Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 270 Candidate: Tsunayashiro Tokinada

The battle in Seireitei continues.

Even Kurotsuchi Mayuri got involved. For the first time in decades, he integrated his clones, leaving only two, just in case.

He is not good at spiritual pressure.

The Quincies have all kinds of strange abilities, but their powerful spiritual pressure can hardly produce an immediate effect like the battle between Shinigami.

Even if you fight while performing the Shadow Clone Technique, it doesn't matter and won't have much impact.

"Spirit King." Mayuri narrowed his eyes and looked at Naruto. "It's hard to imagine that this word would come out of your mouth."

"What did you see in the Soul King Palace?"

"You are asked to ask us about the Spirit King."

Naruto turned around, took a look at the battlefield, reached out and took off Kurama: "Go and provide support."

He waved his hand again: "Let's go to the 12th Division and talk about it."

Jiu Lama responded.

It didn't have the idea that Naruto deliberately sent it away. As long as it didn't close its inner world, it would still be able to hear the news even if they were separated, unless the connection was suppressed by a spell like what happened when it dealt with Kaguya Otsutsuki that day.

It leaped forward and, following its perception, headed towards the battlefield where Fengqiao Lou Juro was.

Among the captains, his spiritual pressure is the weakest.

During the years in the real world and being "virtualized", he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this cruel war and was the worst performing captain.

Division 12, Technology Development Bureau.

Bright lights.

Even though Youhabach had already taken off into the Soul King Palace with some Exterminators.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri remained vigilant against the Quincy.

Don't give them any chance to invade your territory.

"It's time to talk now." Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't rush to contact Urahara Kisuke. He sat down and asked directly, "Why did Captain Uzumaki mention the Soul King?"

He paused, feeling a little guilty, but when he thought of the current situation, he immediately became confident: "Although my research on the Spirit King is not that in-depth."

"But you know me."

"To some extent, I have achieved some results."

"Maybe I can solve the problem you're having without Urahara Kisuke."

"I've done this kind of thing many times before."

Naruto spoke bluntly, without any intention of hiding anything: "I met the Soul King, and he may die in this war."

"So the Three Realms need a new wedge."

“It may not come in handy this time, but we should be prepared.”

Mayuri Kuroshige thought for a moment, "Kurosaki Ichigo."

Subconsciously, he thought of a name.

But before he could finish his words, he met Naruto's gaze and nodded in sudden realization.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome." Kurotsuchi Mayuri put his hands in his folds, "For the sake of the Three Realms, what's wrong with making some sacrifices?"

He is a person who only cares about the results, not the process.

As long as you can get what you want, you can do anything.

Just like this war
The dead god of death also uses the corpse for his own purposes.

"I've never done research on wedges before." Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly leaned forward, his eyes filled with desire and passion. "Come to think of it, let's discuss this. You've seen what happened today."

"If we don't do research beforehand, we'll have to ask for help from outside the Seireitei."

"Isn't it embarrassing?"

"My future captain-general, you should know that the current captain-general Yamamoto will not shift the responsibility of Seireitei to irrelevant people."

Naruto looked at him and shook his head: "That's a harsh thing to say."

"Captain Nie, you really will say anything to achieve your goal."

Kuroshio Mayuri shook his head and chuckled, "But this is the truth."

"I'll think about it." Naruto followed his words confidently, "Let's deal with the current trouble first."

Kuroshio Mayuri was well-behaved and didn't ask any more questions or force him.

He knew that Naruto would not break his promise easily, and since he said he would consider it, there was probably hope for this matter.

It is also clear that Naruto is a person who responds to softness and not hardness.

If we continue to push the issue or go too far, there will really be no hope at all.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers gently.

A screen extended out and a robotic arm swung, bringing it in front of the two people.

The signal was dialed and connected quickly.

"What a rare guest, Captain Kuroda actually contacted me on his own initiative." Urahara Kisuke's face was squeezed into a screen, and he shouted exaggeratedly. He was only halfway through his words when he saw the blond boy next to Kuroda Mayuri, and his expression and words stopped abruptly.

After a while, he regained his composure and changed the subject seriously: "Is it Naruto who wants to contact me?"

"That's even more bizarre."

