Soul Society, Seireitei, First Division Barracks!
Listening to the sounds of the squad members training with vigor, Uehara Shirayuki stretched, slowly getting out of bed.
After putting on his Shinigami uniform at a leisurely pace, he habitually opened his mission panel to take a look.
As expected, today's mission had been refreshed.
【Visit an Old Friend (Daily Mission)】
【The wind today is quite boisterous, a good day for drinking. You decide to invite a friend for a drink and a chat.】
【Reward: Random Attribute +2】
A simple panel, a simple mission, a decent reward.
It could only be said that it was befitting of his system, just as laid-back and carefree as he was.
In his previous life, Uehara Shirayuki was just an ordinary worker.
Over twenty years ago, he inexplicably transmigrated to the world of Bleach, becoming a Soul Society youth.
Uehara Shirayuki was no stranger to Bleach, the manga.
In Soul Society, a vast number of spirit beings lived.
Those without Reiatsu are just stray souls, liable to vanish at any moment.
Those with Reiatsu can become Shinigami.
Shinigami with powerful Reiatsu can even live for thousands of years, becoming the ruling class of Seireitei.
However, Uehara Shirayuki knew that even mastering Bankai and becoming a Shinigami Captain wouldn't guarantee safety.
After all, in the original story, Soul Society was also full of disaster, with Aizen wreaking havoc, followed by the Soul King and "Pirate King" Yhwach.
Shinigami died by the dozen, even the strongest Captain, Yamamoto, perished. If it weren't for Ichigo Kurosaki's power-up and a burst of brute force, Soul Society would have been wiped out.
So in this dangerous world, self-preservation was essential.
Fortunately, Uehara Shirayuki, after his transmigration, had a natural talent for Reiatsu, able to become a Shinigami, and a decent one at that.
More importantly... as a transmigrator, Uehara Shirayuki had a cheat.
After transmigrating, he activated a system with a simple panel and no AI, a mission system.
This system was extremely straightforward, and so were the missions.
The system only provided two types of missions.
One was a daily mission, like 【Visit an Old Friend】.
This daily mission could be completed once a day.
It offered random rewards such as Reiatsu, ability proficiency, and more.
The other was a special mission, triggered randomly.
Special missions had more substantial rewards, awarding abilities and equipment from various anime, manga, and film worlds.
For instance, when Uehara Shirayuki first transmigrated to Rukongai, he triggered a special mission, 【Tour Rukongai】.
After effortlessly completing the first special mission, he obtained the BUG skill Shadow Clone Jutsu from the world of Naruto.
With his system, Uehara Shirayuki felt confident enough to join the Shin'o Academy and become a prospective Shinigami.
Then, he leisurely began completing his daily missions, occasionally using his Shadow Clones for class.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed, and Uehara Shirayuki's strength and status had changed dramatically.
On the surface, Uehara Shirayuki's talent and strength were somewhat inferior to those of geniuses like Gin Ichimaru, Kyoraku Shunsui, and Kuchiki Byakuya.
But in reality, his public strength was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Thinking about this, Uehara Shirayuki opened his character panel.

After joining the Shin'o Academy, Uehara Shirayuki completed a special mission, obtaining the S-Rank ability Stand, White Album.
White Album is a non-physical stand, the stand of Cioccolata, a member of the assassination team in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.
Its ability is to create ultra-low temperatures, freezing air into an external armor, even reaching absolute zero to freeze all things.
Three years after obtaining Hakuda, Uehara Shirayuki successfully achieved Shikai, awakening his Zanpakuto, Dan Kong.
Dan Kong's Shikai ability is similar to the "Tsubasa" visual prowess of "Tsuchinoko," and is a complete, combined version of both eyes.
Due to the excessive number of old schemers in Soul Society, Uehara Shirayuki publicly claimed his Zanpakuto was called White Season and its ability was ultra-low temperature, able to freeze surrounding things.
Because he achieved Shikai while still in the Shin'o Academy, Uehara Shirayuki earned the title of genius, and successfully joined the First Division as a top graduate.
As the direct division of the Captain-Commander, the First Division had the highest status and best treatment, but also the fiercest competition.
Several First Division Seat Officers, wanting to showcase their prowess, specifically challenged Uehara Shirayuki, the genius.
Uehara Shirayuki, intending to just lie low, casually engaged them, but before even exerting any effort, they all fell.
Then, he inexplicably became the First Division's Seventh Seat, essentially a low-level leader within the Gotei 13.
After all, a division had hundreds of Shinigami, and being a Seat Officer, especially the Seventh Seat of the First Division, absolutely meant you were a top-tier talent.
However, Uehara Shirayuki didn't have any aspirations for further advancement.
The "996 blessings" of his previous life had been enough.
This life, Uehara Shirayuki simply wanted to quietly complete his missions and live a peaceful life.
Overtime was out of the question, absolutely impossible for this lifetime!
He would rather spend that time drinking with Kyoraku Shunsui, the LSP, and completing his daily missions.
Uehara Shirayuki sauntered out of the barracks.
His relaxed and carefree demeanor starkly contrasted with the diligent Seat Officers next to him.
Seeing Uehara Shirayuki, several Seat Officers were filled with helplessness.
Uehara Shirayuki had proven his genius with his strength.
Genius Shinigami always had privileges.
Ordinary squad members looked at the young Seventh Seat with admiration, awe, and envy.
He was less than forty years old and already a Seat Officer of the First Division, and rumors said he was close to bigwigs like the Eighth Division Captain.
He was from Rukongai but stronger than those noble Shinigami, truly inspiring.
In reality, within Dan Kong's exclusive "Kamui Space," four Shadow Clones relentlessly trained in Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kidou, and Shunpo.
As a transmigrator, Uehara Shirayuki naturally knew how BUG Shadow Clone Jutsu was.
Don't underestimate Shadow Clone Jutsu as a mere B-Rank ability, its auxiliary effects were no less than those of an S-Rank ability.
This was Naruto Uzumaki's "exclusive cheat," a divine technique for practice and learning.
After the Shadow Clones were dispelled, the main body would inherit their experiences and memories.
Therefore, it could be used to practice the four fundamental skills of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kidou, and Shunpo.
Proficiency-level Shadow Clone Jutsu could create one Shadow Clone, Mastery-level two, Completion-level four...
This was equivalent to having four additional clone accounts that could train endlessly.
Just by relying on this one god-tier technique, Uehara Shirayuki was confident he could master Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kidou, and Shunpo.
A Shinigami's Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kidou, and Shunpo required prolonged practice to master, ordinary Shinigami would need hundreds, even thousands, of years to achieve anything.
Uehara Shirayuki's accomplishment of traversing a lifetime's path in just twenty years was solely through his own efforts.
Shadow Clones, AFK!
