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

Yoruichi Shihouin had a smile on her face, but her words were colder than winter snow to Byakuya.

Personally, Yoruichi still thinks Byakuya is a good match.

However, from a family perspective, the five noble families are not united due to their own internal conflicts.

Chapter 80 You're too weak, Senbonzakura

(Fourth update, please subscribe)

Each family has its own ideas about betraying the Spirit King.

For example, the Tsunayo family wanted to steal the power of the Spirit King and replace him.

The Shiba family wants to expose everything to the world and let them judge themselves as a group of traitors.

The Kuchiki family wants to maintain the existing order and protect the world that Lord Spirit King desires.

The Shihouin family, which wields the "Heaven-sent Armor," is the family with the strongest private armed force among the five noble families.

Yoruichi will not comment on how the previous heads of the Shihouin family positioned themselves.

But ever since she took over as head of the Shihouin family, her philosophy has been to be prepared to deal with any changes in the outside world.

Furthermore, Byakuya Kuchiki's strength...

It wasn't that she looked down on Byakuya, but Yoruichi felt that with Byakuya's talent and the power of his Zanpakuto, Byakuya would need to train for at least three or four hundred years to repay this favor.

"Cat demon, you..."

"Alright, Byakuya, sit down."

Erin pressed Byakuya down to sit beside him and laughed, "My uncle is still alive, how can I let a junior like you pay off a debt?"

"Lord Yoruichi, I don't care about many things, and I don't pursue many things."

"But I cherish everything I care about and have, and I don't want to lose it."

"I would say that as long as the people I care about are doing well, I don't really care about what happens in the world." "On the contrary, if changes in the world threaten the people I care about, I will stop them at all costs."

Byakuya and Soi Fon were completely confused by these words, but Yoruichi, who knew the secrets of the "Soul King," knew that Erin was confessing to her that she had no intention of interfering with what she and Urahara were doing.

"Of course, I owe Lord Yoruichi a favor. If Lord Yoruichi asks, I will definitely do my best to help."

"How about we ask Yoruichi and Urahara Sansuke for a Transcendent Body this time, as a favor 'captain-level'?"

"A favor at the captain's level?"

"Yes, as long as the enemy's strength doesn't exceed the captain level, I'm ready to respond at any time!"

"Okay, you convinced me."

Yoruichi stretched and stood up.

"Soi Fon, I'll continue to entrust the team affairs here to you."

"Let's go, Erin, Byakuya, I'll take you to find Urahara."

……

"Oh my, Captain Erin, what a rare guest."

"This one must be Byakuya-sama, the future head of the Kuchiki family, right?"

Although he was surprised that someone could secretly create such a large underground training ground within the Seireitei, Byakuya had already developed a somewhat aloof and expressionless demeanor, so Kisuke Urahara was destined to be disappointed.

Because he couldn't see any surprise on Byakuya's face at his creation.

From Erin's uncle, Byakuya learned that the somewhat disheveled guy in front of him was the main character this time.

Although Byakuya is arrogant, he is not stupid.

Both Yoruichi Shihouin and Erin's uncle had high opinions of this "Third Seat," which clearly indicates that this Third Seat is no ordinary person.

Therefore, he respectfully bowed to Kisuke Urahara as a junior.

"Mr. Urahara, thank you for your help this time."

"What a polite child."

Seeing that the disheveled man was showing signs of developing a grotesque style reminiscent of clogs and hats from over two hundred years later, Erin quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, Urahara, we're on a tight schedule."

"After all, Lady Silver Bell is still waiting."

"Alright, since it's Captain Erin's request, I naturally can't disobey."

With a flick of his wrist, Urahara Kisuke unleashed a loud bang, and white smoke exploded out.

After the smoke cleared, a white, human-shaped target was stuck diagonally in the ground.

"Lord Byakuya, I must explain this to you before the training begins."

Standing before the human-shaped target, Kisuke Urahara straightened it: "This thing was an accidental invention of mine."

