Naruto just wants to be a god of death - Chapter 419
The last Zero-ban detached hall.
It is a “shrine”-style building, wabi-sabi and solemn.
The other Zero-ban detached halls, no matter how many people there are, at least have some life.
And here.
It seems that there is only “black and white”, dead and lifeless.
The entrance of the main hall.
“Uzumaki Naruto, you are finally here.” The monk looked silly, scratched his head, and glanced, finally stopping at the sword at his waist.
Naruto followed and nodded: “It was a bit troublesome to forge the sword, which delayed some time.”
“Uzumaki” is equipped with a scabbard.
It’s just different from ordinary Zanpakutō.
Nimaiya Wang Yue once mentioned that a Zanpakutō named “Scabbard” was considered a “failure” because it could not be loaded into the scabbard. It was too sharp and all the scabbards would be destroyed by it.
The same is true for Uzumaki.
Ordinary things in this world will immediately destroy their internal structures when they come into contact with it.
Even contact with the air will be the same.
It will stir up a violent gale in a few minutes.
But unlike the uncontrollable power of “Sheath Fu”, Naruto can control the Uzumaki and use his spiritual power to make a scabbard for it.
“Captain Nimeiya said that you are urging, what happened in the Soul Society?” Without waiting for the monk to say anything else, Naruto got straight to the point and asked directly.
The monk nodded: “Of course, just two hours ago, the Invisible Empire launched an attack on the Soul Society.”
“But.” He paused and continued, “It’s just a small vanguard force. According to the Gotei 13, those enemies are not very difficult to deal with.”
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
Naruto’s face didn’t change much: “Before I left, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had already studied the method of cracking the Quincy’s seizure of Bankai.”
“After being able to use Bankai without burden, they will not be worse than the Quincy.”
The monk raised his hands, clenched a fist, and slammed it hard on the palm: “You really trust them.”
Naruto didn’t continue the topic: “So, what is the training here?”
“Practice?” The monk tilted his head and smiled, “You don’t need to practice with me.”
“Whether it’s spiritual pressure or swordsmanship.”
“Kido or Zanpakuto.”
“You are already very mature. If you want to go further, it will not be done overnight. Now there is not so long to wait for you slowly.”
Naruto nodded: “Then I will go back.”
“Although you don’t need to practice with me.” The monk shook his head and looked at him with wide eyes, looking very sincere, “But you still have one thing to do.”
He raised a finger.
“Lord Soul King wants to see you.”
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, not surprised by this.
If
the rumors about the “Soul King” are true.
Maybe others can’t find it, maybe I don’t have the ability now.
But this guy who is the cornerstone of the world must know his specialness.
“I know.” He responded softly.
The monk had a big belly and his eyes were full of curiosity: “Soul King said that your existence will not affect the balance of the three realms.”
“Based on my understanding of you, I am willing to believe that you will not be like Aizen and Yhwach.”
“But”
He moved closer, his eyes widened.
“You should have heard from the previous few people that everyone in our Zero Division has created something for the Soul Society.”
Speaking of this, his tone was proud and proud.
Naruto nodded.
“Zanpakutō, Death Hagaku, and Righteous Soul.”
“But I am different from them. What I created for this world is not a specific thing, but a concept.”
The monk paused and pinched his waist: “Name.”
“At the beginning of the birth of the Three Realms, I named everything.”
“So, I know the name of everything in this world, including the name of every Zanpakutō.”
“Shikai or Bankai.”
The monk continued to pinch his waist, still proud and proud: “I am managing this world for the Soul King.”
“But this ability only works on you.”
He pointed.
“I know the name of Kurama, I know the name of Uzumaki, but I don’t know their names after Bankai.”
“You are the only exception I have met.”
“So what’s the matter with you, why do you have such an ability?”
“Can you tell me?”
Naruto looked at him calmly, and after a while, he smiled gently: “Can I understand your words as this is just a request out of your personal curiosity, not an order from the Soul King?”
The monk nodded.
Naruto shook his head: “I refuse.”
The monk did not change his expression or movements.
