Chapter 145 143 Now You Should Know Why They Are Called the Sword Hunters?

Chapter 145 143. Now you know why they are called the Sword Hunters, right?

He is back

After the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni explained the existence of the amnesty order to all the captains present, the appearance of Higashino Hideichi seemed reasonable.

But it is still a little hard to accept.

Why is it Higashino Hideichi?

Unfortunately, the captain who has such a question in his mind is destined to get no answer.

"Although I am determined to get the sword hunter chief of the Sword Hunters, since the captain-general said that at least three captains are needed to witness and assess it, I won't say much. Captains, may I ask, do you want to go one by one or together?"

Higashino Hideichi stood at the door of the first team meeting room and said confidently.

"Let's go together? Higashino Hideichi, you've become more arrogant in these years in the human world, haven't you?

But I like it! Let's have a fight!"

After listening to Higashino Hideichi's presumptuous speech, Zaraki Kenpachi could no longer control his hands that were shaking with excitement. He drew out his Zanpakutō, took a step forward, and made a swift jump and slash.

Pick the moon!

However, when Zaraki Kenpachi finally came in front of Higashino Hideichi, he felt that his eyes suddenly went black. In a short moment, he lost all his vision, and even his beast-like intuition that he had always relied on was temporarily blocked.

And in this dark, a crescent moon suddenly passed through his body from bottom to top like a meteor. After the crescent moon passed, the world returned to normal again, but Zaraki Kenpachi found that he was still flying backwards to the innermost part of the conference room. On the surface of his body, a blood-colored gully that was crushed by the terrifying spiritual pressure could be clearly seen.

"This is."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was far away, saw Higashino Hideichi's move with a solemn expression. Some memories deep in his memory were suddenly evoked. He seemed to have seen a similar slash to this move.

That was when he was still young, and the man named Nimaiya Wangyue used it in front of him.

But at that time, Nimaiya Wangyue's mind was not on kendo. After creating this move, he had always abandoned it and turned to forging swords with full concentration. Therefore, even though the young Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni wanted to learn this move, he was unable to learn it from Nimaiya Wangyue.

The move that Higashino Hideichi used now obviously had a lot of shadows of the slash that Nimaiya Wangyue used at the time, and it seemed to be stronger than the slash that Nimaiya Wangyue used in his memory.

So, where did Higashino Hideichi learn this move?

Compared to the confusion of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the eyes of Unohana Retsu standing beside him flashed with a strange light, and the white right hand unconsciously slid down to the Zanpakutō on his waist.

You really bring me new surprises every time you disappear for a while and come back, Shuichi-kun.

"The gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger, Kenpachi Zaraki, you can't be my opponent now!"

Hideichi Higashino said as he looked at Kenpachi Zaraki flying backwards.

Originally, I thought that after the battles with Kenpachi Zaraki more than a decade ago, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure would recover quickly, but now it seems that Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure has not only not increased, but has decreased compared to more than a decade ago.

Obviously, this should be the work of the captain-in-chief.

Otherwise, without anyone to guide him, even if Kenpachi Zaraki still began to suppress his spiritual pressure when he couldn't find a suitable opponent, it would not decrease so quickly.

Higashino Hideichi estimated that the real strength of Kenpachi Zaraki at this time was probably much lower than when the two first met, and he could only be equated with the current Fengqiao Loujuro.

He was really a typical example of a max-level character who was ruined by himself.

"Don't be so arrogant, Higashino Hideichi, this is the First Division, and in front of you are the current captains of the Gotei 13 Division. Let me meet you!"

After seeing Kenpachi Zaraki being knocked away by Higashino Hideichi with just one move, the current captain of the Seventh Division, Komamura Sajin, who was wearing a huge iron mask on his head and couldn't stand Higashino Hideichi's arrogant face, walked out from the captain formation on the side, drew out his Zanpakutō, and posed towards Higashino Hideichi.

As a werewolf, he was not well-received. He relied on the care and training of the captain-in-chief Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to have his current status. He had great respect for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Although he had never had any contact with Higashino Hideichi before he became the captain, and he had rarely inquired about the information of this defected death god who once fought against four captains alone.

But since the captain-in-chief said that he did not approve of Higashino Hideichi, then Komamura Sajin felt that he had to stand up and help the captain-in-chief to fulfill this wish.

Anyone can be the chief sword hunter of the sword hunters, but Higashino Hideichi, who was rejected by the captain-in-chief himself, is definitely not suitable!

"Are you the only one? Captain Komamura Sajin of the 7th Division, I think we should not waste time. The rest of the captains who want to test me, how about you all come together?"

Higashino Hideichi said with an extremely arrogant look.

This made Soi-Fong, who heard Higashino Hideichi's words, feel that the man in front of her was a little strange.

