Chapter 147 145 We All Have a Bright Future!

Chapter 147 145. We all have a bright future!

If the biggest advantage of the Sword Hunters is that they don't have to obey the command of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, but only need to obey the orders of the Tsunayashiro family, then their biggest disadvantage also comes from this.

As the Sword Hunters, who are actually directly under the command of the Tsunayashiro family and nominally responsible only to all the nobles, due to the existence of the Thirteenth Division of the Gotei and the fact that the Tsunayashiro family has a large number of retainer-like Shinigami, Higashino Hideichi, the chief sword hunter, has actually been in a state of doing nothing for a long time since taking office.

Because the Thirteenth Division of the Gotei is there for big things, and the people of the Tsunayashiro family obviously still have to trust the retainer Shinigami they have trained themselves for small things, even though those Shinigami are all trash whose strength is not up to par in Higashino Hideichi's view, and most of them don't even know the Shikai of Zanpakutō.

Tsunayashiro Kanhara has a very clear positioning for the current Sword Hunters, which is to deter Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni when necessary, so as to help them, the nobles, gain more initiative than before when discussing some issues of interest distribution with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Strategic nuclear deterrence, this is the image metaphor of Higashino Hideichi for his current identity.

In fact, he has the ability to seal the release of the Zanpakutō of other Shinigami, which is indeed a fatal threat to most Shinigami in Soul Society.

After all, not all Shinigami are called Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Unohana Yachiryu, Aizen Sosuke, or Zaraki Kenpachi.

Higashino Hideichi estimated that even if the current Kyoraku Shunsui was in front of him, he would probably not get any advantage.

However, the price of this identity is that the Sword Hunters have been established for almost half a month, and Higashino Hideichi has not been able to recruit a single member.

It's not that the Gotei 13 Division is unwilling to let him go, but Tsunayashiro Kanhara does not allow Higashino Hideichi to recruit people from the Maou Spiritual Academy, which was founded by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and is currently the only academy in Soul Society that trains Shinigami.

The reason is very simple. The Tsunayashiro family went through a lot of trouble to find such a perfect candidate as Higashino Hideichi to serve as the chief sword hunter of the Sword Hunters. If Higashino Hideichi still recruits people from the Maou Spiritual Academy, what's the difference between that and being the captain of the Gotei 13 Division?

In the future, if their Tsunayashiro family has any conflicts with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, they believe that Higashino Hideichi will never stand on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's side, and the latter will never accept Higashino Hideichi, but how can Higashino Hideichi ensure that the team members under him are also united?

Well, it makes sense!

Higashino Hideichi wanted to slap Tsunayashiro Kanhara on both sides of his face after hearing it.

It is understandable that he does not know what ideological education is.

However, there is only one academy in the entire Soul Society that trains Shinigami. To be frank, since the establishment of the Maou Academy, how many new Shinigami born in the Soul Society in the past few hundred years can say that they are not students of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni?

Even Higashino Hideichi himself is a legitimate graduate of the Maou Academy.

He cannot recruit students from the Maou Academy, and the Shinigami trained by their noble families are tightly hidden in their own pockets, not wanting to jump out, so where will his team members come from?

Is he really going to rely on him to conquer the world alone?

However, Tsunayashiro Kanhara said that he only had one word, "I don't care, you figure it out yourself!"

Okay, if you think it's one word, it's one word.

After discovering that no matter how he picked from the detailed list of current Soul Society Shinigami sent to him by Kyoraku Shunsui's Ise Nanao, the result could not satisfy Tsunayashiro Kanhara, Higashino Hideichi was rarely depressed.

To be honest, among all the bosses that Higashino Hideichi had worked for, Tsunayashiro Kanhara was definitely the most difficult to serve.

Not only was he picky, he also had a lot of bad habits.

Therefore, after finding that he could not add some legal manpower to himself through formal means, Higashino Hideichi left the Sword Hunters' residence that Tsunayashiro Kanhara had prepared for him, which had a fairly good area.

"Master Hideichi! I heard from them before that you not only came back, but also became the captain of the new squad. Is this true?!"

Just after entering the 12th Squadron's barracks and hearing the report from his team members, Yushi Ou Xu, who is now the vice-captain of the 12th Squad, rushed to the gate to greet Higashino Hideichi in person.

"Well, I just picked up a captain for fun, but in order to distinguish myself from the Gotei 13th Squad, we usually don't call me captain, but call me the Great Sword Hunter Chief."

Higashino Hideichi looked at Yushi Ou Xu with great satisfaction and said.

According to his perception, the latter's condensed spiritual power was obviously much better than when they first met ten years ago.

This shows that after Higashino Hideichi left Soul Society, Yushi Oushu did follow the twenty-year training plan he left for him and improved his strength in an orderly manner.

If nothing unexpected happens, according to Higashino Hideichi's observation and analysis of Yushi Oushu at that time, after ten years of hard work, and some black technology assistance that Higashino Hideichi asked Mayuri Niku to tailor for Yushi Oushu, Yushi Oushu should have at least the spiritual pressure of the captain level even if he has not mastered the Bankai of Zanpakutō.

