Under Aizen's gaze, although Barragan's expression was extremely unpleasant, he still stopped his actions.
"Hmph!"
He snorted, turning his head away, seemingly unwilling to see Nawaki, who had offended him, escape unscathed.
However, faced with Aizen, he had no choice but to accept the situation reluctantly.
Aizen cast him a brief glance but said nothing more.
"Swoosh!"
At that moment, the other members of Las Noches hurriedly arrived at the scene. They approached and gently supported Nawaki, who had already lost consciousness.
Nagato and the others quickly gathered around Nawaki, checking his injuries.
Fortunately, Nawaki was only exhausted from using power beyond his limits and was otherwise unharmed.
Aizen glanced at everyone present and softly said, "Let's end this matter here. I believe you've all learned something from this battle."
"However, what I must say is that from now on, no private duels are allowed within Las Noches. Our goal is very clear: to establish a new order and change this world."
"So, starting today, I don't want to see any more conflicts among the members of Las Noches."
Aizen's calm words fell into the ears of everyone present, causing them all to tense up slightly as they nodded in agreement.
Aizen briefly looked at Barragan, who did not react at all. Under Aizen's gaze, Barragan broke into a cold sweat but forced himself to remain calm.
"Hmph! I understand!"
Aizen paid no attention to his tone and turned to Nagato and the others, speaking softly, "When Nawaki wakes up, inform him that as punishment for his defeat, he is responsible for restoring this area."
After all, before the battle, Nawaki had promised Aizen that he would win. Therefore, the punishment Aizen gave him was practically nothing for someone with Nawaki's Wood Release ability, which could instantly alter the terrain.
Hearing Aizen's words, Yahiko, Nagato, and the others, who had been slightly worried, all relaxed and solemnly nodded, assuring Aizen that they would relay the punishment to Nawaki and supervise him in completing the task.
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew through.
"Whoosh—"
The dust on the battlefield scattered with the wind, slightly flattening the devastated ground. The clouds in the sky seemed even whiter under the gentle breeze.
The wind blew through the hair of those present, revealing their faces.
The members of Las Noches all had their eyes fixed on the tall figure at the forefront. Aizen's lips curved into a faint smile, as if the comfortable breeze brought him joy.
"The scenery of this world is so beautiful, yet it is controlled by a group of foolish and corrupt people. What a pity."
"Members of Las Noches, prepare to take over this world. We will be the pioneers of a new era."
Aizen's gaze held a slight smile as he looked toward the distant east, speaking softly.
Upon hearing his words, everyone present was slightly taken aback.
Although they didn't understand why Aizen suddenly said such things, they all solemnly nodded.
What Aizen said was the reason they had gathered here—everything was to bring a new order to this decaying world.
Meanwhile, within the vast borders of the Land of Earth, due to a secret intelligence dispute, the war between Iwagakure and Konoha officially began.
"Swish—"
On the desolate land, a bleak wind carrying countless small stones and sand blew by.
Several stone mountains, standing for an unknown number of years, looked like ancient giants. Despite the endless years of erosion by wind and sand, they were now riddled with holes.
However, compared to humans, as creations of nature, they still stood like miracles, silently remaining in this desolate, uninhabited land.
But the shadows swiftly passing by their feet at this moment broke the endless peace they had known.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
On the mottled rocks, agile figures flashed by in significant numbers.
Their reddish-brown ninja uniforms and forehead protectors unmistakably identified them as Iwa ninjas.
"Lord Nanli, the enemy has disappeared into these rocky mountains. We are not sure if they are still hiding here. Should we send a team to pursue them to the border?"
One Iwa ninja knelt respectfully on one knee, speaking in a deep voice to the burly figure in front of him.
Hearing this, the middle-aged Iwa ninja named Nanli in front of him flashed a sharp look in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "One of those three has already suffered serious injuries and has no strength to escape. All we need to do is completely trap them here!"
"The fact that Konoha managed to obtain that intelligence from Iwagakure has enraged Lord Tsuchikage beyond measure. That's why we've pursued them for days to this point!"
"So, we can't afford any mistakes. Make sure those three are killed here!"
Upon hearing Nanli's words, the Iwa ninja below nodded heavily and replied in a deep voice, "Understood. I will order the others to spread out and completely blockade this rocky mountain. No one will escape alive!"
Nanli nodded and then looked up at the towering, hole-riddled rocky mountain in front of him, his eyes flashing with determination.
Following the Iwa ninja's orders, about a hundred Iwa ninjas around the massive rocky mountain watched their surroundings with vigilant expressions, not missing a single detail.
Each of the Iwa ninjas present was highly skilled, their composed postures and sharp gazes unmistakably demonstrating their combat experience.
Meanwhile, inside the enormous rocky mountain, in a hidden and extremely narrow cave, sharp stalactites and jagged stone walls were everywhere.
In this dark and cramped environment, three exhausted figures were panting heavily.
"Tsunade, you should know how important this intelligence is to the village. This battle concerns that person... If we don't get this intelligence back to the village, the consequences are obvious."
At this moment, a tired and hoarse voice slowly echoed within the narrow cave.
With the faint light, one could see that the speaker's face was deathly pale, his expression exhausted, but his eyes glinted coldly.
Hearing his words, the equally exhausted Tsunade, who was standing in front of him, looked serious. She positioned herself protectively in front of him, her brown eyes fixed on him as she spoke sharply.
"We've already lost him. Do you want Jiraiya to leave us as well!?"
