Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

Some people clearly recognized the town, their faces showing reminiscence and emotion, and they discussed it noisily.

"I never thought I'd be back here again."

"Sigh, I've been away from this world for so long, I guess my relatives and friends are all gone."

These people are ordinary people who entered Rukongai from the human world, rather than being born in Soul Society from the beginning.

Soon, the chattering discussion gradually subsided.

More than their reminiscence and curiosity about the present world, what they care about is achieving excellent results in this soul burial internship.

Shiranui Sho's gaze swept over the team members before she spoke.

"I'm going to my assigned area now. Contact me through Hell Butterfly if anything comes up."

Soul burial can be completed by one person, so the most efficient division of labor is for one person to be responsible for one area.

After saying that, Shiranui Sho spotted the internship location assigned by the Shinigami Academy and quickly left.

Before leaving, he glanced around the area briefly.

Aizen Sousuke, who had previously passed through the Transcendental Gate with the Shinigami Academy's intern team, was not present at this time.

……

In the air, Aizen's shihaka armor jingled, his black glasses reflecting the sunlight, his usually gentle expression now cold and indifferent.

Below, the dense crowd appeared to him like ants.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the True Spirit Academy are mediocre, and there are only two people who are truly worthy of his attention.

"Shiranui Sora, Ichimaru Gin..."

Aizen's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "Let me see how far you've come."

Chapter 170 The Hollows Attack! Crimson Cero!

The soul burial mission of Shiranui Sho is progressing steadily.

Outside the farmhouse, the suppressed sobbing could be faintly heard from inside. An elderly woman, her body slightly translucent, leaned against the doorframe, staring blankly into the house.

Shiranui Sou walked steadily to his side and said softly, "It's time to go."

"Are you... the messenger who leads the dead?"

The old woman turned her head, startled by the sudden appearance of the stranger, and said uncertainly.

"...That's one way to put it."

With her right hand resting on the hilt of her sword, Shiranui Sho patiently explained, "I've come to send you to your final rest."

"Sir, may I stay?"

The old woman pleaded, "My family is still grieving my death, and my beloved grandson was just born. I want to watch him grow up."

"Please have some compassion and let me stay a few more years so I can watch him learn to walk and talk, okay?"

"I cannot agree."

Shiranui Sho calmly shook her head. "If you stay in the mortal world for too long, you might turn into a monster and harm your family."

"No! How could this be!"

The old woman suddenly became agitated, "You must be lying to me! You're the monster who harvests souls!"

Shiranui Sho did not continue to explain. With a flick of her right hand, she left a blur, and the bottom of the Zanpakuto hilt imprinted itself on the old woman's forehead.

The old woman, who was trying to escape, felt a coolness on the center of her forehead, and then the words "Death Lord" slowly took shape.

The translucent soul emitted a faint light from its edges, carrying her away from the mortal world and towards Rukongai.

Shiranui Sho sheathed her Zanpakuto, but the sound of sorrowful weeping still lingered clearly in her ears from inside the house.

His gaze passed through the window and into the room, where an infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lay in a cradle, crying out in response to the cries of his family.

After a moment of silence, Shiranui Sho walked to the next spot.

Fang Cai's situation is also one of the important reasons why the Shin-O Academy of Spiritual Arts holds a soul burial internship.

Human suffering, whether it's dying peacefully at a ripe old age or passing away unexpectedly, always leaves people with various reasons why they don't want to leave.

Some people tried every means to persuade Death not to take them away, and their reasons were touching and moving.

Some people even wanted Death to take their killers with them before they died, describing how hateful their enemies were.

But as a qualified Grim Reaper, one must ignore these emotional distractions and meticulously complete one's duties.

Allowing the spirit to linger could lead to a great disaster in the future, causing innocent people to die because of the birth of the "illusory".

The Soul Burial Internship was designed to make the students of the True Central Academy of Spiritual Arts aware of this point in advance.

After leaving the farmhouse, Shiranui Sho activated Shunpo and rushed to another location.

His gaze fell on the end of the street, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

This time, what appeared before him was not "Zheng," who looked exactly the same as when he was alive, but a half-human, half-monster whose face had become distorted and whose body was shrouded in an ominous black aura.

This is also "whole", but it is moving closer to the form of "empty".

"Roar... Ooh... Oh!"

The half-human, half-monster creature emitted low growls, as if trying to say something, but because it was gradually becoming "empty," it could not utter complete words.

"Fortunately, it's not too late."

Shiranui Sho took a deep breath and drew her Zanpakuto from her waist.

The monster before us is transforming into "Void" because it did not receive the soul burial from the Grim Reaper in time.

Fortunately, this transformation process is not yet complete, and there is still a possibility of purification.

Shiranui Sho activated Shunpo, drew her sword, and transformed into a blur.

Then, a flash of light appeared, and the ferocious monster was split in two. The ominous aura dissipated, and it disappeared in specks of white light.

