Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Even the First Division still lives in the old barracks, without any change!

Looking at the Shinigami prison barracks in the inner palace, their level was many times higher than that of the Gotei 13.

Moreover, I heard that even the venues unique to other squads were copied back by the Prison Commander.

The members of the Second Division are currently overseeing the construction of a special training ground, and the Fifth Division's demon power recovery room has also completed its basic framework, just waiting to be filled with demonic incantations...

Looking at the ever-changing barracks, the team members couldn't help but feel grateful.

The building, which had remained unchanged for hundreds of years, was given a completely new look shortly after Lord Naraku took office, just as he had said in his inauguration speech.

This glory will not be enjoyed by Lord Naraku alone!

He cares about us.

In addition, the mindless boasting of Kuchiki Hibiki caused gratitude to gradually turn into strong loyalty.

Almost every member of the team has reached an off-the-charts level of loyalty.

Therefore, even though Naraku would disappear from time to time and was often away from the barracks, it did not affect his status in the hearts of the members.

When they saw that tall figure appear in the street, the passing soldiers all put down their work and bowed respectfully, almost shouting "Loyalty!" in the street.

Several striking figures appeared in the crowd.

Leading the group was a dog-headed man with smooth fur and an endearingly clumsy face.

At this moment, Komamura Sajin had changed into a black Shinigami outfit. His nearly three-meter height made him look extremely imposing, and he had a Zanpakuto hanging at his waist.

During his time with Seireitei, he had essentially become a full-fledged Shinigami.

Unlike in the original story, he did not wear a helmet to conceal his face.

The reason is that most of the Grim Reapers in the True Central Prison are fierce-looking people, some of whom are even recruited from criminals.

In terms of sheer brutality, Komamura Sajin was even slightly less ruthless than them.

Judging people by their appearance is completely unfounded.

Behind him stood a dark-skinned man with his eyes closed but a gentle expression, a Zanpakuto also slung at his waist.

Tosen Kaname.

Because Kagura's fate changed, Tosen's personality also underwent some changes.

However, what remained unchanged was that he still became close friends with Komamura Sajin, who shared a similar temperament.

Because they joined the team around the same time and had similar talents, they often trained and lived together.

Even Ge Kuang was somewhat envious of their friendship.

It is worth mentioning that Komamura Sajin adopted a stray Shiba Inu in Rukongai during a mission and named it "Goro".

Originally, they planned to send him back to the werewolf clan's new settlement, but because Goro clung to him too much, they had no choice but to take him back to the Shinigami Prison.

Influenced by the competitive atmosphere among other members, Goro gradually learned the abstract technique of "dog holding a sword," making his movements powerful and forceful.

His combat talent is even stronger than that of the average soldier.

Because of his werewolf clan, Komamura Sajin can communicate normally with dogs.

So after consulting Goro's opinion, they immediately decided to train it to be a fighting dog.

One day, when his training is complete, Goro will also become a member of the loyal army.

"Lord Naraku."

Upon seeing Naraku Sora, Kagaku greeted her with a gentle smile and respect.

She had genuine respect for the boy who ended the evil deeds of the Tsunayo family, even though they differed in their understanding of justice.

After spending time together, Kaku discovered that although Naraku's justice was much more violent, it was more effective than the justice she knew.

"Long time no see, Ge Kuang, Zuo Zhen, and Yao."

"How are things? Are you settling in well here? Do you need me to help you transfer to the Gotei 13 or the Kidoshu?"

Naraku Sora grinned.

However, to his surprise, the expressions of the three men immediately turned serious upon hearing this.

"Lord Naraku, please retract your kindness."

"We are very happy here."

"There is no better place than the Shin-o Prison."

Naraku Sora blinked, somewhat puzzled as to why the three of them were so resolute.

It was clearly just an insignificant suggestion.

"Fine, whatever makes you happy."

Naraku Sora shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and said:

"Speaking of which, you've been part of the Shin-O Prison for quite some time now."

