Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 262 Flesh, Light, Ice and Fire (7K)

Naruto recognized himself.

He is not the God of Death, but he chose to become the God of Death without knowing it, just like when he was in the Ninja World, he was destined to become a Konoha Ninja because of the environment he was born in.

only.
After learning something about him.

He makes judgments.

While in Konoha, he refused to become a ninja.

And at this moment, he did not refuse to become the god of death, he was willing to become the god of death.

After receiving Naruto's affirmative answer, Nimaiya Wang Yue raised his hand happily: "Then."

“Welcome to my stage!”

"Naruto-chan."

"Next you will see the most powerful forging technique ever."

His rock-and-roll gesture was responded to by a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

"I'm coming!"

Figures came rushing over, leaping high from all directions.

They were the female-embodied Zanpakutōs that we had seen in that nightclub-style building before.

Their identities are more than just "little cuties" in Wang Yue's heart.

still is
They fell heavily to the ground, and some of them who couldn't stand firmly rolled into a ball, looking unskilled and extremely embarrassed. But under the training of Wang Yue from Ermeiwu, they did it openly and proudly.

"Nimeiwu Guards——"

"Here you go."

Jiu Lama turned his head away, not wanting to watch.

Naruto was fine, remaining calm.

The advantages of appearance and figure are fully demonstrated at this moment.

In essence, no matter how shameful the action is, it still looks quite beautiful when performed by them.

but.
So far, no further action has been taken.

Nimaiya Wang Yue poked his head out and pointed at the "Shallow Fighter" behind Naruto: "Not just them."

“And you.”

He reached out and grabbed it.

The manifestation of the shallow attack dissipated instantly and turned into a stream of refined spiritual energy that flew away like an arrow or a catapult.

Galloping and sharp.

This power was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He cut his palm and blood dripped.

The beam of light passed over him, nailed to the ground, and vibrated with its tail.

"What an amazing power." Ermeiwu Wang Yue said softly, tilting his head to look at Naruto.

The other members of the Royal Guard took action immediately.

The woman with a red cockscomb rubbed her hands, bent over like a flint to light a fire, and opened her mouth to spit out in the center of the open space in front of her. What came out was not air, but flames, a blazing, scorching, and extremely hot flame.

It is a fire-type Zanpakutō.

From the performance point of view.
I'm afraid it's not weaker than the one in Shiba Isshin's hand.

The yellow woman with twin ponytails stretched out her hand, but it was not her limbs that moved, but the pair of very agile ponytails, which personified the beam of light that was still trembling on the ground.

It is one of the main materials for forging a Zanpakutō.

The woman, with a bandage on her face and looking very discouraged, stepped back to the corner, opened her mouth, and without hesitation pinched one of her teeth, pried it outwards, and pulled it out with blood.

With a pull of both hands, the spiritual power released it and it immediately turned into a very exaggerated forging hammer.

The hammer head is extremely large and the handle is extremely long.

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu took off the ornaments on his body, removed those that were left on his body to cover the outer shell of his true self, and revealed his true self.

In the small pair of eyes beneath the sunglasses is the compassion that forged countless "Zanpakuto" souls.

He took the hammer.

This is a very unusual forging hammer.

Naruto had been to the Land of Iron and had seen the blacksmith shops in this world. He knew that although the two worlds were somewhat different, the habits of the blacksmiths were similar.

They prefer to use small hammers so that they can operate more delicately. Only when forging rough billets may they use slightly larger hammers.

But it will never be this big.

so.
Wang Yue from Ermeiwu swung the hammer hard and smashed it on the beam of light caught by the twin ponytails.

That was an already formed embryo, and the outline of the knife could be vaguely seen.

But this hammer came down.

There was a loud clang.

It missed the knife and hit the anvil instead.

empty!

It wasn't that Wang Yue from Ermeiwu had poor skills and his hammer missed, but that he just didn't hit it.

The "shallow sword" can be seen but not touched.

at least
With the existence of Ermeiwu Wang Yue, he cannot be touched.

He realized this and immediately turned around: "It seems that this document alone is not enough."

"look"

"Other materials are needed."

