Chapter 100 This is Captain Uzumaki! (Second update! Please vote!)
Naruto stood up to greet him, a little surprised: "Captain Ukitake, why are you here?"
As we all know, the captain of Team Thirteen rarely goes out. people.
As he spoke, he opened Kagura's eyes.
Ukitake Jushiro shook his head: "I am Ukitake Jushiro."
Although he didn't go there that day, Shunsui and Naruto still relayed it to him afterwards.
I know where part of Naruto's surprise comes from.
Speak deliberately to emphasize your identity.
Feedback comes back with real emotions. Naruto smiled: "Just ask Haiyan brother to come and call me."
"I have something to ask you." Ukitake Jushiro shook his head, "If Haiyan calls you over, then, then That’s so rude.”
"Although my health is poor, it's not to the point where I can't walk."
He covered his mouth and coughed twice: "It's better to come and visit."
Naruto supported him He sat down and said, "What is it? It's so serious that I need you, Captain Ukitake, to come here in person."
"Team 13 dispatched the Shinigami to a heavy spiritual place in the present world and has lost contact for nearly half a year." Ukitake Ten Shiro looked serious, "If this is just the case, just treat it as an ordinary missing contact incident."
Sending to the living world is the most dangerous task among the Gotei 13.
The level of ability has a certain impact.
But the biggest problem is actually "isolation".
There is only one Shinigami in each area, and he fights alone. If a Hollow with a little intelligence appears, he will seize the opportunity to use conspiracy and tricks, or he is strong enough to block the transmission of spiritual power. , preventing the Shinigami from sending a request for help to the Seireitei.
The fate of this god of death can almost be said to be "certain death."
So the Shinigami stationed in reality are on a rotational basis. Basically, they are replaced every ten or twenty years, and the replacement in the Chongling area should be more frequent.
This ensures the safety of the team members and also conducts the latest assessment of the present world.
Despite this, there are still gods of death who lose contact every year, and the fate of these gods of death is to die in battle.
Team 13 is very used to this kind of thing.
"But the nature of this incident is a little different from the past." Ukitake Jushiro continued, "Although the Death God has lost contact, the 12th Division sent me The news is that there are still souls buried in that area, and the ghosts have been cleaned up."
"The God of Death is performing his mission normally."
Naruto was stunned.
"So there are two possibilities now." Jushiro Ukitake sighed, "One is that the team member is still alive, but refuses to contact the Seireitei, that is."
< br>Speaking of this, he paused and uttered two words carefully from his mouth: "Defection."
After serving for too long and getting older, there is a saying of "retiring", but This is not "quitting". "Retirement" means that the Shinigami relinquishes his position as chief officer in the team, hands over his Zanpakutō to the seal, and no longer handles affairs. He can live freely in the Seireitei, but he is still under the jurisdiction of his original squad and can be called upon to mobilize when necessary. .
The key points are. "Hand over the Zanpakuto" and "Inside the Seireitei".
Live under the supervision of the Gotei 13.
It is impossible to "quit the team" and leave the Seireitei.
Any similar behavior will be regarded as "defection".
"But he is still performing the mission of a Shinigami." Naruto thought thoughtfully, "Killing Hollows and burying souls. This is not something a defecting Shinigami would do."
The defecting Shinigami want to completely erase their existence. They will not do such a thing that attracts Seireitei's attention.
Ukitake Jushiro nodded: "It is precisely because of this consideration."
"I think there may be some misunderstanding."
"If the second team or the ninth team If the team is dispatched, it feels a bit too formal."
"There are some heavy affairs in the Thirteenth Team, and it is difficult for Haiyan to get out of it."
"So I have to ask Naruto. You can definitely handle this matter.”
Naruto nodded and agreed: "No problem."
"Which area in the present world is it?"
Jutsuro Ukitake whispered: "It's a place called 'Karaka Town'."
Real world, Karakura Town.
This is a well-known heavy spirit place in the Soul Society, and it is a key surveillance area of the 12th Division.
The births of emptiness are also more numerous and more powerful than elsewhere.
In the city alley.
An ape-like Hollow was climbing in the corridors, chasing a Death God who was escaping forward.
“Why are you running?” Xu Zai smiled ferociously, its voice wild.
“You were very brave just now and drew your sword on me.”
"Why now"
"Fleeing like a little mouse."
"Is this the kind of guy Death is?"
The fleeing Death didn't reply. He walked in a hurry, panicked, stumbled, and fled to an alley.
Xu followed.
But in the alley, a high wall stood blocking the way.
