Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 227: Flowing Blade Jakka! (7K)

Kuchiki Byakuya drew his sword and stabbed it into the sky.

Turn the "key" and open a Japanese-style door.

In this world, a group of people walked in one after another and landed on the wide square.

"Seireitei." Mako Hirako turned her head and looked at the building which had not changed at all compared to more than a hundred years ago. She put her hands in her pockets and said softly.

Naruto walked closer to him, "This is a special case."

"When this is over, whether you stay or leave, I won't stop you."

Hirako Mako turned around and said in amazement, "Has Naruto grown up to the point where he can stand up to the noise of those old guys in the Central 46th Room?"

Naruto smiled and led the way, "Aizen has done many wrong things."

"But there is one thing he did not do wrong."

Hirako Mako nodded: "Kill all those old guys in the Central 46th Room?"

Naruto shook his head: "It is to make them realize that the so-called power given to them by the "Soul King" to rule is not so indestructible."

“It also makes them realize how kind the captain has been over the years.”

Hirako Mako seemed to be thinking about something.

"The Gotei 13 are fine like this." Naruto continued, "They have the power to supervise and warn."

“But it’s not the same as before.”

"The captain and captain, who are in charge of specific matters, have the power to make decisions."

Hirako Mako grinned, "Is that so?"

"Aizen is truly amazing."

The last part of the compliment had a sinister tone, just like it had been more than a hundred years ago, when he was the captain of the Fifth Division and Aizen was his vice-captain.

On the way to the First Squadron barracks.

"What does the Soul Society think about the Hollows now?" Fengqiao Loujuro, who had big wavy golden hair and was once the captain of the "Third Division", spoke up.

"It's just a power." Naruto explained to him, "It's similar to the rules of the 'Proxy Shinigami'."

"Those who were once forced to possess them will certainly not be held accountable, and will be allowed to use them."

Fengqiaolou Juro nodded.

"Want to come back?" Naruto tilted his head and looked at him.

Fengqiao Loujuro hesitated, but nodded again: "I heard that the one from the Shiba family is preparing for the captain's assessment."

"He would rather go to the Fifth Division." Naruto tilted his head and glanced at Mako Hirako, "After all, he is also doing the job of covering for others in the Thirteenth Division."

Mako Hirako sighed, turned his head away and looked into the distance.

Shiba Kaiyan scratched his head.

Even though Hirako Mako was already her predecessor, for some reason, she felt a little embarrassed when it was mentioned in front of him that she was going to become the captain of the 5th Division.

"Is there no suitable candidate for the Third Division?" Fengqiao Loujuro asked again.

Naruto thought about it and shook his head.

Abarai Renji's practice of "Bankai" was not very smooth. His Zanpakutō was a little special. Although it was a single sword and the Zanpakutō soul was also one, it had two wills, one of which recognized him, but the other had not.

Madarame did master Bankai, but he thought he had hidden it very well. It is said that in the war launched by Aizen, he would rather be beaten to death than use Bankai in public.

Not to mention his abilities, his personality makes him unable to shoulder the responsibility of leading a squad.

"If Captain Fengqiao is willing to come back, the position of captain of the third squad will belong to you." Naruto added the last sentence.

Fengqiao Loujuro didn't say anything else.

Seireitei has not changed.

Although some buildings were damaged, the 12th Division was repairing them. On the way to the 1st Division, there were more damaged buildings, but one by one, the Masked Corps could imagine what they looked like when they were intact.

But a lot has also changed.

Among the death gods coming and going, there are almost no familiar faces.

Hiyori named a few names.

Some have died in battle or sacrificed their lives, while others have retired to enjoy the last hundred years of their lives.

This made them feel lost. The Seireitei was still the same Seireitei, but time passed and people came and went. The Seireitei no longer belonged to them, and they did not belong to the Seireitei either.

This trip, on the contrary, made many of them determined not to return to Soul Society.

Compared to here, they are more accustomed to life in the real world.

Destination arrived.

Inside the team house, the captains, former captains, and Ichigo Kurosaki all gathered in the meeting room.

"If the captain saw what's happening now, he would be furious." Kyoraku Shunsui said frivolously, his eyes sweeping over the huge group of people.

Now, including Rukia and Haiyan, there are a total of nineteen people here.

In all the years he had been captain, he had never seen so many people in this room.

Even if the team was "full" with thirteen people, it wouldn't be many - even if the captain position was not vacant, Ukitake's body would not allow him to be here unless there was something important.

