Chapter 154 The man who hates himself
There is one more desk in the Seventh Division.
It is placed next to Soi-Fong's desk.
The Tenth Division values Toushirou very much. Just like Naruto's treatment back then, after joining the team, he was directly appointed as the "third seat".
And he was trained as the captain.
However.
It is a little different from Naruto in the Thirteenth Division. The captain and vice-captain let go and handed over most of the team affairs to Toushirou.
It can be said that they still have some sense of responsibility and did not let Toushirou really exercise the power of "captain".
But.
An inexperienced "cub" suddenly took over so many affairs. Although they were not difficult, they were cumbersome, which still gave Toushirou a headache, especially some things that required him to make decisions and judgments, which made him helpless.
Soi-Fong and Naruto were very patient in teaching him.
Every time at this time, the Nine-Tails always wanted to escape, but it would always be caught by Naruto.
It also needs to learn.
Five years later, Rukia and her class are about to graduate.
Naruto has been paying attention to this matter.
A few days before the "Soul Burial Ceremony".
The 7th Division's dormitory.
Accompanied by Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia rushed to the invitation.
She was a little confused.
I thought it was Byakuya who brought me here to build a good relationship with the captain.
But Byakuya said that Captain Uzumaki specially invited me.
Wait until the 7th Division's dormitory.
At the seat, there was also Captain Kyoraku Shunsui.
"Come on, sit down." Naruto greeted them.
Kyoraku Shunsui glanced at Rukia and nodded: "You really look like Miss Hime."
Rukia hurriedly greeted.
"I heard that you are one of the outstanding graduates of this year." Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and greeted, "Have you considered which division to go to after graduation?"
"Seventh Division?"
Rukia shook her head: "I"
"I want to be an excellent Shinigami."
"So I want to go to the 13th Division."
Naruto looked at her and smiled slightly: "Being protected will not affect your excellence."
Rukia thought about it and shook her head.
"Jushiro has gained a good subordinate." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, and when he reached out to the side, he was immediately bitten by the Nine-Tails.
"Where's Byakuya?" Naruto looked at another person, "I heard that Senior Ginling is planning to retire. Are you going to take over the Sixth Division?"
Byakuya nodded, his expression as cold as ever, but his tone was very gentle: "Yes, it happened in the past few years."
"Gin seems to be preparing to apply for the position of captain of the Third Division." Naruto smiled.
Byakuya thought of the snake-faced man, and his face became a little colder.
"So, there is no vacant captain position in the Thirteenth Division?" Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his palms, "It's been so long, it seems to be almost two hundred years."
The position of captain of the Tenth Division had been vacant before.
Originally, it would be filled when Naruto grew up.
As a result
After the incident broke out, most of the captains were vacant, and several replacements were selected in succession. The position of captain of the Tenth Division was replaced by Isshin Shiba, but the position of captain of the Third Division was vacant again.
"I hope nothing will go wrong this time." Naruto shook his head.
This made Byakuya a little uneasy: "Why did Naruto invite us here, and Rukia in particular?"
Naruto didn't say anything.
He was communicating with the Yin Nine-Tails in his body.
After confirming that there were no strange powers around, he continued: "Rukia's class is very impressive. Not counting her, there are Abarai, Kira, Hinamori, and these people."
Rukia was confused.
This is
Planning for me to persuade these people to join the Seventh Division?
But there is no need for this.
Captain Uzumaki is one of the most popular captains in Soul Society. Although he rarely appears in the Maou Spiritual Academy, his popularity is a few points higher than that of Captain Aizen who often appears.
Moreover, the Seventh Division has a small "Nine-Tails", so it is naturally popular.
There are many students who want to become a member of the Seventh Division.
"I put myself in that person's mind and thought about it." Naruto continued, "This is a very suitable opportunity."
"Let's see the weapons of this generation."
"Can they be polished into sharp blades?"
"And"
After so many years, Aizen's experiment on "hollows" should have achieved some results.
There is an opportunity that is suitable for attacking the god of death, and the target is suitable.
This time, the opportunity of "Soul Burial" is the best.
"Is there going to be a problem with the gate again?" Kyoraku Shunsui picked up the wine glass, shook his head and smiled, his expression light.
"Tosen is dead." Naruto shook his head, "and I'm watching him."
The culprit of the hollow incident, in everyone's cognition, is "Tosen Kaname".
Naturally
The "gate" incident connected with the "hollow incident" is also believed to be the work of Tosen Kaname.
Kyoraku Shunsui nodded.
Byakuya frowned: "That person might attack Rukia and the others, right?"
