Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 266 Ichigo Kenpachi and Yachiryu (7K)

This is someone who shouldn't be here.

Even if he came to Soul Society
That shouldn't appear in the Spirit King Palace.

Without the permission of Squad Zero and without the guidance of the Shiba family.

Ordinary Shinigami, even those of Yamamoto Genryusai's level, cannot approach the Soul King Palace.

Not to mention, Ichigo Kurosaki.

His power is not very strong yet.

The only one who was not surprised was the monk. He looked forward to the realization, and pounded his hands with a crisp sound, and uttered the next words: "Is Kurosaki Ichigo finally here?"

"Did you do this?" Naruto immediately turned his head and stared at him coldly.

The monk tilted his head and said confidently: "He will definitely come."

"That's what Lord Spiritual King said."

Naruto's face was uncertain.

He thought of the spiritual pressure left by the Spirit King in the Spirit King's Palace just now.

When you get the chance, kill him.

But whether he is dead or alive, it does not affect one fact, that is, the stability of the three realms requires a wedge.

If he doesn't want to be the wedge, he can call the only person who has the qualifications.
"Is it because of the wedge?" Naruto asked him.

The monk turned his head and looked into the depths of the dark palace. He couldn't see the amber clearly from here. "I don't know what you communicated with Lord Ling Wang."

"But it is safest for Kurosaki Ichigo to be in the Soul King Palace."

"Uzumaki Naruto, you are a very good person, but Yamamoto Shigekuni is right about you."

"You're too emotional."

Naruto reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist: "He is an insignificant person to you, so you can say such insignificant words."

"But I can't."

The monk shook his head. He noticed Naruto's action but didn't say anything. He just continued calmly, "Why don't we go meet Ichigo Kurosaki together?"

Naruto nodded and followed.

On the entrance platform, an orange figure rubbed his head and climbed out of the thick pillar.

"Is this the Palace of the Spirit King?" he sighed softly.

Seireitei.

The 11th Division team building.

The battlefield has spread here uncontrollably.

Kenpachi Zaraki raised his sword and looked at the man standing opposite him with excitement in his eyes: "You are really tough. You took so many blows from me, but you are not even hurt at all."

"Your ability can't hurt me." He waved his hand, and the iron coating on his skin disappeared. "One of the special combat forces, Kenpachi Zaraki."

"I know your information very well."

"There is no Zanpakutō, no Kidō, only Zanjutsu"

"Among the Knights of the Star Cross, I am the one who can control you the most."

The dark-haired man paused.

"Self introduction."

"I am Cangdu of the Stern Cross Knights, the holy letter 'I'."

“Iron, the I for steel.”

Kenpachi Zaraki didn't care. He shook his head and raised his bumpy Zanpakuto: "There is nothing that cannot be cut."

"Even if it's steel"

"It's just a little harder to cut."

He frowned, his expression becoming extremely ugly: "Do you know what I have been through during this period of time?"

"It's painful. It's so painful."

"Every day I get to fight the person I dream of and admire the most."

"But every day we can't fight to the end, there is always a hateful, ugly, and powerful old guy who takes action to prevent the communication between the two of us."

"I'm so glad to meet you."

"I can vent all the anger in my heart."

Without hesitation, he continued to swing his sword and chop down.

But as Cangdu said, he is the one who can best restrain Kenpachi Neki.

The holy word of steel did not give him outstanding attack capabilities, but it had unique advantages in defense, especially against physical attacks.

The spiritual pressure trembled.

"Snake Claw".

Blue spiritual pressure trembled on Cangdu's hands, and sharp steel claws protruded from the palms, and the attached spiritual pressure leaped like flames.

With a slash, Kenpachi Zaraki was injured.

With the belief of exchanging injury for injury, he slashed out at Cangdu's shoulder, but failed to cause any effective damage as it was still blocked by a layer of thick and rough steel.

"You will die if you keep trying in vain." Cangdu said coldly, "I haven't even completed the use of the Holy Body like the others."

“You shouldn’t be limited to this ability.”

"You are a guy who was personally recognized by His Majesty as a special combat force."

"As the captain, how could you not even know Shikai?"

"Use it."

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned and smiled softly.

