Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 225: Nilu and Contact

Chapter 225: Nilu and Contact (7K big chapter!)
There are many death gods who do not believe this statement.

They drew their swords one after another and began to chant.

Can.
Just like Abarai Renji, no matter what, it is impossible to solve the mystery again.

Muramasa smiled contemptuously.

He waved his hand, creating a dark crack in the sky, tearing the space apart and forming a passage like a "black cavity".

"So."

"The war between Zanpakuto and Shinigami begins now."

The other Zanpakutō spirits obeyed his words, walked into the passage, and disappeared.

Until all the sword spirits except himself have walked in.

"Captain, I'll take this trophy." Muramasa turned his head and made eye contact with Kyoraku Shunsui. They came into close contact, and it seemed as if a fire visible to the naked eye burst out. "Goodbye, Death Gods."

He turned around, walked into the dark cavity and disappeared.

The waning moon hooked onto the crack, like a zipper, slowly stitching it up.

The Death Gods are silent.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief. The sense of threat and powerlessness that this guy brought to them was the greatest.

It's different from the feeling when facing a strong person.

Losing is more painful than anything else.

Especially this kind.
The power that can sustain oneself and keep alive is obtained after hundreds of years of hard work.

"He's leaving now?" Dong Shilang was surprised, staring at the sky where there were still a few black marks remaining, his eyes and tone full of disbelief.

Ukitake Jushiro said softly: "Perhaps they feel that their current strength is not enough to conquer Seireitei?"

"Even if the captain and Naruto are not here."

"Even if we can no longer use the power of our Zanpakutō."

"But the ghost path and the white fight should not be underestimated."

"Not to mention Naruto could be back at any moment."

After all, there are only a few Zanpakutō that can "Shikai". No matter how strong Muramasa's power is, it will be of no use to those Shinigami who have not yet awakened the power of "Zanpakutō". How can you "whisper" something that does not exist?

There are not many "companions" around him.

"I'm afraid it's worse." Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head, "The power of the god of death."

"It's not just in Seireitei."

Ukitake tilted his head and looked at his friend: "Present world."

"Proxy Grim Reaper, and the Masked Legion?"

His expression was inevitably serious.

Soi-Feng came over and added, "And Miss Yoruichi and that guy."

There is no doubt that Ichigo Kurosaki possesses the strength of a captain and can fight against Kenpachi Zaraki without being at a disadvantage.

Ginjō Kūgo also has similar strength.

Including the Masked Army and the Puyuan Store
There are as many as eight guys in the world who possess captain-level strength. If their Zanpakutō were to "betray" them, the devastation this power would bring to Soul Society would be simply immeasurable.

"What should we do?" Ukitake looked at Kyoraku Shunsui.

He scratched his head and said, "Send someone to inform the people in the present world."

"As for the rest, let's wait until Naruto comes back and see what he thinks."

Naruto's strength is already above those of them.

at least
It's not hard to tell how satisfied the captain is with Naruto.

He is talented and has a good personality. Although he is a little young, his overall rating is higher than that of Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro.

He is being trained to become the next captain.

Otherwise, no matter what, the affairs of Hueco Mundo will not be handled by the 7th Division, which is responsible for the "Inner Court Guard".

Now, the captain is sealed.

The burden of "acting captain-general" should fall into the hands of the person who should hold this power.

"I thought you would feel a little uncomfortable." Ukitake smiled.

Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head and yawned loudly: "Am I that kind of person? Shishiro, you don't know my personality well."

"It's great that Naruto showed up. Don't you think the teacher has aged a lot over the years?"

"And he's much more suitable than me."

between them talking.

The Seventh Division was already busy taking inventory of the damage to the inner court's buildings.

The 4th Division dealt with the casualties.

Although those Zanpakuto made a lot of noise, the damage was small. Only some buildings were destroyed and some people were injured. The worst case was that one unlucky guy had his hands and feet broken. No one was sacrificed.

This is the best news.

No one died, which somewhat dispelled the gloom that Muramasa had just brought.

In the sky, the wind dispersed the cumulus clouds, and the waning moon was still crescent, with dim light pouring down on the earth, reflecting the white objects in the Soul Society, casting a furry glow on them.

Ukitake smiled and waved, calling Rukia and Kaiyan to go to the real world and tell the real world's death god this news.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was fiddling with the communicator.

The Great Void Forest.

