Soul Supreme Starting from Death

Page 89

Looking at the “tall” back of Yamaru Lisa, Ukitake Jushiro felt a surge of emotion in his heart that the world had not yet been destroyed. He excitedly wanted to say goodbye to her, but because he was too excited, he forced himself to cough a few times, and the words of farewell were pushed back.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at his old friend who was tricked a little by his vice-captain but was still deeply moved, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

I told you a long time ago that little Lisa is extremely sinister. If you didn’t believe me, then you can’t blame me if you get cheated.

After watching Yamaru Lisa walk away, Ukitake Jushiro closed the window and turned to look at Kyoraku Shunsui. Kyoraku Shunsui said he was going out for a drink, but he didn’t show any intention of leaving. He just sat down casually and asked with a smile.

“What did the teacher say?”

“Teacher, don’t you understand? Since Room 46 has approved it, he will definitely not object.”

“Tsk tsk, what do you think, what does Ghost Taoist Wu Ling mean by this? Did he simply discover a genius and couldn’t bear to see his talent go to waste? Or is he protesting to us, thinking that all talented people are monopolized by Team 13, and hoping to increase support for the Ghost Taoists and expand his power as Ghost Taoist?”

“…I don’t know. That’s why I have a headache.”

Ukitake Jushiro pressed his temples in distress, his face full of worry.

Yesterday evening, news suddenly came from the Forty-Sixth Room that the Ghost Path Master of the Ghost Path Clan, Gorin Tessai, had discovered a talented student at the Shinō Spiritual Academy and had accepted him as his disciple.

Some younger captains may not care about this news. After all, although Kidō is one of the four major categories of Shinigami in “Zanken, Kisou”, unlike Zanpakuto, Kidō is ultimately just an auxiliary. Not many Shinigami will specialize in Kidō. In addition, the Kidōshu is nominally only one of the affiliated organizations of the Thirteenth Team. The news that the leader of the Kidōshu has accepted a disciple seems less important.

However, veteran captains like Ukitake Jushiro understand how dangerous people who are truly proficient in the Kidō are. After all, there are some “forbidden techniques” above the conventional, normally disseminated numbered Kidō.

These “forbidden techniques” do not refer to “forbidden techniques” but “techniques that are prohibited from use”. Once used, they will have a negative impact on the stability of Soul Society and may even cause problems in the order of Soul Society. They are expressly prohibited from use in Soul Society by the Forty-Six Chambers.

And these forbidden techniques, these top-notch ghost arts, are naturally all in the hands of Wuling Tessai, the master of ghost arts.

For a long time, Wuling Tiezhai has been the key surveillance target of the Forty-Sixth Room. To a certain extent, it can even be said that the Guidaozhong organization was established to appease and restrict Wuling Tiezhai.

Now, Wuling Tiezhai, who masters forbidden techniques, actually accepts disciples?

It is quite different from the superficial teacher-student relationship in school. This is a classical master-disciple relationship, the kind of relationship where one passes on one’s knowledge and skills to another.

A hundred years later, will there be another person who has mastered forbidden techniques and has the potential to destroy Soul Society? The captains who know the inside story can hardly help but feel worried.

Ukitake Jushiro was totally unable to understand what kind of exchange conditions Wuling Tessai had promised in order to make the Forty-Six Rooms and the nobles, who were pursuing stability, allow him to accept disciples and teach.

“A little bit, what a pity.”

Unlike the worried Ukitake Jushiro, Kyoraku Shunsui’s face was more of regret.

Ukitake Jushiro knew what he was regretting. A student who was valued by the Onidou must have extraordinary talent. But since he had already become a disciple of Goryo Tessai, it was impossible for him to join the Gotei 13. The 46th Chamber would never allow someone who mastered forbidden techniques to hold the power of captain again.

Talented young people cannot join the Gotei 13, which is a pity for the old people who witnessed and even directly participated in the establishment of the Gotei 13.

Indeed, it is a bit regrettable.

“By the way, what was the name of that student?”

“Aizen Sosuke, it’s a little hard to pronounce, but Shunsui, you’d better remember it.”

“Yeah, I remember that. I hope Aizen Sosuke is not a troublemaker.”

Chapter 199: Aizen’s Counterattack and Expectations

“Alas, Senior, you are too hard on yourself. Isn’t this just cutting off your own path?”

Urahara Kisuke’s face was full of regret, and there seemed to be a hint of guilt in his sigh.

“It’s all my fault for being too selfish. I only wanted to do research with you, but I didn’t consider that you might not be willing to be my assistant. As a result, I pushed you too hard, and you actually sent yourself to the Ghost Path Clan in order to escape from me.”

Aizen on the opposite side was smiling nonchalantly, and without responding to Urahara Kisuke’s words, he picked up the snacks that Urahara Kisuke brought, tasted them, and asked with a smile.

“Speaking of which, Kisuke, I haven’t seen Miss Shihouin for a while since we last met. Is she okay now?”

Urahara Kisuke also smiled easily, without any trace of gloom, and waved his hand gently.

