Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

The latter struggled to rise.

Naruto kicked him down.

"Hey, have you mastered the initial release? Show me how."

"Shikai?" Kitetsu was completely bewildered. He circulated his chakra and spiritual pressure, trying to free himself from the oppressive spiritual pressure.

Finally, through our efforts, the feeling of pressure lessened considerably.

"No Shikai? Then die." Naruto said with a look of disappointment.

With a single slash, the demon was split in two, leaving a wound from its chest to its shoulder, from which droplets of spiritual energy spilled out.

The Grim Reaper is composed of chakra and spirit particles and does not bleed, but the spirit particles in his body will flow when he is injured.

Once the spiritual energy is depleted, death will occur.

"Your Root organization conducted unauthorized human experiments, transforming me into something neither human nor demon." Kitetsu stumbled to his feet, gripping his azuki cleaver tightly, his head bowed, his expression unreadable, but his tone was filled with suppressed anger.

"When Konoha was facing a crisis, you were also conducting this kind of experiment that goes against the laws of nature."

"I will not die!"

"Because I want to kill you!" He suddenly raised his head, his mind filled with countless nightmares from day and night.

That black figure that I can see but never touch in my dreams, always with its back to me.

He had asked countless times, "Who are you? Where is this?"

There was no reply from the other party. This time, extreme anger finally snapped the string of reason in his mind.

His consciousness reappeared in that space.

He saw the dark figure move its lips.

"Remember, my name is Ghost Shadow."

When his consciousness returned, he looked at Naruto with uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes.

With a playful smile on his face, Naruto held his Zanpakuto horizontally in front of him.

"Root ninjas, they really are inhuman."

"Dance, ghost."

Chapter 138 The Ninety Black Coffins of Breaking the Dao

"Cold, I can feel the coldness all over my body, but it's a very comfortable kind of cold, as if I have a complete sense of my body." Black energy emanated from the Zanpakuto, and Kitetsu's entire body gradually became blurred.

Like smoke, it will dissipate with a gust of wind.

"Oh? It's actually Shikai? This is getting interesting." Naruto smiled and elegantly pointed the tip of Kyoka Suigetsu at Kitetsu.

"Let me see what kind of magnanimity a Shinigami from Konoha can possess."

You will see.

Gui Tetsu dared not be careless in the face of the mastermind who had turned him into a monster.

He glanced at the shimmering Kyoka Suigetsu in Naruto's hand, a chill running down his spine: "He also possesses a sword; he should also be able to use Shikai! I must be careful."

"It seems the roots have already mastered this power. This is truly dangerous."

"Aren't you going to make a move? Or is it that your fear won't allow you to strike first?" Naruto's gentle voice rang out.

"Don't look down on me." Kitetsu moved, closing in on Naruto at lightning speed, and unleashed a slash.

"Hmm? Similar to Instant Step, but also has a hint of Body Flicker Technique. He actually figured out a decent footwork technique on his own." Naruto raised an eyebrow: "Unfortunately, it's still far from being as good as Instant Step."

"Clang." Kyoka Suigetsu blocked the attack. Naruto was about to counterattack when he was shocked to find that Kitetsu in front of him had vanished like smoke.

The next moment, my hair stood on end, and a powerful gust of air generated by the rapid swing of the sword attacked from behind.

Kitetsu emerged from the shadows behind Naruto like a ghost.

It blends into the shadows; it seems this is the power of the Onikiri Shikai.

The upper limit of this ability is quite good; entering the shadow can make one immune to many attacks.

If developed to its fullest potential, it might be able to control other people's shadows.

This ability reminded Naruto of the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique.

"Not bad." Naruto lightly tapped his fingertip, dodging the attack, and then slashed back with his sword.

Strangely, the Kitetsu disappeared into the ground, only to reappear in Naruto's shadow a moment later, moving alongside Naruto.

"It's useless. As long as you have a shadow, I am invincible." Kitetsu laughed wildly, continuously launching attacks on Naruto's back.

"Oh?" Naruto turned around unhurriedly and repelled Kitetsu with a single strike.

The boiling spiritual pressure and power left Kitetsu looking utterly frustrated.

