Chapter 214 Bankai and Leopard

Naruto and Nine Lamas watched carefully.

Not just to keep Ichigo safe.

It’s more about learning.

Although he practiced "Swastika" with Byakuya and Ichimaru Gin.

But I have never seen anyone else's Zanpakutō materialized.

After the two heads and nine tails said their true names, they merged into one.

Whether it is the sword of "Nine Lamas" or its own sword, we must try "Swastika".

This intuitive insight is of great benefit.

In the training ground.

Ichigo inserted the knife into the Tenshin Body without hesitation: "But this is the only way now, isn't it?"

"I don't want to be protected."

Spiritual pressure surged, and the knife in his hand was shattered into pieces and spilled into a black line, pulling up and down.

A dark figure flashed out from the black line and swept towards Ichigo.

"Your beliefs are strong, Ichigo." He spoke in a steady voice.

He is an older man with a mature and steady appearance, wearing goggles and a black windbreaker.

Kurosaki Ichigo turned around: "Uncle Zangetsu."

"Did you hear everything?" Ye Yi looked at him.

"Zangetsu" nodded: "Of course."

Yoruichi turned around and retreated to Naruto: "Fight as you like, start now."

Reiatsu spreads.

This has become the domain of "Zhan Yue".

Naruto tilted his head and stared at the figure in black trench coat.

Did he seem to be paying attention to himself just now?

And this kind of spiritual pressure is somewhat different from the serious "power of death".

Kind

The feeling between myself and Kyuubi.

Like "another power" becoming the "power of death".

"This is the embodiment." Jiulama stepped on Naruto's shoulder and muttered, "I thought it was a very gorgeous one."

"The source of power appears."

"Then this."

"We weren't like this from the beginning."

"Naruto, do you know how to perform swastika now?"

Jiu Lama also has some understanding of "Swastika", which is the most serious thing that few of them learn.

Fighting, "surrendering" is not the only way.

So does reconciliation.

If it wasn't already before, then the moment when he told Naruto his name, no matter what, it can be said to be true reconciliation.

"No." Naruto shook his head.

Jiu Lama was stunned and tilted his head to look at him.

"I can use all your power now." Naruto also turned his head. Ichigo was beaten a bit miserably. In the battle with "Zangetsu", he was at a disadvantage in all aspects, "If you go further."

"Then maybe it will take your strength, Nine Lama, to go one step further."

He didn't finish.

The Nine Lamas thought thoughtfully: "So the reason why you asked if you can bring them here is also for Swastika?"

It knew very well that it was what it told Naruto.

The power sources of these tailed beasts are "sacred trees".

so.

If you want to go further, then you need to trace the origin and try to obtain the power of the sacred tree?

Naruto nodded.

"You can give it a try." Nine Lama responded, grinning, "That sounds interesting."

Naruto continued to stare at Kurosaki Ichigo.

This is a very talented young man.

I couldn't resist it from the beginning, but after a few attempts, I was able to come back and forth. As a day passed, I was no longer at a disadvantage, and could even force "Zangetsu" to a disadvantage occasionally, but the knife in my hand broke again and again. Again and again with no results.

"It's not about surrendering, it's about absorbing." The Nine Lamas saw some problems and thought thoughtfully.

Naruto nodded: "Ichigo's condition seems to be similar to ours."

"His sword is made of Quincy power."

Jiulama swung his tail: "Then can he have three knives?"

Naruto tilted his head to look at it.

Kyuubi opened his paws: "Look."

"The Quincy has one handful of power, but what about Hollow? There is also his own Death God power. Isn't that three handfuls?"

Naruto shook his head and smiled: "It's different."

"The reason why I can have two is because you, Nine Lama, are an individual."

"But the several powers in Ichigo's body belong to him, so..."

"There should only be one sword, and it may change its form due to the awakening of power, just like you, Nine Lamas."

Sifengyuan Yeyi came over: "What are you talking about?"

Naruto and Nine Lamas were silent and made no sound.

"Are we so unfamiliar now?" Sifengyuan Yeyi sighed.

Naruto looked at her.

Not a word was said.

But his eyes seemed to contain the power of thousands of words.

"I think I can explain." She hesitated, tilting her head.

Naruto shook his head: "No need to explain, I can understand now."

"Urahara also told me before that this is a way to deal with Aizen."

Sifengyuan Yeyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But understanding and acceptance are two different things." Naruto narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Aizen's matter is more important now."

Sifengyuan Yeyi was stunned and lowered his head.

Sure enough, it was the same as what Urahara Kisuke said.

Naruto wouldn't accept this.

Two days later.

"One hundred and fifty-two swords." Zangetsu stood sideways on a raised rock, his expression calm and indifferent, "Do you really want to keep trying?"

Kurosaki Ichigo stretched out his hand: "Of course!"

