Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

With him as a disciple, the Soul Society was safe and sound, and everyone lived happily together. There was nothing to worry about.

In that case, the Impure World Reincarnation seems to be of little use.

Let's leave it for now. When we get back to Soul Society, we'll ask Aizen if there's anyone he wants to revive, and then we can take care of that for him.

Ideally, it would be his parents or someone like that, so that after his resurrection, he could become sworn brothers with them, thus making his status as an adopted son legitimate.

Unohana Retsu looked at Naraku Sora with some strangeness in the cell.

Even though nothing had happened, his expression kept changing: joy, shock, contemplation, reverie, smugness...

Could this child have suffered some kind of aftereffect from the fight just now?

Thinking of this, Retsu Unohana couldn't help but feel more worried.

According to her research, hyper-regeneration can heal injuries, but it cannot cure diseases, and countless powerful Shinigami in the history of Soul Society have fallen victim to diseases.

Let me give Kong a medical check-up later.

Unohana Retsu secretly made up her mind.

Such a wonderful fruit cannot be ruined by some unknown disease.

She finally managed to dispel the thought of dying. There was still a long time ahead, and one extreme battle experience was not enough to satisfy her.

"Sister Lie, do you think it's possible for the dead to come back to life?"

Naraku suddenly realized that there was a master of the Dao Returning Realm right next to him.

Retsu Unohana paused for a moment, then subconsciously thought for a few seconds before saying seriously:

"It's impossible under normal circumstances."

"But if it is a human in the present world, in the few seconds immediately after death, the soul can be forcibly fixed in the dead body through soul modification technology, thereby achieving the purpose of resurrection."

"But this situation is extremely unstable. The slightest external stimulus could lead to the separation of the soul and body again, or even cause a more serious situation."

Naraku Sora nodded thoughtfully.

I vaguely remember the soul-modifying technology; I heard Kisuke Urahara mention it casually before. However, it seems that it was banned by the 46 Chambers many years ago because it was too dangerous.

However, I've heard that this technology also inspired Tokifune Kiryu to some extent.

The project she is currently researching, called "Original Soul," is related to the modification of souls.

After a pause, Retsu Unohana continued:

"Moreover, as far as I know, there are historical records of people being resurrected, whether it is due to the power of a Zanpakuto or some unknown technology."

"Then we'll have to wait and see."

Why did you suddenly think of asking this?

Naraku Sora opened the cell door and released Unohana Retsu.

"It just suddenly came to mind."

It's not that I don't trust Retsu Unohana, it's just that there are some things I can't let her know.

Although both are essentially unconventional figures, Unohana Retsu and Aizen are still somewhat different.

Even before he met Aizen, he had already begun trying to understand the essence of the three realms.

After becoming close friends, they set their sights on the Soul King and the Zero Division.

This goes beyond being described as heretical; it's pure anti-world sentiment.

As for Kisuke Urahara, although he was willing to live under the rules, he still took corresponding remedial measures.

For example, a backup Spirit King or something.

Of course, that all happened later.

Retsu Unohana glanced at Sora Naraku, who had a calm expression, but didn't press for further questions.

In her eyes, a man who has accomplished something as great as ruling Hueco Mundo is entitled to do whatever he wants, no matter how outrageous his actions may be.

Even if the Spirit King were to be replaced...

Okay, this is still outside the acceptable range.

"I think the overall style of Las Noches seems very similar to that of the Central Prison Barracks. I wonder if they have a hellish hot spring?"

Suddenly, Retsu Unohana thought of something and said softly.

"There are some."

Naraku Sora suddenly realized, "Hell Hot Springs are also very effective for some Arrancar who are not good at super-speed regeneration. In addition, the martial spirit here is abundant, so the frequency of use will be relatively high."

"Come with me."

The two left the prison and soon arrived near two steaming red and white hot springs.

Unohana Retsu arrived near the rock wall and reached out to test the effect. The warm touch flowed into her body through her right fingertips, and the remaining spiritual energy instantly became active.

