"You can't even imagine Ichimaru's strength?"
Mizukage read this sentence based on Soi Fon's lip movements, and his heart jolted with shock.
A chilling sensation surged through him, and he hurriedly looked toward the battle.
"Soaring Frost Dragon!!"
The Third Mizukage let out a low shout. The giant Lizard Dragon behind him seemed to have received a command, and its crimson eyes instantly snapped open!
Its Dragon Eyes, which seemed to hold leaping flames, looked at Gin with immense pressure, and then it dove straight down!!
Wherever it passed, cold air filled the sky, and the moisture in the air instantly condensed into an Ice Path above!
Soon, a shadow enveloped Gin.
Gin looked up. The massive body blocked the only open space above the Ice Pillars.
The Third Mizukage watched Gin with cold eyes, his gaze like that of someone looking at a corpse.
But what surprised him was that Gin was not as flustered or terrified as he had expected.
He was even calm?
Why?
The Third Mizukage suppressed the doubt in his heart and stared intently at Gin.
If the Soaring Frost Dragon's attack connected, Gin would surely be annihilated!
Whoosh whoosh~~
The shinigami uniform on Gin rustled loudly, buffeted by the air pressure.
The closer the Soaring Frost Dragon got, the more he could feel his body stiffening.
It was as if the icy cold was penetrating his bones.
Just as the Soaring Frost Dragon was about to swallow him, Gin's serpentine smile became even more chilling.
"I told you, didn't I? You have too much ice."
Gin suddenly opened his narrow eyes; the Killing Intent radiating from his light blue pupils sent shivers down the Third Mizukage's spine.
"I have witnessed ice far stronger than yours..."
He slowly raised the Wakizashi-like Zanpakuto in his hand, like a child picking up a small dagger, foolishly attempting to be the Dragon-slaying hero.
Could he possibly!
Everyone widened their eyes, but quickly shook their heads.
No! Impossible!
Facing that level of Ninjutsu, what good could that small knife possibly do?
Only Mizukage had an absurd thought flash through his mind, and simultaneously realized the source of his previous unease.
This Captain had not yet used the Special Ability of his ninja sword!
Gin, eyes open, coldly uttered a few words.
"Shoot to Kill, Shinsō!"
Buzz—
Pfft!
The Third Mizukage lowered his head.
Drip!
A drop of blood fell, and the Third Mizukage's pupils trembled uncontrollably.
Wh-when did this happen?!
Waves of sharp pain surged into his brain; at some unknown point, a blade had pierced his chest.
The Third Mizukage looked in the direction of the blade.
The Soaring Frost Dragon had halted its dive, the blade passing through its massive body.
And the owner of the blade was Gin, standing right in front of the Soaring Frost Dragon's giant maw!
Rumble!
The Soaring Frost Dragon gradually began to disintegrate.
Huge chunks of ice broke off its body, crashing to the ground one by one, creating a tremendous sound.
The Kirigakure's joy of welcoming victory came to an abrupt halt, their eyes even filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Wasn't it their Mizukage who had the upper hand?
How... in the blink of an eye, did the situation reverse?
They hadn't even seen how the enemy attacked, and then their Mizukage was stabbed?!
This... this isn't right, is it?
"Mizukage-sama!"
Hozuki Rōgetsu and the others widened their eyes, disregarding their shock, and rushed to get there.
Bang!
As if hitting a wall, Hōzuki Gengetsu and the others were instantly knocked back.
Komamura Sajin appeared, stating gravely, "With this old man here, none of you shall pass!"
"Get out of my way!"
Hozuki Rōgetsu's right arm muscles instantly swelled, and he fiercely slammed it towards Komamura Sajin!
Giant Water Arm Technique!
Bang!
Komamura Sajin raised his arm to block, emitting a dull thud.
But it didn't budge Komamura Sajin's figure in the slightest.
Instead, seizing the opportunity, Komamura Sajin swung out a palm!
A terrifying palm pressure swept towards Hozuki Rōgetsu!
"Hm?"
Komamura Sajin was surprised.
He saw Hozuki Rōgetsu's body, at the moment it was struck by the palm pressure, turn into a puddle of water on the ground.
Under his surprised gaze, the water on the ground re-converged, forming Hozuki Rōgetsu's body again.
Hozuki Rōgetsu shaped his hand like a pistol.
"Water Gun Technique!"
Bullet-shaped water rapidly condensed.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, before Hozuki Rōgetsu could fire his Water Gun, his arm was attacked again, turning into water.
Soi Fon retracted her powerful leg, saying with interest, "Interesting."
"Komamura, you go deal with the other two. I want to test my Zanpakuto on him."
With his opponent snatched by Soi Fon, Komamura Sajin had no complaints and silently headed towards Kaguya Mayuzumi and the Clan Chief Terumī.
In his view, as long as he could complete Lord Soul King's mission, let alone giving an enemy to Soi Fon, even if it meant dying, he wouldn't hesitate.
Soi Fon stared intently at Hozuki Rōgetsu's transformation, her interest piqued.
Could it be that her Zanpakuto finally had a chance to be put to good use?
Hozuki Rōgetsu remained in a semi-waterized state, gradually calming down.
"Like that man, you two are also Captains of the Uzushigakure, aren't you?"
Soi Fon was in a good mood and said, "Indeed."
Hozuki Rōgetsu's eyes narrowed, thinking about the numbers on their Haori backs that he had observed earlier.
Second Division, Third Division, and Seventh Division... "Very well, as long as I kill you, this war will be completely over!"
With that, Hozuki Rōgetsu's arm muscles swelled again, and he heavily slammed it towards Soi Fon.
That man was tough, but could a woman like you be as tough as him?
Hozuki Rōgetsu guessed correctly; Soi Fon was indeed not as tough as Komamura Sajin, but her petite body was nimble enough and extremely fast!
Hozuki Rōgetsu swung his clumsy arm, yet couldn't even touch Soi Fon once.
Instead, Soi Fon's Taijutsu forced his Water Transformation Technique back to its normal state.
Hanging Persimmon, Windmill, Waterfall Carp... various Taijutsu moves dazzled Hozuki Rōgetsu, making him unable to keep up with Soi Fon's rhythm.
If it weren't for the Water Transformation Technique, he would have died countless times already.
Hozuki Rōgetsu mocked, "Give up, you can't kill me."
"Shunko!"
The air pressure around Soi Fon suddenly surged, and the surrounding buildings were instantly crushed.
Hozuki Rōgetsu's eyes widened, staring in astonishment at the changes happening to Soi Fon!
Such astonishing power!
Soi Fon took a deep breath and punched him fiercely!
Boom!
A deep, long crater instantly formed, and Hozuki Rōgetsu's water-transformed body was shattered into pieces.
Scattered in various corners of the Kirigakure.
But after a while, puddles of water from all directions began to crawl towards the center, and soon, Hozuki Rōgetsu's face reformed.
He just waited for the other water to climb back, and it would soon re-converge.
Hozuki Rōgetsu breathed a sigh of relief; the scene just now was truly intimidating.
If this woman's opponent had been anyone else, it would have been certain death.
Unfortunately, meeting him, Hozuki Rōgetsu, was her misfortune!
"Hahaha, I told you that you couldn't kill me!"
Hozuki Rōgetsu scoffed, "What other tricks do you have? Bring them on! If I scream, I'll call you grandma!"
"I don't have such an ugly grandson."
Soi Fon's eyes were cold as she said, "This technique of yours is indeed interesting, but I wonder if it can withstand two strikes from my Zanpakuto?"
"Sting all enemies to death, Suzumebachi!"