Asido's eyes widened, and after hearing the news from the communicator, his body trembled and his spiritual pressure fluctuated.

It is an almost similar emotional change than the excitement a person experiences when he sees the first living person, the first of his kind, after having been in loneliness, emptiness and helplessness for more than three hundred years.

The captain was sealed?

Zanpakutō rebellion?

How come the world became like this after I left Soul Society?

He couldn't understand it at all.

"Can it make the Zanpakutō betray me?" Kurama muttered, looking down at his claws, "What would happen if this ability was used on me?"

In a sense, it can also be considered a "Zanpakuto".

but.
As a "Zanpakuto", it owns another Zanpakuto.

Naruto was also very curious, but he had never come into contact with that kind of power, so he couldn't imagine what the scene would be like: "I'm not sure, but let me make it clear first, if something really goes wrong, I will not show mercy and will seal you up."

Jiu Lama curled his lips, looking down on and mocking: "I can't fall for that kind of trick."

"Even in the realm of Zanpakuto, I am the most special one."

Naruto nodded, looking serious, "I don't know who reacts so strongly when talking about the Sharingan."

Jiu Lama's eyes widened: "Things are different now!"

"That was a long time ago."

"It's different now, you just let"

It wanted to confidently say, "Even if Uchiha Madara comes, I am not afraid of him now." But after thinking carefully, "Uchiha Madara" is still alive.
What if he really appears in front of me and uses the Sharingan on me again?
Jiu Lama was still a little scared of the thing that had controlled him so many times.

Asido looked at them blankly, somewhat puzzled: "Such a thing has already happened in Seireitei, and you still..."

The atmosphere between this man and this fox was very relaxed.

The remarks just now did not disturb their hearts.

All I could feel from them was tranquility, just like at this moment in the Great Void Forest where there wasn't even a single Void around.

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi is not asking for help." Naruto shook his head and answered him with a smile, "Although it sounds a bit tricky, those guys have already evacuated. Even if we rush back now, we can't catch up with them."

Asido frowned: "But the captain."

"Yes, the captain has been sealed." Naruto's tone was still gentle, "Because he is very powerful, he is targeted."

"but"

"The captain is already very old. He will also grow old and even die one day."

"We can't always put the burden of Soul Society on him."

Asido has something else to say.

Naruto stood up, "Okay, I wanted to take it slow, but we don't have much time now, so let's hurry up."

"Come with me to the Night Palace now."

"I'll have to ask you to take over Hueco Mundo's affairs temporarily."

Asido nodded.

He followed Naruto and left the "Great Hollow Forest" after a long absence. It was a moonlit night, the wilderness, and the cool wind blowing on his face, which was completely different from the damp and dull environment in the forest.

He also came out when he was in the "Great Void Forest".

only.
He is clear about his purpose, which is to eliminate more Voids and reduce the number of Voids in the world.

That’s why I didn’t choose to come to the “sand layer”, but stayed in that forest.

Xuye Palace.

When Naruto and the others arrived, Harribel appeared in front of them carrying a child in green clothes.

"Lord Uzumaki, you're back so soon?" Her eyes moved and fell on Asido.

Naruto said softly, "It's an emergency. I need to go back to Seireitei now."

"He will be in charge of Hueco Mundo's affairs for the time being."

He waved his finger, pointed at Asido, and was about to introduce him.

The green guy in Harribel's hand raised his head and stretched out his finger: "I know!"

"The red-haired reaper of the Great Hollow Forest!"

"He's a very famous guy."

Naruto paused, "You know him?"

"Of course! A great Hollow killer who aims to hunt Hollows." The green guy shouted, "He is so powerful that some Achucas have died under his sword."

"All the great hollows should know him."

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to the female Arrancar who was carrying her.

Harribel nodded and said a simple "hmm" to show her agreement.

"Now that you know, it's easy." Naruto smiled, "His name is Ashido, thank you for your cooperation."

Harribel hummed again.

"Is this little guy also an Arrancar?" Naruto looked at the little guy in her hand.

The little girl, who was very brave and outgoing just now, immediately flapped her arms, glanced at Naruto and Kurama's faces, and was timid and scared. She grabbed Harribel's waist and tried to go around her back to hide her body.

but.
Harribel frowned and threw her hand.

The little guy was staggering and busy with his hands and shouting.

