Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 609 New City Invaders

Ichigo Kurosaki was a little confused. They emerged from the darkness and found themselves in a small alley.

This is not the point.

The key point is...

Through the alley, you can see the tall buildings outside, which even surpass the bustling city of Karakura.

It's like suddenly arriving in a big city.

It was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Have we arrived in the Land of Shadows?"

Hiyori pointed at the tall buildings outside, looking completely bewildered. This kind of scene shouldn't be happening here.

He had assumed that the Land of Shadows was some kind of secretive force operating in some dark corner.

But how is it any different from the present world?

"Isn't this the present world? We've been transported here from the present world."

"If you want to know, why don't you just go out and see for yourself?"

Hirako Shinji stepped outside.

High-rise buildings line the roadside, traffic flows on the cement road, and various pedestrians hurry past on both sides of the road.

From humans to robots.

Many aircraft swept across the sky.

GG is playing on a large screen in the distance.

"Even big cities can't achieve this level of quality."

Ichigo Kurosaki looked up at the scene, which resembled a futuristic city.

Although Karakura Town is considered a small city, it's not like it doesn't know what a metropolis is like; at the very least, robots and flying machines are impossible there.

"Another world."

Urahara Kisuke's folding fan obscured his face, and the shadow of his hat covered his eyes.

His expression makes it impossible to guess what he's thinking.

This is easy to spot; their world doesn't have a place like this.

"Don't block the way!!"

A roar came from ahead, and a man over three meters tall with a thick beard was running wildly down the street carrying a shipping container. His height usually prevented him from bumping into anyone.

They were blocking other people's way.

Kurosaki Ichigo and his group quickly made way for them.

"I'm going to be late!!"

The black-bearded man roared and quickened his pace, disappearing from sight in no time.

For a moment, Ichigo Kurosaki didn't know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments). What kind of normal person could grow to three meters tall and carry a shipping container?

This is utterly absurd, even if you said it out loud!

"A very strong sense of threat."

Kensei Rokusha frowned as he looked at the charging black-bearded man.

"But I can't sense any spiritual pressure," said Rojuro Ootori, standing beside him.

This kind of intuitive feeling made them somewhat uncomfortable; they usually judged the strength of their opponents based on spiritual pressure.

Intuition is more about sensing danger during combat.

"This is really an interesting place."

Hirako Mako said with a smile.

"This is totally another world."

"Everyone, everyone." Kisuke Urahara raised his folding fan and waved it to attract everyone's attention. "Now, let's pair up and gather information about this place."

"Mr. Yoruichi, I'm entrusting Ichigo Kurosaki to you."

A black cat jumped onto Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder.

"I will take good care of him."

Kurosaki Ichigo waved his hand, turned around, and walked into the crowd.

The Masked Army also began to disperse.

Shinji Hirako and Kisuke Urahara vanished from their spot in a flash.

As Ichigo Kurosaki walked down the bustling streets, he thought the city was far too crowded compared to a small town like Karakura.

"What should we do?"

Looking at the bustling traffic on the street, he felt lost; he didn't know where to go.

"Just ask anyone."

Yoruichi suggested.

"After all, intelligence travels very quickly in a city like this."

Although it's unlikely to be any major intelligence, basic information is still useful.

Ichigo Kurosaki moved away from the crowd and walked to a street with fewer people.

I saw a middle-aged man with white hair who looked fairly kind walk over in the crowd.

"Excuse me, sir, do you know Orochimaru?"

Hatake Sakumo: "???"

Nowadays, who in the Land of Shadows doesn't know Orochimaru? He is a crucial scientist in the Land of Shadows' continuous development.

Looking Kurosaki Ichigo up and down, he seemed familiar.

"Orochimaru, he's the commander of the Ninth Army, the most famous scientist in the Land of Shadows, he has quite a few titles."

Compared to other legion commanders.

Orochimaru's name is known to everyone; the title of chief scientist of the Land of Shadows is not just for show.

"So where could he be?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked hurriedly.

"The Ninth Army's base is in an empty city. You can get there by taking plane number 11 from the new city. He should be there now."

There is some uncertainty regarding Hatake Shomo.

After all, everyone is waiting for the development of that origin planet and for an opportunity to intervene in that planet.

However, the more he looked at the boy, the more familiar he seemed with the Origin Star.

Isn't this the candidate for the Spirit King?

"Which direction exactly?"

Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head awkwardly. It seemed that taking those modes of transportation might not be as fast as moving himself.

"perhaps.."

Hatake Sakushige thought for a moment and pointed to the distant sky.

"Above that place."

"Thank you, sir."

