In Soul Society, I just want to retire

"I don't want to take care of so many people. It's so annoying." Shutara Senjumaru continued.

Yamabuki Detang also understood that Shutara Senjumaru's goal was very simple: don't let others control me, and I don't want to control others, and then live a free and easy life.

From a certain perspective, he and Shutara Senjumaru are quite similar. We both want to live a carefree and free life.

Hikifune Kiryu showed an embarrassment. After hundreds of years of development, the 12th Division was no longer the division that relied on combat effectiveness to determine its status.

The current 12th Division is competing to see who has the stronger scientific research ability. Arihime Zenjoji and Kiryu Hikifune are both talented people who are excellent in both scientific research and martial arts.

It is for this reason that Hikifune Kiryu plans to ask Shutara Senjumaru, who created the Shinigami suit, to help him manage the 12th Division, so that his pressure will be reduced a lot.

But I didn't expect that even though we had been good sisters for hundreds of years, she would not agree.

However, she also knew about Shutara Senjumaru's tsundere personality.

You deserve to be single for hundreds of years. You tsundere don’t deserve love.

Hikifune Kiryu was really at a loss and could only look at Yamabuki Detang, hoping that he could help solve the problem.

"I think I understand what you mean. That bastard Zenjoji Arihime is planning to run away and pass the position of captain of the 12th Division to you, but you don't have a suitable vice-captain... I see, it's not just a vice-captain you're missing. While the 12th Division doesn't judge status by combat prowess, there are plenty of powerful individuals who can become official Shinigami. You want to choose someone who can truly help you solve your problems, right?" Yamabuki Toto said to Hikifune Kiryu, "Leave it to me. Watch how I can convince her with my eloquent tongue!"

Shutara Senjumaru was still angry, and when he saw Yamabuki Ditang coming over, he stared at him angrily.

"I know you are angry, but don't be angry first. I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious first. I roughly understand what you are thinking, but you just don't want to be constrained. I have a win-win solution that can satisfy Hikifune Kiryu and you at the same time." Yamabuki Detang looked at Shutara Senjumaru with a smile.

Shutara Senjumaru glared at Yamabuki Ditang coldly: "What other good ideas can you come up with?"

"Of course! If you become the vice-captain of the 12th Division, you will have constraints between superiors and subordinates, and many times you will have to obey the orders of your superiors. With your personality, this will definitely make you very unhappy. But if you don't join the 12th Division, you won't be able to help Hikifune Kiryu solve his problems. It's very contradictory, right?" Yamabuki Ditang said with a smile.

"In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple. Just set up a separate position. Let's call this position a consultant. The 12th Division will hire you as a consultant. If the 12th Division encounters various problems, you have to help solve them. But you are not a member of the 12th Division in essence. Be they captain or vice-captain, their orders have no effect on you. Everything depends on your mood. And you can directly enjoy the salary and benefits of the captain level. How about it?" Yamabuki Ditang asked with a smile.

"This..." Shutara Senjumaru pondered for a moment, obviously moved by what he said.

Even though she is a tsundere, she and Hikifune Kiryu have been friends for hundreds of years, so she would definitely help if she could.

Hikifune Kiryu clapped his hands beside him. "You're the one who came up with this idea! How about it, Senjumaru? If you agree to become an advisor to our 12th Division, you'll be a member of the 12th Division, but you won't be under anyone's command, and you'll be able to solve all kinds of problems perfectly."

Shutara Senjumaru glared at Yamabuki Detang unhappily.

Although he was still angry, Shutara Senjumaru had to admit that Yamabuki Detang's way of handling things was very clever. He easily solved these seemingly difficult problems. He was worthy of being able to control the Gotei 13 for hundreds of years.

"If that's the case, I can reluctantly consider it!" Shudorashi Senjumaru actually agreed with Yamabuki Detang's opinion after saying this, but her tsundere personality prevented her from agreeing immediately, and she was a little hesitant.

Yamabuki Ditang was very proud, but at this moment he suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.

Oh, and where's Yoruichi? This girl usually wants to cause chaos, but after holding hands with Shutora and talking for so long, how could she be so quiet?

An ominous premonition appeared in Yamabuki Ditang's heart.

