-------------------------------------------------------------
At this moment, Shino had no time to think further.
Since he had confirmed that Aizen's intentions hadn't changed, he could only proceed according to Aizen's previous instructions.
Thinking this, his crimson eyes flickered slightly, a cold glint passing through them as he thought to himself.
If you die, don't blame me!
This move... was specially prepared for you, Aizen!
"Boom!"
In the next moment, Shino, trapped within the enormous tornadoes, stomped heavily on the ground!
As the tornadoes crisscrossed, Shino, enduring the immense tearing force, broke through the gaps between them.
Clad in the black lightning-cloaked Susanoo, he charged toward Aizen with terrifying momentum.
Aizen, who had been in the midst of performing a jutsu, noticed this but remained unfazed. A faint smile still lingered on his lips as he casually glanced at Shino.
Meanwhile, Shino, having broken free from the tornadoes' encirclement and now extremely close to Aizen, leaped into the air, his expression tense.
His crimson eyes narrowed slightly, and without even adjusting his posture, his right eye's pupil locked onto Aizen, who stood upright.
Within his Mangekyō Sharingan, three black blades began to spin rapidly.
"Hum—"
In the next moment, fresh blood suddenly streamed from his crimson right eye. At the same time, Aizen, who had been standing calmly, showed a slight change in expression.
"What is this?!"
"Hum—"
Suddenly, black flames erupted on Aizen's body, their ominous aura instilling deep fear.
"Amaterasu!"
With Shino's furious shout, he charged toward Aizen from mid-air, still enveloped in the Susanoo.
Aizen, however, lowered his gaze, his expression impassive. He quickly ceased his hand seals and slashed forward with his sword. His uniform was cleanly cut, revealing his perfectly toned, muscular upper body.
"Rip—"
His clothing fell to the ground, the black flames continuing to burn, their ominous aura instantly enveloping the dark ground as the flames persisted.
Bare-chested, Aizen glanced at this scene indifferently.
Meanwhile, outside the rocky mountain.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
The sound of rapid movement echoed across the devastated land. Under the destruction of the nine tornadoes, the nearby forest had been reduced to nothing.
All the ninjas, taking advantage of the deep night, fled across the ravaged ground, which looked as if it had been plowed countless times.
Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks, their faces pale as they hurriedly turned to look back.
When they saw the scene unfolding atop the towering rocky mountain, their pupils contracted in shock.
"What is this?!"
"The tornadoes... are starting to dissipate..."
On the dark rocky mountain, the massive tornadoes that had connected the sky and earth were now slowly dissipating.
Although the entire mountain had been torn apart and left in ruins by the nine tornadoes, through the gradually fading winds, the massive Susanoo could be seen fighting fiercely at the mountain's peak.
The ninjas, avoiding the dissipating tornadoes, took cover in hidden spots, nervously watching the battle at the mountain's summit.
Surrounded by rock ninjas, the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, his face slightly pale, stared sharply at the battle high above and muttered hoarsely, "The Uchiha clan again..."
On the Konoha side, the previously disheartened and demoralized Uchiha clansmen now looked up excitedly, chattering animatedly.
"Great, Shino-sama is still alive!"
"Was it Shino-sama's fight that forced Aizen to stop his jutsu?!"
The group buzzed with excitement, each voicing their thoughts. At the forefront, Fugaku Uchiha watched the scene above with deep concern, thinking to himself.
You must come back, Shino...
"Clang!"
Aizen casually swung his sword, forcing the massive Susanoo back once more.
"Rip—"
His figure swiftly retreated, dragging across the ground. The rocks beneath Shino's feet shattered like fragile glass, sending up clouds of dust.
"Huff— Huff—"
Enveloped in the Susanoo, Shino bent slightly, breathing heavily, his crimson eyes locked on Aizen in the distance.
Opposite him, Aizen stood bare-chested, his perfectly defined muscles on full display.
He held Kyōka Suigetsu lightly in his right hand, his face devoid of any expression. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze coldly glancing at Shino.
Shino's expression was grave, but inwardly, he thought:
He can't break through my Susanoo...
As expected, the Susanoo is the ultimate defense. As long as it exists... I won't face any fatal threats.
Thinking this, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Just as he prepared to attack again, Aizen spoke.
"Shino, show me your strongest move."
A simple, calm statement, yet it instantly placed immense pressure on Shino.
His eyelid twitched slightly as he thought to himself.
This guy... is he getting impatient?
At that moment.
"Whoosh—"
A cool night breeze swept across the battlefield, carrying an indescribable desolation.
The nine tornadoes had begun to dissipate the moment Aizen's jutsu was interrupted. In mere moments, the tornadoes vanished completely, revealing the devastated battlefield.
By now, most of the rocky mountain had been destroyed, leaving only the area where Aizen and Shino stood still intact.
Aizen and Shino stood on opposite sides of the now-ruined mountain.
A gentle breeze stirred, causing Aizen's hair to sway slightly. Bare-chested, he slowly sheathed Kyōka Suigetsu, freeing both hands.
Seeing this, Shino's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise.
Is he planning to use a jutsu against me?
Even Shino knew little about Aizen's true strength. Facing Aizen, who now seemed ready to use a jutsu, he couldn't predict what would happen.
But remembering Aizen's instructions, he knew what he had to do.
He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his crimson eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"Boom!"
Shino bent his legs slightly, then shot forward like an arrow, charging toward Aizen.
Aizen, still bare-chested, seemed completely unfazed. His hands moved rapidly, forming intricate hand seals.
As the complex seals shifted between his fingers, Shino continued to close the distance.
"Swish!" "Swish!"
On the remnants of the ruined mountain, the massive figure of the Susanoo kicked up clouds of dust as it charged forward.