"Naruto-chan, this is something that was born from your calling and thoughts. Do you have any opinion?"

Naruto stared at the blade-shaped light.

That is the creation of your own soul.
Even if there is some "Asura" power contained in it, it is incomplete and fragmentary, only half.

So, complete it.

He reached out and grasped the hilt of Jiu Lama's knife.

The eponymous fox looked down, watching his movements.

"Although a lot of things have happened in these hundreds of years." Naruto said softly, slowly pulling out the knife, his tone calm, gentle and powerful, reminiscing about the past, "With your help, I can come to this point today."

"You are already very strong now." Jiu Lama shook his head, "Old man..."

“Instead, it looks like a burden.”

It hadn't felt like this before.

But recently.

Whether it is Uchiha Madara and Otsutsuki Kaguya in the ninja world, or the enemies he met after coming to this world, such as Valkyrie and Haschwalth.

They are all existences that they cannot solve on their own.

Unless he borrows Naruto's power and performs "Bankai".

The gap between him and Naruto was also expanding at a rapid and shocking scale like a "chasm".

"How can it be a burden?" Naruto shook his head, raised the sword horizontally, and stood it in front of his chest, "We are companions, we are one."

"Your strength is my strength, and my strength is your strength."

"And now."

"I still need to borrow your abilities."

"Let's get started, Kurama."

The fox tilted its head, not quite sure why it would use the power of "Kurouma" in such a situation, but it replied honestly, "Of course no problem, Naruto."

This is the agreement between the man and the fox.

Before using the power of Kurama.
We need to seek the consent of the Nine Lamas.

Even now Naruto's power is strong enough that he doesn't need to care about Kurama's opinion.

He still does it.

The crimson glow overwhelmed the flame created by the red-haired woman's Zanpakutō. She was not continuing to forge the sword, she was still continuously outputting flames, but it was weakened a little, making the flames not jumping so violently.

"You are going to use my power for what?" Jiu Lama raised his doubts after agreeing.

Naruto said softly, "To complete the other half, of course."

He swung the knife.

In the void, ripples spread and the power of Yin Dun was operating.

Something is created out of the invisible.

It's a shell.

It starts from the bones, slowly grows nerves, flesh and blood, and then the skin and meridians.

A complete human figure appeared in the blink of an eye.

The power of Yang Dun followed closely behind.

"Boom," "boom," the heartbeat sounds inside this body.

Give life to tangible things.

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu stared at the scene in disbelief.

The ability of "Kuroma"
He didn't know, after all, this Zanpakutō was not forged by him, but the information from the Soul Society would be transmitted back to the Soul King Palace, and judging from the form it displayed, it should not have such incredible abilities.

Create life.
It is neither a "puppet" nor a "soul".

It is life, real life.

Of course, people with this ability are rare, but they do exist.

This is just the beginning of the understanding.

The Bankai of the sword "Kurama".
It really makes him look forward to it.

This body came alive and he had life.

But for Naruto, this is not enough. This is just a work of art that is not even as good as "Subaha", but is more exquisite.

It is not enough to become a physical body that matches the creation of one's soul.

Naruto raised his other hand and placed it on his chest.

The spiritual power surged, drawing something from the body——

It's vitality.

The unique vitality of the Uzumaki clan and Uzumaki Naruto.

The small ball of golden light, the glittering gemstone, is so bright and beautiful that it is beyond description.

Naruto threw it.

The life gem falls into this body and dissolves in water
It melted.

A strange reaction immediately occurred on the body.

Wang Yue of Ermeiwu stretched out his hand with a heavy face. He was mentally prepared and reached forward to grab. The body turned into a beam of light and flew towards him just like the one he had hit before.

This relieved him.

"Really? I thought something like this couldn't be used as material for forging a knife." He smiled and looked down. Although this body also turned into light, it was completely different from the rough draft just now.

Rough, disordered, and the shape needs to be polished.

For more detailed carving.
Or.

Wang Yue from the Ermei House tilted his head and stared at the other knife blank that had already taken shape.

No.
We shouldn't touch this area.

Instead, we need to work on the piece that has already been shaped, which is formed in the shape of the god of death.

But the blond boy in front of him simply chose to become the god of death.