What can make a naughty child completely quiet down?

Answer: When this naughty kid is getting into trouble!

Yamabuki Ditang hurriedly turned around to look for Yoruichi.

Ye Yi was lying next to a ball of spirit particles with a curious look on his face.

This group of spirit particles looks very strange, flashing with fantastic and magnificent light, and there is a layer of barrier blocking it outside.

But there is a small hole at the top of the barrier, just enough for a child to put his hand in.

Out of curiosity, Ye Yi wanted to touch this magical light with his little hands.

Just as she put her little hand in, she heard the roars of several scientific researchers.

“Don’t touch!!!”

Ye Yi's finger was less than a centimeter away from touching the strange light. He was startled by the researcher and quickly pulled his hand back.

"What are you doing? So loud!" Ye Yi complained.

Several researchers looked furious. They grabbed Ye Yi's clothes and lifted her up into the air. "Whose child is this? Why did you end up here? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

"How did you get down here? Where are your parents? Who brought you in?" The researchers grabbed Ye Yi and asked.

"How did I get down? Of course I took the stairs. None of you tried to stop me. I just walked down." Ye Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes. Your security level is too poor.

Chapter 283: Fear of insufficient firepower

At this moment, Yamabuki Detang and Hikifune Kiryu also arrived.

Yamabuki Ditang looked at Ye Yi with a strange expression.

The laboratory under their feet was built in the basement of the 12th Division. Anyone who wanted to come down needed an ID card, and every door was guarded by guards. No one knew how Yoruichi jumped out.

"By the way, what was that ball of light that you were shouting about just now? You seemed very nervous." Ye Yi asked curiously.

When several scientific researchers saw their deputy captain and the chief of staff coming, their tone became much more restrained.

"That's a very dangerous thing. If your finger had accidentally touched it just now, your life would be in danger." The researcher said with a look of resentment.

Yamabuki Detang was also curious about what these people were researching. Hikifune Kiryu smiled and said, "Do you still remember that topic you proposed over ten years ago? The one about the spirit particle cannon?"

Yamabuki Ditang suddenly remembered and looked at Hikifune Kiryu with curiosity. "I'm also confused. With your skills, it wouldn't take you more than a month to develop the spirit particle cannon, right? Why haven't you come up with a useful plan after ten years? Are you trying to defraud funding?"

Yamabuki Ditang's face darkened when he said this.

"How is that possible? I look so honest, do I look like the kind of person who would defraud funds?" Hikifune Kiryu asked, puffing out her plump chest.

Yamabuki Ditang nodded seriously. "That's very kind indeed. Then, can you tell me what you have been researching for the past ten years?"

Since her financial lifeline was in someone else's hands, Hikifune Kiryu could only snap her fingers and let Yamabuki Detang follow her into the depths of the laboratory.

As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that caught his eye was none other than the colorful ball of spirit particles that Yoruichi had seen earlier.

"Don't tell me that you have only developed a ball in ten years?" Yamabuki Ditang stared at Hikifune Kiryu with an unhappy look on his face.

"This is not an ordinary ball. Come on, guys, let the General Staff see how powerful our ball is." Hikifune Kiryu said to an experimenter beside him.

An experimenter carefully took out a syringe similar to a needle, extracted five milliliters of lepton from the colorful lepton group, and then injected it into a glass bottle.

Afterwards, Hikifune Kiryu brought everyone to the blasting site.

He placed the glass bottle containing the lepton cluster on the ground and trotted back to the back of the bunker. The experimenter next to him nodded.

The experimenter next to him pressed the detonator directly after receiving the order.

"boom!!!!!"

In an instant, it was like dozens of kilograms of TNT exploded at the same time. The huge shock wave and air wave covered up all sounds. Yamabuki Ditang hurriedly hugged Ye Yi and opened the outer shell of the static blood suit to isolate all explosions and impacts.

Even so, the ground was cracked into pieces by the explosion, and the scattered flying rocks were like cannonballs, many of which were even embedded directly into the wall.

It took a full half minute for everyone to regain consciousness.

"Sister, I asked you to study the spirit particle artillery, not the nuclear weapons! Five milliliters have such a great power, and you put such a large ball directly in the office! If it explodes directly, you can even save the money for cremation!" Yamabuki Ditang roared madly.

