Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 254: The Horn Sounds! War! (7K)

The Invisible Empire.

Yhwach sat on the throne, staring at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him, half paralyzed and lazily raising his hands to support his head.

"Gerald failed," he whispered, "Even with that kind of power, he was still killed."

He stretched out his hand.

The blue spiritual light surged and fell back into his hand.

"It's a shame that there's only one copy of material like his."

Although he said so, there was no change in his expression.

"But Gerard's death is not meaningless."

"The ability of immortality can indeed rival Uzumaki Naruto's Zanpakuto to a certain extent."

He paused at this point and glanced at the only person who was half-kneeling.

"Azkielro Ibon, you look so miserable."

“It doesn’t look like the results were very good.”

"He is just a good boy who has watched the battlefield a few times but has not yet been cast into iron and blood."

The man who was named lowered his head and said in a panicked tone: "Your Majesty, your subordinate, I am fighting with Kurosaki Ichigo."

"Just as planned, I lured Ichigo Kurosaki into performing his Bankai, but at the most critical moment."

"The star has no effect on him."

Yhwach exclaimed softly: "Ineffective?"

"Yes." He carefully reached into his arms and took out a round badge with five equal lines engraved on it. "Your Majesty, it cannot be taken."

Yhwach raised his hand and gently hooked it, and the badge flew towards him.

"Indeed not."

"This is not your problem."

Azkielro Ibon still kept his head down, staring at the ground, not daring to speak.

"Ichigo Kurosaki is a very special person."

"It's normal for the Star Chapter's ability to fail."

Yhwach threw it casually and threw it back.

Azkielro Ibon was busy grabbing the star badge, with a look of slackness on his face.

Give things back to yourself.
Does this mean that I won’t be punished?
Yhwach continued to support his head, hooked his fingers, and chuckled: "You are not without fault. Being able to verify this matter can even be said to be a meritorious service."

"so."

"What kind of reward should I give you?"

Azkielro Ibon subconsciously raised his head and instinctively cast his gaze towards the hand of Yhwach holding the blue light ball.

Yhwach noticed, but shook his head and chuckled, "Want the power of 'M'?"

"It's not for you."

Azkielro Ibon lowered his head in panic: "I dare not."

"M" is a holy word, a word that once belonged to "Gerald Valkyrie".

Yhwach is the source of all Quincies.

He has the power to give and to take away.

In the Quincy group, there is a group of people with a high status, who are called "cadres" by ordinary Quincy, and are named "Stern Cross Knights".

They are powerful and have been granted a power called "Holy Words" by His Majesty.

Every word has a completely different power.

Like "Gerald Valkyrie", the power of "miracle" he uses is the power of the holy word called "M", but because of his special identity as the "Heart of the Soul King", the power of the holy word appears to be particularly strong and unreasonable on him.

Yhwach raised his finger and said, "Then I will grant you a different honor."

He grinned.

Azkielro Ibon looked up again, his eyes longing.

Blue light blossomed at his fingertips, surging with brilliant light, flying and pouring out, landing on Ibon who looked eager.

Accompanied by a voice.

"Let you become the cornerstone of peace."

The light shone on Ibon, but it did not love him, it was hot, unforgiving and cruel.

Swallowed his whole body.

Burned, then died.

The crowd around was silent and cautious.

Yhwach stood up.

"No need to show that expression. The Invisible Empire only needs useful talents at this time. As for this mediocre and incompetent guy, let me take back the power that was bestowed upon him."

"Although Hueco Mundo has not been completely conquered."

"However, Seireitei also gave up the intention of defending under our offensive."

"Just go and capture a few more of these Arrancars."

He reached out and grabbed the shadow.

"Compared to these unimportant things, we have more important things to consider."

"For example"

Shadows fluttered and clouds shifted, distorting the shape of a person.

There are black and white stripes on his face and he wears strange metal ornaments on his head.

"We always ignore those who seem inconspicuous." Yhwach said softly, "There are too many smart people in Soul Society, such as Hyoshubu Ichibei, Senjumaru, and Urahara Kisuke."

"Their brilliance will overshadow some of the guys whose brilliance isn't that strong."

"But Uzumaki Naruto--"

When he mentioned this name, some strange colors seemed to emerge in his eyes.