“Don’t mention it. Yoruichi has been very ambitious recently and wants to be a captain for fun. The old man of the Shihouin family couldn’t persuade her and had to agree. Recently, she has been preparing to take over as the captain of the second team.”

Urahara Kisuke said it easily, but the fact was, three days ago, Yoruichi’s mother had just agreed to his request and went to Mao, and told the vice-principal in advance that she was optimistic about Aizen and planned to recruit him into the second team after he graduated. If there were other captains who also thought highly of Aizen, they should remember to say hello to her.

Then, before even the time for a meal had passed, the great demon chief of the Demonic Sect, Murin Tessai, announced to the Forty-Sixth Chamber that he had accepted a student named Aizen Sosuke as his disciple.

Although the possibility of these two things happening together is not great, some people still raise the following question:

The Shihouin family controls the criminal army and secret maneuvers, and all the information from the Soul Society cannot escape their ears. Have they already known that Gorin Tessai intends to accept a disciple, so they want to recruit Aizen into the Second Division before Gorin Tessai accepts a disciple, so that the Shihouin family will have an extra subordinate who masters forbidden techniques in the future?

The possibility of such a thing happening is actually very low, and no one will take it seriously. However, those nobles who try to weaken and restrict the Shihouin family do not need to consider whether it is true or not. They only need to know that this is an excuse that can be used to attack the Shihouin family.

As a result, in less than half a day, under the leadership of the Tsunayashiro family, a large number of nobles united extremely efficiently and asked the Forty-Sixth Chamber to review whether Yoruichi’s mother had developed ambitions that should not have existed, and…

Whether he can continue to serve as the captain of the second squad and the commander of the criminal army.

After a discussion whose outcome was already decided and which had little practical significance, most of the sages and inquisitors of the Forty-Six Chambers believed that Yoruichi’s mother needed to abdicate and that the next generation of heirs of the Shihouin family should take charge of the Second Division again.

According to the tradition of the Shihouin family, the heir will practice under the guidance of the family until he masters Bankai, then enter Maou to go through the graduation process, and then enter the Gotei 13. With absolute strength, he will take over the position of captain of the second squad from his elders to ensure that this “ancestral heritage” will not be shaken during the handover process.

But now, as the next generation heir of the Shihouin family, Yoruichi is still a long way from mastering Bankai.

He took over as captain of the second squad even though he clearly did not have the ability to be a captain, which inevitably led to criticism from other Shinigami.

Some captains who are not so broad-minded may even question, “Is this kind of person worthy of being a captain with me?”

Under the leadership of such a “weak” captain, the members of the Second Squad would inevitably feel ashamed when facing members of other squads. The confidence of the criminal army and the secret forces to enter other squads’ bars and arrest people without reporting would also be greatly reduced.

From all aspects, letting Yoruichi take over as captain now is not a good thing for either Yoruichi or the Second Division.

The nobles who impeached Yoruichi’s mother did not intend to do it all at once and kick the Shihouin family out of the Second Division directly. They could not do that. They just planned to initially shake the Shihouin family’s control over the Second Division and see how Yoruichi Shihouin performed.

If Yoruichi is good enough and can withstand these unfavorable factors and still keep the Second Division firmly in his hands, they will give up and wait for the next opportunity.

But if, after a period of time, the chaos in the Second Division does not change, and Yoruichi is unable to rectify these problems, the nobles will continue to take action and find ways to bring down Yoruichi as well.

Yoruichi’s younger brother is still young and has only just started training. Once Yoruichi abdicates, it will be impossible for him to take over as captain of the second squad.

At that time, the biggest possibility is that the Shihouin family will pick a talented and loyal child from several affiliated families, train him with all their strength, and make him the captain of the second team to ensure that after Yoruichi’s younger brother grows up, the Shihouin family can take back the second team.

But at that time, power had actually already flowed out. To deal with the Shifengyuan family, one of the four great noble families, the other four major families had to take the lead and unite a large number of upper and lower nobles to work together.

But if we only attack the affiliated families of the Shihouin family, it will be much simpler. Everyone will take action at that time, and it will depend on the ability of each family to determine who will control the Criminal Army, the Secret Mobile Force, and the Second Squad.

Urahara Kisuke wanted to use the power of the Shihōin family to prove the power of friendship to Aizen, who denied that he was a “mediocrity”. However, Aizen used his power to double his attack back.

“Friendship is indeed wonderful, but because your friend helped you, his mother was blamed for no reason, and his family may be in turmoil and decline. Is your friendship still so indestructible?”

Although Aizen didn’t say it directly, his counterattack clearly meant this.

It has to be said that this counterattack was indeed ruthless. On the day of the incident, the old man of the Shihouin family went straight to Urahara Kisuke’s house and asked him to choose an auspicious day to marry into the family. It was obvious that he planned to send Yoruichi to be the captain of the second team if he could no longer control the situation.