The former Hideichi was obviously not like this. Was it because of the previous incident that he resented the Gotei 13th Division?

Soi-Fong suddenly felt a little heartbroken. The appearance of the amnesty order made her heart begin to waver. Was it really their fault before?

Soi-Fong hesitated. She wanted to stand in front of Hideichi again and question him about the past, but her intuition told her that this was not a good time.

While Soi-Fong was hesitating, another captain who Higashino Hideichi had not expected stood up.

"Since no one has stood up, I will be the third captain of this assessment reluctantly~"

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, walked out of the captain formation, came to Komamura Sajin in a casual manner, held up the bamboo hat on his head with one hand, looked at Higashino Hideichi and said with a smile.

Kyoraku Shunsui?

Higashino Hideichi chuckled.

Originally, he thought it would be Soi-Fong or the captain of the 10th Division that he was not familiar with who would stand up. After all, among the entire Gotei 13 Division, only these captains would be so "untactful" to stand up and test him.

But even if it was Kyoraku Shunsui, it would not matter. Anyway, the ones that Higashino Hideichi was most worried about would not openly attack him in such an occasion.

One is Aizen Sosuke, one is Unohana Retsu, and the other is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Only these three are the ones that Higashino Hideichi cannot beat now.

As for the rest, if Zaraki Kenpachi was a perfect form, Higashino Hideichi might still be afraid, but unfortunately he is not.

And Kyoraku Shunsui?

His Zanpakutō ability is indeed powerful, but Kyoraku Shunsui is far inferior to his teacher Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Aizen, Unohana Retsu and others in other aspects.

The rustling sound of footsteps sounded in the conference room, and Komamura Sajin took the lead in attacking Higashino Hideichi.

Because he did not get the permission of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Komamura Sajin was stubborn and did not release his Zanpakutō.

Compared with Kenpachi Zaraki, who had not received systematic kendo training and fought entirely on instinct, Komamura Sajin believed that he could fight against Higashino Hideichi under the premise that neither side released their Zanpakutō.

But how could he know what kind of kendo training Higashino Hideichi had received in the past, and how harsh the training he had received in a certain space?

Well, Higashino Hideichi himself actually didn't remember the details of the latter, but the memory of his body was completely retained in Higashino Hideichi.

Step forward, dislocation, block the knife, spin slash, and then end with the moon cut.

After a set of moves, Higashino Hideichi easily resolved Komamura Sajin's attack in the midst of his incredible astonishment, and almost took away half of Komamura Sajin's life.

Fortunately, Kyoraku Shunsui used a number 78 Hado Zanhuarin in time from a distance, forcing Higashino Hideichi to defend with his sword, and he could not continue to pursue.

"Before the captain's meeting, the defense here had been strengthened by the Kidōshu, so there is no problem in using the Zanpakutō to release, Captain Komamura~"

Kyoraku Shunsui saw the reason why Komamura Sajin was so restrained, so he reminded him kindly.

After receiving Kyoraku Shunsui's reminder, Komamura Sajin came back to his senses from his surprise. The former vice-captain of the 11th Division in front of him was indeed a little scary. Although he didn't want to admit it, Komamura Sajin had to admit in his heart that based on Higashino Hideichi's moves just now, Higashino Hideichi's kendo was definitely better than his.

Then there is only one way to help the captain-general and exclude Higashino Hideichi from the captain system.

"I will control my strength, Higashino Hideichi, and try not to let you get hurt too badly!"

Komamura Sajin held his Zanpakutō horizontally in front of him, and looked directly at Higashino Hideichi across the smooth blade.

"Roar, God's punishment!"

In the air, a huge arm made of spirit particles appeared, and on the arm, there was a giant samurai sword that was also made of spirit particles and was very similar to the Zanpakutō in Komamura Sajin's hand.

"Kassa Slash!"

Komamura Sajin held the sword with both hands, stood in place and swung it, and the giant hand in the air followed Komamura Sajin's movements and sent an identical slash to Higashino Hideichi.

At the same time, Zaraki Kenpachi, who had just been knocked away by Higashino Hideichi, also rushed towards Higashino Hideichi while waving his Zanpakutō.

Unlike the previous battle, this time, Kenpachi Zaraki learned to be smart and coordinated with Komamura Sajin's attack.

The two of them moved forward, one on top of the other, and formed a pressure on Higashino Hideichi. Behind Higashino Hideichi, Kyoraku Shunsui landed there at the right time and swung out another Kidō Blade.

"This is more interesting."

Higashino Hideichi calmly put away his sword and held it down, and then just before these attacks were about to hit him,

Draw it out of the sheath and destroy the air.

Li·Fuslash!

Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō was hit, and the terrifying spirit collapsed. The Zanpakutō, which had been in a shallow state for so many years, was bound in the briefly torn space, and the cracks accumulated more and more until the blade shattered.