Hikifune Kiryu dug his ear nearby. "Don't worry. It's not that easy to detonate that ball of spirit particles. It requires special means. Otherwise, even if you kick it like a ball, it won't explode. Of course, those researchers were just instinctively frightened by a child suddenly approaching that ball of spirit particles. You don't have to take it to heart."

Looking at the power of the explosion in front of him, Yamabuki Ditang suddenly felt that the money he had spent over the past ten years was worth it.

As for the stability of the spirit particle, Yamabuki Detang did not say much. For example, C4 explosives also require special means to detonate. Otherwise, if you put the explosives directly into the fire, it will not explode and can only burn as fuel.

"However, our goal is just to kill the Hollow. Isn't it a bit too wasteful for you to make such a big fuss?" Yamabuki Ditong stared at Hikifune Kiryu with a strange look on his face. If Yamabuki Ditong didn't know Hikifune Kiryu inside and out, Yamabuki Ditong would even suspect that Hikifune Kiryu was a time traveler like himself, and even had an incurable disease, the fear of insufficient firepower.

The explosion of a 5 milliliter cluster of spirit particles had such power. If the entire cluster of spirit particles in the laboratory had exploded at that time, the power would probably be equivalent to a small nuclear weapon, which could directly kill all the members of the 12th Division.

"You also said that the purpose of these spirit particle cannons is to maintain the safety of Soul Society. If they are not powerful enough, it will definitely not work. So for the past ten years, I have been researching how to maximize the power of the shells. After researching and researching, I came up with this thing!" Hikifune Kiryu said innocently.

Yamabuki Ditang even forgot his original purpose, which was to bring Ye Yi here to have a free meal.

"Can you control this thing stably? And give it a name?" asked Yamabuki Ditang.

Hikifune Kiryuu smiled wickedly. "Of course, naming is for the boss. How can a nobody like me be qualified to name a child? What do you think it should be called?"

Yamabuki Detang didn't notice the smirk on Hikifune Kiryu's face.

"If you ask me, it's called a spirit core. The manufacturing process is classified as top secret. If this thing is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yamabuki Ditang said.

"Of course it's no problem! Whatever the leader says is what we do! It's just..." Hikifune Kiryu suddenly stretched out his index, middle, and thumb fingers and kept pinching them together. "It's just that the research funds are a bit low these days. Do you think... can you solve it?"

Yamabuki Ditang's brows twitched. So your ultimate goal is to ask me for research funding!

However, seeing the terrifying destructive power of the spirit core, Yamabuki Ditang approved another ten years of funding without hesitation.

This thing may not have much destructive power against top-tier warriors, but it is definitely a dimensionality-reducing blow to ordinary Hollows and Quincies.

"Also, how is the development of the wormhole going? The spirit particle artillery must be used in conjunction with the wormhole to be fully utilized." Yamabuki Ditang asked.

Hikifune Kiryu heard a cough and then continued to lick his fingers.

Yamabuki Ditang couldn't help but roll his eyes. "That's enough! I've already approved ten years of research funding for you. How much more do you want?"

"Since this is your attitude, leader, the research on wormholes will not be applied in actual combat until at least ten years later. After all, the ten years of funding you approved were all used for the research on spirit cores." Hikifune Kiryu said bluntly.

Yamabuki Ditang's brows twitched wildly, and he had no choice but to approve another ten years of funding.

The baby feels bitter in his heart, but he doesn't say anything.

Chapter 284: They are all liars! They are all liars!

Looking at the extra ten years of funding in hand, Hikifune Kiryu was extremely proud: "Don't look so bitter, do you think I don't know the financial situation of the Gotei 13? We lack everything except money!"

Yamabuki Ditang covered his face helplessly, then asked, "Now that we've received the ten-year research funding, can you tell me when wormhole technology can be put into practical use?"

Hikifune Kiryu pondered for a moment, then gave an answer that nearly made Yamabuki Ditang vomit blood: "If nothing unexpected happens in the final round of experiments, it will be ready for use in ten days."

Yamabuki Ditang froze in place. He stretched out his ten fingers, counted them, and asked, "You mean ten days later, right?"