"People who have come into contact with him always experience some strange changes."

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi has undergone a transformation."

"Let's upgrade this guy's rank to 'Special' as well."

There was amusement in Youhabach's expression.

"Shadow Clone Technique", a power that does not exist in this world.

Regardless of any kind of creature.
Whether it's the Shinigami, Quincy, or Arrancar, if they disperse their spiritual power in a battle of equal strength, it's unlikely that they will have a good ending.

However, in the hands of Kurotsuchi Mayuri, this technique made him undergo a complete transformation.

The tall, thin man with long blond hair agreed and kept these words in mind.

"as well as."

"I'm afraid we can't wait that long."

"Declare war."

The tall and thin blond man agreed again.

Seireitei.

Inside the 7th Squad’s barracks.

The meeting is over and the captains are about to leave.

There was a hurried knock on the door outside.

Jiu Lama rushed over and opened the door. All the deputy captains had to wait outside the house, but it was the only exception and could stay inside.

It was the vice-captain of the 4th Division, Yuune Kotetsu.

"What's the matter?" Yamamoto Genryusai asked in a low voice.

"Vice-Captain Suzube has woken up." Kotetsu said timidly and anxiously, "He said that the group of Quincies that attacked him have the ability to seize Bankai."

"This matter is extremely urgent. I need to report it immediately."

Yamamoto Genryusai's face suddenly changed.

Others are incredible.

Naruto's expression remained unchanged. Strictly speaking, he had not yet mastered the power of "Bankai". The fact that the Quincy did not master this ability had little impact on him.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Seize Bankai?

This sounds like an interesting thing.

"A special ability evolved to target the god of death?" He grinned and asked frivolously.

Naruto looked at him.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri immediately retracted his neck and suppressed his expression that was unable to be suppressed by excitement.

He turned his head and asked: "Would it be convenient for the Fourth Division to transfer Vice Captain Sparrow to the Twelfth Division?"

“This thing is too troublesome.”

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Naruto, then reacted and turned to look at the captain.

Yamamoto Genryusai nodded: "This is the only way."

Hu Che Yongyin agreed and left respectfully.

Words like "seal" and "restriction" are understandable. After all, such means do exist and Naruto can do it easily.

But the word "seize" has completely different meanings.

Not only can it be disabled by using "Bankai".

There is even a sense of becoming someone else's property.

Just like "Muramasa".

But even Muramasa's ability is only to distort and deceive the senses of the Zanpakuto. The Zanpakuto still has self-awareness, to a certain extent.
They were deceived by Muramasa and chose to stand on the opposite side of the god of death.

Whatever the outcome, it can be said that they still have self-awareness.

There are also many Zanpakuto that can eliminate this influence.

Like Naruto's two swords
For example, in the Fourth Division, Yamada Hanatarō, although his Zanpakutō "Homaru" was forcibly materialized because of his weakness, he did not choose to stand on the side of Muramasa.

The same goes for Kyoraku Shunsui's two swords, which look "rebellious", but in fact Muramasa is just a fun thing between their master and servant.

The ownership of the knife was taken away, which was a terrible thing just by sounding.

Yamamoto Genryusai gave repeated instructions.

Tell the captain to be careful and let them inform those soldiers who are practicing "Bankai". Of course, there are also those soldiers who practice secretly and think that others don't know.

Squad 13 is going to contact the two substitute Shinigami and the group of Fullbringers.

Valkyrie's identity is the "Heart of the Soul King".

Other things are still unconfirmed, but at least one thing is certain.
The Quincies do have some interest in the "Fragments of the Soul King" and have already mastered some techniques for using them.

They dared to attack Hueco Mundo.

They will definitely have the courage to launch an attack on the Fullbringers, it's just a matter of whether they are willing to do so.

After they left one after another.

There were only three people and one fox left in the squad 7 barracks.

"Captain of the 12th Division of Nirvana." Yamamoto Genryusai said solemnly, "Several divisions have been dispatched to investigate the disappearance of souls in Rukongai."

"As the person in charge of monitoring the balance of the three realms, what do you think?"

He turned his back and stared at the fox lying in his original position, his tone low.

"It wasn't me who did it." Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his hand, stared at Naruto, and grinned, "Of course, I did have such a thought."

