XX-level Hokage

Unlike the Hado, the Bakudo is a demonic path aimed at binding and restricting. It shares the same concept as the Hado, and its power is reduced if it is not chanted. However, the Bakudo can be strengthened by chanting after it is used.

Finally, the primary function of the Resurrection Path is only healing, making it a completely supportive type of Kido. "I wonder which Kido Captain Saito is going to teach me?" Mashiro asked curiously.

"I'm better at Hado than Bakudo. As for Kaido, I doubt many Shinigami know it. Only the Fourth Division of the Gotei 13 has some," Saito Immortal replied.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Captain Saito." Mashiro nodded with a smile.

"I'll teach you three techniques today, and two more tomorrow. The five techniques I'll teach you are all quite practical Breaking Techniques. First, Breaking Technique One: Thrust."

As he spoke, Saito unleashed a small shockwave from his immortal fingertip. The shockwave struck the courtyard outside the house, instantly creating a hole in the ground.

"The 'Rush' is the most basic Hakudo, and it's the first Hakudo that almost all Shinigami who know Kido learn. Although the 'Rush' won't be very useful once you learn some of the later Hakudo, it's very suitable for you right now."

After saying that, Saito, who was immortal, began to explain to Mashiro the method and techniques for releasing the Hado Rush. Half an hour later, Mashiro successfully mastered the Rush.

"Captain Saito, there's something I'm confused about. I remember that casting Kido requires chanting a pleasant incantation, right?" Mashiro asked, somewhat puzzled.

“For those powerful or special types of demonic arts, chanting is certainly necessary, but for basic demonic arts, chanting can be completely omitted.”

To take the example of a madaka, simply put, the chanting of the hymn can be omitted for madakas below level 30.

"Of course, for some powerful Shinigami, even those with advanced Hado of level 30 or higher can skip the chanting of the incantation, but that's too early for you," Saito Immortal explained.

"Judging from what you're saying, Captain, you must also be one of those powerful Shinigami who can skip chanting incantations," Mashiro said with a smile.

"Haha, that's true, but there are only a few moves. For me, Kido is actually not very useful, Binding Dao doesn't suit my fighting style, and Returning Dao is even less relevant. The only one I've learned is Hado, but Hado is like a chicken bone to me right now."

"Mid-to-low level Breakthroughs can omit the chanting, but the damage isn't enough. High-level Breakthroughs can't completely omit the chanting. Since the chanting can't be omitted, it's very troublesome. It's faster for someone like me to go up and hack a few times." Saito Immortal shook his head and said.

"From that perspective, Kido is indeed quite useless for a Shinigami of your caliber, Captain," Mashiro sighed.

Mashiro originally wanted to find an opportunity to study Kido in depth, since Kido in this world is like Ninjutsu. In a ninja duel, the side with more Ninjutsu undoubtedly has a huge advantage.

Upon hearing Saito's words about immortality, Mashiro hesitated. Indeed, if advanced Kido couldn't cancel the incantation, it would be like advanced Shinobi...

If the hand seals cannot be removed from the technique, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"That's not quite right. I'd say it's rather useless to me personally, compared to advanced Breaking Techniques, which have vastly different power levels."

"If I could reach the point where chanting the incantation is unnecessary, for example, by raising my hand and striking with the Ninety Black Coffin of the Dao, even if the Black Coffin's power is only one-third of its original strength, I would be killed instantly without time to defend myself. Although I wouldn't die, I would be severely injured." Saito Immortal explained.

"I see." After thinking for a moment, Mashiro had another idea.

If we combine the release method of Hado with ninjutsu, will a new Hado be created?... "Alright, let's learn the second form, Hado No. 4 White Lightning."

As Saito, who was immortal, released a blue-white lightning bolt from his fingertip.

The Fourth Destruction, White Lightning, can paralyze an enemy's body and is one of the most commonly used Destruction techniques by Shinigami against Hollows.

Then, Saito, who was immortal, began to explain to Mashiro the method and techniques for releasing the Fourth Hado Technique, White Lightning. In the same half hour, Mashiro successfully mastered the White Lightning.

Chapter 11: The First Mission (Part 1)

"As expected, Mashiro, your talent is truly remarkable! The speed at which you learn Kido is astounding. If the Kido practitioners in the city knew, I think they would..."

