Chapter 221: I

"Are Itachi ready?"

"I’m going to attack!"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s voice had just fallen when he appeared in front of Rangiku Matsumoto almost at the same time.

This scared Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Could this be... Shunpo?"

"No, no! Shunpo is more like a movement technique; it ultimately achieves the effect of flashing through physical movement."

"And what Itachi just used is more like Sonido!"

This is a skill of the Hollow, and only a super-large Hollow that has become an Arrancar can possess such a skill.

Rangiku Matsumoto was already a bit panicked.

She didn't expect that someone in the living world could possess such an ability.

This was simply too heaven-defying!

Just as Rangiku Matsumoto was preparing to respond, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s lips revealed an evil, charming smile.

"Sorry, I’m afraid I won this time."

"Sage Art: Rasengan!"

Accompanied by a roar, the Rasengan containing Sage chakra hit Rangiku Matsumoto’s lower abdomen directly.

In pain, Rangiku Matsumoto couldn't help but let out a low moan:

"Kage..."

He had to say, this sound was still quite numbing.

However, although Rangiku Matsumoto was in pain, the Reanimation body possessed extremely domineering strength.

He saw the Sage Art Rasengan’s chakra explode instantly upon contact with Rangiku Matsumoto’s body.

Countless cyclones tore Rangiku Matsumoto’s body into pieces.

In the next second, those shattered parts miraculously healed, and except for her torn clothes, her body seemed as good as new.

Watching everything happening before her eyes, Rangiku Matsumoto was a bit incredulous.

"This is too magical. Have the people of the living world become so powerful?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled: "Do Itachi think I have the ability to break into the Soul Society now?"

Rangiku Matsumoto bit her red lips and sighed: "Although I admit your strength, Yhwach is definitely not someone an ordinary person can imagine. I know Itachi are a good person, and I don't want Itachi to go to your death."

These were indeed her true words. Although she couldn't explain why, as long as she saw Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s face, she would inexplicably have a sense of trust and want to be closer.

However, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye just waved his hand: "Yhwach’s goal is the Soul King. Itachi should know what will happen to the Soul King Palace if the Soul King is missing."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s words left Rangiku Matsumoto speechless.

Indeed, the Soul King Palace was the place that supported the three realms.

Back then, in order to maintain the stability of the three realms, the Soul King chose to let those nobles manipulate him, even knowing what they were planning.

In the end, he was directly carved into a human stick and placed in the Soul King Palace.

It could be said that if something happened to the Soul King, the three realms would also cease to exist.

This included the living world.

This was also Yhwach’s ultimate goal.

He wanted to destroy the world; his starting point was no different from Obito and the others.

It was just that the form of expression was not quite the same.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye certainly wouldn't sit idly by.

If one had to find meaning in everything while alive, wouldn't that be too tiring?

Living itself is the meaning.

Besides, he still had so many children to have.

If the world collapsed, how could he play happily?

"Miss Rangiku, Itachi have seen my strength. If Itachi let me go to the Soul Society, the battle situation will definitely change drastically."

Rangiku Matsumoto’s heart wavered; she had to admit that Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had this ability.

At first, she only felt that she was controlled because her abilities were restricted by being turned into a zombie...

Now it seemed it didn't have much to do with that.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye was actually able to kill that terrifying monster, Giselle.

One must know that this Giselle had turned many captains and lieutenants, including Hitsugaya and Kensei, into zombies with her own power.

According to reason, this Giselle’s strength should be more troublesome than a captain-level Shinigami.

Especially after adding captain-level zombies, ordinary people were even less of her opponent.

And Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye was able to kill her in one second.

This strength was terrifying to think about.

Discovering Rangiku Matsumoto’s wavering, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye prepared to strike while the iron was hot.

"Miss Rangiku, Itachi wouldn't want to see the Soul Society devastated, would Itachi?"

"Itachi wouldn't want to see your dear Hitsugaya turn into a zombie, would Itachi?"

"Itachi wouldn't want to see Captain-Commander Yamamoto buried in a sea of fire, would Itachi?"

When he said this, Rangiku Matsumoto completely broke down.

"Stop talking, I’ll just satisfy Itachi. Once Itachi successfully revive me, I have a way to let Itachi go to the Soul Society."

Actually, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye knew this method from the very beginning.

Back then, in order to eliminate the evil Hollows, Rukia Kuchiki transferred her own Shinigami power to Ichigo Kurosaki.

Since Rukia Kuchiki could do it, Rangiku Matsumoto, as a lieutenant, could naturally do it too.

At that time, as long as her Shinigami power was transferred to Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye would have a way to go to the Soul Society.

When he said this, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye slowly stood up and slowly approached Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Since we have reached a consensus, shouldn't we sign a contract?"

Rangiku Matsumoto widened her eyes, her face full of confusion:

"Contract? What contract?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye also smiled: "I see Itachi don't understand at all..."

After a brief exchange, Rangiku Matsumoto finally understood what Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye meant by a contract.

"Is this really signing a contract? Itachi mustn't lie to me!"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye savored the taste just now and smiled: "How could I lie to Itachi? Only by forming the most solid alliance can we face our common enemy."

Looking at Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s serious expression, Rangiku Matsumoto believed him.

It was late at night, and in the dim darkness, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s eyes were somewhat empty.

And Rangiku Matsumoto’s attitude was much better; she leaned toward Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye and asked curiously:

"Senju Senju Senju Xingye-gongzi, Itachi say, can the dead really be revived?"

Facing Rangiku Matsumoto’s curiosity, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye didn't answer but chose to ask a question in return:

"Aren't Itachi yourself a Shinigami who has died once?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s words left Rangiku Matsumoto speechless.

However, even so, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye continued to pursue the question: "Itachi must know that Itachi Shinigami should be spiritual bodies composed of reishi. But in your battles in the Soul Society, Itachi can actually be stained with Giselle’s blood, and in the end, Itachi can even turn into a zombie."

"Don't Itachi think this is a bit absurd?"

Rangiku Matsumoto thought about it carefully and nodded faintly: "What Itachi said is also right, but the Shinigami of the Soul Society and true souls are not the same thing."

"Itachi must know that reishi can also be considered a kind of entity, and there is no big difference in body structure."

"If we are cut, we will also bleed."

"In the end, Shinigami is just a name; we are still ordinary people, it’s just that the main component of our bodies is not water but reishi."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye heard Rangiku Matsumoto’s explanation, and the image of Kenpachi Zaraki appeared in his mind.

If one were to evaluate the warrior who shed the most blood in battle among the Shinigami, it would definitely be Kenpachi Zaraki.

Almost every major battle involved bleeding, especially the moment of his Bankai in the Thousand-Year Blood War.

One must know that this legendary strongest Kenpachi Zaraki, when wielding his Zanpakuto, had his arm directly fractured because his body couldn't withstand the power of his Bankai.

This shows that Shinigami also have physical bodies.

In that case, as long as Rangiku Matsumoto’s body could be revived, things like pregnancy should also be possible, right?

Thinking of this, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye comforted her: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way to make Itachi come alive."

Rangiku Matsumoto heard this and snuggled quietly in Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s arms.

The next morning, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye woke up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

And Rangiku Matsumoto was now glowing, her face rosy.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye took a look and sighed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble."