"Lotus." He called a name.

The blond girl holding the knife blank between her ponytails tilted her head on the anvil and said, "Master?"

"Next, you have to use all your strength." He gently placed the irregular rough blank on the knife blank and smashed it hard.

With a clang——

Precise, steady and powerful.

The knife blank was touched and it bent severely, showing a little sign of fusion with the rough blank.

The flames were splashing and dazzling.

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu was so excited that his emotion overflowed.

The material is rare and powerful, which also means it is extremely difficult to forge.

After more than twenty consecutive hammer blows, the knife blank finally showed signs of being completely twisted and fused with the rough blank.

"Naruto-chan, this excites me!"

He cheered.

"It makes me feel like I've gone back more than 2,000 years to when I forged the first Zanpakutō."

"You really surprised me."

"You really delight me!"

The clanging sound of the hammer could not suppress his emotions and voice.

Naruto watched calmly from the side.

Jiu Lama tilted his head. He was not interested in "blacksmithing". The sparks that flew out were very beautiful, but after repeating it again and again, even the most beautiful things would become boring over a long period of time.

It jumped off Naruto's shoulder, approached the other idle Zanpakutō, and asked in a low voice about things related to "Bankai".

although
To some extent, it also possesses the power of "Bankai".

The "Bankai" of "Kyu-la-Ma" acts on it.

But after all, that was Naruto's Bankai, not his own.

It wanted, desperately wanted, to have a Bankai of its own, the Bankai of "Kitsune Mirror".

The knife is being forged.

The surrounding water is constantly being taken in and evaporating.

Seireitei.

"It's been three days." In the 7th Division's barracks, Yamamoto Genryusai looked up, stared at the clock hanging on the wall, and sighed softly, "Naruto has been in the Soul King Palace for that long."

He had moved here since the war ended. The First Squadron's barracks had not been renovated yet, and he had no time to deal with these tedious, trivial matters.

The Seventh Division is the inner court guard. The enemy has already invaded the Soul Society.
As the captain, it makes sense for him to be in charge here.

"Don't worry, Captain-General. It is the Soul King Palace after all." Soi-Fong responded immediately. She had also been here all the time and was already familiar with the environment of the Seventh Division. Now that the Captain-General was here, she had even more legitimate reason to stay here.

"I'm not worried about him." Yamamoto Genryusai looked at her with a smile and shook his head, "I'm worried about..."

"The Invisible Empire."

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his head and said in a dull tone: "I obtained the coordinates of the Invisible Empire from Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri."

"but."

"Their guards are very tight, even Captain Nirvana's spirit insects can't sneak in."

"Not to mention a target as huge as the Grim Reaper."

Yamamoto Genryusai asked, "Where are they?"

During this period of time, he has been worrying about Unohana Retsu and Zaraki Kenpachi. These two guys have "fighting" engraved in their blood. If you are not careful, they will fight with real fire, and one of them may die.

until today
Their battle finally entered its final chapter.

Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to have learned something.

He handed the two over to Ukitake Jushiro, and was able to take some time out to see what preparations the Soul Society had made.

In the corner of the room, the Kurotsuchi Mayuri clone who had been writing and drawing on a notebook stood up and pointed to the ground: "It's already obvious."

"They are in Seireitei."

"In the shadows."

“What a cunning bunch of guys.”

Yamamoto Genryusai continued to ask: "Captain Nirvana, what solutions do you have for dealing with this?"

"Of course!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri grinned and stepped out from behind the table in an exaggerated manner. "I'm not an incompetent guy."

"Now."

"There are two ways."

"One is to take the initiative. Since we already know the coordinates of the Invisible Empire, we can just sneak into the shadows and attack them."

Yamamoto Genryusai did not comment on this method.

but.
Almost as soon as he said it, he had already sentenced this method to death.

The power of Soul Society is already weaker than that of the Invisible Empire, and now Naruto and Squad Zero have gone to the Soul King Palace.

Even with themselves, the Gotei 13 are no match for the Invisible Empire.

Take the initiative?

This is called seeking death voluntarily.

"The second method is to limit the shadows." Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his hand. "They move in and out of the shadows. This is the main reason why we can't catch them."

