Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 218: Second Stage and Hell

Only the fourth blade.

The spiritual pressure of the remaining few is not as strong as that of the Arrancar named "Ulquiorra".

so.
Aizen didn't even leave a former Three Bladesman in the Hueco-Sakura Palace?
Several other battlefields.

The long-haired Arrancar stared at Unohana Retsu standing opposite him, curled his lips, and said gloomily: "Let a woman deal with me."

"It's disgusting. You look down on me like this."

"Even if he's not Uzumaki Naruto, he should be the second strongest among you."

He did not try to hide the disgust on his face.

Unohana Retsu held the hilt of the sword, smiling gently as always, "Naruto's perception ability is unmatched by anyone."

"You should be the strongest one among them, except for that Arrancar."

He grinned: "Obviously she's a woman, but her vision is surprisingly good."

"I am NO.5".

"Nnoitra Gilga."

"Only one rank lower than that guy."

Unohana Retsu pulled out his sword, his smile gradually faded, even the corners of his mouth drooped: "So Naruto let me deal with you."

"Just trust me."

"I'm strong."

She tilted her head and glanced at Kenpachi Zaraki who was already fighting: "So far, I am indeed the strongest one besides Naruto."

"Arrogant woman." Nnoitra curled his lips. This attitude reminded him of those guys of the same gender who made him uncomfortable. "Inferior guy, let me cut off your head and see if you can still be stubborn."

He spoke the last sentence softly, his face froze, and after a moment, he became excited.

A little bit of aura was leaking out from this woman.

They are the same kind!
No.
Even crazier than myself.

She is different from her appearance, she is a lunatic!

"Interesting." Nnoitra grinned, "You are different from them."

"Will it please me?"

Unohana Retsu said softly: "Sorry, this time."

"I don't enjoy fighting."

"It's to kill you."

Spiritual pressure surged, and murderous intent was everywhere.

She hadn't used this "power" for a long time.

Byakuya Kuchiki is an enemy of the bald black man.

The bigger, more threatening-looking guy was beaten to the punch by Kenpachi Zaraki.

The last one to be chosen was the little boy left, whose clothes didn’t seem to fit him well. On his waist, you could vaguely see the standard number “6”.

"After that blue-haired guy, you are the new No. 6?" Kurama noticed and clicked his tongue. "The battle with that guy was quite pleasant."

"but."

"It was a pity that it was in the real world, and the fight wasn't satisfying enough."

The little boy with the watermelon head tilted his head and grinned: "I will make you happier."

"Talk about it"

"If we were opponents, it would be a perfect match."

He drew his knife and chanted softly.

"Hang him, Tsuta-san."

The spiritual pressure rolled, and the Zanpakutō "returned to the blade".

The little boy's physical form changes, but not in the way that Grimmjow did, where he changed from a human to a beast. Instead, his appearance changes a little while his "human body" remains roughly unchanged.

Its chest is covered with a "vest"-style mask, and from behind it, eight milky white tentacles of the same color as the mask are swinging and dancing.

"Look, although what I have is not a tail, it's almost the same." He tilted his head and grinned, looking kind of sickly and beautiful. "I don't know if your fragile tail can withstand my playing."

Hachijo
Jiu Lama sneered and shook his head: "Show off such things in front of me."

"You're already defeated, Arrancar."

The little boy narrowed his eyes: "Unprovoked confidence."

"The tail is strength." Jiu Lama drew strength and his body expanded little by little, from being smaller than it, to being the same size as it, then to twice as big, and then to covering the sky and the sun in the blink of an eye. "The more the number, the stronger the strength."

“This is a universally acknowledged truth.”

"You only have eight, and I have nine, so I am stronger than you."

It stretched out its claws and grasped its knife.

The little boy grinned, with malice brewing in his eyes.

Such a confident guy.
How disgusting!

Above the ruins of Xuye Palace.

The space vibrated slightly.

Ring!

In an instant, Ulquiorra approached Naruto and slashed with his sword.

Powerful and fast!
It was a captain-level attack.

