Chapter 161 The Supreme Level Great Hollow

The courtyards of the First Division and the Fifth Division are both decorated with dry landscape.

But the flavors are completely different.

The captain's courtyard has a more "wabi-sabi" feel.

"The person who was caught doesn't seem to panic at all." Naruto said softly, carefully observing every subtle expression on his face.

Aizen was still gentle: "My shadow was stepped on."

"Are you worried that you can't move forward?"

As they talked, the two walked to the door of the team house.

He paused, nodded and said goodbye: "Naruto-kun, you have to work hard."

"Go faster, there is hope to catch up with me."

Naruto stopped and stared at him.

But Aizen no longer interacted with him, greeted Ichimaru Gin, and turned away.

What does this person mean?

What does it mean to have hope to catch up with him.

Is it deliberately revealing the truth so that he can be caught?

Naruto frowned and thought while returning to his own team house.

No.

Aizen's purpose has always been clear.

The only thing that can be obtained by revealing the truth is the spiritual pleasure brought by provoking the Soul Society.

As for other benefits?

It seems that there are none.

He can't even put the blame on others.

But his performance was indeed a mental preparation from the beginning.

When he arrived at the Seventh Division.

Naruto came up with a guess.

Among the graduates of this year's Shin-O Academy, Aizen sought to absorb all the outstanding students, but under his own interference, only Abarai Renji fell into his hands.

And

It is said that Abarai is about to be transferred from the Fifth Division.

His performance is excellent, but there is no suitable position for him in the Fifth Division.

Captain Aizen couldn't bear to delay Abarai's growth, and was looking for connections to try to transfer him to another division.

Of course, this is the apparent reason.

In fact.

Naruto had some understanding of Abarai. He was a man who looked brainless, but was actually smart, ambitious, and determined.

He was a samurai who held the sword forward, and would not become someone else's sword.

Aizen probably found that he was difficult to use, and that his brain and strength would make him "a nuisance" to keep around, so he found such an excuse.

So

How many companions does Aizen have around him?

Naruto thinks that there should be very few.

Or even none.

Kagura's ability of the mind's eye is here, and he has tried everyone who has had much contact with Aizen, including his friend Ichimaru Gin.

Aizen himself is very picky, and fools and idiots are unlikely to be his companions.

So, even if he is now causing great trouble to himself and the Soul Society.

He is a "horrible monster" who "sees nothing".

But the reality is that he is facing a relatively embarrassing situation. In the "Soul Society", he has no helpers. And with his own intervention, it will be difficult to find a suitable helper in the future.

In addition, Urahara Kisuke recently "exposed" his position.

Another piece of Hougyoku is right in front of him.

He is not trying to do anything, but under the current conditions, if he has not given up his ambition and wants to gain enough power to fight against the Soul Society, he can only do this.

Being caught by himself was not a "signal" he deliberately released.

It was the price he had to pay for such behavior.

It was just that he had expected it, knew what would happen, and was prepared, so he acted so calmly when he disclosed this matter.

Just as he said.

What he exposed was just a shadow.

The "shadow" can point to him, but it can't prove that it is him.

But the shadow has come out, how long can he hide?

The number of attacks on the God of Death by the Hollow has become more and more during this period.

It's just that the "special power of the God of Death" rarely appears.

But this is not entirely good news. The Hollows that appear in the real world are getting stronger and stronger.

Moreover,

Some Hollows that should not appear in the "real world" also frequently appear in the messages.

The 10th Squad Barracks.

Shiba Kaien gathered the information from several Shinigami before they died and put it in front of Shiba Isshin: "There are suspected traces of Hollows in Naruki City and its surroundings."

"This is the news sent back by the Thirteenth Squad and the Fullbringers."

"And it's not an ordinary Hollow."

"At least."

"Yachukas."

Shiba Isshin scratched his head, his face looking a little distressed: "Yachukas."

"This is very unusual."

"It seems to be the work of the enemy that Naruto mentioned."

Shiba Kaien shook his head: "Uncle Isshin, Captain Ukitake also suspects that it was that person."

"But there is no evidence."

"The spiritual pressure and spiritual wave monitoring data from the 12th Division have confirmed that there is no power of Shinigami on that Hollow, nor any trace of 'Arrancar'."

"We can't leave everything to the Seventh Division."

The Seventh Division is just the 'Inner Court Guards'. Naruto investigated those things before because he was the only one who knew the intelligence best.

And now.

There is no evidence that this Hollow has anything to do with that incident.

This kind of thing has happened in history.

Hundreds of years ago, a Hollow of the "Vastard" level attacked the Soul Society.

It is not surprising that creatures without emotions would do anything.