Kusaka Yachiryu stood outside the battlefield, his tone and voice worried: "Xiaojian, you should know how to use Shikai, use it."

The soldiers of the 11th Division had exactly the same expectations.

They had heard a long time ago that Captain Zaraki had been conducting secret training during this period, which was so difficult and intense that it even required the help of several captains.

Under such practice
The captain should undergo a transformation.

But from the battle just now, it seems that the captain has only learned some killing techniques. He has indeed become stronger, but this kind of training in killing techniques is far from the level that should be achieved by the participation of several captains together.

At least, what about the initial release?

Just as Vice Captains Cangdu and Caolu said.

What about the initial solution?
Kenpachi Zaraki reached out to Kusaka Yachiru outside the battlefield and said, "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

"I just don't really like to use my brain to think."

"That doesn't mean I can't see it."

"Caolu, you and Kurama are the same kind of people, right?"

The ordinary soldiers of the 11th Division were confused and blinked their eyes, not understanding what this sentence meant.

Madarame scratched his head and muttered quietly, "Vice-Captain Yachiryu and Vice-Captain Kurama, are they the same kind of people?"

"What a weird statement."

One is a cute little girl, and the other is a fox that can draw a knife and chop people.
No matter which angle you look at them from, they are different.

"Idiot." Ayase Gawa Yumichika shook his head, his face solemn, "Vice Captain Kurama is Captain Naruto's what, have you forgotten?"

"Zanpakuto." Madarame Ikkaku answered immediately.

For ordinary soldiers, this is a relatively niche piece of news that almost no one would mention, but for senior officers like them, it is not a very secret message.

The answer that came out of his mouth made him realize something. He turned his head and looked at Kusaka Yachiru in disbelief.

Kenpachi Zaraki continued, speaking out what they had guessed without any scruples and directly: "You are my Zanpakutō."

"I"

"I haven't been able to hear your voice for a long time, so you have been with me in another form."

Kusaka Yachiru tilted his head and said, "It turns out that Xiaojian is not an idiot."

"I am the captain of the 11th Division." Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, "How can a captain be a fool?"

He stood up again and his eyes fell on Cang Du.

Cang is very patient.

He respects his opponents.
In other words, he believed in his own strength. No matter what kind of "struggle" the person in front of him made or what he came up with in the end, he would crush him.

The Knights of the Star Cross are just like this, they are extremely confident in their own strength.

Kenpachi Zaraki's words continued to spew out: "I heard that name."

"Know what this knife is called."

"but"

"You are still different from Jiu Lama."

"Kurouma told me that it was sealed in Naruto's body and was originally a separate and free individual."

"If it were you."

"After I call out that name, you are no longer Kusaka Hachiryu."

Kusaka Yachiryu did not answer and did not make any move.

Silence is also a statement, silence is also a kind of affirmation.

"Compared to my Zanpakutō, I still prefer and am more adapted to Kusaka Yachiryu." Zaraki Kenpachi picked up the sword and did not retract it when he stretched it out. "It's the vice-captain Kusaka Yachiryu."

"Instead of a Zanpakutō or something."

Kusaka Yachiryu used his flash step, jumped to his side, and took his hand: "Is that so? Xiaojian."

"I'm kind of happy with your answer."

"I am also somewhat saddened by your answer."

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned.

But after so many years, he is still the man who is not suitable for smiling, with frozen features and hideous looks.

In the eyes of Kusaka Hachiru, she is very cute.

"Don't be sad, I just don't know how to call out that name." He continued openly and frankly, "Although it's a bit awkward, you shouldn't mind me borrowing your power at this time."

"Let's work together and chop that guy down."

Kusaka Yachiru held the knife at his waist and nodded seriously and obediently: "No problem, Xiaojian."

"I'm strong too."

She narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

"I thought you were going to evolve in some way by being so touching." Cang Du clicked his tongue, disdainful, "In the end, it just turned out to be a little girl."

"What use can such a tiny thing have?"

He pointed to the soldiers of the 11th Squadron standing beside him.

"It would be better to call that bald guy and that sissy. They look quite decent."

Madarame was unmoved, he had been teased about his bald head a lot.

Ayasegawa Yumichika is different.

He glared at me and pointed back at me without any hesitation: "I am beautiful!"