He raised his head, his face not gloomy, and the corner of his grinning mouth was full of excitement: "I have seen through it!"

"There is no real Zangetsu here."

The man in the black windbreaker had a calm expression.

"Or rather, each one is a real Zangetsu." Ichigo Kurosaki held the nearest sword, "Just like you told me at the beginning."

"The more I rely on the power of Zangetsu, the weaker the sword will be."

"Is it the sword that is weak?"

"I am the weak one."

"So——"

"As long as I believe that this is the real sword, it will be fine."

He pulled out the sword and slashed at Zangetsu.

The one that collapsed was the one in Zangetsu's hand.

Ichigo Kurosaki grinned and panted: "It seems that I won."

Zangetsu did not speak, his eyes passed over Ichigo Kurosaki and fell on Naruto Uzumaki.

His body condensed and pulled, just like when he appeared, a long black spiritual pressure line surged and fell on the sword in Ichigo's hand.

"Bankai, Tensho Zangetsu."

Ichigo Kurosaki shouted, spitting out the name that had just been born in his mind.

The spiritual pressure entangled and changed his body.

The knife no longer looked like a "kitchen knife", but a "katana" style, all black.

The death suit on his body was replaced by a windbreaker.

The spiritual pressure surged, even crossing the threshold of "third class" and reaching the level of second class.

"Give the answer that satisfies the knife." Kurama murmured.

Three days later, appeared in the world.

An abandoned warehouse in Karakura Town.

"Urahara didn't dare to come to see you." Yoruichi said softly, "So I have to come and take you to see these guys."

She stretched out her hand to transmit spiritual pressure.

The void in front of her was rippling.

Not long after, the door of the warehouse opened from the inside.

"Hey, Miss Yoruichi, and... Naruto." A blond man walked out from inside, grinning and greeting happily, "Kisuke told us about this a long time ago, it's really slow to come so late."

"Captain Mako, long time no see." Naruto grinned.

Mako Hirako waved his hand: "Why call me captain? I'm not one anymore. And Naruto, aren't you the captain now?"

"Just call me Mako."

"Come in first."

He called, and a group of people walked in.

All the Shinigami who had to defect during the "Hollowification Incident" are here.

After a simple greeting.

Mako Hirako looked at Ichigo: "How much do you know about Hollowification?"

Ichigo glanced at Naruto: "Uncle Uzumaki only told me that I have the power of Hollow in my body, and asked me to learn to master this power from you."

"You told me."

"Although it is the power of Hollow, there is no need to resist. There are not a few Shinigami who master this power."

Mako Hirako smiled: "You are as gentle as ever."

"But."

"Although what you said is true."

"But it is the power of Hollow after all, ugly and evil."

As he said, he suddenly shouted: "Ah, that damn guy Aizen, if it wasn't for him, it wouldn't be like this!"

Ichigo Kurosaki's face was solemn.

Naruto smiled and comforted him: "Okay, it won't be long."

Hirako Mako pouted and continued: "Naruto, do you want to seal him first?"

"Your technique is really useful."

Naruto shook his head: "No."

"Unlike you, the hollow is Ichigo's power, not a separate power, but a part."

Hirako Mako nodded: "Is that so."

"Then we can only force it."

"Don't worry, even if your sanity is devoured by the hollow, Naruto is here and can save you at any time."

Ichigo Kurosaki nodded nervously and bowed in greeting: "Yes, then I'll leave it to you."

He thought about it, glanced at the uncle beside him, and called out a name that he thought was appropriate: "Uncle Hirako."

Hirako Mako grinned, turned his head, and looked at the blond boy: "It's incredible."

"In such a short time, Naruto, you have grown to such a reassuring level now."

Naruto smiled: "More than a hundred years, it's not short."

Hirako Mako waved and took Ichigo to the depths of the warehouse.

Sarakura Town

In the sky, an eyeball shattered.

The information was transmitted back to Hueco Mundo.

In the Hueco Palace.

An Arrancar with blue hair and a mask on his right cheek raised his head and shouted: "Lord Aizen, the boy you've set your sights on has returned to the human world!"

"Are we going to act now?"

Aizen leaned sideways and supported his head with his right hand: "Don't worry, Grimmjow."

"Did you see the blond captain in the image?"

The blue-haired Arrancar nodded.

"He is Uzumaki Naruto, the captain of the 7th Division, a very powerful man." Aizen said softly, "He has the ability to detect our surveillance."

"But he didn't destroy it, just to show me."

"No matter who it is, just kill him." Grimmjow curled his lips and didn't care.

Aizen smiled lightly: "I said, he's very strong."

"You are all the fruits of my cultivation."

"You can't be easily destroyed before you are useful."

"Knowing that Kurosaki-kun has returned to the human world, that's enough."
