"Huff, huff..."
Upon a desolate land, Jinnai leaned over, his once narrow eyes wide open, gazing at the lifeless body of Byakuya.
His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his face displayed a look of resentment as he stared at his lifeless body.
"Tsk... This scum... In the end... he died too easily..."
After a while, he slowly straightened up and spat on the ground before speaking heavily.
His voice now had a sense of unspoken emotions compared to before. It held a touch of desolation, and his long black hair veiled his eyes, concealing his thoughts.
Others watched his silhouette in silence.
Is this another person... wounded by the world?
After dealing with the situation there, both of them slowly approached Sōsuke's side.
Near the several hundred meters wide massive pit, the enormous Salamander's lifeless body lay to the side; it had already died.
Sōsuke stood straight before the huge pit, silently watching it. The eyes beneath his glasses frame displayed neither happiness nor sadness, just a calm contemplation.
Is it for the sake of his comrades' revenge?
To you, that Salamander probably also held significant importance...
Even if I had to give up my own life to take away his life... this belief...
"Captain Aizen..."
At this moment, a person hesitated for a moment at Sōsuke's side before finally calling out softly.
Hearing this person's words, Sōsuke nodded slightly and said in a soft voice.
"Yes, it's time for us to leave this place."
Seeing his confirmation, the person took a closer look at the body that had been affected by the Kyōka Suigetsu explosion and the Salamander and realized that he had returned to his uninjured state. Aside from some tattered clothing, nothing else had changed.
Sōsuke looked at Jinnai and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His magnetic voice carried warmth.
"Jinnai, now that revenge is over, are you ready for a fresh start in the future?"
Hearing Sōsuke's question, Jinnai seemed not to have fully freed himself from his previous desolation. He pursed his lips slightly, his voice low.
"The future?"
"Even if that guy is dead... it seems that nothing has changed at all..."
"This feeling... it's really bad!"
"If I had known, I would have spared his life. Maybe continuously tormenting him could have brought me some amusement; it might have been a good choice."
Hearing his complaints, the other person's face turned slightly cold, thinking that his attitude towards Captain Aizen was too disrespectful and wanting to reprimand him.
But Sōsuke smiled, raised his hand gently to stop the person.
"Currently, the highest ruler in this land is dead. If no one takes control, the powerful neighboring nations will likely devour it all."
Sōsuke spoke softly and, looking at Jinnai for a moment, continued.
"If this situation arises, experiences like yours will continue to happen among the villagers in this land, and I wouldn't be surprised."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Jinnai seemed to be taken aback for a moment, as if he realized something. His face suddenly darkened, and he no longer appeared as lighthearted as before.
Seeing the change in his expression, Sōsuke smiled slightly and spoke softly.
"Indeed, I didn't misjudge you. You still have a sense of belonging to this land."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Jinnai's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a faint mischievous smile, as if thinking of the pure land from his childhood dreams and of the parents who had passed away, gazing at him from the sky...
"Yes..."
"If it's... as Captain Aizen says... a new world..."
Jinnai's face showed a mixture of hope and complexity.
"Clap!"
Sōsuke slowly walked towards him, lightly patted him on the shoulder, and, passing by him, continued to move forward.
As Jinnai hesitated, not understanding what this meant, a magnetic voice slowly came.
"Follow along. From now on, you will be in charge of this land, and a new world will sprout and blossom from this land..."
Hearing this, Jinnai was slightly stunned and turned around to look at Sōsuke. Seeing Sōsuke's mild smile, he responded in a deep voice.
"Yes... If it's for... Captain Aizen's new world... I'm willing to try and give everything..."
Jinnai's face showed a mix of hope and complexity, as if he had thought of the pure land from his childhood dreams and his parents, who had passed away but were now smiling down at him from the sky...
"Yes..."
"If that's what Captain Aizen is saying... for a new world..."
Jinnai expressed a blend of hope and complexity.
"Clap!"
Sōsuke moved towards Jinnai and gently patted him on the shoulder before walking past him. As Jinnai stood in bewilderment, not quite understanding, Sōsuke's resonant voice slowly reached him.
"Come with me. It's time for you to take the lead, and a new world will begin to take root and flourish from this land..."
Hearing this, Jinnai was taken aback, and he turned to look at Sōsuke. Witnessing Sōsuke's gentle smile, Jinnai responded in a deep voice.
"Yes... If it's for Captain Aizen's new world... I'm willing to try my best and give it my all..."
Pleased with his words, Sōsuke moved on. Following behind Sōsuke, the other person hesitated for a moment, his tone somewhat stern.
"Aren't you coming?"
"Captain Aizen... now that you've won him over... you should cherish this opportunity..."
Hearing the words of the other person, Jinnai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
"Understood"
Upon hearing his address, Saki showed a brief moment of surprise in his expression, then turned around to face the speaker deeply, a faint smile on his otherwise icy demeanor.
Could this be... a true comrade with aligned aspirations...
Let's watch and see...
As for Jinnai, standing behind them, he raised his head slightly to gaze at the gradually clearing sky through the dispersing clouds. His expression was complex.
Father... mother...
If you can see this... just see how I will make the people of this land live happily...
I will strive to show the true face of the Land of Rain...
Then, he slowly set off, following the footsteps of Sosuke and Saki.
The three figures soon disappeared from this place.
Leaving behind only a scene of devastation and bodies untouched by any further inquiry...
.....
In another part of the Land of Rain, on a chaotic battlefield.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"...
Several sonic booms suddenly resounded through the dense forest!
Several figures that had been running disappeared in an instant as a kunai came whizzing toward them!
"Ah!" "Ah!"...
Then, from the shadows of the trees, wretched screams could be heard.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"...
Blood splattered on the lush leaves, but a few figures suddenly reappeared on the scene. Two of them, young men with red eyes and Konoha forehead protectors, were particularly eye-catching.
"Keep pursuing!"
"The Rain Ninja squad has disbanded, let's finish them off in one go!"
"You and I will ambush the Sand Ninja squad again!"
The young man with crimson eyes, his expression cold, ordered.
Hearing his words, the nearby ninjas obediently complied and vanished in an instant!
Leaving only him and another person, Hidan, behind. Suddenly, they dashed to a concealed spot within the dense forest, hiding themselves.
