In Soul Society, love and bond begin

Just as the two of them were muttering to each other, they heard the scabbard in the hands of the old man standing in the middle of the mountain drop to the ground with a dull "dong" sound.

"Deputy Captain of the 11th Division."

"Fujimiya Makoto."

"Are you guilty?"

The next moment, everyone present once again focused their attention on him.

Fujimiya Makoto raised his head in confusion:

"what?"

Chapter 124: What a Vicious Zanpakutō!

In the spacious First Squadron barracks, two rows of captain-level strongmen stood on both sides, all with solemn expressions.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's voice was like a loud bell, deafening.

Fujimiya Makoto stood in the queue, and even when he raised his head, he still had a puzzled expression on his face.

However, I don’t know if this is an illusion.

Quebu, who was standing next to the old man in the mountain, gave him a subtle wink.

Noticing the look in Suzube's eyes, Fujimiya Makoto decided to trust him for once. He walked out of the queue obediently, half-knelt on the ground, and acted with confidence.

"I don't know."

Seeing that he was still obedient, the old man nodded secretly and gestured to the side:

"Quebu."

"Yes."

Chief Suzuki Chojiro walked out from behind the old man and gestured to everyone, "Now, read out the charges against Vice Captain Fujimiya Makoto of the 11th Division."

Fujimiya Makoto, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes.

You're trying to trick me?!

However, no matter how resentful he felt, Quebu still spoke slowly.

"On the day before yesterday, between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Vice Captain Fujimiya Makoto unauthorizedly used an unknown attribute ability within the 79th and 80th districts of West Ryuhun Street, causing a large-scale collapse of the basic spirit particles in the 79th district."

"Now, the suspect, Fujimiya Makoto, is ordered to truthfully recount the events."

"hiss--"

The killers, who originally thought that their military advisor had just made a minor mistake, almost gasped in surprise after hearing the news.

Those who spoke out were mainly the vice-captains who were still unaware of the situation.

The look he gave Fujimiya Makoto suddenly changed.

The captains standing further ahead had obviously learned some news in advance, and their looks towards Fujimiya Makoto suddenly became more complicated.

Although I had heard about the deeds of this "successor" before, I had expected that he would do something extraordinary.

However, after hearing the full outcome of the incident, I couldn't help but feel a little wary of him.

The aftermath of the battle alone caused the collapse of Soul Society's foundational spirit particles?

What kind of power is this?

Many people thought this in their hearts while turning their eyes to the old man in front of them and Unohana Yachiru who was silent at the back of the team.

In the entire Thirteenth Team, they are the only two guys who can achieve this level, right?

Fujimiya Makinori was still confused and had no idea what the incident was about.

He first glanced in the direction of Unohana teacher, and then saw Unohana teacher smiling and nodding in his direction, indicating that he should just confess the truth.

Noticing the gaze from Unohana-sensei, Fujimiya Makoto finally felt a little relieved.

"Yes."

"The day before yesterday, it was I who requested to practice releasing Shikai with Captain Unohana."

"Because we noticed that the ability has a wide range of influence, we chose to conduct the test in Area 79."

"During the testing process..."

Before he could finish his words, the crowd around him exploded with a bang.

Even the captains who had been mentally prepared could not help but widen their eyes and look at Fujimiya Makoto with disbelief after hearing that it was only his "Shikai" that caused this huge disaster.

Everyone standing here knows very well what 'Shikai' is.

As the truest manifestation of the soul essence of the Shinigami, the Shikai (Shikai) only needs to reach around tenth level of spiritual power to be deployed under normal circumstances. This is standard for high-ranking officers, and there are countless Shikai throughout the Soul Society - but even the most outrageous Shikai can only increase the total amount of spiritual pressure by two to three times the basic ability of the Shinigami.

However, the guy in front of me...

After thinking about this, most of the people present looked at Fujimiya Makoto as if they were looking at a complete monster of the Kōshō type.

really.

For the group of killers present, strength, record and ability are the most effective ways of communication.

Even Shikatori Bakunsai subconsciously turned his head to look at Fujimiya Makoto.

Although she had heard some information from the old man in the mountain before, it was only about Fujimiya Makoto and Unohana having a fierce fight.

I originally thought it was a clash between Bankai.

After all, was her imagination still too conservative?

"Shikai...?"

A glimmer of light flashed under Shikatori Bayunsai's lenses, and when he looked at Fujimiya Makoto, the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up.

After the noise and clamor spread in the team barracks for a while, the old man in the mountain slammed his scabbard heavily on the ground with a cold face, making a dull sound.

"Boom-"

"quiet!"

For a moment, the sound waves around were forcibly suppressed.

