Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Hado 11: Lightning Bolt!

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of brilliant golden lightning erupted from Naraku's body, instantly changing the color of the two of them.

The crackling lightning engulfed the two figures, and the intense paralysis on their nerves froze them in place.

As is well known, the vast majority of Grim Reapers are typically high in attack but low in defense.

This is especially true of Death, the Grim Reaper who is an assassin.

The suicidal attack sent both men crashing to the ground.

Unlike ordinary Shinigami, Naraku Sora is significantly more resilient and has a stronger recovery ability due to his fusion with Hollow power.

Even though they both took a full-power bolt of lightning head-on, before the assassins could even recover, Naraku had already struggled to his feet and reached for his Zanpakuto.

But just as he was about to draw his sword and finish him off, the other person disappeared from his sight.

A sharp gust of wind swept in from behind me again.

Naraku Sora dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the hand strike, and just then saw the assassin's head right in front of him.

So, without thinking, he launched a rocket headbutt at it.

boom!

A dull thud resounded, their heads throbbed, and the two staggered to the ground once more, unable to get up again.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."

A girl's clear voice came from beneath the black mask, "This is the first time I've seen a Grim Reaper fight like this."

"Who taught you to use lightning like that?"

As she spoke, the girl removed her head covering and mask, revealing short, neat purple hair and a striking contrast between her golden pupils and brown skin.

Her beautiful face was full of curiosity.

The red mark on his forehead, however, seemed somewhat out of place.

"Self-taught".

Naraku grinned and plopped down on the ground, completely disregarding his image.

I'm exhausted.

No wonder the bad woman didn't appear from the start of the battle until the end; it turns out she had already figured out the assassin's identity.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Yoruichi Shihōin."

Yoruichi Shihouin came over and sat down next to Naraku Sora without any hesitation, extending her small hand.

"You don't seem surprised at all that you were assassinated."

Naraku Sora gently squeezed his hand and explained, "The Araki family doesn't seem like the kind of nobles who are magnanimous, especially since both Araki Shin and Araki Hideto fell into the hands of one person."

"It would be strange if they didn't use some tricks."

"However, I am curious, why didn't you kill him just now?"

Yoruichi Shihōin grinned:

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's because I can't stand those guys either."

"However, as a member of the Covert Force, since I have accepted the mission, I must carry it out."

"The Araki family paid a full half of the deposit."

Naraku Sora glanced at her with some surprise. He hadn't expected that Yoruichi Shihouin, the future captain of the Second Division and leader of the Onmitsukido, would be such a person with no professional ethics.

"Hey kid, you do things just my way."

Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly nudged Naraku Sora beside her with her elbow and grinned:

"How about joining the Second Division and becoming my vice-captain?"

Chapter 21 Don't Lose in Expression

"With your talent and strength, plus my full support, we will make the Second Division bigger and stronger, and create new glories."

Yoruichi squinted her eyes, like a wicked cat lost in a beautiful fantasy, with the corners of her mouth turned up high.

"Overthrowing Yamamoto's evil rule and dominating the Soul Society will be just around the corner!"

"Well, I came to the Central Prison specifically for you, so how about you do me a favor?"

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

Was he just talking to Erlong? Why can't I hear Yoruichi talking all of a sudden?

Is it even pleasing for him to hear that?

You can only spout nonsense and act irrationally because you're the head of the Shihōin family.

If he were to say something like that, he'd probably be stabbed in the back by those dogs from the Riding team the very next day, and then he'd be stabbed thirty-six times and commit suicide.

Furthermore, how can the Soul Society be managed well when you're with someone like that?

Under Yoruichi Shihouin's watchful gaze, Naraku Sora coughed twice to cover his guilty conscience:

"Ahem, that's not my ambition, and besides, the prison warden has been very kind to me."

Yoruichi Shihouin thought for a moment and said seriously, "Are you really not going to consider it? There are a lot of cute girls in the Second Division..."

Your rhetoric is so polished; how many people have you said it to?

Naraku Sora almost fell for him.

But at the crucial moment, he pulled back from the brink and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

He's a man determined to save Soul Society, how could he be tempted by such a paltry sum?

Everyone in the Zhenyang Prison is talented and speaks very well; there's no place more suitable for him than this.

Although the Second Division also has a similar nest of maggots, that place was mainly prepared for those Shinigami who left the division.

In a sense, the maggot's nest was more about saving face for the 46th Chamber.

In the eyes of the 46th Chamber, the Gotei 13 is a noble organization that will never allow "unfit members to appear among the qualified members".

Leaving the team means being "specially conditioned" and will be housed in a maggot nest.

They may not have committed any crime, but they certainly violated the Soul Society regulations set by the 46 Chambers.

In Naraku Sora's eyes, the so-called Soul Society laws did not exist to uphold justice in Soul Society.

It represents more the unquestionable authority of the Forty-Sixth Chamber, and its lofty and unshakeable position.

status.

Naraku Sora, with her unwavering perseverance, stubbornly refused Yoruichi Shihōin's invitation.

"It's okay if you refuse."

Yoruichi didn't take it to heart at all and laughed it off.

"Based on what you did to the Araki family, as long as I'm in the Second Division, you'll always have a place there."

"If all else fails, covert maneuvering is also an option."

Obviously.

Yoruichi Shihouin, still a young girl, is full of passion and justice, and cannot be considered the same species as those nobles who are corrupt to the core.

After finally seeing Yoruichi off, Naraku Sora hadn't even entered the room when he turned around and saw Nishikawa rushing over with a constipated expression on his face.

"Naraku, urgent information."

"Meow?"

"Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto personally ordered you to go to the First Division barracks."

"?"

Are the Gotei 13 all idle? They just got rid of one of the 2nd Divisions, and now another 1st Division has arrived.

"Don't just stand there, go on your way."

Nishikawa urged, "Although I don't know what the Captain-Commander is thinking, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Although he was a bit old-fashioned, stubborn, and cruel, he was still very reasonable."

"Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't break the law, you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Naraku suddenly felt a slight ache in his teeth.

Although he appears to be a law-abiding citizen, he has actually violated the most serious emergency in Soul Society.

If that old man Yamamoto finds him, can he really survive?

However, Shutara Senjumaru had previously vouched for him on more than one occasion with her own integrity, stating that without the use of the appropriate equipment, the Shinigami would have no way of detecting his abnormality.

Even the team leader is the same.

Although this woman is usually quite mischievous, she wouldn't joke about something like this.

Thinking about this...

Naraku Sora mustered his courage, straightened his back, and left the prison barracks.

For some reason, as Xichuan watched his departing figure, he felt a sense of tragic grandeur, like a hero going forth never to return.

Could this kid have gotten himself into some trouble behind the scenes?

……

……

First Squad Barracks.

It was very different from the desolate Zhenyang Prison; everywhere you looked, there were death gods standing guard.

After revealing their identities, a messenger Shinigami immediately appeared and led Naraku Sora to the room where the Captain-Commander was located.

It was a relatively simple tea room, with landscape paintings exuding an antique charm hanging on the walls, an elegant tea table placed horizontally, and a tea stove making a soft gurgling sound.

A faint aroma of tea filled the room.
