Chapter 128: Clash

Doujin Artist:There it is! One of Aizen-sama's classic lines!

Curly-haired Guy:That Mangetsu guy is really full of himself, trying to act on his own? I say just finish him off on the spot.

Amegakure Village's Angel:No can do, Anzen-san still needs him as a tool.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac:Did Miss Kushina use a beauty filter for her Arrancar form or what? She looks like a totally different species compared to Kisame-san!

Shark-Faced Guy:?

Doujin Artist:Hahahahaha! Ruiko-chan, why'd you use Kisame-san as a comparison?!

Curly-haired Guy:Even without becoming an Arrancar, he's already not human. Honestly, he's more like a shark sashimi that can talk.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy:Poor Kisame bro, caught a stray hit for nothing.

Shark-Faced Guy:Well, I'm used to it. As long as you're all having fun.

Machete Girl:Kisame-san, you've got such a good temper.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac:Ah, sorry! I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just really felt that Kushina's Arrancar form didn't make her uglier—she actually looks even prettier.

Machete Girl:Yeah, I kinda feel the same. The mask turning into a crown didn't take away her beauty—it made her look even more elegant. If she was called the Blood Red Pepper before, now she should be called the Blood Red Princess.

Wig Guy:Well, not bad. (Expression: feeling something)

Machete Girl:Feeling something?

Doujin Artist:What the heck do you mean "feeling something"? You're seriously a pervert, wig man!

Wig Guy:It's not a wig, it's Katsura.

Curly-haired Guy:I actually think that Pakura's not bad either. Her mask turned into glasses, right? She gives off that smart and classy vibe. Plus, she's super loyal to the boss—feels kinda like the secretary who's always by the big boss's side.

Amegakure Village's Angel:Oh? So that's how Gin sees it?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac:That tone from Konan-san…

Doujin Artist:Is… is she jealous?

Curly-haired Guy:No no, I was just joking! Girls with glasses are too seductive anyway, they don't look like decent women at all! Trash like that doesn't deserve to be near our boss, she should be kicked out!

After sending that message, Gintoki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The rest of the group quickly helped change the topic.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac:Ahem, Anzen-san probably leveled up her acting skill quite a bit this round, huh?

This is an Actor:Already at 90%. Once this final battle is over, it'll definitely be complete.

Doujin Artist:Ah, that means Anzen-san's ability will be available for upload! Can't wait!

Curly-haired Guy:With the little points we've got? What are you even waiting for? Kid, go home and keep dreaming. In dreams, anything's possible.

Doujin Artist:Shut up! So what if I can't buy it, can't I still look?

Curly-haired Guy:I just want you to face the harsh truth—you're broke.

Soul Society's Villain:You two, enough. Let's focus on the stream.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac:Huh? Looks like they're splitting up?

On the screen.

Senju Tobirama, Namikaze Minato, and the others had broken into three teams. Tobirama went with the Third Raikage, Minato with Uchiha Shisui, and the Second Tsuchikage went solo.

Out of them, the Second Tsuchikage moved the fastest. Using his flying and invisibility skills, he sped through enemy lines and rushed northwest.

Curly-haired Guy:Coach! I'd like to report a cheater!

Amegakure Village's Angel:It's fine. That path's a dead end anyway. Once he reaches the end, he'll realize… the real clown is himself.

Doujin Artist: Pfft. Where did you even learn that weird joke, Konan? Don't tell me...

Amegakure Village's Angel: It was from Anzen-san.

Machete Girl: Looks like the Second Hokage's side started fighting. It's pretty intense.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: No good. Those Arrancar don't seem like they stand a chance. They're just getting completely beaten down.

Doujin Artist: Makes sense though. Anzen-san already said before that normal Arrancar aren't even at Kage-level strength.

This is an Actor: Looks like it's over.

Eastern Corridor District.

"You're really strong," said Senju Tobirama softly as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking a bit beat up. "So you're one of Aizen's elite?"

Standing across from him was an Arrancar covered in wounds, with a huge hole blown open in his left chest. Even with such a fatal injury, he still spoke with a hint of mockery. "Elite? You sure think highly of me, Lord Second Hokage of the Leaf!"

Rip.

The Arrancar tore open his sleeve, revealing his shoulder. "See this number? I'm just Number 74. Just a nobody. The real elite, they've all got single-digit numbers. They're called the Espada!"

Espada?

Tobirama's pupils shrank. Suddenly, there was a loud boom from the side. Through the cloud of dust, the bulky body of the Third Raikage came crashing down like a ragdoll, landing right at his feet. A small figure slowly stepped out of the smoke.

"You… you're…" Before Tobirama could even understand what had just happened, the injured Arrancar started shaking. "Lady Ringo Yu Yuri?"

"Well, look who it is. Keigo, right?" Ringo Yu Yuri rested her zanpakuto on her shoulder and glanced at the Arrancar. "You're a mess."

"I'm sorry…"

"No need to apologize. You're about to die anyway." As she spoke, Ringo slowly walked forward, her sharp eyes studying Tobirama. "So you're the Second Hokage. I've heard a lot about you."

"Who are you?" Tobirama's face turned serious. He could feel a deadly sense of danger from this Arrancar girl.

"Espada Number Eight, Ringo Yu Yuri." Before her words even finished, she suddenly vanished.

Splat.

Tobirama's eyes widened as a stream of blood shot out from his right shoulder.

"Nice to meet you." She flicked the blood off her blade and grinned, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
