As he observed Nanli's sudden movements, Aizen's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he softly chuckled.
"Your judgment is quite decisive. Do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing Aizen's words, Saki and Sasori refrained from killing the kneeling Nanli, though their expressions remained unfriendly, coldly staring at him.
Kneeling on the ground, Nanli could feel the subtle yet palpable murderous intent from the two pairs of eyes fixed on him, causing his breath to become cautious and his actions to become exceptionally respectful.
Hearing Aizen's voice, he dared not move recklessly. He carefully raised his head, revealing traces of blood on his forehead, but he didn't dare to meet Aizen's gaze directly, keeping his eyes lowered as he respectfully responded.
"I once had the honor of seeing you while serving Lord Tsuchikage, and I am well aware of your current relationship with Iwagakure. I sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding."
After speaking, he glanced at Aizen and continued respectfully.
"I hope... you can forgive their reckless behavior. We were previously pursuing some Konoha ninjas who had obtained crucial information, which left us no choice but to treat the situation with utmost caution."
Hearing his words, Aizen's lips curled slightly, and he chuckled softly.
"Important information? I've heard that the news of my collaboration with Iwagakure may have leaked. Is that true?"
Nanli's face darkened at Aizen's words, unsure how to respond.
At that moment, the Iwagakure shinobi, following Nanli's orders, began to lower their weapons, carefully watching the scene below.
Although they didn't know who the man being treated with such respect by Nanli was, it was clear he was someone of great significance.
The Iwagakure shinobi couldn't help but wonder.
Aizen paid no mind to the change in the Iwagakure shinobi's attitude. He simply gazed calmly at Nanli, whose forehead was now covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, Nanli's heart was filled with fear. After all, this man's power was on par with that of the Tsuchikage, and it was likely the Tsuchikage himself who negotiated the cooperation with him.
Now that this man knew his whereabouts had been discovered by Konoha, no one could predict what he might do in his rage.
Thump, thump, thump...
Nanli's eyes widened as he could hear his own heartbeat clearly, his mind going blank.
What should I do... What should I do... Even if everyone here fought against this guy, it would be meaningless...
Nanli's eyes widened as he panicked internally.
Aizen looked at him calmly, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips as he spoke softly.
"Forget it; these things are insignificant."
As he said this, a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes, and he continued speaking softly.
"I'd like to ask, among you... who gave the order to pursue the Konoha ninjas?"
At this moment, Aizen had a gentle smile on his lips, his voice magnetic, combined with his sharp and handsome face, making him seem like a prince caring for his subjects.
Hearing Aizen's words, Nanli was slightly stunned, then breathed a small sigh of relief and responded respectfully.
"Lord Aizen, it was I who gave the order. After all, they had already been wounded by Lord Tsuchikage, and if we continued pursuing them, we could prevent them from delivering your information back to Konoha!"
As he spoke, Nanli sighed slightly, showing a hint of regret on his face, and said softly.
"However, those Konoha ninjas were indeed formidable. Even after being injured by Lord Tsuchikage for stealing information, they still managed to escape from Iwagakure, which even caused Lord Tsuchikage to become somewhat enraged..."
Aizen quietly listened to him, the smile on his lips growing more pronounced.
He glanced at Nanli with a calm expression, his gaze carrying an indescribable indifference.
Nanli, who had been speaking confidently, suddenly looked up and met Aizen's eyes. In an instant, he felt as though he had fallen into a cold, unforgiving abyss, and the expression on his face froze.
He recognized that look— it was the same indifferent gaze he would use when he mercilessly took someone's life...
"You really went through a lot of trouble to chase down those severely injured individuals..."
"If I hadn't arrived here, your plan might have succeeded. What a pity..."
Aizen smiled faintly as he looked at Nanli and said in a cold voice.
"If you had succeeded, I might have been quite annoyed. After all, finding opponents with such potential isn't easy."
"I've been looking forward to their performance, so I won't allow them to die at anyone's hands before then."
"So, you'll have to pay a price for interrupting my plans. After all, you've disrupted my fun."
As Aizen's words fell, he slowly raised a finger and gently pointed at the group of Iwagakure shinobi standing on the high ground.
Seeing this, Nanli's face turned ashen, and the Iwagakure shinobi also seemed to sense something was wrong, whispering to each other in confusion.
"What's that guy doing!?"
"Is he going to attack us? No... he wouldn't... isn't he someone even Lord Nanli respects?"
"Look... why does Lord Nanli look so frightened!"
...
As the Iwagakure shinobi whispered among themselves, a faint sound suddenly echoed across the area, like a drop of clear water falling into a still lake.
The crisp sound washed over the scene, bringing a moment of peace.
But this was merely an illusion felt by everyone present.
At Aizen's fingertip, a green droplet, shimmering with a murky light and formed from an unknown substance, was trembling slightly.
The murky green made it impossible to discern its composition, but the space around it was rippling.
Aizen watched it with interest and murmured softly with a smile.
"This is a crystal ball created with the power of the Five-Tails. I wonder what kind of power it will display. As punishment for your actions, you shall be the testers of this power."
As Aizen murmured, he lightly tapped the green droplet with his finger.
In the next moment—
Whoosh!
The rotating green droplet shot toward the Iwagakure shinobi gathered on the rocky mountain.
Midway, it began to shake violently as if some terrifying, unstable power within the green liquid was about to explode.
Sure enough, just as the green droplet reached the Iwagakure shinobi—
Boom!
With a sound, it exploded.
The explosion's force wasn't particularly strong, with a noise and shockwave even less intense than an exploding tag.
However, the scene that followed left all the surviving witnesses gasping in horror.
Hiss... hiss...
A sinister, piercing sound continued to echo. Aizen watched the scene, his eyes calm, but a faint smile tugged at his lips.
His eyes gleamed as he softly smiled and murmured.
"I'll call this move... Boiling Amber."
That's all for today. Off to climb a mountain, yet again, Tai Shan this time. Nothing more to say, wish me luck on returning tomorrow.
