Chapter 112: Kira

The ghastly and sharp roar of the Shinigami was as tormenting as the sound of nails scraping on glass.

Clutching its head, the Shinigami's eyes suddenly widened, and an overwhelming black aura along with an unusual chakra burst forth.

But at that moment, the Shinigami's eyes briefly returned to normal, and a familiar yet strange chakra seemed to be trying to prevent its hollowfication.

This chakra?

Ryujiro frowned.

It was similar to the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan previously found in Hinata.

Could it be that Hagoromo Otsutsuki has intervened?

Though the Hagoromo had died, his chakra had always watched over this world from the Pure Land, monitoring the development of the shinobi world.

Interesting.

So, you've finally made a move.

Ryujiro's lips curved into a faint smile.

However, such a small trick could not prevent the hollowfication.

In an instant, an immense spiritual pressure descended, causing the entire base to shake violently under its influence.

"Is this Ryujiro-sama's spiritual pressure?!"

"Incomprehensible!"

Outside, Kimimaro's face showed a look of shock.

Sasuke and Gaara immediately knelt on the ground, their souls seemingly on the verge of being torn apart by this overwhelming spiritual pressure.

Was this Ryujiro's true power?

The mere pressure rendered them immobile. What kind of monster had Konoha given birth to?

Gaara now realized that Ryujiro's words might not be impossible to achieve.

If the shinobi world was truly unified, would wars never break out again?

.....

"Subarashi."

"Ah~, so this is Ryujiro-kun's power!"

Orochimaru displayed an intoxicated expression.

Even though his soul felt as if it was being torn apart by the spiritual pressure, his eyes still showed excitement.

Because this was the power he longed for.

"Boom—"

The chakra on the Shinigami's body instantly turned into mist and dispersed, with the azure chakra dissipating before their eyes.

"Buzz—"

A black hole gradually appeared on the Shinigami's chest, with black energy transforming into a chain passing through his chest, making him roar like a beast.

The white mask on his face looked even more ferocious, making him appear more like a true Death God.

The Shinigami was gradually transforming into a Hollow.

In an instant, a suffocating aura filled the entire base. Feeling this spiritual pressure, Kimimaro couldn't help but shiver.

This spiritual pressure...

It's not from Lord Ryujiro!

Could it be from Lord Orochimaru?

No, it's not.

This spiritual pressure is even deeper, making it feel as though all things are heading towards death.

A humanoid Hollow appeared in front of Ryujiro, and unlike ordinary Hollows, this spiritual pressure was many times stronger than Kimimaro.

An Adjuchas!

Then let me see if I can perform an Arrancar transformation.

Brilliant light swirled as the Hogyoku floated at Ryujiro's fingertip.

Seeing the Hogyoku, Orochimaru's heart trembled.

Was it this object that created monsters called Hollows?

Eternal life could be achieved through this treasure.

Though curious, Orochimaru didn't harbor greed, knowing that having such thoughts would not only distance him from eternal life but also risk his life.

Besides, he wasn't confident in dealing with Ryujiro.

"Roar!"

The hollowfied Shinigami let out another deafening roar.

The Hogyoku's power bestowed the hollowfied Shinigami with its strength, making the massive figure undergo another transformation.

His vicious eyes gradually showed a trace of confusion, and the chaotic spiritual pressure began to stabilize and converge within his body.

The immense spiritual pressure turned into a curtain-like energy, enveloping the hollowfied Shinigami, much like Kimimaro's Arrancar transformation.

What would be the abilities of the Shinigami after becoming an Arrancar?

Ryujiro was extremely curious.

The essence of the Reaper Death Seal was to seal, but it also involved soul devouring, with the soul being permanently sealed within.

Gradually, the swirling spiritual pressure stabilized, with the shroud around the Shinigami receding like a tide.

A man about 1.8 meters tall, with a mask resembling the previous Shinigami on the right side of his head, looked confusedly at Ryujiro and Orochimaru before him.

After a short while, a spark of clarity appeared in the Shinigami's eyes, and he knelt before Ryujiro, respectfully saying, "Master."

Ryujiro looked surprised at the Arrancar-transformed Shinigami.

He adapted to his body so quickly, truly extraordinary.

"It seems it was a success."

"Do you remember your origins?"

Ryujiro asked.

"I remember, Master."

"I was a Shinigami born in the Pure Land, able to manifest in the shinobi world because of ninjutsu."

"Our manifestation in this world requires the soul of the one who performs the ninjutsu."

Pure Land?

Orochimaru noted these unfamiliar words.

Pure Land...

Does such a place really exist as the domain of Shinigamis?

Most ninjas are unaware of the Pure Land.

Only someone like Ryujiro, who knows many of the shinobi world's secrets, knows that the Pure Land is where the souls of the dead belong.

Moreover...

The souls of previous Hokages have disappeared, indicating they have returned to the underworld.

But these things weren't important since Ryujiro had no intention of hollowfying their souls.

"Shinigami..."

Ryujiro pondered something as he looked at the Death God.

Calling him simply Shinigami seemed odd, so Ryujiro decided to give the Arrancar-transformed Shinigami a name.

"Kira..."

"From now on, you will be called Kira."

After some thought, Ryujiro finally came up with a name.

"Thank you, Ryujiro-sama, for bestowing me a name."

Ryujiro had already prepared clothes, similar in style to the Espada uniforms from Bleach, mostly simple white.

Kira's hair was different too; after hollowfication, it had turned white.

"Ryujiro-kun."

"My soul has now completely returned. Does that mean I can too?"

Orochimaru's eyes revealed longing.

Ryujiro shook his head, "It's not the right time. If you only hollowfy to the Gillian level, it's meaningless.

I need to prepare the nutrients you need after hollowfication to allow you to evolve."

"So..."

Ryujiro patted Orochimaru's shoulder.

"Wait a bit longer, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru's face stiffened with disappointment, his ears drooping.

Still not yet...

Orochimaru dreamed daily of attaining immortality.

Now, with his soul intact, he still couldn't hollowfy immediately.

Seeing Orochimaru's disappointed expression, Ryujiro sighed helplessly.

It wasn't that he was stringing Orochimaru along, but for Ryujiro, a Gillian-level Arrancar was insignificant, especially for someone like Orochimaru, a Kage-level ninja.

Gillian were just lower-class Hollows. If Ryujiro helped Orochimaru hollowfy at this level, it would waste his potential.
