Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

Chapter 158 True Spiritual Arts Academy, Student Uchiha Mikoto

"really?"

"More real than real gold!"

Seeing Kyoraku Shunsui's sincere expression, Inuyasha readily agreed.

From God's perspective, Kyoraku Shunsui's ability to smoothly assume the position of Captain-Commander-in-Chief after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's death during the "Thousand-Year Blood War" was due not only to his seniority but also to his excellent interpersonal skills.

This kind of captain is more suitable for the pseudonym "Gintoki," who is simply someone who goes through the motions.

"very good."

Kyoraku Shunsui patted Inuyasha on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and winked.

"Let me tell you, my Eighth Division has quite a few beautiful female Shinigami, like Nanao and Lisa Yadomaru—"

"Don't lead the newcomers astray!"

Ise Nanao interrupted angrily, her eyebrows furrowed, wishing she could punch the unreliable captain on the spot, "Gintoki likes Vice-Captain Matsumoto Rangiku!"

"What are you saying? Who doesn't like Matsumoto?!" Kyoraku Shunsui, who had casually uttered a truthful remark, saw flames almost erupting from behind his little niece, immediately shut his mouth, let out a strange laugh, and ran away.

"Nanao, I'm leaving Gintoki in your care. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Ise Nanao watched Kyoraku Shunsui disappear in a flash, suppressing her anger.

Her slightly narrowed gaze fell on Inuyasha, her serious expression resembling that of a school principal.

Inuyasha, whose brain was being attacked by past memories, adopted the demeanor of a well-behaved student, which made Nanao Ise nod in satisfaction.

"Gintoki, the most important thing for a man is to be mature and steady, and to learn to respect women."

"When I have time, I'll take you to meet Vice Captain Matsumoto."

Upon hearing that last sentence, Inuyasha felt that Ise Nanao was just making empty promises.

"Thank you for your kind words, Vice Captain Ise."

"Come with me."

After making a mental note about the girl with glasses, Inuyasha followed Nanao Ise toward the Shinigami Academy.

"You are now a member of the Eighth Division in preparation and need to enroll in the Shinigami Academy to undergo training in 'Slaying Fist and Slaying Demons'."

o

"That is, to acquire one's own Asada (a type of sword technique) and practice swordsmanship; to fight with one's body in Hakuda (another type of sword technique); to use spiritual pressure to move at high speed in Shunpo (another type of sword technique); and to use incantations of spiritual power to encompass all things in the Kido (a type of sword technique)."

Finally, Ise Nanao, who was leading the way, added uncertainly, "Captain Kyoraku said that the Shinigami Academy will invite strong individuals from other cultivation systems in the Eastern Country to offer corresponding courses."

"However, this has little to do with you. With your talent, you might graduate from the academy before the curriculum is even finalized."

This might disappoint Ise Nanao. The exchange between different supernatural systems is a national policy that Inuyasha is vigorously promoting. In less than half a year, the Shinigami Academy will be flourishing.

But then again, graduating early is a sign of genius.

With a little effort, he could awaken a Bankai and secure the vice-captain position ahead of time, which is normal.

"I will study hard and will not let Captain Ise down."

"Um?"

Ise Nanao turned her head and looked at the bewildered Inuyasha with a serious expression, and said, "When we're working, you should call me Vice-Captain. The Captain is Kyoraku Shunsui."

"what?"

"What?!"

The girl with glasses adjusted her glasses. "How you address someone reflects their attitude. If you encounter someone petty or rigid..."

Death might actually make things difficult for you.

"You seem pretty rigid to me."

Inuyasha inwardly scoffed, but then adopted a humble posture, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Lieutenant Ise. I almost made a mistake."

However, this feeling of not being educated for so long is kind of wonderful?

Interesting~

"only----"

Inuyasha paused, then walked up to Ise Nanao, feigning innocence, and asked, "To avoid making mistakes in the future, may I often come to consult with Lieutenant Ise?"

With his handsome face and puppy-like tone, his charm is incredibly appealing to older women.

The girl with glasses blushed and subconsciously took a step back. Then she realized that it was inappropriate to be pushed back by a man, and revealed the cold and hard expression she usually showed when dealing with Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Gintoki, you need to keep a safe distance from women. And if it were any other woman, like Matsumoto with the biggest breasts—"

Ise Nanao, who had also instinctively blurted out her true feelings, quickly covered her red lips with her hand, turned away with a blush on her face, and screamed inwardly, "How could I have talked such nonsense in front of my junior! It's all the fault of Kyoraku-sensei!"