"In that case."

"Then let's make sure there is no shadow in Seireitei."

Yamamoto Genryusai tilted his head and stared at Kurotsuchi Mayuri, somewhat puzzled.

No shadow?

How can this be done?

He must have someone's Zanpakutō, or some kind of kidō that can do this.

Kuroshio Mayuri grinned and raised his hand higher: "I've shown this to Captain Kyōraku."

"how to say?"

"He agrees."

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered the brim of his hat and nodded reluctantly: "Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's indeed a good method."

"Exaggerated?" Yamamoto Genryusai curled his lips, "Even someone like Shunsui would say something exaggerated."

"And to what extent?"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri snapped his fingers.

With a "click", it was like turning on a switch.

His body suddenly became transparent and bright, bright and clear, even dazzling, blocking out the sun and illuminating himself and everything around him. His shadow could only continue to exist outside the light.

"The best and most useful thing to destroy shadows is a lamp!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his other hand and cheered, "Just turn on the lamp!"

"If there is enough light, the shadow will disappear."

"Team 12 is ready."

"As long as you, the captain, give your nod, these lights will be lit in the Soul Society at any time."

"certainly."

"I remember that Captain Shifengyuan told Naruto a long time ago that no matter how bright the light is, as long as there is light, there will be shadows."

"There is no way to completely eliminate the shadow, so I also suggested."

"Reserve a portion of the area in the Seireitei to project shadows, so that when the Invisible Empire invades, there will only be one entrance."

"We can at least keep track of their movements."

"It won't be like before, when we were caught by the enemy without knowing anything."

Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder Shunsui said that."

“But it is indeed a very simple and useful method.”

"Light?"

"Then do it."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri snapped his fingers and created a new clone, while the old one dissipated with a "bang", passing the information back.

After the approval of Yamamoto Genryusai.

Lamps were hung in every corner of the Soul Society, above every shadow, and even in the storage boxes.

Cultivating hell butterflies requires a secluded and quiet environment, but now I'm afraid I'll have to let these poor little creatures suffer.

Two hours later.

Kuroshio Mayuri was eager to complete the task. Only above the destroyed First Squadron barracks, there was no light, leaving a huge shadow.

The Invisible Empire.

Yhwach sat on the throne, looking at the Quincies that were gradually gathering together and grinned.

This is his kingdom.

Even if.
There was some damage during the first attack and test, but it still did not affect the powerful force accumulated for thousands of years in his hands.

"Your Majesty." Barrow came over and reported in a low voice, "Something happened in the Soul Society."

Yhwach said nothing, but tilted his head to look at him.

Barro continued, "The Shinigami lit up lights in the Soul Society, lighting up almost all of the place, except for the ruins of the former First Squadron barracks. It was pitch black there, with a lot of shadows."

Yhwach laughed contemptuously: "Barro, did you see that?"

"Of course, Your Majesty." Barrow said respectfully, "Death is tempting us, they think."

"We had no choice but to launch our attack from that location."

Yhwach waved his hand.

Being able to see where the problem lies is certainly a great ability, but for him, what he needs is not only this ability, but also the ability to propose solutions to the problem after seeing it.

As a personal guard, Barrow understood what His Majesty meant: "I think it would be better for us to act according to their ideas first."

"Let them really think that we are as stupid as they think."

"And then launch the attack."

He paused.

"Your Majesty is so great that you don't need to resort to such costly tricks."

"But for ordinary humans like us who need to admire your glory to survive, this kind of clever trick can allow believers who bathe in your glory to gain greater victory at a smaller cost."

Yhwach smiled softly: "Barro, you speak much more pleasantly than Haschwald."

"These are my most sincere compliments to you." Barrow's face was serious and solemn.

Yhwach waved his hand and shook his head: "Then let's do as you said."

"We should take them down in one fell swoop while Uzumaki Naruto is still in the Soul King Palace."

Barrow nodded and came down.

Ten minutes later, in the Invisible Empire, in front of the Gate of the Sun.

"We want some of us to be the vanguard?" The man with the purple-red Mohawk curled his lips. "Have the Death Gods made preparations to prevent the invasion of the Shadow Realm?"

