Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 161 The Supreme Level Hollow
The courtyards of the First and Fifth Divisions are both decorated with dry landscape architecture.

But the flavor is completely different.

The captain's yard has a stronger sense of "wabi-sabi".

"The person who was caught doesn't seem to be panicked at all." Naruto said softly, carefully observing every subtle expression on his face.

Aizen remained gentle: "The shadow was stepped on."

“Are you worried about not being able to move forward?”

As they were talking, the two of them walked to the door of the team dormitory.

He paused and nodded in farewell, "Keep up the good work Naruto-kun."

"Go faster, then you'll have a chance to catch up with me."

Naruto stopped and stared at him.

But Aizen stopped interacting with him, called out to Gin Ichimaru, and turned away.

What does this person mean?
What does it mean to have hope of catching up with him?
Did he reveal his true colors on purpose so that he could be caught?

Naruto frowned in thought as he returned to his team barracks.

No.
Aizen's purpose has always been clear.

The only thing one can gain from revealing one's true colors is the mental pleasure of provoking Soul Society.

As for other benefits?

It seems not.

You can't even put the blame on others.

But his performance showed that he had been mentally prepared from the very beginning.

Wait till the 7th Squadron.

Naruto finally came up with a guess.

Among the graduates of this year's Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts, Aizen sought to accept all the outstanding students, but due to his own interference, the only one who ended up falling into his hands was Abarai Renji.

And
It is said that Abarai will soon be transferred out of the 5th Division.

His performance was excellent, but there was no suitable position for him in the fifth squad.

Captain Aizen couldn't bear to delay Abarai's growth, so he was looking for connections to transfer him to another team.

Of course, this is the obvious reason.

Actually.
Naruto had some understanding of Abarai. He was a man who seemed to be brainless, but was actually quite smart, ambitious and determined.

He is a warrior who holds the sword and moves forward, and he will not become someone else's sword.

Aizen probably found that he was difficult to use, and that his intelligence and strength meant that keeping him around would be a bit of a "hindrance", so he came up with such an excuse.

Then
How many companions does Aizen have?

Naruto thought, it should be very few.

Not even that.

Kagura's ability of the mind's eye is there for all to see. He has tested everyone who has had much contact with Aizen, including his good friend Gin Ichimaru.

Aizen himself is very picky, and fools and idiots will never be his companions.

So, even if he is causing huge trouble to himself and Soul Society now.

It is a "horrible monster" that is "invisible".

But the reality is that he is facing a relatively embarrassing situation. In the "Soul Society", he has no helpers. And without his own intervention, it will be difficult to find a suitable helper in the future.

In addition, Kisuke Urahara recently "exposed" his position.

Another piece of broken jade is right in front of us.

It's not that he wanted to do anything, but under the current conditions, if he has not given up his ambition and wants to gain enough power to fight against Seireitei, he can only do this.

He was caught by himself, and it was not some "signal" he deliberately sent out.

This is the price that must be paid for doing this.

It's just that he had anticipated it, knew what would happen, and was prepared, so he was so calm when he disclosed the matter.

Just like he said.

All he revealed was a mere shadow.

The "shadow" can point to him, but it cannot prove that it is him.

But the shadow has come out, how long can he hide?
The number of attacks by the Hollow on the Shinigami has become more and more frequent during this period.

It’s just that kind of “special death power” rarely appears.

But this is not entirely good news. The Xu that appeared in the real world is becoming stronger and stronger.

And
Some virtual things that should not appear in the "real world" also frequently appear in the messages.

The 10th Squadron barracks.

Shiba Kaiyan compiled the information from several Shinigami before their sacrifices and presented it to Shiba Isshin: "There are suspected traces of Hollows in Naruki City and its surrounding areas."

"This is the news sent back by the soldiers of Squadron 13 and the Fullbringers."

"And it's not just an ordinary big hollow."

"At least."

"Yachucas".

Shiba Isshin scratched his head, a troubled look on his face: "Yachukas."

"This is very unusual."

"It looks like the work of that enemy Naruto mentioned."

Shiba Kaien shook her head and said, "Uncle Isshin, Captain Ukitake also suspected it was that person."

“But there is no evidence.”

"The monitoring data of spiritual pressure and spiritual waves retrieved from the 12th Division have confirmed that there is no power of the Shinigami in that Hollow, nor any trace of the 'Arrancar'."

"We can't leave everything to Squad 7."

The Seventh Division was just the 'Inner Court Guards', and Naruto investigated those matters before because he was the only one who knew the intelligence best.

And now.
There is no evidence to prove that the appearance of this big virtual creature is related to that incident.

Such things have happened in history.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a great hollow at the level of "Vastold" that attacked the Seireitei.

It is not surprising what creatures without emotions would do.

