"...A slash?!"
"Are you kidding me... such a slash actually has no chakra fluctuations at all!"
"Could it be a slash swung out with pure strength? How great must that strength be?!"
"Is this the power system of another continent?!"
".........."
The fierce wind raised by the green slash blew away the thick fog in a certain area.
The giant slash, over ten meters high and stretching for hundreds of meters, entered the vision of many mist ninjas.
This powerful and astonishingly destructive slash made the faces of all the mist ninjas who saw it change drastically.
In their eyes, this slash was simply as powerful as an S-rank ninjutsu.
A swordsman's "cut of steel" was indeed at the level of an S-rank ultimate move in this world.
Although it was a pure physical attack, which meant that the flying slash was only an ordinary S-rank ultimate move.
But an S-rank ultimate move, in this world, was a super ninjutsu that, even with the greatest talent and effort, one could not necessarily learn.
So, it was no wonder these mist ninjas were so shocked.
Because this kind of large-scale physical attack, besides extremely powerful taijutsu ninjas, these squishy mages who could only assassinate had rarely seen it!
Why did the tailed beasts make so many people feel fear?
It was simply because their destructive range was too large!
Any jutsu with a large destructive range was the bane of these squishy mages.
Unless they had special abilities, such as the equally ultimate elemental ninjutsu, or Hiden ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai!
Ninjas who had mastered ultimate-level elemental ninjutsu were the backbone of any ninja village, at the jōnin level.
Among a hundred mist ninjas, there might not even be one who could master it.
So, besides the jōnin and the mist ninjas of the Hiden and Kekkei Genkai clans, the other mist ninjas all very consciously stayed away from the swordsman pirates.
Soon...
The pirates who had comprehended the "breath of all things" also discovered that those ninjas were deliberately avoiding them when they were assassinating.
Recalling the corpses that had been torn to pieces by the green slash, a look of realization appeared on the faces of some of the pirates.
"So that's how it is... their bodies are as fragile as a baby's. The flying slashes that would only send me flying and spitting blood are a fatal injury to them!"
"All those who do not possess Haki and the 'cut of steel,' all retreat behind me..."
"Next, I will clear the way for you in the front!"
"..."
Although the pirate world was full of fools, and there was no shortage of fools in the Four Emperor's pirate crews.
But there were also many smart people, especially the elite ninjas who were qualified to know of the existence of another world and had been specially selected from the Totto Land Kingdom.
Perhaps among the several thousand elite pirates, there were many spies placed by other forces.
But before these spies returned to the pirate world or received orders from their superiors, they were all members of the Big Mom Pirates, important members who were deeply trusted by the Charlotte Family.
After a brief exchange, and realizing that the physique of these ninjas was mostly squishy, some of the minister-level pirates under the command of the Charlotte siblings issued orders one after another.
After adjusting their formation, the Big Mom Pirates, who had been in the enemy's environmental ninjutsu, could only passively defend, and had lost a three-digit number of companions, immediately turned their disadvantage into an absolute advantage and advanced towards Kirigakure.
Rumble rumble...
Green slashes, large and small, tore through the thick fog and the earth, roaring towards the ninja troops of Kirigakure.
Facing those S-rank-ultimate-level flying slashes that required no hand seals, all the mist ninjas chose to dodge and escape the attack range of the flying slashes.
With their retreat, the Hidden Mist Jutsu, which had been blown away in large areas by the green slashes, also dissipated because it had lost its chakra to maintain it.
The high-ranking officials of the Charlotte Family and Kirigakure, who were standing behind both sides, no longer needed to use their perception to watch this war between the local forces and the external forces.
"Such a slash... if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that there's no chakra in it at all."
Jūzō Biwa, carrying the Kubikiribōchō on his back, said with a shocked expression, "Compared to them, am I really worthy of the title of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
"Everyone, listen..."
Ignoring Jūzō Biwa's amazement, Kushimaru Kuriarare, who was holding a notebook and recording the intelligence of the Big Mom Pirates, no one knew the expression under his mask, but his voice was still emotionless as he issued an order, "Cancel the assassination tactics, execute the defensive tactics!"
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" x100
As Kushimaru Kuriarare's words fell, the mist ninjas, who were only skilled in the Silent Killing, like the pirates hiding behind the swordsmen, retreated to the back of the crowd.
The mist ninjas who were skilled in Water Release ninjutsu stood in a row, gathered chakra in their throats, transformed it into the water nature, and then spat out an astonishing amount of water.
Just like the Allied Shinobi Forces in the original story facing Madara Uchiha's Great Fire Annihilation.
After hundreds of streams of water appeared out of thin air, they instantly formed a giant wave that roared towards the Big Mom Pirates.
"Not good!!!"
"Water, what an astonishing amount of water!"
"Ability users, retreat quickly! Don't be submerged!"
"..."
Looking at the roaring giant wave, the Big Mom Pirates, who had not changed their expression even when facing the Silent Killing, immediately had their faces change in shock.
The subconscious shouts of some of the fools also made the smart people on Kirigakure's side raise their eyebrows.
Kushimaru Kuriarare even immediately held his pen and wrote down two keywords on the paper: [Ability User], [Afraid of Water].
In the eyes of Kirigakure, the Big Mom Pirates were outsiders with unknown intelligence.
In the eyes of the Big Mom Pirates, Kirigakure was also a native force with unknown intelligence.
The Charlotte Family, after reading the memories of that mist ninja, had only mastered most of the common knowledge of the ninja world, and were still ignorant of the pinnacle of this world.
Without enough intelligence, even someone as strong as Charlotte Linlin and Charlotte Katakuri would not dare to act rashly.
Similarly, Karatachi Yagura, who was watching the battle from the village, as well as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the high-ranking officials of the various ninja clans, who represented the will of the Mizukage, were the same.
So...
This war between the local forces and the external forces was actually a war to test each other's depth.
It was also a war... where whoever played their cards first, lost
