Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 276: Soul King Ha, Outside the World, and Shin's Bankai (7K)

At this moment, Naruto destroyed the blue flame arrows surrounding his body and used those spirit particles for his own use.

Look forward.

The portal is still open.

Yhwach disappeared.

With the "Kagura Heart's Eye" spread out, there was no trace of his spiritual pressure within the Soul King Palace.

Where did he go?

Why is this channel still maintained?

Do you want to follow?
Naruto was not afraid of Yhwach's methods. He did not display any attack techniques that were too terrifying and difficult for Naruto to defend against. However, it was possible that he did not know how to use them, but that he did not have the time and opportunity to use them.

Just like it is now.

In order to use the "space transfer" technique, he had to find an opportunity to restrain himself first and then perform the holy spell.
Those spells that may pose a threat to oneself may require some time to perform.

But just in case, it's better to be cautious.

Naruto stretched out his hand and formed a seal.

It is the "Shadow Clone Technique" that has not been used for a long time.

Unlike the previous scenes that covered the sky and the sun, this time only one was split. The clone did not hesitate and stepped into the portal.

Half a minute later.

Naruto still stood in front of the door, with no new information in his mind, and his clone did not return.

"Naruto?" Kurama asked.

Naruto's thoughts were in a mess.

Of course he knew why Jiu Lama would be suspicious.

It's been too long. No matter what's behind the door, or whether Yhwach is there, the clone should return. If it can't return, it should also release itself and pass the information back.

But there is nothing
The clone is imprisoned?
Why did he imprison himself and mistake his clone for himself? But even so, since Youhabach imprisoned "himself", he should kill himself.

No matter what, the "disbandment" of the clone should be the only outcome.

It is hard to think of a conclusion based on the battle logic of the "Death God" and the "Quincy".

But what if we think from the combat logic of "Ninja"?
The fighting of a ninja is all about "deception" and "hiding", and after obtaining "useful information", he can kill with one strike.

This is also something that Youhabach can do.

As early as when he was fighting against "Yamamoto Genryusai", he had used some deceptive tricks.

Then
For Youhabach, what does he need to gain in order to feel confident that he can surpass himself?

As soon as the question came to mind, the answer immediately emerged.

Spiritual King!

He was absorbing the power of the Spirit King at the very beginning.

But isn’t there his spiritual pressure in the Spirit King’s Palace?

Naruto lowered his head, and the "Kagura Heart's Eye" spread out again, covering the entire area where the Soul King Palace was located.

Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, Shunsui Kyoraku.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi!
The densely packed Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

One of them is in the Palace of the Spirit King.

Naruto was startled, but reacted immediately, raising his hand high, and the power of the Uzumaki and the "Kurama Sage" gathered and condensed into a thick, sharp spear.

He threw it hard, aiming at "Nutara Mayuri" in the Soul King's Palace.

No matter whether the person inside is Yhwach who gave him the "Kurobuta Mayuri Reiatsu" as he guessed, or is really Kurotsuchi Mayuri's clone.

In this situation, whoever is inside will die.

The air broke open, and the wind swept it up, giving it more power.

The buildings were destroyed as far as the spearhead pointed.

The smoke and dust were pushed to the sides and did not block the view.

The spear pierced through.

In the Soul King's Palace, the one who possessed the spiritual pressure of "Kurobuta Mayuri" was, as Naruto had guessed, not "Kurobuta Mayuri" himself, but Yhwach who bestowed "Kurobuta Mayuri's spiritual pressure" on himself.

The portal in the sky that leads to another space is just a feint.

The purpose is to delay time in order to achieve his real goal - to devour the power of the Spirit King.

The heart has been absorbed by him.

The amber split into two halves, and black viscous spiritual pressure continued to seep out from the gap, flowing into Youhabach's body.

Only half a minute passed.

The "Spirit King" in the amber doesn't seem to have changed much. He is dead and has nothing to do with the Three Realms.

Can.
Youhabach was visibly swollen. The power of the Soul King seemed to be too "abundant" for him. Just like obese people always have small bumps called "fat particles" on their bodies, those densely packed things also grew on Youhabach's body.

Clusters of small black bumps gathered on his body.

A group of feet.