"It's just a possibility." Naruto shook his head, "I'm not too sure."
Rukia looked confused and looked at the people at the table.
Including the fox, they all knew what Naruto was talking about.
"That man"?
Who is that man?
What kind of action?
And his expression was so serious, he was a target that the three captains had to take seriously.
"But the only thing that can be confirmed is that he won't do it himself." Naruto stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and the formation unfolded. "There may only be some hollows, at most large hollows, which will not pose a big threat to Rukia and the others."
Rukia was a little dumbfounded.
Large hollows
Isn't it a threat?
"So take this." In the formation, a scroll was summoned, and Naruto handed it to Rukia, "If there is really an accident, open it."
Rukia quickly took it: "Thank you Captain Uzumaki."
Naruto shook his head: "Be careful around you and guard against any inappropriate places."
Rukia was confused, nodded, and agreed.
The meal ended quickly.
Naruto took time to go to reality.
In Urahara's shop.
"Do you suspect that Aizen may take action in this "Soul Burial Ceremony"? Urahara Kisuke touched his chin, thinking.
Naruto nodded, expressionless, and spread his hands: "The problem now is here."
"I know what he is going to do."
"But there is no good way to stop it."
"I can only give Rukia a shadow clone as a precaution."
Urahara Kisuke asked: "What do you think Aizen will do this time?"
"If he is really conducting experiments on hollows." Naruto thought, "he should release his own experimental subjects."
"Hollowification, through the gate"
"He definitely can't do anything with these."
Urahara Kisuke clapped his hands: "Then Naruto can definitely protect them?"
Naruto nodded: "The scroll I gave Rukia, even if she doesn't input spiritual power herself, will automatically open after sensing a certain danger."
"But"
"This is not the result I want."
Urahara Kisuke waved his hand: "Don't be so anxious, Aizen is a difficult guy to deal with."
"The information you sent me."
"Let me read something very interesting."
Naruto tilted his head and looked at him.
"What kind of person do you think Aizen is?" Urahara Kisuke asked.
Naruto thought for a moment: "A very proud and arrogant guy, but he is indeed very capable."
"In my opinion, he is actually a person who hates himself." Urahara Kisuke shook his head and said something that Naruto did not expect.
The blond boy's expression froze: "Hate yourself?"
"Him?"
Urahara Kisuke nodded, stretched out his hand, and summoned a file: "His ability to deceive the five senses comes from his Zanpakutō."
"Naruto, you should also know that the first release is a reflection of the inner strength of the god of death himself."
"So."
"Do you think someone with a sword like 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' is good at deception?"
Naruto subconsciously nodded.
But.
He stopped halfway through the nod.
In so many exchanges with Aizen, Kagura's heart's eye always fed back the "truth".
Even to the students of the Maou Spiritual Academy.
"Did you notice something was wrong?" Urahara Kisuke smiled and lowered his hat. "He is actually a guy who disdains lying."
"Among all the records you gave me, he actually only lied in two cases."
"One is to manipulate the Central 46th Room to convict me."
"In the final analysis, this is not actually a lie, but just concealing some facts."
"I am indeed studying the power of 'Houyu' and 'Hollow'."
"The other thing is that he has been doing it persistently."
Urahara Kisuke raised a finger.
He didn't say anything else, but looked at Naruto with an encouraging look.
"The ability of Zanpakuto." Naruto quickly realized and spoke out, "He has always claimed that his sword is a 'flowing water system'."
"That's right." Urahara Kisuke grinned and gave him a thumbs up, "You know, in the human field, there is something called psychology."
"I have also been studying and summarizing during this period."
"Aizen's behavior seems to be protecting himself, but he can conceal the ability of his Zanpakuto in another way."
"He is not the only one who can control his five senses."
"The same is true for Mako's sword."
"He just had to tell such a big lie and completely change the type of his sword."
"In fact, it means that he is denying the ability of his Zanpakuto from the bottom of his heart."
Naruto frowned.
Denying Zanpakuto?
"There are many people like this, Miss Yoruichi is the same." Urahara Kisuke smiled and said softly, "The power of the Zanpakuto is not what he wants."
Naruto wondered: "But what's the use of this?"
"Even if he really doesn't like it."
"Isn't he still using this power now?"
Urahara Kisuke leaned over and said in a very gentle tone: "Aizen is a person with great desires."
"He is pursuing to break the boundaries of the God of Death and is eager to evolve to a higher level."
"After getting stronger power."
"I think he will abandon his sword without hesitation."
(Brothers, really exercise, the 1st day of leave is to go to the hospital, you have to exercise to stay healthy.)
