Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 432 Hana-chan, who cleaved Aizen with her sword

Hearing Tosen's cold words, Komamura Sajin became even angrier: "You're a real bastard!"

"No, you're not just blind, you're deaf! You know nothing!"

Kaname Tosen scoffed, "I don't need to know more, there's absolutely no need!"

"All I know is that my brother is dead, silently murdered by the nobles, while the murderer got away scot-free!"

"I also know that there are countless people who died silently like Ge Kuang!"

"The Soul Society and the Seireitei are the biggest cancer, and the Shinigami are the cancer's henchmen. In order to eradicate this cancer, we must kill all the Shinigami and completely overthrow the rule of the Seireitei."

Komamura Sajin: "You babbling idiot, I'm going to beat you awake!"

"Roar! Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King!!"

"Idiot!" Tosen sneered. "You really think you're some kind of powerful captain-level Shinigami?"

"Clear Insect Final Form: Enma Cricket!!"

The enormous black rope Tensen Myōō lunged at Tōsen Kaname, but was enveloped by an even larger rugby ball-shaped barrier.

In just a few seconds, the barrier dissipated on its own, and the giant Myōō and Komamura Sajin collapsed, both covered in blood.

"Swastika: Residual Fire Taishou!!"

'

As Captain-Commander Yamamoto's aged yet still powerful voice rang out, the boundless spiritual pressure of flames rapidly contracted, instantly returning to his sword.

Although Aizen said a lot, defeated Kuchiki Byakuya, and took a blow from Komamura Sajin, his attention was actually focused on Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Because he is recognized as the "strongest Grim Reaper".

Seeing Captain-Commander Yamamoto use Bankai, Aizen's expression became more serious than ever before, and he said, "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."

In fact, no one knows whether this is Aizen's Zanpakuto, the release phrase of Kyoka Suigetsu, because he has said many, many different release phrases, and even just called out the name of the Zanpakuto.

However, since his Zanpakuto is entirely hypnotic, it is uncertain whether it is called "Kyoka Suigetsu".

But before Aizen could fully unleash his Zanpakuto, he was struck squarely by a brilliant and fierce blade of light.

【Broken Flame Katana - East - Rising Sun Blade】

Aizen was split in two from the middle by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and his entire body began to turn to ash along the midline.

The heat of Ryujin Jakka's flames is concentrated entirely on the blade. Although it does not burn or release explosive flames, it possesses an incomprehensible high temperature.

Everything that comes into contact with the Rising Sun Blade will be completely decomposed at the material level under the influence of the ultra-high temperature. Only the parts that are far away and not in direct contact will turn to ash.

However, Aizen, who was turning into ashes, was still laughing: "What an unparalleled Zanpakuto in terms of destructive power. Captain-Commander, you truly deserve to be called the hero who founded Seireitei."

"If you hit me, I'll really die."

"But Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, did you really strike me?"

Yamamoto Shigekuni's pupils suddenly contracted as he watched helplessly as the scattered ashes floated back into Aizen's body, gradually restoring him to his original state.

The captain asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this the illusion of 'Flowers in a Mirror and Moon'?"

Aizen laughed and said, "It is indeed an illusion."

"The ability of 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' is complete hypnosis; it can control another person's five senses, making the target perceive the posture, shape, and appearance of things..."

Misjudgments can occur based on texture, touch, and taste.

"Through years of practice, I have raised my illusion skills to the limit. Even the closest people will be transformed into the appearance of enemies under the power of Mirror Flower Water Moon."

Aizen openly displayed his abilities, even going so far as to recount more details: "Once you witness the Shikai of Kyoka Suigetsu once, you will be completely hypnotized from that moment on. After that, every time Kyoka Suigetsu is released, you will fall into complete hypnosis, and even if you know you are hypnotized, you will have no way to escape."

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, your Zanpakuto is indeed the strongest attack in Soul Society, but you can't find my true location at all. Even if you cover me with a wide-range attack skill, you still won't know if I'm injured."

"Perhaps the person you captured and burned to death was Captain Komamura Sajin."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's hand trembled almost imperceptibly, because he truly couldn't pinpoint Aizen's location.

The moment I slashed down, both the feel and the force of the resistance were so real, without the slightest problem.