"But Captain General, you know how Captain Uzumaki is a guy who cannot stand seeing innocent victims."

"If I do this, I'll die."

Naruto narrowed his eyes, his expression sharp.

"While I was still trying to figure out what to do, how to tell Captain Uzumaki about this without getting beaten or scolded, the balance was already stable."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri spread his hands, and there was even a hint of disappointment and regret on his face, as if he had not done this.

That's his personality.

Know what not to do and know what the bottom line is.

But I always can't help but dance on the bottom line, swaying and testing the lower limit.

Afraid of being beaten to death, but also afraid of not being beaten.

Yamamoto Genryusai raised his head in silence, his eyes sharp, as if he saw through the roof of the 7th Division's barracks and directly into the sky, and murmured softly: "It seems..."

"They couldn't help themselves and took action."

they?

Naruto also raised his head.

Are you referring to the existence called "Royal Agent" and "Squad Zero"?
For the sake of balance among the three realms, is Soul Society's mass to be destroyed?

But the purpose of the existence of these so-called "royal spies" is to protect the Three Realms or to imprison the Spirit King?

"Unforgivable." Naruto said softly.

Yamamoto Genryusai turned around suddenly and looked over with wide eyes.

One hundred years ago.
He is still so short, young and green.

But now, he is taller than herself and is an outstanding man.

A good man who is stronger than himself.

He slowly turned his head back: "Naruto."

"I know." Naruto responded with his unspoken words.

Yamamoto Genryusai shook his head.

He just realized that no matter how long an era is, it will eventually pass.

Seireitei.

In the street corner alley.

Kira held up a sword and led the soldiers on patrol, his face gloomy: "Everyone be careful." "Don't worry, Kira!" A soldier next to him grinned, "With your strength, there will be no problem."

"That's it."

"You are only in the seventh division, and you are only ranked fourth. If you were in any other division, you would be qualified to be the vice-captain."

Kirara grinned, forcing a smile.

This is not a lie.

This is a fact that even the captain himself admitted.

But the Seventh Division is special.
The reason why he couldn't even get three seats.

This is because the deputy captain is a fox that most captains cannot defeat. Compared with strength, he needs a careful, serious and responsible person to "assist" the deputy captain in handling team affairs.

Hinamori's strength is slightly weaker than his own.

But she needs to be more careful and more competent in her duties as the third seat of the seventh squad.

"I heard that Kira, the fourth captain, is in contact with the fifth squad?" After walking halfway across the street, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, but it was safe and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Kirara nodded, "The captain recommended it."

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and smiled.

He is a man with a lot of hatred and grievances, and he keeps everything to himself, but Captain Uzumaki has always been very patient and cares about the inner thoughts of ordinary soldiers and officers like them.

I have the ability and I want to go further.

Even if he didn't say anything, Captain Uzumaki would have noticed it.

He knew his situation and would patiently explain that the reason why these talented people were gathered together and incorporated into the Seventh Division was because Aizen had set his eyes on them, so he intervened.

Now that it's safe, he won't stop us.

Because of Aizen, the Fifth Division went from being prosperous at the beginning to being in a state of decline now.

There were a large number of missing officers, and those who could have been transferred had done so. All that was left for them by this team was humiliation.

The situation improved slightly after Shiba Kaiyan took over.

but
It is not easy to find a reliable and capable deputy captain. Many people only have enough strength, or strength second only to the captain, but they do not have much experience in managing teams and managing personnel.

Kirara stood out from the crowd.

The transfer procedures were already being processed, but the successive events of Muramasa and the invasion of the Invisible Empire forced the procedures to be interrupted.

Just wait until these things are over.
Compliments have not yet been uttered one after another.

Jiliang's expression suddenly changed: "Be careful!"

In his field of vision, the shadow suddenly twisted and spread out unnatural tentacles.

It is the signal for the Quincy to move.

They kind of
A way to move in and out of the shadows.

He reached out, pulled out his knife, opened his mouth, and the words were ready to come out of his mouth at any time.

But the next second—

A burst of blue light.

An arrow, a huge arrow, almost bigger than the head, suddenly appeared in the shadow and then shot away.

The wind was torn apart.

The whistling sound irritates the eardrum.