"I should have known not to accept the position of captain of the 10th Division." Shiba Isshin sighed, but his body movements were honest as he picked up the intelligence. "I understand. Since it is a Hollow of this level, I have to do it myself."

He stood up, mumbling. "It would be nice if Naruto could be my vice-captain."

Zhibo Haiyan was helpless: "Uncle Yixin, don't say such unreasonable and willful nonsense."

"Kūkaku knows he's going to beat you up again."

Shiba Isshin was dejected and turned to call out to Rangiku.

But the orange-haired beauty was not around, so he had to do it himself and prepare to go to the real world.

after an hour.

Over Naruki City.

A door opened, and Shiba Isshin stepped out of it in an instant. He stretched out his hand and the Hell Butterfly landed on his fingertips.

"The taste of the world" he was about to sigh, but his brows furrowed, "Why has it become so weird?"

"never mind."

He reached out and touched the mark on his neck.

Even though this time the mission is to be carried out, restrictions are still imposed.

"Captain Shiba of the Tenth Squad?" a voice came from behind.

Shiba Isshin turned around and saw a black-haired man wearing a Shinigami uniform: "The acting Shinigami, Ginjō Kūgo?"

"Are you here to meet me?"

Ginjo Kūgo nodded, "Yes, there are no new Shinigami stationed in Naruki City now, and Captain Ukitake has given me full responsibility."

"Have you ever fought with that Hollow?" Shiba Isshin asked.

Ginjo Kūgo shook his head: "I didn't."

"But people in my organization have fought against that guy."

"It's a bad situation."

"In our organization, there is a person with special abilities who can register all the members of the organization on a map. If there is a problem with the spiritual pressure, he can detect it immediately."

"But even so, whenever they get into trouble, I rush over as soon as possible, but no trace of my companions or Xu disappears completely."

"That guy is so powerful that even some of our companions who have strong self-protection abilities will be killed instantly by him."

Shiba Isshin scratched his head and said, "That's why you want me to do it myself."

"Where is Captain Uzumaki?" Ginjo Kūgo poked his head out and asked cautiously.

He had also heard of the reputation of the captain of the 10th Division, Isshin Shiba.

Of course, it's hardly a good reputation.

Let him come over. Ginjo Kūgo thinks that Captain Uzumaki is the best.

"Don't you trust me?" Zhiba Isshin frowned and sighed.

Ginjo Kūgo quickly shook his head: "No, it's just that Captain Uzumaki may be more familiar with the present world and our situation."

"Don't worry." Zhiba Isshin raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm strong too."

"possible."

"About the same as that brat."

Ginjō Kūgo was stunned.

Is his strength similar to Captain Uzumaki?

This sloppy uncle?

If there was still some trust in my heart just now, it is completely gone at this moment.

Can you trust someone who is so good at bragging?

"Oh?" Zhiba Isshin suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction. "It appeared."

Ginjo Kūgo was a beat slow to look over, his expression solemn.

Heavy and massive spiritual pressure.

The sky was stained with the color of "evil and chaos".

"You go back." Zhiba Isshin leaned forward and was about to step forward instantly.

Before he could finish his words, Ginjo Kūgo interrupted him and said seriously and firmly: "I'll go too."

"Naruki City is our home now."

Zhiba Yixin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily: "Okay then, come with me."

"but."

"If you can't bear it, run away."

"There is no shame in running away."

Ginjo Kūgo agreed.

They both moved instantly.

What surprised Shiba Isshin was that the level of this deputy Shinigami was not low. He had only been in the position for a few decades, but now he was at the level of a vice-captain - and this was because he grew up in this kind of environment in the real world.

The most important thing is that he also has a "Proxy Death Certificate" on him, which limits his spiritual pressure.

Southwest of Naruki City.

On the river bank, a not-so-big ghost was wandering around.

It was very sensitive to the two spiritual pressures coming towards it, but did not run away and waited patiently.

"Is that a Hollow?" The two of them landed on the river bridge. Ginjo Kūgo frowned, staring at the Hollow with a puzzled tone.

大虚
Isn't it huge in size?
But this Hollow was much smaller than the Hollows he usually encountered. It had a human body, limbs, torso, and black armor-like skin. Its face was a mask without any lines and was clean.

The hollow hole in the chest was blocked by a milky white "substance".

"It's not Achukas, it's Vastod." Shiba Isshin said with a heavy face.

This virtual creature is almost identical to a human being, even with thick long white hair. The pair of ox-like horns on its head are its only "non-human" feature.

Ginjō Kūgo was puzzled.

"It's a Hollow, the most advanced Hollow." Shiba Isshin slowly drew out his Zanpakutō, his expression serious and solemn, "This is really a big trouble."

"Yachukas you can still participate."

“His Words”

"Run quickly, notify Seireitei, and request backup."

(Also! It helps me get into the rhythm of exercise!)