Can.
Naruto reached out and gently pinched his blade, and it could no longer move forward. The strong wind and spreading spiritual pressure spread to Naruto's skin, leaving only a shallow mark.

Ulquiorra's pupils dilated.

Failed to cause harm?

Can the body of the god of death be so powerful?
Or.
The spiritual pressure gap between the two is as huge as an insurmountable gap.

Naruto bent his fingers and flicked them lightly.

With a sound of "Dang"——

Fingerprints were imprinted on the tip of the blade, and Ulquiorra flew backwards uncontrollably. After several meters, he finally stopped with a squeak of spiritual power.

"Stronger than the Sixth Blade." Naruto smiled and commented, "But it's only at this level."

"There's no way Aizen would leave you here without any worries."

"Show your true abilities, like Return to the Blade."

He raised his head and could sense that the space nearby was somewhat distorted.

It was Urahara Kisuke who broke through Aizen's blockade.

"Let me have some fun before I leave here." Naruto turned his head back and stared at the man opposite him.

Ulquiorra raised his sword, his face and tone as calm as before: "Then it shall be your will."

"Seal it down, Blackwing Demon."

Zanpakutō "Returning Blade".

The mask on his head was completed, two horns grew, and wide, black wings like a bat spread out behind him. His hair even grew longer and his spiritual pressure doubled.

"This form?" Naruto asked softly.

Ulquiorra raised his hand, throwing it like a javelin.

Spiritual power gathered in his hands, and a light blue light bloomed.

A long spear was thrown.

"Moonlight Sword".

The spiritual pressure seemed to tear the space apart, pouring in with a huge, irresistible force.

Naruto raised his hand.

"The thirty-nine way of binding, the round gate fan."

The rotating spiritual power shield was crushed by the impact of the green spear the moment it was formed.

It didn't provide much defensive effect.

Just a moment, a tiny buffer.

but.
Even so, this attack still failed to cause more effective damage.

At the moment the round gate shattered.

Naruto reached out and grabbed the spear. The huge force pushed him backwards. A charred mark appeared in the sky, which was the mark of the friction of the spirit particles left by the forced braking.

The palm of his hand was scratched by the hot, sharp tip of the blade.

In the blink of an eye, all these scars healed.

The moment of stopping.

Naruto turned sideways and dropped the "Moonlight Sword" in his hand.

Another blow was coming.

Ulquiorra also knew that the previous move would hardly be effective. It was just a feint, and this attack was the "killer move".

"Flash".

But it is different from ordinary flashes, it is a ball of black spiritual power mixed with faint green light.

The spirit particles swept across like branches of lightning.

In the short time that is gained, it condenses into shape, rushes out, and pours out.

The range is extremely large, as if it swallows up everything in front, including Naruto who is in this direction.

There was a huge roar and the space shook.

Ulquiorra's eyes were solemn.

This blow.
Will it have a good effect?

The smoke cleared.

Naruto put his hands in front of him, and a flash destroyed his sleeves, leaving his flesh and blood all over the place, almost revealing his bones. The spiritual pressure that defended him was destroyed, hurting his spirit body.

effective.

But the effect is average.

There were only some physical injuries, which could only be considered "minor injuries" for people at their level.

The guy in front of me.
What is going on.

Ulquiorra's eyes became more serious.

The injuries that had been "disintegrated" and "swallowed" were recovering at an incredible speed, with flesh and blood becoming plump and skin filling out.

Not as good as "high-speed regeneration".

But this ability.
Is it something that the god of death can possess?
Naruto grinned and clapped his hands.

"King Kong Lockdown".

The chains raced, dancing quickly, heading towards Ulquiorra.

A sonic boom sounded, and a chase began in the sky.

Ulquiorra flew very fast, leaving a long, straight line and leaving the chains far behind.

But Naruto can use more than just the "Vajra Chain".

The way of breaking, the way of binding, and the way of ninjutsu.
In his hands, the techniques are dazzling and endless.

The power of this technique, which does not require chanting or hand seals, is not strong enough. To Ulquiorra, who has already "returned to the blade", the damage is not great and the hindrance is strong.

Of course, Naruto’s goal is not to achieve victory through this “bombardment” method.

