Hinamori Momo smiled gently and said, "So, reading more books really does have its benefits."

Carefully picking up the Exploding Sword: Shibuki, she would offer it to Lord Soul King when she returned.

This way, she should be able to gain more of Lord Soul King's attention, right?

Hehe.

Another new Ninja Blade.

Sakumo Hatake diligently worked as the on-site recorder (on-site recorder).

Is this one fire-elemental?

And a new No-Seal Ninjutsu appeared—invisible flames?

Sakumo Hatake didn't understand Kidō, so he didn't realize this was actually a combination technique of two different Kidō spells.

However, this No-Seal Ninjutsu was different from the others; when she released it, she seemed to be quietly chanting something?

Whoosh—

Writing down this information, Sakumo Hatake was already somewhat numb.

All sorts of special and powerful Ninja Blades.

Could this force have mastered a technique to forge Ninjutsu or Kekkei Genkais into Ninja Blades?

...Please give flowers! Please give rating votes!

Chapter 16: White Fang: Huh? Is this reasonable?!

"Hey! Kid, with that hair, are you from the Uzumaki Clan?"

Raiga Kurosuki looked at Renji Abarai in front of him; that bright red hair color made him somewhat curious.

Not just him, but even Sakumo Hatake was very curious.

Could they be surviving members of the Uzumaki Clan?

But why did they join this mysterious force?

What kind of relationship exists between this force and the Uzumaki Clan?

Renji Abarai didn't intend to answer him; his expression was merely resolute.

"Less talk! Anyone who dares to invade the Land of Whirlpools will be devoured by my Zabimaru!"

"Roar, Zabimaru!"

With Renji Abarai's release command, his Zanpakuto underwent a huge transformation.

The ordinary katana instantly transformed into a double-edged segmented sword.

Six segments, seven or eight blade sections, with the middle half from the back of the blade to the body of the blade being black, and the rest of the blade silver-white.

The blade had numerous protrusions.

"Hmph, how arrogant!"

Raiga Kurosuki held the twin swords: Raiga.

Crack!

Snake-like lightning ran across the twin swords.

"Lightning Blade Art: Falling Lightning!"

Buzz—

Two large beams of lightning quickly spread from the sea surface, and two lightning walls rose, surrounding Renji Abarai.

Raiga Kurosuki grinned, his two rows of sharp teeth looking quite terrifying.

"Kid, today you have only one outcome: to die here!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

A spherical lightning condensed at the tip of Raiga, instantly released by Raiga Kurosuki, rushing towards Renji Abarai!

Renji Abarai swung Zabimaru, and to Raiga Kurosuki's surprise, Zabimaru, like a whip, became flexible and elongated.

But when Zabimaru's blade slapped away the lightning ball, it also demonstrated considerable power.

"Interesting!"

Raiga Kurosuki suddenly laughed, "How interesting! I never thought there would be something even more special than our Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's Ninja Blades in the Shinobi World!"

"Today has truly been an eye-opener!"

"But my Raiga is not something any sword can compare to!"

Renji Abarai had no interest in listening to his nonsense; Zabimaru danced again, twisting its body like a snake, biting towards Raiga Kurosuki.

"Lightning Release: Raiga!"

Raiga Kurosuki crossed his twin swords to charge electricity, and just as Zabimaru was about to strike him, he suddenly spread them apart, and terrifying lightning slammed onto Zabimaru!

Boom!!

The massive electrical energy twisted Zabimaru out of shape, causing Renji Abarai to frown slightly.

Just as he was about to recall Zabimaru, he saw Raiga Kurosuki suddenly smile, and the lightning on the twin swords: Raiga grew even denser.

Even the sky suddenly darkened!

Crack!!

Terrifying bolts of lightning struck the twin swords: Raiga!

The terrifying might instantly drew everyone's attention!

"It's Lord Raiga!!"

"How, how terrifying is that Lightning Release! This is Lord Raiga of our Hidden Mist Village!!"

Biwa Jūzō, who was confronting Izuru Kira, even glanced at Raiga Kurosuki's state out of the corner of his eye.

"That stance... is Raiga going to use that move so soon?"

After losing two Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in succession, Biwa Jūzō's perpetually grim expression finally relaxed a bit.

As long as Raiga successfully releases this Ninjutsu, the person fighting Raiga will surely die!

This way, they would have a much easier time in the subsequent battle.

Izuru Kira seemed to see through his thoughts and lightly chuckled, "Hey, hey, don't underestimate our Lieutenant!"

Biwa Jūzō's eyes narrowed; seeing Izuru Kira so relaxed, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Could that Lieutenant, whose Ninja Blade is like a whip, be hiding other abilities?

Sakumo Hatake quietly observed Raiga Kurosuki's state.

"This momentum, it's probably already reached S-rank Ninjutsu."

"If one were to take a direct hit, even if they didn't die, they'd likely be severely injured."

However, Sakumo did not see a trace of fear or panic on Renji Abarai's face.

Even Matsumoto Rangiku and Hinamori Momo, who had already dealt with their enemies, showed no intention of providing support.

Why?

"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!!"

Raiga Kurosuki's face was distorted in a ferocious roar.

Holding the lightning-covered Raiga, he quickly spun.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A gigantic, light purple lightning dragon tornado quickly formed!

Its terrifying power even drew the sea into it!

The lightning dragon opened its crimson eyes, staring fixedly at Renji Abarai, as if confirming its target.

"Roar!!"

The next second, the lightning dragon let out a thunderous roar and swooped down towards Renji Abarai!

Raiga Kurosuki, having overused his Chakra, knelt on one knee on the sea surface, panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Renji Abarai, wanting to see his terrified expression.

Unfortunately, Renji Abarai did not give him what he wanted.

Even facing the sky-obscuring, lightning-filled lightning dragon, Renji Abarai maintained his calm expression.

Raiga Kurosuki was very displeased and roared, "Crush him, Lightning Dragon!!"

As the lightning dragon was about to engulf him, Renji Abarai finally moved.

"Bankai, Hihiō Zabimaru!!"

"It's useless, useless, hahahaha!!"

Raiga Kurosuki let out a maniacal laugh.
