo's Summoning Technique is Ibuse

Hanzo also possesses a unique Summoning Technique. In line with his poison abilities stemming from the black salamander poison pouch, he can summon a large salamander to aid him in battle. Like its master, Ibuse's abilities are also related to poison.
