In any case, the Uzushigakure must be suppressed.
This conflict between the Land of Lightning and the Uzushigakure was perfect for them to probe for intelligence on the Uzushigakure!
Although the loss of Bakuton Kari made him feel a pang of distress, as long as their Major Ninja Villages united to pressure the Uzushigakure, the Exploding Sword: Splatter would serve as compensation for Bakuton Kari's sacrifice!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Third Kazekage were also equally covetous.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had long experienced the power of the Uzushigakure, and his covetousness was not a recent development.
Besides seeing Shunsui Kyōraku's performance, the Third Kazekage had never witnessed the special characteristics of a Zanpakuto.
Furthermore, although Shunsui Kyōraku's ability was bizarre, it was difficult to link it directly to his sword.
But Munashi Jinpachi's sword was different; this was clearly Explosion Release.
Obtaining one was practically like owning a Shinobi with a Bloodline Limit!
Sunagakure also wanted a piece of the Uzushigakure' technology... The swift defeat of Bakuton Kari caused a stir in the Ninja World.
But soon, they stopped focusing on Bakuton Kari's death.
Because the spectacle of the Uzushigakure was still ongoing.
The Uzushigakure, Soul Society Court.
A certain street.
Kakuzu swaggered down the street.
After all, the mission assigned to him was to attract the attention of the Uzushigakure.
"Hadō No. 4: Byakurai!"
Crackle!
A lightning bolt rapidly struck. Kakuzu's eyes flickered slightly, and he easily dodged the Byakurai by turning sideways.
"Is this the No-Seal Ninjutsu mentioned in the intelligence reports?"
Kakuzu became interested.
Originally, he was unaware of the intelligence concerning the Uzushigakure.
Although the Uzushigakure was currently riding a wave of fame, having already become a Rogue Ninja, he had no source of information.
Therefore, the intelligence about the Uzushigakure was provided by the Land of Lightning.
Since he was working for the Land of Lightning, sharing intelligence was natural.
Moreover, this intelligence report was very comprehensive, detailing some Captains' special abilities.
It was allegedly provided by Konoha free of charge.
Just as Kakuzu was contemplating the manifestation of these No-Seal Ninjutsu, many Shinigami Team Members gradually surrounded him.
Kakuzu was expressionless, showing no sense of urgency about being surrounded.
"Hadō No. 4: Byakurai!"
"Hadō No. 11:..."
"Hadō..."
No-Seal Ninjutsu were released one after another by the Shinigami Team Members. Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
The attacks from the Shinigami Team Members were completely intercepted.
Immediately after, Kakuzu continued changing his hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A water cannon plunged down, smashing towards the Shinigami Team Members!
Bang!
A crater formed on the street.
Fortunately, the Shinigami reacted quickly and swiftly left the spot.
But Kakuzu's attack was not over yet.
"Lightning Release: Ground Flash!"
Crackle!
Streaks of lightning snakes moved across the ground, interacting with the water left behind by the Water Formation Wall.
For a moment, lightning flared brilliantly!
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Are they still not using the swords mentioned in the intelligence reports? Or is it that these people cannot use those kinds of swords?"
After all, Ninja Tools capable of utilizing Bloodline Limits probably wouldn't be common everywhere.
Seeing the scene on the projection hell butterfly where Kakuzu was dominating the Shinigami, Ōnoki and the others finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed this was the true level of the Uzushigakure' Ordinary Team Members.
These team members clearly couldn't use those special ninja swords, and the power of their No-Seal Ninjutsu was far inferior to that of the Captains.
Munashi Jinpachi was clearly an exception just now.
Now Ōnoki and the others felt reassured.
On the projected screen, the battle situation changed rapidly.
Seeing that these team members had no other means besides those No-Seal Ninjutsu, Kakuzu clearly didn't want to play around anymore.
His eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I wonder, what attributes do your hearts possess?"
"Fire Release: Searing Migraine!"
Whoosh—
Flames resembling seawater covered the street, rushing straight toward the Shinigami!
The entire street was within the range of the sea of fire, leaving the Shinigami no escape.
"It's over."
Truly a powerhouse capable of assassinating the First Hokage!
This sea of fire startled everyone watching the projection.
"Where exactly did the Land of Lightning find such a powerhouse?"
Before they could continue praising him, another unexpected change occurred on the projected screen.
"Bakudō #81: Dankū."
