At the same time, as Aizen's hand seals neared completion, the thick, lingering dark clouds in the sky began to undergo a dramatic transformation.
"Boom—"
Under the deep night sky, bolts of lightning tore through the heavy clouds, and deafening thunderclaps echoed across the heavens.
In the next moment, Shino, enveloped in the Susanoo, instantly reached Aizen's position!
The Susanoo's massive hand gripped the Thunder God Hammer, its right arm wrapped in black lightning like a ferocious dragon. The hammer was raised high!
"Boom—"
With a fierce howl of wind, the Thunder God Hammer was swung down from above without hesitation!
As this happened, the three black blades in Shino's crimson right eye began to spin violently.
The massive Thunder God Hammer, already crackling with black lightning, was now engulfed in raging black flames!
The black flames, mingling with the black lightning, transformed the hammer into a colossal black rock hammer!
Its immense power instantly turned into an ominous, evil force, carrying a terrifying aura as it smashed toward Aizen!
"Blaze Release: Black Flame Thunder God!"
With Shino's furious roar, the Thunder God Hammer in his hand exploded into countless scattered black flames and black lightning mid-air!
Like a massive cage expanding from the sky and descending to envelop everything, it crashed down toward Aizen!
Meanwhile.
Facing Shino's deadly attack, Aizen continued to calmly perform his hand seals.
As the terrifying black flames and black lightning poured down from the sky toward Aizen, his hand seals were finally completed.
"Bang!"
He slammed his palms together, his cold eyes glancing upward as he shouted.
"Lightning Release: Divine Punishment!"
Aizen stood upright, bare-chested, with his hands pressed together.
As if commanding the heavens, the world was instantly illuminated as bright as day when he uttered those words!
"Boom—"
In an instant, a massive bolt of lightning tore through the sky, splitting the heavens!
To everyone present, this was an unprecedented display of thunder. Countless lightning branches spread across the dark night sky like a colossal thunderous tree, its veins and branches clearly visible, illuminating everything.
On the ground, everything became clear under the blinding white light.
The intense brightness from the sky not only illuminated the devastated battlefield but also revealed the stunned expressions on the faces of all the ninjas.
It also exposed the dark creatures lurking in the night.
In a hidden spot at the foot of the ruined mountain.
"Rustle— Rustle—"
Amidst the faint sounds, a broken tree root in a corner began to undergo a bizarre transformation.
Gradually, a pitch-black creature emerged from the root.
Its shape was strange, and as it fully appeared, a pair of yellow eyes slowly opened on its dark surface.
Then, after glancing at the battlefield, a mouth suddenly formed on its body, and it spoke in a hoarse, heavy voice.
"They shouldn't notice me..."
After saying this, its eyes caught sight of the battle on the mountain, and its pupils instantly contracted.
"Is that...?!"
"Damn it... Is that Aizen Sōsuke fighting up there?!"
"I must find him... Mother... I will definitely revive you..."
As its hoarse voice faded, its eerie body vanished from the scene.
Meanwhile, on the ruined mountain.
The colossal, apocalyptic lightning bolt struck the mountain the moment it appeared, its speed beyond imagination!
It struck Shino, who was protected by the Susanoo, directly.
Even with the Susanoo's absolute defense, the immense lightning bolt pierced through his body and continued downward.
Under the devastating lightning strike, Shino, despite the Susanoo's protection, could not endure the unbearable pain. The Black Flame Thunder God in his hand disintegrated before it could reach Aizen!
"Boom— Boom—"
The mountain, already on the verge of collapse after being battered by countless tornadoes, could no longer withstand this final blow. It began to crumble and collapse.
Under this awe-inspiring lightning strike that lit up the heavens, the dark mountain was nearly shattered, marking this as the ultimate Lightning Release technique!
At the foot of the mountain, amidst the devastated battlefield, all the ninjas watched with pale faces, not only in awe of nature's immense power but also in fear.
Fear of Aizen, who could unleash two different jutsu capable of altering the weather, one after the other.
No one could doubt Aizen's strength anymore.
Today's events had proven it. Facing the combined forces of the five great villages, Aizen had effortlessly dominated.
