Hela/Chapter 87: Zanpakuto — Kyoka Suigetsu

“Sister-in-law, don't you have the Byakugan? Why didn't you use it to observe these patrolling puppets and find an opportunity to leave?” Alan Folker asked Hinata, puzzled.

“I don't know why, but my Byakugan is completely useless here,” Hinata said, frowning.

“Is that so?” Alan Folker nodded, then said, “I've figured out the patrol patterns here. I'll take you out now.”

“Okay!” Hinata nodded heavily.

“Go? Go where?” Just then, an eerie voice exploded in Alan Folker and Hinata's ears.

Hearing this voice, cold sweat trickled down Alan Folker's back. He stiffly turned around, and what greeted his eyes was Ōtsutsuki Toneri.

“I didn't expect you to find this place,” Ōtsutsuki Toneri narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Alan Folker.

“Draw! Draw!” The moment Alan Folker saw Ōtsutsuki Toneri, he shouted to the system in his heart.

He didn't know how he was exposed, but that wasn't the most important thing now. He had to draw something useful now.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing a consumable — Crescent Sky Rush!”

Alan Folker's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he used it directly.

A giant phantom of a cleaver appeared in Alan Folker's hand, and he swung it down at Ōtsutsuki Toneri.

“Crescent Sky Rush!!!” Alan Folker roared, and a pale blue, crescent-shaped slash was released from the curved blade.

“Whoosh!” The slash tore through the air, heading straight for Ōtsutsuki Toneri.

Toneri's eyes narrowed. He could feel that this slash was not simple. He dared not be negligent and quickly extended his right hand to block in front of his chest.

“Bang!”

The slash hit Toneri's arm, and a powerful force erupted, pushing Toneri back dozens of meters.

“Boom!!!” Toneri's figure crashed into the wall, shattering it into pieces, and debris splattered everywhere.

“Sister-in-law! Let's go!” Alan Folker grabbed Hinata's small hand, leaped into the air, and then fled towards the outside of the palace.

“Swish, swish, swish!” The puppets also discovered the two and chased after them.

“Folker, where are we going now?!” Hinata looked worriedly at the puppets chasing behind them and anxiously said to Alan Folker.

“Let's get out first. Naruto and the others must be rushing here after hearing the commotion,” Alan Folker said as he fled.

“Mhm, okay!” Hinata nodded obediently, then fled with Alan Folker towards the outside of the palace.

“Pfft!” Toneri's figure slowly stood up from the ruins.

At this moment, Toneri's clothes were disheveled, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Enduring the severe pain in his right arm, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Toneri's right hand was already broken, but even more horrifying was the shallow wound that had appeared on his right arm.

“What terrifying attack power!” Toneri's pupils contracted.

He could feel that Alan Folker was merely a Chunin, but both this time and the last, Alan Folker had given him an extremely strong sense of danger, even making him feel the threat of death.

“If that move had gone any further, even I would have had to pay a heavy price!” Toneri gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering.

One must know that his strength was also at the Six Paths Realm level. It could be said that apart from Naruto and Sasuke, no one would be his opponent.

“No matter what, I cannot let them leave, or there will be endless trouble,” Toneri's eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Swish!” Toneri's figure suddenly appeared at the location where Alan Folker and Hinata were. Then, he flipped his palm and struck out at Alan Folker.

“Folker, be careful!” Hinata's pretty face turned pale with fright as she saw Toneri suddenly appear, and she cried out.

Alan Folker's eyes also narrowed. He hadn't expected Toneri's speed to be so fast.

“Crescent Sky Rush!!!” Alan Folker shouted loudly.

Toneri, having been traumatized by Alan Folker's shout, quickly stopped his movement and dared not attack rashly again, channeling Chakra for defense.

He was afraid; he was afraid that Alan Folker would use that kind of attack again.

However, Alan Folker had no “Crescent Sky Rush.” That move was just a one-time consumable and could not be used a second time.

Alan Folker continued to flee, pulling Hinata along, while simultaneously shouting to the system in his heart: “Draw! Draw!”

He still had one draw chance left.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing the Zanpakuto — Kyoka Suigetsu!”

As the system's voice fell, a katana appeared in Alan Folker's hand.

“Huh?” Alan Folker was stunned after hearing the system's reward.

Although Kyoka Suigetsu was very strong, arguably one of the strongest Zanpakuto in the Shinigami anime, what he needed now was a high-power skill. This Zanpakuto was useless to him.

Aizen once said that a Shinigami's battle is a battle of spiritual pressure, and spiritual pressure is everything.

The reason why the Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto was so strong in his hands was because of his spiritual pressure. Spiritual pressure could also be said to be this world's Chakra.

He was only a Chunin now. How strong could his spiritual pressure be? Could it hypnotize Toneri, who was at the Six Paths Realm? Could it create illusions and control him?

At this moment, Toneri also realized that Alan Folker had just been bluffing him and hadn't used any skill at all.

Indeed, he was only a Chunin. How could he continuously use such high-power skills? Using it once would be enough to drain all his Chakra.

Toneri didn't hesitate and continued to chase after Alan Folker.

Watching Toneri continue to pursue, Alan Folker gritted his teeth and raised Kyoka Suigetsu.

“Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!” Alan Folker lightly shouted, and the Chakra from his entire body poured into Kyoka Suigetsu.

As Alan Folker's words fell, Toneri only felt a blur before his eyes, and then Alan Folker and Hinata's figures had vanished.

“What's going on? Where are they?” Toneri frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

Could Hinata's speed be that fast? Or was that Chunin's speed that fast? In just a blink of an eye, the two figures had disappeared.

Seeing Toneri frozen in place, Alan Folker knew that the other party had fallen for it. He quickly grabbed Hinata's small hand and continued to run.

Now, those puppets were also rapidly approaching them. He had to escape from here as quickly as possible.

“Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!” As soon as the two took a step, the puppets also rushed towards them. Hinata didn't hesitate and directly used her ultimate technique.

In an instant, two giant lions appeared on her fists, fiercely colliding with the puppets.

“Boom~” A huge explosion rose in front of the two, and smoke billowed.

“Hmm?” The huge explosion also woke Toneri, who was in the illusion. He looked up and gazed forward.

“An illusion?” Toneri frowned, muttered to himself, and then chased after Hinata and Alan Folker.

“Oh no! He woke up from the illusion!” Alan Folker's face changed drastically as he saw Toneri rushing over. Now, he and Hinata were surrounded by puppets, making escape very difficult.

“Bang!” Just as Toneri's attack was about to land on Alan Folker, a loud bang sounded, followed by a golden light that landed in front of Alan Folker and Hinata, blocking Toneri's attack.

“You, are you Ōtsutsuki Toneri?” Naruto, enveloped in his Tailed Beast Cloak, looked coldly at Toneri.
