Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

With a simple, unadorned blast of bone, the massive figure crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that was particularly striking under the lights.

The team members cheered enthusiastically for Kuchiki Hibiki's wonderful performance, their cheers rising like a surging tide.

Naraku Sora crossed his arms in front of him and frowned.

There's a big problem.

Xianghe has gone astray.

Just as Xianghe raised his hands in response to the cheers, he happened to see his best friend in the audience, and couldn't help but grin, revealing a genuine smile.

The first thing to do upon returning to the Central Prison is to find this place.

He truly is my dearest friend!

Xianghe vanished from his spot in a flash and arrived beside Naraku Sora. Just as he was about to say something reminiscing, he was interrupted by someone reaching out:

"Xianghe, come with me, there's something I want to tell you."

Xiu Mu Xiang He was taken aback.

Before long, the two arrived at a brand-new, unused dojo.

This is a building meticulously constructed by Kisuke Urahara, with reinforced Kido (demon arts) both inside and out, capable of withstanding battles from Shinigami of captain rank or higher.

It's perfect for use.

"Kong, when did you get back?"

"It's been there ever since you started stomping noobs."

Naraku Sora stretched out his arms and lowered his body slightly, allowing the suppressed muscles to be relieved.

His joints rubbed together, emitting a sharp whistling sound like snapping strings. His perfect muscles bulged slightly, making his face flush. Bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes, and a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

“Xianghe, I heard from Ge Kuang that you are often troubled by the lack of a suitable opponent.”

"It's been a long time since we've had a serious fight, so why don't I be your opponent?"

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Hibiki's eyes lit up, and he immediately got into position.

boom!

A deafening roar pierced the air.

A figure swept in from afar, leaping across several meters in an instant without any warning. By the time the sound rang out, Naraku Sora was already standing in front of Kuchiki Hibiki.

The pulsating muscles rippled like water, and as Naraku Sora raised his arm, the scorching spiritual pressure, accompanied by a burning wind, suddenly descended.

The rotten wood swayed as the river's pupils constricted.

Instinctively, he retreated, dodging the punch, while crouching low, like a hunting beast, his muscles clenching.

bottom up.

A single, pure, and unrestrained bone strike was unleashed.

This is the strongest attack technique that Kuchiki Kyoga can use without using his Zanpakuto. Its power is considerable and is in no way inferior to those flashy slashing techniques.

Even stronger.

boom!

Naraku Sora casually threw a left punch that collided with the bone, producing a heart-palpitating roar and a deafening sound.

Instantly, the aftershocks spread, causing the floorboards beneath their feet to creak and groan.

The next moment, Kuchiki Hibiki's expression changed drastically.

The power surging through Naraku's arms poured into his body the instant their fists collided, imbuing every inch of his flesh with invincible power.

In an instant, Kuki-ki Higashi was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing solidly into the wall and revealing countless ghostly patterns.

It was a swift and decisive victory.

Kukikawa struggled to his feet, leaning against the sunken wall, as memories flashed before his eyes like a slideshow.

If I remember correctly, the scene was exactly the same when he first met Naraku Sora in the Shinigami Prison.

Even after fully mastering the Yuan Flow taught by the other party, becoming far stronger than before, he was still no match for this monstrous friend.

Just then, Naraku Sora slowly walked up to Kuchiki Hibiki, reached out and pulled him up, saying earnestly:

"Xianghe, you've gone down the wrong path."

Kuchiki Hibiki: "?"

Hearing those familiar words again gave him the illusion of traveling back in time.

"Haven't I been doing exactly what you said?"

Naraku Sora shook his head helplessly:

"You're always thinking about yourself."

"I've already said, a Zanpakuto is not such an inconvenient thing."

"If I remember correctly, when you were building a relationship with Muramasa before, you should have taught him some of the techniques of Genryu, right?"

Hearing this, Kuchiki Hibiki became anxious: "Sora, let me explain..."

"What I mean is that we should not only do this in our daily practice, but also promote and expand the content of our practice."

Naraku Sora shook his head, revealing a look of disappointment and frustration:

“It’s better to guide than to block. Rather than keeping the village chief in his mind, we should fight side by side.”

"Anyway, in his physical form, his combat power is no less than yours. I've even thought of a name for him: Stand User."

Kuchiki Hibiki: "?"

Chapter 211 Boil Yamamoto in warm water

"What are you talking about...?"

Kuchiki Hibiki looked somewhat dazed, and for the first time, he began to doubt Naraku Sora's words.

He embarked on this path because of the influence of his close friend.

But now they're saying they want to fight side by side, isn't that going in the opposite direction?

Wouldn't that mean we'd be back on the same old path?

But upon further reflection, I realized that I had failed to understand the deeper meaning behind my friend's words.

We're all good brothers, would Kong lie to me?

Recalling the help Naraku Sora had once given him, Kuchiki Kyoga immediately calmed down and looked at him earnestly:

"Explain in detail!"

Naraku Sora grinned and explained:

Actually, you're using it incorrectly.

"Muramasa's true strength lies not in his ability to invade the inner world of other Shinigami, turn them against him, and materialize their Zanpakuto."

"Even if this ability is developed to its fullest potential, it will only make one a god of internal strife."

"If we encounter other enemies, such as Hollows or Quincy, then the 'whisper' technique will be of little use."

“I clearly taught you how to use a Zanpakuto correctly before, but you don’t seem to have taken my words to heart.”

"They only cared about the thrill of the battle and completely ignored Muramasa's feelings."

"As I just said, you're the kind of person who only thinks about yourself."

Xiu Mu Xiang He silently lowered his head, a hint of guilt appearing on his face.

Everything I said came true.

"Then what should I do?"

"It's simple, just summon Muramasa."

Kyoga Kuchiki drew his Zanpakuto, unleashing a burst of deep purple spiritual pressure. The atmosphere surged, and a powerful wind swirled and rose around the two of them.

Amidst the sweeping storm of spiritual particles, a familiar figure stepped out from the gleaming silver blade.

Muramasa's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at the man in front of him.

He understood that the reason why the Xiumu Xianghe River had undergone such a great change was entirely because of this young-looking person in front of him.

He couldn't say whether this change was good or bad.

The only thing that's certain is that Kuchiki Hibiki's mindset is much better than before.

I wouldn't say I'm sunny and cheerful, but at least I don't spend all my time overthinking things anymore.

Naraku Sora looked Muramasa up and down. He hadn't changed much from before, except that his fingernails, which were a few centimeters long, looked a bit out of place.

No wonder Xianghe doesn't use you. How can you fight with that posture?

Can I cut my nails?

"what?"

Muramasa looked bewildered until he noticed that Naraku's gaze was fixed on his hands, at which point he snapped back to reality.

"Yes, yes."

Although it is a sword spirit, once it materializes, it is no different from the Grim Reaper.

After all, they are all made up of spirit particles.

A flash of silver light from the blade, and tiny bits of nail clippings fell off, leaving my hands looking much cleaner.

Naraku Sora felt much better and then said frankly:

"If I remember correctly, Muramasa, you should be able to see or hear the voice deep within Kuchiki Kyouga's heart, right?"

Muramasa hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

As the owner of the Zanpakuto, Kuchiki Kyoga could actually block him out unilaterally.

However, this situation rarely occurs.
