As he was being blown away in the air by the force of the explosion, due to the body flicker jutsu still in effect he could still see in slow motion, and in that slow motion he saw as the flesh in his forearms started to tear off layer by layer and how his blood evaporated and then it reached the bone, and it too broke apart until there was nothing left below his elbow.
Before the force of the explosion could reach his eyes he saw the head of the person responsible for his current situation, flying away in the opposite direction of him still with a cold smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, Aizen could only sigh hopelessly, 'Nice played mate, really nice played.', he thought as the explosion reached his legs and reduced both of them from the knees down into blood mist, and only now did he start to faintly feel the pain from his injuries.
But, it didn't matter to him, he knew that unless a miracle happened and he survived he would die before he feels any sort of real pain, 'I guess there is a bright side to this after all, hahaha.' he thought.
The only reason he even has the time to think in the first place is the body flicker jutsu is still active plus his increased perception as a ninja and his unique soul.
But no matter how much he thought he couldn't find a way to survive this hopeless situation, and even if he did, he was now a cripple, in this era of the strong feasting on the weak he would be better off dead.
'No Michael don't give up, I still have one final hope, if I am as lucky as last time I might go to that space again, if that really happens I am almost 100% certain I will be able to escape like last time.' he thought wishfully
Out of habit and before he died he started to analyze what he did wrong to end up in a situation like this, and he didn't have to think much before he figured it out, 'it's my habits!.' he thought, 'subconsciously I still think like a soldier from my previous world, before, when I killed him I checked around to see if there were any explosive tags on him or the ground, when I saw there were none I relaxed.'
'But, due to my previous conditioning I neglected the fact that in this world there is chakra!, he should've strapped them directly into his skin and put armour above them, or maybe it's a fuinjutsu explosion seal he planted inside his body before the battle started, planning to detonate himself in case he dies, in that case, he doesn't need to reach for anything, take a pin out of a grenade or press a button, he just has to trigger them using his chakra.' aizen through analyzing.
And unknown to him he was right, before this squad separated from the main force and due to all the strong shinobi being left behind in the main force they made sure that in the case that they died in battle, which they likely will, they take the opponent with them, so basically this was a suicide squad.
'I don't know who you are or what your name is, but, thank you for this valuable lesson, if I somehow survive this I'll make sure to engrave it in my heart.' thought aizen one last time as he closed his eyes with a cold look on his face not even caring about his life anymore.
If anyone saw the look in his eyes at that moment it would've sent shivers down their spine, that wasn't the look of a man in the face of death and the last moments of his life, and what made it even more frightening is that it was coming from a five-year-old kid.
Unfortunately, it was destined that nobody would ever see that look and notice the change that Aizen went through at that moment.
The explosion finally reached Aizen, blowing his body apart, each part flying in a different direction, his blood falling from the sky on the ground like rain, shocking the ones Still fighting.
They were all startled as they momentarily shifted their gazes to the direction of the explosion.
Aizen clansmen had sorrowful looks on their faces for the five years old kid who had just died, and whose death might have won them this battle as they now became aware of their enemy's sinister plan.
As for their enemies they were shocked and frustrated, shocked that a kid could have taken down one of their own men in barely 5 seconds since the battle started, and frustrated that their plan was exposed and now their opponents will be warier against it, which reduced their chances of inflicting casualties on them exponentially.
But, immediately after they stopped they went back to fighting, not having the luxury of time to be distracted or properly mourn for their diseased clansman.
This was the cruelty of war, it didn't differentiate between young or old, good or bad, man or woman, they were all the same, and they who had lost count of how many battles they had been in were all used to it and knew it all too well.
(AN: Yes it was only 5 seconds, I just now realized it,but apparently I pulled a Dbz Moment on you guys lol, from when Goku first turned SuperS and fought against Frieza).
*****************
200km(124mj) away from the sōsuke clan in a clearing of the forest, dead bodies were laying around everywhere, some were missing their limbs, some their hearts, others their heads, some were charred black and still smoking, it was a bloody scene.
But one thing in particular stood out on this battlefield like a sore thumb, a middle-aged man with blue eyes, and black hair wearing clean armour and clothes which were the exact opposite of the carnage around him.
He was leaning on a tree and eating some kind of fruit while gazing into the distance, seeming not to notice anything around him.
"Sigh, I thought they might be able to entertain me and last for longer but that was honestly disappointing, at this rate I'll go mad with boredom." he said out loud to No one in particular.
"Maybe I should pay a visit to Madara or hashirama, now if it's them am sure I'll have a lot of fun hehehe." he muttered
"sigh what a drag, I shoul…." just then he stopped mid-sentence and turned towards a direction with a curious look on his face before it turned into a frown and then anger.
"I liked that kid, plus am in debt to his father, if I had known this would've happened I would have made sure he's safe, sigh, rest in peace kid you were just born in the wrong place and in the wrong time, but don't worry I'll send the rest of those bastards to accompany you in the afterlife." As he said that he disappeared from where he was standing to the direction he was looking at, today he was going to start another massacre.
