32-Back

(AN: I am sure some of you Will think that his abilities, while he's in his soul form, are too op or something like that. Well, I am here to tell you it's the opposite.

If you haven't noticed already most of those abilities are geared towards his survival and he can't affect the real world in any way at all (for now) unless he takes over a body, plus he can't take over the body of a strong individual if you're wondering anyhow enjoy the chapter)

Back on the ground where the battle was currently raging, something suddenly happened that caught Aizen attention it caught everyone's attention.

At a speed that is almost incomprehensible even to the strongest ninja in there a shadow zipped past the battlefield, and that's the only thing people saw causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

Not even a second later the heads of the people who were fighting against the Sōsuke clan and who were closest to where the shadow passed went flying with blood shooting out like a fountain.

As for the people who were further back they fell into the ground one by one like puppets with their strings cut with a kunai going through either their eye sockets, throats or hearts.

Even the strongest of the enemies shinobi who were fighting against Yuki had their heads separated from their bodies.

"WHAT!.."

"THIS IS…"

Exclamations of surprise rose from all around.

All the people who were left standing, which were all sōsuke clan members, were shocked.

They didn't know what had just happened, but judging from the situation, whatever that shadow was, it was an ally, even then they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

The shadow didn't stop as it killed all their enemies but continued dashing forward and before long it disappeared from everyone's sight.

There was only one person who clearly saw what just happened and that was Aizen himself, and even then it was only thanks to his increased perception in his soul form otherwise he would have had the same reaction as the people below.

'Gojo!?, how is this even possible?' thought Aizen shocked.

He remembered that guy, to be more accurate he only had two memories of him one when he was younger and saw him with his parents and the other one wasn't too long ago just before he died, but no matter which one it was, Gojo seemed nothing more than an above average ninja at best.

But what he saw just now, that level of speed and power, 'I am afraid only people like hashirama and Madara could compete with that.' he thought.

Previously he wanted to go back to his body before it was destroyed as soon as possible and not waste any more time but seeing what just happened he changed his plans.

Immediately he dashed after gojo following him from the sky, of course, he was being careful to not go too fast.

Gojo kept on running and didn't stop until he reached the top of a mountain with aizen right on his trail.

Gojo stood there on top of the mountain staring at the horizon with a nonchalant look on his face as if he just killed a bunch of ants, Aizen was floating there right beside him but he didn't seem to notice anything as he muttered to himself.

"I didn't know which one of them killed the kid so I killed them all, this way but I am pretty sure I managed to avenge him, sigh such a shame." He muttered to himself.

Hearing him aizen couldn't help but be startled, 'The kid?, is he referring to me?.' he thought, but he didn't understand why Gojo would take revenge for him, in fact, he didn't understand anything about the guy in front of him.

At first, he thought he was just a normal shinobi but the more he learned about him the more he saw that he was shrouded with mysteries, in fact, If he hadn't seen what he had just seen he would have still thought that he was just a normal shinobi.

Seeing him standing there at the mountaintop gazing at the horizon, Aizen didn't know whether to feel happy or wary.

Happy because such a strong person is part of their clan and he is supporting them from the shadows and they are not as helpless as he thought they were.

And although he wasn't afraid of death anymore he was still relieved that he'll likely have more space for his growth and development.

And wary because first why would a guy he met only two times want to take revenge for him? They weren't that close and he didn't have anything to gain from it, 'Does he have a thing for kids?.' thought Aizen with a shiver running through his soul, 'No It's most likely that he owe my parents a favor and that's why.'

And also why was he hiding his true strength, he thought of a lot of reasons why he might be hiding it, to not draw attention to the clan, for his own safety, he had a hidden motive….Etc .

But no matter what he couldn't be sure of any of them so he could only sigh for now and return to what he was doing before gojo appeared.

Teleporting back to the place he died at he found that his clansmen there had already left, probably to report what had just happened.

Not giving it any more thought he started focusing all of his attention and willpower on going back in time, and that's what he did as the world around him started going backwards.

From his clansmen returning, to gojo rushing backwards and the decapitated heads attaching back to their bodies to finally his exploded body going back to normal, everything played before him scene by scene until he reached the point that he wanted, where the guy disappeared and appeared with a kunai close to his throat and where he activated the body flicker jutsu.

Immediately he dived down and merged into his body, he was expecting his old self's soul to be here and that they'll have to merge together or something like that, but surprisingly none of that happened.

Just after he dived into his body his vision changed and it was reduced back from the 360° it was at previously and he also felt his thinking and thought processing speed slow down almost to a crawl, as if some lock was placed upon him.

Of course, all of that was the norm for everyone else, in fact, it was even above average for Aizen, but, due to the time Aizen spent as a soul form he got used to all of its perks.

Looking ahead of him he could see the world moving in slow motion, the enemy that killed him before holding a kunai and almost penetrating his throat.

Immediately his eyes turned frosty as the air around him changed, he was given a second chance and he wasn't about to waste it, this time he was going to do it right.