"I should have known not to accept the position of captain of the 10th Division." Shiba Isshin sighed, but his body movements were honest. He picked up the information, "I know, since it is a hollow of this level, only I can do it myself."

He stood up and muttered.

"It would be great if Naruto could be my vice-captain."

Shiba Haiyan was helpless: "Uncle Isshin, don't say such unreasonable and willful words."

"Kūkaku will beat you again if he knows."

Shiba Isshin was dejected and turned around to call Rangiku.

But the orange-haired beauty was not around, so he had to do it himself and prepare to go to the real world.

One hour later.

Over Naruki City.

A door through the world opened, and Shiba Isshin stepped out of it in an instant. He stretched out his hand and waved, and the Hell Butterfly fell on his fingertips.

"The taste of the real world" He was about to sigh, but his brows frowned, "Why did it become so weird."

"Forget it."

He reached out and touched the mark on his neck.

Even though this time it was a mission, the restrictions were still imposed.

"Captain Shiba of the 10th Division?" A voice came from behind.

Shiba Isshin turned around and saw a black-haired man wearing a Shinigami uniform: "Acting Shinigami, Ginjo Kūgo?"

"Are you here to pick me up?"

Ginjo Kūgo nodded: "Yes, there are no new Shinigami stationed in Naruki City now, and Captain Ukitake has given me full responsibility."

"Have you ever fought against that Hollow?" Shiba Isshin asked.

Ginjo Kūgo shook his head: "I didn't."

"But people in my organization have fought that guy."

"It was a bad situation."

"There is a person in our organization who can register all the people in the organization on the map. If there is a problem with the spiritual pressure, he can detect it immediately."

"But even so, whenever they are in trouble, I will rush over as soon as possible, but no trace of my companions or hollows will disappear completely."

"That guy is so strong that even some companions with strong self-protection ability will be killed immediately by him."

Shiba Isshin scratched his head: "That's why I have to go out in person."

"Where is Captain Uzumaki?" Ginjo Kūgo poked his head and asked carefully.

He had also heard of the reputation of Shiba Isshin, the captain of the 10th Division.

Of course, it is hard to have a good reputation.

Let him come over. Ginjo Kūgo thinks that Captain Uzumaki is better.

"Don't you trust me?" Shiba Isshin frowned and sighed.

Ginjo Kūgo shook his head quickly: "No, it's just that Captain Uzumaki may be more familiar with the present world and our situation."

"Don't worry." Shiba Isshin raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm also very strong."

"Maybe."

"About the same as that kid."

Ginjo Kūgo was stunned.

His strength is about the same as Captain Uzumaki?

This sloppy uncle?

If there was still some trust in my heart just now, it was really gone at this moment.

Can such a boastful person be trusted?

"Oh?" Shiba Isshin suddenly turned his head and looked in a direction, "It appeared."

Ginjo Kūgo was half a beat slower to look over, his face solemn.

Heavy and huge spiritual pressure.

The sky was infected with the color of "evil and chaos".

"You go back" Shiba Isshin leaned over and was about to step forward.

Before he finished speaking, Ginjo Kūgo interrupted him and said firmly, "I'll go too."

"Naruki City is our home now."

Shiba Isshin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily, "Okay, then go with me."

"But."

"If you can't bear it, just run away."

"Running away is not shameful."

Ginjo Kūgo agreed.

The two of them moved instantly.

What surprised Shiba Isshin was that the level of this deputy Shinigami was not low. He had only been a deputy captain for a few decades, but now he was at the level of a vice-captain - he grew up in this environment in the real world.

The most important thing was that he had a "deputy Shinigami certificate" on him, which restricted his spiritual pressure.

Southwest of Naruki City.

On the riverside, a small hollow was wandering.

It was very sensitive to the two spiritual pressures coming towards it, but it didn't run away, and waited generously.

"Is that a big hollow?" The two of them landed on the river bridge. Ginjo Kūgo frowned and stared at the hollow with a puzzled tone.

A large hollow

Shouldn't it be huge?

But this one was much smaller than the ones he usually met. It had a human body, limbs, torso, black armor-like skin, and a mask without any lines on its face.

The hollow in its chest was blocked by a milky white "matter".

"It's not Achukas, it's Vastod." Isshin Shiba looked heavy.

This hollow was almost the same as a human, even with thick white hair and a pair of horns on its head, which were the only "non-human" features.

Ginjo Kugo was puzzled.

"It's a large hollow, the highest-level large hollow." Isshin Shiba slowly drew out his Zanpakutō, looking serious, "This is really a big trouble."

"Achukas, you can still participate."

"His words"

"Run quickly, notify the Soul Society, and request support."

(Also! Let me adapt to the rhythm of exercise!)