Some injuries caused by the shattering of Bankai are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The effect is stronger than that of the multi-purpose ambulance."

Unohana Retsu lowered her gaze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

As she spoke, she nimbly removed her tattered captain's haori, untied the light-colored sash around her waist, and a glimpse of bright white flashed through the thin mist of the hot spring before she sank into the hot spring with a splash.

He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that someone else was standing next to him.

The speed of the movement even surprised Naraku Sora.

Why are all the female Grim Reapers he knows so informal?

Through the thin mist, in the direction from which the sound of water came, a huge object could be vaguely seen floating on the water's surface, with two hands resting on it, gently pressing down.

Feeling the warmth emanating from within and the spiritual pressure steadily recovering, Retsu Unohana felt refreshed and relaxed, leaning lazily against the rock wall.

Soaking in a hot spring after a fierce battle is truly a blissful experience.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly remembered something, and gave a mischievous smile to the shore, as if a devil's whisper was softly echoing:

"Kong, won't you come along?"

"?"

Naraku Sora's expression suddenly turned serious.

Although it's a bit fast, wouldn't it be worse than an animal to refuse at a time like this?

He quickly stripped off his clothes, took a step forward, and plunged into the hot spring. A fair-skinned figure slowly approached.

The misty vapor could no longer obstruct the view, and the beautiful scenery was now fully revealed.

Unohana's braided hair fell loose and floated on the water's surface.

She had initially tried to conceal it, but as the figure drew closer, she released her hands and instead pressed them against Naraku Sora's skin, feeling the dormant heat within.

It's like a volcano about to erupt.

"Empty, pleasing others is a two-way street..."

Unohana Retsu leaned close to her ear, her gentle voice like a babbling brook.

"So, there's nothing you want to do?"

Now that things have come to this point, backing down now would be tantamount to giving up. It's not exactly a natural progression, but at least there's been some emotional buildup.

In the past, after kendo exchanges, he would always rest with his knees as a pillow.

We finally won today, so let's just go somewhere else to rest.

Naraku Sora opened his arms and embraced Wenrun, feeling her smooth, creamy skin, and lowered his head to press his lips to hers.

Their eyes met, and an unnamed fire ignited within them.

It began with a muffled groan, marking the start of an endless journey.

……

……

Feeling refreshed, Naraku stretched as he left the palace, his bones cracking with a crisp sound.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, I immediately felt a sense of physical and mental comfort.

To be fair, she truly deserves to be one of the strongest female Grim Reapers.

Retsu Unohana's talent is top-notch, whether in combat or other fields.

Perhaps it's due to her dedication to swordsmanship training, or perhaps it's due to her excellent self-care, but both her flexibility and resilience are outrageously strong.

In addition, the spiritual pressure was extremely strong. Despite his extraordinary talent, it took him a lot of effort and a hard-fought battle to finally defeat it completely.

Recalling the battle just now, Naraku grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.

A wonderful life is just beginning!

……

After resting for a few days at Hueco Mundo, Retsu Unohana finally recovered all her spiritual pressure.

We had originally planned to let her stay a little longer, but considering that she had left a "will" before coming, we were worried that something might go wrong.

The only option is to send them back.

However, before leaving, Grimmjow, whose mind was filled with the thrill of battle, challenged him once again.

In his mind, anyone who could fight Naraku Kuru and survive was undoubtedly a strong person.

What reason would a strong person not to fight?

Unohana Retsu glanced at Naraku Sora, and realizing he had no objections, readily agreed.

She was also very curious about these Arrancars that were created from Hollows.

As a Hollow, the fact that he could accept the power of the Shinigami and transform into a form similar to the Shinigami must contain countless secrets.

Although Retsu Unohana wasn't a true researcher, she could still sense the difficulty involved.

I never expected that Naraku Sora would have such a high level of scientific research.

That was truly unexpected.
