Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 923: Chapter 693: The Pain Endured by an Ant Is Nothing to an Elephant

Because next...

It’s the stage for Kyoraku Shunsui!

Among all the Captains of the Shinigami in the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads, in terms of combat power, Kyoraku Shunsui should be second only to Yamamoto Shigekuni!

No Captain present would have any objections to this because they all know the power of Kyoraku Shunsui’s Zanpakuto!

If used wisely...

It is enough to overthrow any powerful enemy!

Kyoraku Shunsui’s Zanpakuto is named Katen Kyokotsu, with abilities so complex that no one in the Soul Society can grasp its true power!

Except for its master, Kyoraku Shunsui!

Once you enter the domain of Katen Kyokotsu, merely the Shikai possesses the power of rules, and no one knows the complex calculation abilities of Katen Kyokotsu’s Shikai and Bankai...

"Katen Kyokotsu... Kageoni!"

Kyoraku Shunsui muttered softly, initiating Katen Kyokotsu’s Shikai. The first ability he used was Kageoni, a move whose true meaning is just a child’s game...

During the use of Kageoni, the higher wins!

The one standing higher prevails, and the winner’s slashing power will be greatly enhanced, while the loser’s strike will be significantly weakened!

This is the ability Kyoraku Shunsui uses most often!

This is also the first ability he uses to face Uehara Naraku, and it will be the first step in his swordsmanship clash with Uehara Naraku!

Unfortunately...

The first step was met with premature death.

Just as Kyoraku Shunsui leaped into the air, Uehara Naraku’s palm suddenly flipped, pressing Kyoraku Shunsui’s body directly onto the ground!

The force of this palm was so great that Kyoraku Shunsui’s body sank into the ground, and even when he tried hard to lift his head, he could only see Uehara Naraku’s shoes...

Uehara Naraku gazed at Kyoraku Shunsui and slowly reached out into the void with his palm, and a broad Zanpakuto, like a Horse-Cutting Saber, appeared in his hand!

"Kageoni!"

Kyoraku Shunsui clenched his teeth as his body instantly disappeared from the spot, appearing within the shadow beneath Uehara Naraku!

The next moment, Kyoraku Shunsui’s Katen Kyokotsu aimed at Naraku’s body!

Kageoni!

The side stepping on the shadow is defeated!

Just as Kyoraku Shunsui’s Zanpakuto was about to pierce Naraku’s body, the target in front of him suddenly vanished from the spot!

At this moment...

Kyoraku Shunsui’s face changed dramatically!

A sharp pain appeared on his body!

Kyoraku Shunsui slowly lowered his head, seeing a blade emerging from his chest and abdomen, with trickles of blood on the edge...

Uehara Naraku’s body slowly emerged from the shadow, standing behind Kyoraku Shunsui, softly murmuring, "Child’s play will never make it on stage, don’t you think, Captain Kyoraku?"

"Is that so?"

A trace of a smile flickered across Kyoraku Shunsui’s mouth.

This Captain, who never cared about trifles, didn’t mind his injury in the least. Instead, he calmly untied a wine gourd from his body, smiling as he handed it back to Uehara Naraku behind him: "Want to... have a drink first?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku was silent for a moment, then kicked Kyoraku Shunsui, who was in front of him, to the ground, shaking his head with a blank expression: "Sorry, the education I’ve received doesn’t allow me to drink..."

"What a pity..."

Kyoraku Shunsui turned over and lay on the ground, shaking his head with a sigh before suddenly gripping his Zanpakuto tightly, murmuring softly: "The last jug of wine... Katen Kyokotsu... Karamatsu Shinju!"

A black curtain descended over the entire battlefield!

A powerful spiritual pressure appeared around Kyoraku Shunsui and Uehara Naraku, and their surroundings gradually transformed into a dim theater, with Katen Kyokotsu Zanpakuto also turning into a few pine trees as theater props!

Accompanying the emergence of this dark theater, an identical wound to that of Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly appeared on Uehara Naraku’s chest and abdomen, and blood scattered instantly!

