Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 2: First meeting with Kyuubi

Naruto is a little bit uncomfortable with his new identity of "genius".

Some of them are not used to being stared at by so many "friendly" and "enthusiastic" eyes.

It was a completely different treatment from what he received in Konoha.

The huge psychological gap made him inevitably worried about gains and losses.

Worrying about whether I really have talent.

I was worried that after the “truth was revealed”, I would continue to be laughed at by my classmates and looked down upon by my teachers.

But after admission.

Naruto first learned a Chinese character phrase: "杞人忧天".

He is indeed a genius.

The four most important courses in the Shinō Spiritual Academy are "Zhan Quan Zou Gui".

"Zan" refers to kendo. The God of Death is a profession that fights with a Zanpakutō, and the sword is the other half of life.

The "punch" is a white fight, which is exactly the same as the physical skills that Naruto knows.

"Walking" is a physical skill called "instant step" that allows for quick movement.

In these three aspects, Naruto performed exceptionally well, and the best was "Instant Step". While other students were still struggling to learn the key points, Naruto had already gotten started. This movement technique was like something engraved into the body and would be activated at the slightest contact.

His talent in kendo and Hakuto wasn't that obvious, and there were people who were more talented than him in these areas.

But Naruto tried hard enough.

Moreover, he has had an outrageous body healing speed since he was a child, and he brought this ability to the Soul Society.

No matter how hard others try, their bodies can't take it and they can only train for seven or eight hours a day at most.

But Naruto can do it for fourteen hours, sixteen hours!

He wanted to realize the "talent" that Dean Pogan mentioned as soon as possible.

I want to become captain as soon as possible.

I want to find my parents and have a home soon.

Among the four courses, only in "Ghost" did Naruto's performance be average, or even a little bad.

The ghost is "Ghost Way", a kind of technique that calls upon spiritual power through chanting and transforms it into various forms, which is similar to Konoha's "Ninjutsu".

When all the classmates have learned the "number one" broken way and bound way, and started to learn the higher-numbered ghost way.

The power of "Hado No. 1, Strike" released by Naruto is still extremely ridiculous. The airflow generated by a fart is stronger than it.

This made Naruto a little distressed.

It's not that he doesn't have talent, and his learning progress is not slower than others.

I just can't use it.

This is how it is when you are “alive”, but you don’t understand why at the time.

The same is true for "after death", but after taking a course on "spiritual power" cognition, Naruto can clearly feel that the reason why he cannot perform the ghost way is because there is a strange force interfering in his body.

He didn't know how to explain it to the teacher, and was even more afraid of his own "overly worrying" things.

However, not all schools are "ninja schools" and not all teachers are "ninja school teachers". The people of Soul Society are completely different from those of Konoha. The Shinigami in charge of Ghost Path did not scold Naruto, but patiently and gently persuaded him.

After learning about Naruto's situation.

The teacher did not think that this was a lack of talent, but attributed this strange power to the fact that the spiritual power in Naruto's body was too huge and he had not yet been able to fully control it, so he had the illusion that this strange power was interfering with him.

This is a genius disease, just practice more aura control and it will be fine.

With the comfort of his teacher and the encouragement of his classmates, Naruto gradually found his confidence and also found the state he was in when he studied the "seduction technique" - it was not that he was unable to use any ninjutsu, the "seduction technique" that he spent a lot of effort to study was very good.

Although the progress in the ghost path is slow, it is visibly improving.

Good academic performance.

Life is going well too.

All his classmates like Naruto very much and take good care of him. It has nothing to do with talent, but age. Naruto is the youngest in the class, no matter if he was twelve years old when he was alive or only three years old after his death.

Two months later.

The new students are stable, those who should drop out have dropped out, and it is also the knife-giving day for this class.

In one class.

The teacher said loudly: "It's finally time."

"The day you will be granted your Zanpakutō."

"From today on, you can be called trainee Shinigami until you graduate."

As he said this, he knocked on the table.

"It's time to tell you about the graduation rules of the Shin'ou Spiritual Academy."

“There are two ways to graduate.”

"One is to complete six years of study and graduate. Even in our class, the best class this year, this method is the only graduation option for most of you."

"The other way is to learn Shikai and graduate early."

"Such geniuses are rare." "It is even rarer to find someone who has mastered the Shikai and graduated in the first grade."

“But maybe this year one of us will emerge.”

Almost at the moment the teacher finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to one person.

The little blond guy sitting in the first row.

"Teacher, I..." Naruto scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

The teacher rubbed his head and said, "I'm very optimistic about you becoming the youngest captain!"

With his other hand he grabbed a handful of Asauchi and placed them in front of Naruto: "The Zanpakutō that are distributed to you now do not have a name yet, or rather, they only have a standard name now, called "Asauchi."

"Remember one thing."

"The Asada is not a gift to you, it is temporarily leased by the Maou Spiritual Academy."

"It will not be officially granted until you graduate and join the 13th Division, or the Xing Army or other institutions."

"Remember the following words!"

"During the lease period, it is not allowed to be given to others."

"Don't lose it."

"If the above situation occurs, or if the shallow hit is damaged or broken, you must report it to the Spiritual Arts Academy immediately."

"Otherwise, you will face severe punishment."

The teacher's expression and tone were extremely serious.

The students nodded heavily in agreement.

It wasn't until the last person got the shallow sword that the teacher's expression eased a little: "Now let's try the blade Zen as I taught you in the previous class."

"Use your spiritual power to feel the call of your own sword."

Blade Zen.

It is a kind of practice of the god of death.

In meditation, use spiritual power to resonate with the Zanpakutō and achieve the purpose of communicating with the Zanpakutō.

Being able to communicate with the knife is the first step to liberation.

Only by knowing its name can you use its power.

Naruto closed his eyes and placed the knife on his knees.

The spiritual power just came into contact with the knife.

My consciousness was suddenly pulled with great force, as if a deep pit suddenly opened up beneath me, and I fell into weightlessness.

Wait until you come back to your senses.

It has already appeared in a damp and dark underground sewer.

Naruto looked around with a confused look in his eyes.

where is this?
Another world?
But he quickly denied the idea.

He could feel that there was a familiar force here, the same force that interfered with him when he released his "ghost way".

This is probably what the teacher called the "inner world".

Can.
Generally speaking, mastering Shikai is just hearing the sound of the sword. Going deep into the inner world is something that only the Shinigami who have mastered Shikai and further learned "Bankai" can do.

Is my talent so strong?

Also, where is the soul of the Zanpakutō?

Naruto stood up and walked along the road.

The end will come soon.

A tall and huge red fence gate blocked the way. It was dark behind the gate, as if something was living there.

Heavy breathing, undisguised malice, a fleeting glimpse of red, like a flame that consumes everything.

"Hey, kid." The huge creature behind the door moved and called out.

Naruto responded, "I'm here."

"Come closer." It called again.

Naruto walked closer.

With a whoosh, the wind blew hard.

The huge claw stabbed mercilessly, hitting the door with a "clang". The long claw blade passed through the gap and stopped in front of Naruto's throat at the critical moment, almost gouging it in.

"You're so brave, little brat."

"You didn't even dodge."

Naruto grinned, showing a bright smile: "Why should I hide? You won't hurt me."

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto."

"What is your name, can you tell me?"