"They'll definitely be very interested in you," Saito Immortal suddenly said.

"The Ghost Path?"

"A special unit that specializes in using demonic arts, specializing in tasks such as opening passages, breaking barriers, and sealing things. They are considered a cooperative force of the Grim Reapers, but they are not very useful," Saito Immortal said with great disdain.

"I see. Mashiro didn't ask any further questions."

"Alright, let's move on to the next move, the Twelve Subdued Fires of the Destruction." After saying that, Saito Immortal stretched out his palm, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air, which then unfolded into a huge fire net.

"Although the Hidden Fire manifests as a net of fire, it cannot be used to bind an opponent, because it will explode immediately once it covers the opponent. The reason it is net-shaped is simply to increase the blast radius." As he spoke, Saito Immortal lowered his palm and lightly clenched it. Instantly, a series of explosions spread out.

"This is a good method," Mashiro muttered to herself. If it weren't for the fact that chakra doesn't exist in this world, she would really like to try converting this technique into fire release.

Perhaps because it involves changes in form, under Saito's guidance of immortality, it took Mashiro an hour to master the Twelve Fukuho of the Hakudo.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back and practice these three forms of Hakado first. I'll teach you two more complex ones tomorrow." Yawning, Saito Immortal sat back down in his chair.

Upon hearing this, Mashiro nodded slightly, said goodbye, and left. The next day, Mashiro arrived at the captain's office as promised.

"Today I will teach you two complex Hakudo techniques, which are also Hakudo after Hakudo Thirty. First is Hakudo Thirty-One: Red Fire Cannon." After saying that, Saito Immortal stretched out his hand towards the wall of the courtyard.

"You ruler! Masks of flesh and blood, all things, soaring wings, things bearing the name of mankind! Scorching heat and strife, rising southward across the sea, marching forward!"

As the incantation began, a pink ball of light appeared from Saito's immortal palm, then suddenly shot out with a "BOOM!"

The ball of light struck the wall, shattering it instantly before collapsing with a deafening roar.

"Captain! What's wrong?!" "What happened?!"

The loud noise prompted the members of the nearby Sixth Division to rush over.

"It's nothing, I'll get someone to fix it tomorrow." Saito, seemingly neither old nor dead, said lazily, looking at the Sixth Division members who had gathered around. "Yes, Captain Saito!"

The team members who surrounded him did not question him at all, nodded, and left.

The power of all Kido is related to the amount of spiritual energy injected, so remember to pay attention to the remaining spiritual energy in your body when releasing it. If you forcefully use Kido if you don't have enough spiritual energy, you will be directly attacked by the backlash. "Saito Immortal said to Mashiro.

“I understand, Captain Saito.” Mashiro nodded slightly.

"Next, the Thirty-Three of the Hakado: Azure Flame Fall." Saito Immortal stretched out his hand.

"The ruler, a mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring high, bearing the name of humanity, truth and temperance, standing only as claws on the wall of a dream that knows no sin."

As the incantation began, a massive white flame appeared, then gathered and surged into the sky, instantly turning the air into a white sea of ​​fire. Afterwards, the immortal Saito began teaching Mashiro how to use the Crimson Fire Cannon and Azure Fire Drop.

It took Mashiro a whole day to master these two rather complex shamanic paths, especially since they required chanting.

"This is really troublesome, especially chanting the incantations." Mashiro said helplessly as she lay on the ground, having exhausted her spiritual energy once again.

"You've already done a remarkable job. It took me a whole week to learn those two Hado techniques," Saito said with a somewhat complicated expression. "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like Captain Saito is taking good care of me," Mashiro said suddenly, looking at the orange sky.

Upon hearing Mashiro's words, Saito Immortal fell silent. After a moment, he straddled the ground, pinched Mashiro's face, and said with an extremely arrogant expression, "Sometimes, being too smart isn't a good thing."

Having said that, Saito, who was immortal, got up and walked away.

"I have a mission the day after tomorrow. You'll be coming with me. I'll lose a lot of my rationality when I'm in combat mode, but I won't be able to protect you. Good luck." After Saito Immortal left, Mashiro suddenly laughed.

