Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 214 Bankai and Leopard
Naruto and Kurama were watching attentively from the side.

Not just to keep Ichigo safe.

It’s more about learning.

Although he has practiced "Bankai" with Byakuya and Ichimaru Gin.

But I have never seen anyone else's Zanpakutō materialize.

After the two nine-tails spoke their true names and merged into one.

Whether it is the "Kurama" sword or its own sword, it must try "Bankai".

This kind of intuitive insight is very helpful.

In the training ground.

Ichigo inserted the knife into the "Tenshintai" without hesitation: "But this is the only way now, isn't it?"

"I don't want to be protected."

Spiritual pressure surged, and the knife in his hand shattered into pieces, spreading into a black line, pulling up and down.

A dark figure flashed out from the black line and rushed over Ichigo.

"Your faith is strong, Ichigo," he spoke in a steady voice.

He is a middle-aged man with a mature and steady appearance, wearing goggles and a black windbreaker.

Ichigo Kurosaki turned around and said, "Uncle Zangetsu."

"Did you hear everything?" Ye Yi looked at him.

Zhan Yue nodded: "Of course."

Ye Yi instantly stepped back to Naruto's side and said, "You can use any method you want to fight. Let's start right now."

The spiritual pressure spreads.

This place has become the domain of "Zhan Yue".

Naruto tilted his head and stared at the figure in the black windbreaker.

He seemed to be paying attention to himself just now?
Moreover, this kind of spiritual pressure is somewhat different from the real "power of death".

Kind of
The feeling between myself and Kyuubi.

Like the "other power" becomes the "power of death".

"This is the manifestation." Kurama stepped on Naruto's shoulder and muttered, "I thought it was a very gorgeous one."

"The source of power has appeared."

"Then this."

“That’s how we’ve been since the beginning.”

"Naruto, do you know how to use Bankai now?"

Kurama also has some understanding of "Bankai", which is one of the few things he has learned most seriously.

Fighting and "surrendering" are not the only ways.

So is reconciliation.

If it wasn't considered a reconciliation before, then the moment I told Naruto my name could be considered a true reconciliation no matter what.

"No." Naruto shook his head.

Jiu Lama was stunned and looked at him with his head tilted.

"I can use all your strength now." Naruto also said. Ichigo was beaten miserably. In the battle with "Zangetsu", he was at a disadvantage in all aspects. "If we go one step further."

"Then maybe you will need Jiu Lama's strength to go a step further."

He didn't finish.

Kurama thought for a moment, "So the reason you asked if you could bring them here is also for Bankai?"

It understood it very well, and it was it that told Naruto about this.

The source of power for these tailed beasts is the "Sacred Tree".

so.
If we want to go further, we have to trace back to the origin and try to obtain the power of the sacred tree?
Naruto nodded.

"You can give it a try." Jiu Lama responded with a grin, "It sounds interesting."

Naruto continued to stare at Kurosaki Ichigo.

This is a very talented young man.

He was unable to hold out at the beginning, but after a few tries, he was able to fight back. After a day, he was no longer at a disadvantage and was even able to force "Zhan Yue" into a disadvantage occasionally. However, the knife in his hand broke again and again, so he failed every time.

"It's not surrender, it's absorption." Jiu Lama saw some problems and thought about it.

Naruto nodded, "Ichigo's condition seems to be similar to ours."

"His sword is made of the power of the Quincy."

Jiu Lama flicked his tail: "Then can he have three swords?"

Naruto tilted his head to look at it.

Nine-Tailed Fox opened his paws and said, "Look."

"The Quincy's power is one, but what about the Hollow? And then there's his own Death God power, so that makes three?"

Naruto shook his head and smiled, "It's different."

"The reason I have two is because you are a separate individual, Kuroko."

"But the several powers in Ichigo's body all belong to him, so."

"There should be only one sword, and perhaps it will change its form due to the awakening of power, just like you, Kurama."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi came over and asked: "What are you talking about?"

Naruto and Kurama remained silent and did not say a word.

"Have we become so estranged now?" Shihouin Yoruichi sighed.

Naruto looked at her.

Not a word was said.

But his eyes seemed to contain a tremendous power that could express thousands of words.

"I think I can explain." She hesitated and tilted her head.

Naruto shook his head, "No need to explain, I understand now."

"Urahara told me before that this is a way to deal with Aizen."

Shihouin Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But understanding and acceptance are two different things." Naruto narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Aizen's matter is more important now."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi was stunned and lowered his head.

Sure enough, it was just as Urahara Kisuke said.

Naruto would not accept this.

Two days later.

"The 152nd sword." Zang Yue turned sideways and stood on a protruding rock, his expression calm and indifferent, "Do you really want to keep trying?"

Ichigo Kurosaki held out his hand: "Of course!"

He raised his head, his face was not gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were grinning with strong excitement: "I have seen through it!"

