Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

The greatsword slammed heavily onto the mask, cracking it.

Kisame Hoshigaki's left foot was pierced by a branch, and blood flowed freely, but he seemed to feel no pain, and with a ferocious expression, he slammed the greatsword down again.

boom!

The cracked bone mask shattered instantly.

A dark, polluted aura emanated from the shattered mask, and the massive body of the Fallen Void crashed to the ground.

"Hungry, so hungry."

The Void of Depravity uttered painful murmurs, beginning from the emptiness in its chest, a symbol of insatiable desire, and dissipated at an alarming speed.

Clang.

A broken, rusty blade fell from the flesh and blood of the Fallen Void.

This is the unreleased Zanpakuto wielded by the apprentice Shinigami it once killed; it is also known as Asauchi.

It contains a faint trace of the power of death.

【Rusty Reaper Asahi】

Type: Job-related props

Effect: After plunging the broken blade into the chest, there is a chance to gain the power of death.

Note: No more running away, having a dialogue with one's own soul, those who know the true name of their soul are called Death.

Chapter 69 Zanpakutō

"The power of death, a weapon formed from a soul?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected him to possess such a strange ability.

Such a thing has never been heard of in the ninja world.

Fang Yi was slightly surprised.

When Kisame was teleported to Hueco Mundo, he thought that the other party would be compatible with Hollow-related abilities and professions.

Constantly bearing the falsehood of betraying their comrades, escaping reality, they could easily fall into Hollow form in the world of Bleach.

But to his surprise, the last thing that appeared in front of Kisame was a rusty asagi.

The power of death.

A substance completely different from Hollow power, from the moment one masters a Zanpakuto, one must gradually engage in dialogue with one's own soul, explore the secrets deep within the soul, and learn the name of the soul.

For someone like Kisame, who lives in confusion and pain, the difficulty of connecting with the power of the Shinigami is immense.

"To forge a blade with one's soul is the perfect choice!"

After a moment of silence, Kisame suddenly smiled.

No wonder I was teleported to this place during the trial; it was all for the sake of encountering this rusty, broken sword.

"A traitor like me, perhaps only by keeping company with my soul can I bring peace of mind to everyone."

Kisame reached out and grasped the rusty sword, a surge of intense energy rushing into his arm.

He had a feeling,

If one cannot control the power of death, one may very well die—a true death of the soul.

Even after being resurrected by the game, one no longer has the right to communicate with one's own soul.

"Let me open my eyes wide and see clearly what the depths of my soul, the soul of this traitor, truly look like?"

Kisame let out a deep roar, like a shark baring its fangs.

He gripped the rusty knife with his other hand and plunged it into his heart.

Fang Yi sensed the scene within the trial.

Recalling Kisame's experiences, after being betrayed countless times, he chose to turn his blade against the superior who gave him the orders, the high-ranking ninja in Kirigakure and the previous owner of Samehada.

At that time, he was so angry that he thought he was choosing to betray.

But in Fang Yi's eyes, it was actually the first time Kisame had mustered the courage to rebel against the fate that bound him, and to do cruel things that seemed crazy and illogical to others.

"Rebel against fate?"

Fang Yi glanced at Kisame, whose face was now contorted with grotesque features due to the corruption of the Grim Reaper's power.

can only say,

Being a ninja is a terrible profession.

The ninja world is also pitiful. It was originally a very ordinary ancient world, but aliens planted a divine tree and forcibly induced the growth of chakra fruits.

Although the Sage of Six Paths sealed Kaguya, he passed on his chakra, which subtly elevated the world's power system, but he did not experience the process of creating it from scratch.

This resulted in the ninja world being like a deformed product that had been prematurely matured.

Despite their outdated system and naive ideas, they possess abilities that surpass those of ordinary people.

Like a group of naive children firing at each other with firearms, they were fighting for the few resources in the most primitive and barbaric way.

To put it in some classic chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) language.

