Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 249: Empire's Action

Why did the Quincy lose all its power?

This was a very sudden thing.

Fortunately, Kurosaki Masaki gave birth to Ichigo, and the power of the "Hollow" was inherited by him. Otherwise,
Without the balance of power from their own Quincy, the powers of the Hollows and Death Gods would come into violent and contradictory conflict, which ordinary humans, with their small and frail bodies, would simply be unable to bear.

Ishida Ryugen reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter.

With a clear and crisp "clang" sound, the cigarette butt flickered a few times in the flames and then burned into a brown-red color.

He took a deep breath and blew out a long smoke ring: "You are the God of Death, why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Quincy?"

His eyes are deep and his expression is complex.

"It doesn't make any difference, does it?"

Naruto shook his head and smiled slightly, "It's not something that can be seen by the naked eye that is called an influence."

"The Quincy"

"They are part of this world. The factors that cause their demise may also threaten other things in this world."

"The duty of the God of Death is to protect the three realms."

Ishida Ryugen didn't answer, but puffed hard on the cigarette. Soon, the brown-red heat spot burned the sponge filter. He shook his head and said, "You are really conscientious. Are you ready to take over the position of captain?"

Naruto just stared at him.

"I know the reason." Ishida Ryugen casually threw the cigarette butt down and stomped it out with his foot, "But I can't tell you."

The messages that came back from Kagura's heart were that both of these sentences were true.

"Can't you tell me?" Naruto narrowed his eyes.

Thinking of the issue that Ishida Ryugen is most concerned about
He paused: "Do you think my strength is not enough?"

Ishida Ryugen pulled out another cigarette and said calmly, "I heard from Uryuu that Soul Society has been through some serious things."

"I'm not sure if you don't have time or you haven't noticed."

"Now it seems."

"Obviously the latter."

Naruto narrowed his eyes even more.

This is really shocking news.

Kagura could clearly tell from her mind's eye that every word he said was true. This person, who was far inferior to her and only possessed "captain-level" spiritual pressure, was really sure that something existed and she had not discovered it.

But with my own senses
What else could there be that I haven't discovered?

Of course, it's not absolute.

Such things do exist, such as Uchiha Madara's strange clones.

Ishida Ryugen stretched out his hand lazily, the cigarette butt burned a half circle of arc, and the green smoke dispersed: "Since no one has found it, then I naturally can't say it."

He threw the half-smoked cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out.

He reached out, opened the door again, and pointed outside: "So."

"please."

Naruto didn't stand up, still sitting on the chair: "Is that all I can say?"

Ishida Ryugen said nothing and turned his head away.

The room fell silent.

It was not until more than an hour later that Ishida Ryugen became impatient and turned his head back: "Captain Uzumaki, I said you can."

I couldn't finish my words.

The chair was empty, and the blond figure had disappeared at some point.

Soul Society.

Naruto stood on the high tower of Seireitei, overlooking the streets big and small.

"Are you not going to ask any more questions?" Kurama jumped off Naruto's shoulder and looked up at it. "If I keep asking, he might give me an answer."

Naruto shook his head.

"Then why are we going back to Soul Society?" Kurama tilted his head, but didn't ask any more questions. He then raised another point that puzzled him: "Quincy won't come to Soul Society."

The Quincies and the Shinigami are mortal enemies.

They also have some understanding of that past history.

once
The Quincies prospered in the modern world, but because they refused to restrain themselves and exercise self-control, the Shinigami launched a siege on them, and in the end only a few rare lineages that posed no threat were left.

"Really?" Naruto asked back calmly and indifferently.

Jiu Lama was stunned and confused, and let out a "Wang" sound.

Can you?
No way.
"Ishida Ryugen, he said he wasn't sure if I would find out." Naruto frowned and spoke softly, analyzing further, "Why did he say that?"

"Just like if I am capable enough, I will definitely find it."

Kuroko tilted his head.

"I don't go to the human world often." Naruto continued, "If it is something from the human world, I was a little careless and didn't find it, which is not very normal."

"Just like... I've been to Karakura Town so many times, but I haven't found Muramasa, right?"

"He also said that Soul Society is in chaos and he doesn't know if we have time."

Clues were unraveled one by one, like unraveling a thread of onion.

Kurama suddenly realized something and said, "Is that so? So Naruto, you suspect that the culprit who caused the Quincy to lose its power is in the Soul Society?"

Naruto nodded.

"I thought that guy was really secretive and wouldn't say anything." Jiu Lama let out a long breath, "I didn't expect he would hint at it."

"If I had known this, why would I have been so secretive? It's really troublesome."

Naruto looked into the distance.

The 7th Division was patrolling and caught several members of the 11th Division who violated the rules and used knives. They were scolding them severely. The 7th Division was the only team that could make the 11th Division unable to stand up. The captain was a person who was almost as powerful as the captain-in-chief. Although the deputy captain was a fox, he could fight back and forth with his own captain.

The second squad shuttled back and forth, and the black shadows flickered.

The Fourth Squad was in a hurry, walking in small steps very quickly.