"The battle situation in Seireitei is not going well. Do you need my help?"

Naruto shook his head, "The little troubles have been solved."

"There's a big problem."

Urahara Kisuke narrowed his eyes: "Is it the Soul King?"

"As expected." Naruto curled his lips, "You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you stop Kurosaki Ichigo at the beginning."

"I can't stop it." Urahara Kisuke spread his hands. He still habitually hid his true intentions under exaggerated and joking actions and words. "Yhwach threw out Ishida Uryu as a bait."

"Even if you come, Naruto, there's nothing you can do."

Naruto was silent for a while: "Forget it, there's no point talking about this now."

"How far have you progressed in your research on the wedge?"

Urahara Kisuke raised an eyebrow, with surprise on his face: "Did you convince the Zero Squad that if the Soul King is killed by Yhwach, Ichigo Kurosaki will not be used to replace him?"

"As expected, you know everything." Naruto lowered his eyelids, "Then you should also know how to make a wedge."

"I'll go to the Soul Society later and give it to you personally." Urahara Kisuke tilted his head and raised his hand to hold down his hat, "But Naruto, how can you be so sure that I will have it?"

Naruto paused and said in a low voice: "You are a cautious person."

"If, I just said if"

"If Kurosaki Ichigo unfortunately dies in this war, the Soul King will also die, and the world without the wedge will be destroyed."

Urahara Kisuke lowered his voice: "I am indeed cultivating a backup wedge."

"Although not as good as Kurosaki Ichigo"

Naruto recalled carefully, pulling out every bit of what he had seen and heard in Urahara's shop: "Are they those two kids?"

"As long as I give you a clue, you can discover everything with keen insight." Urahara Kisuke did not admit it directly, "I'll hand them over to you?"

Naruto shook his head and took a deep breath, "No need."

"We'll discuss the rest after you come to Seireitei."

Urahara Kisuke nodded.

The call was about to be disconnected.

"Don't act on your own, bring them here." Naruto added before the signal was cut off.

Before Urahara Kisuke could answer, their eyes briefly glanced at each other.

Naruto didn't want innocent people to be sacrificed.

But he knows it very well.
If the Soul King really died, he would only have two choices, one was Ichigo Kurosaki, and the other was the child that Kisuke Urahara specially raised as the "wedge".

He felt that he was afraid and could not resist protecting someone closer to him.

Now, in his mind, the best possible outcome was that after defeating Yhwach, the Soul King was still alive.

This would give them enough time to study the structure of the "wedge", and to turn the sinners into "wedges" to replace the Spirit King. At least the death of the Spirit King would be delayed until the new "wedge" was born.

After a few minutes.

Seireitei, Division 12, Technology Development Department.

"Long time no see, Naruto." Urahara Kisuke smiled and opened his arms, "Would you like a hug after such a long time of reunion?"

He said it and did it.

He took a big step forward, ready to give Naruto a forced hug regardless of the consequences.

only.
The golden chain whip wrapped around Urahara Kisuke's waist and was thrown aside casually.

"You haven't forgiven me yet." The head under the hat sighed and shook its head, "I even prepared a gift for you."

"Does Miss Yoruichi know that she is a gift?" Naruto said expressionlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black cat jumped out and slapped Urahara Kisuke's face with one claw, leaving a scarlet, narrow scratch: "Urahara! I was wondering why you wanted me to hide, so this is your purpose."

"Long story short, how do you make the wedge?" Naruto had no intention of continuing to joke with them, so he went straight to the point and asked directly.

Urahara Kisuke tilted his head and held up his hat with his hand: "Naruto, who are you going to make into a wedge?"

Naruto thought for a moment: "Confirm one thing first."

"To become the wedge between the three realms, the power of the Soul King, the God of Death, the Quincy, and the Hollow is needed?"

Urahara Kisuke shook his head: "Of course."

"How long will it take?" Naruto asked again.

Urahara Kisuke glanced at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and said, "If you use your clone technique, it should be fast."

"It's up to you now, who do you want to use as a wedge?"

Naruto said calmly, "Tsunayashiro Tokinada, Yhwach, as for the Soul King part, would it be better to use Soul King fragments instead of Fullbringers?"

Urahara Kisuke nodded.

