Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Since becoming the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, there have been more and more things he wants to protect.

But it is precisely because of this that I have come to realize my own powerlessness.

His specialty is destruction, not creation.

This level of achievement represents the limit of their capabilities.

Seemingly sensing Yamamoto's hesitation, Naraku grinned and said frankly:

"Teacher, you have done very well."

"But no one is omnipotent. All we can do is identify problems and then hand them over to capable people to solve."

"You agree, right, Kisuke?"

Beside him, Kisuke Urahara's features were contorted and his expression was grotesque.

Chapter 342 This world has gone completely mad.

First Division, Captain's Office.

Chojiro Sasaki gracefully picked up the teapot and poured the finest hagoromo tea into the cup.

"Captain of the Beijing Opera, please have some tea."

Taking the cup, Kyoraku Shunsui looked at his senior with a somewhat somber expression.

As Yamamoto's disciple, Chojiro Sasakibe was already Yamamoto's right-hand man long before he began studying under him.

Not only did he make great contributions to the Yuanliu, but he also made a crucial contribution to the victory in the war against the Quincy a thousand years ago.

It can be said that the Soul Society owes much of its current state to the stern-faced Chojiro Sasakibe.

His willingness to make these quiet contributions stemmed entirely from his loyalty to Yamamoto.

"Senior Sparrowbeard, when do you think our teacher will be back?"

Kyoraku Shunsui took a sip of tea and gently put down his cup.

Hagoromo tea is the highest grade of tea in Soul Society. It tastes very good and has a pleasant aroma, but he had no interest in appreciating it at all.

It has been some time since Yamamoto left Seireitei.

They clearly said they would be back in three days at most, but now there's absolutely no sign of them returning.

Now all the duties of the Gotei 13 headquarters have piled up on his shoulders, which makes Kyoraku Shunsui, who is used to slacking off, feel a lot of pressure.

Especially after discovering that Naraku Sora had also disappeared.

Kyoraku Shunsui became increasingly panicked.

Could it be that these two, master and apprentice, suddenly got the urge to fight and found a secluded place to do so?

The thought that the two of them might end up hurting each other and then spending ten or eight years recuperating in hospital beds is unbearable.

At that time, all the files and documents of the First Division will be handed to me, in addition to the original work of the Eighth Division.

Kyoraku Shunsui was completely devastated.

There's always a feeling of being outmaneuvered by a brute.

"I'm not sure about that."

Chojiro Sakuya smiled slightly and explained, "Before leaving, Lord Genryusai only said that he had to do something very important."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately had a bad feeling.

"Lord Yuan Liuzhai specifically mentioned that if he does not return, the head of the Jingyue Band will temporarily assume the role of captain."

Kyoraku Shunsui's breath hitched, and his eyes widened instinctively.

Just as he was panicking, a figure completely covered up suddenly appeared in the corridor outside the door.

They are members of the covert operations force, specifically responsible for transmitting important intelligence.

Although the current communication system can transmit messages quickly, some important information is still handled by the covert operations.

"Report! Captain Kyoraku and Vice-Captain of the Sparrow Club have spotted Captain-Commander and Lord Naraku in South Rukongai!"

Kyoraku Shunsui was overjoyed.

He jumped up from his seat.

"Are they both alright?"

"Where exactly is it, and how long until we can return to Seireitei?"

The messenger, Death, paused for a moment, then honestly replied:

"Both of the officials appeared normal, except that they were accompanied by several unfamiliar faces."

Kyoraku Shunsui was taken aback: "An unfamiliar face?"

"Could it be that Junior Brother has found some hidden genius in Rukongai again?"

The thought that Naraku Sora had single-handedly built an armed force that was no weaker than the Gotei 13 made Kyoraku Shunsui a little nervous.

He had been to Rukongai quite often, but he hadn't found a single exceptionally talented Shinigami.

"Never mind, I'll go and see for myself."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Kyoraku Shunsui took the opportunity to leave behind the pile of files and disappeared in a flash.

Led by members of the Covert Force, he quickly passed through the White Gate and arrived at South Rukongai.

On the wide street, two figures hurried along.

Before long, they saw their target.

Led by Naraku Sora, the group walked and stopped, traversing the streets and alleys.

Yamamoto stood beside him, his aged face filled with a thoughtful expression.

He seems to be struggling with something.

Naraku Sora would occasionally introduce the sights to those around her, while also buying some local delicacies or items.

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be a group of ordinary people who have never been to the front area of ​​Rukongai before.

There was absolutely no spiritual pressure.

However, when they got closer and he could see what the group of people looked like, Kyoraku Shunsui's expression froze.

Even with the blazing sun overhead, Kyoraku Shunsui still felt a bone-chilling cold, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Why would two groups of people with completely opposing views stay together so harmoniously?

Isn't Shan Ye always known for being intolerant of injustice?

Why do you ignore the Hollows around you?

Captain-Commander Yamamoto, have you betrayed us?!

Just then, Naraku also spotted his cheap senior brother and waved to someone in the distance.

Kyoraku Shunsui shows no sign of the past.

He remembered clearly that when they went to Hueco Mundo to provide rescue, it was these very guys who blocked their way to Las Noches.

Their strength is unprecedented.

If Naraku hadn't appeared in time, the so-called Hueco Mundo expeditionary force would probably have been completely wiped out.

and many more!

Kyoraku Shunsui noticed the blind spot.

The timing of Naraku's appearance at that time was far too coincidental. Could it be that he orchestrated the whole thing himself?!

Seeing that no one was coming, Naraku Sora led the Arrancar towards Kyoraku Shunsui.

As the crowd drew ever closer, Kyoraku Shunsui's heart and lungs stopped, and he instinctively drew his sword.

when!!

With a look of utter disbelief on Kyoraku Shunsui's face, his blade was easily blocked by a finger, producing a clanging sound of metal striking metal.

Sparks flew.

Naraku Sora's fingers acted like a barrier in the void, effortlessly deflecting the slash.

"Senior Brother Jing Le, why did we draw our swords at each other the moment we met? Did I do something wrong?"

Maintaining the posture of blocking the knife with his fingers, Naraku grinned.

"how is this possible?"

Kyoraku Shunsui was completely taken aback by the exaggerated scene before him.

Although he restrained some of his power at the crucial moment, he is still a genuine Captain-level Grim Reaper, and not just any Captain.

But isn't using a single finger to block a knife a bit too outrageous?

Naraku is strong, but not to this extent, right?

Nothing is impossible.

Naraku Sora smiled confidently, "Now that my divine skills have been perfected, there is nothing in this world that can stop me!"

Looking at the villainous remarks of the person in front of him, Kyoraku Shunsui's expression was somewhat dazed.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke with a bitter tone:

"Could you explain what's going on with them first?"

Upon hearing this, Naraku Sora suddenly realized why Kyoraku Shunsui had attacked as soon as they met.

Having spent too long in Hueco Mundo, he had become so accustomed to the presence of Harribel and the others that he almost forgot the Shinigami captain would instinctively breathe on them when he saw them.

Because he planned to introduce himself to others before returning to Soul Society and promote the relationship between them, he did not disguise himself.

While ordinary Shinigami might not be able to recognize Arrancar Hollows, slightly stronger Shinigami can instantly discern the unique spiritual pressure emanating from them.

"These are my subordinates whom I recruited in Hueco Mundo. They heard that I was doing well in Soul Society, so they came to join me."