Affection level: 10 (starting points + 1) (already obtained)

Affection value: 50 (starting points + 3) Affection value: 90 (starting points + 5)

Through spending the past two days with Saito Immortal, Mashiro discovered something interesting: Saito Immortal's affection level towards her always fluctuates, ranging from 11 to 68. However, the 045 system's judgment method is different from the 011 system, and the fluctuating affection level does not result in any reward.

However, this also made Mashiro realize something.

Saito, being immortal, harbors some special feelings for her, or rather, some special feelings for seeing her reflection in someone else. This gives Mashiro a lot of room to maneuver.

"So, should we go the lover route or the best friend route?" Mashiro muttered to herself. Finally, a smile appeared on Mashiro's lips as she made her choice.

Name: Saito Immortal Gender: Female

Zanpakuto: Ten Thousand Frost Gods

Initial interpretation: Rongba! All things under the frosty sky!

Identity: First Captain of the 6th Division of the Gotei 13

Optional Route: Lover's Affection Level: 14

Trust value: 50 (initial point + 3) Trust value: 90 (initial point + 5)

"After all, I'll be staying in this world for a long time. Without a lover to pat my head and hug me, it's really boring." Muttering to herself, Mashiro got up and left. In the captain's room, in quiet contemplation.

Saito, seemingly immortal, sat on the tatami mat with his knees drawn up to his chest, gazing at the magnificent sky outside the window and the occasional raven flying overhead. "Rin."

Saito, who was immortal, uttered a name from the corner of his mouth.

A figure then appeared in her mind.

“This girl is a lot like you, especially those bright green eyes. However, she’s much smarter than you,” Saito Immortal whispered.

(pS: Since she is a decomposed soul, Mashiro does not have white eyes, so her eyes are emerald green.) Two days later.

In the courtyard where the Sixth Division was located, all members of the Sixth Division had assembled.

"You should already know about this mission: to assassinate the Quincy Balmer. His ability is very special; he can hypnotize and control Hollows below the level of Vasto Lorde through a pocket watch."

This ability is troublesome to deal with, especially since he is a Quincy who abandoned his duties as a Quincy and chose to collude with the Hollows.

Chapter Twelve: The First Mission (Part 2)

Saito, who is immortal, spoke with great excitement.

This is a formidable opponent, especially since they are a Quincy.

"Anyway, the location has been determined. We'll set off first, and the Fourth Division will meet us later..." He paused, then continued, "Mashiro, you come with me."

“Yes, Captain Saito,” Mashiro said with a light laugh.

Hueco Mundo, located between the human world and the Soul Society, is a space where Hollows and Arrancar live. Even Shinigami cannot know what is happening in this place.

Hueco Mundo is different from the Soul Society. It does not have city-like areas with streets and buildings like the real world. Instead, it is a barren land with desolate white desert-like ground and dead trees made of quartz-like material scattered everywhere.

The day is like night, and the moon faces the opposite direction from the present world.

Compared to the human world and the Soul Society, the concentration of spiritual particles in the atmosphere is extremely high. Ordinary Hollows can obtain sufficient energy simply by breathing, and it can greatly enhance the abilities of Soul Reapers and Quincy.

Therefore, the moment Mashiro stepped into Hueco Mundo through the portal, she sensed a change in the spiritual energy within her body. "The power is incredibly abundant; it even permeates the air," Mashiro murmured.

"If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be such a large number of Hollows gathered here. It could be said that if it weren't for the scarcity of resources and the harsh environment in Hueco Mundo, the Seireitei would have been established here." Saito, the immortal, yawned.

She hates long-distance travel the most; it's so boring.

"That's true, after all, all you can see all around is white desert and withered trees." Mashiro looked around and said with a smile.

Hueco Mundo is different from the Soul Society; it is a barren land, covered in sand, a desolate and bleak scene. There are no plants here, and those things that look like withered branches are actually quartz. There are small animals, though, but they all wear masks and have a hole in their chests.

"Captain, how do we accept our missions?" Mashiro suddenly asked curiously. "What?" Saito Immortal asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't our Gotei 13 an assassination organization? Then there must be a reason for taking on assassination missions," Mashiro said with a light laugh.
