"Hey! Kid, with that hair, are you from the Uzumaki Clan?"
Kurotsuchi Raiga looked at Abarai Renji in front of him; that bright red hair color made him somewhat curious.
Not just him, but even Sakumo Hatake was very curious.
Could they be surviving members of the Uzumaki Clan?
But why did they join this mysterious force?
What kind of relationship exists between this force and the Uzumaki Clan?
Abarai Renji didn't intend to answer him; his expression was merely resolute.
"Less talk! Anyone who dares to invade the Uzushigakure will be devoured by my Zabimaru!"
"Roar, Zabimaru!"
With Abarai Renji's release command, his Zanpakuto underwent a huge transformation.
The ordinary katana instantly transformed into a double-edged segmented sword.
Six segments, seven or eight blade sections, with the middle half from the back of the blade to the body of the blade being black, and the rest of the blade silver-white.
The blade had numerous protrusions.
"Hmph, how arrogant!"
Kurotsuchi Raiga held the twin swords: raiga.
Crack!
Snake-like lightning ran across the twin swords.
"Lightning Blade Art: Falling Lightning!"
Buzz—
Two large beams of lightning quickly spread from the sea surface, and two lightning walls rose, surrounding Abarai Renji.
Kurotsuchi Raiga grinned, his two rows of sharp teeth looking quite terrifying.
"Kid, today you have only one outcome: to die here!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
A spherical lightning condensed at the tip of raiga, instantly released by Kurotsuchi Raiga, rushing towards Abarai Renji!
Abarai Renji swung Zabimaru, and to Kurotsuchi Raiga's surprise, Zabimaru, like a whip, became flexible and elongated.
But when Zabimaru's blade slapped away the lightning ball, it also demonstrated considerable power.
"Interesting!"
Kurotsuchi Raiga suddenly laughed, "How interesting! I never thought there would be something even more special than our Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's ninja swords in the Ninja World!"
"Today has truly been an eye-opener!"
"But my raiga is not something any sword can compare to!"
Abarai Renji had no interest in listening to his nonsense; Zabimaru danced again, twisting its body like a snake, biting towards Kurotsuchi Raiga.
"Lightning Release: Raiga!"
Kurotsuchi Raiga crossed his twin swords to charge electricity, and just as Zabimaru was about to strike him, he suddenly spread them apart, and terrifying lightning slammed onto Zabimaru!
Boom!!
The massive electrical energy twisted Zabimaru out of shape, causing Abarai Renji to frown slightly.
Just as he was about to recall Zabimaru, he saw Kurotsuchi Raiga suddenly smile, and the lightning on the twin swords: raiga grew even denser.
Even the sky suddenly darkened!
Crack!!
Terrifying bolts of lightning struck the twin swords: raiga!
The terrifying might instantly drew everyone's attention!
"It's Lord raiga!!"
"How, how terrifying is that Lightning Release! This is Lord raiga of our Hidden Mist Village!!"
Kisame Hoshigaki, who was confronting Kira Iziru, even glanced at Kurotsuchi Raiga's state out of the corner of his eye.
"That stance... is raiga going to use that move so soon?"
After losing two Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in succession, Kisame Hoshigaki's perpetually grim expression finally relaxed a bit.
As long as raiga successfully releases this Ninjutsu, the person fighting raiga will surely die!
This way, they would have a much easier time in the subsequent battle.
Kira Iziru seemed to see through his thoughts and lightly chuckled, "Hey, hey, don't underestimate our Lieutenant!"
Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes narrowed; seeing Kira Iziru so relaxed, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Could that Lieutenant, whose ninja sword is like a whip, be hiding other abilities?
Sakumo Hatake quietly observed Kurotsuchi Raiga's state.
"This momentum, it's probably already reached S-rank Ninjutsu."
"If one were to take a direct hit, even if they didn't die, they'd likely be severely injured."
However, Sakumo did not see a trace of fear or panic on Abarai Renji's face.
Even Matsumoto Rangiku and Hinamori Momo, who had already dealt with their enemies, showed no intention of providing support.
Why?
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!!"
Kurotsuchi Raiga's face was distorted in a ferocious roar.
Holding the lightning-covered raiga, he quickly spun.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
A gigantic, light purple lightning dragon tornado quickly formed!
Its terrifying power even drew the sea into it!
The lightning dragon opened its crimson eyes, staring fixedly at Abarai Renji, as if confirming its target.
"Roar!!"
The next second, the lightning dragon let out a thunderous roar and swooped down towards Abarai Renji!
Kurotsuchi Raiga, having overused his Chakra, knelt on one knee on the sea surface, panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Abarai Renji, wanting to see his terrified expression.
Unfortunately, Abarai Renji did not give him what he wanted.
Even facing the sky-obscuring, lightning-filled lightning dragon, Abarai Renji maintained his calm expression.
Kurotsuchi Raiga was very displeased and roared, "Crush him, Lightning Dragon!!"
As the lightning dragon was about to engulf him, Abarai Renji finally moved.
"Bankai, Hihio Zabimaru!!"
"It's useless, useless, hahahaha!!"
Kurotsuchi Raiga let out a maniacal laugh.
Buzz—
Zabimaru suddenly flashed white light, the Zanpakuto's Second Release!
Boom!!
A colossal creature, even more oppressive than the Thunder Dragon in the sky, appeared out of thin air!
The situation instantly reversed!
The Great Snake Skeleton of Hihio Zabimaru opened its huge mouth and bit directly onto the Thunder Dragon's body!
Crack! Crack!!
With every bite, the lightning on the Thunder Dragon burst forth, striking the massive body of Hihio Zabimaru.
But Hihio Zabimaru felt no pain at all; it just kept biting and biting.
The electric roar of the Thunder Dragon seemed to turn into a mournful cry at this moment, recounting its suffering!
Only after completely devouring the last remnants of the Thunder Dragon's body did Hihio Zabimaru finally stop.
This shocking scene left everyone present dumbfounded!
"raiga's Ninjutsu was eaten?"
Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat incredulous. If he encountered raiga's Move, his only option would be to flee.
That's why he firmly believed that raiga's Ninjutsu would definitely kill that red-haired person.
But he never imagined that the red-haired person not only survived but also dealt with the Thunder Dragon in such a shocking way!!
What exactly is this Great Snake Skeleton!!
At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki already intended to retreat.
Unbeatable, utterly unbeatable!
Sakumo Hatake was even more terrified, unable to stop himself from cursing inwardly.
Damn it!
It's one thing for this ninja sword to shoot fire and freeze things, but how can it turn into a giant beast?!
Huh? Is this reasonable!?