But the result was that Aizen was completely unharmed.

Even with his extensive experience, Captain-Commander Yamamoto fell silent at this moment.

He wasn't worried about failing; he was absolutely confident he was immune to Aizen's attack.

Missing the enemy isn't a fatal problem; he can burn Aizen alive with just wide-range attacks.

However, Captain-Commander Yamamoto couldn't help but worry that his attacks might fall on other captains, causing him to kill his own subordinates or even his students.

He couldn't do it.

In a secluded corner, Xia Zuo muttered to himself, "That's why I hate people who play with illusions the most; they're all black-hearted villains."

Xia Zuo licked his lips and said, "But with the Captain-Commander present, he wouldn't have the energy to observe his surroundings, would he?"

"Sister Hua, listen up, I'm starting the countdown, 100, 99, 99————"

"It's been that long?" Retsu Unohana muttered in confusion, her eyes closed. "There are a lot of variables going on."

She closed her eyes the moment Aizen appeared.

Because no one knows when Aizen will draw his Zanpakuto, once he sees Kyoka Suigetsu, it becomes difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the kill.

Retsu Unohana and Natsumi unanimously decided that Unohana would be the one to execute Aizen, keeping her eyes closed and not looking at him, while Natsumi would act as the observer, using his own eyes to determine the timing of the attack.

When the killing begins, Xia Zuo will first unleash his spiritual pressure, using the maximum spiritual pressure to point out Aizen's location to Unohana Retsu, and then kill him in one fell swoop.

After Aizen appeared, although he still acted like the kind-hearted captain of the Fifth Division, his actions were incredibly flamboyant. He casually took down Kuchiki Byakuya and caught Komamura Sajin's Myōō Slash.

Even Captain-Commander Yamamoto, the strongest Shinigami, couldn't hit the main target with his Bankai Zanka no Tachi.

Aizen stood there, but no one knew exactly where he was.

So much so that even the Commander-in-Chief didn't know how to attack.

Such an assertive style made all the Death Captains present dare not make any rash moves.

The saying "pretentiousness is like the wind, always with me" perfectly describes Aizen!

Hidden in the shadows, Xia Zuo felt genuine envy, which then turned into jealousy, and finally into intense hatred.

You bastard! Grandpa Xia Zuo won't show off, but he won't tolerate you showing off this much!

You'll see!

"Does no one want to say anything to me?" Aizen looked around, then shook his head in disappointment and disdain.

Then he looked up at the sky, smiled, and asked, "Does anyone feel like something's missing up there?"

"Rules bind ignorance, reality is the shackles of the soul. Those who imprison themselves will never understand the true meaning of life."

"I already know what great beings once existed in the heavens, and you don't even know to investigate this question."

"No one was born standing in the heavens, neither you, nor I, nor even that so-called god. But this unbearable void on the throne of heaven is about to end."

"From this day forward, I will stand in the heavens!"

Where's the hairspray on your hands? And why are you still wearing glasses?

Oh, it hasn't taken off yet? Heh, no need to fly anymore, just die! "Countdown is about to end! Three! Two! —!!

A beam of light, reaching the heavens and the earth, suddenly appeared. It seemed to appear directly on the ground, piercing through the sky, and then suddenly appeared more than a hundred meters behind Aizen.

As Aizen's body suddenly appeared and spurted out a large amount of blood, Aizen, who was talking eloquently in front of him, disappeared into the shadows.

Everyone realized the same thing: they hit him! The real Aizen had been struck!

As the towering sword light disintegrated into countless points of light and vanished, Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, appeared before Aizen, the flesh-shaped sword she held radiating terrifying spiritual pressure.

Because of the full force of her spiritual pressure, Retsu Unohana's braids were scattered by the pressure, fluttering behind her without wind, revealing a huge scar on her chest.

-

Even more striking than the change in her hairstyle was her demeanor. The gentle, beautiful, and quiet older sister medical captain had disappeared, and standing here was the crazy, bloodthirsty, and murderous first Kenpachi!

Seeing Unohana Retsu like this, Aizen showed a surprised expression for the first time: "Captain Unohana, I was right to be so wary of you all along."