There was also a mushroom-shaped hat on its head, but it was filled with the same dark and sticky spiritual energy as the substance on its feet. Its round, golden eyes were inlaid on the hat like gems.

After being discovered by Naruto.

His aura changed and became complex, the "Nutra Mayuri" part dissipated, leaving only the power of the Quincy mixed with the power of the Soul King.

Before this, they were restrained by Yhwach, preventing them from escaping and being discovered by Naruto.

Now everything is exposed.

There is no need to be restrained.

They rushed out wantonly, a long rolling river, not a liquid, but flowing in it were huge and countless small black creatures, one-eyed, human-like, and full of hatred, directed at the death gods surrounding the Soul King's Palace.

"You reacted really quickly." Yhwach opened his mouth, and the joy that came from the bottom of his heart could not help but overflow. "I thought this little trick of mine could stop you for a long time."

"but."

"It's too late."

Yhwach grinned, "Now the power of the Soul King has returned."

The words haven't finished yet.

Golden Flash——

It flashed down from the sky, like the sun concentrating all its warmth and power into a bright and powerful beam of light that struck down directly.

With a little more strength, Yhwach had more energy than before, and he shook his body to dodge the slash.

Naruto's attack wasn't him either.

I just want to sever the connection between the Soul King's power and Yhwach, just like I did at the beginning.

Only this time, the attack failed.

Yhwach waved his hand and flew out of the gap in the palace: "It's useless, Uzumaki Naruto, you can't stop me."

"I am the Spirit King now."

"You can't stop what originally belonged to me from returning to me."

Just as he said, even if the link was severed, the spiritual power flowing from the Soul King's body still "returned" to Yhwach's body in different ways, almost "finding ways" to do so.

He was still wearing that weird "hat" with all those eyes on it.

Peeking around inappropriately.

Like a newborn baby, looking at the world.

In a sense, he is not much different from a "newborn baby" at this moment.

Naruto looked serious as he stared at Yhwach.

He became the Spirit King?
Not only the improvement in strength.

He was more worried about something else.
"I saw it." Yhwach suddenly paused, his tone becoming fanatical, "Uzumaki Naruto, I saw you."

Naruto thought to himself, "As expected."

He knew it
After obtaining the "Power of the Spirit King" and becoming a being of the same level as the "Spirit King", one will be able to glimpse this information.

It is incredible to travel between "two worlds".

Perhaps it was an accidental special event caused by luck, and the Spirit King took advantage of it after learning about it.

But after the Soul King told him "Don't let yourself prevent his death", Naruto was more inclined to believe that the reason why he came to this world was not some accidental special event, but that the Soul King "chosen" him.

"No wonder before this, even though I possess omniscience and omnipotence, I couldn't see through your future." Yhwach suddenly realized.

"I have made many assumptions about your identity."

"But this truth still surprises me. The power of the Spirit King can actually reach this level."

He paused.

All the eyes in the head were staring straight at Naruto.

"We will pull you, who don't belong to our world, into our world." He shouted. His voice was not loud, but his spirit vibrated, transmitting these words to the ears of everyone present, even those in the Spirit King Palace.

Naruto subconsciously turned his head and his eyes fell on the people outside the door.

Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes widened. "What do you mean by this, someone who doesn't belong to our world?"

"Idiot." Ishida Uryuu cursed and explained, "Uncle Naruto is from another world."

Kurosaki Ichigo said "Oh" and scratched his head: "Why did he deliberately tell us this?"

The "he" he mentioned refers to Youhabach.

Ishida Uryu stared at Kurosaki Ichigo.

He couldn't figure out whether his distant brother really didn't understand why Yhwach did this, or was just pretending to be stupid.

Isn't it obvious?
In order to "create alienation".

Otherwise he wouldn't have to emphasize "our world" so much in his words.
"It's incredible, another world." Kurotsuchi Mayuri pounded his hands, his facial features twisted exaggeratedly, his eyes rolled, and several ideas immediately floated out of his mind, "No wonder Captain Uzumaki can come up with another completely different knowledge system."

"I thought he was one of those geniuses who just gets flashes of inspiration."

"I see."

He rubbed his hands, his eyes glowing with fervor: "No wonder he was so defensive against me and never let me research him in depth."

