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

Orochimaru suddenly realized.

This is the Grim Reaper of the Land of Whirlpools? And he's even the captain?

Tsunade carefully examined Kuchiki Byakuya and gave him the assessment that he didn't seem like a bad person.

Jiraiya asked, bewildered, "You all knew?"

"Idiot, Konoha's intelligence department has records about their attire."

Jiraiya scratched his head, thinking that instead of looking at those densely packed intelligence reports, he might as well go to the bathhouse to gather information.

The Land of Whirlpools?

Hanzo, the salamander, squinted slightly.

I also know a bit about the Land of Whirlpools, a country that has recently risen to prominence.

Of course, it's because this country accomplished what he couldn't!

They actually defeated a major power!

This incident also gave him great confidence.

If the Land of Whirlpools can do it, why can't the Land of Rain, with a demigod like him, do it?

This defeat was simply because he acted too impulsively, launching simultaneous wars against three major powers, which the Rain Kingdom was unable to cope with.

After these two events conclude, the Rain Kingdom will recuperate for a while, and then it will once again launch a challenge against the great powers!

Next time, I'll definitely do them one by one!

Nagato's ears echoed with Byakuya Kuchiki's words about going home, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Will he still have a home?

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't care what he was thinking.

He glanced at Nagato's injuries, his expression growing increasingly cold.

Although Lord Lingwang did not say that it must be brought back intact.

But if we bring Nagato Uzumaki back in this state, wouldn't that mean Byakuya Kuchiki is incompetent?

Even if Lord Lingwang doesn't blame him, he still can't rest easy.

Besides, that woman will definitely laugh at him mercilessly!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Who did it?"

"what?"

Nagato Uzumaki paused for a moment.

Kuchiki Byakuya said coldly, "Who did this to your injuries?"

Nagato was also somewhat confused.

He didn't know who did it either.

All they remembered was a kunai with a talisman hanging from it falling in front of the three of them and exploding with a bang.

However, the experienced Orochimaru and his two companions noticed something amiss.

Those burns must have been from the power of the explosive tags.

Subconsciously, the three of them looked at Hanzo the Salamander with perfect understanding.

Kuchiki Byakuya caught their movements almost instantly.

He turned around and looked coldly at the man standing on top of the salamander.

"Is it you?"

Hanzo of the Salamander narrowed his eyes, met Byakuya Kuchiki's gaze, and casually pulled out a handful of explosive tags.

"It is I, the old man."

On the battlefield, it's normal for a few people to die in the aftermath of a battle.

Hanzo the Salamander didn't care about the lives of others.

Moreover, the way this junior looked at him was infuriating; he was a demigod in the ninja world!

That look you give an ant...

An unnamed fire rose from my heart.

Having confirmed his objective, Byakuya Kuchiki stopped wasting words.

He gently pushed the Zanpakuto at his waist.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to draw his sword against Hanzo the Salamander, Jiraiya quickly dissuaded him, saying, "Calm down! Didn't you want to take that child home?"

Out of consideration for their past relationship with the Land of Whirlpools, Tsunade cautioned, "You'd better not do anything foolish. He's known as a demigod of the ninja world!"

Orochimaru was just a cold-hearted middle-aged man.

After all, he wasn't like Jiraiya, a kind-hearted person, and unlike Tsunade, he didn't have any connections with the Land of Whirlpools.

However, they shared the same thought.

Even if this person is the currently popular captain of the Land of Whirlpools, he would never be a match for Hanzo the Salamander!

Can't you see how disheveled all three of them are?

But Kuchiki Byakuya ignored their advice and walked straight toward Hanzo of the Salamander.

Jiraiya and Tsunade sighed.

Orochimaru, however, was quite interested and wanted to see what kind of abilities this captain of the Land of Whirlpools would reveal.

He was also very curious about that peculiar ninja sword and the unskilled ninjutsu...

Under their watchful eyes, Byakuya Kuchiki took one step, then two...

The next moment, he suddenly transformed into a blur, and in an instant, he appeared above Hanzo the Salamander and slashed down with his sword!

The terrifying speed caused Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya's pupils to shrink simultaneously!

………………

Please give me flowers! Please give me ratings!

Chapter 43 Byakuya Kuchiki: So you call yourself a demigod?

That's a super fast teleportation technique!

The thought flashed through the minds of Orochimaru and his two companions.

Kuchiki Byakuya slashed at Hanzo of the Salamander with his sword!

Wow!

Hanzo the Salamander suddenly turned into a puddle of water, causing Byakuya Kuchiki to miss with his sword strike!

Jiraiya exclaimed, "It's a water clone!"

"As expected of a demigod in the ninja world, he immediately activated his water clone upon sensing something was wrong..."

Orochimaru's snake-like vertical pupils were fixed on the two's movements, frantically absorbing some combat experience.

Kuchiki Byakuya's attack missed, but the sword pressure from his blade still landed heavily on the salamander's head.

With a loud bang, the salamander's head suddenly dented in the middle, then slammed heavily onto the ground!

The salamander screamed in pain!

Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of swordsmanship is this? It feels just as violent as Tsunade's superhuman strength!"

Tsunade's face darkened. Considering his status as an injured person, she could only keep this to herself and settle the score later!

Hanzo the Salamander didn't care about his summoned beast; instead, he praised, "Kid, your swordsmanship is not bad, but compared to me, you are still far behind!"

Hanzo the Salamander flashed forward, his Body Flicker Technique equally swift, and wielding his scythe, he slashed straight at Byakuya Kuchiki!

"Sword Technique: Iaijutsu!"

The scythe coated with deadly poison pierced through Kuchiki Byakuya at lightning speed, but Hanzo of the Salamander's expression remained unchanged.

It didn't feel like I hit the target!

Hanzo the Salamander had a cold expression, and a white haori with a large 'six' on it hung on his scythe.

Empty cicada!

When he was a child, Byakuya Kuchiki learned the Shunpo technique from Yoruichi Shihouin, leaving behind his outer garment as a clone to mislead enemies into thinking they had struck his main body.

If he could, he would never want to use this ability related to that woman.

But there's no denying that this tactic is effective.

"Replacement technique?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

This substitution technique seems different from ordinary substitution techniques. Not only are there no traces of hand seals, but it even resembles the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique.
