Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

A tiny crack was seen expanding rapidly in the air, quickly forming a huge, dark fissure.

A savage aura emanated from the depths, and a massive, alien creature emerged from it.

Suddenly, ear-piercing screams erupted in the street.

"It's all an illusion, an illusion!"

"Immediately notify the Grim Reaper patrolling nearby!"

"Run away!"

Naraku raised an eyebrow and looked at the displeased old man beside him.

"We actually encountered a Hollow invading Rukongai at this time."

"What a coincidence."

The alien creature let out a deafening roar, its eyes greedily fixed on the souls scattering and fleeing through the streets, as if watching a buffet with no time limit.

However, just as it was about to start, a figure appeared in front of it without its knowledge.

A blonde woman with an expressionless face was looking at it with icy eyes.

Although the other party did not have any spiritual pressure at all, the aura it emitted instantly froze it in place, even stopping its breathing.

The next second, before the alien void could even open its mouth, it instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist and completely disappeared into the air, leaving not even a trace.

Meanwhile, Nelliel picked up an unconscious woman from a corner.

"Lord Naraku, she seems to be dying."

Kisuke Urahara leaned over for a glance and immediately determined the result.

The soul itself was too weak, and coupled with years of lack of water, it was affected by the surge of spiritual pressure when the Hollow appeared, and fell into a coma.

Although he won't die anytime soon, judging from his aura, he doesn't seem to have many more years to live.

Kisuke Urahara shook his head.

This kind of thing is common in the back neighborhoods of Rukongai.

The Gotei 13 has a limited number of members and simply doesn't have the time to attend to them.

Furthermore, the fundamental reason is that the environment is too harsh, and even if we wanted to change it, it wouldn't be something that could be done overnight.

Perhaps we can consider related projects later.

Given his personality, he should approve the research funding immediately.

Just as Kisuke was calculating how many applications to make, Naraku Sora arrived in front of Nelliel and curiously looked into her arms.

When he saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.

“That iconic onion dome…”

Seeing Naraku Sora's appearance, Yamamoto frowned, as if he had thought of something.

If I remember correctly, Naraku Sora has a special ability to recognize people and can often find some geniuses in Rukongai.

He was sent to Rukongai to recruit people a long time ago.

I didn't have high hopes, but this guy brought back Kenpachi Zaraki and Sajin Komamura.

If we calculate it this way...

After a quick check of the other person's condition, Naraku Sora immediately began to treat them.

Since comprehending the Samsara Rebirth Technique, his level of rebirth has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is now no weaker than the fourth division's vice-captain, Yamada Seinosuke.

Treating this minor problem is incredibly easy.

Before long, the woman's breathing became steady and she recovered. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a scene that was hard to understand.

More than a dozen unreadable gazes fell upon her, as if they were looking at some strange object.

Her breath hitched, and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.

Although I don't know these people, judging from the aura they unconsciously exude, they are not simple characters.

I am just an ordinary resident of Rukongai, without even a talent for spiritual power. What have I done to deserve the attention of so many terrifying figures?

Could it be that……

The girl instinctively tightened her coarse cloth clothes, a look of fear on her face.

Naraku's face immediately darkened.

What does that mean?

How did you get the idea that I like your taste?

The Great Plains, which is even worse than Soi Fon, is simply not my cup of tea.

Despite some dissatisfaction, Narakuku patiently explained:

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a good or bad person."

"You were overwhelmed by the sudden burst of Hollow spiritual pressure, and your soul was too weak, causing you to faint. I was the one who saved you."

The girl's expression relaxed considerably as she recalled what had just happened.

Judging from the appearance of the person in front of me, he is indeed not a bad person.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of apology appeared on the girl's face, and she felt ashamed of her earlier doubts.

"I'm very sorry, sir..."

"Don't worry about it, I just have something I wanted to ask you."

Naraku waved his hand, indicating, "Just answer truthfully."

The girl nodded repeatedly.

To repay a life-saving debt, you only need to answer a few questions. Although the other person may look a bit fierce, they are actually a very good person.

Naraku asked, "What's your name?"

The girl paused for a moment, not understanding the significance of the question, but still answered truthfully:

"My name is Hishin..."

Chapter 341 I'm Not a Good Person

Upon hearing this name, Naraku Sora knew he hadn't made a mistake.

The two sisters look like they were made from the same mold. Despite their large age difference, they look almost identical.

The only difference might be their personalities.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have a younger sister?"

Upon hearing this, Hishima's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sir, how do you know about Rukia?"

"Have you seen that child somewhere before?"

At this point, an unusual blush rose on her face, and she became quite agitated.

"Don't be impatient."

Naraku Sora offered a reassuring remark, "I was just guessing."

Upon hearing this, Hishima was visibly disappointed and began to recount her previous actions in a low voice.

In her early years, she and Rukia, who was still an infant, depended on each other for survival.

Unfortunately, he lacked any spiritual talent and was unable to enter the Spiritual Arts Academy to study. He also lacked the ability to raise Rukia, so he had no choice but to abandon her.

He regretted it more than once afterward, but he could never find his abandoned sister again.

Naraku Sora expressed his understanding of this.

In the resource-scarce Xu Diao area, even normal souls struggle to survive.

Not to mention a weak woman with little ability, plus an infant with extremely strong spiritual talent who needs constant replenishment of food and water.

The difficulty of survival there is unimaginable to outsiders.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Hishima makes any choice.

If the two people stayed together, they might never have a chance to change their fate and would starve to death on the streets together.

All I can say is that fate is a very strange thing.

In the original timeline, Hisana, after surviving alone in Rukongai for many years, encountered Byakuya Kuchiki, who had grown up.

They fell in love at first sight.

Later, despite immense pressure from within his family, Byakuya Kuchiki forcibly married her into the Kuchiki family.

But this was also the beginning of a tragedy.

As a soul without any spiritual talent, Hisana faced immense pressure living in the Kuchiki family. Coupled with her intense guilt over abandoning her sister, she frequently traveled to Rukia's lair, which led to her aging and passing away a few years later.

But now, everything is different.

Because he came.

Naraku Sora casually reached out and pulled, and a young man with a bitter face, dejected head, and yellow sparse hair appeared next to him.

"Are you going to persecute me again, Lord Naraku?"

Kisuke looked resigned to his fate, as if he had already foreseen what was about to happen.

"I bet your next sentence will be..."

“Let’s improve this Ms. Hisana’s qualifications.”

Upon hearing Naraku Sora's words, Kisuke revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

He gave up struggling, carefully observed the girl squatting on the ground for a few seconds, and then said with a serious expression:

"The lack of water over the years has weakened her spirit, and coupled with her frail soul, if Lord Naraku takes her to Seireitei..."

"Everyone will die within ten years."