"Captain Nirvana, have you found out where that guy is?" Naruto did not agree and turned to look at the shadow clone.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi held up the instrument in his hand. "I thought it would be an interesting opponent."

“But the truth is really sad.”

"I made three preparations to prevent him from finding out, but unfortunately none of them worked."

"It's in North Ryukon Street, the coordinates are here."

He stretched out his hand and tapped the instrument lightly. A light curtain popped up, projecting a coordinate.

"Is it hidden in Soul Society?" Zaraki Kenpachi rubbed his hands together, his tone excited, "Naruto, let's go now!"

Naruto waved his hands, "Don't worry, there are two things."

Kenpachi Zaraki rubbed his hands together and tried to hold back for the time being.

"First of all, the captain may not have been sealed by Muramasa," Naruto said softly.

Several captains turned their heads, their eyes filled with emotion.

"But the captain did." Dong Shilang frowned.

Naruto spread his hands and said calmly: "I have fought against Kurama and Muramasa before."

"Its ability is not hard control."

"Instead, they invade the inner world and hypnotize, brainwash, and suggest things to the Zanpakutō."

He paused, "Muramasa must have communicated with other Zanpakuto and knew about my ability to read true and false words, so he didn't answer my question directly."

"I guess the captain probably sealed his heart to avoid being invaded by Muramasa."

"After all, if Ryujin Jakka's ability is released, it will be very troublesome."

Kyoraku Shunsui gave a wry smile.

In Naruto's eyes, is it just a trouble?

For these people
But it’s more than just “trouble”.

"So if you find the captain, don't rush to break the seal on him." Naruto said the last words, "Everything should be focused on defeating Muramasa."

"Solve it, then consider lifting the seal."

Naruto continued, "Another thing, Muramasa's ability is not control but brainwashing."

"So, there is a possibility of taking back the Zanpakutō."

The captains were interested.

Without exception, their Zanpakutō were bewitched by Muramasa.

"Zanpakuto was only induced by Muramasa to create a gap between you and me." Naruto said softly, "As long as we repair this gap, we can get our Zanpakuto back."

Kyoraku Shunsui pressed down his bamboo hat and said, "Do you mean to practice Bankai again?"

He was brief and to the point, summarizing it briefly.

Naruto nodded and smiled, "That's what I mean."

He paused for a moment, thinking: "So this time, I hope that you, the Masked Corps, can stay in the Soul Society with the 4th, 9th, and 12th Divisions."

"And Ichigo, the same goes for you."

Ichigo Kurosaki nodded: "Of course no problem."

Hirako Mako and the others also agreed. It was always difficult to refuse Naruto's request.

"The remaining captains, please act with me." Naruto said, "Muramasa was injured by Kurama and is now weak."

"It's also the perfect time to take back your Zanpakutō."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his hand, his other hand still holding the instrument: "His coordinates have not moved much, he is still in the same position."

Soul Society, Northern Ryukon Gai.

An underground cave.

"Muramasa?" The Zanpakuto gathered at the bottom floor exclaimed when they saw his appearance, "What's wrong with you?"

Muramasa looked very embarrassed at this time.

The scar on his chest was hideous. The Tailed Beast Ball left cruel and horrible marks on his body, which were bloody and burnt to the bone.

He sat down at the table, breathing weakly, "I met Uzumaki Naruto when I was in the present world and was trying to recruit more partners for us."

"Fight him."

“He is a really strong guy.”

"I was able to completely enslave my own Zanpakutō. I trusted my comrade's power too much and was injured by his sneak attack."

"You're lucky to be able to escape, but Sode no Shirayuki was caught."

The woman with purple hair, kimono and an eye patch on her right eye sat down lazily and waved her hand: "Are you running away, or are you being let go by him?"

Muramasa's face was startled, and his eyes turned to her.

This is the "Hanaten" from the Zanpakutō "Hanaten Kyōkotsu" of the Captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.

"That guy Naruto is not one to show mercy." Hua Tian continued slowly, "Were the wounds on your body caused by that guy called Kurama?"

Muramasa nodded: "What's wrong?"

"This is a move called 'Tailed Beast Ball'." Hanaten shook his head, "Kurama once used this move to easily destroy the Kyonyakū Palace."

"Do you think your body is stronger than Xuyegong's?"

Muramasa's face changed and he looked down at his body.

As a "sensory type" Zanpakutō, it naturally discovered the problem quickly.

