"Zanpakuto? So that's how it is."
Hearing Borsalino's words, Unohana suddenly understood. She now realized where that faint sense of familiarity with Borsalino came from.
As a Captain-level Shinigami, Unohana had naturally completed the training for her Zanpakuto's Bankai. The first step in a Shinigami's Bankai training was to possess the Reiatsu to materialize their Zanpakuto.
Wasn't Borsalino's current state exactly like a Zanpakuto materialized within the Inner World?

That being said, as the leader of the Intelligence Division, Kyoraku couldn't claim to be completely unaware.
The eerie atmosphere in the Seireitei over the past few days had all stemmed from Captain Kuchiki of the 6th Division recommending his son-in-law, Kuchiki Koga, for the Captain Assessment.
For ordinary Shinigami, taking the Captain Assessment was straightforward: pass and become a Captain, fail and be rejected.
But with someone like Koga, it was neither explicitly ap...

"Hey! Shikamaru! Choji! Ino!" Naruto, sharp-eyed, spotted them immediately and instantly forgot his impatience from waiting. He waved his arms excitedly, calling out to them in a loud voice.
"Over here! Over here! Come quick!"
"It's Naruto and the others!" Hearing Naruto's loud voice, Ino pulled a somewhat reluctant Shikamaru and a Choji focused on his potato chips over.
"Yo, good afternoon, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino." Menma also nodded slightly in greeting.

Life at the Ninja Academy gradually settled into a routine flowing at a gentle pace after the dramatic self-introductions on the first day of school.
The tender green leaves grew increasingly lush, and sunlight filtered through the classroom windows, casting warm patches of light on the neatly arranged desks. The air was a mix of chalk dust, the smell of new books, and the unique, slightly sweaty vitality of children.
Menma sat by the window, propping his chin with one hand. His g...

"Summoning Technique: Gedo Statue!"
In a spacious cave, a White Zetsu’s clone with Rinnegan clasped its hands together, then slammed them onto the ground.
The next moment, the Rinnegan began extracting Chakra from its body.
Soon, the clone withered into a dried-up state.
But even after the White Zetsu’s clone was drained into a vegetable crisp, there was no sign of the Gedo Statue being summoned.
"Still not working."
Black Zetsu stepped forward, retriev...

Even in the end, when Naruto himself entered the seal space and actively looked at Nine-Tails, the large fox still pretended to be asleep and did not reveal its name.
"So, what is Nine-Tails' name?"
"If he doesn't tell you himself, then it's meaningless… that's what Big Bro Gyuki said."
B relayed Gyuki's words to Naruto.
Hearing this, Naruto just smiled and didn't press further.
Compared to when he first learned that his parents died by Kurama’s hand, he no l...

The moment the spell hit him, Lockhart hadn't reacted yet.
He thought his mouth had just stumbled, failing to successfully cast the Memory Charm. It wasn't until he tried to recite the incantation again and wave his wand that he realized his body was stiff, frozen in place!
This sent him into a state of utter panic.
This was different from being ambushed and caught by the Albanian Aurors last time.
This time, he was currently in the act of assaulting a wizard.

The 200th floor of Heaven's Arena was the highest peak in Tonpa's life, without a doubt.
Unfortunately, before he could even savor the thrill that came with this status, Law dragged him away.
After bidding farewell to Killua and Wing, the trio of Law, Biscuit, and Tonpa boarded a car and left Heavens Arena, heading toward the airport.
The trial by combat at Heavens Arena had concluded, and the ship Ellie was preparing would take at least three more months to complete.

Now that third seat Kuchiki is no longer in the Seireitei, how can he pose a threat to it? Isn't this me protecting the Seireitei?"

Kyoya shook his head, "As long as Captain Kuchiki and Captain-Commander Yamamoto know there is an even greater threat above you, they won't pay you much attention."
"An even greater threat?"
Koga frowned.
Although he had grievances against Ginrei and Yamamoto, Koga did not wish for Ginrei to actually face any life-threatening danger.

What could he do? The situation was stronger than he was.
In terms of pure combat power, even combined, the two brothers were no match for Naruto alone.

Tonpa couldn't even force a smile now. He could clearly feel his strength rapidly draining away, and the thought of his precious life energy slipping away made his heart clench.

The chill of late autumn had been replaced by the biting cold of early winter. The air was dry and freezing, breath misting into frost. Bare branches stretched out against the gray sky, desolate yet carrying the crisp clarity unique to winter.

He had never felt it before.
And so, he was very uneasy.
