Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Forest of Menos.

The air seemed to slow down.

As Kusanagi no Tsurugi merged into Orochimaru’s body, the huge and mixed reiatsu burst out from his body and engulfed most of Forest of Menos in an instant!

These reiatsu…

All of them were obtained by Orochimaru after he devoured Menos!

However, Orochimaru’s appearance did not change at all. This really did not conform to Hueco Mundo’s rules at all. He seems to have simply awakened his own reiatsu!

This kind of strange Resurrección form was really unheard of…

No matter if it was the Hollowfied Shinigami or Arrancar when they entered Resurrección form, their bodies would all undergo some changes without exception. However, Orochimaru did not change at all…

Even Sosuke Aizen was somewhat surprised by the sudden increase in reiatsu. But this did not stop Sosuke Aizen from raising his hand to attack Orochimaru!

“Hmm?”

Sosuke Aizen looked at the wounds on Orochimaru’s body and began to chant the incantation in a low voice, “Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness…”

As Sosuke Aizen chanted, his eyes stared at Orochimaru who was flying toward him. He did not care about Orochimaru’s attack at all. He only waved Kyouka Suigetsu to block Orochimaru’s attack lightly and continued to chant the incantation in a low voice…

“Hehehehe…”

The corners of Orochimaru’s mouth could not help but chuckle. He stared at Sosuke Aizen and said, “This is the incantation for Hado #90… Hehehehe… If I remember correctly, you should have given up chanting incantation long ago, right?”

“It’s different…”

After Sosuke Aizen finished chanting his incantation, he slowly shook his head and raised his palm toward Orochimaru, “If it’s only a Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin) with one-third of its power, it would be a bit disrespectful to Mr. Orochimaru…”

Indeed.

Sosuke Aizen did not even need to chant an incantation to release Hado #90 Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin). This was a Kido spell of 90th rank. Others might not even dare to imagine that such a Kido spell could be released without incantation!

Of course.

If they abandoned chanting, the power of Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin) could only release one-third of its original power. But one-third of its power was not enough right now!

Especially for Orochimaru who was big shot thousands of years ago, the complete power of Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin) could not hurt him too much…

It was just a test.

In the next moment, the reiatsu, who was rampaging on Sosuke Aizen’s body, quickly swept up. He finally recited the name of the spell he used calmly!

“Hado #90 Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin)!”

The pitch-black wall quickly spread out!

In an instant, Orochimaru was imprisoned in a pitch-black cuboid!

Countless black reiatsu transformed into sharp blades that instantly pierced through Orochimaru’s body. This level of attack simply made it impossible for anyone to dodge!

Orochimaru didn’t seem to want to dodge either.

Even though Orochimaru was severely injured the moment the Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin) was activated, he still manipulated the Kusanagi no Tsurugi in his body to rush out of his body, turning into a giant sword and piercing the Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin)!

One move…

He solved the dilemma.

When Orochimaru walked out of the Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin), there was still a faint smile on his face. His body, which had just been seriously injured by the Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin), was also recovering quickly…

High-Speed Regeneration.

This kind of ability was unique to Hollows, I don’t know how much it has been strengthened by Orochimaru that has been devouring Menos. After all, this guy’s goal has always been eternal life…

“As expected of a legendary figure…”

Sosuke Aizen shook the Kyouka Suigetsu in his hand and slowly praised, “After taking a direct hit from Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin), the reiatsu on his body did not weaken at all, and he even easily broke through the Kurohitsugi(Black Coffin) imprisonment.”

Such a super-fast regeneration ability…

It even surpassed Ulquiorra!

This also meant that if he continued to fight, Orochimaru did not seem to care about the problem of his injury at all, because he could almost endlessly recover!

However…

Only then would Sosuke Aizen find it interesting!

In the long history, Sosuke Aizen had seen too many people. Those people were not worthy of him personally making a move. It even made him feel like giving an extra look was not worth it!

Only people like Orochimaru and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who were equal to history, were qualified to make him look up to them and be treated with care!

Then let’s defeat this fellow Orochimaru in one fell swoop!

Sosuke Aizen’s figure disappeared like a ghost!

In Orochimaru’s line of sight, Sosuke Aizen wielded Kyouka Suigetsu, and the swordsmanship performed with Zanpakuto turned out to be like a meteor shower rushing toward his face!

Countless sword lights quickly stabbed toward Orochimaru’s body!

This attack was a bit dazzling in the eyes of everyone!

It had to be said that this attack was very beautiful, and it was also so bold and deadly. It made Orochimaru think of the scene when Fourth Hokage perform Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)…

It was like countless stars!

