Chapter 46: *Spoiler*

Naruto should be grateful that these people have lost their sanity.

They have no tactics, relying solely on brute force.

They won't even release their swords, which could make the situation more complicated.

However...

Even so, the Captains and Vice-captains, with their centuries of experience and countless battles, possess ingrained combat instincts that are exhausting to deal with.

He must not get hit.

He also needs to find a way to seal them.

What a headache...

While Naruto was dodging.

Shinji Hirako struggled to lift his head, with bone covering most of his face. One eye was pitch black and hollow, devoid of reason, while the other still retained a trace of human sanity.

He clung to this sanity and, with his last strength, shouted: "Naruto, if you can seal us."

"Cut off our hands or feet if you must."

"Don't be a coward!"

"If you can't, then leave quickly. Don't pity us and get yourself..."

Before he could finish, the bone fluid engulfed his face, sealing away his last bit of sanity.

Shinji Hirako fell.

His mask was deathly white, extremely evil, yet sorrowfully sacred.

Naruto gritted his teeth and raised his sword high.

"Rage, Pain, Fear, Corruption..."

"Hear The Wailing Bloom!"

"Demon Fox Nine-Tails!"

The chakra cloak wrapped around him, six tails swaying.

He swallowed the sword.

White bones grew on his arms and face.

Just like those who had "Hollowfied," he looked even more menacing.

But the color of the bones was vastly different.

The bones of the Hollowfied ones were dead and dull.

While Naruto's exoskeleton gleamed white, as if about to sprout flesh.

But this did not improve the situation much.

The number of attackers increased, flanking him from all sides, making his situation unbearable.

Relying on "Shadow Clones" as bait and his Shunpo speed, he barely avoided getting hit.

But...

This was the limit of what Naruto could do.

He couldn't find an opportunity to seal these people.

Even if the Shadow Clones bought enough time to perform "Adamantine Sealing Chains," the next second, they would kill the clones and immediately attack him.

Making previous efforts futile.

"Third Seat Uzumaki!"

Someone called out to him.

Naruto looked over.

It was Vice Chief Kid Corps Hachigen Ushōda, clutching his arm, panting heavily, but with a resolute expression: "Leave quickly!"

"This is beyond what we can handle."

"Let the other Captains come to assist."

Naruto gritted his teeth.

Should he leave?

They had all Hollowfied, even the Vice Chief Kidō Corps had fallen.

Seven Hollowfied Captains And Vice-captains.

Only he remained sane.

The more enemies there were, the greater the pressure, and if he stayed any longer, he would eventually get injured.

But...

These were his teammates, his caring senpais.

Naruto clenched his fist.

The title of "genius" was crushed at this moment.

Power.

He needed more power.

Six tails were not enough; he needed even more power.

Should he transform into the seven-tails?

But that wouldn't be a qualitative change, and it wouldn't allow him to seal the few before him...

Moreover, there was the huge risk of losing control.

"Call My Name."

Suddenly, a voice came to his ear, mature and steady.

Naruto was stunned.

Who was speaking?

There was no one sane left.

"call my name!"

Then another voice, different from the first, young and urgent, like a child.

While dodging attacks, Naruto looked down at the other sword at his waist.

The voices came from it.

The two voices called out again, no longer chaotic but clear, one after another.

They spoke two names.

Representing their names.

Naruto reached out and gripped the hilt, taking a deep breath, his expression firm.

Not far in the forest.

Ichimaru Gin marveled: "Is this the Shikai of Third Seat Uzumaki?"

"It really looks like... Hollowfication."

"No wonder Aizen-sama values him so much."

Sosuke Aizen smiled faintly: "His brilliance is even more dazzling than seven years ago."

"Gin, did you know?"

"Jewels need to be polished to become magnificent."

Ichimaru Gin did not speak.

A thick, fake smile plastered on his face, he stared straight ahead, his fists clenched tightly within his sleeves, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Naruto stood in the air, releasing the liberation.

He pulled the sword out of his abdomen, holding it in his left hand, corresponding with the sword in his right.

"Is he giving up because he can't hold on anymore?" Ichimaru Gin couldn't help but ask.

Sosuke Aizen shook his head.

He curiously stared at the other sword.

Already sensing something.

Naruto raised both swords, his expression resolute.

That weak but urgent voice made him feel even closer.

But now, he needed more powerful strength.

Since it's a dual aspect...

Use it for himself!

Spiritual pressure surged, swirling through the void.

He began chanting, with a different liberation phrase than before.

"Howl In Sorrow, Sing In Compassion, Revolve In Anger..."

On the dark red sword, spiritual pressure bloomed, golden light stained the red velvet ribbon.

The sword's form changed, shortening from the "katana" style to a "short sword" about two-thirds of its original length.

The hilt had two circles resembling "Whirlpools."

The entire sword shone golden, with a pitch-black tomoe ornament on the hilt.

In Naruto's mind, at the end of that underground waterway, the Nine-Tails suddenly opened its eyes, its massive body standing up, incredibly shocked.

This power...

Why could he sense this aura?

He should have died more than eight hundred years ago.

Yet now, it suddenly appeared on this brat.

Was it the power of that thing called "Zanpakuto"...

Shinji Hirako and Kensei Muguruma approached.

Naruto gritted his teeth, looking at them, and called out the names of the two swords—

"Nine-Tails Ashura!"

The combined power of the two swords caused a strange transformation in his body.

The Tailed Beast's power surged, coating his body with an outer layer.

It was no longer that evil, ferocious dark red, but a radiant, semi-transparent gold like the sun.

Tightly enveloping Naruto.

Another four arms symmetrically grew out.

Six-armed golden body, dual swords.

Holy and brilliant.

Naruto swung his sword to slash at the two approaching figures.

The other two arms moved, forming seals and clasping together.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

The power of this technique was stronger than before.

Thicker, more numerous golden chains surged out, whipping towards the attacking Hiyori from the left.

Binding her and slamming her into the ground.

His chanting did not stop.

"Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel.

"With light, divide this into six."

"Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō (六杖光牢, Six Rods Prison of Light)."

The direction pointed by the last two hands was towards Mashiro Kuna, the Vice-captain of the 9th Division.

Six large golden rods flew out, pinning her body, forcibly binding her in place.

Among the trees.

"Did the other sword also release?" Sosuke Aizen watched, his eyes bright.

"The power of Kido and techniques has increased so much."

"This is not something that his current spiritual pressure can release."

"The second sword's amplification of Kido."

Ichimaru Gin responded with a smile: "He seems to have become more interesting."

"Aizen-sama, should we..."

Sosuke Aizen shook his head, his smile gentle but his tone cold and indifferent: "Strong dishes are meant to be eaten."

"Left on the table, they will spoil and contaminate."

"Please, take action."

On his other side.

A blind man with a star-shaped afro nodded, immediately responding: "Yes, Aizen-sama."

He wore a white sleeveless haori.

But this did not signify a "Captain."

On the back, the words "Muguruma 9th Division" were clearly visible. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was the 9th Division's Special Unit Uniform.