Marrying into the Shihouin family is nothing to Urahara Kisuke. Anyway, he doesn’t hate being with Yoruichi, and Yoruichi doesn’t hate him either. But if he takes over as the captain of the second division, Urahara Kisuke will have a headache.

The captain of the second squad needs to serve as the commander of the criminal army corps and the chief of covert mobility. His workload is the heaviest among the thirteen captains. Unfortunately, most of these tasks involve confidential intelligence. He cannot just hand them over to his deputies like other captains do, but has to do it himself.

In other words, once he sits in that position, it will be extremely difficult for Urahara Kisuke to find time to do his own research.

However, Urahara Kisuke was not panicked at all.

“Speaking of which, Senior, I have been researching something that I have tentatively named the Transformation Body. It’s a pity that you still have to go to school and don’t have time to come to my laboratory, otherwise I would definitely demonstrate it to you.”

The transformation into a divine body was something Urahara Kisuke had already conceived of.

His time was precious, and it was not enough to be spent on research and study. He was too lazy to spend a lot of time every day practicing “sword Zen”, sitting there with his eyes closed and communicating with his Zanpakutō.

Therefore, he planned to develop a device to drag the Zanpakutō spirit hidden in the spiritual world to the outside world and have a good talk with it (physics).

Anyway, the sword soul is in the spiritual world, so it can’t escape even if the conversation is unpleasant. As long as he communicates a few more times, I think the other party will definitely agree to cooperate with him in performing Bankai.

Coincidentally, the development of this device named the God-Transforming Body has reached the final stage, and soon, Urahara Kisuke will be able to use it to help Yoruichi quickly master Bankai.

Therefore, Urahara Kisuke was not panicked at all.

Aizen was a little surprised by Urahara Kisuke’s calmness. Just as he was about to say something to test it, a Hell Butterfly suddenly flew over and landed on Urahara Kisuke’s fingertips.

“Kisuke, come to my place when you have time. I found a perfect body and I can share some with you.”

The voice was unfamiliar, but Aizen didn’t care much. However, there seemed to be something wrong with that Hell Butterfly. It looked like…

Looks like he’s going to die soon?

Shouldn’t this kind of hell butterfly be eliminated long ago?

Noticing Aizen’s gaze on the Hell Butterfly, Urahara Kisuke scratched his head as if a little embarrassed.

“This is my work before graduation. I used a few Hell Butterflies that were eliminated by stealth maneuvers. I barely put it together. I estimate that they will die after two or three uses at most. It can be regarded as a small gift from me to my friend.”

Carefully putting the Hell Butterfly into the wooden box in his arms, Urahara Kisuke stood up and stretched hard, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

“It seems that I have to finish the things at hand as soon as possible, otherwise I can’t ask for leave at this moment.”

Ask for leave?

Hearing this word, Aizen immediately thought of the friend Ren whom Urahara Kisuke had taken leave to meet before.

“Gu Shi?”

Aizen didn’t hide anything and asked directly about his guess.

Urahara Kisuke nodded lightly with joy. Just thinking about his body being called “excellent” by Gu Shi made him look forward to it.

Aizen on the side took a sip of tea thoughtfully. Originally, after the counterattack against the Shihouin family, he had prepared three consecutive trials for Urahara Kisuke, intending to strengthen his reserve companion.

However, since Kisuke is going to meet Gu Shi and take over the “excellent body”, he should stop for the time being.

Aizen, also has some expectations.

Chapter 200: Urahara Kisuke is a little bit broken

“That’s what I was wondering. How come after I arrived at the Great Barrier, only Asido and Xiaobai were there? They even told me that the meeting place had changed. It turns out that Gu Shi, you have evolved. Congratulations.”

Urahara Kisuke pretended to shake hands with Gu Shi. His ostentatious smile and exaggerated movements, every move was full of the aura of asking for a beating, which made Gu Shi raise an eyebrow.

“Kisuke, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m just happy, that’s all. Gu Shi, you changed the meeting place to this deserted place. You must be worried that your spiritual pressure will hurt the ordinary people in the great barrier. Seeing that you still care about ordinary people so much after your evolution, I really can’t help but feel happy.”

As he spoke, Urahara Kisuke “emotionally” wiped the corners of his dry eyes, as if tears of emotion were flowing down there. Combined with his exaggerated tone, there was an inexplicable sense of sarcasm, which made Gu Shi raise his sickle hand involuntarily.

“Really? Is your way of expressing joy in a sarcastic way, Kisuke? I have to warn you in advance that if you continue like this, I will be unable to help but beat you up.”

Looking at the gleaming sickle, Urahara Kisuke quickly coughed a few times, rubbed his face, and tried to make himself look more serious.

Before Gu Shi evolved, this threat had no deterrent effect, as Gu Shi couldn’t beat him anyway. But now that Gu Shi is Achukas, if he is really determined to beat him, Urahara Kisuke can’t find a way to avoid being beaten, except to escape by relying on the high mobility of Shunpo.

“Ahem, let’s get back to business. What is the perfect body you mentioned, Gu Shi? Take it out and let me open my eyes.”
