Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 698 The End of the Bleach World (The End of the Volume!)

Ichigo Kurosaki had never experienced such a predicament.

Even Ulquiorra and Nellyl, whom Naraku encountered in Hueco Mundo, were like fireflies compared to the blazing moon and the radiant sun...

His ethereal state was shattered with a single strike!

The skull mask on Ichigo Kurosaki's face slowly shattered and fell to the ground, revealing an incredulous face. The young Shinigami was only slightly flustered for a second before his determination returned to his face!

The spiritual pressure surged once again!

Kurosaki Ichigo slammed Zangetsu into the ground!

The surging spiritual pressure transformed into streaks of purple lightning that flashed continuously on his body, and an even larger ethereal mask slowly emerged from his head!

A bizarre bull-headed Hollow mask covered Ichigo Kurosaki's head, but that wasn't enough. Pale white skulls slowly appeared on Ichigo's body, transforming into armor to defend against enemy attacks!

The skeleton continues to spread…

Kurosaki Ichigo's hands and feet were gradually surrounded by the skeleton, turning into white claws, with purple lightning constantly flashing in his palms and the soles of his feet!

The current Ichigo Kurosaki...

Compared to humans and Shinigami, it's more like a pure Hollow!

The entire world may never have seen a Hollow with such terrifying spiritual pressure as Ichigo Kurosaki. Perhaps this has already surpassed the limits of the Vasto Lorde class, and even the strongest to date, Koyatai Stark, is far inferior!

Kurosaki Ichigo…

It has evolved once again!

Ichigo Kurosaki has now completely evolved into a Hollow of a higher level, and even the Zangetsu he holds tightly is now covered with a layer of white skeletal armor!

The current Ichigo Kurosaki is far more evolved than when he became a Hollowfied Hollow. He was even awakened by Yhwach due to the Quincy power within him, and he can forcibly maintain his sanity by balancing the spiritual pressure of the Shinigami and Quincy within him...

Ichigo Kurosaki's voice came from within the bull-headed skull mask, his voice somewhat muffled: "This Hollowfication state is too powerful; even I find it difficult to control, and it can only last for less than five minutes..."

"Don't worry."

Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, raised the black sword in his hand and pointed it at Kurosaki Ichigo in his Hollowfied form, chuckled lightly: "If that's all the power you have, you won't last five minutes against me..."

There's no need for Kurosaki Ichigo to worry about the duration of his battle state, because even in this state, Kurosaki Ichigo is no match for him!

"Hey, feeding him... that's going way too far!"

Ichigo Kurosaki felt like he was completely out of sorts!

That might indeed be the case…

But Uehara Naraku's words were quite a blow to him. He wasn't actually that bad now!

"Don't waste our time..."

The ground beneath Uehara Naraku's feet shattered instantly!

Uehara Naraku used the momentum to leap into the air, and the impact of his rapid movement instantly created a strong wind, forcing Kurosaki Ichigo to instinctively reach out and shield himself from the strong wind!

next moment…

Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly realized what was happening and abruptly raised his skeletal weapon, Zangetsu, to desperately block Uehara Naraku's charge!

Click...

The sound of bones shattering was especially crisp!

Having withstood Uehara Naraku's attack, Kurosaki Ichigo already saw a gap appear in the bone armor attached to his Zanpakuto!

Lightning formed from spiritual pressure swirled around the two of them!

Uehara Naraku brandished his black sword, slashing at the Hollow's body like a swordsman!

At this moment, the black blade in Uehara's hand, gleaming with sharpness, transformed into countless black shadows under his swordsmanship, attacking the body of the Hollow!

Click...

Click, click…

The sound of bones cracking continued...

The tremors in Ichigo Kurosaki's heart almost never stopped!

Under the attack of the black sword, the skeletal armor on Zangetsu in Kurosaki Ichigo's hand was already cut to pieces while merely resisting the attack, with bone fragments flying everywhere... Even the skull defense on Kurosaki Ichigo's body had dozens of bones severed!

