Gin smiled, behaving like a gentleman:
"Uzushigakure, Gotei 13, Third Division Captain Gin. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Backup 2 Group
"Secret Technique: Thousand Killing Water Needles!"
The Third Mizukage ignored his self-introduction and quickly formed hand seals!
The moisture in the air rapidly condensed into steel needles like flowing water.
Then, combined with his ice-attribute Chakra nature.
The icy steel needles instantly shot from all directions towards Gin.
Gin's expression remained unchanged. When the Thousand Killing Water Needles were less than a meter away from him, he gently swung his Zanpakuto.
Clink, clink—
A series of crisp collision sounds immediately rang out. Gin's Zanpakuto turned into streaks of afterimages, cutting down all of the Thousand Killing Water Needles!
"Mizukage-sama is quite impatient, isn't he?"
What a fast sword!
Seeing this move easily neutralized, the Third Mizukage was somewhat shocked by Gin's swordsmanship, but he was not surprised by it.
As the so-called Captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Uzushigakure, it was naturally impossible for him to be hit by such a simple move.
He was merely testing, trying to gather information about the man in front of him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even fully capture Gin's sword drawing speed.
This man was probably the strongest enemy he had encountered since becoming the Third Mizukage.
The Third Mizukage's eyes were deep.
As the Mizukage of Kirigakure, he could only win this war! And he must win!
The Third Mizukage was also full of confidence in this.
Don't forget, he was also the strongest in Kirigakure!
He was one of the few individuals standing at the pinnacle of the current Ninja World!
As the bodyguard of the First Mizukage and the disciple of the Second Mizukage, he was confident that he was not weaker than any other Kage of the Four Great Shinobi Villages!
Moreover, as someone who had witnessed the era of the god of shinobi, Senju Hashirama, and the asura of the shinobi world, Uchiha Madara.
And had personally witnessed the classic scene of the First Hokage sitting in a row and distributing Bijus.
He didn't believe that no matter how strong, one could be compared to the First Hokage?
The Third Mizukage said faintly, "I will make you understand how wrong it is to be an enemy of Kirigakure!"
Gin maintained his smile.
The next second, he instantly vanished, leaving only an afterimage.
Gin, who had arrived beside the Third Mizukage at some unknown point, whispered in his ear:
"You are not worthy of being enemies of the Uzushigakure."
The Third Mizukage's pupils suddenly constricted, and a wakizashi suddenly pierced through.
Chii—
The Third Mizukage's neck was instantly pierced, but Gin smiled and said, "Not bad reaction."
The next second, the pierced Third Mizukage suddenly disappeared, leaving only an icy sculpture.
Ice Release: Ice Clone. Search: 9.04842.905.
The Third Mizukage appeared behind Gin and said mercilessly, "Ice Release: Ice Array Pillars!"
Rumble! !
Rhombus-shaped ice pillars suddenly rose from the ground, fiercely stabbing towards Gin.
Gin calmly used Shunpo, moving deftly across the ice pillars.
Each time an ice pillar was about to touch him, he would disappear the next moment.
However, the Third Mizukage did not give up, continuing to attack Gin's landing spots with ice pillars.
It was like a game of cat and mouse.
Until a certain moment, the Third Mizukage's perpetually cold face actually cracked a smile, and he sneered, "You have stepped right into my trap!"
Gin suddenly stopped, his eyes scanning the surroundings, realizing he was deeply entrenched within a cage of Ice Pillars.
The Kirigakure ninja who witnessed this exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Mizukage won!"
"As expected of Lord Mizukage!"
"Hmph, a mere Uzushigakure dares to oppose our Kirigakure, how foolish!!"
"Kill him, Lord Mizukage! Avenge our fallen comrades!!"
The Kirigakure ninja looked frantic, wishing they could tear these invading enemies limb from limb!!
Hozuki Rōgetsu also laughed disdainfully, "Heh heh, is this the powerful Captain from the Uzushigakure?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Kisame , who was entangled with the Lieutenant not far away.
He truly couldn't understand how someone like this had almost annihilated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Kaguya Mayuzumi burst into loud laughter, declaring arrogantly, "Our Kirigakure is truly invincible, ha ha ha!"
Mizukage: "..."
He should just say things like that inside the Village; never outside.
However, seeing Lord Mizukage gain the upper hand, he felt relieved.
But for some unknown reason, an ominous premonition lingered in his heart, though he couldn't place why.
The Kirigakure ninja shouted loudly, seemingly venting their frustration that their comrades were being overwhelmed by the Kido Corps led by Rukia.
Gin glanced at the situation around him, maintaining his signature smile, seemingly unaffected.
He even had the leisure to comment, "Your ice is quite weak."
The Third Mizukage glared, "Death is imminent, yet you still dare to boast!"
Gin smiled slightly, said nothing more, and instead manipulated his Reishi, flying toward the sky.
Since the ground was surrounded by Ice Pillars, why not just fly up?
Upon seeing this, the voices of the Kirigakure ninja instantly ceased.
But Hozuki Rōgetsu smiled confidently.
He believed that Lord Mizukage must have anticipated this.
Sure enough, the Third Mizukage's lips curled slightly as he said, "You didn't think I wouldn't consider this, did you?"
He would not forget the way the people of the Uzushigakure made their entrance.
Even now, there are still people from the Uzushigakure walking in the sky.
Although he didn't know why the Uzushigakure had so many strange Ninjutsu, even having Flying Ninjutsu available to everyone.
But it was naturally impossible for him to overlook such important information.
This Opening was one he had intentionally left.
The purpose, naturally, was to Lure the enemy into the jar, ensuring that the next Ninjutsu would hit its mark!!
The Third Mizukage's eyes widened. Standing atop the Ice Pillar, he formed Hand Signs so quickly that only blurry afterimages could be seen!
"Ice Release: Soaring Frost Dragon!!"
White frost suddenly fell over the Kirigakure sky, and a Frost Creature, over twenty meters tall and resembling a lizard, condensed behind the Third Mizukage!
"Roar!!"
A fierce roar echoed throughout the entire Kirigakure. Wherever the sound wave passed, the white frost instantly froze again, turning into granules that fell down!
Seeing the Third Mizukage's Ninjutsu, which resembled a miracle, the fanaticism in the eyes of the Kirigakure ninja overflowed!
They roared Lord Mizukage's name everywhere!
Hozuki Rōgetsu trembled, "This is our Lord Mizukage of the Kirigakure!!"
Gin is dead for sure!!
Almost everyone in the Kirigakure had issued a Death Notice for Gin!
No one could block this terrifying Ice Release!
Not to mention, all other directions were already blocked by Lord Mizukage's Ice Pillars.
Gin has nowhere left to run!
Mizukage subconsciously looked in the direction of the people from the Uzushigakure, wanting to see expressions of terror and fear on their faces.
H-how... how could this be!
Mizukage's pupils dilated; faces that were expressionless, or even slightly mocking, came into view.
Why!
Are they not afraid?!
Their Captain is about to be killed!!
Soi Fon noticed his gaze, gave a disdainful smile, and her lips moved as if she were saying something.
But because of the Soaring Frost Dragon, he couldn't hear clearly.
But by reading her lips, he could barely make out a few words.
"You can't even imagine Ichimaru's strength?"
