Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 606 Kimimaro's Mission Completed

"Hey! Talk to me."

Kimimaro stared expressionlessly at the falling machine.

The white bone sword in his hand fell and pierced through the machine.

Watching the flickering electric arcs above, he looked down at Ichigo Kurosaki and Tayuya, who were meeting up at the school below.

I tapped the earphone on my ear twice with my fingers.

A hissing sound rang out, followed by a sinister voice from inside.

"Is there something wrong with Kimimaro?"

Kimimaro's expression turned to one of worship and respect as he said, "Lord Orochimaru, I have found Tayuya."

"That's really fast."

Orochimaru's soft laughter came from inside.

"Bring her back."

"Grasp?"

Kimimaro was puzzled. Tayuya had only been out of contact for a short time, so why was she captured?

"Don't worry about so much, just bring her back. Remember, if anyone tries to stop you, don't kill them."

Orochimaru gave instructions.

Kimimaro did not understand the significance of doing this, but he did not ask any further questions.

He was abandoned by Kirigakure because of his blood disease, and he would have died long ago if Orochimaru hadn't appeared and saved him.

At the same time, his heart completely submitted to Orochimaru.

"I will carry out your orders."

"Wait a minute."

Orochimaru suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Wait a little longer. Now is not a good time. Bonds take time to form."

"And also, the teleporter was given to the obstructors."

"yes!"

Kimimaro responded with a single sentence.

Tayuya and Ichigo Kurosaki were unaware that danger was gradually approaching them.

As a candidate for the Root, he greatly attracted Orochimaru's interest.

As the days went by.

Kurosaki Ichigo's life was relatively peaceful.

"Peaceful my foot!!"

Kurosaki Ichigo's large sword instantly sliced ​​a Hollow in two.

The severed ethereal fragments vanished as specks of black light.

He landed on the ground, panting.

"Congratulations on another kill."

Tayuya clapped her hands and walked over.

"So why!?"

As Ichigo Kurosaki's black uniform came off, he looked at Tayuya with a puzzled expression.

"Why are these phantoms appearing so frequently now?"

Aside from this period, he hadn't seen Xu at all; now he sees him every day.

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly fell silent, a memory of a riverside flashing through his mind.

Perhaps we've encountered this before.

How would I know about your life?

Tayuya pursed her lips and looked at the people who were panicked by the sudden destruction.

These people may never know the existence of the Void until they die.

Suddenly her gaze turned to the alleyway in the distance.

He pulled a shuriken from his pouch and threw it into a dark corner.

Suddenly, a cane appeared from the alley and swiftly swung it, knocking all the swords away.

"This young lady is far too ruthless to attack a passerby."

Kisuke Urahara, dressed in green, emerged from the alley, his eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hat, looking at the two of them.

"What kind of passerby are you, spying on others?"

Tayuya and Ichigo Kurosaki immediately became alert and stared at the man who had appeared.

"Don't call me 'guy' or anything like that. Let me introduce myself. I'm Kisuke Urahara, the manager of a small shop that sells good stuff."

Kisuke Urahara's voice was tinged with laughter as he put away his folding fan, revealing a face full of smiles.

"That guy over there must be the Grim Reaper, right? I wonder what this lady's profession is?"

"grim Reaper?"

Ichigo Kurosaki scratched his head. He had heard Tayuya mention that it was a profession belonging to the Seireitei.

So is he like those Grim Reapers?

"The Ninth Military Academy of the Land of Shadows is staffed by many students."

Tayuya made no attempt to hide her identity and revealed it directly.

Although some information needs to be concealed, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging this identity.

"The Land of Shadows," Kisuke Urahara said with a look of sudden realization. "I've never heard of it before."

"Then what's with this sudden realization?"

Kurosaki Ichigo chimed in with his own comments.

Since meeting Tayuya, he feels like he's becoming more and more of a tsukkomi (straight man).

"Of course he couldn't possibly know."

Tayuya wasn't surprised that the other party hadn't heard of the Land of Shadows.

"A small place like this would have no way of knowing about the existence of the Land of Shadows."

"Throat? A small place." Kisuke Urahara looked at Tayuya with a smile. "Miss, are you referring to the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World as a small place?"

Tayuya suddenly realized what was happening and frowned at Kisuke Urahara: "Are you trying to trick me?"

They're really on guard.

Kisuke Urahara's smile remained unchanged: "I just want to expand the business of my little shop. After all, I'm quite ambitious and want to make my little shop bigger and stronger."

"I wonder if you two would be interested in visiting my little shop?"

"unnecessary."

Tayuya resolutely refused. She couldn't see through the man in front of her, and his inexplicable spying seemed suspicious to her.

She didn't believe a single word the other person said.

"That's a real shame."

Urahara Kisuke smiled.

"Then I won't disturb you two any longer."

He turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Tayuya's pupils turned a crimson hue.

The color of sight and hearing.

I was relieved to see that the other person had really left.

"Let's go."

On the other side, Kisuke Urahara stood in the sky, watching the two people leave.