Even Inuyasha could see the reddish tips of the other person's ears through their tied-up hair. If they were in bed together, it would probably be quite a sight.

That's the contrast!

"Alright, hurry up and come with me. Don't dawdle, I'm very busy too."

Ise Nanao used her footsteps to cover up her panic and, intending to use clean knowledge to wash away Inuyasha's memories, began to speak.

"The True Spiritual Arts Academy has six grades. The foundation year is the first year, which focuses on learning reading, writing, and arithmetic to lay the foundation for subsequent studies."

"Then came the second year of theoretical studies, where I learned grammar and began to explore the path of the demons."

"In the third year of advanced study, the Kido course is further divided into Hado, Bakudo, and Kaido."

"In the fourth year of the Cultural Year, we learn about the history of Soul Society and the concept of enunciation."

Ise Nanao, who knew that Inuyasha was still a "newcomer," offered an explanation.

"The so-called 'entering mind' is learning how to interact with the prototype of the Zanpakuto, 'Asauchi,' infusing one's own spirit and beliefs into it, and thus nurturing one's own Zanpakuto."

"In the fifth grade of the extended year, students learn geography and related knowledge."

"If we're going to add more courses, there's a very high chance they'll add Eastern culture here, Gintoki, you'd better be prepared."

Ise Nanao looked at Inuyasha beside her, who was listening attentively and not pursuing the previous questions, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Now that we are integrating into the Eastern Kingdom, we must prioritize the Eastern Kingdom in all matters from now on. We must not violate the laws of the Eastern Kingdom, otherwise even the vice-captain and captain will be severely punished."

"I'll listen to Lieutenant-Captain Ise."

"That's good."

Meeting Inuyasha's clean and trusting eyes, Ise Nanao felt a warmth spread through her heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips as she continued speaking.

"The sixth year, which is also the final year of practical training at the True Spiritual Arts Academy, will involve Soul Burial training, which is the practice of going to the human world to send souls to the Soul Society—"

The girl with glasses paused here, and said uncertainly, "The present world may not necessarily be the present world belonging to our world; it may very well go to other present worlds."

People from the world of the Divine Tree have already appeared in Soul Society, which means they can also travel to other worlds.

What the future holds, Death holds with both anticipation and caution. Good and bad are two sides of the same coin; we must proceed cautiously and wait and see, embracing the present.

"The future is sure to be exciting."

Why do you say that?

In response to Ise Nanao's question, Inuyasha smiled and said, "To experience the wonders of different worlds, to meet people with diverse personalities, and to walk on a path where I can always become stronger."

"Wouldn't a life like that, only found in novels, be incredibly exciting and full of wonder?"

Inuyasha tilted his head and winked at the girl with glasses. "Meeting Lieutenant Ise is truly the first step in my wonderful life here!"

Ise Nanao, who had a frivolous man by her side, was not so easily fooled. She put her hands on her hips and said fiercely.

"I told you not to flirt with your superiors!"

"Okay." Inuyasha pretended to be aggrieved, making the girl with glasses subconsciously reflect on whether she had spoken too harshly.

Gintoki is clearly an outstanding and progressive young man, how could he be as greasy as the captain of the Kyoraku Band? The same words spoken by different people can have different meanings.

"In the future, you should be more careful about how you speak to your seniors. Let's just let it go this time."

Ise Nanao composed herself and led the way while softening her tone.

"Although the Shinigami Academy has a six-year curriculum, it allows students with exceptional talent to skip grades and graduate early. The fastest graduate so far is former Third Division Captain Gin Ichimaru, who graduated in just one year."

The girl with glasses was somewhat displeased.

"Knowing someone has made a mistake but not reporting it, instead attacking and killing a companion to gain their trust—this kind of person claims to be loyal and righteous, but in reality, they're only thinking of themselves. They're truly despicable!"

Social stability stems from rules and regulations.

In her view, Gin Ichimaru clearly had a better way to get justice, such as reporting to the Captain-Commander, but instead he chose to trample on the rules that everyone followed and upheld, which was undoubtedly an insult to the other law-abiding Shinigami.

If everyone acts recklessly, what's the difference between a human and a Hollow in Hueco Mundo?

"Fortunately, Gin Ichimaru finally came to his senses, thanks to the unparalleled God Lord. Otherwise, keeping these treacherous individuals around would have brought untold danger and losses to the Seireitei."

