Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 603 The Beginning of the Bleach Arc

As dusk falls, the once bright light has dimmed considerably.

At street corners and alleyways.

The boy, newly dressed in his school uniform, is walking down the road.

His name is Kurosaki Ichigo, and he is fifteen years old.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who has just entered his first year of high school, also has his own troubles.

It wasn't those teenage anxieties; he felt those things were still far removed from him.

He turned his head and said.

"Hey sir, could you please stop following me?"

A ghost was following him.

A bespectacled ghost was following him; he was used to such things.

After all, for someone who has been able to see ghosts since childhood...

This kind of thing is perfectly normal.

Although I've gotten used to the presence of ghosts, it's still quite frustrating to be constantly haunted by them.

"I just want you to help me send a message to my family."

The transparent-looking man said somewhat awkwardly.

After all, a person who can communicate with one's soul is ultimately a minority.

He still has many wishes to fulfill.

"Uncle, it's best if the deceased doesn't disturb the living."

Ghosts exist because Ichigo Kurosaki can see them, and he has to accept this fact.

But for others, it was ethereal and unseen; they couldn't even see the ghost, so naturally they were skeptical and disbelieving.

He had tried to help those ghosts before, but the results were not very good.

And sometimes, the worst outcome can occur.

It's best for the living and the dead to have no contact.

He has given up on helping the ghost.

Uncle Ghost sighed.

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two loud noises caught the attention of both a person and a ghost.

As dusk fell, a red-haired girl in a black uniform was walking towards the two of them on the street ahead.

That's not the key point.

The key point is...

"What is that thing?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at the monsters chasing the girl. Four strangely shaped monsters, all wearing bone masks, were closely pursuing her.

The ghost uncle silently retreated, his figure slowly disappearing.

Actually, he didn't really want to disturb the people who were alive.

A shadow suddenly loomed over the girl.

Ichigo Kurosaki turned his head and saw a monster rushing down from the sky.

"Be careful!"

Ichigo Kurosaki spoke up to remind him.

A giant monster brought its claw down from the sky.

The girl, alerted, quickly jumped up, dodging the charging monster, and landed on the ground, about to change direction.

"The smell of spiritual energy."

Unexpectedly, a group of monsters changed direction and rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo.

Kurosaki Ichigo turned around and tried to escape.

He had no desire to test whether he could defeat such a massive monster.

However, his speed was ultimately a bit slower.

A winged monster flapped its wings and rushed toward him, reaching out its claws to grab him.

The girl's expression changed, and she stomped heavily on the ground.

shave!

In a flash, he appeared beside Ichigo Kurosaki, grabbed his collar, and quickly fled forward.

Five monsters were hot on their heels.

According to his original destiny, Kurosaki Ichigo, who possesses a special physique, should have met a girl with an onion head some time later and embarked on his path to becoming the protagonist.

But at this moment.

His protagonist's fate went astray.

The two of them huddled against the corner of the alleyway wall, barely managing to shake off the five monsters.

Night gradually fell.

"What on earth is that thing!?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked in a panic.

Why are there such strange things in the city?

The girl gave him a strange look.

"Fallen soul, Void, don't you know?"

"How would I know? I've never seen a monster like that before."

Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head, looking somewhat exasperated.

He felt like he had stumbled upon something incredible.

"You can clearly see souls, yet you don't know they're illusions. You really live in a safe environment."

The red-haired girl pursed her lips and cautiously peeked outside.

Several phantoms were seen searching for something.

"This kind of thing is extremely rare, and who are you?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the black uniform worn by the red-haired girl, which looked just like a military uniform, except that she was wearing a black outer garment over it.

There was also a large "预" (predicted) character behind him.

"The Ninth School Reserve Army of the Land of Shadows, Tayuya."

As the Land of Shadows developed, the schools, which were originally part of the various legions, became increasingly formalized.

These have now become prestigious universities that everyone is desperate to get into.

And among these nine schools, once you graduate, you can freely enter any of the nine legions.

"Is there such a school as the Ninth School of the Land of Shadows?"

Ichigo Kurosaki searched through all his memories but couldn't find the school's existence.

Tayuya glanced at him.

"The Land of Shadows is a country, and my school is called the Ninth School."

"Never heard of it before!!"

Isn't the world just the country he lives in?

Where did the Land of Shadows come from?

"And what should we do with that monster?"

Ichigo Kurosaki stood in the alley, unable to see what was happening outside, but he heard continuous "boom" sounds of destruction.

If we let them continue to destroy things like this, won't the whole city be ruined?

"Can you please stop nagging like that, you're acting like a woman."

Tayuya couldn't help but roar at Kurosaki Ichigo.

