From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 325: It’s getting intense. Have you traveled to the world after death?
By the river in the lush green forest, Roronoa Zoro was holding a fish in his hand, preparing to take it back to the camp to grill it.

On a high but flat land not far from the river, Weber swung a hand axe and chopped some dry wood, intending to make a campfire.

Robin and the others were also busy with their own things, helping to build temporary camps and the like.

"It's really troublesome. I brought so many things with me, but in the end, I still have to survive in the wild using primitive methods." Fubuki used her ability to absorb as much moisture as possible from the chopped wood and helped Weber prepare firewood.

"Who told this guy to completely lose consciousness before he could even say anything?" Nami said as she wiped Bane's face with a wet towel.

At this moment, in the center of the camp, on a simple small wooden bed, Bane was lying with a calm expression and eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

But in fact, no matter what methods Zoro, Fubuki and others used, they could not wake up Bane.

After two slaps, Bane remained motionless, with no sign of regaining consciousness.

If his breathing and heartbeat were not still normal, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was dead.

"We don't know what kind of world this is. Bane has this situation inexplicably. We dare not act rashly and have contact with the outside world at will," said Robin as he washed some picked fruits.

"But it's not a good idea to just keep dragging it on like this." Weber sighed as he chopped a piece of firewood.

"Today is only the first day. Judging from Bane's condition, he doesn't seem to be in great danger. But we can't just keep waiting like this. If he hasn't woken up after three days, we'll have to leave this forest and investigate the situation outside. We'll see if we can find a local doctor or something to check on him and see what's going on. Maybe what seems strange to us is the norm here?" Nami said as she fed Bane some clean water.

Early this morning, Bane opened the portal and brought them to this unknown world.

As a result, after they arrived, before everyone had even said a few words, Bane suddenly seemed to have received a call. He looked a little puzzled and was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he fainted.

This situation really made everyone panic. After all, regardless of the feelings, if Bane died, they would never be able to go back!
In addition, all the supplies brought from the Empire were stored in Bane's dark space. Once he fell unconscious, the rest of the people had nothing and had to start surviving in the wild directly.

Bane is in a strange state now, and the others don't know the situation in the outside world. For the time being, they cannot easily contact the outside world to avoid any accidents.

"Nami is right." Zoro handed the fish in his hand to Fubuki and said, "It's not a good idea to keep wasting time here. If Bane doesn't regain consciousness in three days, we'll have to find a solution outside."

"Uncle Bane, please wake up soon." Nami prayed secretly while wiping some water stains from the corners of Bane's mouth.

At the same time, in a dark and endless desolate land.

Bane's consciousness. No, judging from the faint green light emanating from his body, this is his soul.

Bane, in his spirit form, was carefully searching for any suspicious clues, trying to determine where he was and why he came here.

After randomly choosing a door of a certain color and entering, Bane immediately felt a voice and a will in this world that seemed to be calling him.

Just when he was wondering, he suddenly closed his eyes and opened them again, and his soul came to this ghost place, which was desolate and he could not feel anything. If it were not for his clear consciousness and the power of his soul reminding him, he would have thought that he had traveled through time again inexplicably.

This place is barren and has no signs of life. Ben squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of fine sand under his feet, and observed it carefully for a while. He frowned and said, "It's almost the same texture as where I was two hours ago. With my strength, I should have walked a long way."

Having said that, he raised his eyes and looked forward. The limit of his vision was dim, as if he would never see the end.

There is clearly no light source around, but wherever you go, the things around you are illuminated, or it's as if you have awakened dark vision and can see.

"There is no life in the soul body. It feels desolate. Could it really be the underworld or something?" Bane pondered in his heart.

As early as when he discovered that he came here in the state of soul, he had already had some guesses, suspecting that this was the underworld, Huangquan, or other places where one would arrive after death.

"Then what exactly is the situation with me being summoned? Am I the only one who was summoned, or were Nami and the others all summoned here but just separated? If it's just one person, it's okay, perhaps it has something to do with my soul power, but if everyone is summoned here, then the problem will be troublesome. Who knows, this world may have some special prevention mechanism for people from other worlds?" Bane thought about this in his mind, stood up, threw away the sand in his hand, and walked towards the distance again with a serious expression.

There was no means of measuring time, and even counting in one's mind would be meaningless because it took too long. Just when Bane didn't even know how long he had been walking here, suddenly, as if at the edge of his vision, he saw a ray of fire.

This made Bane, who was already a little irritated, happy, and he quickened his pace and rushed over there.

In the endless wasteland, there was indeed a bonfire with firewood burning in it, and next to it was a small stone pier, on which sat a figure who looked very lonely, with his back to the direction where Bane was coming.

The closer he got, the more clearly Bane could see the situation over there, and he became quite confused.