It was just that it was far less fatal than Sosuke Aizen’s sword technique which was like an array of stars. He clearly just casually brandished his sword and stabbed out, but under the support of his powerful reiatsu, each attack seemed to be able to easily harvest life…

It was as if a shooting star had streaked past the Forest of Menos!

The reiatsu that Kyouka Suigetsu had thrust out had practically pierced through the entire Forest of Menos!

Countless Gillian-class Menos, who were hiding in the Forest of Menos’ midst, were fierce through by the strand of reiatsu Sosuke Aizen thrust out!

This move of Sosuke Aizen…

It proved that he had the power to destroy the Forest of Menos!

Just relying on the swordsmanship he displayed, he had almost pierced through the Forest of Menos. Countless rocks, trees, and Gillian-class Menos were pierced through by Sosuke Aizen’s sword technique which was like a shooting star!

“There’s actually such power…”

Ichimaru Gin’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Ever since he had achieved success in his studies, he had been ordered to follow Sosuke Aizen. He had never seen Sosuke Aizen display such strength!

If Sosuke Aizen was willing…

He could easily clear out the Forest of Menos!

It was no wonder that Sosuke Aizen dared to bring the few of them to the appointment. Just how much strength was this guy hiding? He seemed to have never displayed his true strength…

Yes.

Sosuke Aizen always played it down like this.

No matter what kind of enemy he faced… No, it should be said that Sosuke Aizen had never seen an enemy that could threaten him… He also did not know if Orochimaru was not considered one… Perhaps, Orochimaru was just a person that could make Sosuke Aizen slightly interested.

Really…

As expected of someone that even Uehara Naraku valued!

A hint of surprise flashed across Ulquiorra’s face, but in the next moment, his expression returned to calm, and he only raised his head to look at Sosuke Aizen’s opponent, Orochimaru…

“Such reiatsu and strength…”

Ulquiorra slowly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, “Will Lord Orochimaru… have a chance to force out Lord Aizen’s Bankai?”

“Who knows…”

Tosen Kaname waved the Suzumushi in his hand and forced back a group of Arrancar. He also whispered, “Ever since I was ordered to hide under Sosuke Aizen, I have never noticed that Sosuke Aizen had used Bankai…”

Indeed…

Sosuke Aizen had never used Bankai before.

It was precisely because he has never encountered an enemy that force him to use Bankai.

However, if it was said that Sosuke Aizene does not have Bankai, no one will believe it. According to Sosuke Aizen’s genius level, his Bankai may be mastered at about the same time as he mastered Shikai!

After all…

Sosuke Aizen could liberate his Zanpakuto without chanting!

Because when Sosuke Aizen mastered Shikai, Uehara Naraku had no way to secretly send someone to spy on Sosuke Aizen, let alone spy on his Bankai ability.

The entire Uehara clan did not know when Sosuke Aizen had mastered Bankai. This was also a relatively troublesome problem… Sosuke Aizen had never exposed his Bankai ability!

Shinigami’s Zanpakuto was too strange…

The reason why Uehara Naraku arranged for Orochimaru to fight Sosuke Aizen was not only to let him join Sosuke Aizen after the battle or form an alliance with Sosuke Aizen…

There was another purpose…

It was naturally to see Sosuke Aizen’s Bankai!

It was just that he don’t know if Orochimaru has this power or not…

The current Orochimaru looked a little miserable when he was facing Sosuke Aizen’s sword technique which was like a shooting star. Even though Orochimaru hurriedly defended himself, his body was pierced through countless holes by this sword technique. Blood slowly flowed out from the holes…

Even…

More than half of Orochimaru’s body had a hole in it. This was a true heavy injury. Even if he has High-Speed Regeneration, he would not be able to recover easily…

“What a terrifying reiatsu…”

There were two holes in Orochimaru’s face, and he looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. However, there was still a smile on his face, “Even if it was thousands of years ago, just your reiatsu alone could be on par with those guys…”

Sosuke Aizen curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Orochimaru’s calm expression through his frame. He said in a low voice, “Then I really have to thank you for your praise. However, it seems that Mr. Orochimaru is more tenacious than I thought.”

This move consumed a lot of his reiatsu!

Even if it was used to display Hado of 99th rank, it was more than enough!

Although Sosuke Aizen could clearly feel that Orochimaru’s reiatsu had decreased, it was far from the effect that Sosuke Aizen wanted…

However, this was normal.

After all, Orochimaru was a famous figure in Soul Society thousands of years ago. He couldn’t be like those captain-level Shinigami, and be defeated by him with one move, right?

“Tenacious?”

Orochimaru grinned.