"But I still underestimated your strength and your wisdom—cough cough, I thought you would be influenced by my hints and go to Central 46 to investigate, wasting your precious time—"

"After hearing Matsumoto Rangiku's speech just now, I still firmly believe that you are on your way here from Room 46 —"

"It was my carelessness. I completely overlooked Unohana-senpai's existence. People really have to be cautious and humble at all times."

Unohana Retsu remained silent until her spiritual pressure stabilized. Suddenly, she drew her sword again, the blade flashing like lightning as it struck Aizen's neck, only to be shattered by a sudden burst of power.

Unohana Retsu frowned and asked, "What kind of power is this? Was it because of this power that you weren't cut in two by me?"

"Yes." Aizen pulled open his blood-stained shihaka robe, revealing a huge wound on his chest that was healing, and the Hogyoku blocking the end of the wound.

At this moment, the Hogyoku had fused with Aizen's body, and blue tubes grew out and were inserted into his body.

The Hogyoku beat like a heart, pumping streams of blue energy into Aizen's body with each beat, boosting his aura.

"I misjudged Unohana-senpai's strength and intelligence; these two sword strikes are the price I have to pay."

Aizen smiled again and continued, "But I paid a price, but I also gained a great deal, which made me realize that I am so compatible with the Hogyoku that we can merge and become one."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you, Unohana-senpai."

"Oh, right, I have another question."

"You couldn't have opened your eyes to look at me before you struck me, so how did you pinpoint my location?"

Aizen turned his head to look in the direction behind him and said, "Just before you drew your sword, spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from this direction."

"Even though it was only for a fleeting moment, it was incredibly powerful. Did this spiritual pressure point you to my location?"

All the Shinigami captains, including Captain-Commander Yamamoto, frowned; they hadn't noticed the presence of this spiritual pressure.

But Aizen wouldn't lie, would he?

Perhaps due to the lingering influence of the illusory world of Kyoka Suigetsu, the Shinigami, despite their hatred for Aizen, still held an unwavering trust in him.

Aizen continued, "That's strange. I remember all the Shinigami in the Soul Society, and I also remember the spiritual pressure of each of them. This sudden burst of spiritual pressure is not in my memory."

"Is it a new spiritual weapon similar to the Destroyer King, or a mysterious helper invited by Senior Unohana?"

Xia Zuo rolled his eyes and emerged from his hiding place: "You can't remember my spiritual pressure because I usually hide it. It's a tradition of our 11th Division!"

"Aizen, are you trying to ruin me by praising me with such exaggerated words?"

Aizen, seeing Xia Zuo, showed a surprised expression for the second time: "Xia Zuo, the fourth seat of the 11th Division, how could it be you?"

"I've shown you this illusion more than once!"

Xia Zuo nodded: "Yes, at least 6 hypnosis sessions. I don't know exactly how many times you hypnotized me, but I remember doing a few hypnotic cleansing sessions."

Aizen's pupils contracted: "You can break the complete hypnosis of Kyoka Suigetsu?"

"Of course I can, otherwise how could I face you here?" Xia Zuo laughed. "If the hypnosis can't be lifted, after six or seven times, I'll probably start to idolize you and won't even have the will to fight against you anymore."

"9

Seeing the wariness in Aizen's eyes, Xia Zuo smiled even more broadly. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this is an ability that is triggered passively. It can only be used by myself and cannot be used by others."

The more he said this, the more wary Aizen became.

After all, there is Captain Unohana as a ready example. Does she have a special talent to break free from hypnosis, or does she ignore hypnosis with her strong strength?

It certainly wasn't because of strength, because even the stronger Yamamoto Shigekuni couldn't break free from the hypnosis; he didn't even realize he was being hypnotized.

Smart people all have one unavoidable problem: they tend to overthink.

Unohana Retsu did indeed dream of the future by luck, and Natsumi also obtained the cheat by luck.

But in Aizen's eyes, these were just two coincidences targeting his Kyoka Suigetsu hypnotic ability, and two coincidences were certainly not coincidences!

He immediately concluded that this was a deliberate scheme against him, and that someone had broken his illusion!

Aizen's current plans are largely based on Kyoka Suigetsu, so it's impossible for him not to overthink it.