"There is no real Zangetsu here." The man in the black windbreaker said calmly.

"In other words, each one of them is a real Zangetsu." Kurosaki Ichigo held the nearest sword, "Just like you told me at the beginning."

"The more I rely on Zangetsu's power, the weaker the sword will become."

"Is it the knife that is fragile?"

“I am the vulnerable one.”

"so--"

"As long as I believe that this is the real knife, that's all."

He drew out the knife and slashed at Zangetsu.

The sword that collapsed was the one in Zangetsu's hand.

Kurosaki Ichigo grinned and panted: "It seems that I won."

Zangetsu said nothing, his eyes passed Kurosaki Ichigo and fell on Uzumaki Naruto.

His body condensed and stretched, just as it had appeared, and a long line of black spiritual pressure surged and fell onto the sword in Ichigo's hand.

"The swastika is solved, the sky is locked and the moon is cut."

Kurosaki Ichigo shouted, spitting out the name that had just emerged in his mind.

The spiritual pressure entangled him, causing his body to change.

The knife no longer looked like a "kitchen knife", but a "katana" style knife that was completely black.

The Death Tyrant outfit on his body was replaced by a windbreaker.

The spiritual pressure increased sharply, even surpassing the threshold of "third level" and reaching the second level.

"I've given an answer that will satisfy the knife." Kurama murmured.

Three days later, he appeared in the world.

An abandoned warehouse in Karakura Town.

"Urahara doesn't dare to come to see you." Yoruichi said softly, "So I have to come and take you to see these guys."

She extended her hand and transmitted spiritual pressure.

The void in front of him began to ripple.

After a while, the door of the warehouse opened from the inside.

"Hey, Miss Yoruichi, and Naruto." A blond man walked out, grinning and greeting cheerfully, "Kisuke told us about this a long time ago. It's really slow for him to come so late."

"Captain Mako, long time no see." Naruto grinned.

Hirako Mako waved his hand: "What do you mean captain? I am no longer one, and Naruto, aren't you the captain now?"

"Just call me Mako."

"Come in first."

He called out to a group of people who walked in.

All the Shinigami who had to defect during the "Hollowization Incident" are here.

After simple greetings.

Mako Hirako looked at Ichigo, "How much do you know about the Hollows?"

Ichigo glanced at Naruto and said, "Uncle Uzumaki only told me that I have the power of a Hollow within me and that I should learn to master this power from you."

"And tell me."

"Although it is the power of the Hollow, there is no need to resist it. There are quite a few Death Gods who have mastered this power."

Hirako Mako chuckled, "You are still as gentle as ever."

"but."

“That’s quite true though.”

"But it is a hollow power after all. It is ugly and evil."

As he spoke, he suddenly shouted: "Ah, that damn guy Aizen, if it weren't for him, this wouldn't have happened!"

Ichigo Kurosaki's face was solemn.

Naruto smiled and reassured him, "Okay, it won't be long."

Hirako Mako curled her lips and continued, "Naruto, do you want to seal him first?"

"Your technique is really useful."

Naruto shook his head, "No."

"Unlike you, the Hollow is Ichigo's power. It's not a separate power, but a part of it."

Hirako Mako nodded: "Is that so."

"Then we have to do it forcefully."

"Don't worry, even if your sanity is devoured by the Hollow, Naruto is here and can save you at any time."

Ichigo Kurosaki nodded nervously and bowed in greeting: "Yes, I'll leave it to you then."

He thought about it, looked at the uncle beside him, and called out a name that he thought was appropriate: "Uncle Pingzi."

Hirako Mako grinned, tilted his head, and looked at the blond boy: "This is incredible."

"In such a short time, Naruto, you have grown to such a reassuring level."

Naruto smiled, "More than a hundred years, that's not short."

Mako Hirako waved, leading Ichigo deeper into the warehouse.

Empty Town.

Above the sky, an eyeball shattered.

The information is transmitted back to Hueco Mundo.

Inside Xuye Palace.

An Arrancar with blue hair and a mask still on his right cheek raised his head and shouted, "Lord Aizen, the boy you've been eyeing has returned to the human world!"

"Do you want to act now?"

Aizen turned sideways and supported his head with his right hand: "Don't worry, Grimmjow."

"Do you see the blond captain in the image?"

The blue-haired Arrancar nodded.

"He is Uzumaki Naruto, the captain of the 7th Division, a very powerful man." Aizen said softly, "He has the ability to detect our surveillance."

"But they didn't destroy it, they just wanted to show it to me."

"No matter who it is, just kill him." Grimmjow curled his lips and didn't care.

Aizen smiled softly, "I told you, he's very strong."

"You are all the fruits of my cultivation."

"It can't be destroyed easily before it's put to use."

"It's enough to know that Kurosaki-kun has returned to the human world."