At this time, no matter how slow-witted Fujimiya Makoto was, he realized that the old man's intention was not to "ask him a crime" - on the contrary, in a sense, this seemed to be intentionally helping him build his reputation?

Or, should it be a "promotional event" agreed upon by Old Man Yama and Unohana-sensei...?

But why choose this method?

"Fujimiya Makoto, continue your story." The old man said in a deep voice with a cold face.

"Yes."

Fujimiya Makoto then continued, "During the test, I failed to fully control my Shikai ability during my sparring session with Captain Unohana, causing the high-density Reishi to leak out. This caused the surrounding basic Reishi to be invaded, resulting in the collapse of the Reishi base. This is probably the reason."

The old man nodded without comment, then turned to look at Unohana Yachiru on the other side.

"Is this possible?"

Unohana-sensei stepped out of the line and said gently, "To be precise, it was when I used my Bankai to brute-force my way through Makoto-kun's 'Shikai Field' that the collision of our spirit particles caused a large-scale spirit base collapse."

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone present looked at Fujimiya Makoto with even stranger eyes.

Unohana's Bankai?

That legendary villain who is unprecedented and unparalleled?

Shikai versus Bankai.

Moreover, it's the other way around...

However, perhaps because they had experienced too many shocks since the beginning, after hearing this, everyone present stopped having any exaggerated reactions and just looked at Fujimiya Makoto with numb expressions.

Yamamoto Genryusai just nodded slightly, and when he looked at Fujimiya Makoto, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

However, his outward majesty did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, he inquired further, "With your strength, why would you need to use Bankai-level power to deal with Fujimiya Makoto's Shikai state?"

"Is there any other reason for the massive destruction caused to Soul Society this time?"

Unohana Yachiru turned around and looked towards Fujimiya Makoto with a gentle smile: "This matter... is related to Makoto-kun's Zanpakutō ability."

"Ok?"

Noticing Unohana's gaze, all the captains and vice-captains present turned to look at him at the same time.

In an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes turned to him.

Fujimiya Makoto was under great pressure for a while.

Zanpakutō?

Others may not know what his Zanpakuto's abilities are, but how could he not know it himself?

Is that something that can be told to others?

At this time, in this occasion, with so many captains watching, Fujimiya Makoto shouldn't hide anything.

However, for the sake of his own reputation, he still had to bite the bullet and say:

"Lord Captain."

"Due to its immense destructive power, my subordinate's Shikai ability requires a certain degree of confidentiality. Under normal circumstances, it should not be exposed to others."

The old man nodded slightly after hearing this, and then ordered: "Everyone below the captain level, including the deputy captain, must leave the scene. Ghost Taoist Priest, set up a soundproof barrier."

"Yes."

Although reluctant, no one could disobey the old man's orders.

But until he left, some people still looked at Fujimiya Makoto with great curiosity.

Until only all the team leaders and the ghost Taoist priest of this generation standing next to the old man in the mountain were left in the team barracks.

The old man Shan said calmly, "Cheng, can you speak now?"

Fujimiya Makoto half-knelt on the spot, his whole body numb.

All the captains looked at him.

They are very curious too!

Fujimiya Makoto's mouth hung open for a long moment before hesitantly and half-heartedly answered, "My Shikai is the ability to create a field... where both the enemy and I are forced to duel with equal spiritual pressure... and some small, special, rule-based Zanpakutō abilities."

However, even this half-concealed statement was enough to surprise everyone present.

"Forced Reiatsu to be equal?"

"And it's even Shikai... Has this kind of rule-based ability ever appeared in history?"

"I've heard of it."

"If Shikai is this powerful, then Bankai must be..."

In an instant, all the captains present began to discuss in whispers.

These killers don't really have any hobbies worth mentioning in their lives except fighting for life and death - but precisely because of this, their research and focus on fighting are at the highest level in the entire world.

This one 'rule' alone is enough to put Fujimiya Makoto on par with all of them.

Because, when the spiritual pressure is equal, no one can guarantee that they will not fall into the gutter.

However, it seems that someone realized something.

Obana Danjiro glanced at Unohana Yachiryu standing nearby and said cautiously, "If this is the only rule, it shouldn't be possible to force Yachiryu to the point where he needs to use his Bankai, right?"

There was silence in the field.

Yes.

Others may not know the level of Yachiryu's slashing technique, but how could his comrades not know?

The name of Yachiryu was earned by hacking and killing people in every kendo gym along Rukongai from south to north.

If we put aside all the constraints of spiritual pressure and ability, among all the people present, even Genryusai might not be able to compete with her on equal terms.

Doesn't that mean...?
