Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

He thought he had done a perfect job.

Surprisingly, in Naraku's eyes, there was still room for improvement.

Following Naraku's instructions, the two began rigorous and meticulous training.

The heavy spiritual pressure covered the entire dojo, making the invisible air as thick and viscous as mercury, requiring ten or even nine times the effort for every movement.

Soon, Byakuya Kuchiki exhausted his strength.

He was about to give up, but when he saw Gin Ichimaru next to him, who was covered in sweat but still training rigorously, a strong sense of unwillingness rose from the bottom of his heart.

I still bear the responsibility of revitalizing the Kuchiki family; how can I easily admit defeat?!

Kuchiki Byakuya gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, desperately squeezing out the potential within his body.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the previously depleted power suddenly surged by a large margin, causing the parched body to regain a strong vitality.

Even the spiritual pressure increased significantly.

Kuchiki Byakuya was pleasantly surprised to find that his spiritual pressure had improved remarkably under this training method that constantly pushed him to his limits.

"Alright, that's enough for the training for now."

Naraku Sora withdrew his released spiritual pressure. "It's lunchtime now. Let's go to the Fifth Division next door for lunch. The Spirit Arts Academy is the closest to the Fifth Division's barracks."

“But…” Kuchiki Byakuya felt that now that he had just broken through, it was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot.

Naraku Sora seemed to have read his thoughts and explained with a smile:

"Play well, eat well, rest well, and live a happy life. This is also part of spiritual practice."

"Since Lord Kuchiki has entrusted you to me, you must follow my methods."

Gin Ichimaru seemed to be deep in thought.

The three arrived at the Fifth Division's dining hall without any hindrance. Naraku Sora skillfully instructed the chef to prepare a fine feast.

The chef was already used to Naraku-sama, who often came to his team's dormitory to eat and drink for free, and even knew every dish that Naraku Sora liked.

Soon, the three of them finished showing off their beauty.

Four-fifths of it went into Naraku Sora's stomach, while the remaining one-fifth was divided equally between Ichimaru Gin and Kuchiki Byakuya.

Next is the break time.

Naraku Sora led the two on a leisurely stroll through the area under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Division, where they met many Shinigami and gained some understanding of the story of the Dragon of Documents.

Finally, they returned to the Academy of Spiritual Arts.

"Next comes the most important part: the training."

Kuchiki Byakuya and Ichimaru Gin's expressions immediately turned serious.

Putting everything else aside, their leisurely stroll this afternoon certainly helped them relax a lot; this peculiar method of cultivation must have its unique advantages.

As expected of Lord Naraku!

Seeing the expectant expressions on their faces, Naraku Sora grinned.

"All the effort we put into training is for the purpose of winning in battle, so let's fight!"

"A true life-or-death struggle."

"Use any means necessary to eliminate the opponent; the winner takes all, and the loser eats the dust!"

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment: "But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naraku had already given the order:

"Silver, kill him."

Without the slightest hesitation, a streak of silver light burst forth from the dojo, as if it were about to sever the air, and the explosive sound shot straight to the roof.

Naraku Sora nodded in satisfaction.

There aren't many obedient and sensible children like Gin. Compared to Kisuke, who likes to pretend to comply but actually do nothing and slack off all day, they are worlds apart.

"Hado No. 4: White Lightning!"

A crackling arc of electricity shot out, heading straight for Byakuya Kuchiki.

The lightning struck the solid floor, exploding into countless charred fragments.

An undisguised killing intent enveloped him, leaving Byakuya Kuchiki both shocked and enraged.

This guy is serious!

Soon, the two clashed, and the sound of metal clashing against metal filled the air.

After an unknown amount of time, the two battered figures collapsed almost simultaneously. Byakuya Kuchiki, whose strength was slightly weaker, didn't even have the strength to move a single finger.

"We lost."

This was the first thought that popped into his head.

"But I'll definitely win next time!"

Gin Ichimaru remained remarkably calm, mentally reviewing what he had gained during the recent battle.

It must be said that this method of cultivation is indeed effective.

Naraku Sora stretched out his hands and covered the two people's heads, and a green light symbolizing life force covered their entire bodies from top to bottom.

Although they weren't very skilled at using the return method, they were strong enough to withstand the flying bricks, and since both of them only had superficial injuries, they could still receive simple treatment.

"Good job, very well done."

Naraku Sora was very generous with his praise.

"Remember what I said before: excessive practice will only be a hindrance."

"Alright, that concludes today's Naraku-ryu training. I'll come to visit you again when I have time."

After the treatment, Naraku Sora patted his butt and left.

Kuchiki Byakuya watched someone's departing figure and subconsciously asked:

"Gin, what kind of person do you think Naraku-senpai is?"

Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru's lips curled up slightly:

"Of course, he's a reassuring person."

……

……

After returning to the Shinigami Prison, Naraku Sora was unusually quiet for a while.

Soul Society has fallen into a long-lost peace and tranquility.

He spends his days hanging out with Kisuke Urahara, Aizen, and others, occasionally training with Komamura and the others, or beating up Kenpachi Zaraki.

He would occasionally visit the Fourth Division barracks to exchange ideas on swordsmanship with Retsu Unohana.

If I have some free time, I'll go to the Second Division and give Yoruichi some pointers on the advanced Shunko technique she developed.

It's worth mentioning that her talent in Shunpo is far greater than her talent in Zanpakuto.

After just a few exchanges, one can gradually grasp the consciousness of the Thunder Beast.

At least it won't be like a cat, needing other people's help to deactivate Thunder Beast Mode.

Under Sora's one-on-one guidance, Soi Fon also learned the basics of the advanced hand-to-hand combat technique, Shunko.

As a result, the girl became much closer to him again.

She's already showing signs of surpassing Yoruichi.

Without a doubt, such times were the happiest for Soi Fon, a girl who didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

Seeing the people I admire and like every day feels like living in paradise.

The only thing that's a bit of a worry is...

Every time I go to the barracks of the Shinigami Prison, I am met with inexplicable hostility from an orange-haired girl.

Judging from the other person's eyes, it seemed they wanted to compete with him.

Soi Fon wasn't quite sure what had happened, but her intuition told her it was probably related to Naraku Sora.

With that thought in mind, she no longer had any intention of backing down.

Just as Yoruichi said, there will be countless competitors on this path.

But she will never back down; she is determined to go all the way!

the other side.

After a period of arduous research, Aizen finally made a breakthrough in the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Therefore, he and Naraku Sora came to Rukongai.

What is this?

Looking at the sophisticated instruments laid out on the open ground, Naraku Sora showed a puzzled expression.

"I analyzed the principles of the Impure World Reincarnation and, based on that, created a device that uses the Hogyoku as its core to drive it."

Aizen said calmly:

"Next, we can try to seize the authority over Hell."

Chapter 263 Isn't this also a kind of minotaur?

"What...are you saying?"

Naraku Sora crossed his arms, looking completely bewildered.

"Why would you suddenly decide to seize control of Hell?"

Aizen: "?"

"Didn't you develop the Impure World Reincarnation technique for the sake of that fertile land in Hell?"