Seireitei is busy and full of life.

"He's not worried that we know about that existence." Naruto said softly, his tone calm, "He's worried that something in his hand will be discovered and known by others."

Jiu Lama looked up, his big eyes filled with little doubts.

Aren’t you afraid of knowing that existence?
Something else?
"There are more ways to know about that existence than just through Ishida Ryugen." Naruto lowered his head and smiled slightly, "But the thing in his hand, I'm afraid only he knows it."

Jiu Lama subconsciously asked: "Who else?"

"Who else?" Naruto shook his head and answered with a rhetorical question.

First team team building.

Kurama stared at Yamamoto Genryusai and suddenly realized something.

Right
Is there anyone in this world who knows more than an old man who has lived for thousands of years?

"Quincy?" Yamamoto Genryusai sat upright, as silent as a stone Buddha. "Why would you want to know this?"

"Most of the Quincy in the world today have lost their powers," Naruto replied, "and I suspect the source of their power loss is hidden in Soul Society."

Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes sparkled: "Oh?"

"Is the source hidden in Soul Society?"

"Have you found any evidence?"

Naruto shook his head.

"Same as Aizen's situation?" The old man lowered his head and his tone became more serious.

Naruto thought, "Not quite the same."

"Captain, please tell us about the battle with the Quincy first."

Yamamoto Genryusai put down his cane and looked nostalgic: "The battle with the Quincy?"

"That is the greatest killing force I have created since I formed the Gotei 13."

He seemed to be reluctant.

"Ignorance is not a sin. The existence of the Quincy certainly affects the balance of the three realms." The captain continued, "But what they do and their understanding are all for the purpose of protecting souls and humans from the influence of the Hollows."

"But they were stubborn, so I had to do it myself."

"The Quincy are a group of extremely talented people who can manipulate spiritual energy in human bodies. They are very powerful, but the Gotei 13 at that time were even more powerful."

“We beat them.”

“It’s just that they didn’t kill them all.”

"The leader of them is a fellow named 'Yhwach'. He is almost as powerful as me, but he was defeated by the Zanka-dachi in the end."

"But I didn't kill him. I just took away his strength, consciousness, and heartbeat."

Jiu Lama muttered: "What's the difference between this and killing?"

Yamamoto Genryusai took a quick glance.

The little fox shrank his head and asked another question: "Then why not kill him?"

The captain glanced at him again and still said nothing.

He refused to answer the question.

The nine-tailed Lama bared his teeth, arched his waist and raised his hips, rubbing his hands together, eager to pounce and scratch a few times.

"He is very strong, as strong as the captain-general." Naruto repeated what he had just said. Yamamoto Genryusai raised his hand and tapped his knee: "So, you are doubting Yhwach?"

"I'm afraid it's hard for him to have the ability to drain away the world's Quincy."

"If he has."

"I think he won't give up using this ability when fighting me."

Naruto poked his head out and shook his head: "If it wasn't him, but some other unknown existence, wouldn't it be more terrifying?"

Yamamoto Genryusai narrowed his eyes.

"How do you want to investigate?" he asked.

Naruto shook his head, "We're already starting an investigation."

The Seventh Squadron's barracks.

The third seat Hinamori Momo had a stern face and spoke in a serious tone.

The other officers and soldiers were a little nervous. This kind of atmosphere usually did not appear only in the Seventh Division - as the "Inner Court Guard", they were almost the last line of defense. Public opinion that made them nervous would inevitably make other divisions nervous as well.

"This is the captain's order." Hinamori Tao clapped her hands, "Please work hard for the next few days."

"The captain was very unhappy with the incidents involving Aizen and Muramasa."

"He hopes that you can use this time to check all the big and small, various corners and easily overlooked places in the Soul Society to see if there are any safety hazards."

Many young soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead, the faces of the officials at the table became solemn. It was not difficult for them to hear that these words were not as simple as they sounded.

"Each officer will lead a team of three." Hinamori Tao continued, "The locations that have been checked but are uncertain will be marked on the map. Each team will get a part of the map later and search within the limited area of ​​the map."

"If there are any confirmed omissions, please do not take the initiative to attack. Mark them on the map and wait for the captain to arrange follow-up personnel."

She paused and said in a serious tone: "The captain asked me to tell you."

"Be careful and put your own safety first."

This last sentence made many senior officials feel a little creepy.

Although two incidents had happened before, both of which led to the breach of Soul Society, there was no doubt that it was still the safest place in the entire Soul Society.

In such a place.

In Seireitei
All about your own safety?
Is it becoming unsafe in the Soul Society?
"The captain should be worried." An officer consoled himself, "After all, those things happened."

"That's right, it's just an inspection of the Seireitei, which is the task we are supposed to do anyway." Another officer spoke up, nodding and agreeing seriously, "It's just a little more detailed than usual, there's nothing to worry about."

Hinata Mori is small in stature, but she is very organized when it comes to doing things.

The teams are divided one by one, and there is almost no duplication of positioning.

They set off.