Kira subconsciously raised his sword, but his speed was too slow compared to the arrow!
The knife stopped the afterimage.

The left side of the torso was completely pierced through, leaving a large piece missing, leaving only the spine and the right half of flesh and blood, barely supporting it.

The rest of the team members exclaimed.

But no sound came out, and the same light arrow shot towards him.

The Quincies' "Holy Arrow of Destruction".

Tear, break, destroy.
They died at almost the same time.

"This level of defense is almost equivalent to nothing." A tall, thin blond man stepped out from the shadows, expressionless. "After going through something like that, are you still so lax?"

"Or"

"Their strength only goes so far."

Next to him, a man wearing a cloak and carrying a weapon behind him, with a high bulge, glanced and said: "Don't worry about these insignificant little people."

"Don't forget the mission His Majesty gave us."

The tall and thin man didn't say anything, but just glanced back at him and said, "Proceed as planned."

"Soul Society is short on manpower, so take advantage of this opportunity."

"Your Majesty's Order"

"Kill them all, including Uzumaki Naruto."

At the same time, in another location in Seireitei.

A man with disheveled hair stood in the air, looking down at Seireitei without concealing his spiritual pressure.

The Grim Reapers patrolling nearby immediately noticed him with serious eyes.

"Damn it, Quincy! It's the enemy!" One of them drew his sword and stared at the sky, "It's just outside the soul-blocking membrane!"

"when."

"alarm!"

One person raised his hand to release the fireworks as a reminder.

just
The spirit particles rushed up to the sky, and the man raised his hand, and the upward arc ended, disappearing without a trace.

The signal cannot be transmitted.

The Grim Reapers were even more terrified, but not because of his ability to intercept signals.

But he can do this, which means
This person is outside the soul-shielding membrane.

The Soul Society is separated from the outside world by a barrier. It looks empty and empty, but any high-ranking official with a little strength can break through it.

but
The purpose of this thing's existence is to send out a signal the moment it is destroyed, and then alert the people in Soul Society that the enemy is approaching.

This time, the soul-blocking membrane did not give any warning.

What does it mean?
That strange space teleportation technology has the ability to conceal the soul-covering membrane silently.

And another possibility.
Some of them dared not to imagine.

Division 12.

One of them, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, spoke up, raised his hand high, and said excitedly, "I finally cracked it!"

It took more than eight hours and covered 50,000 directions.

After multiple code crackings, he finally found the encryption method of this technique and figured out the principle behind it.

shadow!

It's the shadow.

After they escaped into the shadows, they did not go anywhere else but stayed there.

So where is the base camp of these guys?
It goes without saying.

Captain Uzumaki was right, they were in Soul Society, even in Seireitei, they were in the shadow of Seireitei.

Who notices the shadow?
Something that has existed since the beginning, without any sense of incongruity or existence.

And they hid inside, being very careful.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his head and glanced at the time. The pointer had not yet passed the top, which made him grin.

Tonight is not over yet.

I have not broken my promise to Naruto.

He waved his hand, trying to dismiss the two clones he had summoned to inform the captain and Naruto, but he had no time to perform the technique.

Akin, who had a horn on his head, frowned and reported: "A powerful and unfamiliar spiritual pressure appeared in the court!"

"Preliminary estimate is twenty people."

"Squad 7 Kirara's 4th commander's spiritual pressure disappeared, and the spiritual pressure of the three commanders who accompanied him also disappeared."

"In the West 301 area, the spiritual pressure of thirty-seven people disappeared."

As he spoke, soldiers began to report one after another.

"There are eighty-four people in the East 227 area."

"East 232 area, there are 24 people."

It was massive and majestic, and then densely packed, covering the entire screen. It was clear that one person was talking after another, but the atmosphere in the whole room was becoming increasingly depressing and more and more "lifeless".

although
"Disappearance of spiritual pressure" does not mean "death", but according to past statistics, the probability that the disappearance of spiritual pressure is equivalent to death is over 80%.

In other words, eighty percent of the people who popped up now can be confirmed dead.

In less than a few minutes since we received the signal of the enemy's invasion, we have lost nearly a thousand people.

There was no change in Kurotsuchi Mayuri's expression. He stared at the screen calmly. The numbers jumping on it did not represent names, but just a string of cold numbers.

