In a flash, the situation had turned worse than anyone could imagine!
Previously, those 500,000 White Zetsu Army members, although greater in number, had their spirits severely damaged by Jiraiya's Ultimate Genjutsu, so their being controlled was still barely understandable.
But these 10,000 ninja and samurai before them were now fully energized and in high morale—this state being controlled by genjutsu truly exceeded their understanding.
In fact, they all felt a vague sense of unease.
Looking at the opponent's calm and composed expression, was this really the limit of his power?
Who knows, maybe with another snap of his fingers, even they would be controlled?
Thinking this, many people's bodies shivered involuntarily.
Seeing this, A bellowed furiously, "Stop showing such shameful behavior! No matter how strong he is, he's just a genjutsu user!"
Onoki quickly added, "That's right! The genjutsu user's physical body is his greatest weakness!"
Hope flared among the crowd. Oh right! If you kill the enemy's physical body, the genjutsu would naturally collapse!
At this moment, however, Mifune loudly reminded them, "Don't be careless! Lord Aizen's Kenjutsu is extremely powerful—no one in the Land of Iron can match him. He's not some weakling genjutsu user you're thinking of, okay?"
Although Obito had previously emphasized this point, everyone's focus at that time was on how to deal with Nagato and the Impure World Reincarnation army. Not many people knew this information.
Therefore, after hearing Mifune's warning, everyone felt a bit stunned.
"He's a genjutsu user, right?"
"If Leader-sama can be a Medical Ninja first and still be powerful, then a genjutsu user like him having incredible Kenjutsu makes total sense!"
This little twist wasn't enough to scare them.
[Kenjutsu]? Could it really be as terrifying as his genjutsu?
"Attack together! Don't give him time to react!" A roared furiously, charging forward at the forefront.
Aizen unsheathed the long sword hanging at his waist and casually slashed out.
Lightning coiled around A's entire body like a raging humanoid bolt of lightning. After entering Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his defense and speed had reached their peak—he actually raised his hand in a martial arts chop to meet the attack!
Boom!
Where the hand chop met the sword, even space rippled outward, with shockwaves radiating in all directions.
This stalemate didn't last long.
"Such unbelievable speed! Such overwhelming power!" A had this thought flash through his mind, before blood sprayed from his body and he flew backward.
Aizen could be seen as a miniature Ten-Tails. Compared with the Ten-Tails' power, the outcome of challenging it in a contest of strength wouldn't be good.
Flying back, A grabbed a Katsuyu and placed it on his body, then shouted loudly, "Under no circumstances should you confront him head-on, and definitely don't try to block his slashes directly!"
Everyone's mouths twitched slightly—they weren't idiots, or reckless like certain people. Of course, they wouldn't be stupid enough to try blocking such obviously powerful attacks head-on!
As Aizen was cutting down the Raikage, Onoki, who had hidden behind him, raised his hand and fired a Dust Release attack.
However, Aizen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head—without even turning around, he simply calmly shifted his body slightly, effortlessly dodging the Dust Release!
Next, Aizen's figure flickered. Before Onoki could react in shock, he reappeared beside him and swung his sword down.
Onoki intended to dodge, but his body felt detached from his mind. He couldn't move at all, watching helplessly as the blade descended toward his head.
"Am I going to die?" Onoki lamented, when suddenly he noticed the sword hesitated slightly mid-strike.
That instant hesitation was what allowed Second to fly over and carry him away.
Once out of Aizen's line of sight, Onoki finally regained control of his body. "Lord Second, thanks to you... Wait, your left arm?"
Second's left arm area was empty—he had obviously lost it during the rescue!
Second wasn't bothered. "I'm an Impure World Reincarnation now. My arm can regrow. But you all need to be careful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone grew solemn.
Among this group of powerful individuals, they had tested his might twice already. The first time, the Raikage had been seriously injured. The second time, the Tsuchikage hadn't even managed to fight back. Even with several Kage rescuing him, the Second Tsuchikage still lost an arm—this strength was absolutely outrageous!
Aizen didn't focus on Second and Onoki, but instead looked sideways. "Magnet Release? Looks like I'll have to use a wooden sword next time!"
Under his gaze, Third Kazekage was fine, but Rasa felt his scalp tingling.
Didn't they just see what happened to the Second Tsuchikage? Even with assistance from the Third Kazekage, his arm still got severed!
Especially when Onoki loudly reminded them, "Don't look directly into his eyes, or you'll be caught in a Genjutsu!"
Even someone as strong as Onoki could fall victim to Genjutsu. Everyone felt a jolt of alarm, but then quickly thought it made sense.
The opponent's wide-area Genjutsu could affect hundreds of thousands of people. Now he was focusing that power directly—its effect must be terrifying!
Still, this made the situation even harder to handle!
Fortunately, Minato swiftly moved through the crowd, leaving behind technique markers.
"Fellow seniors, don't worry. If danger arises, I'll bring you all away immediately!"
With the guarantee of Flying Thunder God, everyone relaxed slightly.
Then, the strongest dozen or so Kage charged forward together toward the enemy, while the others formed a ring, holding back the surging tide of oncoming attackers.
After all, the space around the enemy was limited. If two thousand people really tried to attack simultaneously, most of them probably wouldn't even manage to lay a hand on him!
Faced with the joint assault from over a dozen Kage-level fighters, Aizen showed no panic. His sensory perception was extremely sharp. Even with his eyes closed, he could sense their every movement.
Combined with his incredible neural response and physical speed, he easily dodged their attacks, even finding time to counterattack. He seemed completely in control!
After a few dozen seconds, the group grew anxious.
Their ability to attack full-force relied on others working hard to block the enemy army.
Right now, six hundred thousand enemies were pouring in endlessly toward those holding the defensive line!
They could handle the monster army, but for their controlled comrades-in-arms, they simply couldn't bring themselves to strike hard!
Under this back-and-forth pressure, their living space was getting continuously compressed!
Seeing the situation deteriorate rapidly, Fugaku whispered to Shisui in the crowd, "Shisui, can your Genjutsu Nullification Field wake everyone up?"
Shisui smiled bitterly and replied, "My Genjutsu Nullification Field can only cover a circle with a radius of ten meters centered on me. Compared to the range of his genjutsu, there's a world of difference!"
"I see," Fugaku sighed, then immediately said, "Then you should use the Transformation Jutsu to change your appearance first. Don't draw his attention. Stick with us during the attack and activate your field once we're within ten meters of him!"
Shisui nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Itachi, standing beside them, cut in, "I'm coming too!"
