This blow made Iwahato realize the true terror of Jörmungandr, but he had no chance to regret it. He clearly felt the bones in his skull being shattered by this heavy punch, and he was on the verge of death.
Just as he was about to die, he heard a strange voice ring out on the battlefield.
"It's finally over. Jörmungandr, you were too slow!"
The unfamiliar voice surprised Iwahato, yet also felt a sense of familiarity. He strained to turn his head in the direction from which the voice came.
A figure he thought was dead suddenly reappeared.
"It was him," Iwahato with a final gasp of surprise, then closed his eyes and breathed his last.
The speaker was none other than Aizen, who had been ambushed and killed by Iwahato earlier Iwahato. He had been sitting on a rock pillar in the canyon, watching the battle Jörmungandr and Iwahato, having deceived Iwatoru with Genjutsu, until Jörmungandr defeated Iwahato before he appeared.
"Your actions have already attracted the attention of Iwagakure. Let's leave before Iwagakure arrive. Although I'm not afraid of them, it's better to avoid trouble. I dislike problems."
If Iwahato hadn't been Jörmungandr's designated opponent, he would have already dealt with Iwahato and left this harsh Land of Earth.
Hearing Aizen's words, Jörmungandr nodded. He casually picked up the corpse of Iwahato from the ground and put it into a scroll.
After reversing the Body Revival Technique, he turned to Aizen and said, "Let's go."
Seeing Jörmungandr transform back into his original form from his muscular physique, Aizen nodded and leaped off the ground towards the Land of Earth.
Jörmungandr closely behind. And so the two of them left Falling Rock Gorge, one after the other.
Not long after the two of them left Falling Rock Gorge, a small team of twenty Iwagakure arrived.
Upon arriving at Falling Rock Gorge, they were greeted by countless broken rocks, a ground violently struck, and remnants of the Earth Release Technique.
The scene left behind by this fierce battle brought to mind images of the two sides locked in a brutal struggle.
At this moment, one of the team members spoke up, "Two people stay on this battlefield to gather clues, the rest of you follow me and immediately pursue those two traitors who invaded our Land of Earth. No one can cause trouble under the noses of our Iwagakure Iwagakure, let alone take away any of our people."
According to this Iwagakure, Iwahato is a person from Iwagakure.
Although Iwahato was declared missing-nin by Iwagakure, the people of Iwagakure knew the reason for his defection, and they also knew from Iwahato's behavior in Falling Rock Gorge that his heart was still with Iwagakure.
No ninja village would easily give up such a loyal and capable ninja.
Moreover, for the people of Iwagakure, restoring Iwahato's identity as a member of Iwagakure is simply a matter of a word from the Tsuchikage.
Therefore, in the eyes of Iwagakure, Iwahato was not a true missing-nin at all. His status as a missing-nin was merely a temporary punishment, and he would be recalled after a certain period of time.
Of course, in order to avoid giving other ninja villages any cause for discussion, they would first announce Iwahato's death, and then have Iwahato return to Iwagakure under a different identity.
Anyway, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this, and they believed other ninja villages had done the same thing.
However, their plans have been ruined by two petty thieves who appeared out of nowhere, causing them to lose an excellent elite ninja. They cannot let such a grudge go unavenged.
"Yes, Captain!" The words from the Iwagakure comrades inspired a sense of shared hatred for the enemy, and they all echoed in unison.
Furthermore, their pride as members of Iwagakure made them understand that the Iwagakure's dignity could not be tarnished, so they all harbored anger towards the murderer of Iwahato.
Seeing that he had inspired his teammates, the Iwagakure captain who had spoken earlier immediately waved his hand and led the way in chasing after Aizen and the others. The people around him also sprang into action and ran after the Iwagakure captain.
Meanwhile, Aizen and Jörmungandr, who were leaping between strange rocks and cliffs, were unaware that a squad of Iwagakure was pursuing them; they were still chatting idly.
Of course, even if they knew that a squad of Iwagakure was chasing them, they wouldn't be afraid. With their current strength, they wouldn't even consider an Iwagakure squad without Kage Level leader as a threat.
" Aizen- san, are there any other strong opponents? Iwahato was a bit too weak just now." Jörmungandr asked Aizen beside him, looking like he hadn't had enough.
He felt that although Iwahato's strength was not bad, he did not feel any pressure. In the battle just now, he not only did not use Dark Release, but he also only showed about half the power of his Body Revival Technique.
He didn't know if he was just too strong, or if this Elite Jonin of Iwagakure was unworthy of his title.
He had withstood a lot of attacks from Iwahato, but Iwahato could only withstand a couple of blows before collapsing, giving him the feeling that he had fought back, yet it also felt like he hadn't. This awkward feeling intensified his urge to vent.
"With your current strength, ordinary Jonin are completely meaningless to you. Only Kage Level shinobi can give you any fun. But in the current Shinobi World, where are there that many Kage Level shinobi for you to fight?" Aizen replied, constantly leaping on the rock wall.
He could tell from Jörmungandr's performance that ordinary ninjas were no match for him. With his unique Body Revival Technique, Jörmungandr could easily sweep away a group of Jonin -Jörmungandr level ninjas, and he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against Kage Level powerhouses.
If you add the Dark Release technique, even Kage Level ninja would be defeated by Jörmungandr if they didn't know how to use it.
Only ninjas possessing offensive Ninjutsu capable of penetrating Jörmungandr's physical body, or Genjutsu capable of directly attacking Jörmungandr's mind, or whose overall strength surpasses the Kage Level, can defeat Jörmungandr. Other ninjas Jörmungandr.
Because the body activated by the physical body is so abnormal, not to mention its extraordinary strength, it also has superhuman regenerative ability. If it cannot be killed in one blow, then what awaits the enemy is endless torture.
In summary, either someone possesses a bloodline limit like Dust Release Kekkei Tōta that Jörmungandr in one strike, or someone has Genjutsu like Aizen's that can directly take him down, or someone has a powerful Nintaijutsu like the Third Kumogakure that Jörmungandr outlast Jormungandr and see who falls first.
Other ninjas probably wouldn't even be able to break through Jörmungandr's defenses.
When most people cannot damage Jörmungandr's body, it means that Jörmungandr's strength surpasses that of most powerful beings.
At this point in time, when the village leaders and Madara Uchiha are not intervening, they can truly roam the Shinobi World unchallenged.
