Chapter 139 Draw the sword! Draw the sword!
Kutsurai Mayuri played with his bad taste and kept the secret.
"I really don't want to tell Captain Uzumaki this news."
"You will be very sad if you know it."
"The brilliant, sunny, bright Captain Uzumaki--" He said the last sentence almost in a way of singing praises.
Naruto knocked on the table lightly.
The spiritual pressure vibrated, causing this piece to disintegrate.
Kurotari Mayuri took a step back.
He only realized now
that Naruto had grown taller in just a few months. Before, he was half a head shorter than him, but now he was half a head taller.
"The material for forging Zanpakuto." Kurotari Mayuri grinned, "It's the soul."
Naruto narrowed his eyes.
This answer was expected and reasonable.
He had such a guess.
After all, the special nature of the "Nine-Tails" sword is there.
Borrowing the power of the Nine-Tails, it has a soul itself, so even without borrowing "Shōdachi", it can become a sword.
"Very good endurance." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said softly, "I thought someone like Captain Uzumaki would be extremely depressed after hearing this kind of news."
Naruto glanced at him coldly.
If it was before he met Aizen, he might have been "heartbroken" for a long time after hearing this news.
But now, he can ask calmly enough: "What kind of soul is it? How is it made?"
"Who knows?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri spread his hands, nonchalantly and indifferently, "Human, Shinigami, or Hollow?"
"Maybe it will be more niche, using a soul similar to your little friend Ginjo Kūgo?"
"As for how to make it"
"This is a taboo, expressly prohibited."
He only studied his own Zanpakutō, and did not specifically study things like "Zanpakutō".
Naruto stared at him: "You don't look like someone who cares about taboos."
"If the captain knew." Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked indifferent, "He wouldn't forgive me so easily."
Naruto tilted his head: "If it was Captain Kisuke, he should have taken out the forging diagram now."
Kutsuchi Mayuri's expression was stiff.
He grabbed the scroll on the table: "Since I have learned your technique, it is not good to be a person who does not keep his word."
"I will give you what you want."
"As for Urahara."
"That cowardly guy doesn't have the courage to do such a thing."
Naruto smiled brightly.
This method still works.
Kutsuchi Mayuri pushed him out impatiently.
This person is always like this
Whenever he wants to express some refusal, he always brings up that man.
But he can't deny it.
After all, that man may want to do anything.
Leave the 12th Division.
Naruto went to the Maou Spiritual Academy to ask for Asado.
Dean Bogang looked at Naruto and was a little surprised: "You want a shallow sword?"
"I wonder what you want the shallow sword for, Naruto?"
This thing is indeed very precious to those students who have not yet become Shinigami.
However, in terms of the entire "Seireitei", the importance of the shallow sword is not very high.
As long as the order of keeping and withdrawing the shallow sword is not disordered, some loss and discarding are within the permitted range.
After all,
Many Shinigami swords are picked up from outside.
Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, the captain of the 11th Division, is the most typical example.
"A friend of mine needs a shallow sword." Naruto waved his hand.
Yang Jiuwei responded and appeared on his shoulder.
"This is." Bogang was delighted and a little surprised by its sudden appearance. Of course, what was more surprising was the spiritual pressure coming from its small body. It didn't feel very strong to him, but it seemed to be only one-tenth of that, unfathomable, like an abyss with no bottom.
"This is my friend." Naruto nodded.
Hagang looked up and down at the Nine-Tailed Fox, thinking: "Is it similar to Captain Komamura?"
Komamura Sajin of the 9th Division is a very famous captain.
Of course, the reason for his fame is not his strength, but his appearance.
In the Soul Society where everyone has a human body, a "dog head" is still very eye-catching.
The Nine-Tailed Fox nodded reluctantly.
It didn't think that it was the same as the big dog.
But there are no strange creatures in the Soul Society. Only this statement is easy to be accepted by others, and there is no need to explain so much.
"Then I will register the whereabouts of this Asadachi." Hagang Yixi agreed cheerfully.
A few minutes later.
The Asadachi was in hand.
The Nine-Tailed Fox tied it to his back in a proper manner.
Naruto looked at it and felt something was strange. When he was about to return to the 7th Division’s barracks, he suddenly realized, “I said you have been lacking something. Do you want someone to make you a set of death suits?”
“No.” Kyuubi refused decisively, “Wearing clothes is a very strange feeling.”
But. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Naruto.
For more than a thousand years, it has never worn clothes. It has no such habit.
However, the Shinigami in the Soul Society, from the captain to the ordinary soldiers, are all wearing a set of death suits, except that the captains have an extra layer of haori.
It’s different in the ninja world. I don’t belong.
