Suikazan Fuguki felt his head itching, as if he was about to grow a brain.
There was no attack seen, no hand seals formed, and this group of people didn't even have Chakra.
Yet, with just one imposing shout, over three hundred water bullets shattered like that?
Could it be that the Ninja World was changing too fast, and their Hidden Mist Village had fallen behind?
Did Ninjutsu clashes now no longer require hand seals or Chakra, but instead, whoever had the loudest voice was stronger??
Kisame Hoshigaki, however, lowered his eyelids, deep in thought.
Hado #1: Sho?
Although he didn't know the meaning of these words, he understood that they must be related to the sudden change just now.
Considering the state of the water bullets when they were shattered,
Clear?
Could it be a Ninjutsu related to 'clear'?
But didn't the intelligence say that these people had no Chakra in their bodies?
With some doubts in his heart, Kisame Hoshigaki once again had the sensory Ninja verify it.
After confirming that there were indeed no signs of Chakra, Kisame Hoshigaki felt even more strange.
Without Chakra, how did they use Ninjutsu?
Even the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were somewhat surprised.
However, they didn't think as much as Kisame Hoshigaki. In the face of absolute strength, any means were useless.
And they were the absolute strength at this very moment!
Suikazan Fuguki's head itched more and more. He frantically scratched his head, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, decided to experiment himself.
He formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!!"
Rumble!!
The calm sea suddenly became turbulent, and giant waves obscured the sun, sweeping towards the Shinigami.
Kurotsuchi Raiga, standing next to Suikazan Fuguki, suffered greatly. His ears were ringing, and he roared, "Why are you shouting so loudly!"
Suikazan Fuguki didn't pay attention to him; instead, he carefully observed the Great Waterfall Technique.
He wondered if it was psychological or something, but he felt that the Great Waterfall Technique seemed, should, possibly be a little stronger?
On the other side, Togakure Rikuu frowned deeply, his face covered in shadows cast by the waves.
He gripped the Zanpakuto in his hand tightly.
He was very surprised that there was someone among the enemies who could unleash an attack of such terrifying power!
Such a person was beyond his ability to deal with.
Taking a deep breath, Togakure Rikuu said in a deep voice, "Retreat! First, retreat from the range of the waves!!"
At the same time, Sakumo Hatake, who had rushed from Konoha, had arrived at the battle location early after bypassing the Uzushigakure' defenses.
He had been observing here for some time.
He was also very puzzled by this new force that had appeared in the Uzushigakure.
They look like Samurai, but they also possess a type of Ninjutsu that doesn't require hand signs?
More crucially, every single one of these Samurai seems to be able to use this Unmarked Ninjutsu.
In his understanding, Unmarked Ninjutsu is a type of Ninjutsu with a very high barrier to entry.
But in the hands of this group of Samurai, it seems to have become commonplace.
Although he wanted to investigate the background of these Samurai, under the power of a Great Waterfall Technique of this magnitude, their chances of survival were slim.
He recognized the Ninja who cast the technique.
His detailed information was kept in the Intelligence Division.
One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from the Hidden Mist Village, Suikazan Fuguki!
Aside from his superb Water Release Ninjutsu, his massive Chakra reserves were stored via his ninja sword, Samehada.
For instance, only Suikazan Fuguki, who possesses Samehada, could utilize a Great Waterfall Technique of this scale.
Therefore, Sakumo Hatake did not believe this group of Samurai would survive.
Sure enough, the sea wave spread extremely fast and covered a vast area.
Even if these Samurai used a Body Flicker Technique Method that seemed superior in quality to the actual Body Flicker Technique, they still couldn't escape the range of the falling wave.
Togakure Rikuu gritted his teeth and said, "Whip up, Haruchiri!"
The Zanpakuto underwent Shikai, transforming into a scythe shape. Togakure Rikuu swung it hard, and a fierce Wind Blade slashed into the wave.
But it only broke the surface.
Seeing this, Gorigō Takemasa and Katakura Asuka also performed Shikai on their Zanpakuto.
"Blow and Resound, Kogarashi Fue!"
"Vanish, Katakage!"
The other squad members couldn't use Shikai, but they all utilized Kido, trying their best to slow the speed of the encroaching wave and buy time for them to escape its range.
Sakumo Hatake's eyes slightly brightened; he had spotted different abilities again.
ninja swords capable of releasing Wind Blades, Sound Waves, and Lightning attacks!
They share a similar ingenuity with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
He noted this point mentally and then looked at the others.
Although the others also held a ninja sword, they didn't seem to possess the special ninja swords like those three individuals.
This fact made him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, there were a few more types of Ninjutsu that didn't require hand signs, which greatly concerned him.
Hado #1: Sho.
Hadō No. 4: Byakurai.
Hadō #12: Fushibi.
And so on.
In just a few seconds, Sakumo Hatake had witnessed no less than five types of Unmarked Ninjutsu!
This situation left him utterly shocked.
Had this group completely mastered the technique of releasing Ninjutsu without using hand signs??
If this technique were acquired by Konoha, Konoha's military strength would once again rise to a new level!
Battles between Ninja change instantaneously; every second is a race against death. If you don't need hand signs while your opponent does, that's more than just being a step or two faster.
This intelligence must be transmitted back to Konoha as quickly as possible!
"It's a pity. Although these people have mastered Unmarked Ninjutsu and special ninja swords, they still fall short in the face of absolute power."
Sakumo Hatake shook his head, as if he could already envision their deaths.
Just then, Sakumo Hatake's excellent Dynamic Vision suddenly caught a figure rushing toward the sea wave.
Sakumo Hatake's eyes widened slightly.
A clear, delicate shout entered his ears.
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"
Clang—
The Zanpakuto was drawn, its snow-white blade dazzling, and a long, white strip of ornament hung from the end of the hilt.
The feeling it gave Sakumo Hatake could be summarized in one word.
Beautiful!
But he didn't understand what this little girl was rushing in to do.
From his perspective, this was no different from a moth flying into a flame.
But the next second, he got his answer.
"Next Dance: Hakuren!"
Rukia plunged Sode no Shirayuki into the ocean.
Crackle—
A burst of cold air rose from the blade, and the seawater near the blade instantly froze, rapidly spreading outward!
Buzz—
A few seconds later, a gigantic ice sculpture of a sea wave stood silently.
Rukia pulled out Sode no Shirayuki, lightly tapped her feet, and appeared on the top of the ice sculpture the next second.
Her indifferent gaze swept across the Kirigakure Ninja and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Coupled with Sode no Shirayuki, which radiated icy coldness in her hand, every Ninja she glanced at couldn't help but shiver, feeling the illusion that they might be frozen solid the next second.
When Suikazan Fuguki saw his masterpiece frozen into an ice sculpture, he said dumbfounded, "Ice Release?!"