"In that case, the area I'm responsible for should already be..."

Shiranui Sho sheathed her Zanpakuto again and was about to return to the meeting place when suddenly her eyes narrowed and she turned to look in the distant southeast direction.

In his perception, two ominous evil spirits suddenly appeared!

One of them was relatively weak, roughly the same as the Void he first encountered at the Lord's Mansion.

The other spiritual pressure was qualitatively different from the first, far surpassing it in strength.

"It seems that Aizen-sensei has started giving the students test questions."

After pondering for a moment, Shiranui Sho gave a cold laugh.

It seems that Aizen Sousuke prepared different opponents for him and Ichimaru Gin in order to find out their true strengths and weaknesses.

However...

But this level of strength is a bit of an underestimation of him!

……

Another area adjacent to Shiranui Sora.

"Ryoko, how's it going on here?"

After completing the soul burial mission in his own area, Takuya quickly went to the area that Ryoko was in charge of and struck up a conversation with her.

Upon seeing that it was Takuya, a hint of disappointment flashed across Ryoko's eyes, but she still politely said, "I'm almost done here too, I'll be there in a bit..."

Her words caught in her throat, her pupils constricted sharply to pinpoints, and she stared in disbelief at the clear sky in the distance, frozen as if struck by lightning.

"That...that is..."

"Ryoko, what are you looking at?"

Takuya followed her gaze into the distance, puzzled. His mind went blank for a moment, and he felt as if he were nailed to the spot, unable to move.

A sudden cracking sound rang out in the azure sky.

Cracks spread across the sky, and a huge, pale white claw suddenly pierced through the dark gaps, tearing the sky open like a piece of cloth.

From the ripped opening, the head of a monster wearing a huge white, long-nosed bone mask slowly emerged!

"The Great...Great Void!?"

Takuya's lips trembled slightly as he uttered the name for the monster before exclaiming in terror, "Ryoko, run! Run!!"

"No, it's too late..."

Ryoko's face turned deathly pale, and her right hand trembled as she raised it, pointing at the enormous spiritual pressure that was gradually gathering in the Great Void's mouth.

next second...

The savage, violent flash erupted directly at their location!

Upon seeing this, Ryoko and Takuya looked utterly devastated.

With their current level of Kido and Shunpo as first-year students, they were unable to resist or escape this powerful Cero.

However, just as the two were about to close their eyes and await death, a figure suddenly swept past and landed steadily in front of them.

"Get out of here quickly."

Shiranui Sho's gaze swept over the two of them, and she frowned.

Although the Great Void is a bit excessive for you, what's the point of standing still and waiting to die?

After giving the reminder, Shiranui Xiao said no more, focusing her attention on the red phantom in front of her, and chanting softly.

At the same time, he stretched out his hands forward, his eyes slightly cold.

"Binding Technique Thirty-Nine, Round Gate Fan!!"

A circular protective shield suddenly materialized, blocking the path of the red Cero and protecting Shiranui Sho and Ryoko and Takuya behind her.

Boom—

With a deafening roar, the crimson flash struck the round gate, the massive explosion piercing the air.

However, to the astonishment of Ryoko and the others, the powerful red Hollow Flash was steadily blocked by Shiranui Sho's Kido, unable to advance an inch!

Chapter 171 First-Class Spiritual Might! Annihilating a Great Void with a Single Slash!

"They actually...they actually blocked it!?"

Ryoko and Takuya stared in shock, their eyes widening as that tall, imposing figure seemed to grow ever larger before their eyes.

The lingering power of the illusory flash dissipated, causing the clothes of the Unknown Fire Cloud to rustle and sway in the wind.

He stared at the enormous Hollow, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Kilian... you're underestimating me!"

The Hollows are formed by the mutual devouring of Hollows and are divided into three classes: Kyrian, Adjuchas, and Vastod.

Among them, the Kylian are of the lowest level, formed by hundreds of ordinary Void creatures devouring and aggregating each other, and most of them have low intelligence.

For the students who struggled even against ordinary Hollows, a Hollow of Kylian's caliber was certainly an opponent they could hardly defeat.

But for Shiranui Sou... she's too weak!

"If I kill a Great Hollow, will I get extra points for the Soul Burial internship?"

Shiranui Sho placed her right hand on the hilt of the Zanpakuto and asked in a calm tone.

"Bonus points?"

With their minds blank, Ryoko and Takuya subconsciously recalled the evaluation rules for the Soul Burial Internship.

But they quickly realized the meaning behind the words, and their pupils contracted.

What did he say?

Not running away, but going to... kill the Great Hollow!?

Are you kidding me!

It's important to know that even the lowest-ranking Hollow Grim Reaper requires at least a Shinigami of the Seat Commander level to deal with!

If Shiranui Sho knew what these two were thinking, she would probably just shake her head with a smile.
