Hollow in Pure Land

"Night falls, Hyakki." Shion came to the empty palace and began her own Shikai.

After releasing her Shikai, her demeanor turned icy cold as she stepped without hesitation into the black gate.

"Huhuhuhu." The world behind the door was covered in sand and dust.

In the endless desert, countless balls of light were moving about in an orderly manner.

Looking up, there was no sun, but the high temperature was somewhat unbearable.

Shion's bare feet landed on the hot sand and stepped forward.

No matter how hot the sand was, Shion's expression was always cold. Her pair of tender bare feet were even more spotless, and there were no burn marks.

But if one looked carefully, it would find that Reiatsu was wrapped in her delicate foot, so that she would not be roasted by the high temperature.

This was the first time Shion came to the Pure Land, so she was full of curiosity about everything.

She had heard what others said.

Naruto belonged to the Pure Land, so after entering the Pure Land, Naruto's strength increased by leaps and bounds.

But strangely, Shion did not have this kind of feeling.

She only felt that the aura of the Pure Land made her very comfortable.

Just like a traveler returning home.

She had a feeling that cultivating in the Pure Land would yield twice the result with half the effort.

However, she did not improve her combat strength in time or Reiatsu.

She strolled in the Pure Land, hoping to find a way to contact Naruto.

Soon, she saw a strange black dot in the distance.

Moreover, the black dot was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

After she took a few more steps, she could see the appearance of the black dot.

It was an ordinary big Hollow, Gillian.

"What an ugly monster. Is this Hollow that Naruto mentioned?" A trace of disgust flashed in Shion's eyes.

She stretched out her right hand, and in the next moment, a purple Sword appeared in her hand.

"Hua." With a slash, Hyakki rolled up the airflow, and the boiling Reiatsu attached to it was shocking, directly cutting Hollow in half.

Shion, who already possessed Kage-rank's strength, was naturally not someone that an ordinary Hollow could defeat.

Shion continued to walk forward.

Along the way, he could always see some of Hollow scattered in the desert.

They would kill each other and devour bodies of their kind.

Once the devouring process was completed, the Reiatsu in their bodies would have a slight increase in strength.

When there are no fellow beings to devour around them, they turn their gaze toward the clusters of light that symbolize souls. They exhaust all their power, chasing and running, attempting to devour those clusters of light.

However, the growth of the balls of light was so small that it was almost negligible.

Shion did not stop all of this. Only when Hollow tried to attack her would she attack and kill them.

In her opinion, this was Naruto's world, and Naruto was the king of the Pure Land.

She could not change the Pure Land without permission.

After walking for almost ten minutes, Shion was a little impatient.

She did not find a way to contact Naruto.

Just as she was about to return, she suddenly saw a figure that was different from Hollow. It was a human figure.

Sitting on a rock in the desert was a Hollow with a humanoid form. He leaned on a massive sword with his right hand, wearing a rather desolate expression.

This was a Adjuchas.

"Ka." Shion's bare feet stepped on the sand and made a noise, startling this Adjuchas.

Adjuchas slowly turned his head, and Shion also saw his appearance.

This was a middle-aged man with short black hair. His face and body were wrapped in bandages. His skin was a little dark. It was obvious that he had been exposed to the sun for a long time and was not born like this.

"His previous life was as a Ninja." Shion thought.

"Who am I? Who are you?" Seeing Shion who was completely different from other Hollows, Adjuchas stood up, his eyes full of doubts.

"I didn't expect that there is already an Adjuchas in the Pure Land," Shion said coldly.

"Adjuchas? Is that me? Who are you? Tell me!" Adjuchas clutched his head, looking extremely pained. Then, he looked at Shion with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Naruto once said that Adjuchas is Gillian's advanced transformation. Ordinary Gillian has strength close to Jonin and can match Jonin in actual combat. Then, Adjuchas should be close to Kage-rank." Shion was calm and collected. Zanpakutō aimed at Adjuchas.

"Adjuchas' birth is extremely difficult. I can't kill him."

"Roar!" While Shion was thinking, Adjuchas pulled out Kubikiribōchō who was stuck in the sand, and took the lead.

The powerful Kubikiribōchō directly caused the falling sand to stop for a moment and fiercely chopped towards Shion.

"Hadō #4. Byakurai." A white light shot out from Shion's fingertips and landed in the area where Adjuchas was located. The white light flashed, accompanied by a loud and intense explosion.

Adjuchas was blown back a few steps.

The mask of flesh and blood, all things, flying high into the sky and crowned with the name of a human! The heat and heat were chaotic, and the sea-defying waves swept towards the south, moving forward!

"Hadō 31. Shakkahō." Along with the chanting, the fire-filled Adjuchas.

Although Shion's strength had reached Kage-rank, her control over Kidō was not enough, so she was unable to smoothly release Kidō.

"Boom!" After the explosion, Shion thought that Adjuchas had lost his fighting strength, but she was surprised to find that Adjuchas only had some wounds on his body, and she was not seriously injured.

"Whoosh." Adjuchas approached Shion and struck out again with Sword.

"Although it is for Adjuchas, have you not come into contact with Shinigami's power?" Shion used Shunpo to easily dodge.

"If I can break the upper limit of my power and condense Arrancar, I will be able to reach a higher level and possess Shinigami's power."

Shion muttered to himself.

This was all the information that she had learned from Naruto.

She knew that Naruto wanted to increase his subordinates.

All of Hollow was her potential target.

Therefore, Shion would not hurt Adjuchas. Instead, he was willing to give him directions.

"Arrancar?" Hearing this unfamiliar yet soul-throbbing word, Adjuchas was stunned.

"I won't play with you anymore. Goodbye." Seeing this, Shion revealed a meaningful smile.

She stretched out her hand.

"Bakudō #30. Shitotsu Sansen."

As soon as she finished speaking, three huge, sharp, pointed, pointed rays of light fell, fixing Adjuchas' hands and waist to the surface of the desert to block his movements.

"Goodbye." After doing all of this, Shion lightly stepped on her bare feet and quickly disappeared from this area.

"Who am I?" That Adjuchas suddenly lay in the sand, muttering softly.

After leaving the Pure Land, Shion couldn't help but feel a bit depressed.

There was no way to contact Naruto in the Pure Land.

Because of this, she used Shikai to summon a purple ghost.

She ordered it to take a human form and write a letter full of affection.

"Send this letter to Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto. Remember, do not let anyone find it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The purple ghost that received the order immediately disappeared from the palace hall.

This was one of Hyakki's abilities.

Exorcism.

Although this ability was powerful, it had a flaw that could not be ignored.

The negative emotions of the evil ghost needed to be satisfied.

This also meant that during the time of the mission, there would be unfortunate ninjas or civilians who would be devoured by the evil spirit.

Shion originally did not want to use this ability.

But there was no way to contact Naruto in the Pure Land.
