Chapter 230: Advancement of Time (4K)

What Muramasa said was sincere.

But Kuchiki Xianghe didn't believe it, so he kicked him away with a ferocious tone: "Really? It doesn't matter."

"You didn't show up when I needed you, so there's no point in using more excuses."

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Yamamoto Genryusai"

"And that boy from the Kuchiki family named Byakuya?"

And one last one.

He has blond hair and an appearance that has no similar template in his memory. He seems to be a newly promoted captain in recent years.

Although I don't know why this guy appears here, it doesn't matter, he is not important.

Naruto tilted his head and looked at Byakuya Kuchiki.

He was raising his hand, holding the handle of the knife, and turned around.

Naruto nodded his head.

Byakuya exerted force on his feet and ran towards the Kuchiki Xianghe River in an instant.

Whether it was because of the "Kuchiki Family" or as the captain of the "Sixth Division" to deal with a "traitor" of noble origin, he was the most suitable candidate.

Byakuya is no weaker than Kyouga.

His Zanpakutō also did not betray under Muramasa's influence.

Cherry blossoms were flying, and two black figures intertwined.

Muramasa gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to press on the ground, and propped himself up.

He was still a little unwilling.

Just haven't stood up yet.

A hand fell on his shoulder and pressed gently: "If you are so seriously injured, don't get up."

Muramasa tilted his head, looking away from the battlefield and looking directly above.

It's a head with blond hair.

that

The "Uzumaki Naruto" that he found most difficult.

But this man did not come here to take his life, nor was he in a hurry to imprison himself.

A warm feeling came from my shoulders.

This feeling means that the injuries on the body are being healed.

"Why?" he asked.

Naruto smiled: "It's just convenient."

"Xianghe has no mercy. Although you are just a sword, the Zanpakuto is not someone's property or a simple tool."

Muramasa's pupils expanded and he stared at Naruto very seriously.

Such words.

It was incredible to hear it from the mouth of the God of Death.

Very few Shinigami have this kind of understanding, which is why Muramasa's ability can lead to great success, and only a few people can escape the shackles of his ability.

No wonder, those two knives are not affected by him.

"Why?" Muramasa asked, asking the same question again.

Only this time.

This "why" was different from the previous one. He wanted to know how this person viewed this matter.

"Are you asking why Xianghe said that?" Naruto stretched out his hand and grabbed Kuchiki Sojun.

The man whose appearance was inherited by Byakuya smiled hard.

He wanted to say thank you, but his strength was gone and he couldn't even speak.

The Kuchiki family.

I accept this person's affection again.

"I think he won't lie about this matter." Naruto looked at Muramasa and nodded, then continued, "And the reason why you couldn't hear his cry"

"Although I don't know the specific situation between you, Byakuya just said something."

"I guess that's normal."

Muramasa was confused.

normal?

This is not normal at all.

How could a Zanpakutō not hear his master's call to him?

"The Zanpakutō is the heart." Naruto looked at the battlefield not far away, "When you don't look at your heart, you can't hear the Zanpakutō calling to you."

"Then, when the heart is closed or due to other reasons, it deviates from the inner path."

He lowered his head.

Muramasa murmured and uttered a sentence: "Then the Zanpakutō will not be able to hear its master's call to him."

Naruto said no more.

But this sentence seemed to touch something deep in Muramasa's heart. He tilted his head and looked at the battlefield.

"It's me."

"It harmed Xianghe."

Its whisper will not only have an effect on the "Zanpakuto", but also its master.

Naruto didn't get to the bottom of it.

Continue to look at the battlefield.

The battle between Byakuya and Xianghe was not very delicate, it was just as ugly as the battle between Muramasa and Sojun.

But the results are different.

Sozumi lost to Muramasa, and Byakuya won to Xianghe.

This is not surprising. People who believe in their hearts will naturally be better than those who abandon their hearts.

Byakuya was scarred and walked to Kuchiki Sojun: "Father, I defeated him."

Kuchiki Sojun grinned and raised his hand.

The hands of father and son were clasped.

"Byakuya is a nice little guy." The captain also fell from the sky.

Naruto nodded.