Seeing his affirmation, Naruto continued: "In that case, there is no need to worry about the Hollows."

Having said that, it is a bit too contemptuous of "empty" life.

But in the entire Hueco Mundo, except for the outliers like "Nelliel", no one is innocent.

Without considering the balance of the three realms, if the entire Hueco Mundo is annihilated, innocent people may be harmed, but if nine out of ten Hollows are killed, no innocent people will be harmed, and some guilty guys will definitely be spared.

"Tsunayashiro family." Urahara Kisuke said softly, "Naruto you are really ambitious"

"But what about the captain?"

Naruto chuckled and shook his head as he spoke, "When I was in the Soul King Palace, Hyoshubu told me to be more ruthless and not so emotional."

"So I'm prepared to take his advice on this matter."

"Since the Central 46th Office can't make a decision to truly punish him, let me do it."

"Squad 7 also has the power to punish, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, he paused.

"Although there is no explicit rule, since the Soul King Palace is above the Seireitei, then..."

"The Spiritual King Palace can also be considered as part of the inner court."

Urahara Kisuke didn't say anything.

He was a cautious man, but this was Naruto's decision and he wasn't going to interfere.

Kuroshio Mayuri was already clapping happily.

"I'll go get him." Naruto walked out the door, "You guys start getting ready."

"Yhwach is not in our hands." Kurotsuchi Mayuri spread his hands.

Naruto looked at him and said nothing.

Kuroshio Mayuri sighed and nodded: "I understand. Let's just use other Quincies for now."

With just one glance, he knew what Naruto was thinking.

This is the relationship between the two.

Time waits for no one. After leaving the 12th Division, Naruto went straight to Tsunayashiro's house.

Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri have a slight disagreement, and both have different opinions on the selection of the "Quincy".

The Soul Society was in chaos, and even the Soul King Palace was not immune.

But some places.
It is still a pure land.

Among the five great noble families, those willing to join the war include the Shihōin family, the Kuchiki family, and the Shiba family.

The family guarding hell has a relatively more important task.

And the Tsunayashiro family.
I really don't want to put in any effort at all, just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then withdraw.

Naruto didn't hide his spiritual pressure.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada walked out to the yard and looked at him with a smile: "Captain Uzumaki, I am honored to see you."

"I didn't expect you to come to Tsunayashiro's at this time."

"The current situation of Seireitei."

“It doesn’t seem optimistic.”

Without waiting for Naruto to answer.

He just kept to himself and continued, "Is it because Seireitei has no more power to use and is preparing to forcibly conquer the Tsunayashiro family?"

"but."

"Please allow me to refuse as the head of the Tsunayashiro family."

"Not long ago, my Tsunayashiro family suffered a disaster. Bandits killed the main family and branch families. Now we don't have much power to use."

"As for myself—"

He just raised his hands.

"Because of some inexplicable little thing, my Zanpakutō has been taken away by the Central Forty-Six Chambers, and I am not even allowed to use the power of a Shinigami."

"I don't have the strength to fight for Seireitei like this."

"Or"

"Captain Uzumaki, are you ready to lift the ban on me?"

He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled lasciviously, with confidence in his eyes, as if he had Naruto in his grasp.

He was in a very happy mood.

Due to the limitations of the 12th Division, he could not understand the current situation very clearly, but now three or four captains have lost their combat effectiveness.

The purpose of this guy coming to me was to ask me to fight.

Seeing the enemy bowing down in front of you is undoubtedly the most pleasing thing.

"No." Naruto's answer was beyond his expectation, his blond hair swaying, his tone cold, "I am going to ask you to do something more meaningful."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada tilted his head.

Naruto continued, "The Tsunayashiro family is one of the five great noble families."

"In the current war, all other families have played a role, but the Tsunayashiro family has not done anything yet."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada spoke up: "I think I explained it just now."

"Now there is a more important mission that none other than the Tsunayashiro family can do." Naruto reached out and grasped the hilt of the Uzumaki, "and as the head of the family, you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

He pulled out the knife.

"Ancestor Tsunayashiro once attacked the Spirit King and made it into a wedge."

"Now."

"The Spirit King will abdicate."

"You will be the successor."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was startled and stared at Naruto in horror.
