Kakuzu looked at Aizen in disbelief, his heart shaken by Aizen's words.
However, Aizen was unconcerned, his lips curled in a slight smile, his eyes twinkling with boundless confidence in the future.
After seeing the other Aizen's experiences in the Soul Society.
At this moment, he was very clear about what he was saying and doing.
Now more than ever, he was clear about his path.
The words Aizen left for him before he departed still lingered in his ears.
"Remember, I am you, you are me, in this realm... beneath your eyes must exist the highest position..."
Aizen was very interested in what the scenery looked like from the highest position in this world.
He would dig up the powers hidden in the dust of history, one by one.
To fully strengthen himself... until he returned to that region...
At that time.
"Swish!" "Swish!"
Saki and Nawaki also arrived at the scene.
Watching Aizen standing straight in place, with a light smile on his face assessing Kakuzu.
"Lord Aizen..."
Saki stepped forward, his pale eyes glancing at Kakuzu's complex face, and asked softly.
But Aizen lightly waved his hand, interrupting him.
His gaze slowly moved to the several black thread monsters standing around, and he said softly.
"Are you satisfied with your current self?"
"Have you never thought that 'this world should have a different appearance'?"
"Don't you want to ascend to a higher realm?"
As he said this, Aizen's eyes twinkled slightly, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, as he continued softly.
"If I'm not mistaken, these beings known as 'Earth Grudge Fear' have probably become the shackles that are limiting your progress."
"To have an empty and void life force without the matching power is also a sadness."
"Submit to me, and I can lend you a hand. If you agree, I will grant you greater power and a brand new world."
"Kakuzu, give me your answer."
Aizen's magnetic voice carried a seductive power, slowly reaching the ears of Kakuzu, who looked complex.
Feeling Aizen's strength, Kakuzu was continuously hesitant and struggling internally. Hearing his words, he slightly lifted his head.
His oily green eyes held a complex expression as he looked at Aizen and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Will that new era you speak of... really come?"
Hearing his question, Aizen's lips slightly curved up, and he said softly.
"Even if I say so, it cannot be taken as an established fact, can it..."
"If you want to know if all this will really happen, then follow my steps closely, and witness the arrival of that era with your own eyes."
Hearing Aizen's words, Kakuzu's oily green eyes trembled slightly. After a moment, his expression became somewhat complex.
"Then... I agree with you, Lord Aizen... I hope to witness the arrival of that era in my lifetime..."
"I will dedicate my strength to you..."
Saying this, his oily green eyes slightly cooled, and he continued.
"However... if everything you said is just a fabricated lie, then even if I have to stake everything, I will drag you down to hell with me."
Hearing his words, Saki's calm expression slightly cooled, his pale eyes instantly filled with cold light as they looked at Kakuzu, who was so disrespectful towards Aizen.
But Aizen did not mind, his face carried a leisurely smile, he waved his hand to stop Hidan from making a move.
He glanced at Kakuzu and chuckled.
"Well then, welcome to join, Kakuzu."
As Aizen's words fell, Kakuzu became one of the members planning to end the ninja era.
Bright sunlight streamed through the gaps in the forest.
Rays of light left mottled traces on the devastated battlefield.
"Whew—"
A warm breeze gently blew, rustling the remaining broken branches and leaves on the ground.
On the battlefield, Kakuzu had returned to his original form, his towering figure standing beside Aizen and the others.
Nawaki pursed his lips slightly, staying far away from him.
Not only because Kakuzu had once been defeated by his grandfather, but also because just a moment ago, he had witnessed Kakuzu's monstrous side.
Those several monsters made of dense black threads had turned into threads and then burrowed into Kakuzu's stomach.
Just the thought of being with someone who harbored such terrifying monsters inside made Hidan shudder uncontrollably.
Nawaki slowly turned his gaze towards Kakuzu, but quickly composed himself, pretending to be well-behaved.
And Aizen was not concerned about the conflicts and grievances between them.
His lips always carried a smile, and his deep gaze made it unclear what he was really thinking.
Only by his occasional gaze towards the clouds could one feel that his thoughts were always stationed far away from them.
Noticing this, Saki's pale eyes flashed with a hint of self-blame.
"My strength is still too weak... It's because of my incompetence that Lord Aizen has to consider all these issues..."
"I really am... such a failure..."
Kakuzu was very quiet among the group, always silent.
Having chosen to join the team meant he had chosen to believe in Aizen, chosen to... believe in the possibility, however slim, of a new era!
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in his oily green eyes.
This extraordinary lord... perhaps, as he said, he could indeed bring about that era that would change human history.
Feeling their gaze, Aizen glanced at them, his lips curling slightly, and he said softly.
"Have we resolved all the issues here?"
Saki and Nawaki both nodded, and Aizen looked at Kakuzu.
After hesitating for a while, Kakuzu, with a hoarse voice, said.
"I originally came here for a bounty on a rogue ninja from the Sand Village. Since I'm following you now, none of that matters anymore."
Hearing his words, Aizen smiled.
"Is that so? Then let's go."
With that, Aizen took a step forward, reaching out his pale hand towards the space in front of him.
As if directly probing into it, he lightly grasped and slightly pulled to the side.
The space rippled like a ripple, revealing a black crevice.
The deep and dark spatial cave appeared before everyone. Hidan and Kakuzu had no significant reaction.
But Kakuzu, who saw the black spatial cave up close, was deeply shocked, his eyes briefly glancing at the relaxed Aizen.
He couldn't help but inwardly exclaim.
This lord's strength is truly unfathomable...
In his mind, he couldn't help but compare him with the First Hokage from many years ago.
Perhaps... this lord might be even more superior...
The few of them slowly stepped into the dark spatial cave, and the ripples slowly closed.
Their figures thus disappeared from here, leaving behind the aftermath of the battle on the devastated battlefield, with mottled beams of light and a warm spring breeze.
