From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 326 Don’t chase me away, let me eat for two more minutes, please, Pure Land!
Although it has basically been determined where this place is.

But Bane asked this question first.

"Just as you guessed, this is indeed the Pure Land. Or, in other words, it is the path for the soul to return to the Pure Land. If we continue to walk forward along this path," Hatake Sakumo said, pointing the direction to Bane, "we will soon reach the Pure Land. Of course, this is just my personal understanding. Normally, only I can walk into the Pure Land from this path. I don't know about you and I."

As for where this information came from, in the words of Hatake Sakumo, you will know it after you die once. It is like instinct, and you will naturally know it when you die.

"Pure Land?" Bane looked in the direction Hatake Sakumo pointed out, touched his chin and muttered, then asked: "Then how can I return to the real world now?"

Although he is also interested in the Pure Land, Bane still prefers to return to the real world first.

No matter how interested you are, there are bound to be dangers in the Pure Land, a world of the dead. It is certainly inappropriate to come here without any preparation. Let's talk about it next time.

"Hahahaha." Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but laugh and shook his head when he heard that: "Sorry, I don't know the answer. After all, if we knew how to go back, I'm afraid there would be a big mess."

"That's true," Ben smacked his lips.

Obviously, Hatake Sakumo was only answering Bane's question 'as best he could'. In fact, as an elite of Konoha, he had at least heard that the Second Hokage had once studied some forbidden techniques concerning the dead.

But this involves the secrets of Konoha's ninjutsu, and the information of forbidden techniques certainly cannot be leaked casually. Even though he is dead now, he will not tell Bane these things.

For example, if someone in the outside world uses the Impure World Reincarnation, he might be able to get out.

Of course, Bane was very clear about all this. Although he felt a little annoyed that he was inexplicably sent to the Pure Land, he actually relaxed a little after confirming the situation here.

If Nami, Zoro and the others were not forcibly summoned to this hellhole like himself, they would definitely not give up on saving himself.

With their strength, in this ninja world, as long as they don't come into contact with the Six Paths Sage, Kaguya, Otsutsuki and the like, there should be no pressure.

With their strength and ability, they will find the answer sooner or later and save themselves.

Apart from being rescued, Bane felt that he should still have a chance. He was just on the road now. When he reached the pure land, perhaps he could find some answers and solutions?
In addition to these options, Bane actually has another trick up his sleeve. He had already done experiments when he first arrived at this damn place, and the portal in his body could still be opened.

In other words, although he can't wear the body, he can wear the soul!
Directly return to the Pirate World or the Empire in the state of a soul, then open the door and arrive at this ninja world again. Then maybe once you come here, your own body will be used as the coordinate, and everything will return to normal?
In short, because he knows what's going on, he is still relatively calm.

After another conversation with Hatake Sakumo, Bane got a general understanding of the situation here, and it was obvious that Hatake Sakumo's knowledge of this place was also very limited.

Bane was not surprised by this. This was the normal situation.

It would be strange if Hatake Sakumo knew a lot about the Pure Land.

Apart from the information about the Pure Land, Bane had nothing else to ask Hatake Sakumo. Since he already knew the direction to go, Bane had no intention of staying here any longer.

Hatake Sakumo was waiting for his great son Kakashi here, so that the father and son could go to heaven together. Why did Ben stay here? To be a light bulb?
Obviously, Hatake Sakumo, who had been lonely for a long time, was reluctant to leave. He really hoped that Bane could stay, so that he would feel much better.

But in the end he still did not make these rude requests, after all, he knew that the other party would never agree.

"I'll give it to you. This fire will guide you to the pure land." Hatake Sakumo took out a piece of wood from the campfire and handed it to Bane like a torch.

Ban took the torch and smiled, "Thank you very much. If I can go back, is there anything you want me to bring to Kakashi?"

Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Although I think it will take a long time, I will continue to wait like this. I still hope to tell him in person what I want to say."

"I see." Bane nodded and said, "If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore."

"It may seem inappropriate to say this in this environment, but I still wish you a safe journey." Hatake Sakumo said with a smile.

Without any reluctance, Bane decisively held the torch and walked in the direction pointed by Hatake Sakumo.

When Bane's back and the fire gradually disappeared at the end of the sight, Hatake Sakumo slowly sat down on the stone pier again, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and soon there was no movement.

Maybe the next time he wakes up, he will really be able to see Kakashi?

On the other side, after Bane said goodbye to Hatake Sakumo, he didn't know how long he had been walking. Anyway, the firewood torch in his hand didn't change at all, as if it would never burn out and emitted flames.

Just as Bane stepped on the barren sand as he had done countless times before, this time, Bane paused slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

There are changes!

It's not the scenery that has changed. The surrounding situation is still the same. There is no end in sight, and no sign of pure land can be found. It is still endless desolation.

However, as if this step finally stepped into something, these wastelands seemed to "come alive".

He quickly squatted down and grabbed a handful of fine sand from the ground. It looked the same as before, but essentially, it had changed.

The power of soul!

As the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Bane felt the power of the soul from these fine sands, as if their essence was made up of soul power!

And it is very pure soul power, white and pure.

Bane, who was originally a soul, slowly raised the fine sand in his hand and put it to the tip of his nose. Then, he took a deep breath. The originally distinct particles of fine sand instantly turned into pure soul light and were sucked into his body in one breath.

Although the volume was small, Bane could feel that his soul had grown a little stronger. This growth was insignificant, but Bane's eyes became excited. At this moment, he looked up at the endless wasteland again. The fine sand was like gold, shining with an attractive brilliance.