"Urahara, you treat him well."

Just raising a question.

Urahara Kisuke immediately shook his head.

"Aren't you curious about the other world and how it differs from ours?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri leaned over and said in a bewitching tone, "Just the things that Captain Uzumaki has shown are enough for us to study for a hundred years."

"Not to mention anything else."

"For example, why is Vice Captain Kurama inside Captain Uzumaki's body? The two of them seem to have a strange symbiotic relationship. In another world, would it be the same?"

"He also mentioned the concept of 'Jinchūriki' before."

The captain of the 12th Division gushed.

Before he could convince Urahara Kisuke, he had already been convinced by the "beautiful future scene" he had described.

Urahara Kisuke coughed twice, interrupting his enjoyment: "Captain Nirvana, if you are willing to ask nicely, maybe Naruto will give you some research projects."

"But don't think about the other world."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at him.

Urahara Kisuke whispered: "Does it matter whether Naruto is from another world or not?"

"No matter who he is, he is still the most likely successor to the captain-general position, the current captain of the 7th Division, and the Uzumaki Naruto who will lend a helping hand without hesitation when his friends are in trouble."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri understood the implication: "You knew this a long time ago? Did Captain Uzumaki tell you?"

"It's not important?" Urahara Kisuke shook his head.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri frowned and ignored him, still thinking: "It seems that it was not Naruto who told you, but you had guessed it before."

"When?"

"Recently?"

He looked into Urahara Kisuke's eyes, read the look in them, and rejected that statement.

"That was when you first came into contact with Naruto?"

Urahara Kisuke's eyes slightly avoided: "It's not important."

"It was at that time." Kurotsuchi Mayuri had a deadpan expression and clenched his fists. "This is very important, Urahara."

"I have been with Captain Uzumaki for so long, and I have never made such speculations."

"This time, it was my negligence."

Urahara Kisuke smiled helplessly.

In the Seireitei.

"Captain Naruto is from another world?" Soi-Feng raised her head and looked at the sky. "Whose voice is this, saying such a thing!"

The Seventh Squadron's barracks.

Inside the room, the three people all heard the words coming from the sky, but their expressions did not change much.

"That voice is Yhwach." Yamamoto Genryusai said softly, "It seems that he was also forced into a desperate situation by Naruto and used such a despicable trick."

"It's so unforgivable!"

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's just that...
For a situation like theirs, there is no need to believe or care.

Now the entire Soul Society needs Uzumaki Naruto to save it, so why bother about such trivial matters as "whether he is from this world or not?"

"But we need to appease the ordinary soldiers." Yamamoto Genryusai was silent for a while, raised his hand and tapped the table lightly, "This kind of rumor, which is not sure whether it is true or not, can easily affect Naruto."

"Harusui, this matter will be handled by you and Komamura."

The 9th Division is a rather special unit among the Gotei 13. Although it is called the "prison division", in fact, the most important responsibility of the 9th Division is "propaganda".

The 9th Squad is responsible for editing the largest circulation publication within the Gotei 13, Seireitei News.

The establishment of some organizations within Soul Society, such as the Female Death God Association and the Male Death God Association, requires the approval of the 9th Division.

"What should we do?" Kyoraku Shunsui waved his hand, "Should we explain the situation to them, or..."

"What do you think?" Yamamoto Genryusai thought for a moment and asked, "In my opinion, I would naturally deny this absurd statement."

"There's no need to cause unnecessary panic."

Kyoraku Shunsui said softly: "Why is it panic?"

Yamamoto Genryusai was stunned.

"What is Naruto's other identity? Does it matter?" Kyoraku Shunsui's voice was still low, but firm, "As long as we stand firmly on his side."

"Not as Youhabach hoped."

"Then to any Shinigami, Uzumaki Naruto has not changed. He is still the captain of the Seventh Division."

"There's nothing wrong with admitting it."

Ukitake Jushiro nodded, echoing Kyoraku Shunsui's words: "Naruto has always been an honest person."

"If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not."

"Since it's about Naruto, let's do it Naruto's way."

Yamamoto Genryusai was silent for a while, then said: "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Above the Spirit King Palace.