The sound of the black blade striking bone was especially dull!

Uehara Naraku's repeated attacks forced Kurosaki Ichigo to retreat step by step!

Kurosaki Ichigo's mind went completely blank. Even though he had entered his strongest state, he couldn't even defend himself against Uehara Naraku's swordsmanship!

Click!

The skeletal armor on Zangetsu was finally shattered by Uehara Naraku's single strike!

In his Hollow form, Ichigo gripped Zangetsu tightly, but was sent flying by the immense force of the final strike!

As Ichigo Kurosaki was sent flying backward, he suddenly raised his head, and the bull horns on his head instantly emitted wisps of spiritual pressure, transforming into a red Cero that shot towards Naraku Uehara!

The oppressive power of this Cero is immense…

No one in the entire Arrancar army can match him!

Kurosaki Ichigo was confident that no one could withstand this Cero attack!

Clang!

That's the sound of a Zanpakuto being stuck into a stone slab!

Within Ichigo Kurosaki's line of sight, he saw Naraku Uehara plunge his sword into the stone slab, then turn and kick the Cero!

With just one kick, he sent the Cero flying back at him!

"Are you kidding me!"

Hidden beneath the bull-head mask, Ichigo Kurosaki was utterly astonished!

Even though he knew that there were indeed people in this world who could easily withstand Cero, the Cero that Uehara Naraku withstood must be the strongest one in this world!

This Cero also exhausted the Hollow White power within Ichigo Kurosaki!

So easily kicked back like that?

The Cero, kicked back, struck the Hollow Menace directly, and the explosion instantly engulfed Ichigo Kurosaki's body, shattering his skull defenses in an instant!

Only after the explosion completely subsided did Ichigo Kurosaki emerge from the smoke, disheveled, slowly picking the bone fragments from his head. His skull defenses were completely shattered, and his Hollowfication Mask had also crumbled into pieces…

Kurosaki Ichigo exhaled a mouthful of sand, reached up to wipe a wound on his forehead, and shook his head to dispel the dizziness.

In his heart…

There was a faint sense of despair.

Even in its strongest battle form, Hollowfied Minotaur was utterly defeated by Uehara Naraku in less than ten seconds, unable even to mount a counterattack…

Inside Ichigo Kurosaki's body.

"Hehehe... It's going to be hard to win against an enemy like this..."

Just when Ichigo Kurosaki was in despair, the Hollow within him suddenly chuckled softly, drawing Ichigo's attention into it.

Within Ichigo Kurosaki's body, Hollow White's voice was somewhat weak, and he grinned as he said, "That's someone who easily defeated that old man Yamamoto Shigekuni, defeated that sir Aizen Sousuke, and even Yhwach didn't dare to show himself..."

"Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned.

Xu Bai slowly nodded, grinning and chuckling softly, "If you ask me... waiting to die is indeed the best option!"

But after saying that, Xu Bai suddenly added, "However... although your chances of winning are extremely slim... it's not too difficult to lose without looking too bad..."

"Three different powers exist within you..."

"Now, with the help of that old man Yhwach, you've distinguished these three forces, and you have all the answers in your hands..."

"What needs to be done next..."

"It's like I'm lending you all my spiritual pressure..."

Hollow White clenched his fist tightly, a wide grin spreading across his face. His voice suddenly turned cruel: "Find a way to extract all the power of the Shinigami and Quincy from your Zanpakuto, from your blood!"

"Before that..."

"Let me help you one last time, kid!"

After saying that...

The pale body gradually turned into liquid...

Starting from its feet, stopping its upper body, its body slowly turned into a liquid, transforming into a white Zanpakuto!

Because of its spiritual pressure…

He was completely exhausted by Ichigo Kurosaki in the battle just now!

The current Hollow White has no power to continue participating in this battle. The only thing it can do at this moment is to transform its body into a Zanpakuto!

"You didn't even think about winning?"

"It's rare to see this arrogant guy so cowardly..."