He stretched out his hand and searched carefully. After a while, he pulled out a small device from under his ribs, which was smaller than the nail of his little finger.

"This is..." He uttered the two words he had in mind after he resolved the doubts.

Hua Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "Oh, that's too bad."

"This is the tracking device of Squad 12."

"We were exposed."

Muramasa supported himself on the table, held onto his wound, and stood up.

"Don't even think about running away." Hua Tian shook his head and tapped the table lightly. "Naruto's perception ability is very strong. If nothing unexpected happens, he has already captured our traces even in such a short time."

She leaned lazily on the table, holding her head with both hands: "That bad guy Shunsui told me that Naruto's perception range is at least fifty kilometers."

Muramasa gritted his teeth, his expression uncertain: "We can't let them achieve their goal so easily."

"Since they are coming and we can't escape, let's fight them head on."

"This battle will start sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it starts earlier."

"Among the Shinigami who lost his Zanpakutō, the only one who is more difficult to deal with is Uzumaki Naruto."

“As for the rest”

After he finished his instructions, he paused.

"Nishizuku, please help me with the treatment." He turned his head and searched among the many Zanpakutō spirits. His eyes fell on the person in the corner who was wearing a hooded cloak and whose gender and appearance could not be determined.

It nodded without saying anything, walked away, flicked its wrist, and revealed its true form.

The ability was released, and a huge one-eyed ray flew out and swallowed Muramasa in one gulp.

In the dark space, Muramasa was thinking.

Uzumaki Naruto must have figured out that the captain-general was not sealed by himself, but by the captain-general himself.

Even if he wasn't sure.

He probably wouldn't attack the barrier easily. After all, they had just fought, and my ability would have no effect on him. He was confident that he could defeat me.

The plan to induce the Grim Reaper to break through the Captain's barrier failed.

What to do.
Seireitei, Division 12, underground training ground.

"Ms. Kuchiki, do you really not need my help?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri stared at the two figures, one black and one white, in the arena. "I am very professional in the research of Zanpakutō."

"Even Naruto has to ask me for advice on this."

Rukia shook her head and stared firmly at the beauty in front of her, "No, thank you Captain Nirvana, but this is my Zanpakutō."

"I have to do it myself."

Xiu Baixue sneered: "As always, isn't it good to be protected by others?"

"Now you finally think of using your own strength?"

Rukia gripped the hilt tightly: "Captain Naruto told me not to easily trust a person's appearance."

"Whatever he showed, be it good intentions or bad intentions."

Her eyes were soft and her tone was calm: "Sode Shirayuki, you said you hate me."

"But I don't feel the hatred that would make me shudder."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiu Baixue waved her sleeves, and the cold air spread, freezing the snow and ice. "Since you have chosen to face me, then be prepared to be killed by me!" "You..."

"The guy who never took me seriously."

Kuroda Mayuri supported his head and lightly pointed it. A transparent spiritual energy barrier fell down and protected his shadow clone.

Beiliuhun Street, the entrance to the cave.

"Right here?" Kyoraku Shunsui looked around. "You chose a place like this?"

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, waved his sword, dragged the pink-haired little loli on his shoulder, and rushed in in one step.

"Let's take action." Naruto shook his head and smiled helplessly. He now understood the captain's feelings.

Colleagues like Kenpachi Zaraki.
Not worry-free at all.

They walked in one after another, and when they came to a fork in the road, they did not hesitate, and after a brief discussion, they split into two groups. The enemy's strength was not weak, and the Zanpakuto had a strength similar to that of its owner, but that was all, and it did not exceed the normal combat power.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro team up.

Just after going down one level, four spiritual pressures were already waiting there.

"Hanaten, Kuanggu." Kyoraku Shunsui stared at two of them, raised his hand to press down his bamboo hat, and smiled helplessly, "Stop making trouble."

Hua Tian leaned forward, leaning forward with a smile on his face: "You bad man, after using me, you ignored me."

She stretched out her hand and embraced Kuang Gu: "Don't become a person like Chun Shui in the future."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, "It's not like your Zanpakutō will grow."

"What a cold remark." Hua Tian said, "Leaving a bad man like you is indeed the best choice."

"The situation is special now, don't be willful." Kyoraku Shunsui said softly, "Wait until this is over."

Hua Tian raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "That's it."

"Play a game with us."

"As long as you don't lose, I'll go back."

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded, not surprised, he just knew it.