"Got it, Master Shuichi! Oh, by the way, Master Shuichi, you came back at the right time this time. Thanks to the fullbringers you asked Miss Sayako to send over ten years ago, our experimental plan for the transformation of souls that you proposed to name has progressed quite quickly, and now we are just preparing for the first phase of testing!"

Yushi Oushu said to Higashino Hideichi excitedly.

After all, this is the first major task that Higashino Hideichi entrusted to him after he left, and Yushi Oushu attaches great importance to this experimental plan.

Due to the lack of information flow within the Soul Society, Yushi Ou Xu didn't know what happened to Higashino Hideichi ten years ago. He just paranoidly believed that it was because he didn't meet Higashino Hideichi's expectations that Higashino Hideichi had never come back to see him.

Coincidentally, their soul transformation plan had just made a breakthrough and was about to start the first phase of testing, and Higashino Hideichi came back.

This made Yushi Ou Xu more certain of his guess.

Sure enough, only by making certain achievements can you be noticed by Master Hideichi!

Yushi Ou Xu, you must work hard!

The past ten years were just a test of you by Master Hideichi. Only if you show more value of yourself, will Hideichi value you more and you can get more training from Master Hideichi!

Soon, under the leadership of Yushi Ou Xu, Higashino Hideichi came all the way to the underground laboratory that was re-modified by Mayuri Kurotsuchi without any obstacles.

However, when passing through a certain level in the middle, a very bad memory flooded into Higashino Hideichi's brain after seeing a spirit with the appearance of Ichimaru Gin inside.

So much so that Higashino Hideichi, who was supposed to ask Kurotsuchi Mayuri about the transformation of the soul, asked Kurotsuchi Mayuri the first sentence after seeing him: "Nei, the spirit with the appearance of Ichimaru Gin, the captain of the third division, that I just saw on the ninth floor underground, was it your work?"

"That one? I guess so, what's wrong, are you interested in that?"

Kutsuchi Mayuri did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and simply answered the question.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was not surprised at all that Higashino Hideichi came to him, and he even felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Higashino Hideichi to come to him after such a long time after returning to Soul Society and taking on the high-profile position of the Great Sword Hunter.

If it weren't for the fact that Higashino Hideichi's current relationship with the Gotei 13th Division is incompatible with each other, not only is he backed by the Tsunayashiro family, the head of the five great nobles, but his strength can basically be said to be the most powerful in the entire Soul Society.

At least in the eyes of Kurotsuchi Mayuri, just the method of sealing the release of other Shinigami Zanpakutō, Higashino Hideichi is enough to overthrow most of the Soul Society by himself.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri had long wanted to find Higashino Hideichi.

The reason is that Higashino Hideichi's battle in the real Osaka Prefecture ten years ago, although it was fruitful, and he brought more than a dozen Fullbringers to Kurotsuchi Mayuri in one battle, but the consequences were also serious. After that battle, almost all the Fullbringers in the area controlled by the East Branch Bureau fled, and they all ran to the area controlled by the West Branch Bureau next door.

This led to Kurotsuchi Mayuri's failure to catch a Fullbringer himself later.

Due to his identity and clear understanding of his own strength, Kurotsuchi Mayuri knew that if he wanted to leave the East Slope Bureau area and go to the West Slope Bureau to arrest people, his end would definitely not be very good, so he could only turn to Higashino Hideichi, who was extremely powerful and had no concerns about his identity.

Otherwise, without the addition of new Fullbringers, if Kurotsuchi Mayuri wanted to continue to advance the research on soul transformation, he could only start human experiments in advance, but this was absolutely not allowed by the Soul Society.

It’s not that it’s not allowed to experiment on humans, the moral sense of the Soul Society is not high enough, but it’s hard to find opponents.

After all, the ultimate goal of soul transformation is to create a true Shinigami-like human, so the combat power index must be an important criterion for consideration.

Otherwise, simply creating waste that can’t fight or grow is of no value and meaning.

“Then did you also create the young version of the captain-general and the young version of me who appeared in the world ten years ago?”

As soon as Higashino Hideichi asked, he regretted it because he seemed a little impulsive.

As long as he thought of the huge war potential behind the younger version of himself, Higashino Hideichi could not sit still.

But in fact, it was impossible for Kurotsuchi Mayuri to do it. Otherwise, if Kurotsuchi Mayuri could have created a younger version of Yamamoto and a younger version of himself of that level, why would he spend so much time researching the transformation of souls?

But Higashino Hideichi did not ask in vain. As the chief scientist after Urahara Kisuke left Soul Society, Kurotsuchi Mayuri still knew some inside information.

"No, it was created by a death god named Masato Miyazaki Sakai at the West Station. The ones I set up on the ninth floor underground were just imitations of his works, but because the effect was very poor, I gave up later."

"Masato Miyazaki Sakai? Why is there a death god at the West Station? And what does the effect of poor effect mean?"