Obstacle is the biggest goal.

Ulquiorra dodged the technique, taking many detours, which inevitably slowed him down.

Right now.

The chains wrapped around his feet, holding him back by force.

He turned around.

There was not just one, but nearly ten of them densely packed together, coming towards me.

It climbed up the thighs, wrapped around the waist, and bound the hands. In just a moment, the whole body was tied up.

The chanting sounded in my ears.

"O Lord!"

"Mask of flesh and blood, the one who flaps the wings of all things and crowns them with the name of man!"

"Carve two lotuses on the wall of blue fire, and wait for the abyss of fire in the distant sky!"

In Naruto's palm, brilliant blue flames gathered.

When the chains caught him, he used them without hesitation.

"The seventy-three broken paths, the twin lotuses fall in blue fire."

The flames burst out.

Blue light, smoke, and spirit particles dissipated, and chain fragments flew apart.

It seemed like a lot of damage had been done.

but.
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the place that was blurry and unclear to the naked eye.

The spiritual pressure of this Arrancar seems to have undergone some slight changes.

Become stronger and more solid.

Like a hill, high above, blocking out the sky and the sun.

It made him feel a little bit pressured.

But isn't "Returning to the Blade" the ultimate ability they have mastered? This change is a change from the inside out.
He waved his hand and a strong wind swept away everything that blocked his vision.

Ulquiorra stood in the sky.

The appearance had changed a bit from before. The clothes on his body disappeared, and the hollow hole became darker and empty, with some black viscous liquid leaking out. His lower body no longer looked like a human, but was as slender as a sheep's leg, and his claws were as ferocious as a bat's.

It grows a long, brainless tail with a sharp end.

Most of his body was destroyed by that powerful attack just now, but his ability of "high-speed regeneration" allowed his flesh and blood to wriggle like a whip and he was reborn quickly.

"This change." Naruto said softly, somewhat surprised.

Ulquiorra lowered his head and stared at the mutilated parts of his body: "I thought I wouldn't be afraid of death."

“But at that moment, I did have some fluctuations.”

“It’s the desire to survive.”

"But where does this desire come from?"

The void was empty and there was no response.

"This is the second stage of recovery." Ulquiorra said softly. In this brief moment, his body had completely recovered.

Second paragraph?

Naruto narrowed his eyes.

Just like the "Bankai" of Zanpakutō?
Arrancars have this ability? Grimmjow didn't show it.

"I am the only Arrancar among the Ten Espada who possesses this ability." The black lines on Ulquiorra's face, like tear marks, danced as he spoke. "Even Lord Aizen has never seen me like this."

"You are powerful."

“But in my state”

Before he finished speaking, he turned around, raised his right hand, and swung it down with his claws.

"Can you defeat me?"

He increased the volume, and spiritual pressure surged, overwhelming him.

Naruto stretched out his hand and palmed him.

Tail whip, fists, palms, and occasionally lightning spears.
In this state, Ulquiorra's speed, strength, and spiritual pressure all increased.

After dozens of rounds.

"You won't release me?" His tone fluctuated, a mixture of doubt and questioning, "You won't even draw your sword?"

"You're going to die."

"If you don't release me, I will kill you."

Naruto smiled, "The sword must be unsheathed at the most appropriate time."

"You are not qualified yet."

Jiu Lama is fighting with others, so it is not a good time to use it.

As for "Asura".
It is still gestating. During this long period of time, the seeds will be digested and wait for an opportunity to break out of the shell.

Naruto didn't want to disrupt this process.

He paused for a moment and continued: "And"

"I just want to see what kind of changes the second stage of returning to the sword will bring."

"Does that give you the illusion that we are evenly matched, or even have an advantage?"

Ulquiorra was stunned.

The blond boy in front of him waved his hand, and the golden chain stabbed towards him, piercing his lower abdomen.

Almost at the same time.

Ulquiorra swung his claws and cut the chains, but the "chains" were endless, stretching endlessly and majestically.

Naruto stepped forward in an instant.

In the palm of his hand, the disturbed air flow swirled.