Katen Kyokotsu’s Bankai...

Is a power of mutual destruction!

"Regretful injury sharing..."

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at Uehara Naraku, whose face remained calm, chuckling as he touched his wound and explained: "All the damage I received before activating Bankai is returned to you in full..."

"Is that so?"

Uehara Naraku’s eyebrows didn’t even twitch as he slowly shook his head: "Before using this move, didn’t you consider that an ant can only endure the damage from a single finger?"

Uehara Naraku glanced calmly at the wound on his chest and abdomen that was gradually healing, and then focused on the dumbfounded Kyoraku Shunsui, continuing softly: "And the damage of this single finger on an elephant doesn’t even scratch an itch..."

"..."

Kyoraku Shunsui’s expression finally changed.

If this is the case, then this Bankai was utterly pointless!

Regardless of how severe the injuries he suffered were, they were just light wounds on Uehara Naraku, capable of healing at any moment!

What was believed to be mutual destruction...

Turned out to be just a child’s farce!

"Perhaps I should commend it as a rather interesting ability."

Uehara Naraku swung the broad Zanpakuto in his hand, suddenly tearing apart the Bankai space of Katen Kyokotsu, and sunlight once again spilled over him!

On the battlefield.

Everyone witnessed this scene.

The god-like Uehara Naraku, holding the broad Zanpakuto, rose and severed Kyoraku Shunsui’s Katen Kyokotsu!

"Dessert before the main course was quite delicious."

Uehara Naraku glanced at the other Shinigami captains, a white light ball forming at his fingertips, splitting into sharp arrows that instantly pierced through the bodies of the other Shinigami captains!

"Having just witnessed a rather interesting Zanpakuto, I naturally don’t have particular interest in your scrap metal..."

"Bastard..."

Captain of Squad 2, Sui Feng, clutched her wound, biting her teeth in resentment, having never felt such humiliation before!

Yet, both Sui Feng and the other yet-to-engage Shinigami captains could only clutch their profusely bleeding wounds as they slowly fell to the ground...

"From here, it’s time for the main course."

Uehara Naraku slowly turned around, focusing on Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni and Aizen Sousuke. The broad Zanpakuto in his hand slowly dissipated.

"Gentlemen..."

Uehara Naraku looked at these two strongest adversaries, reaching out into the void with his hand again, continuing to ask: "Who’s up first? Or... shall we proceed together?"

This remark was somewhat too insulting to others.

Both Yamamoto Shigekuni and Aizen Sousuke are deemed capable of destroying the Soul King Palace single-handedly, yet Uehara Naraku regarded them as if they were mere ordinary Shinigami captains...

"Old me would like to say the same thing..."

The Ryujin Jakka Zanpakuto in Yamamoto Shigekuni’s hand slowly transformed, his spiritual pressure increasing nearly geometrically. The blade, like a flame, had its fire gradually retract, confined within the sword!

At this moment...

Yamamoto Shigekuni fully unleashed his Zanpakuto!

The strongest Fire-Type Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka’s liberation, after a thousand years, its Bankai form, Zanka no Tachi, finally reappeared in the Mortal World!

Though the flame on the sword body gradually withdrew, the searing heat on the Zanpakuto caused waves of heat to emerge as the surrounding air could not withstand it...

"Now..."

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni narrowed his eyes slightly, observing Aizen Sousuke and Uehara Naraku, his calm voice landing in their ears: "Who’s first... or... shall we proceed together?"

"Interesting."

Aizen Sousuke’s hand reached for the Kyoka Suigetsu beside him, slowly positioning this Zanpakuto across from him, and a phantom figure emerged from Kyoka Suigetsu, landing beside Aizen Sousuke!

This is...

The Bankai of Kyoka Suigetsu, Suigetsu Kyozo!

Aizen Sousuke’s mirror image and body each holding a Zanpakuto, with his gentle voice simultaneously reaching Uehara Naraku and Yamamoto Shigekuni’s ears: "Now there’s no need to deliberately choose opponents... Gentlemen, shall we?"
