"Shisui has already learned such a high-level Bakudō."
"And he uses it so skillfully."
Seeing Shisui use such a high-level kido with such ease, Kenma watched, his heart filled with admiration.
So much growth in such a short amount of time.
He could even skillfully use kido above number seventy.
Seeing his relaxed and effortless posture, he must have a wealth of kido experience.
His abundant spiritual pressure was also sufficient to support Shisui in completing such a high-level kido.
In Kenma's perception, Shisui's spiritual power was at least above the tenth rank, already at the level of an ordinary seated officer.
Upon graduation, he could directly become a seated officer in a squad.
If there were no accidents, his future growth to the captain level was already a certainty.
With Shisui making such great progress, Kenma, who had originally intended to test him, suddenly changed his mindset.
As he looked at Shisui, a subtle hint of pride appeared in his eyes, and his heart swelled with honor.
'This child was raised by me.'
After using the Bakudō to connect to the clansmen in various locations, Shisui gave the order.
Receiving the command, the many Uchiha poured their spiritual pressure into the iron nails that had already been driven into the ground.
Hum~
A soft, pale white light emerged from the iron nails and shot upwards. A nearly transparent film appeared with the light, expanding and growing at a visible rate.
Kenma looked from a distance. The pillars of light that had erupted from the four corners stood tall, and a transparent, bowl-shaped barrier emerged from the ground, gradually growing larger.
The four bowl-shaped barriers were like four bubbles, growing larger and larger, merging with each other, and with the four light beams as pillars, the surface transformed, becoming an irregular quadrilateral that enveloped the square in front of the island.
Then, lines of black text flowed from the pillars of light, extending along the surface of this barrier, and finally connecting and locking with each other.
The barrier was complete!
Despite such a large commotion, the marine soldiers below saw nothing, and remained in formation, wary of Whitebeard's impending attack.
The crimson Mangekyo Sharingan swept over the text on the barrier, and a soft "huh" escaped Shisui's lips.
"My lord, this kido doesn't seem to be one taught at the Shin'o Academy, nor is there a similar one in the kido catalog."
Back in the Uchiha compound, Shisui had not yet systematically studied kido, so he hadn't thought anything of it.
After these days of diligent study, he could see the difference at a glance.
"Not bad, it's impressive you could tell."
Kenma examined the barrier for a moment. Seeing no flaws, he explained to Shisui:
"The academy naturally does not have this kido. I had someone create this specific kido for me."
"Its purpose is to allow the souls of these other worlds to remain in the world for a moment after death."
For those worlds without an afterlife, this barrier could prevent the souls of the dead from dissipating too quickly.
And for those with an afterlife, it would temporarily block the attention of the afterlife, allowing the souls to remain in the mortal world for a little longer.
Just like the Uchiha clan back then; it was only within that barrier that they had not returned to the Pure Land of the ninja world so quickly.
Shisui couldn't help but praise, "To be able to innovatively create a new kido, the person you entrusted this to, my lord, must be an undeniable genius in this field."
Then he asked with curiosity, "My lord, who is this person?"
"This person is indeed a genius."
Kenma nodded, affirming Shisui's words.
As for his identity...
"Shisui, of the Three Greats that everyone spoke of back then, you have already met two, including myself."
"In the future, if I get the chance, I will take you to meet the last one."
Shisui immediately understood. "You mean, Kuchiki Kōga?"
"That's right."
When Kenma was still a student at the Shin'o Academy, Kōga, who was not yet a Kuchiki, was already known as a genius.
His talent in kido, in particular, was innovatively stunning.
He was at least far superior to Kenma.
After graduation, the three of them somehow gained this title.
Although the three shared the same title, they were not familiar with each other.
Later, Kōga became the son-in-law of the Kuchiki clan, and Kenma also accepted the invitation of the Shihoin clan. Perhaps it was the commonality of being in the same boat that brought the two closer.
Through some exchange of benefits, Kenma had asked Kuchiki Kōga to create this type of kido.
After Kenma's several practical applications, he had yet to find any flaws.
He was indeed very satisfied with its use.
Five-star rating.
Thinking of Kōga, this senior who had graduated a few years before him, Kenma was suddenly stunned.
Calculating the time, his own wedding date was also fast approaching.
Just then, the originally somewhat noisy square below suddenly quieted down, attracting Kenma's attention.
Looking from a distance, on the high platform behind the square, three burly admirals were walking slowly, dressed in blue, red, and yellow suits respectively.
Without exception, all three wore a marine's 'Justice' coat.
"It's the Three Admirals. It seems the war is about to begin."
Fugaku and the others, standing on the execution platform, were closer and could feel the atmosphere more keenly.
With the appearance of these three, the entire square fell almost silent.
A huge sense of pressure emanated from the three figures. Their auras were powerful, directly overshadowing the one hundred thousand elites in the square.
The atmosphere became even more solemn.
"These three... are all powerhouses."
"Yes, and they are even stronger than those two six-meter-tall giants, even stronger than the other giants!"
"I suppose these are the navy's highest fighting force that my lord spoke of, the Three Admirals!"
The Uchiha on the execution platform, upon seeing these three figures, immediately recalled the information Kenma had given them earlier.
Matching them one by one, they immediately identified the three.
Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru.
The Three Admirals walked over from the side, came to the front of the execution platform, and sat down in three chairs in turn.
Their postures were quite casual and relaxed, a stark contrast to the tense solemnity of the one hundred thousand elites on the square.
It was as if this execution ground, and the impending great war with the Emperor Whitebeard, were nothing.
Feeling the auras that these three unconsciously emitted, the Uchiha had initially been a little unconvinced by the description of 'highest fighting force'.
Now, seeing them up close with their own eyes, they realized that the term 'highest fighting force' was no exaggeration.
Just by sensing their vigorous auras, like erupting volcanoes, and their visibly powerful physiques, the Uchiha clearly recognized that these three were powerhouses who stood at the pinnacle of the world.
"It's a good thing we are already dead. Otherwise, we might not have been a match for these three."
"Don't be careless. Didn't my lord say that the powerhouses of this world master a power called Haki? It might be able to harm our souls."
"That's right."
"My lord also mentioned that on these seas, there is a strange fruit that, when eaten, gives a person powerful and bizarre abilities."
"These Three Admirals are also fruit users, and the extremely troublesome Logia type at that. Not only can they turn into elements, but their destructive power is also extremely strong."
At this moment, the Uchiha instantly became alert and turned around in unison.
Their crimson Sharingan were already activated, their hands unconsciously resting on their Zanpakuto.
Clink, clank.
The crisp sound of clashing chains rang out, mixed with the sound of shuffling footsteps.
A young, bare-chested man, bound and restrained, was led to the execution platform.