She took the opportunity to straighten her arms a little, moving the little guy further away from her waist, making it difficult for her to attack him. "Uzumaki-sama asked me to record an Arrancar with captain-level strength."

“She’s one of them.”

"Nelliel du Oudshvank."

"Her activities happen to be near the Xuye Palace, so we can capture her."

Kurama narrowed his eyes: "This kind of spiritual pressure and ability is at the level of a captain."

"Don't be fooled by her ridiculous appearance now." Harribel said coldly, "She is very strong. She was once the No. 3 among the Ten Espadas."

"It's just that I was attacked by Nnoitra and my mask was broken, which is why I'm like this now."

Naruto nodded, thinking.

He noticed that the little guy's gaze mostly stayed on Jiu Lama: "Nellielu, are you afraid of it?"

"Just call me Nilu!" she answered crisply, "This guy is scary."

"It destroyed the Kyonoya Palace in one go, and it almost affected my pet."

Asido's pupils dilated.

Looking at the ruins right in front of me, my heart was filled with turmoil.

这是
Destroyed by this little fox alone?
When I first saw it, I thought it was because Aizen started the war and the battlefield spread to the Hunnyah Palace, which caused this scene.

The result is just the power of a fox?
The most crucial and incredible thing is that this fox is only the deputy captain of "Uzumaki Naruto".

How strong will he be as the captain?
"I won't use that trick casually." Jiu Lama swung his tail, feeling very happy. It was a compliment for the guy who was once "NO.3" to say that he was terrible.

Naruto smiled and glanced at the crack on Nel's head: "Because the mask is broken, is there a loss of power?"

Nilu tilted her head, her eyes confused.

She was well aware of the "Espada", the high and mighty figures in Hueco Mundo.

But yourself too?
"She has lost her memory." Harribel answered for him, "The situation may be more complicated than that."

Naruto nodded, thinking.

"If you are interested, you can take her back." Harribel stretched out her hand and threw it away.

Nilu exclaimed: "Huh?"

"You just need to register your name, why are you giving me as a gift to the god of death?!"

She tilted her head and was fine when she saw Naruto's face, but when her eyes stopped on Kurama, she let out a "wow" and couldn't help crying: "He's still such a scary guy."

"Ruined!"

"Nello is going to become the toy of the god of death."

Naruto smiled, reaching out to touch the mask, and responded with a surge.

But to no avail.

This simple Huidao treatment has no effect on the "cracks in the mask".

"What kind of person was she before she lost her memory?" Naruto lifted her up.

Nilu is still crying.

Jiu Lama came over and said viciously: "If you cry again, I will eat you!"

Nilu held back her tears in response, her body twitching, tears still flowing out uncontrollably, but she made no sound.

"She is an outlier." Harribel said coldly, "She is a person who hates fighting and has a weak personality."

"It's unimaginable."

"And the Xu will hold the idea of 'peace'."

Naruto was surprised.

Peace?

A vain pursuit?
This really sounds like an incredible thing.

"She said that humans have fallen into the state of Hollows, and now that they have finally regained their rationality, they should not engage in meaningless struggles." Harribel continued, "No Arrancar agreed with her idea, but she was too strong, so no one objected."

Naruto nodded.

Harribel then stated her true purpose: "If possible, I hope Lady Uzumaki can heal her." Nilu opened her eyes wide and blinked, looking at the older sister who was different from herself, unusually mature, and a little scary.

"It would be better if the Hueco Mundo that you Death Gods need was ruled by someone like her." Harribel said softly.

Naruto looked at her, "You are very rational."

Harribel said nothing.

In the yellow sand, there was only the whistling sound of the wind, which crashed into the quartz-turned dead branches, making a shrill wail.

This proposal is feasible.

Kagura could detect with her mind's eye that what Harribel had just said was true.

This Arrancar named "Nel" might really be different from the others.

"Will you come back to Soul Society with me?" Naruto picked her up and held her gaze. "I'll find someone to try to treat you."

Nilu thought, tilted her head and looked into the distance.

Over there, there was a huge void with ox horns and another bug-like void, staring at him nervously and cautiously.

Days like this are also good.

but
"After the treatment, can I get my memory back?" she asked crisply.

Naruto nodded: "It's possible, but after all, I don't know the specific situation of you, so I can't make any guarantees."

Nilu focused on the first three words: "Is it possible?"

"Then let me say goodbye to my brother and pet, okay?"