Hideichi Higashino threw out a series of questions at once.

However, Mayuri Kurotsuchi seemed to know that Higashino Hideichi would ask this question, and he answered each question with almost no thought.

"Masato Miyazaki was the captain of the 12th Division before Hikifune Kiryu. He was only because he conducted illegal research on the souls of the gods of death, so he deliberately set up an ambush and slaughtered the entire investigation team of the 13th Division of the Gotei overnight. After the incident was exposed, he was forced to flee to the Western Division.

Speaking of which, Hikifune Kiryu's research more or less borrowed some of the research results left by Masato Miyazaki at the time.

As for the poor effect, that is the literal meaning. The imitation gods of death made by Masato Miyazaki do not have to worry about the exhaustion of spiritual power. , so it can maintain long-term high-intensity combat when those imitation Shinigami themselves do not have self-awareness and independent souls, and thus cannot absorb the spirit particles in the air to replenish consumption.

But the Shinigami that I completely imitated one-to-one cannot do this. Their longest battle can only last less than three seconds, and this is still the case when they do not open Bankai. If they try to open Bankai, they cannot even last for one second. "

"Former captain of the 12th Division?"

If this is the identity, then Higashino Hideichi will have no problem. As we all know, the 12th and 11th Divisions of the Gotei 13 have the most ruthless people.

Other divisions may only produce one every few hundred years, and these two divisions are just like wholesale.

The 11th Division is a combat division, but the 12th Division is a scientific research division, which is so outrageous. Higashino Hideichi can accept rationally, but cannot understand emotionally.

As for the situation mentioned by Kurotsuchi Mayuri later, Higashino Hideichi does not believe that it is a problem of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's strength.

Higashino Hideichi knew what level Kurotsuchi Mayuri was at. In the original plot of the thousand-year blood war, he was the undisputed MVP and the best player of the game.

Even Kurotsuchi Mayuri couldn't figure it out, which meant that the problem was definitely not from the technology itself, but from the people who made it.

Could it be that Masato Miyazaki Sakai also had parts of the Soul King's body?

Suddenly, a strange thought came to Higashino Hideichi's mind.

Only in this way could the strangeness of the young Yamamoto and the young himself be explained.

Apart from the existence of the Soul King's body, which did not follow your logic, Higashino Hideichi really couldn't think of how a god of death could do this under normal circumstances.

However, Higashino Hideichi found that he had no relationship with Masato Miyazaki Sakai for the time being. One was in the West Branch and the other was in the East Branch. What could the two have to do with each other?

As long as it was confirmed that the thing was not made by Kurotsuchi Mayuri, it would be fine.

As for Miyazaki Sakai Masato, he is a potential threat. After things are on track, he will think of a way to trick Aizen over to help him.

Otherwise, if Miyazaki Sakai Masato takes out some kind of first-generation Gotei 13th Division with unlimited battery life from his crotch to teach him a lesson, Higashino Hideichi thinks that no one can handle it.

Even if he can block the release of his Zanpakutō, he may not be a match for those first-generation fierce men.

Therefore, Higashino Hideichi and Kurotsuchi Mayuri soon had a normal exchange, and the topic of the exchange was

[How to reasonably advance the soul transformation plan when there is no way to obtain a Fullbringer for the time being. 】

Yushi Osu, who was standing aside and listening to the conversation between Higashino Hideichi and Kurotsuchi Mayuri with relish, found something wrong as he listened.

No, why do the two captains of the Gotei 13 system say such outrageous words like "attack the Shinigami" so easily?

Do you two captains really have no psychological burden when doing this?

Yushi Ou suddenly felt that bullying those Shinigami who used to laugh at him was a bit childish in front of these two nominal teachers in front of him.

Listen!

"Generally speaking, in the real world, the number of Shinigami stationed in a monitoring point will not exceed two, usually one, and within an hour, the Shinigami in at least three nearby monitoring points can be notified for support, among which there must be a chief officer. Only when they find that they cannot handle it, will they notify the Shinigami of the vice-captain level to rush over to deal with it.

The vice-captain of the 13th Division is Shiba Kaiyan. His instant step ability is average. If the location chosen is relatively remote, it will take at least an hour for him to rush over.

Therefore, if you want to attack them, it is best to control the time within two hours, and then consider sending batches according to the specific combat situation."

This is the result obtained by Kurotsuchi Mayuri after careful analysis.

"I can transform into a Hollow. You can help me open a portal to Hueco Mundo. I can go to Hueco Mundo to pick a few Hollows of suitable strength, and then I can use the Black Chamber to enter the real world and throw them over. In this way, I can also have data on fighting Hollows."

This is the confident voice of Higashino Hideichi.

On this day, Yushi Ou Xu's worldview almost collapsed.

But when Higashino Hideichi found that his state seemed to be wrong, and then pulled him into the discussion group, Yushi Ou Xu suddenly found that he seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

We all have a bright future!

Yushi Ou Xu praised in his heart.
