Looking at the terrifying injuries on Sōsuke's body at this moment, Saki's concern was evident on his face.
"Captain Aizen... let's hurry and find Tsunade... Your injuries are too severe..."
Saki stared at Sōsuke with a pair of pale eyes, and his gaze was filled with anxiety as he spoke.
Hearing his words, Sōsuke shook his head slightly. Despite the severity of his injuries, he still managed to smile faintly and whispered.
"It's alright; these injuries... will recover quickly..."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Saki had a puzzled expression on his face, but due to his trust in Sōsuke, he didn't continue to persuade him.
He just stood there, looking at Sōsuke with a worried expression.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Sōsuke whispered to his inner Hogyoku.
"Hogyoku, it's time for you to come out and work."
"Captain Aizen... you're hurt..."
"Wait... just wait... Hogyoku is eating... devouring this guy... Ah!"
At the same time, in a vast and ancient palace somewhere.
Numerous monstrous statues with terrifying faces and postures were lifelike and kneeling in the grand hall of the palace.
In this mottled and desolate palace.
A high, ornate throne stood in the center of the hall!
On that throne, a graceful figure was sitting, just like an angel. She had a delicate face, tender red lips, and a glimpse of a crescent moon beneath her wide kimono.
Every move she made was filled with unparalleled charm, as if attracting the gazes of countless creatures.
At this moment, she was gently resting one of her slender and fair arms, appearing slightly drowsy.
Suddenly!
Her pair of charming eyes opened wide!
Those deep and beautiful black eyes seemed to hold countless stars, but at this moment, they were filled with boundless anger!
"Bang!"
Her pretty face suddenly turned as cold as ice, and her tender, small hand slapped the stone seat forcefully.
She bit her silver teeth hard, and cold words emerged from her rosy lips.
"Hogyoku! You reckless creature!!"
With her anger, everything in the entire palace seemed to have experienced endless years of change in an instant!
Countless terrifying monster statues in the hall shattered and fell to the ground, appearing to tremble and bow down...
......
"Swish!" "Swish!"...
Several figures rushed to the battlefield where Sōsuke and Hanzo had fought at this moment.
Seeing the scene on the field at this moment, their expressions trembled, and their faces involuntarily showed expressions of shock.
This... what is this!?
At this moment, what lay before them was a desolate landscape covering thousands of meters in radius, filled with devastation!
Countless ancient, sturdy trees had been uprooted!
Everywhere, there were broken trees and stones!
The ground was covered with pits and craters!
There were even massive craters hundreds of meters in size!
My goodness! Could it be that a tailed beast fought here!
Why is the battle so devastating!?
Several Rain Shinobi couldn't help but wonder.
At this moment, an observant Rain Shinobi suddenly saw a massive figure lying on the ground in the distance!
"That... that's Captain Hanzo's Salamander!!"
He pointed to the Salamander's body in the distance, and his voice quivered as he exclaimed.
The several Rain Shinobi followed his gaze, and their hearts sank!
Salamander... is dead... What will happen to Captain Hanzo...
Several of them quickly rushed to that location!
When the Rain Shinobi arrived at the scene, they saw Saki and Sōsuke standing next to Salamander's body!
Seeing the two of them, the Rain Shinobi's faces darkened, and they looked alert.
Saki also looked at the Rain Shinobi who had just arrived with a cold and frosty gaze.
Behind him, Sōsuke's brutal injuries were also visible to the Rain Shinobi.
"Where is Captain Hanzo!?"
One of the Rain Shinobi suddenly questioned the two men.
Sōsuke paid no attention to his words. Despite his grievous injuries, he maintained a gentle smile and softly said to the Rain Shinobi who had spoken.
"Long time no see... Jinnai..."
Hearing his words, the Rain Shinobi present were slightly surprised!
What!? Jinnai knows this enemy who might have killed Captain Hanzo!?
Among the Rain Shinobi, the young ninja with narrow eyes looked closely at Sōsuke, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved as he teasingly said.
"Captain Aizen... what happened to you... I almost didn't recognize you."
Hearing his words, Sōsuke smiled faintly and didn't explain.
The Rain Shinobi standing nearby, however, became more alert upon hearing Jinnai address Sōsuke.
One of the older and more moderate ninjas spoke with a deep voice.
"Jinnai! Explain your relationship with this enemy who might have killed Captain Hanzo!"
"Otherwise, we will consider you an ally of the enemy!"
Upon hearing his words, Jinnai's smile grew wider, but he did not speak.
At this moment, a robust ninja on the side angrily said.
"This guy must have leaked Captain Hanzo's location!"
"I saw through his treacherous intentions a long time ago!"
"He must be an accomplice with those two! Kozo, let's take him down!"
Upon hearing his words, a ninja named Kozo didn't immediately take action. Instead, he looked at Jinnai with a grave expression.
"Jinnai, do you have anything to say regarding Kozo's words?"
Sōsuke remained on the sidelines, smiling at their dispute as if he had nothing to do with it.
However, upon closer observation, one could notice that his visible injuries were rapidly healing to the naked eye.
The skin, which had been corroded by the Salamander's poison, was gradually returning to its original color.
"Ah... I didn't expect that Jinnai, who has always been a waste, would actually guess the truth at this moment..."
Jinnai sighed as if complaining.
Upon hearing his words, including Kozo, the Rain Shinobi, looked at him with anger.
"Captain Aizen, could you lend a hand... Otherwise, I can't handle all these people..."
"They are all elite guards of Captain Hanzo..."
Jinnai smiled awkwardly and spoke teasingly to Sōsuke nearby.
Upon hearing his words, the Rain Shinobi were even more furious!
One of the ninja immediately moved to attack, attempting to strike down Jinnai!
"Saki, go and help him."
"After all, he's our comrade..."
Sōsuke watched the Rain Shinobi's actions with a hint of amusement and said softly to Saki beside him.
Upon hearing his words, Saki nodded slightly.
With a "swish," he disappeared from his original location!
Among the Rain Shinobi, three of them remained to deal with Jinnai, including Kozo.
Saki blocked the other three.
However, three of them headed straight towards Sōsuke!
"Where is Captain Hanzo!?"
Kozo looked at Sōsuke with a solemn expression and asked.
Sōsuke appeared as though he didn't hear him, merely silently looking at the massive pit in the distance.
His battle with Hanzo had left a lasting impression on him, and thinking about Hanzo's actions before his death, Sōsuke's eyes showed a touch of complexity.
At this moment, one of the Rain Shinobi who was with Kozo suddenly launched an attack on Sōsuke!
"No! Kyoza!"
Kozo shouted urgently from behind.
"You bastard! Join Captain Hanzo in death!"
The ninja had a ninja sword in his hand and angrily shouted from the air, leaping toward Sōsuke.
Sōsuke gently turned his head.
With an indifferent gaze, he looked at the Rain Shinobi who had interrupted his thoughts, and his voice was icy.
"Scum like you are not permitted to stand against me."
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi!"
With Sōsuke's indifferent voice, three pitch-black cube-shaped coffins suddenly formed under Kozo, Jinnai, and Kyoza!
Standing in place and those in mid-air, Kozo and Jinnai, among others, looked in shock at the sudden appearance of these objects!
"Swish!"
However, before they had a chance to react, the black cube-shaped coffins instantly sealed them!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
"Pfft!"...
As the dense sound of piercing rang out!
The black coffins retreated!
Three blood-soaked bodies collapsed slowly to the ground, and blood instantly covered the area!
But Sōsuke paid no attention to this, and he continued to look at the deep pit where Hanzo had died. His face showed a hint of complexity, but his eyes remained indifferent.