Without a doubt, Aizen Sōsuke was now the strongest ninja in the world!
In a distant corner, Ōnoki and his rock ninjas watched the crumbling mountain with dark expressions, their voices filled with complexity.
"In just a few years, he's reached such heights... Aizen Sōsuke... Will you truly overthrow the ninja world?"
After saying this, he let out a heavy sigh, his brows furrowed with an indescribable sense of loss.
In another safe corner, a group of cloud ninjas, including Darui, Ay, and Bee, watched the mountain with grave expressions.
"If Aizen doesn't die here today... the ninja world will face an unprecedented enemy," Darui said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ay's expression darkened, his sharp eyes flickering as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Even my father couldn't perform a Lightning Release technique of this magnitude... Aizen Sōsuke... How did he gain such terrifying power? With just two different elemental jutsu, he's already crushed the combined forces of the five villages... If he possesses other elemental jutsu..."
Ay didn't finish his sentence.
They couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying enemy the ninja world would face if that were the case.
Meanwhile, among the Konoha ninjas, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shikaku, and Minato watched the mountain with heavy expressions.
After a long silence, Jiraiya finally spoke in a dry, hoarse voice.
"This is his true strength, isn't it..."
"As expected... of Sōsuke..."
As he spoke, his eyes darkened, as if a glimmer of hope within him had been extinguished.
Just then, Tsunade, who had been listening with a somber expression, suddenly widened her eyes as if she had seen something.
"Wait... It's not over yet. Look, Jiraiya!" she exclaimed.
Hearing her words, Jiraiya quickly turned his gaze back to the mountain.
On the crumbling mountain, Aizen stood calmly, his bare upper body revealing perfectly defined muscles. His cold eyes glanced at Shino, who was trembling and barely able to stand, as he spoke indifferently.
"Can't stand anymore? You should be proud to have forced me to use this much power, Shino Uchiha."
"Now, perish with the thunder."
As his words fell, he formed hand seals once more.
In the next moment.
The thick, swirling clouds above gathered once again.
"Boom—"
A slightly smaller but still massive bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the night once more as thunder roared.
Shino's crimson eyes widened, his heart racing as he desperately thought to himself.
Didn't he say he would cooperate with me in this act?!
Is he really trying to kill me?!
Damn it... It can't be... Aizen said he would... What is he thinking?!
At that moment, a flash of insight struck Shino, and his pupils dilated.
Could it be...?!
"Boom—"
As the massive lightning bolt descended from the sky, Shino straightened his body slightly. The three black blades in his crimson eyes spun rapidly once more as he stared intently at Aizen.
"Whoosh—"
His body was once again fully enveloped by the Susanoo. Without retreating, he raised the arm holding the Thunder God Hammer high.
Seeing this, a faint smile flickered in Aizen's eyes.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion echoed as the lightning struck the raised Thunder God Hammer!
Under the immense power of the lightning, the hammer glowed with a blinding white light, as if filled with infinite energy. Shino gripped it tightly, his eyes cold, and charged toward Aizen at incredible speed!
Enveloped in the Susanoo, Shino reached Aizen in an instant. Just as before, he raised the Thunder God Hammer high, and in that moment, black flames coiled around it!
Shino stared fiercely at Aizen, ignoring his grim expression, and swung the hammer down with all his might, roaring furiously.
"Die! Lightning Release: Black Flame God of Destruction!"
Aizen's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the blinding light right before him!
"Boom—"
In the next moment, a brilliant blue light engulfed everything, and the world was once again illuminated!
Endless lightning was released in an instant, obliterating everything.
Under the pale faces and stunned gazes of all the ninjas, the dark mountain was bathed in light for a brief moment before being completely destroyed.
It was as if an atomic bomb had been detonated. The massive shockwave annihilated everything in its path.
Centered around Aizen's position, the terrifying shockwave spread outward, and the already crumbling mountain finally gave way, collapsing from top to bottom.
As the mountain disintegrated, no one noticed a dark, eerie figure leaping upward amidst the falling debris, its voice filled with despair.
"No!! Damn it... How could I die here?!"
"Mother...!!"