There was nothing in this place, where did that figure come from? How did he make a fire here? Where did he get the firewood?
For this purpose, he carefully observed the surroundings again to make sure that he was still in a wasteland. At least as far as he could see, there was no woodland at all.

But this was almost the only variable, and Bane ignored these doubts and gradually approached. The figure sitting on the stone pier with his back to him should be a man, wearing a light green vest and with silver-white hair.

"Why does it look familiar?" Bane thought to himself.

But familiarity is a good thing. It means that he may have an impression. If he has an impression, it is very likely that he understands this world. Of course, the premise is that he can determine where exactly this is.

As if hearing the noise coming from behind, the motionless, dead figure sitting on the stone block warming itself by the fire suddenly opened its eyes, as if waking up.

He looked at the campfire in front of him, his eyes somewhat dazed and confused, as if he had just taken a nap, and for a moment he didn't know what time it was.

But it only took a moment for him to come to his senses and seemed to remember what he was doing.

"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kakashi." The man listened to the footsteps behind him, his tone with a sense of vicissitudes, and slowly turned around and said.

Then, he stared at Bane, who happened to be walking behind him, and both of them looked a little embarrassed and confused.

"Who are you?!" The man suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise.

"Me?" Bane raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck, and said a little embarrassedly: "My name is Bane, Cantis Bane."

He felt that the place looked familiar, but as soon as he got closer, the guy said something pretentiously like "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kakashi". Bane reacted instantly and realized what the hell this place was!
Damn, the pure land of the Naruto world!
This lonely-looking soul in front of me, if nothing unexpected happens, is Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo!

Is there any father like this? When your son dies and comes to the Pure Land, you say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you finally came." Isn't this like hoping that your son will die sooner?
Hatake Sakumo was just questioning Bane instinctively out of doubt.

As a result, Ben's serious answer made him feel confused, but out of courtesy, Hatake Sakumo stood up from the stone pier and nodded in greeting, "Ah, hello, my name is Hatake Sakumo. Are you dead too?"

Bane???

If you don’t know how to say hello, you don’t have to, thank you.

But considering that this old man has been lonely here for who knows how many years and has some problems with his brain, it is understandable.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I should not be dead. I just got here by mistake." Bane said to Hatake Sakumo.

After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo said with some approval: "It is indeed very possible. After all, this is also the way for my soul to return. Normally, only Kakashi can come here. Ah, Kakashi is my son. Because there are some things that I really want to say after I die, for this reason, I stopped on this road and have been waiting for him."

At this point, Hatake Sakumo asked excitedly: "What time is it in the present world? Have you been to the Land of Fire? I am a ninja from Konoha. I think my son Hatake Kakashi should be able to become a good and famous ninja. Have you heard of him?"

Hatake Sakumo still recognized his son's talent and gifts. He expressed his will to the Pure Land and wanted to wait for his son here. According to the response of the Pure Land, as long as Kakashi's soul returned to the Pure Land, he would definitely meet him. Now that he has not met him, it means that his son is very likely still alive, otherwise his soul has been scattered or sealed.

It shouldn't be that tragic, right?

And if he were still alive, with Kakashi's talent, he would have become an excellent and famous ninja, right?

Ben thought to himself, how the hell do I know what time it is? I just came here, looked around the forest, didn't see anyone, and suddenly I was called to this hellhole. How do I know what's going on outside?

But considering that Hatake Sakumo is dead and Kakashi has not come to see him yet, the time point outside should be before Pain destroyed Konoha.

The specific situation varies greatly. Maybe Kakashi hasn't got the Sharingan yet and is still a little kid, or maybe Kakashi is already teaching Team 7.

After all, the time here is difficult to determine. Hatake Sakumo said something like "I've been waiting for you for a long time" on the surface, but from his questions, we can tell that he doesn't know how long he has been dead.

"I have heard of the famous Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo." Bane smiled and continued, "As for your son Hatake Kakashi, he is very famous. He is known as the Copy Ninja and is known as the best technician in Konoha."

There was no need to worry about what was happening in the outside world. If nothing unexpected happened, Kakashi would die at the hands of Pein. By then, what Bane said was normal. Even if it wasn't normal, what would it matter? It was no big deal.

Listening to Bane describing Kakashi's life in detail, Hatake Sakumo was also very excited and happy. It seemed that at least his suicide did not ruin his son. He was not a competent father, but Kakashi was good enough and was a son he should be proud of.

After Bane finished talking about Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo was also very emotional, and said with some regret: "It seems that he is still very young. I am afraid I will have to wait here for a long time. But this is also a good thing. If both of us, father and son, died so early, it would be too sad."

After sighing for a while, Hatake Sakumo looked at Ben and said, "Well, I can see that you have a lot of things you want to ask me. In exchange for information and as a thank you, I will try my best to answer your questions."
