I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Under the moonlight, Shiba and the Grim Reaper team members beside her realized that this Grim Reaper named Alberto had huge, stretched eye sockets that took up almost a third of his head.

The area around his eye socket was so badly ruptured that it looked like a flower.

Alberto's mouth was wide open, and copious amounts of saliva dripped from it. His long tongue protruded from his mouth, almost reaching his chin.

"Everyone be careful, this guy isn't Alberto!"

Upon seeing this, Shiba was immediately shocked and quickly reminded everyone.

In fact, upon seeing Alberto like this, the Shinigami present, without Shiba's prompting, all gripped their Zanpakuto and pointed the blades at Alberto.

"Roar!"

Alberto let out a roar and charged towards the crowd.

"You bastard, get out of Alberto's body!"

Among the Shinigami, there was one who was close to Alberto. Seeing his friend reduced to such a state, he was furious and raised his Zanpakuto to slash at the controlled Alberto.

"Roar!"

Alberto neither dodged nor evaded the attack from this Grim Reaper.

The moment the Grim Reaper's Zanpakuto touched Alberto, it was instantly dissolved.

"laugh!"

Before the Shinigami could recover from the shock of his Zanpakuto disappearing, Alberto's hand pierced through his chest.

Upon seeing his teammate injured, Shiba reached out to Alberto and began chanting a Kido incantation.

Shiba Tou drew a triangle in front of him with his right hand. Yellow spiritual pressure formed a triangular frame in front of Shiba Tou, and three yellow canine-like fangs condensed from the three points of the triangle.

"Binding Spell Number Thirty - Mouth Thrust Triple Flash!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Three yellow canine teeth flew out, two striking Alberto's arms and one striking his abdomen, sending him flying and pinning him firmly to a large tree.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Upon seeing Alberto bound by Shiba Tousan's Kido, the Shinigami behind Shiba Tou immediately swarmed forward, wanting to kill the monster who had killed their colleague and was controlling his corpse.

but……

"Puff puff puff puff puff..."

Every Shinigami's Zanpakuto vanishes instantly upon touching Alberto's body.

Before they could even be shocked, the three yellow canine teeth that bound Alberto to the tree revealed black cracks.

"Oh no, everyone run!"

Shiba, who was far away, saw this scene and immediately called for everyone to run away.

Then, he pointed his hand at Alberto.

"Hado #33 - Azure Flame Fall!"

A pale blue flame erupted from Shiba's palm, striking Alberto before he could break free of the binding spell.

"boom!"

A pale blue fireball erupted, causing immense damage to everything within a five-meter radius.

The dozen or so Deaths who had been besieging Alberto were also thrown away by the shockwave of the explosion and fell to the ground far away.

"call……"

Shiba breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his Kido hit.

The monster we encountered this time wasn't particularly strong, but its abilities were extremely disgusting.

Judging from everyone's performance just now, any Zanpakuto that Shinigami touches will be neutralized by that guy's ability.

However, it's finally resolved now.

"Is everyone okay?"

Having defeated the enemy, Shiba Miyako approached his teammates and quietly apologized.

I'm sorry everyone.

"That was really dangerous."

"I saw that the three-flash mouth was about to break free from its restraints, so I didn't wait for everyone to evacuate and immediately released the demonic attack."

"Don't worry, we're all fine. We're all three seats."

The Grim Reaper in front of Shiba got up from the ground. Although he was injured by the aftershocks of the Azure Flame Fall, he only suffered some burns, which were not fatal.

He just needs to go to the Fourth Division and ask the members there for help with treatment. He'll be fine after a few days of rest.

Just as Shiba was chatting with the Shinigami member in front of him, Shinigami who had just gotten up from the ground in another direction suddenly changed his expression.

From the spot where Shiba Sansuke's Kido attack had just struck, a figure engulfed in azure flames burst forth and charged toward Shiba.

"Shiba Sansuke, watch out!"

"what?"

Hearing his teammate's warning and seeing the azure flames in the eyes of the teammate opposite him, Shiba didn't even have time to chant the Kido incantation. He directly drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and slashed behind him.

"laugh!"

This burning body was cut in two by Shiba.

However, Shiba's face did not show any good expression; instead, it was filled with horror.

Based on their previous encounters, Shiba already knew that the monster they were chasing possessed the ability to erase any Zanpakuto that came into contact with it.

The fact that this body was cut in two proves that it is no longer the body of that monster.

So where is this monster now?

"Whoosh..."

The black figure plummeted from the sky amidst Shiba's despairing gaze...

……

That evening, Rukia finally finished her mission, stretched her limbs, and headed towards the back mountain of her 13th Division.

Although Rukia has not yet fought any Shinigami in the 13th Division, her progress in gathering information to build her own database is almost zero.

However, Rukia never slacked off in her training.

As Teacher Ailin once said, the core of data kendo is to know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Chapter 231 Ling Wu, Sleeves of White Snow

Rukia hasn't yet built her own database, so she can't "know her enemy" yet, but her daily training helps her to "know herself" better.

After all, with the training I put into myself, I become stronger every day than I was the day before.

Such power, if not fully controlled, could become its weakness.

After arriving at an open space, Rukia drew her Zanpakuto and began her training.

"call out!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Under the cover of night, Rukia's body moved sideways on the ground, making it appear as if there were two Rukias.

A series of flashes of sword light shone between the two Rukia.

But in reality, this is an illusion caused by Rukia moving so fast.

Rukia's current training involves using Shunpo (Instant Step) to move at high speed between any two points.

Every time Rukia uses Shunpo, she instantly draws her sword and sheathes it, then stands still, uses Shunpo again, draws her sword, sheathes it, and stands on the other side.

To the average person, all they can see is Rukia's Shunpo and the incredible speed at which she draws her sword.

Those with greater strength could see that, under such high-speed training, Rukia's footprints at two different distances were exactly the same as the footprints she left when she first stood up.

What terrifying control this is!

I'm afraid that among all the captains of the Gotei 13, only two could have done all this.

One of them, naturally, is Erin, who teaches Rukia Data Swordsmanship.

Another one is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who can completely compress the high temperature of Ryujin Jakka into his Zanpakuto without revealing a trace of it.

The remaining people weren't looked down upon by Erin; they simply weren't capable of performing such precise operations.

Well, Unohana Ripple might be able to do it, but she's definitely not as perfect as Rukia.

Suddenly, Rukia's figure returned to normal, and she looked up intently into the distance.

"This feeling is so ominous..."

"It's an empty spiritual pressure."

"And also, the spiritual pressure of the Third Seat of the Shiba family."

"Did they encounter a weakness?"

Rukia was somewhat shocked.

You must understand, this is Seireitei.

There's actually a Hollow infiltrated Seireitei. If this gets out, it'll probably cause a major upheaval in Seireitei.

As the highest concentration of power in Soul Society, Seireitei is also the gathering place of the strongest forces in Soul Society.

Even if the Shinigami of Seireitei exude a fragrance that makes their mouths water, those Hollows driven only by instinct will not descend upon Seireitei.

What kind of despair must one have to be to come to Seireitei to die?

Since the establishment of Seireitei a million years ago, apart from the oldest Hueco Mundo King who broke into Seireitei, defeated Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and ascended to the Soul King Palace, no Hollows have ever been seen inside Seireitei.

However, the oldest Hueco Mundo king relied on his near-invincible strength to forcefully break through Seireitei's defenses. Although this Hollow's spiritual pressure was not low, it was almost impossible for him to break through Seireitei's defenses.

Despite her doubts, Rukia put aside her questions and quickly headed towards the location of the Hollow's spiritual pressure.
