"Swoosh!"
Sōsuke stood before him with a warm smile, calmly drawing his blade Kyōka Suigetsu from his waist.
Jinnai squinted at him, his expression unwavering, as if he held no fear of death. His lips even carried a nonchalant smile.
"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu"
With a soft whisper,
In Jinnai's eyes,
He saw the young man before him slowly raising his blade in front of him, murmuring softly.
Then, he turned and walked away... Walked away!?
Huh!?
This left Jinnai stunned!
His eyes, which were previously narrowed, widened as he stared blankly at Sōsuke's retreating figure.
"Hey! What do you mean by this? Are you planning to spare me!?"
Jinnai shouted loudly at Sōsuke's back.
He didn't understand why this guy in front of him would do this! After all, they were enemies from opposing nations!
Hearing his words, Sōsuke slowed his steps slightly.
He turned his head slightly to glance at him, his voice magnetic as he spoke softly.
"Have you ever imagined the power that gods possess!?"
Jinnai was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Sōsuke would say this!
"Light shining through the dark clouds, murky emblems, unruly, madness, concealed..."
Sōsuke suddenly murmured softly.
And Jinnai stared at Sōsuke, baffled about what he was trying to achieve!
He gently raised one hand, aiming it at a direction to the side. With a faint smile on his lips, he murmured,
"Hadō #88. Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō"
A dazzling blue light suddenly condensed in Sōsuke's palm!
Then, in an instant, it expanded into a massive column of energy!
"Boom —"
Under the gaze of everyone present!
This terrifying energy column explosively shot out with a "boom"!
Boom —
Boom rumble rumble!
Under a single strike!
The forest that Sōsuke's palm was aimed at was instantly engulfed by a brilliant and immense blue light, transforming into a sea of hellish flames in an instant!
Sizzling —
Intense shockwaves surged violently, billowing and rustling Sōsuke's robe.
Amidst this sea of hellish flames, Sōsuke's smile appeared tranquil and serene, his eyes calm.
"Hiss..."
Jinnai, witnessing this scene, was nearly overwhelmed!
He involuntarily took a cold breath, his face a picture of disbelief!
Meanwhile, Shino and Saki in the distance also stared dumbfoundedly at the scene!
If Sōsuke's strength displayed at the Wind Altar could still be explained within the framework of ninja abilities, then at this moment, he was akin to a deity!
The vast forest by his side had turned into a sea of raging flames!
Even the pouring rain couldn't extinguish it.
This is... Captain Aizen!!
Saki's expression was full of reverence and a sense of worship as he gazed at Sōsuke's distant figure.
On the other hand, Shino's eyes held a shadow...
This kind of ability... has already transcended the realm of ordinary people...
Aizen... Sōsuke... Who exactly are you!?
Meanwhile, not far away, Jinnai still stood there, staring at Sōsuke in a daze.
At this moment, the words Sōsuke had just said echoed in his mind.
"...Have you ever imagined the power that gods possess..."
That's right... This is probably something only gods can achieve...
So... Is this young man in front of me... a god...
With these thoughts, Jinnai couldn't help but stare at Sōsuke, who wore a tranquil smile.
At this moment,
Sōsuke's magnetic voice echoed.
"The order of this ninja world should be reshuffled. Being in the Land of Rain, you must understand well how the unfair rules can bring disasters to the world."
"I admire your ambition to challenge the strong. I'm searching for comrades. Come with me."
"I will show you the power above the sky and a brand-new world."
"By the way... you can call me Aizen..."
Having said that, Sōsuke turned slowly and walked towards Saki and Shino.
Jinnai stood there, staring blankly at Sōsuke's departing figure.
In his mind, Sōsuke's words echoed repeatedly.
"...Order... Reshuffled... Land of Rain..."
"...Power above the sky... Brand-new world..."
Suddenly, a glimmer appeared in his eyes!
Could he... change this world...
Let me witness all of this!
With these thoughts, Jinnai's narrowed eyes slightly squinted, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Snap!" He rose from the ground.
Slowly, he followed Sōsuke's figure.
As if sensing his movement!
Sōsuke, walking ahead, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a warm smile on his face. He spoke softly as he looked at Saki and Shino.
"Saki, Shino, starting from today, we have a new member in our team."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Saki and Shino's gazes shifted past Sōsuke to Jinnai, who was approaching from afar.
"Click-clack!"
Both sides stood still, gazing at each other.
Jinnai's lips curved, a pale face adorned with a light-hearted smile. He spoke softly.
"Please take care of me. I'm Jinnai, a Rain Shinobi."
Saki spoke softly.
"Konoha, Hyuga Saki, welcome to Captain Aizen's team."
Shino, on the other hand, gave him a cold glance, his face icy.
"Konoha, Uchiha Shino."
"Let me make this clear beforehand. I won't apologize for killing your companions. If you have such thoughts... I don't mind killing you alongside them."
Hearing Shino's cold and murderous words, Sōsuke remained silent, his face wearing a smile, as if none of this concerned him.
However, upon hearing Shino's words, Jinnai's lips curved up, his tone nonchalant.
"No problem. I've been wanting to take care of that guy for a while now. Thanks for dealing with him for me."
Shino coldly glanced at Jinnai's nonchalant pale smile, snorted, and said no more.
Seeing that everyone had acquainted themselves, Sōsuke smiled gently, speaking softly.
"I'm pleased that you get along so well, but time is always short."
"Let's go... There's still much to do..."
Sōsuke spoke slowly, then turned and walked slowly towards a spot not far away.
Saki immediately followed his footsteps.
Shino, after giving a cold glance at Jinnai, followed suit.
Jinnai raised his head slightly, gazing at the overcast sky and then at the forest that continued to burn beside him. A faint, sly smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he started walking towards the three of them.
A brand-new world... It's bound to be interesting.