She's here for an internship, not to work as a nanny. How can we know how to deal with her?

This jerk kept whining and complaining, and Tayu, who already had a bad temper, didn't want to put up with it.

"Don't talk nonsense about me, the victim you dragged into this, you violent woman!!"

Ichigo Kurosaki was not to be outdone.

Say it again.

Tayuya's forehead veins were faintly bulging.

"A violent woman!"

Ichigo Kurosaki isn't exactly known for his good temper either.

After all, he knew nothing about the Hollow, this was the first time he had seen one, and Tayuya in front of him was also very suspicious.

"I'll kill you!!"

Tayuya took out her flute, intending to resolve the matter directly through violence.

"We've found you."

A huge masked head popped out from the side.

The figure of the five-headed Void appeared beside them.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of fighting?"

Tayu had no interest in arguing with Kurosaki Ichigo anymore; preserving her life was the priority at this point.

"I should be able to try and stop one."

Kurosaki Ichigo twisted his wrist. Although the chances of winning were slim, he had to give it a try.

"It seems you're not afraid."

Tayuya glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo. If that was the case, it would be easy to handle. She took out a black iron wristband from her waist pouch and tossed it to Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Bring it with you; it will give you some strength, at least some chance of winning."

If illusions weren't unaffected by these things here, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Aside from some special illusions, most illusions require the target to also possess chakra in order to be used.

"What is this?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at his wrist, and he could even see a fleeting glint of light on it.

"Stop talking nonsense, take him with you, and you'll have some fighting power too."

"Spiritual communication!"

As the smoke billowed out, three enormous figures, even more ferocious than Hollows, appeared in front of Tayuya.

Spiritual communication! Three ghosts!

One of the ghosts had long hair that covered its face and was holding a stick in its hand.

The two demons were naked from the waist up, their eyes covered by bandages.

The three ghosts were wrapped in bandages all over their bodies, but they had no arms.

Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at the Hollow charging towards him, then at the three demons in front of his teammate.

For a moment, he couldn't tell who the criminal gang was.

These three look even more terrifying than Xu.

A demon stood in front of Tayuya, and a staff hanging from the Hollow's arm sent him flying.

The two and three ghosts vanished from their original spots at the same time, blocking the two voids.

Tayuya, holding her flute, rushed forward and quickly intercepted a Hollow.

But one of the Hollows still charged toward Ichigo Kurosaki.

Kurosaki Ichigo frantically grabbed his wrist and put it on his hand.

A layer of dust billowed up and enveloped him.

"I've got you."

Xu reached directly into the smoke.

"Bang!!"

Xu looked at the smoke in front of him with suspicion, and suddenly felt a collision on his claws.

A sudden gust of air appeared and dispersed the smoke.

A large sword, as big as a door panel, blocked the void's claw attack.

"Yo!"

Kurosaki Ichigo greeted the Hollow, having changed into a black uniform similar to Tayuya's, except he was wearing a black overcoat that reached his feet.

He forcefully lifted the knife and pried open its claws.

The figure appeared almost instantly behind Xu.

Xu tilted his head, and a knife mark suddenly appeared on his body from top to bottom, instantly splitting his body into two parts, which slowly disappeared from the spot.

Tayuya, who was trying to stop him, saw Ichigo Kurosaki's power.

"So strong."

That wrist is the latest research product of the Land of Shadows. Its true function is not chakra, but another system, a power called spiritual energy.

However, due to her lack of understanding of spiritual power, Tayuya did not choose this spiritual power system.

As for the ability to see ghosts.

This is a unique feature of this planet; souls are no longer ethereal and can be seen simply by guiding chakra into the eyes.

Chakra can also cause damage to it.

But she never expected that the young man in front of her would have such great strength so soon after awakening his spiritual power.

Tayuya's body was knocked back by the Hollow's powerful force, and she flipped backward into the air before landing on the ground.

Kurosaki Ichigo flashed to the side of Tayuya Hollow who had just defeated him.

He swung his broadsword in an instant, cleaving it in two.

The three demons were now pressing down on the three heads with feigned attacks.

One of the ghosts was repeatedly beating the void's body with a large club in its hand.

The two demons quickly tore their opponent apart.

The three demons relied entirely on ramming, and for a time they fought fiercely and evenly matched.

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't stop. He quickly rushed towards the three demons' opponent and killed him with a single slash from behind.

At that moment, the demon also killed the void with a single blow.

All five Hollow heads disappeared.

Ichigo Kurosaki stood in front of Tayuya.

Tayuya canceled the summoning technique and sent the three demons away.

"So could you explain this to me?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Tayuya and asked her a question.

Tayuya shrugged helplessly.

Actually, I don't know much either.