Hikifune Kiryu narrowed his eyes and hid the approved funding slip against his chest: "Yes, it will be put into official use in ten days."

"Then why do you ask me for ten years of funding! You are a bandit! Even bandits are not as black-hearted as you! Give me back the money quickly!" Yamabuki Ditang screamed miserably, and Ye Yi looked at Yamabuki Ditang hysterically with a look of watching the fun.

Hikifune Kiryu puffed out her ample chest and said, "Come and get it if you're brave enough! I'll put the note you just approved on my chest. Come and get it if you're brave enough!"

Yamabuki Ditang rolled up his sleeves and glared at Hikifune Kiryu fiercely: "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

"That's right, I just think you don't dare!" Hikifune Kiryu looked at Yamabuki Detang provocatively.

Shanbuki Ditang sneered, "You unreasonable woman! Everyone, you all saw it. I didn't provoke her, she provoked me! Since that's the case, I can only feed the devil with my own body. Don't think that dribbling the ball into someone is a big deal. I'm really going to do it! Everyone, don't try to stop me, I'm really going to do it!"

Yamabuki Ditang looked around and found that whether it was the members of the 12th Division or Shutara Senjumaru, they were all staring at him with a smile, with no intention of stopping him at all. How come these people have no tacit understanding at all! When the leader said "Don't stop me", he quickly went up and grabbed the leader!

"Ahem! I, I really have to do it!" Yamabuki Ditang said it again, but everyone just looked like they were watching a show.

Shanchui Ditang made up his mind to do it once and for all. He would not suffer any loss anyway. At worst he would get beaten up afterwards. It was worth it!

Of course, when I say it was worth it, I mean the ten years of research funds that were defrauded. Anyone who has wrong ideas can go and face the wall.

However, just as Yamabuki Ditang made up his mind and put his hand on Hikifune Kiryu's chest, ready to rip out his heart, Hikifune Kiryu screamed, "This is molestation! There are hooligans! Help! The chief of staff of the Gotei 13 is bullying a weak woman like me!"

Yamabuki Ditang was frightened by the sharp cry and quickly retracted her hand. "Are you trying to play this trick on me? Can't you afford it?"

A weak woman? You call someone who can perform a craniotomy on Vastoder with her bare hands a weak woman?

Shudorashi Senjumaru was the first to react, looking at Yamabuki Ditang with disdain: "Scumbag! How dare you do such a thing to a girl! My favorability towards you has been refreshed again."

Yamabuki Ditang looked at the researcher next to him. The researcher coughed lightly and said, "It's better for us small fry not to get involved in the affairs of the big shots. What happened between you and our vice-captain... If anyone asks me, I'll just say I don't know!"

Yamabuki Ditang felt like vomiting blood. Isn't it more likely to cause misunderstanding if you say this?

Finally, Yamabuki Ditang turned his gaze to Yoruichi and held Yoruichi's hand: "Yuruichi, you must believe in the teacher, right?"

Ye Yi silently pulled his hand back: "Let's sever our master-disciple relationship!"

Hikifune Kiryu proudly held up the funding approval document. "So what? Do you still want to go back now?"

"Hmph, Hikifune Kiryu, you win, but I don't accept it. Sooner or later, I will take revenge. Just wait! A gentleman's revenge is never too late!" Yamabuki Ditang wailed in despair.

"Okay! I'll just wait and see what surprise you can give me." Hikifune Kiryu said nonchalantly.

In short, the fight was over, and Yamabuki Ditang lost twenty years of research funds in vain, but in return he gained mature wormhole technology and new weapons such as spirit cores, which should be worth it.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the day arrived for Hikifune Kiryu to deliver the goods.

Yamabuki Detang had previously held a meeting and had directly told the captains: "A groundbreaking weapon will be born tomorrow. All captains must be present at the scene, no matter what their reasons."

The most curious person must be the old man Captain Yamamoto.

"What weird things are you researching recently? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" asked the captain.

"Are you senile? We started researching this thing ten years ago. It's not something that was invented recently on a whim. And I guarantee that with these weapons, the overall combat capability of the Gotei 13 will be greatly enhanced." Yamabuki Detang said solemnly.
