Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

And there were already four of these ninja swords in front of Hatake Sakumo!

With these ninja swords, the organization in the Land of Whirlpools could mass-produce ninjas similar to those with bloodline limits!

If such a force were to take root in the Land of Whirlpools, it would not be good news for Konoha.

Sakumo Hatake could only hope that this faction didn't have that many ninja swords with special abilities.

He also touched the white teeth on his back and couldn't help but think, "They're both ninja swords, so how can there be a difference in their levels?"

At the same time, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also realized the value of the sword before them.

However, they didn't think as much as Hatake Sakumo; they just greedily stared at Sode no Shirayuki, wanting to possess this ninja sword that could unleash ice release.

Obtaining this sword is equivalent to them possessing a bloodline limit!

Nobody thinks they can be stronger!

Now that this opportunity is right in front of us, no one wants to give it up.

The group exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a clear message that it was all about skill.

On the shore, the surviving Shinigami breathed a sigh of relief. Upon seeing Rukia Kuchiki, they immediately shouted, "It's Lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki of the 13th Division!"

Squad 13!

Sakumo Hatake will capture this crucial information.

In other words...

This force has at least thirteen squads.

So there are thirteen other people with the same strength as this girl?

In Sakumo Hatake's observation, the girl in front of him had already been labeled as having the strength of a near-Kage.

At least among the elite Jonin of the Mizuki clan in Kirigakure, he had never encountered anyone who could use Ice Release so effectively.

Although she has no chakra, making it difficult to assess her strength, we can use the Minazuki clan as a benchmark.

This girl's expressiveness is definitely superior to that of the elite Jonin of the Minazuki clan.

Therefore, she was assessed as a near-film level.

Now that we know she is the so-called vice-captain of the 13th Division, it means that there are twelve more people in this organization with the strength of a near-Kage?

Moreover, this can only be established if the 13th Division is already the last division.

Thirteen skeletal figures...

How come I've never heard of a force with such power?

Even the Konoha Intelligence Department had no record of it.

and many more!

Suddenly remembering something, Hatake Sakumo's eyes widened, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

The 13th Division, the lieutenant?

hiss--

Sakumo Hatake gasped, even wondering if he had misheard.

Vice-captain?

So, there's a team leader above her?

If the vice-captain already has this level of strength, then what about the captain?

Could it be a shadow?

Sakumo Hatake's heart suddenly trembled.

Then he quickly shook his head, banishing the terrifying thought.

It shouldn't be possible.

If this force possessed such strength, how could it have remained silent and unknown for so long?

And now they're still stuck in this small place called Whirlpool Country?

After figuring it out, Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did I realize that my back was soaked with cold sweat.

Every now and then, a voice inside me would say: What if?

"The 13th Division? The lieutenant?"

Suigetsu Hozuki hoisted Samehada onto his shoulder and scoffed, "So, there are twelve more with your strength? Bah! Pretentious!"

Anyone with eyes can see Rukia Kuchiki's strength.

In particular, Suigetsu Hozuki, the user of the Great Waterfall Technique, could clearly see the terrifying strength of Kuchiki Rukia, who had frozen her own ninjutsu.

And you tell him there are twelve, or even thirteen, people like that who are stronger than Rukia Kuchiki and at the captain level?

With that kind of strength, they could have established a nation; how could we have never heard of them before?

Therefore, he was certain that this group was bluffing.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon arrogantly said, "If you have the guts, call them all out, and I'll beat them all up one by one!"

As soon as she finished speaking, five figures suddenly appeared beside Rukia Kuchiki.

"It's Lieutenant-Captain Matsumoto Rangiku of the 10th Division!"

"And there's also Lieutenant-Captain Renji Abarai of the Sixth Division, Lieutenant-Captain Momo Hinamori of the Fifth Division, and Lieutenant-Captain Izuru Kira of the Third Division!!"

"Oh, right, and also the second division's vice-captain, Omaeda Kichiyo."

Omaeda Norichiyo's face darkened. Why did it seem like he was just there to make up the numbers?

Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "There really is?!"

Sakumo Hatake, who was secretly observing, paused for a moment upon seeing this.

Since the other vice-captains have also appeared, then the captain might actually exist!

Sakumo Hatake's expression grew increasingly grave.

Rukia Kuchiki glanced at the Mist Ninja's formation and said, "Each of you find an opponent and finish the battle quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rukia Kuchiki raised her snow-white sleeve, pointed at Suigetsu Hozuki, and said calmly, "I'll take care of this fathead fish."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon: "...Fat! Head! Fish?"

.....

Please give me flowers! Please give me ratings!

Chapter 13 Whisper, Gray Cat!

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon is furious!

Rukia Kuchiki, however, seemed oblivious to his anger, even performing a noble salute and saying:

"Rukia Kuchiki, the lieutenant of the 13th Division of the Goen 13th Squadron in the Land of Whirlpools, nice to meet you."

From a distance, Sakumo Hatake, who was eavesdropping, memorized the information Rukia Kuchiki revealed, just like a war correspondent.

The Thirteenth Guard Team.

That means there are only thirteen teams.

But what does "protection" mean?

And why is the Land of Whirlpools placed first?

What is the relationship between this force and the Land of Whirlpools?

Sakumo Hatake was filled with questions.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Genius doesn't care about these prefixes and has no concept of aristocratic etiquette.

He gripped the greatsword Samehada tightly with both hands and slashed it heavily at Rukia Kuchiki!

"Take this knife first!"

boom!

A dull voice sounded.

Rukia Kuchiki used Sode no Shirayuki to parry Suigetsu Hozuki's heavy attack, her body sinking slightly and her brows furrowing.

What a powerful force.

Samehada continued to press down, but Rukia Kuchiki didn't want to continue playing a game of strength with him.

Compared to swordsmanship, her forte is the art of demonic arts.

"Broken Path 4: White Thunder!"

Crack!

Rukia Kuchiki unleashed lightning from her fingertips, striking Rukia's face with a powerful electric shock!
