"He reacted so quickly..."
In Kushina's eyes, there was no "human figure," only a spiritual body and spiritual pressure—in other words, a person's soul.
She saw Hanzō use a Body Flicker just before the tent was destroyed.
"Fire Style: Blazing Array!"
A low, cold shout was heard. Only then did Kushina see the ground collapse, revealing a dense array of explosive tags which were then immediately ignited.
Sensing the danger, Kushina instinctively entered the Schatten Bereich.
BOOM!
A powerful explosion rang out, turning the area within a dozen meters into a sea of flames.
The Amegakure ninja also reacted, crying out in alarm, "Lord Hanzō!!"
"Don't panic. I'm fine."
From another corner, Hanzō, wearing his respirator, emerged. He scanned his surroundings with a grim expression but found no sign of any enemy.
"Fall back for now, and seal off this area with all your might."
Although he hadn't seen the enemy, Hanzō could sense a faint danger. Ever cautious, he was always ready to attack.
"Summoning Jutsu: Ibuse the Salamander!"
Ibuse, a highly venomous black salamander, appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a purple poison gas began to spread.
Ibuse spewed a wide-range poison mist from its mouth. Even Hanzō, who had an antibody to the salamander's poison, would be poisoned by the poison sac, which showed how potent the poison was.
The Amegakure ninja retreated with all their might.
The purple poison mist covered an area of several hundred meters.
But Hanzō still couldn't find any sign of the enemy. He couldn't help but wonder, "Are they hiding underground? No, they vanished the moment the explosive tags went off..."
"This guy is releasing poison..."
Inside the Schatten Bereich, Kushina frowned slightly.
She wanted a grand, spectacular battle, not this kind of "toxic" atmosphere that restricted her movements.
Mikoto, I'll leave it to you.
In another part of the Schatten Bereich, Mikoto was calm.
Holding her breath, she walked directly out of the Schatten Bereich and slowly raised her slender hand.
"Disperse!"
As a Quincy, her basic abilities included Heilig Pfeil (attack), Hirenkyaku (movement), Blut Arterie (enhances physical strength), Blut Vene (enhances physical defense), and Schatten Bereich (evasion, eavesdropping).
These abilities could be enhanced by training, increasing spiritual power and spiritual pressure, and mastering the control of spirit particles.
But a pure-blooded Quincy who had drunk Lucian's blood would also obtain a unique Schrift.
They would gain a unique ability comparable to a Shinigami's Zanpakuto or an Arrancar's Resurrección.
Mikoto's Schrift ability: The Compulsory!
The Compulsory: Releases her nerves outside her body. As long as the nerves come into contact with a solid object (whether living or non-living), she can arbitrarily change the shape and state of motion of that solid.
This ability is transferable: when a solid controlled by her nerves comes into contact with or approaches another solid, the nerves in the original solid will make contact with the new solid.
She can then arbitrarily change the shape or trajectory of the new solid.
Simply put: anything that comes into contact with Mikoto's external nerves will have its shape and state of motion controlled, and this control can spread like a rolling ball, allowing her to become a one-woman army.
Like a virus spreading!
In the world of Shinigami, each member of the Sternritter had their own designation.
The Schrift appeared in the form of a letter, from A to Z.
But the strength of a Quincy was not ranked in alphabetical order. The letter symbolized the first letter of the ability's English name. For example, Mikoto's The Compulsory, with the first letter C, had the designation C.
Lucian's The Almighty, with the first letter A, had the designation A!
However, Lucian didn't bother with English designations; it was meaningless.
"You've finally appeared."
Seeing a figure suddenly appear in the poison mist, Hanzō was about to attack, but then his expression changed.
The spreading poison mist suddenly seemed to have grown eyes. It instantly dispersed from the center where Mikoto stood and flew towards the inside.
Mikoto's external nerves had come into contact with the poison gas, and she had changed its shape and trajectory.
"This ability..."
In Hanzō's eyes, the spreading poison gas was returning, as if under some kind of control.
"Hiss, hiss!!"
Suddenly, Hanzō's salamander, Ibuse, let out a painful hiss and began to twitch uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Hanzō immediately flashed away.
"Die!"
Mikoto Uchiha's eyes narrowed, and something that horrified Hanzō happened.
"Hiss, roar!"
The huge salamander, Ibuse, had its two massive front claws twisted in an unnatural way, turning into the shape of a pretzel in the blink of an eye, with blood gushing out.
This was the so-called transferability of her ability.
As the poison gas, controlled by Mikoto's nerves, flowed, it touched other poison gas, which was then also controlled by Mikoto.
When the poison gas approached Ibuse the Salamander, Ibuse was also controlled by Mikoto.
Forcibly, its body shape and state of motion were changed.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Not only that, but Ibuse the Salamander's head also began to twist, as if an invisible giant hand were trying to wring it to death.
If one did not understand Mikoto's ability and blindly approached her, or carelessly touched a solid controlled by her.
Then no matter how many people there were, they would all die!
"Poof!"
Having suffered a heavy blow, Ibuse the Salamander vanished in a puff of smoke, returning to the summoning realm!
"Damn it!"
Hanzō snapped out of his shock and roared angrily, then began to form hand seals.
At that moment, a sense of crisis came from behind, interrupting his attack.
"The Explode!"
Kushina, emerging from the Schatten Bereich, directly fired a spirit particle bomb.
Schrift ability: The Explode!
The Explode: Turns anything her spiritual pressure touches into a bomb for attack.
It is indefensible and has astonishing destructive power!
The Explode ability, the ability of the Sternritter Bambietta Basterbine, seems simple but is extremely powerful.
However, this ability was modified by Lucian.
Originally, it turned anything her attacking spiritual pressure touched into a bomb. Now, she could directly fire spirit particle bombs.
The reason Lucian modified this ability was because of Kushina's personality. Simple and direct was good.
Turning everything into a bomb and simply and directly blowing up all enemies was something Kushina liked.
An indefensible bomb... extremely powerful