"You're yelling so loudly?" Naruto looked calm as he stared at the strange creature opposite him, which was very different from humans. "So you're the type who, after knowing a little secret of others, will be impatient to tell the world?"

"This is no little secret." Yhwach shook his head. "This is a major event that affects the entire world."

"But why?"

He asked such a question out of confusion.

"What did you do to me?" Naruto lowered his head. He realized that there was a strange spiritual power in his body, but it belonged to him. "Give me something?"

Youhabach did not answer: "You are not from this world"

"I can see that not only are you not from this world, you can even return to your original world."

"The survival of this world has nothing to do with you, why are you trying to stop me?"

He reached out his hand and tapped gently.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I am omniscient and omnipotent."

"I can see their reactions after hearing the news."

"Do you want to know?"

Naruto simply said: "I don't want to."

He stretched out his hand, and the power of the vortex condensed and combined with the power of the "Nine-Lama Sage", turning into a spear. Just like before, it was straight and majestic, and unlike before, it had to be restrained to be careful not to accidentally hurt the Spirit King.

The momentum is strong and sinking.

Youhabach stretched out his hand and pointed with his index finger.

He blocked the spear, but not as calmly as he appeared. His fingertips were pierced and red blood and black spiritual pressure kept pouring out of the wound.

He wanted to approach Naruto's attack with the most calmness, so as to cause the greatest psychological damage to his enemy.

just
He somewhat overestimated his abilities at this moment.

I also underestimated Naruto's attack.

But there was not much change in his expression. It had come to this point and showing weakness would only make things worse.

"I grant it the ability to reflect reality."

Youhabach spoke, high and mighty, as if he were a true god of the Unique Church.

The spear twisted, expanded, stretched, and grew larger, becoming a mirror in the blink of an eye.

In the mirror, ripples are spreading.

"Who do you want to know what they think of you?" Yhwach waved his hand thoughtfully. In order to show that this level of injury had no effect on him, he didn't even use the "gifted" ability to heal himself.

Naruto didn't answer and launched a second wave of attack.

"Then let's take a look at Yamamoto Shigekuni." He raised his other hand and pointed with his finger.

The Seventh Squad’s barracks immediately appeared in the mirror.

Yamamoto Genryusai was furious: "This damn Uzumaki Naruto has been deceiving me for so many years."

"He is not from this world, but he managed to get the position of captain. What does he want to do?"

"There is such a huge hidden danger right under my nose."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, "I didn't expect that Uzumaki Naruto would be of this identity."

Ukitake Jushiro frowned and said, "I misjudged him. I felt pity for him at first. I should have killed him when he didn't understand the real world."

Malice.

The malice is overwhelming.

In his inner world, Jiu Lama was stunned and gritted his teeth.

Yhwach tapped lightly, and the mirror began to transform.

Every one of Naruto's acquaintances showed up, and each of them performed very poorly.

Unohana Retsu was disappointed, Shihouin Yoruichi complained, and Soi Fong shouted that she wanted to kill herself.

Komamura Sajin wants to sever ties with me.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi wanted to study himself.

Aizen was laughing at Naruto for reaping the fruits of his own action.

"They. How could they say that!" Kurama's voice trembled, and his strength drained away with every word he uttered. Even the "Six Paths Sage Mode" on Naruto's body began to become unstable.

"Do you think it's true?" Naruto asked it back.

Jiu Lama was silent.

It was unwilling to believe it. Based on its understanding of those people, it was impossible for these guys to believe Yhwach's words so frivolously and say such cold-blooded and ruthless words.

However, the person who was hurt, even if it was a fox, would be like a frightened bird.

When the "bowstring" sounds, the wound will hurt dully.

Naruto shook his head and stared at Yhwach: "This guy deceived the captain as soon as he appeared and used a fake stand-in to gather information."

"You just used Kurotsuchi Mayuri's spiritual pressure to trick us."

"Now."

"Do you still think this is real?"

Jiu Lama was shaken and nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right, he is deceiving us."

"It seems that you are unwilling to accept this fact." Yhwach stretched out his hand, and the black spiritual pressure in his body surged, swallowing up the mirror. "But at this moment, I have become the Soul King. The destruction of the entire world depends on my thoughts."

