Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 437 Matsumoto Rangiku: Gintoki isn't dead, is he?

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, do you think you can kill me by locking yourself up with me?"

"You're wrong. It's not me locked in this cage, it's you!"

Aizen smiled and said, "You've brought this upon yourself!"

Yamamoto Shigekuni snorted coldly: "You're quite arrogant, Aizen."

"No matter how powerful the Hogyoku is, it's just a tool. Whether it's strong or not depends on yourself."

The white fox panicked: "Gentlemen, could you please let me out?"

Aizen chuckled: "Gin, this isn't up to me."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto: "Hmph, traitors must all die!"

Gin Ichimaru: "————Help!"

boom!

The hollow fireball instantly filled with flames, engulfing Aizen and Gin Ichimaru.

Yamamoto Shigekuni used some kind of technique, and the outer layer of flames acted as a reflector, reflecting the heat of the flames erupting inside back and gathering it back in the center.

Then it radiates, reflects, and gathers again, repeating this cycle repeatedly. The temperature inside the fireball rises rapidly, exceeding the level required to melt gold and iron in the blink of an eye.

But through the dazzling firelight, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru remained motionless, like two charred corpses.

Yamamoto Shigekuni is the strongest Shinigami (death god), having fought countless battles over thousands of years, possessing extremely rich combat experience.

He glanced at them and realized that the two traitors were completely unharmed by the flames, which made his heart grow heavier.

After persisting for a few more minutes, confirming that the flames at this level could not harm Aizen and Gin Ichimaru, Captain-Commander Yamamoto decisively withdrew the flames.

As the flames that had been obscuring his vision disappeared, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru reappeared in his sight.

Aizen maintained his calm smile, while Gin Ichimaru exaggeratedly stuck out his tongue and exclaimed, "It's so hot! It almost burned me to death! Captain-Commander, you're amazing!"

Gin Ichimaru's flippant manner easily provoked Shigekuni Yamamoto's anger, but he was already well aware of the two traitors' formidable strength, so he did not show his anger.

Yamamoto Shigekuni raised his head, opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that blazed with flames: "Since you don't want to leave peacefully, then I have no choice but to utterly destroy you."

"Swastika: Residual Fire Taishou!!"

Flames erupted from Yamamoto Shigekuni's body, flowing into his Zanpakuto like rivers flowing into the sea, before the Bankai Zanpakuto was inverted.

Yamamoto Shigekuni chanted coldly, "You souls, you ashes of the dead scattered in my flames! I bestow upon you the power of billions of flames, granting you the honor of battle!"

"Enjoy the burning pleasure of the battle to the fullest!"

"Broken Flame Katana - South - Ten Trillion Fire Death Burial Formation!"

As the captain's heavy voice fell, black ashes floated out of the flames, coalescing to form black, withered skeletal warriors.

These skeleton warriors were all enemies of Yamamoto Shigekuni, the unfortunate souls he burned to ashes with flames.

Now, these Captain-Commanders' enemies have been awakened by the Zankatachi, their ashes condensed by the power of flames into a jet-black skeleton, wielding various weapons used in life, surrounding Aizen and Ginichimaru.

Indeed, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was renowned for his use of fire, was actually a top-tier necromancer. Enemies killed by him with his Blazing Blade would become his puppets and fight for him.

These skeletons summoned from hell, though their bodies are pitch black, have terrifyingly high body temperatures, enough to soften steel and incinerate everything. Wherever they go, they will set off raging flames, making them arguably the most terrifying burning army in the Soul Society.

Originally, Captain-Commander Yamamoto did not want to use this move, but Aizen and Gin Ichimaru's strength had increased too much, far exceeding his expected limit by several times. In order to kill these two traitors, he had no choice but to use his last resort.

Aizen's smile vanished.

No matter how powerful his illusion magic is, he still exists within this space. When every place is filled with black skulls, he naturally has nowhere to hide.

He could continue to deceive the skeletons and Yamamoto Shigekuni's vision, but he couldn't deceive the high temperature on the skeletons' bodies. To resist the high temperature, he had to fight against it with spiritual pressure.

Now that Yamamoto Shigekuni's spiritual pressure is no longer a cover, Aizen's spiritual pressure will definitely not be hidden from Yamamoto Shigekuni.

Thinking this, Aizen smiled again: "Since we can't hide it anymore, then we won't hide it anymore."

In Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes, the original Aizen and Gin Ichimaru disappeared and appeared simultaneously in a space on the right that he had ignored.