The ape-like Xu grasped the wooden telephone pole, with greed in his empty eyes: "What a pity, the road is blocked, this God of Death, you seem to have no way to escape."
“So painstaking.”
“But this is how fate has arranged it, to make you my food.”
It said, falling from the sky, towards the god of death Pounce.
The God of Death raised his sword to attack, but his posture was ordinary and without training. After several attacks and defenses, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Do you still have to struggle?" Having the upper hand in the battle made the head Xu more proud and his tone became more and more aggressive, "This is fate!"
"Accept your fate!"
“You are destined to be my food——”
It could not finish its words. The god of death who was suppressed by it suddenly raised his head, with sharp eyes under his knife-like raised eyebrows: "Do you know?"
“Sometimes showing weakness to the enemy is not because of weakness.”
“It is a tactic.”
“For example, now, you have fallen into my trap. "Fell into a trap."
Xu was stunned like an ape.
trap?
Is there another god of death lurking here?
But I didn’t feel any other spiritual pressure.
At this moment when it lost its concentration.
The Death in front of him took off the necklace around his neck. It was a cross-shaped ornament.
Above it, power twists.
In an instant, it transformed into a big sword. Within less than three steps between the two, it stabbed quickly and penetrated Xu's throat before it could react.
The ape-like Xu stared at him in disbelief.
Another knife?
When will there be a second knife!
And why was it released from the necklace? Is this the beginning of death?
The man put down the other sword in his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, gritted his teeth and exerted force, slashing through Miexu, killing Miexu.
Watch the spirit being annihilated little by little.
He breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and touched his wound.
This is really a difficult enemy. If I hadn't deliberately seduced it, introduced it into such a small terrain, induced it to engage in close combat with me, and successfully used the second knife to sneak attack.
Otherwise, I will really die under this virtual claw.
He moved forward, ready to leave.
But a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
"What a smart tactic." It was a very gentle voice, very soft, but it was very obvious in this quiet and narrow alley.
“But.”
"What happened to your second knife? It doesn't seem to be the power of the God of Death."
The man paused and his body froze.
Incredible, looking back bit by bit.
Anyone?
When did you come?
When he entered this alley, he clearly confirmed with his spiritual power that there was no other person there.
The first thing that caught my eye was blond hair.
Wearing a white feather fabric over the black death-defying uniform.
He is not very tall, only a little over 1.6 meters tall.
He stood on the high wall, looking down at himself.
Even if it has been observed with the naked eye, he still does not exist in the perception of spiritual power.
I am afraid that since he entered the alley, he has been watching the battle between himself and Xu.
Small body brings huge pressure.
"Who are you?" The man swallowed and asked nervously and carefully.
"You have gained the power of the God of Death." Naruto jumped down from the high wall and walked slowly towards him step by step, "But don't you know what my dressing up means?"
The man shook his head.
"It seems that you know nothing about Death, so how did you obtain this power?" Naruto looked up at him.
This man has black hair and strong facial features.
A cross necklace that had been restored to its original shape hung on her neck.
"I inherited it from an uncle." His voice was stiff and he lowered his head, but did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the blond boy.
Naruto waved his hand gently: "Don't be so nervous."
"Please explain the cause and effect more carefully. I have enough time to listen to your story slowly."
The man took a deep breath Take a breath and move your head.
Naruto asked him to be more careful.
He started from the beginning - since he was a child.
He has had the ability of "spiritual vision" since he was a child, but when he was a child, he could only vaguely see the shadows of some souls. As he grew older, he could see more clearly.
Occasionally, you can see some hideous and hateful guys, those monsters called "virtual".
A few years ago, he met a man wearing a black Death Tyrant suit, fighting "Void" in the city, and he stepped forward to help. After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other.
But one day half a year ago.
They met a very powerful Hollow. The God of Death was invincible. Before he died, he transferred the power of the God of Death to the black-haired man. As a result, he defeated the Hollow and gained the power of the God of Death. , and the death god's knife.
"Is that so?" Naruto nodded.
The black-haired man stood nervously.
He now has some guesses about the identity of the blond boy in front of him. Should he be the "captain" mentioned by the uncle of Death?
Obviously he is a very gentle person, but when talking to him, you can feel an unparalleled courage emanating from him unconsciously.
His voice was weak: "What I told is the truth, but I have no way to prove myself."
"I know everything you said is true." Naruto grinned at him, "I can tell."
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet."
The man stood at attention and reported loudly: "Ginjo Kūgo!"
"My name is Ginjo Kūgo!"