In the Soul Society, I am now a, um. a Shinigami!
“Then make me two sets.” After thinking for a while, Kyuubi flicked his tail, “but carrying a knife, I always feel a little out of place.”
Naruto smiled and agreed.
The soldiers of the 7th Division soon discovered the changes in their own barracks.
A cute nine-tailed fox appeared next to the captain.
Wearing a custom-made death suit and carrying a Zanpakuto, he swaggered around.
Some female soldiers thought it was the captain's pet, and they even got some pet food from the real world in an attempt to win the heart of the nine-tailed fox.
But soon, the bloody reality hit them head on.
This fox is only cute in appearance.
The mouth is real.
Captain Uzumaki is such a gentle person, but the fox who has been with him for so long is so good at scolding people.
It's okay to just scold people.
This fox is still strong.
Ordinary officers can't get close to it, and senior officers can't beat it in a few moves. Although it hasn't fought with the vice-captain yet, in the hearts of the 7th Division, they have already determined that the strength of this fox is no less than that of the vice-captain.
The most important thing is that there is a knife on its back. There is no doubt that it is a shallow knife.
In other words,
This fox is wearing a death suit not for the sake of looking good, but because it really has the "power of the god of death".
Captain Uzumaki
Where did this come from?
When the Nine-Tails was showing its power and enjoying its freedom.
During this period, Naruto finished reading Mayuri Kurotsuchi's research notes on Zanpakuto.
Of course, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's research direction was very different from what Naruto wanted.
He was more researching on the "essence of the power of Zanpakuto".
"Shikai is the power of the god of death himself, reflected on the sword".
"Bankai is the state of cultivating the self of the sword produced from it and showing it."
These contents were very inspiring to Naruto.
At least one doubt in his heart was solved.
Why can't the sword "Ashura" practice Bankai?
"Ashura" is an energy containing "consciousness" in his body, without "soul" and "self".
So, he had to wait for the Nine-Tails to complete the practice of "Bankai" before he could borrow its Bankai?
When Naruto was concentrating on studying these things.
Someone couldn't hold back and came to the door.
Office of the captain of the 7th Division.
Sui Fong sat in the corner, with almost no presence.
Byakuya Kuchiki rushed in, said nothing, and looked at Naruto coldly.
"Byakuya, what's wrong?" Naruto asked him in confusion.
Byakuya Kuchiki's tone was calm, but the coldness couldn't be suppressed: "Captain Uzumaki hasn't come to see me for almost three months."
Naruto was stunned and recalled.
During the last time he stayed in Soul Society, he took Byakuya to find Hima.
"Didn't you go during this period?" He scratched his head and asked back.
Byakuya Kuchiki didn't speak.
It was only at this time that he realized that the spiritual pressure that was not unfamiliar in the corner was not unfamiliar.
Sui Fong, the captain of the 2nd Division, was here.
"Does Captain Uzumaki have to threaten and force you to make you become a little more proactive?" Naruto smiled and said it.
Byakuya Kuchiki took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
In front of Soi-Fong, there were some things he couldn't say.
"Bai Ya, I have to remind you of something." Naruto stopped him, "How long is the life span of an ordinary soul?"
"How old is Sister Hime this year?"
"As a soul, she seems to be sixty years old."
Kuchiki Byakuya paused, his breath became heavier.
He knew what Naruto meant by just reminding him.
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Naruto stood up, "Or are you going alone?"
Kuchiki Byakuya didn't say anything, nor did he make any statement, and walked out of the room.
Four months later.
He found Naruto again.
After confirming that Soi-Fong was not in the office, his face was heavy, as if he was preparing to say something extremely sad.
Naruto's expression also tensed up.
He was a little worried. Was it because he was busy with the research of Zanpakutō during this period and didn't go to Rukongai with Hime?
When Byakuya Kuchiki spoke, it was indeed related to Hime, but the content was incompatible.
"Hima confessed to me."
Naruto was stunned and slapped the table: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you say it with such an expression?"
"I thought something happened to Hime."
Byakuya Kuchiki's expression became more solemn: "When I saw her, I couldn't control my emotions."
"Naruto."
He raised his head, his tone was subconsciously firm, but his eyes were a little weak: "I want to marry her."
"You are willing." Naruto smiled, "Then get married."
Byakuya Kuchiki opened his mouth.
Naruto took a step ahead and interrupted him: "Don't say those old-fashioned things."
"Boring."
"If you are worried about encountering any obstacles, I will support you."
"Captain Kuchiki will give me some face."
"If others object, even the captain-general, I will draw my sword against him."
Byakuya Kuchiki's expression was moved.