"Its function is to help Shinigami whose spiritual pressure has not yet reached the level of a captain to materialize their Zanpakuto in the outside world."

"what?"

Kuchiki Byakuya was startled, his pupils involuntarily contracted, and he almost cried out in surprise.

No wonder Uncle Erin was so confident, assuring Grandpa that he could complete Bankai training within three days.

It turns out that there is something in this world that can materialize a Zanpakuto, replacing the spiritual pressure of a Shinigami.

For other Shinigami, in addition to materializing their own Zanpakuto, they also have to defeat their own Zanpakuto and make it submit to them. This is no easier than materializing their Zanpakuto.

But for Byakuya, who had grown through thousands of life-or-death training sessions with Erin, nothing else mattered as long as he could materialize his Zanpakuto.

Seeing Byakuya's shocked expression, Kisuke Urahara's lips curled up slightly.

He developed a liking for seeing other people's expressions of shock and amazement at his inventions.

"Of course, because it is an accidental product, this Transcendent Body also has some flaws."

At this point, Kisuke Urahara gestured with his thumb and forefinger to represent the distance of a "fingertip universe".

"What flaw?"

"Hehe, since the spiritual pressure that allows the Zanpakuto to materialize is provided by the Tenshintai, it is best to complete the Bankai training within three days and make the Zanpakuto submit."

"If more than three days pass, a Zanpakuto that has not been nurtured by its master's spiritual pressure will go out of control..."

"To put it simply, if a Shinigami fails to master Bankai within three days, he/she will never be able to achieve Bankai in his/her lifetime."

"Lord Byakuya, now that you know this flaw, do you still insist on using this Transcendent Body?"

"Am I destined to never achieve Bankai?"

Kuchiki Byakuya narrowed his eyes slightly.

No wonder.

If this Transcendent Body didn't have such a huge flaw, this Urahara Third Seat would have long been a well-known figure in Seireitei.

Without answering Urahara Kisuke's question, Byakuya simply stepped forward, drew his Zanpakuto, and plunged it into the Tenshintai body next to Urahara Kisuke.

He answered Urahara Kisuke's question with his actions.

"Whoosh!"

"Oh my, Byakuya-sama is so efficient."

Kisuke Urahara appeared instantly beside Erin and brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes.

Upon seeing this, Byakuya's gaze narrowed slightly.

As expected of someone favored by his uncle, his strength is evident from that Instant Step.

However, the next moment Byakuya no longer had the energy to pay attention to Kisuke Urahara.

because--

The physical form of Senbonzakura has appeared!

……

He was dressed in a cherry-colored long robe, wearing a helmet with a long beard, and a fierce mask underneath the helmet.

At first glance, he appears to be a noble warrior.

"Senbonzakura..."

Seeing Senbonzakura in real life for the first time left Kuchiki Byakuya slightly dazed.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki quickly adjusted his mindset.

What I need to do now is to defeat Senbonzakura in front of me, make her submit to me, and help me complete the training of my Zanpakuto's Bankai.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

"boom!"

……

Two streams of spiritual pressure shot into the sky, and along with the surge in spiritual pressure, the cherry blossoms that filled the sky also increased dramatically.

"Oh? Byakuya's strength is quite impressive."

Outside the battlefield between Byakuya and Senbonzakura, Erin, Yoruichi, and Kisuke Urahara stood by and watched.

Ever since seeing Erin demonstrate the Slash Fist and Demon Walk, Byakuya, who was usually impatient, has changed a lot.

Byakuya rarely paid attention to Yoruichi's provocations and teasing, and simply buried himself in his training.

This means that Yoruichi hasn't had much interaction with Byakuya for nearly ten years.

Her understanding of Byakuya was largely based on what happened ten years ago.

For Death, ten years is not a long time.

However, judging from Byakuya's current strength, it has already exceeded Yoruichi's expectations of him.

"Yes, Byakuya is working very hard."

Erin nodded in agreement with Yoruichi's praise of Byakuya.
