Having already left the exchange shop, Aizen was unaware of the gossip about him among the lowly foes inside, but even if he had, he would have simply ignored it. Unless someone truly offended him, he wouldn't care about the whispers of ants. After leaving the exchange shop, he quickly headed towards his mission target Kawasaki Ya.
Although Kawasaki Ya possesses Kekkei Genkai and has the strength of Jonin, his background in Kusagakure makes him unrestrained, indulging in lavish pleasures wherever he goes, which allows the people at the Gold Exchange to track his movements.
The information Aizen had was about Kawasaki Ya's latest location: a town in the Land of Waterfalls. However, Aizen wasn't the only one searching for Kawasaki Ya; ninjas from Kusagakure were also pursuing him, and Kawasaki Ya was closer to the Kusagakure.
The rarity of the Dark Release Kekkei Genkai allowed Aizen to move forward without delay, but unfortunately he was still quite far away. He could only hope that Kawasaki Ya was strong enough not to be killed so easily by the people of Kusagakure.
If he arrives too late and loses a superior Kekkei Genkai test subject, then he will have no choice but to try to force his way into Kusagakure and snatch Kawasaki Ya's body from Kusagakure.
As time passed, the trees around Aizen gradually thinned out, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly open. Seeing this, Aizen knew that he was about to reach the town where his target was located.
After traveling for a few more minutes, a town appeared before him. Aizen slowed down, used his Transformation Technique, and blended into the town.
Following the information provided, he arrived at the inn where Kawasaki Ya had stayed the day before. Upon arriving at the inn, he first used his Sensory Ninjutsu to sense the area, but unfortunately, he did not find any ninjas inside.
He knew he was too late; Kawasaki Ya had already left. However, he showed the innkeeper Kawasaki Ya's photo and asked him about it. Under Aizen's Genjutsu, the innkeeper directly stated the time Kawasaki Ya had left and pointed him in the direction Kawasaki Ya had gone. He also told Aizen that he was the second person to come and inquire about Kawasaki Ya.
This news made Aizen realize that the people of Kusagakure were one step ahead of him. Realizing he couldn't let Kusagakure get there first, Aizen quickly caught up.
Following the direction the innkeeper pointed, Aizen had a feeling that Kawasaki Ya wouldn't be so easily dealt with by the Kusagakure ninja. After chasing for another two hours, Aizen finally saw movement coming from ahead.
Upon noticing the commotion ahead, Aizen stopped and hid to observe the situation. Before Aizen were four Kusagakure ninja attacking a Kusagakure missing-nin, but this missing-nin was incredibly strong, handling the attack with ease. Aizen recognized the attacker as his target, Kawasaki Ya, the user of Dark Release.
" Dark Release: Inhaling Maw " -Kawasaki Ya, who was surrounded, released a special technique brought about by the Kekkei Genkai Dark Release, and a strange wind blew towards the four Kusagakure ninjas who were besieging Kawasaki Ya.
However, the people of Kusagakure also knew the techniques and power of Kawasaki Ya's Kekkei Genkai, and they all dodged and avoided Kawasaki Ya attacks.
"Be careful! This is Kawasaki's unique Kekkei Genkai technique. Anyone hit by this will have their Chakra drained by Kawasaki." A Grass Ninja who had witnessed Kawasaki Ya Dark Release immediately warned his three teammates after seeing Kawasaki Ya's attack.
The other three teammates had also heard of Kawasaki Ya's abilities in Kusagakure, and they all avoided him, not daring to let the strange wind blow on them.
After seeing the four Grass Ninja dodging his attacks, Kawasaki Ya ran towards the forest without looking back. He didn't want to get entangled with the Kusagakure ninjas; the longer he was entangled, the more dangerous it would be for him. But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a sudden wind Release Technique.
" Wind Release: Gale Palm!" A Grass Ninja unleashed a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu from her hand towards Kawasaki Ya, preventing his escape. " Kawasaki, don't even think about running away. Come back to the village with me and apologize to the village leaders."
"Hmph, don't joke around. Those high-ranking officials aren't worth my loyalty." Kawasaki Ya scoffed at the words of the Grass Ninja. He had no goodwill towards those incompetent high-ranking officials. Part of the reason he left Kusagakure was because of the pressure from them. Now that he had finally escaped, why would he go back to die?
"And Luanshi, I'm warning you, don't try to stop me again, or you and your squad will all die here. You should know I have the strength." Kawasaki Ya dodged the attacks of the Grass Ninja while uttering these threats. He hadn't gone all out of consideration for his former comrades, hoping they would back down. But if they really pushed him too far, then sorry, none of the Grass Ninja would leave alive.
However, the four Grass Ninja did not back down in the face of Kawasaki Ya's threat. Their mission was to bring Kawasaki Ya back, and they had long been prepared for this. Moreover, in the eyes of the four Grass Ninja, no matter how strong Kawasaki Ya was, he could not defeat all four of them and escape unscathed. Therefore, they were determined to capture Kawasaki Ya. With this resolve, the four Grass Ninja's movements became increasingly fierce, and the power of their Ninjutsu grew ever greater.
Kawasaki Ya felt increasingly overwhelmed by the attacks of the four Grass Ninja. He steeled himself and stopped holding back. The strange wind that appeared again with the " Dark Release: Inhaling Maw " blew towards the surrounding Grass Ninja. However, this time the wind was more powerful. One Grass Ninja was unable to dodge in time and was directly hit by the wind generated by the Dark Release. In just an instant, all the Chakra in his body was absorbed, and he collapsed to the ground dead.
Seeing his teammate fall to the ground after being hit, " Ryota " saw the other three Grass Ninja looking anxious and quickening their attack movements.
Faced with such an attack, Kawasaki Ya, who had no intention of fleeing, remained calm and composed. He periodically used Dark Release to absorb the Ninjutsu attacking him, determined to wipe out all the Kusagakure pursuers in his path. Thinking this, a ruthless glint flashed in Kawasaki Ya's eyes. He spread his hands, unleashing " Dark Release: Judgment."
A powerful ball of Chakra energy appeared in his hand, which he then shot towards the three Grass Ninja. The storm and shockwave formed by the highly condensed Chakra crashed directly into the three Grass Ninja, who were unprepared for any defense. The attack Grass Ninja them head-on, and the energy wave carved a large trench in the ground.
Seeing the immense destructive power his technique had caused, Kawasaki Ya nodded and smiled with satisfaction. He then glanced at the three lifeless Grass Ninja and spat disdainfully, "How could you mediocre ninjas possibly comprehend the power of the Bloodstained Ninja?"
Just as he was feeling smug, he heard the voice of a stranger.
"That's right, Kawasaki- kun. The power of Kekkei Genkai is beyond the comprehension of ordinary ninjas."
"But Kawasaki- kun, did you know that there are different levels of strength among Kekkei Genkai?"
The sudden voice startled Kawasaki Ya; he hadn't expected someone to be hiding nearby and watching him fight for so long. But he was also secretly pleased; thankfully, the person in the shadows hadn't attacked, or he would have been in danger. Thinking this, Kawasaki Ya looked towards the source of the voice.
A tall, masked figure stood among the branches of a nearby tree; that figure was none other than Aizen, who had been watching the battle for some time.