What is wrong is this world.

Inside the training grounds,

Kisame's skin turned bright red from the steam, as if he had been doused with scalding water, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face as his body trembled incessantly.

This is pain that originates from the soul.

In the original work, Ichigo Kurosaki was the chosen one, possessed the bloodline of a Shinigami, and had Rukia willingly offer her Shinigami power to him for adoption, making everything very logical.

Kisame, however, is different. Lacking bloodline and affinity, he can only rely on his own will to resist the power of the Shinigami to modify his soul.

Fortunately, it was in the trial grounds, where the reincarnation game could help.

Otherwise, ordinary people would have their souls shredded by this deathly power in an instant.

jump.

[Soul Damage Index has reached its maximum. Do you wish to spend 3000 reward points to repair it?]

If you refuse, you will be resurrected on the spot.

This rusty shallow-handled weapon will also disappear as a job-related item, considered a failure to complete the job.

Fang Yi admired Kisame's courage, but the rules couldn't be broken; he absolutely couldn't use his own money to help players.

"repair."

Kisame gritted his teeth and persevered, unwilling to give up all his efforts.

All his ninjutsu were handed over, leaving only his special physique and affinity for water-style techniques, but even those were taken away by the game store.

Next second,

A cool and refreshing sensation flowed through his soul like a mountain spring.

The two energies, combined with the soul-destroying power of the Grim Reaper, interacted and tugged at Kisame's consciousness.

He struggled to keep his consciousness from becoming clouded.

till the end,

A portion of the soul, transformed by the power of the Grim Reaper, began to overflow, covering the body and transforming into a black Shinigami uniform resembling silk.

A brand-new shallow-handled sword hung at his waist, trembling gently.

The pain gradually subsided.

Kisame Hoshigaki collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"This is my Soul Blade?"

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the Shinigami armor that had appeared on his body, and then gripped the brand-new Asauchi sword. He could feel a slight soul fluctuation emanating from the blade.

Extremely familiar and intimate.

It was even stronger than the tacit understanding between him and Samehada. No, this sword was a part of him, so it couldn't be described as just tacit understanding.

[Trial Ended]

The training grounds, like peeling paint on a wall, gradually faded and crumbled.

Kisame blinked, and he was back in reality. Beside him was Uchiha Itachi, who was still undergoing trials, and a mysterious merchant who was looking at him with a smile.

Fang Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "Congratulations! Although you are an apprentice Shinigami who doesn't even know the true name of your Zanpakuto, it's still a rare and high-level profession."

How can I find out the true name of my Zanpakuto?

Kisame Hoshigaki parted his lips, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation in his expression.

He could sense the soul fluctuations emanating from the blade at all times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't resonate with them.

Fang Yi explained, "Once you reach level 15 in the game, you can buy a job change scroll from the shop and participate in a trial related to Shikai to learn the true name of your Zanpakuto."

Of course, if Kisame Hoshigaki is exceptionally talented, he could also unleash his Zanpakuto on his own.

This is unlikely.

After all, even among the original inhabitants of the Bleach world, there are a large number of souls who cannot awaken their Zanpakuto or become Shinigami.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Shinigami's Shikai is weak in the later stages; their Bankai are everywhere.

However, a Shinigami who has sufficient spiritual pressure and power to unleash their Zanpakuto is already considered a genius; they would all be top students at the Shinigami Academy of Spiritual Arts.

Outsiders like Kisame Hoshigaki, who became Shinigami with the help of the Reincarnation Game,

Unless he is willing to buy the bloodline of the Shinigami, then spend money to increase his spiritual power and spiritual pressure, and then use the various soul communication potions sold in the store to constantly contact and call upon his Zanpakuto.

Only then will it be possible for him to unleash his Zanpakuto on his own.

While this method can, to some extent, break free from the level requirements of the reincarnation game, the price to pay is extremely high.

Forget about it without hundreds of thousands of reward points.