Kurosaki Ichigo ran quickly toward the empty city.

Yoruichi, the black cat on Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder, glanced at Sakumo Hatake.

She sensed a deadly threat from this smiling man.

Hatake Sukeshige watched Kurosaki Ichigo leave, stroking his chin.

"The Root's successor has appeared in the Land of Shadows? What is Orochimaru up to?"

Orochimaru spends his days hiding in the lab, looking rather gloomy, and I don't know what he's doing.

Is this guy planning to dissect Ichigo Kurosaki?

After all, it is above the Six Paths.

That's the root cause.

"What do we do next?"

Hirako Shinji's body was suspended upside down in mid-air, looking down at the entire new city from the highest point.

They didn't come here for Ichigo Kurosaki to save his girlfriend.

Their true purpose is to investigate the Land of Shadows.

People from the Land of Shadows have appeared all over the world, so the Visoreds naturally know about it.

They are bound to be very wary of this newly emerging force.

"Mr. Mako, please don't be in such a hurry."

Standing in mid-air, Urahara Kisuke was holding a newspaper and showing its contents to Hirako Shinji.

"Don't you feel that the world is just too big?"

Shinji Hirako's gaze fell upon the contents of the newspaper.

The Akatsuki organization established the Akatsuki System Trading Company, and the five major ninja stars and the Land of Shadows simultaneously established trading shops within the Akatsuki System Trading Company.

[The Shadow Kingdom's currency is now in circulation in interstellar space.]

It is reported that the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure failed in his attempt to reach the Six Paths realm.

"interstellar?"

Shinji Hirako opened his mouth wide in an exaggerated manner.

"Really?"

Shouldn't that kind of thing be an illusion?

The stars in their world are an illusion, something they can never truly touch.

This is something all the Death Captains know.

"The world is much bigger than we are."

Kisuke Urahara pulled his hat down, obscuring his face in shadow.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Kisuke Urahara."

Shinji Hirako smiled, but his eyes were cold as he looked at Kisuke Urahara.

"I hope you don't become the new Inize."

"Otherwise I will kill you."

"Oh dear." Kisuke Urahara covered his face with his folding fan and said with a grin, "Captain Mako, what are you talking about? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"You are one of Aizen's kind, Captain Urahara."

Hirako Mako also laughed.

The joyful expressions on their faces concealed a hidden murderous intent.

He didn't want another Aizen to appear.

Shinji Hirako already had his Zanpakuto in his hand.

"Mr. Mako, don't worry, I don't have that kind of thinking."

Kisuke Urahara was still smiling, and he didn't turn his cane into a Zanpakuto.

This also indicates that there is no intention to start a war.

"That would be perfect, I don't want to lose you as a friend."

Shinji Hirako's face still held a bright smile.

"So, firstly, what is our main objective now?"

"library."

"Huh!!?"

Shinji Hirako looked at Kisuke Urahara with a bewildered expression. Shouldn't they have arrested someone at this point and then questioned him for more information later?

What the hell is a library?

"Oh dear, it seems Mr. Hirako isn't exactly a good student either."

Kisuke Urahara said with a smile.

"This isn't the Soul Society, where the true history is hidden. In such a vast world, there's no point in hiding it."

Just like in the present world, most of the things that happened in the past are written in books.

This is the fastest way for them to understand the world.

Just as Hirako Shinji was about to say something...

"Announcement, announcement, announcement."

A sinister voice suddenly rang out.

The two of them looked at the loudspeakers on the wall and the utility poles.

"The new city of the Land of Shadows is now under enemy invasion. All civilians are urged to return to their homes for refuge. All entertainment facilities will be closed soon. The new city is now on full alert."

"Now describe what the nine invaders look like."

"Oh dear, we were discovered so quickly?"

Kisuke Urahara looked troubled. They had originally planned to sneak in quietly, but they hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly.

"Is it that teleportation stone?"

"Or is the city itself under surveillance?"

Kisuke Urahara's sharp eyes swept across the sky as he watched the wild geese fly by. His cane transformed into a Zanpakuto, which he slashed at the distant geese.

The crimson slash instantly cleaved it completely in two.

"Did you notice?"

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"He's quite the perceptive man."

He has lost track of Kisuke Urahara and Shinji Hirako.

However, this alone is not enough to escape his surveillance.

In the entire city, every living thing except people is his eyes.

The two figures appeared on another screen.

"And at this time, you won't be allowed to explore anything in peace."

Now everyone in the city has quickly returned home, and the defenses of the entire new city have been quietly opened.

Everyone in the city has entered another space.

especially.