At this time, in Rukongai.

Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika of the 11th Division stood in the center of the dead silent village and turned their heads to look around.

"There is no trace of the soul." Ayase Gawa Yumichika frowned, his tone a little heavy, "It's all gone."

Madarame raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Look, footprints."

On the ground, there were messy, mottled marks, all mixed up in a chaotic mess.

"I saw it." Ayase Gawa Yumichika shook his head, "It seems like these souls were driven together, and then disappeared due to some external force."

Madarame clicked his tongue, "This gives me a very bad feeling."

Ayase Gawa Yumichika looked at him and said nothing.

But a name "Aizen Sosuke" popped up in the minds of both of them at the same time.

The last incident of "disappearance of soul" was related to this person.

Now, he is imprisoned.

But who knows if the next enemy will be as powerful as Aizen.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

There have been too many troubles in Seireitei over the years.

Squad 12, Visuals Department, Hueco Mundo Supervisory Division.

"Oh no! Something has happened in Hueco Mundo." A researcher stood up and said in a serious tone, "A large number of Hollows are disappearing."

"In the 6603-8983 area, one hundred and seventy-two Hollows have been annihilated."

He is just the beginning.

Gradually, other personnel also began to report.

Different regions, different quantities.

The angle between Soul Society and the real world is shifting.

The balance is being broken.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's face was solemn. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid the only ones who can be destroyed by the Hollows are those guys."

"But how dare they?"

"And how did you do that?"

There is a big difference between "eliminate" and "disappear".

When Xu dies, even if he is swallowed by the Great Void, the soul he represents will not disappear, but will only become a part of the Great Void, transferring from one place to another, and its mass will not decrease.

But what the 12th Division is monitoring now is the "destruction of the void". That part of the spirit particles are also destroyed, and the mass it represents is reduced.

If the weight of Hueco Mundo decreases and the weight of Soul Society remains unchanged, the balance will gradually tilt to one side and the world will lose control.

"I'll go and inform them." Kurotsuchi Mayuri stretched out his hand and made a hand seal, preparing to dismiss his shadow clone and go tell Uzumaki Naruto and Captain Yamamoto about this matter.

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

A soldier stood up suddenly: "Balance is being restored."

"The impact of the Hollow's annihilation is fading."

Kuroshio Mayuri was stunned.

Balance will not be restored inexplicably.

He leaned over to take a look at the screen. On the map representing the "Hyperion Mundo", a red dot was flashing, and it was obvious that the Hypostasis was still disappearing.

Hueco Mundo is still losing weight.

But now the balance has occurred, which means
Soul Society is also losing weight.
If the mass of Hueco Mundo decreases, it means the Hollows are destroyed. If the mass of Soul Society decreases, it can only be the souls that are destroyed.

Or those guys?

No, I'm afraid that's unlikely. They probably don't have the guts to invade Soul Society.

so.
Was it those guys who took action?

Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. His eyes seemed to penetrate the concrete barrier and reach the distant sky.

He pulled his hand away, and his tone became calmer: "Have you contacted that guy in Hueco Mundo?"

"Not yet. Communications are blocked." The green catfish answered, his hands moving quickly. He was still trying to figure out how to eliminate the inexplicable influence of the spiritual wave.

Hueco Mundo.

"It's really interesting." A man with a side-parted hair, wearing a military uniform and a white Quincy cloak, stood arrogantly in the sky, staring at a few guys who were standing on the sand and were full of hostility towards him.

"The God of Death is colluding with the Void."

Asido held the knife and spat viciously: "You are even worse at talking than me. I am only stationed here to guard Hueco Mundo under the order of the Soul Society."

"It's not"

"What do you mean by collusion?"

He spoke fiercely, but he was extremely cautious in his heart. The oppressive feeling brought to him by the enemy in front of him, although not less than that brought by Uzumaki Naruto in the past, was no less than that brought by the fox. This was an extremely powerful opponent.

But the power possessed by this guy is not that of a god of death, but that of a Quincy.

Can a Quincy possess such power?

“What’s the difference?” The man standing in the sky said in a cold tone. He waved his hand and pulled out a long sword. A knot-like arc composed of spirit particles appeared on the blade. This was his weapon. “Whether it’s the Death God or the Hollow, they are all targets we want to eliminate.”

"You joining forces at this time means that you are in cahoots with us."

Asido raised his sword, chanted the Word Spirit, and performed the Shikai: "Who the hell are you?"

He smiled softly.

He bowed politely and said, "I forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is, Kiruji Opi."

"Captain of the Invisible Empire's Hueco Mundo hunting force."

"I have been ordered to come to Hueco Mundo to conduct a mixed selection of Hollows and Arrancars."

"While I am speaking, this is your last chance."

"If you want to live, you must surrender to us at all costs. Just kneel down and lick my shoes like a slave."

"if."

"If you still want to resist, then I will have to conduct a preliminary screening and eliminate all of you disobedient guys."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, pushed up his glasses, and a ferocious and complacent smile appeared on his face.

"Let's start having fun."

"Little ones."