Finally, Ise Nanao didn't forget to give a lecture, "Gintoki, you can't become that kind of person in the future. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me. If I can't handle it, go to the Kyoraku Band leader."

"Don't let his unreliability fool you; when it really matters, the band leader is someone you can count on."

Despite Ise Nanao occasionally reciting Kyoraku Shunsui's name, she has always admired her brother-in-law since childhood.

"Since Ise, the vice-captain, is following me, I certainly believe in the abilities of the Kyoraku-en captain."

Inuyasha's agreement softened Ise Nanao's gaze.

Before long, the two arrived at the Shinigami Academy, which had changed the fate of many souls in Rukongai and altered the landscape of Soul Society.

Formerly known as the "Genryu" school and "Genjijuku" from two thousand years ago, it was officially renamed after the Soul Society defeated the Quincy a thousand years ago.

"Gintoki, you are very talented, but throughout history, there have been countless people stronger than you. Some have already returned to the underworld, while others still stand in the Seireitei."

After completing Inuyasha's enrollment procedures, Ise Nanao looked at the promising young man before her and said sincerely, "There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. You must not be arrogant because of your talent, nor do you need to hide your true abilities."

"Showcasing your talents to the fullest extent and letting everyone see them will greatly benefit your future."

Ise Nanao reached out and straightened Inuyasha's clothes, smiling as she spoke.

"Keep it up, kid. If you're good enough, maybe Vice Captain Matsumoto will come to the academy to find you."

Inuyasha smiled brightly, "I'm a soldier under Lieutenant Ise!"

"Gintoki, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand—we are all Shinigami of the East, not someone's soldiers!"

Ise Nanao was secretly pleased, but she didn't mince words, poking the boy's chest with her finger, "Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity!"

"Understood, Vice-Captain Ise!"

"Pfft."

A soft, melodious laugh rang out from not far away. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gentle and beautiful woman with long, straight black hair at one end of the corridor, giving them an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." The newcomer bowed gracefully and said, "I am Uchiha Mikoto, from the world of the Divine Tree. I was a classmate of Gintoki. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

After the Nine-Tails was taken away by the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan, along with Danzo Shimura and Konoha, were destroyed, a large number of characters in "Naruto," both named and unnamed, died.

Mikoto Uchiha, who was targeted as the wife of the Uchiha clan leader during the Konoha civil war, was just one of them.

His soul fell into the underworld of the Divine Tree, but before he could be reincarnated, as Inuyasha had more and more contact with the world of the Shinigami, the other underworlds and hells of the Eastern Lands began to connect with the Soul Society intermittently.

Many souls have arrived in Soul Society by chance.

"There are people coming and going in the corridor, so we're the ones who are being loud. But, are you Uchiha Mikoto? I've heard of you before."

The girl with glasses was somewhat worried about Inuyasha. Hearing about Matsumoto Rangiku made her feel uneasy and she wanted to leave, but she didn't like to force people with rules, so she could only say...

"Gintoki, only by being outstanding yourself can you attract excellent people. If you need anything, you can come to me for advice."

"Don't worry, Ise-nee," Inuyasha said with a smile, "I understand everything you're saying."

"The first stop in life must have a beginning and an end, unless Ise-nee dislikes me."

The language of tea, the sudden changes in titles, and Inuyasha's radiant, sun-like smile left Ise Nanao feeling like her brain wasn't quite up to the task.

"I'm leaving now, goodbye."

The girl with glasses tossed out a sentence and hurried away in another direction.

At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto also walked over, wearing a yellow dress that was different from her ordinary home clothes in Konoha, which added a touch of feminine charm to her.

It's like it's been given a second life.

"The formal lessons start in three days. See you then, Gintoki-kun."

"See you later."

Inuyasha said something, watching Uchiha Mikoto slowly leave, a smile playing on his lips as he looked forward to his wonderful daily life in Soul Society.

As for Uchiha Mikoto, a forced relationship may quench thirst, but it's not sweet!

He left a clone behind and took a step, arriving at the Netherworld Hell belonging to the Feather Robe World, the first "Ten Lands" to be controlled by the Eastern Kingdom through the hands of Touya-oh.

Today, Inuyasha will try to move this hellish realm into a part of the Kingdom of Reincarnation, so as to increase the richness of the underworld and support the ever-vast human realm of the East.

The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man are essentially no different from the cycle of the three realms in the world of Death God.

The only difference is that the Eastern Kingdom has a continuous stream of incremental funds to support it.