"However, the hope of victory is indeed very slim..."

As Hollow White's body transformed into a white Zangetsu Zanpakuto, another black Zangetsu Zanpakuto appeared in Ichigo Kurosaki's soul space, its voice somewhat muffled.

The white Zangetsu represents the power of Hollows, while the black Zangetsu represents the power of Shinigami (Death Gods). Clearly, the black Zangetsu's personality isn't exactly stellar either…

"What?"

Ichigo Kurosaki hesitated before raising his head.

"Cowardly brat..."

The black Zangetsu gradually dissolved into a liquid, landing beside Ichigo Kurosaki: "As long as you're not dead, it's not time to admit defeat... Now I ask you, what price are you willing to pay for that invincible man outside?"

"..."

Ichigo Kurosaki fell silent.

After a long silence, Kurosaki Ichigo slowly raised his head, his voice heavy: "I don't know... but I promised Uehara Naraku that I would fight alongside him until I die..."

"What is your purpose in fighting?"

"I have no idea."

"I don't know what the world he rules will become..."

"The world isn't all that great right now, but it's not all that bad either..."

Ichigo Kurosaki slowly lowered his head, then suddenly raised it again, declaring firmly, "Now I must fight him until one of us falls completely!"

As for who actually fell...

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't really care.

It's like the feeling is that if you can beat Uehara Naraku, that would be a blessing; if you can't, then you'll see what kind of world Uehara Naraku turns the world into...

to be honest…

Ichigo Kurosaki was indeed a little confused.

Because Uehara Naraku is supposed to be a villain, but he doesn't seem to have done anything really bad to them, and seriously, he hasn't harmed them at all...

But if you say that Uehara Naraku is a positive character... the entire Soul Society would probably disagree!

"A lost young man..."

The black Zangetsu transformed into a wisp of mist and slowly merged into Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder. Its voice gradually turned cold: "If you can't find meaning in the fight, then remember this moment... From now on, defeat every powerful enemy before you!"

Kurosaki Ichigo remained silent for a long time before slowly reaching out and grasping the two Zanpakuto. The moment he held them, he immediately understood everything!

After a long while.

Kurosaki Ichigo slowly nodded.

Inside the Lingwang Palace.

Ichigo Kurosaki stood still with his eyes closed.

However, his injuries were healing rapidly. Black mist and liquid swirled around his right arm, while white mist and liquid swirled around his left arm!

That is…

The power of Black Zangetsu and White Zangetsu!

The next moment, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light shining directly at Uehara Naraku, and his figure vanished from the spot!

The final battle...

It's finally open!

In addition to using his Shinigami and Hollow powers, Kurosaki Ichigo also used the Quincy abilities within him, unconsciously using the Bloodstained Armor to enhance his combat capabilities!

Kurosaki Ichigo's body appeared in front of Uehara Naraku almost instantly, and the black mist on his left arm transformed into a long, narrow blade, slashing towards Uehara Naraku's chest!

"Air Rift Flash!"

"Um?"

Uehara Naraku casually drew his black sword to defend himself.

However, the black knife in his hand was severed in an instant!

Kurosaki Ichigo's attack, the Sky Frenzy Flash, struck Uehara Naraku heavily, instantly sending him flying!

The entire battlefield was in an uproar!

Surprise was evident on everyone's face!

Everyone saw Uehara Naraku's body fly backward, turning into a meteor that crashed directly into the spatial barrier of the Spirit King Palace, shattering it!

Are you kidding me!

How could Ichigo Kurosaki possibly possess such power!

This kid actually cheated in front of so many people?

To be honest, even though Uehara Naraku often praised Kurosaki Ichigo without reservation, not many people present believed that Kurosaki Ichigo could defeat Uehara Naraku. But it turned out that Kurosaki Ichigo actually had the potential to defeat Uehara Naraku!

In an instant, Uehara Naraku's figure returned to the battlefield!

That spatial rift flash was indeed very powerful, but the fact that it didn't injure him at all is a question that has brought people back to their senses...