One has just mastered Shikai, and the other has been a Shinigami for a long time.

High judgment.

The two are not in the same league at all.

"Binding Path No. 9: Collapse Wheel".

Under Oni-tetsu's astonished gaze, a yellow rope made of spirit particles completely bound him.

Under the restraints, even the spiritual pressure within his body seemed to slow down a bit.

"This isn't ninjutsu?!"

He tried to break free, but the chains binding him were too strong.

It's as if they were born to restrain themselves.

“After all, he only recently became a Shinigami and isn’t yet familiar with his own power.” Naruto shook his head inwardly, his tone cold: “Although he’s a bit weak, he’s still a decent spice in the mission.”

"You have great research value, but unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to study you. So don't blame me, blame yourself for being too weak."

"Weakness is always the original sin."

"A faint, murky emblem, an unruly and mad aura, emerges yet is denied; paralysis instantly thwarts the long slumber; the crawling steel princesses, one after another, destroy their clay puppets; unite, rebound, cover the earth, and know your own powerlessness."

"Hado No. 90: Black Coffin".

A black coffin filled with boiling death energy enveloped Oni-tetsu.

There was complete silence, not even a muffled groan of pain.

The underground organization was filled with the deathly aura emanating from the black coffins.

A few seconds later, the black coffin vanished into thin air.

The demon within had closed its eyes and was slowly withering away like a snowflake.

until it disappears.

"As expected of the 90th Kido, its power is truly immense." Naruto withdrew his hand and muttered to himself expressionlessly.

During his training at Mount Myōboku, his spiritual pressure training progressed relatively quickly, and this was his first attempt at the 90th level of Hōdō.

While its power is immense, it also consumes a huge amount of spiritual pressure.

His body felt exhausted after just one shot at the black coffin.

"It seems we need to find a way to enter the Pure Land as soon as possible," Naruto said with a gloomy face.

The rate at which his spiritual pressure increases is still too slow, which means he still needs to be bound by Konoha's restrictions.

After the battle, Naruto used the Resurrection Technique to heal Rock Lee and Nero Aburame. Then, he took out his tongs and carefully removed a piece of flesh from Nero Aburame's body, happily keeping it as a keepsake.

Upon closer inspection, one can even see worms wriggling within the bits of meat.

"It's wonderful," he couldn't help but whisper.

After receiving simple treatment, both Aburame Nerei and Li Locke awoke.

Seeing the mess on the ground, Aburame Nerei got up to check and was quite surprised: "All the Root Jonin are dead."

"Yes. They're all dead. Take these bodies back with you." Naruto said calmly.

"As expected of the Grim Reaper, in the end we still have to rely on you." Rock Lee, who had just escaped death, remained optimistic and grinned.

"I was just picking up the scraps; they were already badly weakened when I arrived," Naruto replied with a smile.

"Nonsense." Aburame Nerei thought to herself, "That Kitetsu is obviously abnormally strong. It seems that Naruto's strength far exceeds what was described in the intelligence."

"A body like that... it's really something to look forward to."

She withdrew her greedy gaze and happily summoned insects to begin carrying away the corpses of these Jonin.

"Hehe, so many people died this time, and they were all my favorite experimental subjects~~~ I'm so happy."

"Neri, I've noticed you've been collecting body tissues. Do you enjoy doing research?" Naruto asked as he approached, noticing this.

How did Naruto Uzumaki figure that out?

Does he also do research?

The oil maiden Nerei stiffened and nodded.

"That's great! I'm also very interested in this." Naruto immediately chimed in, "Would it be convenient for us to exchange ideas?"

"Exchange?" Aburame Nerei looked at Naruto with a suspicious expression.

The report doesn't seem to mention that Naruto is interested in human experimentation.

"What do you know?" Her tone was dry, with a hint of contempt.

Danzo was aware of her little quirks, but instead of stopping her, he allowed them to continue.

Knowing this, Nerei, the Oil Maiden, would collect some useful materials on each of her missions.

Through years of research, she has achieved some remarkable results, which have even helped the root system develop.

In her view, Naruto, who only knew how to fight and had a decent bloodline limit, easily gained Danzo's favor.

He's clearly just research material for me.

She was very unhappy.