"Who are you calling a sissy?"

"Can't you see my full masculinity?"

"That bastard, Captain, and Vice Captain, beat him up!"

At least he still had a shred of rationality in his head.

Knowing that this was a battle between the captain and the vice-captain, he did not draw his sword to meet the enemy.

"I'm very strong." Kusaka Hachiryu drew out her sword crisply. Her sword was not very beautiful and did not have much sharpness.

But it's definitely the cutest of all the Grim Reapers.

The handle is bright pink all over and the guard is shaped like a flower.

Use a knife like this
There is no convincing power in saying something like this.

Kenpachi Zaraki leaped up and slashed at him: "Don't waste your time talking to him."

"Let's go together."

Chop with a knife.

Cangdu, as always, used the simplest and most brutal method before. The spiritual pressure surged, and he raised his hand, and the steel surged and covered him.

Blocked Kenpachi Zaraki's attack.

There was a slight vibration, and most of the power of the attack was resisted by the steel, but he had no strength, so he had to bear the consequences himself and took two steps back.

Glancing away.

Kusaka Hachiryu's attack followed.

Just like Kenpachi Zaraki, he slashed at him head-on.

This made him very comfortable, and he didn't even need to adjust his defensive posture, just continue to maintain his current state.

Can.
I felt a pain.

Blood flew and splashed onto his face.

This made Cangdu's pupils shrink and he was extremely shocked.

Blood comes out from injuries.

But I had clearly defended myself against both of their attacks, so how could I have been hurt?

He lowered his head and looked towards where the pain came from.

It was on the chest, a hideous, deep wound.

This result will only occur if you are hit hard.

Kenpachi Zaraki did not show such ability just now.

So here it is.
What is that little girl's ability?

Is it her Zanpakutō?

"You realize it now." The little girl's sweet voice reached his ears, "My slashing is different from the slashing of the little sword."

“How will you respond next?”

"I chose to be hit by the sword."

"Or would you rather choose to be hit by me?" Use the cutest voice to say the coldest and most cruel words.

Cangdu stretched out his hand, his triangle eyes full of hostility: "This is the first time someone has broken my defense head-on since I gained this kind of power."

"but."

"My power is more than that."

Spiritual pressure surges.

Complete the Eucharist.

His wings, like Bazby's, are made of steel, angular, iron-colored wings, unlike the regular feathered wings of other Quincies.

"I've fought all kinds of enemies before, but this is the first time I've fought one with wings." Others became stronger, which made Kenpachi Zaraki even more excited, "Kusaru, are you ready?"

"This will be the first time we work together to cut down an enemy."

Kusaka Yachiru nodded obediently and responded, "I know, Xiaojian."

She paused and corrected seriously, "Also, you can call me Yachiryu, it sounds better than Kusaka."

"I understand, Yachiryu." Kenpachi Zaraki said seriously.

This name
It has special meaning to him.

The person he has always admired the most, her name used to be "Yachiryu", but now she has changed her name to "Rie".

And for a god of death like me, the most important person has another name, just to be able to stay by my side, so now she is called "Yachiryu".

Each man wielded a sword and slashed at the steel body flying in the air.

In the abandoned barracks of the First Squadron.

"Your Majesty, Ichigo Kurosaki has arrived in Soul Society." Barro said in a gentle voice.

In the corner, Ishida Uryu couldn't help but raise his head, trying hard not to let any overly obvious expressions appear on his face or in his eyes.

That rascal.
Still here.

I knew it would be like this.

But there was nothing he could do. This was an open conspiracy. With Ichigo Kurosaki's personality, as long as he appeared in front of him as the Invisible Empire, he would definitely come to Soul Society no matter what he said.

"We're going to the Soul King Palace." Yhwach smiled slightly, "Then everything will be done soon."

"Let's wait patiently for a while."

He raised his head and peeked through the broken wall at the clouds high above.

"As for now."

"Although they were aware of it, they had already exhausted all their strength even to deal with the advance troops."

"Let's move on to the next step."

“I don’t want to see these buildings anymore.”

Barrow responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With his voice.

The technique was quietly activated.

The intact soul-shielding membrane of the Soul Society quietly grew a little shadow.

