-------------------------------------------------------------

As Aizen's whisper slowly fell, on the battlefield, Kakuzu, who was coldly staring at Nawaki, began to form hand signs. At the same time, the several monstrous creatures by his side seemed to open their gaping maws.

In front of them, various types of chakra began to gather.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"...

Almost instantaneously, Kakuzu completed the hand signs. Simultaneously, the thread-bound monsters by his side also displayed their terrifying abilities. Terrifying chakra rippled in front of them, gradually forming into their respective ninjutsu.

From Kakuzu himself, a surge of bright blue lightning crackled intensely, producing a fierce sound of electricity.

Gradually, the dazzling blue lightning transformed into several lightning spears!

They stood before Kakuzu, emanating a fearsome aura.

At Kakuzu's side, the masked black thread monsters also formed terrifying ninjutsu. One monster, in front of its mask, gathered a scorching red orb of light appearing at the slit of the mask's mouth. The intense heat of the flames was palpable even from a great distance.

Another monster was surrounded by sharp blades of wind, constantly humming in the air, producing sharp and piercing rays that were painful even to look at.

On the left, two of the monsters displayed unique attributes. One monster's body, wrapped in black threads, had a dark metallic luster and seemed to be gathering strength. Next to it, another monster was pulsating with bubbles of water.

In its mask's mouth, a deep blue orb of water gathered, spinning continuously, showing terrifying fluctuations.

In an instant!

Kakuzu's eyes turned cold, and he rasped, "Kid, just die peacefully, don't worry, I'll avoid your precious heart."

As his deep voice fell, the lightning spears around him suddenly shot out, streaking through the air with dazzling blue trails.

"Raiton: Gen'ei!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"...

As the lightning spears shot out, the monsters also launched their terrifying ninjutsu.

"Katon: Kazu!"

"Fūton: Shin. Dankū!"

"Suiton: Tetsusuihō!"

In Nawaki's pale face, in just the blink of an eye, a sea of flames poured down on him like a vast ocean.

The sea of flames brought immense despair!

But that wasn't all; through the blazing inferno, massive blades of wind carrying immense force sliced through. The once invisible wind blades instantly turned into enormous blades of fire, shooting straight at Nawaki!

On another side, a terrifying deep blue water orb also shot towards Nawaki. In mid-air, the water orb shed light blue liquid that slowly crystallized into dazzling blue crystals.

Facing all this, Nawaki felt somewhat powerless to resist, his morale instantly dampened.

He took a slight step back, but then he suddenly realized something!

'Am I feeling fear?'

'How ridiculous!'

'As the grandson of the First Hokage, how can I fear this creature who was merely a defeated underling of my grandfather?'

With this thought, Nawaki's eyes suddenly filled with determination. He stepped forward again, directly facing the terrifying onslaught of ninjutsu. He clapped his hands together and shouted,

"Mokuton: Shichūkaishō!"

As he yelled, his face went pale in an instant, but the ground began to tremble again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"...

Terrifying tree trunks like monstrous serpents burst from the ground!

The dark trunks, even bearing a few deep green leaves, surged like ferocious beasts towards the sea of fire and Kakuzu behind it!

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

The massive trunks collided with the sea of red flames!

The intense heat instantly set the thick trunks ablaze.

However!

Even so, the terrifying trunks did not stop their advance; like a giant beast burning in a sea of fire, they relentlessly charged at Kakuzu!

"Crack!" "Boom!" "Hiss!"...

The flames burned on the trunks, occasionally making a crackling sound.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

Several enormous blades of fire easily penetrated the burning trunks, shooting straight at Nawaki!

Simultaneously, on another side, a water orb also shot towards Nawaki!

Kakuzu watched this unfold, his green eyes emitting a cold chill, silent.

And Nawaki, his face pale, unable to sustain the Deep Forest Emergence any longer, suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

Seeing this, Kakuzu's eyes twinkled with a fierce light.

Your heart, I'll take it!

Just as Nawaki, pale-faced, watched the sharp fire blades and the powerful water orb coming towards him,

Suddenly!

With a loud noise, the monster wearing the mocking mask, which had been close to Nawaki, was suddenly shot back like a cannonball.

Like a black meteor streaking across the ground, it crashed into the deep forest, hitting countless trees.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Dust and debris flew up.

Leaving a straight path in the dense forest, littered with broken stones and wood.

Nawaki dumbly watched this unfold, his gaze slowly moving forward.

Beside him, Aizen stood with a smile, straightening up, casually withdrawing his casually swung right hand back into his pocket.

"Oh, I almost forgot, it's not over yet."

In Nawaki's slightly stunned eyes, seemingly just remembering something, Aizen glanced behind him and chuckled softly.

His gaze slightly lowered, he said softly,

"Bakudō #81. Dankū."

As his words fell, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in the air behind him!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Several giant blades of fire struck it, and not even a ripple splashed up!

Instead, they instantly turned into dissolving fireworks, the intense fire briefly illuminating the sky, looking beautiful behind the transparent barrier.

And the formidable water orb that hit the barrier merely caused a slight ripple.

As the water orb's spinning stopped, it too slowly transformed into a light blue liquid, hitting the ground and creating a terrifying deep pit!

Seeing this, Nawaki felt somewhat chagrined.

From afar, Kakuzu's face was a bit stiff, even a bead of cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

He stared intently at Aizen, his heart shocked.

What kind of power does this man possess!?

Kakuzu didn't care about Kakuzu's thoughts; he was just smiling lightly, looking at Kakuzu, and said softly,

"Kakuzu, I need your submission as the price... for sparing your life."

Hearing Aizen's words, Kakuzu's expression shifted slightly, but he continued to stare intently at Aizen, saying gruffly,

"'Child of Konoha' Sōsuke, I don't think your joke is very funny."

To this, Aizen just slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and chuckled,

"Sōsuke? It seems it's been a long time since anyone has called me that."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued,

"But... that name is in the past now, I am now known as Aizen Sōsuke..."

He glanced at Kakuzu and chuckled,

"Have you decided on your answer, Kakuzu?"

Aizen's hands were casually in his pockets, as if he were chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time, looking very relaxed.

But Kakuzu was on high alert, his actions wary.

His green eyes glanced at the black monster that was slowly rising from the rubble, his gaze flickering, and he said gravely,

"Let's talk about that after you defeat me."

Hearing his words, Aizen chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling, and said softly,

"Is that so..."

He then reached to his waist and slowly drew out Kyōka Suigetsu, positioning it vertically in front of him, and said softly,

"If you choose so... then watch my movements closely."

Seeing Aizen's actions, Kakuzu was slightly startled, then watched him warily.

Aizen noticed his actions, his lips curling up slightly, a glint of amusement in his eyes, and he said softly,

"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu..."