Naruto nodded and threw it away.

Nilu screamed and cried, and the tears that she had just held back burst out again.

But at the same time, a chain was wrapped around her waist and she was gently lowered down.

"I was so scared, so scared!" Nilu "survived the disaster" and breathed a sigh of relief.

Life like this isn't that bad.

It is a very happy thing to be able to play with "brother" and "pet".

She just wanted to regain her old memories.

Her "brother" and "pet" did not stop her. Instead, after knowing this, they urged her on. They, like Benilu herself, hoped that she could regain her strength, even if her memory was not recovered.

After contacting Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the black chamber opened.

Squad 12, underground laboratory.

"Captain Kyōraku and the others are anxiously waiting for you." Kurotsuchi Mayuri smiled, "They're just waiting for you to come back."

"Oh, this little thing?"

"Is this a gift you brought back for me from Hueco Mundo?"

Nelue grabbed Naruto's calf and her eyes widened.

This guy who painted his face black and white is so scary!
Especially in his eyes.
It seems as if there is a greedy desire to devour itself.

"It's not research material." Naruto shook his head, rejecting his statement, and gave a detailed introduction to Nel's situation.

"A broken mask?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi thought. "She loves peace. No wonder Aizen didn't use the power of the Hogyoku to heal her."

"There is really no need to save people who disagree with your own ideas."

"Leave her treatment to me." He rubbed his hands and agreed readily.

This is a very interesting thing.

If you can study it clearly.
Maybe, even without using the power of "Hengyu", he could create "Hollow" or even "Hanpan".

Nel looked up and said pitifully, "Naruto, are you going to leave me here?"

"Don't worry, I warned him." Naruto leaned over and patted her head, "He wouldn't dare do anything to you."

"Although he looks scary, he is a very reliable person when it comes to serious matters."

Nel turned around and looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

Reliable?

really?
Kurotsuchi Mayuri grinned.

Nilu cried out "wow" and started crying again.

Jiu Lama couldn't bear to watch it anymore and nagged him to stop scaring the child.

It is indeed hard to imagine that a "hollow" person can be so cute, simple and innocent.

Nilu nodded. She was not very clingy. There was a very strange aura about Naruto that made her feel at ease.

Leaving her behind, Naruto headed towards the First Division.

In the conference room.

"Naruto is finally back." Kyoraku Shunsui tilted his head and looked at the blond figure walking in from the door, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Nirvana should have told you everything."

Naruto nodded and walked back to his seat, "Is the Captain-General really sealed?"

"It's impossible to confirm." Kyoraku Shunsui spread his hands and shook his head, "We asked Vice Captain Sparrowbe, and he didn't sense any special spiritual pressure fluctuations at the time."

“But it is true”

"The captain-in-chief was not found."

Naruto frowned, "Then let's treat it as the worst-case scenario."

"but."

"Is Muramasa a sealing sword? Or does it have the ability to seal others?"

This does sound a bit strange.

Seal the Captain-General.
This is not an easy task. Even with Naruto's current strength, there is only a slight hope for him to seal the captain-general. Even if "Ryujin Jakka" is not counted, his own spiritual pressure and free-fighting ability are a very scary possibility.

Kuchiki Byakuya shook his head: "No."

"After I returned, I consulted my grandfather and father, and they found out that the sword that Kuchiki Hibiki possessed did not have the ability to seal."

Naruto nodded but said nothing.

He is now suspicious.
Is the captain sealed or not? Or in other words, is he sealed or not?

After all, if the ability of "Ryujin Jakka" is mastered by others, it would be a very scary thing. It is not impossible that the captain-general seals himself just in case. He is a man who can do such a thing.

But no matter which possibility it is, it will not affect the final result.

That is.
The "Captain-in-Chief" is missing.

"Are Rukia and Haiyan the only ones going in the present world?" Naruto asked softly.

Ukitake nodded: "Just the two of them should be enough."

From the Shiba family, he can communicate with the Shihouin family.

Rukia has a good relationship with Ichigo, and can use him to contact Ginjo and the Masked Corps.

He realized something: "Naruto is worried that they will be attacked."

Naruto's head hadn't nodded yet.

"Didi"

A hurried voice sounded in Kurotsuchi Mayuri's arms, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

He reached out and took out a device that looked like a modern cell phone: "It's a rescue message."

"Reality, Karakura Town."

