Chapter 718

Listening to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's words, the Slug Sage also felt some hesitation, after all, she also knew that if there truly existed people stronger than them, the people of the Shinobi World would absolutely be unable to oppose them.

"Since that is the case, it is not that I cannot help you, but the one you must most urgently seek aid from is Hagoromo; otherwise, with our combat strength, there is no way we can assist you."

Looking at the crowd, the Slug Sage's voice was also extremely serious; although she had long been in slumber, the Shinobi World was, after all, her true home, and she could not allow an outsider to destroy her home.

Although, based on Tōshirō Hitsugaya's words, the Slug Sage could judge that at least the Shinigami represented by Tōshirō Hitsugaya and the people of Ishgar harbored no malice.

But this did not mean the Slug Sage would trust them, and judging from the Shinigamis' energy, the power possessed by the Shinigami was a kind capable of directly injuring the soul.

This kind of power was extremely terrifying, and she would not allow the Shinigami to casually harm the people of the Shinobi World.

Looking at the Slug Sage, Tōshirō Hitsugaya also nodded; he understood the Slug Sage's meaning, but unless he dragged all the powerful existences of the Shinobi World into this battle, he would not let the matter rest.

"We have long formulated a plan to go to the Pure Land, and I believe you can also see that we Shinigami are themselves spiritual bodies, only able to manifest before you with the aid of Gigai."

"Therefore, these matters must be handled by us Shinigami, but we have also requested the aid of the Five Great Ninja Villages, asking them to each assign one person to help us."

"But if we have your help, perhaps our chances of winning will be greater; although we understand Aizen, we do not know if he has undergone further evolution."

"Whether the Hōgyoku on Aizen's body will undergo changes after arriving in another world is also something we do not know, so this is still very important to us."

Listening to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's explanation, the Slug Sage fell into deep thought; if it were merely a battle within this world, then for them, there would be no need to get involved at all.

Even if the Ōtsutsuki Clan from the universe came, it would not have any huge impact on their Summoning Realm.

But now it was different; what had come to the Shinobi World was Aizen, a destroyer from another world, which also made the Slug Sage consider whether to let herself and the others join this battle.

After a while, the Slug Sage finally spoke.

"How about this: I myself will definitely help you, after all, little Tsunade is still here, and to me, little Tsunade is still very important."

"But I do not know about the other two; Gamamaru is mysterious every day, and as for that fellow Snake Sage, I understand even less what he wants to do."

Actually, for the Slug Sage, this was also the best method.

Because she could not judge anything based solely on Tōshirō Hitsugaya's one-sided words, so for her, participating in the battle out of concern for Tsunade was no problem, but as for Snake Sage and Toad Sage Gamamaru, she absolutely could not control them; she could only tell them this information, and after that, how they acted should be a conclusion already formed in their hearts.

Listening to the Slug Sage's words, Tōshirō Hitsugaya nodded with satisfaction; although having only the Slug Sage's help was still very meager assistance for them, in reality, for Tōshirō Hitsugaya, this was enough.

Even if he wanted the other Sages' help, the other Sages might not necessarily pay him heed; as long as he dragged in enough people, that would be sufficient.

However, before that, he needed the Slug Sage to do one last thing for him, otherwise, it would still be somewhat detrimental to future plans.

"In that case, that is enough, but could the Slug Sage provide us with some kind of soul-form token? This way, our claims would be more convincing, and it would be more likely to secure the aid of the Sage of Six Paths."

Listening to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's words, the Slug Sage also nodded; for her, this question was not a big problem, and she was not unaware of Hamura Ōtsutsuki's personality; without a token from the three of them, the Great Sages, requesting his appearance would still be problematic.

"In that case, I will give you a token, but I also cannot guarantee that fellow Hagoromo will definitely come to help you; consider it just a small help from me."

Speaking, a wisp of glowing substance emerged from the Slug Sage's body and drifted into Tōshirō Hitsugaya's hand.

"This is our token; if possible, you must still invite him out, otherwise, we will not have even a sliver of a chance of victory."

Listening to the Slug Sage's words, Tōshirō Hitsugaya also nodded; for him, this was enough.