Ukitake Jushiro stared at the two little boys dressed as Onmyojis standing next to Katen Kyōkotsu.

There was little communication between them.

The two little boys threw up their hands, let out a cheerful "Woo-hoo!", and turned and ran.

When Fuzhu sighed, he knew it, and he took a flash step and chased after him.

The bottom of the cave.

Muramasa came out of Nishizuku's body.

"What's the situation now?" He couldn't wait to speak before he even landed.

"The Gotei 13 have arrived." A tall, thin man with a "house"-like decoration on his back spoke, "They have already broken in. Katen Kyōkotsu and Pisces Koi have already engaged Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro."

This is the Zanpakutō "Ganreimaru" of the First Division's Vice-Captain, Chojiro Suzuki.

"Where is Uzumaki Naruto?" Muramasa asked again.

Yan Lingwan shook his head: "Not sure yet."

Muramasa lowered his head and murmured, "Really?"

"Quefeng, Yanlingwan, and Liulise Peacock, I need to borrow your strength."

"Come with me."

In the corner of the room, a handsome man with long blue hair and wearing a "peacock dance" costume walked out and nodded in response.

He waved his hand and led the way, with the three Zanpakutō following behind him.

Until the deepest point.

The captain was surrounded by a green triangular pyramid, and he sat inside the barrier with a knife in his arms.

Muramasa stared at the barrier and said calmly, "Although I told you and the Death Gods that it was me who sealed Yamamoto Genryusai."

“That’s actually what happened.”

"but"

He stretched out his hand and moved slightly closer. Suddenly, a wave of flames surged up from the barrier and hit him.

Muramasa was prepared and dodged sideways: "This seal was set by Yamamoto Genryusai himself."

"He wants to continue to enslave Ryujin Jakka, but he cannot control Ryujin Jakka's will."

"So, he used himself as a wedge to seal Ryujin Jakka."

The three Zanpakutō were surprised.

Even though he was deceived, he was not angry. It was reasonable for the strongest god of death to be able to do this. Just like before, Muramasa said that he sealed the captain-general by himself, which was incredible.

"I originally wanted to wait for Uzumaki Naruto's two Zanpakuto to join us, and then use their power to destroy the barrier and save Ryujin Jakka." Muramasa continued, "Now it seems that this is not possible."

"So, I need your help."

Muramasa turned around and looked at the three swords behind him: "Your abilities are very special and can be used for this purpose."

"Glass-colored Peacock"

"I need you to absorb the spiritual pressure of the barrier."

"Quefeng, Yanlingwan, you have the strongest attack ability. After the barrier is weakened by the Glazed Peacock, try to destroy it."

"To fight against Uzumaki Naruto, we can only rely on Ryujin Jakka."

Three knives responded.

The glazed peacock stretched out his hand, swung the whip, and thorny vines bloomed in his palm and fluttered over the barrier.

The ability is activated, like sipping water, absorbing the spiritual pressure above the barrier.

The dark green barrier was thinning and weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the heavy spiritual pressure could also be felt to be weakening little by little.

Quefeng raised his hands and took a lunge step.

The scorpion-like claw on his right hand changed into a missile carried on his shoulder and pointed straight forward.

Yan Lingwan stretched out his hands, and the small house behind him exploded. In the space deep in the cave, a thick dark cloud was summoned, and lightning rolled, flickering.

Accumulate spiritual pressure and make preparations.

When the Glazed Peacock approaches its limit, the power of the barrier is weakened to less than half.

The two knives attacked at the same time.

The missile was launched, lightning struck, and there was a loud bang, shaking the entire cave so much that it made a buzzing sound.

The bottom of the cave.

Jiu Lama pricked up his ears: "Explosion."

"Whose fight is this? Why is there such a big commotion? Aren't you afraid that we will all be buried here?"

It said this with a light-hearted tone, not afraid of this "worry" at all.

"It's not a battle." Naruto shook his head and looked forward, "It's the power of several Zanpakutō."

"Remember my previous guess?"

"It was not Muramasa who sealed the captain-general, but the captain-general himself."

"He made such a big fuss and didn't continue to attack the Soul Society when I was away. Most likely he wanted to bewitch my sword or use the power of the god of death to break the seal on the captain-general."

"Now he knows that I have noticed his thoughts and I know that his thoughts are shattered. Since he is going to try to use other methods to break the captain's barrier."

"How can it deal with me without using the power of Ryujin Jakka?"

Jiu Lama shook his fur and nodded his head.