Naruto smiled. He did not have a good impression of this person. There was no special reason. It was because he insisted on taking Ichigo Kurosaki away after landing.
Even someone like the captain who regarded the stability of the three realms as the most important thing would not easily involve an ordinary human boy who only got the “power of death god” by accident and was not a “death god”.
His attitude was too frivolous.
“Is that so?” The monk waved his hand, “Then please come with me to see the Soul King.”
It did not take too much time to go from this Zero-Ban Palace to the Soul King Palace in the center.
The huge pillars were more lifeless than the monk’s palace.
There are no guards or servants.
Naruto feels like a huge, empty prison.
Outside the hall.
The monk stopped and waved his hand: “Go in.”
The door was open, or rather, there was no door frame.
Naruto walked in.
Kuroma frowned, his hair slightly blown up, fluffed up into a ball: “I feel a little uncomfortable here.”
It looked back at the monk.
The fat man stood obediently at the door, not looking back.
Weak but powerful spiritual pressure.
Naruto followed the trail and walked deeper, and soon he saw the person he wanted to see – the Spirit King.
A guy who was named “King” but didn’t have the demeanor of a “King”.
A human stick, wrapped in something like amber.
It has a head and a torso, but the arms can be removed and the legs are only half of the thighs.
It has a pretty face, and a pair of eyes with pupils in the shape of a cross.
“I’m here.” Naruto stood in front of it.
The guy inside, who could be called a “human”, did not give any response, not even the slightest reaction.
It seemed as if his ears could not hear and his mouth could not speak.
Kurama muttered and leaned towards Naruto’s neck: “We are here!”
“Hey, can you hear me?”
“Soul King?”
It yelled, tearing its throat, and spoke hard.
But it was still empty, with only the echo of Kurama’s voice.
“Didn’t he call us here?” When the echo completely disappeared, Kurama was a little impatient and twisted his body, “Why don’t you say anything now?”
“Seireitei is still…”
Naruto stared at his lips: “It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s that he can’t say it.”
Kuruma tilted his head, with confusion in his eyes.
Even in front of the Soul King, Naruto still spoke frankly: “In ancient history, the five nobles attacked the Soul King and made him into a wedge to stabilize the three realms.”
“They were afraid that the Soul King would resist, so they tore his body apart and emptied his internal organs.”
“The Valkyrie we killed before was the heart of the Soul King.”
Naruto subconsciously touched the scroll in his arms.
“So, will they leave the Soul King’s tongue?” He asked a question.
Kurama nodded thoughtfully: “That’s definitely not the case. The five nobles. Except for the Shiba family, even the Shifengyuan family is hiding their crimes. If the Soul King can speak, wouldn’t he be able to tell their crimes?”
At this point, it suddenly realized: “So that’s it.”
“He can’t speak.”
But after knowing the current situation, it couldn’t help but worry: “In that case, how can we communicate with it?”
Naruto didn’t answer, but just stretched out his hand.
“Kagura Heart Eye” unfolded.
The perception ability poured out without hindrance and without restraint.
He clearly sensed a spiritual pressure floating outside the amber.
After contacting Naruto, it swam towards him intimately, and without him using any means, this spiritual pressure fell into his palm obediently.
Kurama also sensed it.
“Is this the spiritual pressure of the Soul King?” It leaned closer and sniffed, “Why does it look so similar?”
“The spiritual pressure of the Quincy.”
Naruto held it, his senses became gentle, and he tried to probe it, while casually answering Kurama’s question: “The relationship between the Soul King and the Quincy may be closer than the relationship between the Soul King and the God of Death.”
“Don’t you think that the special abilities displayed by those Quincys.”
“Whether it is Valkyrie’s miracle or Haschwald’s counter-injury.”
“Are they similar to the abilities of the Fullbringers?”
Kurouma muttered something in a low voice.
Naruto concentrated on exploring the information contained in this spiritual pressure.
There was only one sentence.
This sentence was not difficult to understand.
“When the opportunity is right, please kill me without hesitation, and please don’t stop my death.”
Naruto was stunned.