"This is not good news."

"Do we need these few people to deal with the entire Gotei 13?"

Barrow stared at him expressionlessly, "Are you scared? Buzzby?"

"Nonsense!" The Mohawk man shook his head, his hair shaking as violently as his body, "How could I be afraid!"

"only."

"This kind of behavior is so risky."

"Was it that guy named Ishida Uryu who proposed it?"

He is a man who holds grudges.

It was clear that when His Majesty announced that "Ishida Uryu" was the heir, he was the first, and almost the only, person who did not have the urge to openly veto it.

At this time, I got such a dangerous task.

It's hard to believe that this wasn't intentional revenge.

"Of course not. This is my suggestion to Your Majesty." Barrow said softly, "We need to send some troops with sufficient strength to deal a heavy blow to the Death Gods and make them believe that we can only use the Shadow Realm to pass through there."

"I believe you."

Buzby tutted.

These words.
It is believable for the time being.

He believed that his strength was not the best in the Stern Cross Knights, but he was definitely among the best.

"Now that you've said that," Buzby raised his hand, staring firmly at his fingers, "I can't refuse your kindness."

"The guy who killed Haschwald"

"It's Uzumaki Naruto, the captain of Squad 7, right?"

"He is very strong and can kill Haschwald and Valkyrie, but don't worry, I will kill him and then present his head as a gift to Your Majesty."

Barrow said nothing.

The news of Uzumaki Naruto in the Soul King Palace was not revealed.

Seireitei, outside the ruins of the First Squadron's barracks.

"Just waiting like this?" Rangiku sat under the lamplight, staring at the shadows in the ruins. "How boring."

"We can't take the initiative to attack." Hitsugaya Toushirou shook his head, "This method is the best method we can choose now."

"Wait"

"We only need to be on duty for one day."

"Also, the captain has promised that he will give you a chance to visit Gin Ichimaru after this time."

Ichimaru Silver.
This name, which she had treasured and kept in her heart for a long time, was suddenly mentioned by Hitsugaya Toushirou after many years, making her laugh from the bottom of her heart.

A chance to see you again.

But at this moment.

The shadows on the ruins of the First Squadron began to wriggle, rolling in an unnatural arc.

"They are coming." Hitsugaya Toushirou stood up immediately and looked into the distance. Of course, it seemed that there was no difference whether he stood up or not, he was still so small that he couldn't even reach Matsumoto Rangiku's waist.

Rangiku turned around and looked over, then pulled out a flare from her chest and released it into the sky.

It exploded with a bang.

In the bright daylight, a dazzling bunch of purple and red flowers bloomed.

The people who were squirming in the shadows also came out.

The purple-red hair appeared first.

"Sure enough." He tilted his head, caught the spiritual pressure, and immediately looked over, "The God of Death has set an ambush here."

Hitsugaya Toushirou gripped the hilt of the knife: "We have cracked the way you came and went."

"It is absolutely impossible to launch a surprise attack like the last time."

Buzby stuck out his tongue, made a face, and spread his hands. His spiritual pressure surged and gathered, and a small flame emerged: "Since you already know how we will launch an attack, why do you only have this little power?"

"Only a brat like you."

"I am deeply impressed by you."

"The captain of the Ice who was humiliated by Cangdu."

Hitsugaya Toushirou was not moved by his words and slowly pulled out the knife: "You are such an impolite fellow."

"Remember my name, I am the captain of the 10th Division, Hitsugaya Toushirou."

"Please address me as Captain Hitsugaya."

Buzby grinned, "I am the Knights of the Star Cross!"

"Scorching Buzzby!"

"It seems we are still very compatible."

Hitsugaya Toushirou lowered his head: "In the Soul Society, it is not easy to fight a decent fire-type ability user."

“I hope you can give me some good experiences.”

He took a deep breath.

"Swastika!"

"Daicunlian Hyorinwan."

Buzby's eyes widened, a little surprised, but his body was still very honest. He took out a star badge and said, "Is fighting an opponent like me too exciting for you?"

"Captain Hitsugaya."

"You actually used Bankai in front of me."

"You really treat me with contempt!"