"Your death is just a thought away from me."

"I don't have to lie to you."

Naruto looked at him, his tone calm and his expression calm, "The world isn't over yet, is it?"

Unlike Jiu Lama, he really wasn't affected at all.

"Whether what you said is true or false, it will not affect what is happening now." Naruto said as he stretched out his hand, and the wind of the world blew at this time and rushed towards his hand.

The blade of the "vortex" condensed, and in the chaotic "universe", a world was seemingly wrapped in a trance.

"If it's true, why would you still do that to such a person?" Yhwach emphasized again.

Naruto interrupted him: "If it's true, it's between me and them."

"It's up to me and them to solve it."

"Instead of allowing a third party like you to destroy the world."

Yhwach clicked his tongue, his expression gloomy.

He likes to destroy his opponents psychologically.

Like
He saw that Yamamoto Genryusai was about to die at the hands of his own Zanpakutō.

Like
When Ichigo Kurosaki was manipulated by himself to kill the Soul King, he put the sin of "destroying the world" on him.

And now, he also hopes to destroy Naruto in this way.

However, it didn't have any effect.

"I've been with them for so long, I believe they won't do such a thing." Naruto smiled brightly, "Just like I always believe in them."

"I feel that they will always trust me as much as I trust them."

"Except for Mayuri Kurotsuchi, of course."

"I'm afraid he really wants to study me."

Under the palace of King Ling.

Having his mind blown, Mayuri Kurotsuchi shook his head.

"What's the point of believing?" Yhwach stretched out his hand. Even if Naruto pried the spirit particles in the entire Soul King Palace, he could still give this place new spirit particles and then condense his own sword. "You have already lost."

"You lose when I cheat for the second time."

Naruto shook his head, "Do you know why the Soul King chose to bring me into this world?"

Yhwach responded: "Because you are an unexpected factor."

"You can't let me observe."

Naruto smiled and said, "Yeah, it was an accident."

He paused, just like the knife in my hand.

Yhwach was stunned, staring at the sword called "Uzumaki".

"Although I am no longer a complete god of death in terms of power." Naruto continued, "However, since I have chosen to continue to be a god of death, the sword in my hand is still a Zanpakuto."

“That hasn’t changed.”

"Zanpakutō's Bankai, or Shinkai, is a strengthening of Shikai."

"But when I simply use 'Shikai', I can disrupt any tangible object."

"Whether it's your technique or your body."

"In terms of scope, I even think it could affect the entire Soul Society."

"Then do you know how this sword's Bankai is strengthened?"

Yhwach's heart sank.

He grasped the key point and knew that the most important word in Naruto's words was "tangible".

This is the only limitation of the "Vortex".

Then
The strengthening of “real fighting” should be “disrupting the invisible”?
Naruto read his emotions and nodded: "Yes, you guessed it right."

"The Uzumaki's true strike is to disrupt invisible things. This is why I have refrained from using this power since I obtained it."

"It's very powerful. I'm afraid that if it has any impact, others won't be able to bear it."

"but--"

"Just like the captain, Mayuri Kurohara, and Kisuke Urahara always say, sometimes you have to take risks for a better result."

“These are the responsibilities and sins that decision makers should bear.”

Naruto waved lightly.

"I am ready to bear the guilt that may happen."

"Youhabach, let's end this here."

He paused, raised the knife gently, held it level in front of his chest, and pointed it at the man opposite him.

"Really fighting——"

"Naruto Uzushio."

A name without those complicated words, just a simple and true one.

The wind died down.

Youhabach was stunned, his mind was blank at this moment.

It was as if he didn't react to what happened.

No.
It's not that I didn't react, it's that I couldn't react.

The "omniscience and omnipotence" blessed by the power of the Spirit King was "distorted and disturbed", and a ball of hemp rope was tangled in his mind.

The "Power of the Spirit King" that was originally inseparable from him and formed an integral whole also collapsed at this moment and fled from this body that had become a "mediocre person".

Yhwach raised his hand.

Although he lost his omniscience and omnipotence, he still retained his Quincy abilities.

The sacred arrow of destruction condenses.

The next second—

Easily scattered and disrupted.

He reacted.

自己
Really lost.