"Thank you for the gift of the Pure Land. I misunderstood you." Bane stood up and prayed devoutly.

He originally thought that the Pure Land was calling him to harm him, but now it seems that this was not harming him at all, it was loving him!
Without any delay, Bane quickly grabbed a handful of fine sand from the ground. This time he didn't do anything fancy, he just stuffed it into his mouth and ate big mouthfuls of dirt.

And the fine sand that was eaten quickly merged with Bane's soul after entering his soul body, enhancing his soul power.

At the same time, Bane could feel that the deeper he went into the area, the more soul power contained in the fine sand.

Therefore, Bane was moving deeper in this direction while waving the fine sand.

He felt very emotional at this moment. It was such a pity that there was nothing in this damn place except the barren sand on the ground. Otherwise, if there were some wild boars or bisons here, it would definitely be a great tonic to eat!

"Huh?" Bane swallowed the sand in one gulp, suddenly stopped and looked back.

Can Hatake Sakumo be eaten?

But soon, Bane gave up the idea. Forget it. Isn't it too cruel? Moreover, it is estimated that Hatake Sakumo's soul is not as pure as these fine sands. It is probably difficult for him to digest the obsession of waiting for his son, right?

At the same time, in front of the campfire, Hatake Sakumo, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly startled, opened his eyes again, looked around, and nothing changed, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill?

"It's incomprehensible." Hatake Sakumo rubbed his nose, didn't think much about it, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

On the other side, Bane ate dirt madly, gradually going deeper into the area. The purity of the fine sand in his mouth became higher and higher, but due to its size, the gain to Bane was not much, but it was almost endless.

Bane felt that as long as he ate all the soil in this area, the strength of his soul would at least increase by several levels, right?
But even if I want to eat all the land with my own appetite, I don't know how long it will take? Anyway, it will definitely take years.

With all these random thoughts in his mind and dirt in his mouth, Bane didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the situation underground, then turned his head again to look at his feet, there was no difference, but at this moment, he knew that he had entered the "Pure Land".

After a brief pause, Bane turned around and tried to return to his previous position.

But as soon as he took a step forward, it was as if the space had undergone a special change. It seemed that he had taken a step forward, but in fact, he was just standing still.

"Interesting. Once you enter the Pure Land, you arrive in the world of the dead and can never get out again?" Bane thought, stroking his chin.

Without dwelling on these things, he looked back at the Pure Land world, observing whether there were any changes here, and took another step forward.

This time, after walking for more than half an hour, Ben stopped, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's called a pure land, but actually, there's no change in scenery compared to the 'area' where Hatake Sakumo was just now. It's still a wasteland, and the souls of other dead people can't be seen at all. The only change is that the purity of the fine sand on the ground is higher, and after walking so far, the purity has not changed. It's very likely that this is the limit.

"So, the Pure Land is just an empty, endless desert? After the soul comes here, it wanders around, or like Hatake Sakumo before, it falls into a deep sleep until it is assimilated and swallowed by this desert and turned into the purest fine sand?" Bane thought to himself.

His speculation actually had no basis, and judging from the 'battlefield of the living dead' during the Fourth Shinobi World War, ninjas who had been dead for decades could have their souls pulled out of the Pure Land by the Impure World Reincarnation. Therefore, it was not certain whether this Pure Land would assimilate the souls of the dead.

It might be different, and it might take much longer than Bane had thought. Hundreds of years? Thousands of years?
Thinking of this in his mind, Bane instinctively grabbed another handful of soil and stuffed it into his mouth, absorbing the soul power within.

And this time, maybe it has reached a limit? Or maybe it's something else.

In short, suddenly, the dark sky, which had been dim and gloomy, like a night sky without stars, suddenly brightened.

This naturally attracted Bane's attention. He quickly looked up at the sky. For a moment, with the help of the light, he seemed to see a hideous ghost face. At the same time, he felt that there seemed to be an extra layer of connection between himself and the Pure Land.

Not only was there more connection with the Pure Land, but also with the ghost shadow in the dark sky, but he was unable to activate this connection.

At the same time, although Bane only saw it for a moment, he was absolutely sure that the ghost-faced figure was the Grim Reaper!
The god of death summoned by the Shiki Fujin technique!
But it seems that guy is not conscious?

Before Bane could think about it, suddenly, the pressure of the surrounding environment doubled, and waves of rejection began to emerge from all directions, constantly pressing towards Bane.

"Damn, I'm not full yet." Bane knew that he would soon be kicked out of the Pure Land. While complaining, he frantically grabbed dirt from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

The main point is to eat as much as you can!

And with Bane's crazy behavior of eating dirt here, the feeling of rejection intensified again, as if Jingtu invited a guest to his home and wanted to talk about something, but the guest was simply brutal. He ate the floor tiles, furniture and other things in his house as soon as he entered the door. Jingtu was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore and tried every means to drive the guest away.

"I'm not full yet. Please give me some face. My brother is Red Hair. Please give me two more minutes." Bane felt that his soul strength was no longer able to fight against the rejection of Pure Land, and shouted in the hope that Pure Land would give him some face.

But after he shouted, he found that the scene in front of him had completely changed. Nami, who was wiping his face with a towel in her hand, looked at Bane with a very strange look.

"So, Uncle Ben, you are dreaming? Are you not full yet? Also, when did you become brothers with Red Hair?" Nami said with a twitching mouth.

Bane was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Damn, I might have missed the chance to become a god!"

"What opportunity to become a god?" Fubuki and the others also heard the commotion here, and they all came over excitedly and curiously.