However, his smile grew bigger and bigger, and his mouth suddenly opened. A palm suddenly stretched out from Orochimaru’s mouth!

This scene…

It was extremely eerie!

What the hell… was this situation!

Sosuke Aizen frowned slightly as he watched the strange and terrifying palm slowly open Orochimaru’s mouth. A figure slowly emerged from Orochimaru’s mouth

That was…

Other Orochimaru!

As the other Orochimaru crawled out from his original body, his original body quickly withered, like an empty shell…

This Orochimaru was like a newborn!

The wound that Sosuke Aizen had stabbed on his body earlier had disappeared without a trace!

Other than the fact that his reiatsu was a little weak, his injuries had completely healed. This was the effect of Orochimaru-Ryu no Kawarimi no Jutsu(Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique). Even in this world, Orochimaru still researched the method of using spiritual power instead of chakra while using Orochimaru-Ryu no Kawarimi no Jutsu(Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique)…

“Unbelievable…”

Sosuke Aizen pushed his glasses up, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He praised softly, “I really want to know how many strange abilities the once talented Mr. Orochimaru has…”

It was indeed very magical.

Originally, Sosuke Aizen thought that this move of his was enough to destroy Orochimaru’s High-Speed Regeneration ability. He launched a powerful attack that could directly inflict serious damage or even kill Orochimaru…

Unexpectedly…

Orochimaru also had a solution to this situation.

If it was an ordinary injury, Orochimaru could use High-Speed Regeneration to solve it. If it was a fatal injury, Orochimaru would consume his spiritual power to materialize a new body…

What a troublesome fellow!

“Use your Bankai…”

Orochimaru looked at Sosuke Aizen and said with a smile, “If you don’t use Bankai, you don’t seem to be able to do anything to me now, little brat…”

“Really?”

Sosuke Aizen slowly nodded his head. The reiatsu on his body once again soared. The reiatsu rapidly gathered on Kyouka Suigetsu and his aura was especially intimidating!

At this moment…

Sosuke Aizen was still as confident as before. He slowly said, “It seems that Mr. Orochimaru still has more trump cards in his hands… If I use Bankai, I just feel that I might lose!”

A cold light flashed in Sosuke Aizen’s eyes. He calmly continued, “If I use Bankai here, how should I face the head of Uehara Clan’s 13 Death Servants… Uchiha Madara?”

Before Hogyoku finished…

Sosuke Aizen will not easily reveal his trump card!

Moreover, ever since the battle with Orochimaru, Sosuke Aizen was very clear that he had always held the advantage. This was not the time to use Bankai!

“I have never used so much spiritual power before… Let me see… Mr. Orochimaru…”

Sosuke Aizen slowly walked toward Orochimaru. This time, his speed was especially slow. When he waved Kyouka Suigetsu again, the speed of this Zanpakuto became extremely elegant and slow!

This was because his Zanpakuto was too heavy!

This was because the reiatsu that Sosuke Aizen had attached himself to his Zanpakuto was too powerful, so powerful that even Kyouka Suigetsu was unable to withstand his power!

“This reiatsu…”

The smile on Orochimaru’s face slowly stiffened.

This guy Sosuke Aizen, could he also be the same as Uehara Naraku, always hiding his power?

This Sosuke Aizen…

He had long since possessed the strength to rival the entire Soul Society!

“Let me see…”

Sosuke Aizen swung his sword down fiercely. The Shinigami’s captain robe swayed on his body, making his entire body look extremely elegant!

Even with a sword…

It still did not change his demeanor!

However, this sword seemed to want to split the entire Forest of Menos apart!

Sosuke Aizen still maintained the posture of waving his sword and indifferently raised his eyes, “Let me see if Mr. Orochimaru’s strength will match your vitality… A vitality that does not match your strength is a great waste!”

Rumble!

The reiatsu, who had been suppressed by Sosuke Aizen’s slash, exploded completely after Aizen’s words fell!

A long and narrow sword slash cut across!

The entire Forest of Menos was cut open, and this terrifying hell hidden beneath Hueco Mundo saw the light of day for the first time!

The Kusanagi no Tsurugi emerged from within Orochimaru’s body, as if it wanted to help block Sosuke Aizen’s sword slash, but was directly cut apart by this sword slash!

“What kind of joke is this…”

There was still a stiff smile on Orochimaru’s face.

However, in the next moment, his smiling face slowly split into two.

Sosuke Aizen slowly withdrew his Zanpakuto. He did not even look at Orochimaru who was split into two. He only continued on his own, “Being able to let me show my Shikai full strength for the first time…For the two of us, perhaps it should be called…lucky…”