Aside from rule-based abilities, so far no one has been able to harm Uehara Naraku in terms of sheer power.

"Winning is really tough..."

Kurosaki Ichigo's face was full of determination. His body instantly charged towards Uehara Naraku again, and the weapon in his left hand transformed into a white Zangetsu, slashing towards Uehara Naraku's body!

"Yeah, it's really hard to lose..."

Uehara Naraku chuckled and reached out to grab the white Zangetsu!

The two bodies were thrown backward by inertia and fell to the ground in a sorry state!

Bang!

Uehara Naraku punched Kurosaki Ichigo on the head, sending him flying. He then instantly caught up and kicked Kurosaki Ichigo in the chest!

Kurosaki Ichigo was thrown straight away!

The next moment, Ichigo Kurosaki instantly got up, and the two engaged in another life-or-death battle, only this time the fighting was even more intense!

The shockwave from each punch!

Every slash unleashed!

They all made it impossible for anyone to approach them easily!

The spatial barrier of the entire Spirit King Palace was on the verge of collapse under their battle. No one had expected that the battle would escalate to such an intense level!

It's just that everyone can see it...

Ichigo Kurosaki remains at a huge disadvantage...

Although every time Uehara Naraku draws his Zanpakuto, it is cut in two by Kurosaki Ichigo, Ichigo suffers a severe injury each time he cuts Uehara's Zanpakuto...

And Uehara Naraku…

Still as composed as ever!

until…

Covered in blood, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly stood up, letting out a suppressed roar, and slashed at Uehara Naraku with his sword!

"Crescent Moon Anecho!"

This Crescent Moon Sky Strike is completely different from the past!

The massive black blade of light blotted out the sky, as if it would sever the entire space of the Spirit King Palace. This Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike contained all the power within Kurosaki Ichigo!

No matter who it is...

Everyone was amazed by this Crescent Moon Sky Strike!

Uehara Naraku raised his palm, and a black light extended from his arm, desperately blocking the Crescent Moon Strike. The sharpness and force of the Crescent Moon Strike were getting closer and closer, almost cutting off the hair on his forehead!

"Is this the final Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike?"

Uehara Naraku slightly raised his head, and a few strands of his bangs were finally cut off by the sharp edge of Getsuga Tenchō. Instantly, a vast spiritual pressure erupted from his body, causing the entire world to tremble!

The space of the Spirit King's Palace was on the verge of collapse...

Whether it was the Soul King's Palace, the Soul Society, the Human World, the Dangai, Hell, Hueco Mundo... everyone with spiritual power felt a vast and ethereal spiritual pressure!

"This guy has gotten stronger again..."

Madara Uchiha's expression also turned somewhat serious.

Every time Madara Uchiha thought he had become stronger and could catch up with Naraku Uehara, Naraku Uehara would appear in an even more terrifying form...

Oh shit…

When will this pursuit ever end?

"You're kidding, right..."

Kurosaki Ichigo's vision went black.

This strike was his final Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike!

However, Uehara Naraku caught it with his bare hands, which was rather disappointing. But it's not a big deal, is it?

A look of relief flashed across Ichigo Kurosaki's face. This was his strongest strike. After this strike, the power of the Shinigami and the Hollow within him had been exhausted, and his body, which contained the bloodline of the Quincy, was extremely weak...

Within the realm of shadows.

Yhwach's expression was unusually unpleasant.

If we look at it alone, the intensity of this spiritual pressure is almost superior to that of the Spirit King back then. How could such a being exist!

Unless... the Spirit King's spiritual pressure... was also absorbed by that guy!

In that case...

Who could possibly beat that guy!

While Yhwach was still deep in thought in the Shadow Realm, he saw Uehara Naraku crush the Crescent Moon Heavenly Slash with his bare hands, and then slowly raise his own palm...

this moment…

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Yhwach's heart!

However, even he, who was omniscient and omnipotent, could not deduce the source of this crisis. He could only hastily summon the members of his invisible empire to prepare for battle.

