They look like Samurai, but they also possess a type of Ninjutsu that doesn't require hand signs?

More crucially, every single one of these Samurai seems to be able to use this No-Seal Ninjutsu.

In his understanding, No-Seal Ninjutsu is a type of Ninjutsu with a very high barrier to entry.

But in the hands of this group of Samurai, it seems to have become commonplace.

Although he wanted to investigate the background of these Samurai, under the power of a Great Waterfall Technique of this magnitude, their chances of survival were slim.

He recognized the Ninja who cast the technique.

His detailed information was kept in the Intelligence Department.

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from the Hidden Mist Village, Suikazan Fuguki!

Aside from his superb Water Style Ninjutsu, his massive Chakra reserves were stored via his Ninja Blade, Samehada.

For instance, only Suikazan Fuguki, who possesses Samehada, could utilize a Great Waterfall Technique of this scale.

Therefore, Sakumo Hatake did not believe this group of Samurai would survive.

Sure enough, the sea wave spread extremely fast and covered a vast area.

Even if these Samurai used a Body Flicker Technique Method that seemed superior in quality to the actual Body Flicker Technique, they still couldn't escape the range of the falling wave.

Togakushi Riku gritted his teeth and said, "Whip up, Haruchiri!"

The Zanpakuto underwent Shikai, transforming into a scythe shape. Togakushi Riku swung it hard, and a fierce Wind Blade slashed into the wave.

But it only broke the surface.

Seeing this, Gorigō Takemasa and Katakura Asuka also performed Shikai on their Zanpakuto.

"Blow and Resound, Kogarashi Fue!"

"Vanish, Kata Kage!"

The other squad members couldn't use Shikai, but they all utilized Kidō, trying their best to slow the speed of the encroaching wave and buy time for them to escape its range.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes slightly brightened; he had spotted different abilities again.

Ninja Blades capable of releasing Wind Blades, Sound Waves, and Lightning attacks!

They share a similar ingenuity with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

He noted this point mentally and then looked at the others.

Although the others also held a Ninja Blade, they didn't seem to possess the special Ninja Blades like those three individuals.

This fact made him breathe a sigh of relief.

However, there were a few more types of Ninjutsu that didn't require hand signs, which greatly concerned him.

Hadō #1: Shō.

Hado No. 4: Byakurai.

Hadō #12: Fushibi.

And so on.

In just a few seconds, Sakumo Hatake had witnessed no less than five types of No-Seal Ninjutsu!

This situation left him utterly shocked.

Had this group completely mastered the technique of releasing Ninjutsu without using hand signs??

If this technique were acquired by Konoha, Konoha's military strength would once again rise to a new level!

Battles between Ninja change instantaneously; every second is a race against death. If you don't need hand signs while your opponent does, that's more than just being a step or two faster.

This intelligence must be transmitted back to Konoha as quickly as possible!

"It's a pity. Although these people have mastered No-Seal Ninjutsu and special Ninja Blades, they still fall short in the face of absolute power."

Sakumo Hatake shook his head, as if he could already envision their deaths.

Just then, Sakumo Hatake's excellent Dynamic Vision suddenly caught a figure rushing toward the sea wave.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes widened slightly.

A clear, delicate shout entered his ears.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"

Clang—

The Zanpakuto was drawn, its snow-white blade dazzling, and a long, white strip of ornament hung from the end of the hilt.

The feeling it gave Sakumo Hatake could be summarized in one word.

Beautiful!

But he didn't understand what this little girl was rushing in to do.

From his perspective, this was no different from a moth flying into a flame.

But the next second, he got his answer.

"Next Dance: Hakuren!"

Rukia Kuchiki plunged Sode no Shirayuki into the ocean.

Crackle—

A burst of cold air rose from the blade, and the seawater near the blade instantly froze, rapidly spreading outward!

Buzz—

A few seconds later, a gigantic ice sculpture of a sea wave stood silently.

Rukia Kuchiki pulled out Sode no Shirayuki, lightly tapped her feet, and appeared on the top of the ice sculpture the next second.

Her indifferent gaze swept across the Mist ninja Ninja and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Coupled with Sode no Shirayuki, which radiated icy coldness in her hand, every Ninja she glanced at couldn't help but shiver, feeling the illusion that they might be frozen solid the next second.

When Suikazan Fuguki saw his masterpiece frozen into an ice sculpture, he said dumbfounded, "Ice Release?!"

(...Please give flowers! Please give rating votes!)

Chapter 12: 13th Division? There are thirteen opponents like this?

"Ice Release?!"

Suikazan Fuguki's eyes were wide open as he exclaimed, "Could that be a rogue Ninja from the Minazuki Clan?"

Biwa Jūzō shook his head and said, "No, the Minazuki Clan's Ice Release isn't this powerful."

Suikazan Fuguki nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true."

The members of the Minazuki Clan in the Kirigakure Unit felt somewhat speechless.

They wanted to retort, but suddenly realized that their clan's Ice Release truly lacked this level of destructive power.

Biwa Jūzō stared at Sode no Shirayuki, which was emitting cold air in Rukia Kuchiki's hand, and whispered, "A Ninja Blade that can release Ice Release? Is this even logical??"

The others clearly noticed the blade, which was beautiful yet chillingly cold.

Almost simultaneously, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist involuntarily glanced at the Ninja Blades in their own hands.

This... are they the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, or is this group in front of them the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

A Ninja Blade capable of releasing Ice Release—this really opened their eyes.

On the other side, Sakumo Hatake also witnessed this astonishing sight.

A Ninja Blade, another Ninja Blade!

And an Ice Release Ninja Sword!

Although the previous Ninja Blades capable of releasing Wind Style and Lightning Release were also outrageous.

But having Raiga Kurosuki's Ninja Blade as a baseline, Sakumo Hatake wasn't overly surprised.

But this Ice Release Ninja Sword truly shocked him.

Kekkei Genkais are famous precisely because they are powerful, unique, and rare.

Yet, right before his eyes appeared a Ninja Blade that inherently possessed a Kekkei Genkai!

While Sakumo Hatake was surprised, he was also worried.

Since there was a first, would there be a second Ninja Blade possessing Kekkei Genkai-like abilities?

He already had the answer in his heart.

That is, there definitely would be!

After all, the abilities of this new faction emerging in the Land of Whirlpools, aside from the No-Seal Ninjutsu he couldn't understand.

Were these Ninja Blades with special capabilities.

Where there is one, there will be two!