The Captain-Commander looked dejected. He had indeed been hypnotized. The Eye of Fire, which he had painstakingly devised for months, was completely useless against Aizen's complete hypnosis.

Am I really getting old?

However, he still smiled and said, "I've finally caught you, Aizen."

Aizen's smile widened: "You are more powerful than I imagined, Captain-Commander Yamamoto. You may really be the strongest Shinigami."

"However, you will soon realize that I am stronger than you."

Yamamoto Shigekuni's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Arrogant!"

As he spoke, an unprecedentedly terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from Captain-Commander Yamamoto's body.

Caught off guard, Gin Ichimaru was blown away, screaming as he crashed into the wall of flames, his entire body engulfed in flames, and he fell out of the fireball.

A glint flashed in Aizen's eyes, and his spiritual pressure, no less than that of Yamamoto Shigekuni, erupted. The dense, black skeletons had no time to do anything before they were crushed by the spiritual pressure and crumbled back into ashes.

These terrifying burning skeletons are definitely not weaklings, but today's environment is just too unfriendly to them.

The fireball created by Yamamoto Shigekuni restrained the two powerful spiritual pressures. After the massive spiritual pressures collided, they had nowhere to be released and could only repeatedly oscillate within a limited space, amplifying the destructive power by more than a thousand times.

These powerful black skeletons, capable of exchanging blows with captain-level Shinigami, were destroyed by the intense collision of spiritual pressure before they could even unleash their full combat potential.

It was truly the most frustrating thing ever.

It's still Gintoki Ichimaru who's awakened.

As soon as Captain-Commander Yamamoto started to erupt, he sensed something was wrong and immediately used the Captain-Commander's spiritual pressure to escape from inside the fireball, risking being burned by the intense flames.

Otherwise, he would have ended up like those black skeletons, collapsing and coughing up blood under the combined attack of two equally matched spiritual pressures.

Aizen and Captain-Commander Yamamoto started the battle, but were isolated in a small battlefield by a giant fireball. The other Arrancar and Shinigami naturally couldn't stand idly by and joined the fight.

The battles in the Bleach world are very stylish, with soldiers fighting soldiers, generals fighting generals, captains fighting Espada, and vice-captains fighting their subordinates.

Among the captains, Toshiro Hitsugaya is the youngest and most impatient, and he was the first to fight with the magnanimous Harribel.

The two entered the climax not long after the start.

Toshiro activated his Bankai, donning an outfit with frost wings. He had brown skin, blond hair, blue eyes, and a voluptuous bust. Halibel also unleashed his power.

The original dress, which covered most of the face and extended down to the chest, was further shortened to become a cool short-skirt style swimsuit, revealing not only the pretty face but also the two hemispheres of the body.

Faced with the incredibly alluring Espada No. 3, the young Toshiro remained unmoved, wielding Hyōrinmaru and relentlessly hacking and slashing at the seductive older woman.

"Ice Dragon Tail Spin!"

"Ice Dragon Tail - Skybreaker!"

"Six-Clothes Ice Purification Formation!"

"Vacuum Ice Blade!"

Facing the short boy, Halibel naturally showed no weakness, brandishing his royal shark and pressing forward.

"Azure Sword Cannon!"

"Cero!"

The stalemate in the battle stirred up a strong gale, mixed with shards of ice, which sent chills down one's spine!

Overall, Captain Hitsugaya, with his more diverse skills, performed better, gradually putting the swimsuit-clad beauty Halibel at a disadvantage.

Seeing their leader being defeated, Helibel's three subordinates, Emilyu Apache, Francesca Mila Rhodes, and Sunsun, rushed forward to help.

Toshiro's vice-captain, Matsumoto Rangiku, stepped forward, blocking the path of the snake woman, the lioness, and the doe, refusing to let them interfere with her captain's seemingly within-his-hands victory.

Upon seeing Matsumoto Rangiku's large, wavy breasts, Apache, Rhodes, and Sunson forgot about their captain.

Because the enemy before them was even bigger, and her F+ size was too hateful, the three female Arrancar now only wanted to hit Rangiku hard and never see this hateful woman again.

Although Matsumoto Rangiku is beautiful and fierce, and exceptionally skilled at handling team affairs, the fundamental reason she was able to become the vice-captain is that she is strong enough.

Rangiku could absolutely crush any one of Halibel's three subordinates; she could even take them down in a two-on-one situation.

But there were three of them, and they cooperated closely with each other, so Matsumoto Rangiku was in grave danger, and it wasn't long before she was forced to release her Zanpakuto, Gray Neko.