A tiny black dot was spreading rapidly on the transparent barrier at an exponential rate.

When someone from the 12th Division discovered that huge dark shadow,
It has grown at an irreversible rate.

"Captain!" A soldier in the technology development area said, "The soul-blocking membrane has been invaded."

"The source of power is unknown, suspected"

"Quincy."

Kuroshio Mayuri sighed and shook his head. "What do you mean by suspicious? This is the Quincy."

"What a damn guy."

"So there is still this hidden trick."

"I was wondering why their advance team only had so few people compared to the last invasion."

"But isn't it a bit naive to think that you want to seize the Soul Society with such a crude method? Do you think I really have no preparations?"

He paused, turned his head, and told the soldiers: "Activate Plan 127."

"Yes!" The soldier responded, looking flustered, but still obediently passed down the orders one by one.

The Shadow Clone Technique allows Mayuri to conduct thousands of experiments simultaneously.

During these few days, he was not only studying the power of the extermination masters, but also thinking about what the extermination masters would do to the Soul Society?

Prior to this, the Quincies had attempted to seize Bankai.

Then
Is there a possibility that the Quincies also have plans to seize the Soul Society?

According to Kuroshio Mayuri's previous estimates, this possibility was not very high.

However, he still made a plan to prevent the slightest possibility.

In less than a minute, the Technology Development Bureau responded to Kurotsuchi Mayuri's order.

A light blooms on the soul-blocking membrane.

The shadow of exponential growth, the speed at which it spread and devoured, slowed down almost immediately.

The invasion was blocked.

Yuhabach let out a light exclamation.

The light was only the first change. Ripples appeared on the soul-blocking membrane that had not yet been invaded, and another kind of dark spiritual power merged into it. Different from the shadow of the Quincy, it was a purer and more chaotic black.

It is the "power of emptiness".

After learning that "Hollows" are poison to "Quincy", Kurotsuchi Mayuri has been studying how to utilize the "power of Hollows".

At least, he had figured out how to use it on the soul-blocking membrane during this period of time.

The shadow, which had almost completely devoured the soul-blocking membrane, was like encountering a natural enemy, and was retreating step by step, from occupying four-fifths to three-quarters, and gradually approaching one-half.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Yhwach whispered.

It was clearly the result of the 12th Division, but the name that came out of his mouth was the name of the captain of the 7th Division.

“What a remarkable man.”

"But in this case."

"so be it."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

The shadow on the soul-blocking membrane suddenly stopped retreating, and like a black and white chess piece, it flipped over the half that it now occupied.

Space vibrates.

Half of the original area of ​​Seireitei has undergone tremendous changes.

The familiar streets and team houses were transformed into a complex of inexplicable buildings with completely different styles.

The Shinigami and Quincies fighting on the streets did not disappear as the terrain changed; they remained where they were.

"This is."

The Grim Reapers were confused and terrified.

The extermination divisions were excited and excited by this change in terrain, and their fighting spirit became stronger.

"This is the Ice Palace."

"Your Majesty's great power has replaced the Seireitei."

The morale of the Grim Reapers was hit.

But some people were still clear-headed and called out.

"Don't worry, they're only halfway done, they haven't invaded completely yet."

"It's because of poor intelligence!"

"After learning of this intelligence, we immediately curbed this change."

"The Quincy is not scary."

The battle continues and the shouting of slogans never stops.

First team team building.

Yhwach stared ahead, with the area he was in as the dividing line. On the left was still the Seireitei, and on the right was the Ice Palace.

Half Shinigami, half Quincy.

It was a little different from what he had imagined before.

Couldn't swallow it completely.

Ishida Uryuu stared at Yhwach's back, and his eyes also shifted to look past his back and over the two areas that were clearly separated and had distinct styles.

like
Yhwach's power is not completely invincible and can be restricted.

The Palace of the Spirit King.

Ichigo Kurosaki had just recovered from the huge impact and raised his head.

Into the purpose.
Just a bald head and a streak of blonde hair.

"Uncle Naruto." Kurosaki Ichigo's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a step back, greeting him with a guilty conscience, "Haha, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Didn't I tell you not to get involved in this war?" Naruto said with a straight face and a calm tone, "Why are you still here?"

"What's the matter with the injuries on your body?"