And Komamura Sajin's Shikai spirit body also shattered under the contact with Higashino Shuichi's slash.

As for the Kidō blade that attacked from behind, Higashino Shuichi only needed to move slightly to the side to easily avoid it.

Without using the Bindō to control Higashino Shuichi first, it was simply a fool's dream to hit him with a long-range attack alone.

".He held back that day."

Seeing this extremely exaggerated scene, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was silent. Fortunately, he had not yet asked Higashino Shuichi for new materials, so he could think about the next wording carefully.

The same idea existed in the minds of other captains.

Even Tosen Kaname, who had witnessed how Tono Shuichi grew from a player who was not as good as him to a former teammate who could fight against the four captains without losing when he defected to Soul Society, found that he could not understand Tono Shuichi's existence now.

Didn't they say that there was a shortage of spirit particles in the real world?

Wasn't it very troublesome to use the power of a Shinigami in the real world?

What's wrong? Is Tono Shuichi cheating in the real world?

After more than ten years, he is so powerful after coming back?

However, what Tosen Kaname could not have expected was that just as Komamura Sajin was preparing for his Bankai, Kyoraku Shunsui saw that Kenpachi Zaraki had to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield because he had lost his Zanpakutō, and decided to start a Shikai to set an example for the other Shinigami captains present, so that they could see with their own eyes what kind of existence Tono Shuichi was.

Tono Shuichi's subsequent battle stunned all the Shinigami captains present, including Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Aizen Sosuke.

"Are you finally going to get serious?

Then I'll be a little more serious~"

Hideichi Higashino smiled as he looked at Komamura Sajin, whose eyes were full of solemnity.

"Bankai: Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Myooh!"

"Flower winds are in disorder, flower gods are crying, sky winds are in disorder, the demons are sneering, flower heaven is crazy!"

The voices of Komamura Sajin and Kyoraku Shunsui sounded almost at the same time.

Kyoraku Shunsui wanted to take this opportunity to let the other captains of the Shinigami see the terrifying hell power on Higashino Hideichi, and also to give the old man a chance to witness it with his own eyes, so that he would know that Higashino Hideichi can now control the power of hell freely, not to mention the power of virtualization.

Otherwise, his one-sided words alone would never convince the stubborn old man.

However, he did not expect that Higashino Hideichi's way of handling this time would be more simple and crude, and shocking.

"The origin of military tactics, Bankai, borrow a knife to kill!"

Hideichi Higashino released his Zanpakutō without hesitation and used the new ability of smiling but hiding a knife in his Zanpakutō after he came back from the fictional future.

At the same time, far away in the Western Slight District, Kisaragi Hideusuke, who was responsible for the protection of Sayaka Kabuto and others and followed the latter to London under the Western Slight District, and cooperated with Urahara Kisuke and others, felt a call from the soul.

"Master Shuichi?!!"

Kisaragi Hideusuke, who had just bought ice cream and wanted to send it to Nagasawa Satomi, was ecstatic.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Master Shuichi called him, and that familiar voice was something he would never forget.

And Master Shuichi came to ask him because he wanted to borrow his power?

What a joke, Master Shuichi Hideusuke's power, Master Shuichi can use it whenever he wants, is there any need to ask?

Give it! Master Shuichi will give as much as he wants!

Unfortunately, this seems to be a one-way connection. No matter how Shuichi Kisaragi calls Shuichi's name in his mind, there is no response from the other side.

However, for Shuichi Kisaragi, who has always been in guilt and thought that Shuichi had died in that battle, this is no less than great news.

Then, in the First Squadron's quarters of Soul Society, under the gaze of all the captains present, Higashino Shuichi placed his Zanpakutō flat in front of him.

The sword is still the same Zanpakutō, but the soul has changed.

"Blunt!"

There is no tuning fork structure, but there are still invisible sound waves.

Komamura Sajin's Bankai failed

Kyoraku Shunsui's Shikai also failed.

Many captains found that they felt very uncomfortable from their Zanpakutō.

Their Zanpakutō seemed unable to be released.

"What did you do to my Zanpakutō?!"

Komamura Sajin looked at the Zanpakutō in his hand in disbelief, which could no longer respond to any of his orders, and raised his head to look at Higashino Hideichi in front of him and questioned.

"Now do you know why this new squad is called the Sword Hunters?"

Higashino Hideichi didn't look at Komamura Sajin, but instead stared at the old man at the back of the conference room, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"From the day I was defined as a traitor by Soul Society, I swore that such a thing would never happen to me again!

So, Captain-General, may I ask if I am qualified to be the new captain of the Sword Hunters?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni didn't say anything, and his clear eyes made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

All people knew was that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said those words at the end,

"From today on, Higashino Hideichi is the captain of the new squad, the Sword Hunters, and his job title is Great Sword Hunter Chief!"
