XX-level Hokage

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.

Optional Route: Lover/Friend Affection Level: 14

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.

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

"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.

"Although we are an assassination organization, we mostly find our own targets. Of course, we occasionally serve nobles, provided they are willing to pay a high price," Saito Immortal replied.

"If we find our own targets, then is this Quincy, the target of this mission, also someone we found ourselves?" Mashiro continued to ask.

"Well, have you ever heard of the name Yhwach?" Saito asked after a moment's thought. Hearing this, Mashiro nodded; she had learned of the name from records about Quincy when she was reading books.

Yhwach is the founder of the Wandenreich, the common ancestor of all Quincy, and the son of the legendary Soul Lord.

Because the name "Spirit Lord" was mentioned, Mashiro specifically checked all the records about Yhwach in all the books, but unfortunately, they were mostly legends. By piecing together all the legends, Mashiro obtained general information about Yhwach.

Legend has it that Fahbach was not originally named Yhwach; he was born from nothingness as the son of the Spirit Lord.

As an infant, Yhwach was unable to see, hear, speak, or even move. Despite this, he survived because he was born with the ability to "divide his soul"—when someone touches him, he parts off a portion of his soul to fill the gap in the toucher's soul, gradually healing the toucher's psychological or physiological defects.

However, all those who have touched Yhwach do not live long, and because of the death of the person who touched him, the soul that Yhwach had previously separated would return to his own body, thereby healing his body and gradually restoring Yhwach's vision, hearing and other abilities in his infancy.

After recovering from his injuries, Yhwach found himself revered as a god by those who had touched him and received his healing, who called him "Fahbach." As he grew older, Yhwach discovered he could add his blood to wine, and the souls of those who drank it would be branded with a mark of power by Yhwach.

The word "power".

Once the writing is formed, Yhwach can send even more powerful souls into the bodies of those who drink the blood wine. Due to this ability, the soul of anyone killed by a member of the Star Ten Knights, who has been granted Yhwach's power, will be absorbed by Yhwach after death.

Bach must continuously absorb the souls of others, or he will revert to the weak state he was in at birth, or even die from exhaustion.

After that, Yhwach and his Star Ten Knights created the Quincy race through their own blood, and there are no further records of them.

“I remember Yhwach was just a legend among the Quincy, since no one has ever actually seen him,” Mashiro said. “A legend? No, no, no, this isn’t a legend. Yhwach really exists. Although we don’t know if he’s really the Soul King’s son, there is…”

One thing is certain: he is the king of the Quincy.

As long as the Quincy are still working to awaken Yhwach, and they are about to succeed.

"Mashiro, you've only just become a Shinigami, so you might not realize it yet, but the Quincy are becoming increasingly active." Saito Immortal spoke up. "So, does this mean our assassination target is related to Yhwach's awakening?" Mashiro instantly grasped the key point. "Mashiro-chan is really clever." Saito Immortal nodded.

“It seems we should kill him to prevent Yhwach’s resurrection.” Mashiro connected the dots.

“No, no, no, our mission target is the Quincy Balmer. He is a Quincy who is firmly opposed to reviving Yhwach. Didn’t I mention it before? He is a class.” Saito, the immortal, shook his head and said.

"That's truly astonishing." Masashi paused for a moment, then something occurred to her. She remembered that in the system introduction, Yamamoto's identity was described in the following way.

"Founder of the Seireitei Gotei 13 and first captain of the 1st Division, 'founder of the Genryu school and head instructor of the Gen-seki school, founder of the Shinigami Academy, possessing absolute authority in Soul Society."

Gotei 13.

The Gotei 13 (Seireitei Guardian Division 13). Founder of the Shinigami Academy.

He holds absolute authority in the world of Tokumi.

How did an assassination organization come to be known as the Seireitei, how did it establish the Shinigami Academy, and how did it gain absolute authority in the Soul Society?

Unless, he led the Gotei 13 to do something, something of immense significance to the world of Tokage.

Yhwach. The Invisible Empire.

Quincy and Death God.

Mashiro realized what was happening instantly.

Chapter Thirteen: The First Mission (Part Two)

“Indeed, I was also surprised when I first found out, but since it’s the Captain-Commander’s order, there’s no need to think about it too much,” Saito Immortal said.

Of course she knew the inside story, after all, she was one of the core members of that plan. However, she was not qualified to tell others about the plan casually. "Alright, we're almost there," Saito Immortal said, glancing at the distant mountains, and changed the subject.

In the Bone Mountains of Hueco Mundo, the air is filled with a strong aura of souls, which brings with it an even more oppressive atmosphere.

Saito, the immortal being, and the members of the Sixth Division walked slowly, the white sand crunching softly under their feet, accompanied by a few eerie whispers carried on the cool breeze, and the faint hum of Hollows echoing in the distance.

The White Bone Mountain Range is hidden in a desolate desert. Its body is pale and fragmented quartz, like a dead meteorite, standing there in an ominous posture.

Saito, seemingly immortal, stood at the foot of the mountain range, her expression growing increasingly serious. She glanced around and asked, "Shuichi, have you found Ren?"

Xiu Yi gazed silently at the massive cliff, a thought stirring within him: "I sense that the spiritual energy fluctuations here are extremely unusual; it seems as if many voids are lurking within."

Look, Balvi is indeed hidden in these mountains.

His words carried a hint of unease, yet also revealed a thoughtful expression.

“Alright, let’s send a few people to investigate and confirm.” Saito’s immortal voice was slightly cold. “We don’t have time to delay any longer. We must find Balmer as soon as possible and kill him!”

Immediately, a member of the Sixth Division named Yoshikawa, a Shinigami, was dispatched. They approached the mountain cautiously, trying not to make a sound. Time seemed to freeze in their waiting, quiet and merciless.