“It’s not serious, but it’s too dense.”

Jiu Lama nodded in agreement, imitating his uncle's tone: "That's right, why don't you even listen to your uncle's words."

"It's Uryu." Kurosaki Ichigo said seriously, "Uryu has joined the Invisible Empire."

Naruto frowned.

That kid from the Ishida family?

He didn't have a deep impression of Ishida Uryu. Most of what he heard from Isshin and Masaki was rumors that Ishida Uryu had a bad relationship with his father Ishida Ryugen.

but.
Ishida Ryugen knew about the existence of Yhwach very early on, and his understanding of this matter may be even clearer than I am now.

Would a man like him let his son go to the Invisible Empire?
"Besides, he is very special." Kurosaki Ichigo continued, frowning, "I can see that he didn't want to join on his own, but was coerced or something for some reason."

"When he came to me, he deliberately conveyed some information."

"Like the holy text, Yhwach possesses 'A', which means he has the power of omniscience and omnipotence."

"Uryuu also possesses 'A', which is a complete opposite. No matter how much attack and damage I inflict on him, it will be completely reflected back to me."

Naruto thought.

This sounds a bit like Haschwald's abilities.

"I can't let him do this." Kurosaki Ichigo clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to look Naruto in the face. "Uncle Naruto, I'm his brother and his friend. I can't just sit there and do nothing about him."

Naruto glanced at the monk.

He blinked his eyes, seriously and devoutly.

Since this involves the Quincy, it couldn't be this guy's doing - although he must have wanted to do something.

"Why did Ishida Uryu go to you?" Naruto thought about it and asked a question, "Just to pass on this information?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned, blinked, recalled the battle that just broke out, and shook his head thoughtfully: "It doesn't seem to be."

"They came to me because of the order of Youhabach."

“But it didn’t say what the specific order was.”

Naruto still stared at the monk, "It seems that Yhwach wants Ichigo to come to Soul Society just as much as you do."

"It is most appropriate for someone like him to stay in Soul Society." The monk said solemnly, still so confident.

Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head.

I always feel that it is not a very appropriate thing to interrupt at this time.

"It seems that you fought with Ishida Uryu, but the result was not satisfactory?" Naruto ignored the monk's words and asked about Kurosaki Ichigo with concern.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked gloomy: "It was a miserable loss."

"The power of that so-called holy text is very strong."

"I thought of the Soul King Palace you mentioned, Uncle Naruto, so I came directly here."

Naruto walked over and patted his shoulder.

"The Soul King Palace can make you stronger." He continued softly, "But it's not a very good place for you."

"You have every kind of power in the world."

"Conceptually, you are the one who is most like the Soul King."

Ichigo Kurosaki said nothing.

Naruto stretched out his hand and gently touched it. The wind blew and wrapped around the monk.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you are overstepping your authority by doing this." the monk said.

Naruto's face was calm as he turned to look at him: "I made it very clear from the beginning, you don't care about Kurosaki Ichigo, but I do."

"I absolutely cannot accept letting an innocent person, a young generation, bear such a heavy, difficult and painful responsibility."

The monk was calm and tried to raise his hands, but the wind restrained his wrists: "There is no other choice except him."

"Why not?" Naruto shook his head. "Kurosaki Ichigo is just the most suitable one, but there are still other ways besides him. It may just be a little more troublesome."

"Quincy, Hollow, Fullbringer, and Death God"

"That's all the power is needed."

The monk didn't say anything, just stared blankly.

"Now I want a promise from you." Naruto spoke without any politeness or mercy, "I want you to promise that no matter what happens, you will not sacrifice innocent people."

"No one is innocent in the face of the fate of the three realms." The monk said confidently, "When there are more suitable options, why choose the more troublesome ones?"

Naruto emphasized: "Kurosaki Ichigo is innocent."

"If it weren't for Ishida Uryu, he shouldn't even be involved in this war."

The monk was stubborn: "Uzumaki Naruto, don't forget your identity. You are the god of death and the captain of the 7th division of the Gotei 13."

"This is just my choice." Naruto raised his hand, the wind blew even harder, his voice faded in the wind, "This is not something that restricts me."

"If words can't convince you"

"Then will you accept other ways of persuasion?"
