" Aizen- san, I'm glad you praised me. But it's still so boring. The Shinobi World is so dull these days."
The current Shinobi World is not yet in the era of Kage Level powerhouses that will emerge in Shippuden. It is currently in the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War, so either some powerful ninjas have not yet grown up, or the previous generation of powerful ninjas are getting old.
There are ninjas suitable to be Jörmungandr's opponents, but they are all too busy fighting.
Moreover, Jörmungandr knew that his strength was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Finding a suitable enemy was difficult; the opponents he could consider were basically village leaders.
Each of them has a group of underlings under their command. No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly attack an entire ninja village by himself. Besides, those Kage don't have the time to bother with some nobody Jörmungandr.
"Alright, that's enough. Since you want something interesting, then you can handle the rest of the Iwagakure. I was hoping to complete the bounty mission easily, but something unexpected still happened."
Aizen was proficient in Sensory Technique, had already sensed a group of Iwagakure) rushing towards them from behind. Judging from their speed of movement, they would appear in front of them in about ten minutes.
Aizen's words made Jörmungandr's eyes light up, and he said with a delighted expression, "Really?"
"Really? Don't you also know Sensory Technique? Just sense it for yourself and you'll know."
"Although I possess Sensory Technique, I dislike things that are completely transparent. I prefer the unknown and the mysterious."
Although Jörmungandr the Sensory Technique, he doesn't use it, finding it too boring to know everything.
He wasn't like Aizen, who liked to have everything under control. He preferred the mystery of the unknown, which gave him the pleasure of searching for the truth.
"Since you like the unknown, I won't say anything more. However, I must remind you that if you want to have a good time this time, you'd better not let those Iwagakure disturb me."
"Otherwise, I'll find it hard to forgive their rudeness after being disturbed by ants so many times. It might ruin your fun," Aizen casually reminded Jörmungandr.
He only tolerated Iwahato's rudeness because of Jörmungandr. Otherwise, given his pride, he should have died the instant Iwahato attacked, instead of continuing to fight Jörmungandr alive and kicking.
Upon hearing Aizen's reminder, Jörmungandr patted his chest and assured him, "OK, I definitely won't let them disturb Aizen. Please enjoy my performance, Aizen!"
Jörmungandr knew his companion's temperament and that Aizen had already given him a lot of face, so for the sake of his own reputation, he had to protect Aizen from being disturbed by the people of Iwagakure.
Aizen saw Jörmungandr's assurance, nodded, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and casually sat down on a rock, patiently waiting for the performance to begin.
"Okay, let's start with warm-up exercises."
Jörmungandr saw that Aizen had already taken a seat to the side, he immediately began his own silly preparatory exercises.
First, they stretched their legs to the left and right in turn, then they opened and closed their arms to do chest-expanding exercises. Sometimes they squatted and sometimes they jumped high, having a great time.
Not long after, the Iwagakure troops that Aizen had mentioned appeared before Jörmungandr. However, Jörmungandr ignored them, still engrossed in his warm-up exercises.
"One, two, three, four; two, two, three, four; three, two..."
The rhythmic shouts left the Iwagakure troops looking at each other in bewilderment. Jörmungandr's strange movements only added to their confusion; they couldn't understand what the enemy was up to on this serious battlefield.
These Iwagakure Chunin but wonder, "Could these strange actions have some meaning?"
Then they glanced at Aizen, who was sitting on a rock not far behind Jörmungandr. Their confusion deepened; they had absolutely no idea what the two opposite them were up to.
After a minute of this stalemate, the captain of the Iwagakure unit could no longer stand the strange atmosphere and gave a signal to his teammates.
His teammates, seeing their captain's look, nodded, then pulled three Kunai from their weapon pouches and hurled them at Jörmungandr, who was warming up.
Three Kunai shape, shot swiftly toward Jörmungandr.
Jörmungandr, facing such a childish attack, didn't bother to defend himself. He simply clenched his fists at his waist, assumed the classic Super Saiyan power-up pose, and shouted, "Haaah!"
Jörmungandr had just shouted, suddenly swelled up, his muscles bulging. He transformed from a slender figure into a monstrous, muscular monster.
At the same time, a powerful aura erupted, directly blowing away the three Kunai that were shot at it.
"Such momentum"
The Iwagakure troops, overwhelmed by Jörmungandr's imposing aura, narrowed their eyes, and beads of sweat trickled down their foreheads and temples.
Their eyes were fixed intently on Jörmungandr.
They sensed a strong aura of danger emanating from Jörmungandr, and their initially dismissive gaze turned cautious and serious. They Byakugan was no ordinary ninja.
At the same time, they were somewhat surprised, as the enemy's displayed strength overturned their first impression.
They had just thought Jörmungandr was an idiot who couldn't see the situation. Now they realized that his comical actions might have been a mysterious ritual performed by the enemy.
"Captain, what do we do now?" A ninja from the Iwagakure unit asked his captain, a hint of fear in his eyes. He could tell that with their current strength Jörmungandr Iwagakure.
"Don't panic. Judging from the enemy's appearance, he should be a ninja skilled in Taijutsu. We have eighteen of us now, and we can wear him down with Ninjutsu." The Iwagakure captain was quite calm. He recognized Jörmungandr's strengths and immediately came up with a strategy to deal with Jörmungandr.
"Use Earth Release Technique together, coordinate with each other. As long as we can hold them off, we can wait for reinforcements," the Iwagakure captain said to his teammates. He knew that as long as they could hold off the enemy for a while, strong members of the village would come to their aid.
Therefore, he no longer hesitated and took the lead in using Ninjutsu. The other Iwagakure members also understood their captain's meaning and used their Release Technique to cooperate with his attack.
" Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears "
" Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld "
" Earth Release: Rock Avalanche "
In an instant, swamps, Earth Spear, and boulders rushed towards Jörmungandr.
They had a clear division of labor: appearing at Jörmungandr's feet to bind his feet in the swamp, falling rocks from the sky to block his leaping space, and then letting the sharp Earth Spear deliver the final blow.
If it were just an ordinary ninja, facing such an attack from the Iwagakure forces, they would absolutely be doomed.
Unfortunately, the Jörmungandr they faced today was not the ordinary ninja they remembered.