"Comes from"

"Rukia Kuchiki."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Naruto, waiting for his order.

"Captain Kuchiki of the 6th Division, Captain Saraki of the 11th Division, come with me to the human world." Naruto thought for a while and gave the order, "The rest of the divisions, prepare to fight."

"Captain Kyōra."

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded: "Don't worry, leave Seireitei to me."

"Naruto, you have to be careful."

"If possible, it's best to seal your knife."

Naruto responded.

The Central 46th Chamber has not had time to reorganize in such a short time, but even if it is reorganized, after being destroyed once, it will be difficult for them to extend their power into the Gotei 13 again.

Due to special circumstances, Naruto allowed no restrictions to be placed on him.

In this world, Karakura Town.

Rukia fled forward in panic.

Behind her, a woman with long white hair and a snow-colored kimono chases after her.

It was her Zanpakutō.

The embodiment of the name "Sode Shirayuki".

"How pitiful." Sode no Shirayuki chuckled, "Have you become so weak after losing my power?"

"No wonder it's so embarrassing time and time again."

Kuchiki Rukia gritted her teeth and breathed deeply.

These streets are familiar.

It’s almost here.

He had been attacked the moment he landed, and by now, his strength had been almost completely drained.

Sode Shirayuki gradually shortened the distance between the two and raised the white knife in her hand.

"It seems that this game of chasing each other should end here." Her voice was sharp, fierce and merciless, "Goodbye, Kuchiki Ruki."

With a clang——

When the blade slashed down, what collided with was not flesh or bones, but another knife.

A knife with a black body and a white blade.

Rukia looked up at the sword's owner, "Ichigo."

The orange-haired boy frowned: "Are there so many disasters in Soul Society?"

"The matter of Aizen has just ended, how come a new enemy has appeared?"

"Let's reminisce after I've dealt with her."

He swung his knife and chopped away.

Sode Shirayuki frowned and said coldly, "You're the one getting in the way."

She turned her wrist and swung the knife gracefully.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked straight ahead.

This knife seems familiar, as if I had seen it not long ago.

The tip of the knife was pointing in the direction drawn, which was right under Ichigo Kurosaki's feet. A circle of light appeared out of thin air, a dazzling white light, and a bone-chilling coldness.

"First Dance - Moon White".

This trick!

Ichigo Kurosaki was surprised, and he flashed away, leaving the range of the white light before the power exploded.

When I think back on it, no wonder I feel so inexplicably familiar with it.

"Isn't this Rukia's move?" he exclaimed, "How can you know this move!"

"I remember this was the ability of Rukia's Zanpakuto."

Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki spoke almost at the same time, uttering two similar sentences.

"She is my Zanpakutō."

"I am her Zanpakutō."

Exactly the same, just with a slight difference in the subject.

Zanpakutō?

Ichigo Kurosaki's pupils widened: "Are you practicing Bankai?"

"It's the Zanpakuto that's causing the trouble." Rukia shook her head. She had just started to speak when she was stopped abruptly: "Be careful!"

Xiu Baixue would not give them the chance to reminisce about the past.

He flipped his palm and stabbed the tip of the knife downwards.

"The second dance: White Ripples".

Frost and cold air surged across each other and hit Ichigo Kurosaki like a tidal wave.

Ichigo Kurosaki twisted his body and was about to fly upwards.

A breeze blew.

The cold air fluttered with the wind, curled up, and slowly dissipated.

The move was disintegrated.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia looked up at the sky at the same time.

A golden figure stood in the sky, with an irregular waning moon under his feet, and the wind dancing around his hands.

"Rukia, you must intensify your training when you return." The black-haired man who was also wearing the captain's haori beside the golden figure spoke in a cold voice, "You are in such a mess just because you lost the power of your Zanpakutō."

"The power of a Shinigami cannot be completely dependent on a Zanpakutō."

Sode no Shirayuki also raised her head, her expression serious: "Kushiki Byakuya."

"as well as--"

"Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto stared at the woman in the kimono and smiled, "Rukia, is this your sword?"

"it's beautiful."

"As expected, it is the most beautiful Zanpakutō in Soul Society."

Rukia pouted, "Thank you for the compliment, Captain Naruto."

"But at this moment, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"And it didn't sound like a compliment at all."

Jiu Lama grinned and said, "This is not a compliment."

It didn't finish its words as it turned its head and looked behind Sode Shirayuki.