If he hadn't deliberately revealed his presence, Duoyou wouldn't have been able to discover his whereabouts.

As for the person Tayuya saw leaving using his Observation Haki, it was just a small tool for him. After turning around, he used Shunpo to get into the sky.

"They're really not easy to approach."

"That guy is using spiritual pressure."

As they walked home, Tayuya spoke up.

"Spiritual pressure? The same as my power?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked curiously.

According to Tayuya, he also uses a power called spiritual pressure.

Tayuya shook her head, a proud look on her face.

"You're different from these guys who use spiritual pressure. Your bracers are the most cutting-edge products from the Land of Shadows. The spiritual pressure you can awaken is incomparable to these people."

"What's the difference?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked, puzzled.

Although I'm happy to know that my power is special, it's best to ask for clarification first.

"have no idea."

Tayuya said it bluntly.

"Then what's the point of saying this?!"

Ichigo Kurosaki felt that the biggest lesson he had learned during this period was that his temper had improved.

"I didn't develop this thing. The people in the Ninth Army are the ones who really know its secrets. I'd rather join the Tenth Army Combat Corps."

Tayuya had absolutely no interest in these scientific research products.

The ten schools of the Land of Shadows aren't limited to joining their respective military units.

She was aiming for the Tenth Army.

"In short, you just need to know that the wristband is much stronger than you expect."

Being a cutting-edge product isn't just talk.

Even some powerful Dharma Body cultivators are attracted to it.

Ichigo Kurosaki had already given up and complained.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a violent woman.

"Tayuya."

Suddenly a soft sound rang out.

Tayuya looked ahead and saw a boy in a black uniform with a fair complexion and two red dots on his forehead standing in front of her.

"Kimimaro, you've finally found me."

Tayuya looked at Kimimaro with a look of surprise and joy. This way, she could finally return to the Land of Shadows.

But she suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at the bone knife in Kimimaro's hand.

"What do you mean, Kimimaro?"

Tayuya's face darkened.

"By order of Lord Orochimaru, we are to arrest you and bring you back for questioning."

Kimimaro said in a cold voice.

"What crime have I committed?"

Tayuya questioned him with a grim expression, saying that even if he had given her the wristband, it was a reward for this internship and rightfully belonged to her.

She's never done anything else.

"Hey, Tayuya, your misuse of public resources has been discovered."

Kurosaki Ichigo grinned, and his black uniform appeared on his body.

Kimimaro merely gave Tayuya a cold look.

"You'll have to ask Lord Orochimaru about this."

"escape!!"

Tayuya took out her flute and looked at Kimimaro with a serious expression.

"He is a full-fledged sergeant in the Ninth Army; we can't defeat him."

The opponent entered the army as a top student; if he were just an ordinary soldier, he wouldn't be as threatening as Kimimaro.

The enemy soldiers were all squad leaders in the Ninth Army.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Ichigo Kurosaki ignored him completely and charged straight at Kimimaro.

"I don't have the habit of abandoning my companions and running away!!"

As he spoke, he swung his large sword at Kimimaro.

Kimimaro merely raised his hand and gripped the blade with one hand, causing his pupils to contract.

He didn't hold back at all.

"Commendable courage."

Kimimaro squeezed hard and crushed Kurosaki Ichigo's sword with a "crack".

"But it's a little weak."

Kimimaro jumped up and kicked Kurosaki Ichigo, the powerful force sending him flying.

"asshole!!"

Tayuya had already summoned the three demons and rushed over.

Kimimaro raised his hand.

Ten bones shot out from between his fingers in an instant, piercing through the bodies of the three demons and Tayuya.

With all four limbs and torso pierced, Tayuya's body fell limply to the ground.

It was a complete rout.

Kimimaro walked towards Tayuya.

"Damn it!! Don't come near Tayuya!!"

In the darkness, a broken knife fell rapidly from the high school.

Kimimaro tilted his body slightly, instantly dodging the opponent's blade.

"You've gotten stronger?"

He frowned as he looked at the astonished Ichigo Kurosaki. The power and speed of the opponent's sword had increased exponentially, and he dared not take it head-on.

But it didn't do anything.

The bone knife in his hand pierced through Ichigo Kurosaki's abdomen in an instant, and he punched Ichigo Kurosaki hard in the face, slamming him to the ground.

Kurosaki Ichigo coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Kimimaro walked up to him and threw a black stone in front of him.

"If you want to save Tayuya, then come to the Land of Shadows and die. Let's see if you dare."

Kurosaki Ichigo stared intently at Kimimaro, but his body gave way and he fainted.

Kimimaro then walked over to the heavily injured Tayuya and carried him on his shoulder.

It quickly disappeared after a few leaps and bounds ahead.

"Oh dear, is this internal strife in the Land of Shadows?"

Kisuke Urahara walked out of the shadows to the side of the unconscious Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Does a mere sergeant possess this level of capability?"

He looked down at the black stone, a solemn expression on his face.

"Things have gotten complicated."