"Captain Uzumaki is going to be really angry this time."

He murmured and turned his head to look outside the house.

Ajin turned around and looked at his captain: "Captain Nirvana, tell Captain Uzumaki and the captain-general about this."

"Why should I tell you?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri interrupted him with a cold tone.

Ajin was stunned.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri waved his hands and tutted his tongue, looking unhappy: "If it had been ten minutes earlier, this information would still be very valuable."

"Now that the enemy has launched the attack, this information is worthless and worthless."

"There's no point anymore."

Akin blinked.

How can these data be worthless? They can analyze the enemy's distribution, know the enemy's movements, and know where the enemy's core is.
Kuroshio Mayuri stretched out his hand and made a seal: "I'll leave the dispatch here to you and Meng Yin."

“I’m going to do something more meaningful.”

"Which laboratory is the deputy captain of the Sparrow Department in?"

Akin immediately replied, "In the A133 Laboratory."

"Really?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri responded, and after he completed the seal, his body dissipated. White smoke dissipated and he disappeared from the spot.

Akin sighed.

His own captain is so free and easy, he cannot be like that, he still has to pass on the information honestly.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi no longer cares about the "shadow".

The enemy took the initiative to attack, making all his hard work for half a day and his expensive potions useless.

So next
I will do something more meaningful next.

Now that they are so proactive, it is not difficult to see that they are worried about what the Gotei 13 will analyze from Valkyrie and the captured Quincy.

Avoid long nights and many dreams.

Therefore, they chose to fight quickly and take the initiative, before too much intelligence had been analyzed, before it was completely exposed, and when the initiative was still in their hands.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri curled his lips.

This really works, the timing is so accurate.

This made him feel very uncomfortable. He paid such a huge price, but it all went to waste.

so.
It's time to fight back.

Without considering the special abilities of Valkyrie and other "Fullbringers", this group of Quincies' most feared ability is the so-called "Bankai" ability.

Even though his colleagues were not smart enough, they were not so foolish as to use their Bankai against the Quincies after knowing this information.

We need to find a way to crack the spell as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time.

Laboratory A133.

In his right hand, Mayuri Kurotsuchi held a thick tube of medicine with a needle as thick as a wasp's tail. He stared at Chojiro Suzuki who was lying on the bed and said in a sinister tone, "The enemy has already invaded."

“This is no time for a slow, gentle approach to research.”

The wound of Suzuki Chojiro has not yet completely healed. He took a deep breath, looked serious, and stared at the medicine that could cause people to suffer excruciating pain just by injecting it: "I'm ready, Captain Nirvana."

"For Seireitei and the captain-general, I can do anything."

Kuroshio Mayuri grinned and stabbed down fiercely with his right hand.

but
The potion did not hit Chojiro Suzuki, but was aimed at himself.

The medicine was pushed in all at once.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's body underwent a slight change in appearance. It now had three heads and six arms, looked ugly and disgusting, and a faint red color seeped out of its surface. It was the blood surging in its body, flowing out of its capillaries uncontrollably.

This was the inspiration he got from Naruto's first complete Shikai state.

Three heads and six arms is a bit ugly.
But it is indeed very useful in research.

If these things did not exist, it would indeed affect combat and other not-so-important daily research, and there is also a better alternative, the "Shadow Clone Technique".

Otherwise, he would really have to perform such physical transformation on himself instead of choosing to use potions to achieve this goal.

In order to crack "Bankai" as quickly as possible.

He used all the medicines that could be used on himself.

As for the physical burden
At worst, after it’s over, I can just lie down in Squad 7 for a while.

Chojiro Suzuki couldn't help but shudder when he saw Mayuri Kurotsuchi like this.

although
The medicine just now was a little hard to accept.

But seeing Mayuri in this state made him feel an unknown fear, which was really worse than being hit by a pipe.

Seireitei.

Naruto and Yamamoto Genryusai stood in the broken First Division barracks, looking into the distance.

Eleven high-concentration lepton light pillars rose from the ground.

A blue flame was burning in it.

"The soul-blocking membrane is not damaged." Yamamoto Genryusai said quietly, "But so many enemies broke in."

"Naruto, you are right."

Naruto responded, "They were in Seireitei from the beginning."
