Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the rock fist. Crack, crack—bang!

In Ōnoki of the Two Scales's shocked eyes, the rock fist on his arm shattered instantly!

Subconsciously, Ōnoki of the Two Scales instantly put some distance between them!

"Why are you pulling away?"

Sōsuke Aizen said indifferently, "If you truly want to hit me, you should be as close as possible."

"Or are you afraid?"

Sōsuke Aizen's highly oppressive voice, combined with his increasingly ruthless and cold gaze, caused cold sweat to stream down Ōnoki of the Two Scales's forehead.

"If that is the case, then it is all for nothing."

Sōsuke Aizen's Soul Reaper Robes fluttered noisily in the wind.

His cold voice continued to ring out.

"Keeping your distance only has meaning in a battle between evenly matched opponents."

"The distance between you and me is meaningless."

Ōnoki of the Two Scales's pupils shrank violently!

Before he could react, a palm gently pressed against his chest.

Sōsuke Aizen's voice rang out clearly in his ear.

"Look, I can touch your heart so easily."

Ōnoki of the Two Scales's body suddenly stiffened, and a terrifying sense of suffocation enveloped him.

Since when?!

While he was shocked by Sōsuke Aizen's speed, Sōsuke Aizen's ruthless voice rang out again.

"Hadō #63: Raikōhō."

Boom!! A golden beam of lightning pierced through Ōnoki of the Two Scales's chest!

A circular hole instantly formed in Ōnoki of the Two Scales's upper body!

An endless stream of blood immediately sprayed into mid-air!

Ōnoki of the Two Scales only felt a pain in his body, and his whole being suddenly became light and airy.

Streams of blood drifted past his eyes. This is... whose blood?

"Father!!" Kitsuchi, in the distance, saw Ōnoki of the Two Scales's condition and was immediately overcome with grief!

Hearing his son's voice, Ōnoki of the Two Scales finally realized. So, it was his own blood... Was he going to die?

Ōnoki of the Two Scales's vision grew increasingly blurry, like a candle in the wind, as he fell from mid-air, but his eyes were fixed firmly on Sōsuke Aizen. It seemed he wanted to deeply imprint him into his memory!

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

"How is this possible? Lord Tsuchikage actually...!"

"Damn it!!"

Kitsuchi glared with rage and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to rush in front of Sōsuke Aizen... "I will kill you!!"

Kitsuchi's arm instantly turned to rock, smashing fiercely toward Sōsuke Aizen's face!

Sōsuke Aizen said calmly, "I advise you not to speak such wild words."

Splat—Kitsuchi's eyes widened violently! A diagonal slash wound on his chest instantly gushed blood!!

And Sōsuke Aizen's figure had appeared behind Kitsuchi before anyone knew it. Bang!!

Kitsuchi fell straight to the ground, his eyes still filled with hatred for Sōsuke Aizen.

"Lord Kitsuchi!!"

"How could this be!!"

The eyes of the Hidden Stone Village Ninjas in the Allied Shinobi Forces were instantly filled with despair.

In such a short time, the Third Tsuchikage and Lord Kitsuchi had fallen one after another!

A sorrowful mood instantly shrouded them, and they could only stare blankly at Sōsuke Aizen. Fear welled up from within!

"Ōnoki of the Two Scales..." Ōnoki of the Two Scales's death was a significant blow to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

It was not just because Ōnoki of the Two Scales was powerful, but also because of his status as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The Supreme Commander had been decapitated by the enemy, and the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces plummeted instantly.

And it wasn't just Ōnoki of the Two Scales. Even the Third Hokage of Konoha had been killed in one strike by Sōsuke Aizen.

Moreover, they could see it clearly. Since Sōsuke Aizen appeared on the battlefield, even the former God of Shinobi had been somewhat helpless.

How on earth could they win against such a powerful enemy!!

Senju Hashirama stared at Ōnoki of the Two Scales's corpse and fell into silence. It was too fast! Everything happened too fast!

And... why? Why could Sōsuke Aizen so easily kill the Kage who already stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World? It was simply like... like it was as easy as stepping on an ant!

"This is troublesome..." Senju Hashirama muttered.

This sentence instantly caused surprise among the others.

Senju Tobirama's eyes were complex; this was the first time he had heard the word "troublesome" from his older brother's mouth. This meant that Sōsuke Aizen had already made his older brother feel quite troubled...

"Hmph, I never thought there would come a day when I would hear those words from you, Senju Hashirama."

The Nine-Tails's voice suddenly came from Uzumaki Mito's body.

Senju Hashirama smiled candidly and said, "Sōsuke Aizen is indeed powerful."

After a brief silence, Senju Hashirama pointed out the current predicament directly. "If we cannot determine where his true body is, any of my attacks will have no effect."

That was correct. The most troublesome thing for Senju Hashirama was Sōsuke Aizen's elusive figure.

As his voice fell, the others also fell silent. In fact, they all knew that Sōsuke Aizen must have used some kind of genjutsu. But knowing it was one thing, and being able to dispel it was another matter entirely...