He knew very well why Byakuya did this. Not just to protect the honor of the "Kuchiki Family" on the surface, but also to prove that he is more qualified and capable than Kuchiki Hibiki to become the head of the Kuchiki Family, and for the honor of their father and son.

Xianghe was unconscious and lying on the ground.

Byakuya didn't kill him.

Naruto sealed this person with one blow and brought him back to Seireitei.

One day later, the first team was in the team building.

The post-war meeting of the "Muramasa Rebellion" was not held, and someone interfered and disrupted the captain's plan.

Naruto sat at the table.

Opposite him were several elderly guys. Judging from their appearance, they were the "New Forty-sixth Room" headed by the "Kuchiki Family" and the "Tsunayashiro Family".

"A dangerous guy like Kuchiki Hibiki should be handed over to the 46th Division for trial!" One person spoke in a restrained tone, expressing his opinion slowly, "This is a process that should not and cannot be bypassed."

"How can you bypass us and hand it over to the 6th Division for disposal." Someone else followed suit to protest.

Naruto looked at the two people who were talking, and said calmly: "Kuchiki Hibiki has not been expelled from the Kuchiki family. He is still the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family, one of the five nobles."

"Is there a problem with the nobles being handed over to the 6th Division for handling?"

The man on the opposite side gritted his teeth: "Of course there is, bypassing the Central 46th Division."

"This is about the gold seal"

Naruto frowned and interrupted him unceremoniously: "I remember that just a few days ago, you asked the captain-general to ask me what I think of the Central 46th Division."

He paused, turned his head to look at the captain-general who was resting with his eyes closed, and said in a gentle tone: "Has the captain-general not told them yet?"

"I have told them." The captain-general said without opening his eyes.

Naruto didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on these people again.

"Of course we know." The man took a deep breath, "But Soul Society has always been given power by the Soul King."

Naruto interrupted him again: "Are you trying to test how much I know?"

"Want to know if I know that the five nobles sealed the Soul King as a wedge and stole power from him?"

The pupils of the people on the opposite side couldn't help but dilate, incredible.

Some people even felt uneasy because of the fluctuation of spiritual pressure.

Naruto continued, his tone calm, without any emotion, "If you can do your best to contribute to the stability of the three realms like the Shiba family and the family guarding hell, it's not a bad thing to have this power."

"But do you want to have power for yourself or for Soul Society?"

"You shouldn't have it in the first place."

"After stealing it, if you don't use it properly, you deserve to die."

The people on the opposite side couldn't help but shudder.

The words were like knives, cold light unsheathed, and placed on their necks.

"Or rather, you are here in front of me now." Naruto narrowed his eyes and stared at the leader. "Are you worried about the power of the Central 46th Chamber, or for your own selfish desires?"

"I recognize you."

"We met at the Kuchiki family before."

"Are you involved in the matter of Kuchiki Hibiki?"

The leader lowered his head.

The man next to him couldn't help but look at the captain-general: "Captain Uzumaki, you are too presumptuous!"

"You are only the captain of the 7th Division. The affairs of the Gotei 13 should be decided by the captain-general."

"Because this matter is related to you, I let you listen in. How dare you ignore the captain-general."

His provocation did not get any response.

The captain-general sat cross-legged as if he was asleep, without saying a word, without any movement.

As an old guy who has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, he has seen all kinds of tricks. He doesn't care about this simple and straightforward provocation.

With a whoosh——

Chains surged out from behind Naruto, with the momentum of thunder and a flash of golden light.

He pierced through the provoked man's shoulder blade, lifted him up into the air, and nailed him to the door frame.

The man was shocked and widened his eyes: "What do you want to do? Attack me? Uzumaki Naruto!"

"You are from the Tsunayashiro family, right?" Naruto said softly, and with a wave of his hand, another chain flew out and nailed the other shoulder blade. "As soon as you open your mouth, the fishy and rotten smell hits you in the face."

"The captain is a good-tempered person."

"But I'm not."

"My words seem to be very clear."

"The 46th room can exist, and you so-called nobles can play whatever tricks you want. But Soul Society still has the Gotei 13, so let those of us who know better deal with it."

Some people are eager to move and want to say something.

Some people bury their heads and sneak a peek at the captain.