Matsumoto Rangiku's Gray Cat is a wind-type Zanpakuto, with an attack style similar to Senbonzakura. After being released, the blade turns into smoke.

Anything shrouded in smoke and in contact with it can be slashed by Rangiku simply by swinging the hilt of her sword; her fighting style is perfect for taking on multiple opponents at once.

Because they were unaware of the situation, the three girls ignored the smoke and dust when they first encountered Gray Cat, and Matsumoto Rangiku was able to easily attack them. Gray Cat slashed their entire bodies, leaving countless fine wounds.

The three Apache girls were severely injured. After exchanging glances, they became more cautious and released their Zanpakuto.

"Throw her away, Azure Deer Fighting Woman!"

"Bite her to pieces, Golden Lion General!"

"Strangle her, White Snake Princess!"

With each of the three women roaring, their Arrancar appearances changed dramatically, transforming into unique humanoid forms of reindeer, lions, and snakes, each displaying powerful spiritual pressure that revealed their immense strength.

Emilyu Apache pointed at Matsumoto Rangiku and said, "We can't waste time on this bitch. Lord Halibel needs our support! Let's take her down in one go!"

With the release of their Zanpakuto, the three women not only changed their appearance and increased their spiritual pressure, but also had all their previous injuries healed.

Moreover, their attack and defense capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and the gray cat's smoke slash can only cause minor scratches.

Matsumoto Rangiku, having failed in her initial assault, lost the initiative and was attacked by the three alien girls. Apache used the antlers on her head to launch an attack, Mila swung her greatsword, and Sun Sun lashed out with her long tail.

The three attacked in perfect unison, leaving Rangiku with no way to dodge and causing her to bleed from both her mouth and wounds.

Despite being in danger, Matsumoto Rangiku remained calm. She condensed the dust from the gray cat, forming a defensive circle that served as a form of offense.

The fine dust was like invisible blades, and the hedgehog-like defense left the three women helpless.

After Apache launched several powerful attacks with the antlers on his head, he not only failed to defeat Matsumoto Rangiku, but also suffered numerous wounds on his own head from the gray cat's slashing.

The excruciating pain in her head drove Apache to madness. She roared, "You think this flimsy defense can stop me?"

With a deafening roar, Apache forgot the pain and danger, transforming into a raging reindeer and launching a savage charge.

The other two subordinates coordinated simultaneously, unleashing a surge of spiritual pressure and making their attacks even more ferocious.

The pressure on the gray cat has increased dramatically, and the dust defense circle is on the verge of collapse, seemingly about to break at any moment.

However, Matsumoto Rangiku displayed exceptional strength and extensive combat experience, skillfully turning danger into safety every time she encountered it.

The defensive perimeter was teetering on the brink of collapse, but it just wouldn't break through.

After a prolonged and unsuccessful attack, Apache's burst of spiritual pressure began to wane, and her patience was completely exhausted.

Then, the horn above Apache's head shone brightly, and the immense spiritual pressure was compressed into a single point, bursting out as a dazzling Cero.

"Break it open! You wretched turtle shell! You damn slut!"

Cero is the strongest attack of the Hollows, destroying the dust defenses like hot water splashed on snow.

Matsumoto Rangiku's expression was solemn. She condensed the flying dust back into a blade and held it in front of her.

boom-!

The Cero failed to destroy Grey Cat, but the force of the explosion severely injured Matsumoto Rangiku, who immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her Shinigami armor was also damaged in the explosion.

Just as Matsumoto Rangiku retreated rapidly, and the three Apache women launched a vicious pursuit, the huge fireball in the sky suddenly expanded and emitted a blinding light.

A humanoid figure was "spit out" from the fireball, his entire body engulfed in flames. Like a shooting star, he streaked across the space between Matsumoto Rangiku and the three Apache girls, interrupting their battle.

The fireball eventually crashed heavily into the ground, collapsing houses across an entire block and creating a huge crater.

"That's... Ah Yin?"

Matsumoto Rangiku didn't actually see who was in the flames.

But she intuitively believed that the person engulfed in flames was Gin Ichimaru.

Matsumoto Rangiku's heart clenched instantly, and she couldn't help but worry:

He had just been pulled into a separate small battlefield by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, but now he was lying on the ground engulfed in flames. Had he been defeated by the Captain-Commander?

Will Ah Yin be alright?

I hope I won't get killed by the Captain-Commander.

No!
