Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

In the midst of the fierce battle, Naraku Sora began to think.

But he soon abandoned this pointless act.

Soul? Body?

boom!

The raging wind blew people away, and Naraku flew through the air in a near-perfect parabola.

Just before I was about to fall to the floor, countless strange inspirations flashed through the depths of my mind.

neither.

The ability to integrate the two and perfectly unleash their full potential is the Grim Reaper's core power.

Peeling off one's own skin, scraping away one's own flesh, smashing bones to the very depths of the nerves, engraving it in the primal level, an utterly thorough killing reaction.

That is, instinct.

The intense heat gradually spread from Naraku's body, and the crimson spiritual pressure turned into fuel, wantonly distorting the surrounding air.

May countless calamities befall the Jaya Emperor!

With arms outstretched, a gust of wind rose, and a sound like steel rubbing against steel burst forth from between the joints.

Naraku Sora's eyes grew brighter, as if flames were burning fiercely within them.

Under the cover of spiritual pressure flames, countless muscles and fascia on his arm trembled instantly. The spiritual pressure and power converged into a line, bursting forth between his suddenly clenched fingers, transforming into an impact that shot straight forward.

As he watched the fist grow larger, a hint of relief appeared on Yamamoto's face, followed by a ferocious smile as a surge of intense spiritual pressure descended.

One bone vs. one bone!

boom!

The ground trembled violently, explosions swept across the land, and endless flames rose violently from the earth, shooting uncontrollably into the sky.

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the battle finally came to an end.

As it turns out, even with Lightning Release mode and the boost from Hollow power, the same state of initial release still proved effective.

Naraku Sora was still no match for Yamamoto.

There are also differences between the team captains.

No wonder Tsuna banned Yamamoto before taking on any major tasks.

Otherwise, given the commotion he made, the gilded jacket would probably have already slashed down when the ghost realm barrier broke.

Clearly, Tsunayoshi believed that his trump cards were insufficient to counter the enraged Yamamoto.

His original plan was for him and Gosuke to join forces to kill Jushiro Ukitake, strip Mimihagi of his power, and then use that power to transform the Soul King's right hand into their own.

In this way, even if Yamamoto returns from Hueco Mundo, he will not be afraid.

But who would have thought that there would be a troublesome guy in the thirteenth team, and in the end, all their efforts were in vain.

On the importance of intelligence.

"You're doing alright in your studies."

Yamamoto picked up his haori and shook off the dust. "The deeper your understanding of yourself, the easier it is to practice Bankai."

"Of course, communication with the Zanpakuto cannot be relaxed."

"To learn and master Bankai and leave your mark on the history of Soul Society, both are indispensable."

Naraku Sora nodded seriously.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yamamoto's eyes: "Do you remember what we agreed on at the last team leader meeting?"

Naraku thought about it seriously for a moment: "The Gotei 13 have completely lost face?"

"?"

Yamamoto glared at him. This traitor was good in every way, except for his mouth.

"It concerns the position of captain of the Ninth Division."

"We were originally planning to conduct the assessment a few days ago, but too many things have happened in recent days, which has caused a delay."

"So, I originally wanted Chunshui to take responsibility."

At this point, Yamamoto shook his head: "But because he forcibly broke into the underground council chamber and openly threatened the 46th Chamber, he was temporarily dismissed from all his posts."

"Therefore, I have decided to have you conduct the assessment."

Naraku Sora paused for a moment, then subconsciously said:

"I'll fight Liu Chequanxi?"

Chapter 116 Open the doors, the courtroom!

Recently, Kisuke Urahara has been in an unprecedentedly cheerful mood.

As a Shinigami of the Second Division, he is exceptionally talented, possesses extremely strong spiritual pressure, and is proficient in all kinds of techniques, including sword fighting and demon slaying.

But he didn't like a life of fighting and killing.

For Kisuke Urahara, his life motto was nothing more than slacking off.

A task that can be completed in ten days should absolutely not be completed in nine days, twenty-three hours, and fifty-nine seconds.

Every second that can be delayed brings a second of pleasure.

Even so, his exceptionally high task completion rate still led to his gradual promotion.

From an ordinary soldier to a captain, he rose through the ranks to become the captain of the third squad's management team.

Although he has not yet reached the position of principal leader, the far-sighted Kisuke Urahara has already envisioned that day.

Before long, with his abilities, he will be promoted to captain of the security team.

At first, Kisuke Urahara also considered failing a few missions so that his plan to slack off could proceed smoothly.

However, since most of the missions carried out by the Second Division are related to covert operations.

Success is fine, but failure would result in an extremely high casualty rate.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be unable to stay in the Gotei 13 due to their injuries.

Out of concern for his teammates' safety, Kisuke Urahara had no choice but to minimize the number of missions he had to undertake.

Even so, the position of captain of the security team is within reach.

Seeing his future as bleak, Kisuke Urahara was feeling dejected.

A savior descended from the heavens.

A kind-hearted person from the Shin-o Prison directly saved him from dire straits.

The extremely troublesome maggot nest was all moved to the Shinigami Prison by Naraku Sora's operation.

The Shinigami who had previously left the ranks shone brightly once again, throwing themselves into the vigorous construction of the Soul Society's order.

At first, Kisuke Urahara thought the other party didn't seem like a good person.

But Naraku's actions gave him quite a surprise.

The main mission of the security team has been resolved in one go, and there will be no more nests of maggots from now on.

In the following days, there were no tasks, no files, and even attendance was waived.

Kisuke Urahara felt that he had been elevated during his long period of slacking off.

However, people tend to overthink when they have too much free time.

Just as he was getting ready to have some fun, Yoruichi Shihouin brought him another incredible piece of good news.

A completely new research institution was created by transforming the original maggot nest.

They specialize in researching the equipment that the Second Division and the Stealth Mobile might use, as well as related Kido (demonic arts).

The original research team was reorganized into a research group.

When he heard the news, Kisuke Urahara almost burst out laughing like a pig.

Never before has there been such a wonderful start!

He doesn't have many hobbies, but in his spare time, he likes to tinker with small inventions and creations.

Its main theme is exploring the unknown.

Now that the maggot's nest has been transformed into a research institution, he can not only enjoy fishing but also devote himself to the cause he loves.

Win-win!

Soon, Kisuke Urahara became completely immersed in this wonderful life.

There's no need for fighting and killing, nor for burying oneself in a mud pit for three days and three nights to gather intelligence.

There's no need to fight bare-handed against former colleagues for the sake of internal stability.

During the day, I only need to stay in the maggot nest to study things that interest me, and at night I return to the dormitory to briefly review the day's gains.

Then, warm a pot of hot tea and enjoy a few pastries.

This is what a true winner in life looks like, isn't it?

Just as Kisuke Urahara was enjoying life, he unexpectedly discovered something in the maggots' nest's logistics warehouse—

Some well-preserved dummy corpses.

It's important to know that Hollows, like Shinigami, are also composed of spirit particles.

Once dead, the body will break down and return to the cycle as spirit particles.

Usually, only special ghost paths or equipment can preserve them intact.

Similarly, the virtual is also an excellent research material.

Many scientific experiments are related to it.

Looking at the materials scattered haphazardly, Kisuke Urahara had a bold idea pop into his head.

I'll secretly cut off a piece for research; hopefully no one will notice, right?