"Was that the final Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike?"

Uehara Naraku walked step by step to Kurosaki Ichigo's side, softly praised him, and then suddenly raised his palm towards the sky: "Perhaps no one in the entire Soul Society is better than you. As a sign of respect, I will also use my strongest move..."

"..."

Ichigo Kurosaki's expression was somewhat strange.

He has exhausted all his power!

Even when his power was at its strongest, he couldn't withstand Uehara Naraku's attack, so how could he possibly withstand Uehara Naraku's strongest move!

"Black hole..."

Uehara Naraku raised his palm, and the entire Spirit King Palace seemed to plunge into darkness in an instant, only to be restored to light in a flash!

This is his act of bringing the entire world of Death into the black hole universe.

Madara Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi, and the others already knew about this, and everyone felt a slight sense of relief, which also meant that their mission was over.

but…

Uehara Naraku's actions were not yet over.

"Annihilation..."

Uehara Naraku's gaze suddenly fell on a shadowy area, and a jet-black energy suddenly pierced into the shadow realm, completely annihilating the invisible empire hidden within!

The terrifying aspect of this black hole annihilation attack...

It surpasses even Ichigo Kurosaki's final Getsuga Tenshou!

Every Shinigami and Arrancar Hollow could not hide the horror on their faces, and even Aizen Sousuke, Urahara Kisuke, and Yamamoto Shigekuni were visibly shocked!

Although they didn't know the effect of this attack, it was clear that Yhwach in the Shadow Realm was probably not feeling well...

perhaps…

It's possible they've already been eliminated.

This war can now be declared over.

The Gotei 13 and Ichigo Kurosaki have been utterly defeated, but having witnessed the terrifying power within Uehara Naraku, they are not too disappointed...

Moreover, Uehara Naraku, as the victor, did not seem to have any intention of executing prisoners and the defeated, and even ordered his subordinates to help treat the wounded.

"Lord Uehara Naraku..."

Jushiro Ukitake stepped forward, clutching his wounded chest, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do with us? And what about the Soul King...?"

"The Spirit King's body collapsed on its own when he saw me."

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "This world no longer needs the Soul King to maintain stability. If that guy wants to live the life of an ordinary person, let him... As for what to do with you... Kabuto?"

Faced with this situation, Uehara Naraku still chose to believe Kabuto.

Kabuto nodded, stepped forward, and calmly began to announce the various rules of the Akatsuki organization from other worlds.

It's just that the world of Bleach is relatively more complex.

The Gotei 13 of Soul Society and the Arrancar army of Hueco Mundo will form an alliance, each responsible for guiding their respective souls and Hollows. They must not interfere with each other's actions or disrupt the stability of the human world, etc.

These…

The pharmacist was very familiar with it.

Moreover, Gin Ichimaru and others were also helping out.

When Kabuto Yakushi finished dealing with everything and reported to Naraku Uehara, he noticed Naraku's absent-minded expression and felt a slight pang in his heart.

"Lord Naraku..."

Kabuto Yakushi knelt on one knee like a ninja, a move he had never made before, which surprised even Uehara Naraku.

"What's wrong?"

Their interactions were never formal or informal.

Kabuto slowly raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, but a layer of mist clouded his eyes: "Lord Naraku's power has grown stronger and stronger... This time, please allow me to stay here..."

In the past…

Kabuto could still sense the difference between them, but now he felt the vast difference between himself and Uehara Naraku.

Although it was bound to happen sooner or later...

However, after being taken into a black hole by Uehara Naraku in the Bleach world, Kabuto Yakushi realized that he could no longer keep up with Uehara Naraku's pace.

"All right…"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Yakushi Kabuto, then at Shutara Senjumaru, who was secretly observing Yakushi Kabuto, and his lips twitched involuntarily: "I understand... I wish you happiness."

The next world, Marvel?

The main reason is that Marvel is easy to write about; the outline is easy to create, and the update frequency can keep up!