But the old man seems to have really fallen asleep, his head tilted, and you can even hear some heavy breathing.

"Do you understand?" Naruto lowered his voice and asked.

Silence for a moment.

He said again, "No answer?"

"I understand." Those quiet and silent guys answered eagerly.

Those who stole glances at the captain-general retracted their gazes.

The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered after the word "understand" was spoken. Even if the captain-general did not agree, he at least acquiesced to this matter.

But if it cannot manage the "Gotei 13" and "Soul Society", what is the need for the Golden Seal Council to exist.

Keep it for your own entertainment?

Naruto retracted the chain and the people hanging on the wall fell down.

They left in disgrace, no longer mentioning anything about the "Central 46" or "Kuchiki Hibiki River".

Naruto stood up, said goodbye to the captain-general, and prepared to leave.

"My quiet room smelled of blood." The captain finally opened his eyes, his face serious, "And the damaged door wall, the cost of cleaning and repairing it will be deducted from the allowance of the 7th Division."

Naruto smiled and nodded: "Just deduct it from my allowance."

The captain snorted lightly and nodded.

The "Muramasa" incident was over, and the Soul Society could finally rest in peace.

But the successive major events made many young soldiers a little nervous, and they always woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, thinking that there was another enemy attack.

In the izakaya.

"They are just too young." Kyoryaku Shunsui shook his head and held the wine glass casually, "Such a major event that threatens the safety of Seireitei is rare in hundreds of years."

"What happened to Aizen and Muramasa was such a coincidence that they came together."

"We can live a comfortable and peaceful life from now on."

Naruto, Byakuya, and Rangiku all looked directly at him.

"What's wrong?" Chun Shui scratched his head.

"I always feel that your words are very clumsy." Rangiku lay on the table and sighed, "I feel like something big will happen to the Seireitei again."

Jingraku Shunsui shouted: "How is that possible!"

Naruto looked at Rangiku and said softly: "The results regarding Ichimaru Gin's handling have come out."

Rangiku didn't move at all, her head still lying on the table, her ears twitching quietly.

"Although it was for Rangiku that he was undercover with Aizen." Naruto continued, this sentence made Rangju blush a little, "But after all, he was an accomplice of Aizen who framed Captain Mako and the others, and the second division will collect his sword. Soul Sword, let me seal part of his spiritual pressure and imprison him in the Maggot Nest."

Rangiku raised her head and said, "Is it just a nest of maggots?"

"I thought that people like him would be imprisoned in Mujian like Aizen."

Naruto said softly: "He has a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes."

"Hitting Aizen hard at the last moment is also a credit."

Rangiku shook her head, her expression softening.

"Maggot's Nest" was specially designed by the Second Division to house prisoners with the ability to threaten the Seireitei. It is considered to be one of the largest and most tightly guarded prisons.

but

After all, unlike "Wuken", a prison where even the captain has a hard time entering, the "Maggot's Nest" is only guarded by the chief officer. With Rangiku's popularity and her charm, he can get in and out relatively easily.

Naruto looked at Byakuya.

"Xianghe and Muramasa, they were imprisoned for a long time." Byakuya said, his eyes deep, "The sentence is not fixed. When Xianghe can regain control of Muramasa's power and find his own heart, he can This is the beginning of a thousand years of imprisonment.”

a thousand years

This sounds like a long time.

However, compared with the "twenty thousand years" sentence that Aizen carries, one thousand years is too short.

Things calmed down.

Haiyan successfully passed the captain assessment and officially became the new captain of the "Fifth Division".

Hobashiro Juro returned to the Seireitei and continued to serve as the captain of the "Third Division". The rest of the Masked Legion chose to stay in the present world.

Naruto dealt with many matters at hand and frequently traveled to and from the world.

He wanted to figure out why Masaki Kurosaki and almost all the Quincy lost their power.

This is very unusual.

The Quincy is also a very ancient force.

However.

Just one year later.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings were not the familiar seventh division team building. The air was humid and there was some moss creeping up the corners of the walls.

This is the hotel where the "Land of Rain" himself is stationed.

It's not time yet.

I should have stayed in Soul Society for ninety-six years.

It's not even forty years.
