To kill Kakuzu, one must first destroy the masks on his body.
But Gin bypassed this requirement and directly annihilated all of Kakuzu!
What domineering power!
Immortality?
If you are erased at the cellular level, even the immortal must die!
"This kind of ability is truly terrifying!"
The Third Kazekage lowered his gaze slightly, pondering what method he would use if he encountered Gin.
One, his speed must surpass that blade!
As long as he wasn't struck, he wouldn't be killed!
Two, defensive power.
As long as his defense couldn't be breached, he wouldn't be killed!
But both conditions seemed difficult to fulfill.
After all, they had just witnessed Gin's performance in his battle with Kakuzu.
Shinsō, after its Bankai, was faster and stronger.
It easily broke through Kakuzu's defense.
But besides increasing speed and strengthening defense, he had no other options.
He could only hope that his Iron Sand would be able to defend against it.
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Ōnoki was also startled by Gin's special ability.
But he didn't react as strongly as the Third Kazekage or Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, his Dust Release was remarkably similar to Gin's ability.
Furthermore, the manifestation of Dust Release offered more variations than Gin's blade.
If he were to face Gin head-on, Ōnoki was confident that he could easily instantly kill Gin.
In his view, as long as Dust Release shattered that blade, Gin would no longer be anything to fear.
For others, it might be a very troublesome ability, but for him, it merely made him look at it with a bit more respect.
However, after this battle...
The Uzushigakure truly gave him many surprises.
Kakuzu, no matter how you look at it, was a genuine Kage-level powerhouse, and he even had that strange ability of Immortality.
If he had encountered any ordinary Kage-level Shinobi, it would have been impossible to defeat Kakuzu.
This was probably Kakuzu's confidence in taking on the Uzushigakure' mission.
But the Uzushigakure simply didn't play by the rules.
Gin's abilities were a perfect counter to Kakuzu.
Kakuzu, you didn't die unjustly... In the projection screen, a battle ended.
The people staring at the projection intently felt a lingering desire for more.
Moreover, wasn't it just said that Kakuzu had Immortality?
How was he killed by Gin in the blink of an eye?
What about the promised Immortality?
Most people actually didn't quite understand their fighting Moves.
But as long as it was exciting, that was enough!
Having lived for so long, this was truly the first time they had witnessed a duel between powerhouses with their own eyes!
With excited hearts, they quickly turned their attention to the next split screen.
In the projection screen...
A burly, bearded man was fighting a petite, black-haired girl.
It was Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and Rukia!
Ōnoki now looked at Roshi with some concern.
It was only then that he felt his decision to support the Land of Lightning was a bit hasty.
He thought he had overestimated the Uzushigakure' strength, but he didn't expect to have underestimated it.
Even Bakuton Kari was taken down.
Now, Ōnoki was afraid that even Roshi would be taken down.
Roshi himself wasn't important, but he was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki!
Bijus are too important to a Shinobi Village.
If, because of his decision, Iwagakure lost a Biju, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He would also become a sinner of Iwagakure!
Previously, Ōnoki thought that with Roshi's identity as the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, going to the Uzushigakure shouldn't be a big problem.
But after watching two consecutive battles, Ōnoki, especially seeing the special abilities of the Uzushigakure...
He couldn't help but feel some concern for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.
But Roshi is a Biju Jinchuriki after all, so it should... be fine, right?
No matter how strong the captain of the Uzushigakure is, can they be stronger than a Biju?
Hiruzen's eyes were also full of anticipation.
He seemed to be in a trance now.
He only wanted to see a scene of the Uzushigakure' captain being defeated, to prove that the Uzushigakure was not invincible!
Uzushigakure, Soul Society Court.
Roshi was covered in a layer of Lava Armor, with a tail behind him occasionally striking the ground.
The ground quickly turned scorched black under the impact of his tail.
The lava on his body even made the air feel scorched.
"Little girl, I advise you to leave quickly."
Roshi said calmly, "The lava on my body has no eyes, you know."
"A beautiful face like yours, just a light touch from me, and it will be ruined beyond recognition."
Rukia showed a calm expression, with no intention of backing down.
Instead, she drew the Zanpakuto from her waist, pointed it directly at Roshi, and said coldly, "Invading the Uzushigakure has only one outcome: death!"
Roshi snorted coldly, and with a Body Flicker Technique, appeared directly above Rukia, bringing down a heavy axe kick.
Rukia remained unhurried, raised her Zanpakuto, and said, "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki."
As soon as Rukia finished speaking,
The sword in her hand instantly transformed.
The blade, guard, and hilt were all pure white.
The tsuba was oval with six cutouts.
The front of the hilt had a pattern, and a white ribbon was attached to the end.
When this sword appeared, flakes of frost fell from around Rukia.
Strands of cold air emanated from the sword.
Roshi's eyes narrowed.
With a bang,
The heavy leg, encased in Lava Armor, collided with Sode no Shirayuki!
Crack, crack—
Chilling coldness crept up Roshi's leg, and strands of frost appeared, as if to freeze his leg.
But the lava in Roshi's Lava Armor instantly flowed, easily breaking through Sode no Shirayuki's frost.
