2: Chapter 2 Shared! The Painful Philosophical Imprint"first!"
Veins practically bulged on his forehead."My name is Kurosaki Ichigo!I'm a substitute Shinigami!"
"Secondly!"
He pointed at the two of them through gritted teeth, "This brat calls me 'uncle' and that's fine!But you look much older than me, so why do you call me 'uncle' too?I'm a high school student in the prime of my youth!"
Anger completely overwhelmed composure.
Ichigo clicked his tongue in annoyance, gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto tightly in the back of his hand, and pointed the end of the hilt at Naruto and Luffy, preparing to perform a Soul Burial to let these two poor souls who died young rest in peace as soon as possible.
"Enough!Talking to you is a waste of time!Just get some rest—and get some rest now!"
Before he finished speaking, he pushed off with his feet and charged toward the two noisy targets like an arrow released from a bow!
Despite his resolve to brutally annihilate the two souls, when Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze swept over the undried tear tracks in Naruto's azure eyes.
As he passed by Luffy's carefree, bright smile under his straw hat, he inexplicably thought of his silly-smiling younger sister, Yuuko, at home, and his forward momentum faltered for a moment.
'Tch.at least let them rest in peace.' Ichigo thought to himself.
It was this moment of hesitation that gave Naruto and Luffy a chance to react.
Naruto keenly noticed Ichigo's weakness in pointing the hilt of his sword at them instead of the blade, and his slightly clumsy forward lunge.
A brilliant prank idea took shape in his mind in the blink of an eye—its power was almost no less than his signature technique, "Seduction"!
Naruto quickly exchanged a glance with Luffy.
Despite it being their first time working side by side, an indescribable understanding was instantly achieved.
Luffy grinned and unleashed his Gum-Gum Fruit powers!
"Hahaha!Stop it right now!"
With his signature big laugh, Luffy's body shot out like a rubber bullet!
The flexible limbs drew incredible trajectories in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they pounced in front of Ichigo with a twisted and swift posture.The arms and legs wrapped around Ichigo like a snake, and instantly coiled around Ichigo's body several times!
Luffy's contorted charging motion and eerie laughter sent alarm bells ringing in Ichigo's mind!
'Oh no!I was careless!This is definitely not a normal operation!'
He instantly realized his misjudgment and was about to break free and fight back when a sudden change occurred the moment their bodies made contact!
boom--!
Like an invisible dam bursting, a surging power and a massive amount of memory fragments rushed into the depths of Ichigo and Luffy's consciousness without warning and with violent force!
This sudden flood of information was so overwhelming that it instantly overwhelmed their thoughts, leaving them frozen in place as if under a spell, staring at each other in astonishment.
"well?"
Without a word, they instantly understood the source of this power—it was the other person they were in close contact with at that moment!
Just as the two were stunned by the impact of sharing, Naruto moved!
Although he was also taken aback by Luffy's bizarre "physical skills", how could he let go of such a golden opportunity?
"Whoosh!"
The golden figure swept behind Ichigo like a gust of wind and swiftly crouched down.
Their fingers are intertwined, ready to go!
Two index fingers held together, brimming with chilling killing intent, were like deadly spikes, precisely locking onto Ichigo Kurosaki's unsuspecting "absolute defense" core—that sacred and inviolable bullseye!
This fierce killing intent, aimed at the "vital point," was so intense that it even penetrated the torrent of memories, abruptly waking Ichigo from his daze!
"No.no.ah—!"
Ichigo turned around in horror, his scream stretched out infinitely in extreme terror, like a slow-motion film reel.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Butt-Bombing Cannon!"
Naruto's fingertips, filled with the resolve to end everything, struck with pinpoint accuracy!
Pfft—!
At the instant physical contact was completed, three completely different forces and three complex and chaotic memories, like three raging rivers, finally converged, surged, and exploded at this juncture!
The freshest, most intense, and most indescribable experience—the extreme feeling that struck the depths of the soul, a mixture of excruciating pain, shame, and the collapse of one's worldview—was like a red-hot branding iron, instantly imprinted on the core of the three people's consciousness!
"——Awoooo .
Three piercing screams, loud enough to tear space apart, erupted simultaneously!
The three pairs of eyes bulged out exaggeratedly like a dying goldfish, and the mouth was opened to its limit, as if it was about to devour the entire space!
The pain and despair that originated from the deepest part of their souls caused their bodies to spring back as if they had been electrocuted!
The three of them clutched their severely damaged "philosophical sites" tightly, emitting incomprehensible cries while simultaneously leaping three zhang high into the air in astonishing synchronization!
Then, under the approving gaze of Newton (and perhaps Archimedes), the three of them crashed to the ground with a "thud" in a uniform, fateful trajectory.
The dust has settled.
On the ground, only three figures remained, face down, buttocks up, their postures filled with endless sorrow and a silent accusation against the world.
They were like three maggots side by side, manipulated by fate, occasionally accompanied by unconscious twitches, revealing the lingering effects of that horrific "sharing."
————————
Time flowed slowly amidst the pain.
"Waaah."
Ichigo Kurosaki finally struggled out of the lingering pain.
He raised his head, his face frozen in a dazed, almost detached state, and a sob of grievance escaped his throat involuntarily.
His unfocused gaze swept over Naruto, and he suddenly jolted awake!
He braced himself with his hands on the ground and used all four limbs to quickly move backward like a startled crab, creating a safe distance between himself and Naruto.
After confirming that there was enough distance, he laboriously rolled over, but still managed to brace himself with one hand to avoid.To prevent that ravaged "land of sorrow" from being touched again.
Then, he shakily raised his other hand and pointed at Naruto, his grief-stricken accusation almost bursting from his throat:
"You bastard, you.you.you.you."
However, fragments of memories flooded my mind—the villagers' cold stares, the sour taste of cheap instant noodles, the lonely graffiti on the Hokage Rock…
These harsh winter days that belonged to Naruto instantly froze all his anger.
The trembling index finger froze in mid-air, finally retracting helplessly, transforming into a heavy, upright thumb.The voice was hoarse, as if on the verge of tears:
"You did a great job!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto, who was immersed in the passionate and heartwarming memories of Ichigo Kurosaki, Luffy, and their crew, immediately looked up, his blue eyes gleaming with surprise:
"Really!Want to do it again?"
"No no no no no no no no no."
