Chapter 321

Uzumaki Mito: "..."

Senju Tobirama: "... Idiot Big Brother, pay some attention to the atmosphere! This person claiming to be from the Land of Whirlpools is clearly an enemy!"

"Huh?"

Senju Hashirama scratched his head, saying strangely, "But isn't the Land of Whirlpools an ally of our Konoha? Why would they be an enemy?"

Now it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's turn to fall silent.

Aizen Sosuke smiled slightly, "Everyone, please rest assured, I am indeed a Captain from the Land of Whirlpools, however..."

"That is already in the past."

Chapter 120: Aizen: What you see is merely what I want you to see

"That is already in the past."

As the words fell, Aizen Sosuke's eyes turned slightly cold, sweeping over everyone present.

Those swept by his gaze felt their breath catch, as if falling into an ice cave, as if seeing images of themselves being killed.

In the past?

What does that mean?

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others felt their hearts tighten, staring intently at Aizen Sosuke with grave expressions.

Just at this moment.

The other Espada immediately stopped their actions, appearing behind Aizen Sosuke in the blink of an eye, and bowed their heads in unison, saying, "Lord Aizen."

"!"

Seeing this, Two-Balance Ohnoki and the others widened their eyes in shock.

These Espada actually addressed him as Lord?!

Could it be that he...

"Are you the King of the Hollows?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was low and deep as he stared tightly at Aizen Sosuke.

"King?"

Aizen Sosuke said with a smile, "I am merely a humble leader of the Hollows."

Leader?

Could it be that this man before them is not yet the King of the Hollows?

Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes and asked, "In the past? Does that mean you are no longer a Captain of the Land of Whirlpools?"

Seeing that Aizen Sosuke seemed open to communication, Senju Tobirama seized the opportunity to gather intelligence.

Aizen Sosuke saw through his purpose at a glance, but it didn't matter; he maintained his smile and said, "Of course, I have defected from the Land of Whirlpools."

A Missing-nin?

Senju Tobirama chewed over the intelligence revealed by Aizen Sosuke in his mind, while also feeling somewhat astonished.

Just how powerful must a Captain within the Land of Whirlpools be?

A defected Fifth Division Captain from the Land of Whirlpools could actually become the leader of the Hollows?

And even be addressed as Lord by the Espada?

After all, these Espada all possess strength comparable to Tailed Beasts!

A person addressed as Lord by such existences, just how powerful must they be!

Moreover, beyond doubt, Aizen Sosuke had just made his entrance by blocking Senju Hashirama's True Thousand Hands with one hand and destroying the True Thousand Hands with the other.

This was already sufficient proof of his formidable strength.

At the very least...

He is a figure on the same level as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!

Even...

An absurd idea arose in Senju Tobirama's heart, but he quickly shook it out of his mind.

It shouldn't be possible, right...

He had never seen anyone more powerful than Big Brother before.

Leader of the Hollows?

Defected from the Land of Whirlpools?

Damn it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Two-Balance Ohnoki cursed wildly in their hearts.

So the mastermind behind the Third Great Ninja War is actually related to the Land of Whirlpools!

Regardless of whether Aizen Sosuke has defected from the Land of Whirlpools, the fact that he was once a Captain of the Land of Whirlpools cannot be changed!

A traitor from the Land of Whirlpools orchestrated the Third Great Ninja War, yet the Land of Whirlpools does nothing about it, letting the entire Ninja World clean up their mess?!

This is more unbearable than killing them!

"I see, so he is a traitor from the Land of Whirlpools!"

Senju Hashirama suddenly realized.

No wonder Tobirama said this is an enemy.

No wonder this person, who clearly claims to be from the Land of Whirlpools, saved his enemy.

"Since he is an enemy..."

Senju Hashirama's eyes narrowed, and he clapped his hands together, shouting, "Then there is no need for courtesy!"

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Thousand Hands!"

The Top of the Head Transformation Buddha was reinjected with Chakra by Senju Hashirama, and the thousand giant hands destroyed by Aizen Sosuke grew back once again, smashing towards Aizen Sosuke!

Aizen Sosuke maintained his smile and whispered softly, "Binding Spell 81: Danga!"

A transparent barrier appeared once again, intercepting the entire True Thousand Hands.

Only now did they finally clearly see the ability with which Aizen Sosuke blocked Senju Hashirama's Wood Release power.

"Danga?"

Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Aizen Sosuke's movements, unwilling to miss a single detail.

He seemed to be observing the principles behind Danga.

But very soon, he furrowed his brow.

"Not Chakra?"

In his perception, he had not felt any fluctuation of Chakra.

Senju Tobirama's eyes flashed slightly, "It seems that even as a human, the power he uses is exactly the same as that used by those Hollows."

He was unclear whether Aizen Sosuke obtained this special ability after joining the Hollows, or if he had already been using this kind of energy while in the Land of Whirlpools.

However, he knew clearly that the plan to secretly learn from him was likely ruined.

Because there was no ability within his own body that shared the same source as theirs.

Upon seeing Aizen Sosuke easily block his True Thousand Hands, Senju Hashirama felt no surprise in his heart.

Because he had already experienced it just moments ago.

However, his use of True Thousand Hands again was not without preparation.

He suddenly called out, "Mito!"

The tacit understanding between husband and wife allowed Uzumaki Mito to instantly understand Senju Hashirama's thoughts.

Fortunately, Ulquiorra had temporarily ceased their battle with her due to Aizen Sosuke's involvement, allowing her to free her hands.

She closed her eyes tightly, and the Nine-Tails Chakra on her body erupted instantly!

Golden-yellow Chakra enveloped the True Thousand Hands!

Armored Form: True Thousand Hands!

Boom!!

Empowered by the Nine-Tails Chakra, the strength of the True Thousand Hands ascended another level!

Crack—

Sounds of being unable to bear the burden came from the transparent barrier.

Aizen Sosuke suddenly smiled and slowly drew the Zanpakuto at his waist.

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama immediately fixed his gaze on Aizen Sosuke's movements, wanting to see what special qualities this so-called Zanpakuto actually possessed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsuchikage Ohnoki, and the others also felt their hearts tighten.

The abilities of every Captain's Zanpakuto had brought them endless 'surprises,' leaving them daring not to be the slightest bit careless.