"Rasengan".

Highly condensed spiritual power, a small azure sphere no bigger than a fist.

There is no chanting and no hand seals.

The power has not been weakened at all.

It hit him hard in the abdomen.

Twisting and spinning, the flesh and spine were torn apart, and the spiritual pressure on the body was also disrupted and dissipated.

"This technique"

Ulquiorra lowered his head, his spiritual power trembling, trying to maintain his body.

but.
"Four Symbols Seal".

Naruto's other hand stretched out his claws and stabbed the hollow.

The spell unfolds, spreading throughout the body in the blink of an eye.

Ulquiorra tried to struggle.

The second seal followed.

The third way, the fourth way, the fifth way
He was still able to resist, and the innermost layer of the seal was gradually torn apart, but his speed of brute force could not catch up with Naruto's speed. After dozens of them, his speed of breaking became slower and slower, and the spiritual pressure he emitted became weaker and weaker.

Naruto was able to stabilize it and finally sealed it into the scroll.

Second stage return
The Arrancar's special ability?

This group has only been around for a short time, and there are still many interesting things worth studying.

In this world, the fake Karakura Town.

Hitsugaya Toshiro was floating in the air holding a body, his eyes ferocious and filled with hatred and resentment.

"At first, I wanted to take her under my command." Aizen raised his sword, his eyes full of pity, "Unfortunately, Naruto-kun discovered my intentions."

"Captain Hitsugaya will be pleased."

“Those who are cherished are protected by the powerful.”

"but."

"After you got away from him, you didn't seem to be able to protect him yourself."

Hitsugaya Toushirou gritted his teeth even more.

Aizen smiled lightly with contempt, raised his head, and looked at the old man standing in front of him: "Captain, are you finally going to take action?"

"It's too late."

"You shouldn't show up now."

"I didn't even seize the last chance."

He raised his sword and pointed it at the captain: "If we defeat you again, the Gotei 13 will be disintegrated."

"Don't be too arrogant, junior." The captain raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, his spiritual pressure burning like fire.

Aizen smiled and said, "Among the Gotei 13, there is only one person who makes me most uneasy."

"That's Uzumaki Naruto."

"He has secrets that even I cannot understand."

"And you, Captain, although you are powerful, you are not scary."

The captain opened his eyes wider: "I don't seem to be in your eyes."

"I have hinted many times to have the Central Forty-Sixth Room issue an order to investigate Uzumaki Naruto's secret." Aizen shook his head, "But you refused every time."

"This"

"That's your biggest flaw."

“Too confident.”

The captain spoke in a high-pitched tone, sharp and determined: "I have been a thousand years old, and I have killed all kinds of enemies."

"With your level."

"You are far from being good enough. You want to kill me. Can you do it?"

Aizen said calmly: "I didn't think about whether I could kill you."

"but"

“I have done that.”

The captain shouted, "Nonsense!"

And just as his voice fell.

With a "puff", the dagger pierced his chest.

Aizen said softly, his voice close to his ear: "Just like this."

"Captain, you have lived long enough. End it here with the old era."

"After you die, I can go deal with Naruto-kun without any worries."

His words were interrupted.

The captain reached out, followed the direction of the knife, grabbed his wrist, raised his head and smiled: "I will end it, but not with the so-called 'old times' but with you."

"I've got you, Aizen Sosuke."

Aizen tilted his head: "Oh, really?"

"But what's the point of catching me?"

The captain waved his other hand, and pillars of spiritual pressure in the shape of fire surged up from all over the city, enveloping and wrapping the two of them.

Aizen was startled, looked around, and realized something: "Did you set up this trap while your subordinates were being chopped off?"

"That's really impressive, Captain."

"Among the younger generation, there is a heinous guy like you." The captain spoke, with a tone of relief, "But what makes me happy is that there is also a guy like Naruto."

"He is the same person you once pretended to be."

"But you're being hypocritical."

“He’s sincere.”

"I feel relieved to leave Seireitei in his hands."

"As for you"

"Be buried with me in this 'burning hell'."

(I went out to see my family today, so I'm a little late.)
