A brief sense of weightlessness.
By the time Aizen recovered, he had already left the Soul Reaper World and arrived in the Land of Hot Water.
His figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
Looking at the ravaged land, his eyes were devoid of emotion, but a fresh sensation welled up within him.
"Is this the Ninja World? It's quite interesting. The energy in the air is very strange; I can't unleash my full power."
Aizen raised his hand, stirring the energy fluctuations nearby.
He found that the quality of the energy contained in the Ninja World was slightly weaker than that of the Soul Reaper World.
All extraordinary abilities
are a living being's control over energy. If the energy quality deteriorates, it will naturally lead to a certain degree of weakening of strength.
"However, Gin-san didn't remind me about the energy's strength. Is it because he forgot, or is it… that players have something special?"
A hint of curiosity flickered in Aizen's eyes.
His gaze swept across the battlefield covered in ice and fire explosions, and suddenly, he appeared directly beside a wounded player.
"Who are you?"
The player, wearing a Konoha headband and with light brown eyes, was startled by Aizen's sudden appearance.
Not a ninja, nor a Marine…
He hadn't sensed any killing intent from the other party; in fact, the other party wasn't even a player.
Yet he was able to evade his perception.
Aizen said kindly, "Don't worry, I'm an reinforcements here to help eliminate Pollution Monsters."
He extended his arm to examine the other party's injuries.
Logically speaking,
such close contact would definitely trigger the instinctive defense mechanism of a ninja trained since childhood.
But it was very strange;
Anko Mitarashi showed no resistance until Aizen finished examining her injuries.
Only after realizing what had happened did she quickly check her wounds, finding that Aizen had already healed them.
"That's so strange, you're not a player, are you?"
Anko Mitarashi asked curiously, "Could it be a human from another world? You didn't even use Palm Sage Art, yet you managed to heal such severe injuries."
Not all aid from otherworld forces were players.
Just like the Marines, some soldiers, though not yet players, whose talents and potential were highly valued, came to the Ninja World for training via teleportation scrolls.
"No, I am a samurai fleeing from war. I heard Konoha's call for help and came to assist."
Aizen shook his head, denying it, then gently admonished, "While battle requires giving your all, you must also reserve enough strength to protect yourself. Only then can you make a comeback."
"Temporary bravado and death will only grieve your comrades."
It sounded like a lecture,
but she didn't feel repulsed. Anko Mitarashi even felt as if the other party was a close friend who cared deeply about her life and death.
Even though she had only just met this person.
How truly strange.
"Leave the rest to me."
Aizen stood up.
He drew the Zanpakuto from his waist and looked at the Abyssal Evil God causing destruction in the distance, assuming a combat stance.
Anko Mitarashi quickly spoke up, "You're not even a player. If the Abyssal Evil God discovers you, you'll die…"
The one who had just injured her was an Abyss Brute, a melee monster similar to a shield warrior.
Its [Strength] and [Constitution] attributes were likely both at 99 points, and it possessed skills that could enhance its strength and defense.
Even elite players were no match for it,
let alone an ordinary person like Aizen, who wasn't even a player.
Calling himself a samurai,
in her impression, even the strongest samurai, Mifune, was barely at Kage-level strength.
Since the Reincarnation Game appeared, Kage-level had long been eliminated, becoming dust in history; any Lv.19 player could rival a Kage.
She was a Lv.30 Sword Master,
yet she was easily instantly killed by the Abyss Brute. For an ordinary samurai like Aizen to challenge it was no different from suicide.
Shatter, Mirror Flower, Water Moon (Kyoka Suigetsu)…
Anko Mitarashi felt her vision blur slightly, then she saw Aizen gripping his Zanpakuto, battling the Abyss Brute.
Indeed, just as she thought,
Aizen, who was not a player, was being beaten back by the Abyss Brute's fists.
He was like a small boat struggling against a fierce storm.
Just as she was about to rush forward to help,
she found that
the newly acquainted Aizen was incredibly fast and strong, far surpassing ordinary samurai, likely reaching Kage-level.
Although he couldn't compare to the Abyss Brute,
he was able to bridge the enormous attribute gap, which was like a chasm, by relying on extremely excellent combat skills and proficient swordsmanship.
"How is that possible?"
Anko was utterly shocked, thinking she was seeing things.
This feeling was like watching a Genin from the Ninja School, in a situation where their Chakra reserves, physical abilities, and mastery of Ninja Art were at an extreme disadvantage,
fighting the Hokage to a standstill purely through combat technique.
Fighting above one's level was indeed quite common; Konoha was, after all, a cradle for geniuses.
Hatake Kakashi, while still a Genin, could defeat some ordinary Chunin, and even slightly weaker, clearly flawed, Special Jonin.
Even more remarkable,
the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, could rescue the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki from three Cloud Ninja before even graduating from the Ninja School.
But…
there had to be a limit. Aizen's ability to fight above his level exceeded Anko's comprehension.
Yet, everything seemed so perfectly reasonable.
"A genius?"
Just as Aizen was nearing his limit,
Anko also recovered and quickly stepped in to help, defeating the Abyss Brute with Aizen's assistance.
"Are you really a samurai?"
Anko narrowed her eyes and boldly grabbed Aizen's hand.
The intimate gesture
made Aizen slightly stunned, like a polite, honest person, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
But it was enough for Anko to release her perception.
Her [Sword Master Lv.30] had an imprint skill that enhanced perception.
She had just gripped Aizen's hand to test him, and indeed found no traces of ninja training;
he was completely a seasoned samurai.
"That's right, my hometown is on the border of the Land of Fire; I've never left my village."
Aizen smiled, then his gaze darkened as he said, "It's just that, due to Orochimaru's scientific experiments, my village was destroyed. I escaped and happened to encounter Konoha being attacked by an Evil God, so I wanted to help."
Orochimaru?
Hearing the familiar name, Anko's body suddenly tensed, then quickly returned to normal.
Anko Mitarashi, who had been Orochimaru's disciple, felt as much hatred for him now as she had once admired him.
Not just because he destroyed Konoha,
but because, from beginning to end, Orochimaru had treated her as a disposable tool, not a true companion or disciple.
Anko gritted her teeth, staring intently at Aizen,
trying to discern any clues from his face.
A samurai from the Land of Fire with Kage-level strength, who also voluntarily brought up Orochimaru, made it hard not to suspect if this was Orochimaru's doing.
However,
Aizen merely displayed a perfectly appropriate hint of awkwardness from being stared at by someone of the opposite sex,
and even with her perception fully activated, Anko felt no changes in his emotions or Chakra.
Apparently, it had nothing to do with Orochimaru?
The Reincarnation Game's skills were abilities granted by the Game Merchant, so they absolutely couldn't be wrong.
Unless,
Aizen, who wasn't even a player, possessed a stronger mental attribute or advanced anti-perception skills than her.
Otherwise, he couldn't possibly hide it from her.
Was this situation possible?
Impossible!
Anko had absolute confidence in her perception skills.
Recalling Aizen's astonishing combat talent, Anko's thoughts stirred, and she said, "I'm sure you've heard about Konoha's hostility with Orochimaru. If you want revenge, join Konoha!"
"I can be your introducer, or even your teacher."
"We both share the common goal of overthrowing Orochimaru's tyrannical rule over the Land of Fire."