He was a little unsure of what he sensed, and fortunately, the spiritual pressure in his palm did not dissipate immediately after being broken by him. “Kagura’s Heart Eye” was used more carefully and peeked again.
It was still the same sentence.
Kurouma tilted his head: “What did the Spirit King say to you?”
“He told me to wait for the right opportunity, kill him, and don’t stop him from dying.” Naruto raised his head and looked at the thing in the amber that looked like a human stick.
There was a bit of sadness in his eyes.
This person, in the eyes of the vast majority of uninformed people, has the highest status in the Three Realms.
Result
Seeking death wholeheartedly?
Kurouma was not surprised, and accepted it smoothly, grinning: “If this is the case, I would also like to die soon.”
It yawned and its eyes fell on the Spirit King.
“Why wait for the right opportunity? Just kill him now.”
Naruto shook his head: “If the Soul King dies, the Three Realms will lose their wedge and the balance will be broken.”
“Although.”
He took a deep breath, walked towards the amber, raised his hand and gently touched it: “This is a good thing for the Soul King.”
“But in the Three Realms, there are still innocent humans, death gods, and even hollows.”
“It would be too unfair if they were buried alive for this.”
Kurouma also stretched out his claws and touched the amber: “So we have to find a new wedge.”
The first name that popped into its mind was “Kurosaki Ichigo”.
Once
Aizen wanted to get Ichigo Kurosaki, and use him to replace the Soul King and become the new wedge of the world.
But it didn’t call out the name.
Because it was unrealistic.
It knew very well that Naruto would never accept this approach. Not to mention that Ichigo Kurosaki was his nephew, even if he put aside his feelings, Ichigo Kurosaki was just an ordinary deputy god of death. No matter how qualified he was, he was innocent.
“Quincy” Naruto murmured, feeling the structure of the spiritual pressure in his hand.
The Soul King and the Quincy were so similar.
This gave him some ideas.
Naruto reached out, sealed the spiritual pressure, and put it into the scroll.
“Is there any other news you want to tell me?” Naruto raised his head.
The second spiritual pressure floated out of the amber.
It fell gently on his hand like a feather.
As before, use Kagura’s heart eye to analyze.
What’s different is that this spiritual pressure contains two sentences.
“I believe you, solve it in your own way.”
“I saw your sun-like light in another world.”
Another world.
Naruto was stunned.
This was the first time he heard information about “another world” from another person.
Sure enough,
The Soul King knew.
“Really?” Naruto lowered his head. After reading the spiritual pressure, it quickly dissipated without leaving any trace. “Then the reason why I came to this world is related to you?”
His question was not answered.
The Soul King’s palace was silent.
Kuroma was curious and dug his claws into Naruto’s palm: “What did the Soul King say to you just now?”
“I didn’t even have time to read it, and it disappeared.”
“Nothing.” Naruto shook his head, “It’s just that the reason why we came to this world may be related to the Soul King.”
“Then, he encouraged me to let go and do it in my own way.”
Kuroma tilted his head and shook his head.
I felt more favorable towards this guy wrapped in amber.
The Ninja World is a place that makes it very unhappy.
Although some things that make it unhappy will happen in this world, it is much more comfortable here than in the Ninja World.
“Then we must repay him well.” Kurama said seriously, “We must find an opportunity quickly and kill him.”
Naruto looked at him and couldn’t help but smile: “You know that what you are saying now is not like repaying him at all, but like revenge on him.”
Kurama muttered: “The Soul King is the Soul King, different from ordinary people.”
Naruto turned around and looked at the Soul King again.
After confirming that he had no other news to tell him, he walked towards the door.
Just behind the monk, he was about to greet him.
The “Kagura Heart’s Eye” that had not yet disbanded sensed a familiar spiritual pressure coming from the ground and approaching the Soul King Palace at high speed.
This spiritual pressure
was exactly the person he didn’t want to come to the Soul Society.
Kurosaki Ichigo.
“What’s wrong?” Kurama tilted his head.
The smile on Naruto’s face gradually faded and became heavy: “Kurosaki Ichigo is here.”
