Facing the fear of death, Sato Hyoki's body trembled slightly.
He roared, "Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!!"
The Chakra in his body condensed onto the flatfish with reckless abandon. In just a few seconds, ten Chakra cannons flew towards Gin from different angles!
Sato Hyoki's Chakra was almost completely depleted. He collapsed onto the sea surface from exhaustion, using his remaining Chakra to keep himself from sinking.
He looked hopefully at Gin!
This was his last Chakra!
"Die, you bastard!!!"
Gin smiled and said, "Is that all your strength?"
"While I appreciate your performance, it's time for you to die."
"Mutō Renjin."
Whizz!
Shinsō continuously extended and retracted within a second, piercing through all ten Chakra cannons.
Bang, bang, bang!!
The Chakra cannons shattered almost simultaneously, like a blue rain falling.
Sato Hyoki's eyes were dull.
Swoosh—Kamishini no Yari passed through the round hole of the flatfish and pierced Sato Hyoki's heart.
Gin walked up to Sato Hyoki.
Ignoring the already deceased Sato Hyoki, he picked up the twin swords: flatfish instead.
"I wonder if Lord Spirit King is interested in this sword."
Gin put away the twin swords: flatfish, then fixed his gaze on the nearby bushes.
"The trash in the Uzushigakure has been cleared, now it's time for the little bug who was peeking."
The person in the bushes felt their heart tighten, and without any hesitation, they walked out and explained, "I am a Konoha Anbu member, an ally of the Uzushigakure, and I harbor no ill will toward this lord."
The person who claimed to be a Konoha Anbu member showed no intention of fleeing after being discovered.
Having witnessed the entire battle process, she knew there was no chance of escaping Gin.
She could only take a gamble.
Since the person in front of her initially claimed to be the Captain of the Third Division of the Uzushigakure' Thirteen Court Guard Squads, it proved that he had some connection to the Uzushigakure.
As long as she brought up her status as a Konoha ally, she might survive.
When Gin heard her identity, he indeed did not attack immediately.
After all, although he was a troop recruited by Chihiro, besides the memory of loyalty to Chihiro, he had no information about the Uzushigakure.
Without Chihiro's command, he dared not make a decision on his own.
"In that case, come with me to meet Lord Spirit King first."
Lord Spirit King?? The Konoha Anbu member remained calm on the surface, but her heart was full of doubt.
This so-called Lord Spirit King should be their leader.
But why had this title never appeared in Konoha's intelligence reports?
Gin did not give her time to think.
With a single Thousandfold White Snake, he brought the Konoha Anbu member to Chihiro's location.
The Konoha Anbu member's expression flickered, and upon seeing the change in the surrounding environment, her pupils suddenly contracted.
This is!
Space-Time Ninjutsu!!
There was no travel process; they had instantly arrived at another location.
This kind of Ninjutsu... it must be Space-Time Ninjutsu!!
The Konoha Anbu member secretly swallowed her saliva, forcibly suppressing her violently pounding heart.
This organization that appeared in the Uzushigakure is not only immensely powerful but also controls Space-Time Ninjutsu!
This intelligence must be transmitted back to Konoha no matter what!
As Konoha's strategic rear, the existence of such a powerful organization is not allowed within the Uzushigakure!!
Although she had only met Gin so far, she could infer the whole from the part based on his introduction.
Captain of the Third Division of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads!
That is to say, there are twelve other people at the same rank as him!!
Gin alone is already a Kage-level powerhouse.
And there are twelve more people like him!
Plus the great figure whom Gin respectfully calls the Lord Spirit King!
If such an organization were rooted in the strategic rear of the Land of Fire, how could Konoha rest easy!
She now only hoped that this organization did not want to offend Konoha and would let her go back, allowing Konoha to receive news about the Uzushigakure.
Even if she died here, she must find a way to transmit the intelligence!
As for whether this organization could possibly belong to the Uzushigakure, she hadn't considered it at all.
If the Uzushigakure controlled such a force, it would never have been destroyed.
Just as the Konoha Anbu member was figuring out how to send the intelligence out, Chihiro also appeared before her.
Seeing this, Gin bowed and said, "Lord Spirit King, the trash inside the Uzushigakure has been cleaned up. This person claims to be a Konoha Anbu member, an ally of the Uzushigakure. Your subordinate dared not make a decision without permission, so I brought her back."
Chihiro looked at the Anbu member with a playful expression, "Konoha? An ally of the Uzushigakure? You really have the nerve to say that."
The Konoha Anbu member was also startled upon seeing Chihiro.
"An Uzumaki Clan member, how is this possible!"
The Uzushigakure was destroyed several days ago, and the Uzumaki Clan members either died or fled.
The only one still remaining in the Uzushigakure had been taken back to Konoha by their Anbu.
How could there still be an Uzumaki Clan member in the Uzushigakure!
And how did he transform into the Lord Spirit King of an organization??
The Konoha Anbu member's heart churned violently, but she said calmly, "Konoha Anbu pays respects to Lord Spirit King!"
Chihiro observed the Anbu member.
Female, brown shoulder-length hair, sizable chest.
Nearby, Gin naturally saw Chihiro's attitude when he heard "Konoha," and asked, "Lord Spirit King, should I kill her?"
The Konoha Anbu member's heart clenched, and her muscles instantly tensed; as soon as Chihiro gave the order, she would try her best to find a way to transmit the intelligence.
Chihiro said, "No need."
The Konoha Anbu member breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this Lord Spirit King still cared somewhat about his relationship with Konoha.
"Take her away, have Rukia interrogate her, and then kill her."
Konoha Anbu: "...Wait!"
"Bakudo Number Four: Shijō."
Gin did not give her time to speak.
Before she could react, she found a rope of light had appeared on her body, binding her tightly and immobilizing her.
Chihiro walked forward and took off her Anbu mask.
A somewhat familiar face was revealed.
Yakushi Nonou?
Chihiro was slightly surprised, not expecting to encounter a character who had appeared in the anime so soon.
Although she was a minor character with little screen time, it had to be said that Yakushi Nonou was a very beautiful female character.
Coupled with the aura of maternal radiance she exuded, she possessed a unique charm.
Chihiro pinched Yakushi Nonou's chin, chuckled, and said, "I've changed my mind."
"Have Rukia interrogate her, then lock her up. We will need her sooner or later to revitalize my Uzumaki Clan Bloodline. Make sure she doesn't die."
"Yes, Lord Spirit King!"