This is good news, as their spiritual pressure performance clearly reveals their location.

Following the spirit's trail, they arrived moments later.

Naruto's Reiatsu appeared, attracting the attention of the four Zanpakutō.

"The barrier doesn't seem to be broken?" Jiu Lama muttered.

The triangular pyramid barrier is still intact, and the old man inside is still sitting there.

It was dark, with only a faint light reflected from the barrier, which was cast onto Muramasa's face, pulling his facial features upwards and casting a shadow.

"No damage?" He grinned. His face, which was originally pretty and handsome, now looked extremely ferocious and evil. "What are you talking about?"

"This is the combined power of the three most suitable Zanpakutō."

"Even if it is Yamamoto Genryusai's barrier"

He took a step further, walked to the barrier, and pressed it lightly.

The barrier's self-counterattack was not triggered, but instead there was a crisp clicking sound.

The barrier shattered into pieces, and pieces of light fell off.

"It will also be breached." Muramasa said softly, his eyes greedy, and he stretched out his hand, "Uzumaki Naruto, you are late."

Ability activated.

"No hook, no punishment!"

He grasped Yamamoto Genryusai's heart.

"Even if you noticed my thoughts, so what? I have already got what I wanted." Muramasa grinned brightly.

The barrier was broken.

Yamamoto Genryusai opened his eyes and looked at Naruto in front of him and the three Zanpakutōs clustered on both sides: "Naruto, you're back."

"Is the barrier still broken?"

"Be careful, Muramasa."

Naruto said softly, "Captain, I have fought him once before, and his ability has no effect on my sword."

"Really?" the captain asked softly.

Muramasa was still smiling. He stretched out his hand and slashed through the air, tearing out a black crack. "There is no need for us to continue fighting."

"Wait! Muramasa, what are you going to do!" Quefeng's eyes widened, and his tone was incredible, "You want to leave?"

"But the barrier has been broken."

"Ryujin Jakka can also become our partner."

"Now is the time for us to eliminate Uzumaki Naruto and achieve our goal."

The captain-general scolded, "Whose Zanpakutō are you? How could you have such a stupid idea?"

The bee was stunned and blinked.

"I think Muramasa's idea was never to lead the Zanpakuto to fight against the Shinigami as he said." Naruto continued, "I think he must have other purposes."

The captain narrowed his eyes: "This guy is trying to invade my heart."

"Found a way to unlock a seal."

Muramasa smiled and said, "That's it. Captain, you were willing to seal yourself to stop me, but it was ineffective in the end."

“Finally, I succeeded.”

"Goodbye, Death Gods."

"Goodbye, Zanpakutō."

Yan Lingwan's eyes widened: "You took advantage of us."

"It's really ugly. How about using a better word to describe it?" Muramasa spread his hands and said softly, "I just used your power in another way."

The sparrow bee gritted its teeth, looked fierce, raised its huge claws, and stabbed at Muramasa.

Naruto clapped his hands.

"King Kong Lockdown".

The chain rolled and also rushed towards Muramasa.

Muramasa raised his hand and waved it gently: "I have no intention of playing with you."

"Let him take my place."

While he was speaking, a flame suddenly gushed out from the ground, forming a high wall of fire that blocked the movement of the sparrow bee. Another tongue of fire rolled around the chain and melted into a pool of spiritual liquid in the blink of an eye, and evaporated into gas after another blink of an eye.

This is the power of Ryujin Jakka.

"The city walls are on fire."

This power, which was once used by the captain-general in the war with Aizen, now blooms before their eyes again.

Muramasa chuckled and walked into the dark chamber.

Compared to the time he escaped from Naruto not long ago, it was much more relaxed and comfortable.

Inside the firewall.

A figure who looked very similar to the captain appeared.

Only he was taller, had a younger face, and held a burnt-looking knife in his hand.

Jiu Lama's pupils widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is... Flame Demon!"

Naruto tilted his head, confused.

"This is his image. I saw it in a painting in the old man's bedroom." Kurama started to introduce him. "The old man said he was a flame demon who had plagued Soul Society for a long time."

"It was eventually sealed by his own hands."

"did not expect"

It tilted its head and landed on Captain Yamamoto.

At that time, it really thought that this was a powerful enemy that even Captain Yamamoto was worried about.

Unexpectedly, this "Flame Demon" actually refers to Captain Yamamoto himself.

It was his Zanpakutō, Ryujin Jakka.
