"Bankai Kamishini no Yari: Butō!"
Shriek—
Kakuzu's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart instantly pierced!
Earth Spear, was it broken?!
When did he strike?!
His eyes widened, and he looked down at his chest, where a conspicuous hole had appeared at some unknown time.
Kakuzu looked at Gin again, his gaze not only fixed on the short blade in his hand.
After piercing his heart, it retracted again?!
With deep confusion, Kakuzu fell straight to the ground with a thud.
Everyone in front of the projection instantly fell silent.
Their eyes were blank, they didn't even know what had happened.
Wasn't Kakuzu still at an advantage just now?
Couldn't Gin's Shinsō break through Kakuzu's defense?
How did the situation suddenly reverse?!
In the blink of an eye, Kakuzu's heart had a hole in it?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, holding the pipe, trembled slightly.
The speed of Shinsō was even faster!!
This, this was Gin's Bankai?!
He took a deep drag from his pipe, his eyes profound.
All this time, Gin had only used his first release to kill, which led him to believe that Gin didn't have a Bankai.
It turns out that the previous enemies simply didn't require him to use his Bankai!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed worry.
Good news: new intelligence on one of the Uzushigakure' captains was obtained.
Bad news: even with this intelligence, he couldn't think of any counter-measure for now.
The speed was too fast!!
He recalled the faint image he had vaguely seen just now.
He only felt a gray beam of light flash by.
Kakuzu's heart had a hole in it, and Shinsō seemed not to have moved, still held quietly in Gin's hand in that same posture.
It even made people wonder if the attack just now was truly done by Shinsō.
No, it should be called Kamishini no Yari now!
One extra word, he wondered what its significance was.
But one thing was certain: Gin had become stronger!
He wondered if Shodai(1st)-sama's Five-Layer Rashōmon could defend against this strike.
Sarutobi Hiruzen again looked at Kakuzu, who had fallen to the ground.
He silently sighed in his heart.
Even the legendary figure who once assassinated Shodai(1st)-sama couldn't withstand Gin's attack... Speaking of which, how did Kakuzu assassinate Shodai(1st)-sama back then?
Why was there no detailed record of the process in the intelligence?
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Ōnoki's eyelids drooped slightly.
Gin's strength once again made him update his assessment of the Uzushigakure' power.
But he wasn't sure if it was because he was old and his eyesight was failing, making him unable to see Gin's attack, or if Gin's attack was truly so fast that he couldn't see it?!
If it was the latter... "It seems we need to deepen our research into defensive Ninjutsu."
Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
The Third Kazekage was slightly stunned.
This incredible speed!!
It was truly chilling!
If one were to encounter Gin outside, one would probably have to constantly worry if he would suddenly stab you in the kidney.
If one wasn't constantly vigilant, there would be no time to react at all!
No!
Even with vigilance, it would probably be impossible to react!
The Third Kazekage's brows furrowed tightly.
In that case, wouldn't Gin's attack be unsolvable?
No, there must be some way to counter it.
It's just that with insufficient intelligence, it's impossible to analyze the weakness of that blade.
His eyes were profound as he fell into deep thought.
He wondered if his Iron Sand could defend against this strike.
It should be able to, right?
The Third Kazekage was quite confident in his Iron Sand.
Uzushigakure, Seireitei.
Gin's smile returned to normal.
He walked forward, kicked Kakuzu's corpse, and softly said, "It seems it's over..."
Gin turned, showing his back to Kakuzu's corpse, and prepared to leave.
Just then, a strong gust of wind howled from behind Gin!