"Since I have some free time today, why don't we have a heated fight and let me see the results of your training?"

"I trust Ge Kuang quite a bit, mainly Zuo Zhen and the two of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Komamura Sajin and Tosen Kaname exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing excitement.

"Does Lord Naraku intend to take on both of us by himself?"

Naraku Sora shook his head in refusal:

"No, you're too weak. You'll be doomed if you fight me."

"Just fight each other, don't worry about getting hurt. When I came back from the outside world this time, cough cough, I brought back some formulas for special medicines."

"No matter how severe the injury, it can be healed."

Upon hearing this, Komamura Sajin and Tosen Kaname were completely relieved, and their gazes towards each other were filled with fervor.

The two are not only friends, but also competitors.

On the training ground, two figures stood facing each other, their expressions solemn and serious, as if they were mortal enemies.

Both of them gleaned the same information from each other's expressions.

Lord Naraku's approval is mine!

The two had sparred countless times, and the moment their eyes met, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.

A strong wind howled, and a tangible light enveloped the two of them, like armor.

Komamura Sajin grinned maliciously, his beastly aura suddenly spreading out. He dashed out with a Shunpo, covering a distance of dozens of meters in an instant, and gripped his Zanpakuto in his right hand, slashing fiercely forward.

The powerful blow caused the air to tremble, and the airflow was pushed to both sides.

Tosen was prepared for this, his expression hardened, and he dodged to the side.

Although he was blind, the Spirit King was fair; when he closed a door, he opened a window for him.

With his spiritual pressure perception, Tosen Kaname is able to clearly perceive changes in the spiritual particles in the outside world and use this ability to construct images in his mind.

It can easily recognize even detailed text.

Therefore, even when handling paperwork, they are very capable.

Komamura Sajin's blade grazed his shoulder, and the resulting gust of wind cleaved the solid ground beneath his feet, carving a trench tens of meters long.

hum-

A materialized spiritual pressure covered the blade, and Tosen Kaname charged forward against the surging wind.

boom!

The moment the blades clashed, countless dazzling sparks erupted, and visible shockwaves instantly exploded between the two.

The battle has officially begun!

Seeing the imposing presence of the two, Naraku nodded in satisfaction.

Both Komamura Sajin and Tosen Kaname have reached the spiritual pressure level of a seated official.

This growth rate is much faster than his initial one.

Given time, it will surely become the pillar of the True Central Prison, a golden beam supporting the sea and a white jade pillar reaching the sky.

Two figures kept intersecting, turning into afterimages that were difficult for ordinary Shinigami soldiers to distinguish amidst the swirling dust.

Each collision unleashed astonishing waves of dust and debris.

"Tosen, you can't beat me!"

"I am determined to gain Lord Naraku's approval!"

As Komamura Sajin let out a deafening roar, a faint red light emanated from his massive body as he raised his sword-wielding right claw high.

"Roar, divine retribution!"

The moment the words fell, countless spiritual particles condensed above his head, instantly transforming into a giant arm clad in armor.

Its length of tens of meters is quite exaggerated.

Even more outrageous, in the palm of that giant hand was a massive blade tens of meters long, gleaming with a cold light and exuding an oppressive aura.

The moment he slowly drew his sword, the earth roared, countless cracks appeared, and dust swept through the air.

Komamura Sajin let out a muffled groan, revealing a ferocious smile, with white steam escaping from between his sharp canine teeth.

This is his trump card, and the key to victory.

"Zuo Zhen, you underestimate me."

Tosen Kaname curled the corners of his mouth, his smile somewhat eerie.

“Although I joined the team a little later, back in Rukongai, Kagura had already shared his training experience with me, so you will be the first person to witness it—”

"Scream, locusts!"

A deep purple spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, and within the light, the originally ordinary standard Zanpakuto underwent a transformation. Countless sharp spikes sprouted from the tsuba, resembling fangs, revealing its ferocity.

The blade was slightly curved, and the body of the knife trembled slightly.

Like the antennae of a locust.
