“You really are…”
Yoruichi Shihōin had seen her fair share of audacious individuals. After all, the Second Division's Hidden Mobile Unit was responsible for guarding the “Worm's Nest,” so she had encountered all sorts of dangerous characters.
But the person in front of her not only acted without a care but also possessed extraordinary abilities.
“Outlaw” was nothing. Just arrest them and lock them up until death.
But what about this kind of lawless, untouchable rogue?
Yoruichi Shihōin had no answer either, so she could only frown and say:
“Why did you leave the Xingjun symbol behind?
Because of this symbol, everyone now thinks that this has something to do with our Shihōin family.”
The death of Kūkaku Shiba was a loss, but the timing of it was terrible.
After all, the Shiba family had been making small moves against the Shihōin family these past days.
Then, someone from the Shiba family died, and the Xingjun symbol was left behind at the scene.
The Shihōin family and the Xingjun had a close relationship.
Yoruichi Shihōin really didn't want her family to be unjustly blamed.
“That's the point. Why else would I leave the Xingjun symbol? Am I just bored?” Shirayuki Uehara looked like he had a plan:
“If it had nothing to do with you, there wouldn't be any deterrent. And, it does have something to do with you.
You provided the Soul Weapon, I did the killing.”
Shirayuki Uehara was a classic case of “kill and leave the mess.”
He killed and did whatever he wanted, even if the nobles were fighting amongst themselves, it was none of his concern.
Shirayuki Uehara would be thrilled if they all died off so he could “split the inheritance.”
Besides, it was “Uzumaki Naruto” who did the killing. What did it have to do with him, Shirayuki Uehara?
“You…” Yoruichi Shihōin almost spat out blood.
It was true that she hadn't thought about killing, so in that sense, it had nothing to do with her.
But, it also needed someone to believe it.
After all, “Uzumaki Naruto” had no grudges against the Shiba family. Why would he kill them? It was all for the Shihōin family.
Even though she knew the truth wasn't like that, there was no way to explain it. It was just like a helpless betrayal.
Yoruichi Shihōin had a headache.
Every time she interacted with this “Uzumaki Naruto,” things would deviate from the original plan, and her thinking would slip.
But, she had no way around it.
Seeing Yoruichi Shihōin's troubled expression, Shirayuki Uehara “consoled” her:
“If I told you I just did it on impulse, and then let things develop naturally, and had no intention of targeting the Shihōin family, just for fun.
Would that make you feel better?”
“How could it? Damn it, stand still and let me punch you!” The “consolation” made things worse. Yoruichi Shihōin exploded.
She threw a punch, then froze.
It hit!
He didn't use that strange ability!
However, Yoruichi Shihōin didn't think much of it. She continued to use “Point Penetration,” “Shattering Point,” and other white-clad techniques.
Basically, she concentrated her spiritual pressure on a single point, piercing the spiritual pressure defense of a Shinigami.
As a result, after each hit, the other party would disappear and reappear, and then this guy would become even more troublesome.
Yoruichi Shihōin gradually became serious.
On the one hand, it was to vent her emotions, and on the other hand, it was to gather information. Yoruichi Shihōin got into a fight with the other party.
…
Half a day later, Shirayuki Uehara looked at Yoruichi Shihōin, who was refreshed and invigorated, and invited her:
“Why don’t you take a dip in the hot spring before you go? Come on, I don’t mind.”
“No thanks!” Yoruichi Shihōin waved her hand, her body flashed, and she disappeared immediately.
“Yoruichi Shihōin, as a tool person, you’re really excellent.” In the hot spring, Shirayuki Uehara looked at the white-clad panel of the vice-captain level, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This battle, besides allowing the white-clad of the senior-level officer to successfully upgrade, also learned very useful white-clad techniques, and also “increased” the relationship with Yoruichi.
A win-win situation!
Thinking of tomorrow, he could also use the name of supervising the “Hidden Mobile Unit” to “play” with the small-statured Retsu Unohana.
Shirayuki Uehara felt that life was really good, even this base seemed to become more spacious.
And all of this could be said to have been exchanged for the life of Kūkaku Shiba.
Arigato, Kūkaku Shiba!
…
The next morning, Shirayuki Uehara woke up and looked at his daily tasks as usual.
【Plant a tree (daily task)】
【Today is Arbor Day, please plant a tree seed, protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility.】
【Reward: random attribute points * 2】
Shirayuki Uehara didn’t fool around. He planted a loquat tree towards the direction of the Captain Commander’s office.
Hopefully, this tree will still be here during the Thousand Year Blood War!
After clapping the dirt off his hands, Shirayuki Uehara received a system prompt.
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the daily task – Plant a tree, you have received the rewards Shadow Clone + 1, Breathing of the Sun + 1!】
Not bad!
Shirayuki Uehara nodded in satisfaction.
The higher the proficiency and spiritual pressure, the more difficult it is to improve.
Although two attribute points per day are not much, they are real progress every time.
This slow but steady progress towards invincibility, with daily tangible growth, Shirayuki Uehara was very satisfied.
…
The Second Division barracks, Shirayuki Uehara met Retsu Unohana, who had a delicate face but was cold as ice.
For Retsu Unohana, the experience of these days was like hell.
First, she was abandoned by Yoruichi. She swore to surpass Yoruichi Shihōin, to make the other party regret it.
Then, just a few days after the Hidden Mobile Unit was in her hands, there was a series of blunders, and even her power was reduced.
This made her very embarrassed and very angry.
However, even more annoying was that the guy who came to supervise today was Shirayuki Uehara.
Retsu Unohana could hardly give him a good face.
“Captain Unohana, please grieve!” Shirayuki Uehara said softly.
“?” Retsu Unohana said coldly: “What do you mean?”
“There’s no one dead in your family, why are you looking so bad?” Shirayuki Uehara said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Retsu Unohana glared at Shirayuki Uehara, not knowing whether to turn her face directly or admire his courage.
She gritted her teeth and said:
“If I hadn’t been busy these past days, would you still be alive today?
If next time, you dare to attack the Xingjun again, you absolutely won’t be able to escape punishment.”
Until now, Retsu Unohana didn’t know why the Captain Commander valued this kid so much.
Isn’t he just younger, more talented, his Zanpakutō is better, he’s better-looking…
“Well, you’re right!” Shirayuki Uehara nodded:
“Then tell me about the current situation of the Xingjun. I’ll see how I can continue to escape punishment.”
“You…” Retsu Unohana clenched her silver teeth and clenched her fists, but soon loosened them, dutifully introducing the current situation of the Hidden Mobile Unit.
