Orihime Goes Wherever She Pleases, Yachiru the Evil Spirit of Hell (Continued)
His expression was very serious; it didn't look like he was joking at all.
This made the Little Mustache's eyelids twitch. He drew his Zanpakuto and roared, "You must be the intruder! Come on, let's go back to the 11th Division!"
With a whoosh, his two companions behind him also drew their Zanpakuto, the tips pointing at Orihime Inoue.
The Little Mustache took a step forward, his expression somewhat excited, his eyes fixed on Orihime Inoue, his mind already fantasizing about taking this intruder back for proper interrogation.
Just then, a companion behind him said, "When your master said 'walk sideways,' he probably meant you could do whatever you wanted, not actually walking sideways across the street, right?"
The Grim Soul Reaper thought the little girl might have misunderstood.
Even if they are intruders, they should first explain what they mean by "walking sideways".
Upon hearing this, Orihime Inoue's mouth dropped open in sudden realization. "I see, that's what Master meant!"
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand, index finger extended, and shouted with a smile, "Charge!"
Suddenly, her index finger exploded open, unleashing a massive shockwave that swept towards the three Soul Reaper, instantly lifting them into the sky and sending them flying so far that they were no longer visible.
Orihime Inoue then turned her head again and said to a shadowy figure at the street corner, "Are you going to arrest me too?"
The shadow suddenly lengthened, and a figure emerged from it—it was Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the Twelfth Division.
He stretched out his hand and said, "You must be that guy Tokoyo Misao's apprentice?"
"Since you know my master, could you tell me where the Tenth Division is?" Orihime Inoue replied with a smile.
She sized up the man in front of her with the strange expression.
The other person was also wearing the same white haori as their master, so they were probably also a captain.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned, revealing a mouthful of large gold teeth, and said in a sinister tone:
"Tokoyo Misao definitely knows how to find the Quincy, but he just won't say it out loud."
If we take your disciple back, he'll probably give us the answer directly.
Over the years, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has put in tremendous effort to find the Quincy, and hasn't had a good night's sleep, relying entirely on sedatives to stay awake.
However, the Soul Society recently had Kisuke Urahara participate in the investigation of the Quincy's location, which he found extremely humiliating.
No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find a way to enter the Wandenreich.
Therefore, he thought of Tokoyo Misao.
This guy clearly has a very special ability. In his calculations, there is at least a 60% chance that the other party can directly enter the Wandenreich.
But if we attack him directly, we might not be able to win, and we don't know what his weaknesses are.
This human disciple might be the weakness of Tokoyo Misao.
As he spoke, a purple mist began to rise from the street, enveloping Orihime Inoue.
"Haha, this is a biological toxin I developed. But don't worry, it's just a common paralysis, it won't kill you. Come back with me obediently."
When Mayuri Kurotsuchi was discovered, he had already used his Zanpakuto, Ashisogi Jizo.
He kept the blade hidden behind his back, constantly controlling the release of biological toxins, and then used conversation to delay Orihime Inoue, diverting her attention, which allowed him to complete the encirclement and deliver a fatal blow.
"What kind of paralysis are you talking about?" Orihime Inoue's voice came from within the purple mist.
A shout of "Charge!" rang out, and a burst of wind dispersed the smoke, revealing Orihime Inoue unharmed. She stared wide-eyed with curiosity.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi frowned, engaging all his senses.
He had been in a state of concealment and stalling for time, so he did not unleash his perception recklessly.
The fact that the poison he had prepared in advance had no effect surprised him greatly.
When the senses swept over Orihime Inoue's body, they were blocked by a force outside her skin.
He stared in shock, his eyes widening. "You actually turned Reishi into a thin film and stuck it to your body?"
Orihime Inoue nodded in response. "My master said that when you arrive at an unfamiliar place, you should first use Reishi to form a protective shield, and you should not remove it unless you arrive at an absolutely safe place."
Therefore, I had already put on the Reishi Cloth before I came to Soul Society.
"Damn you, Tokoyo Misao!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi gritted his teeth.
He never expected that this seemingly innocent little girl would be so difficult to deal with, given the Tokoyo Misao.
At that moment, Orihime Inoue extended her index finger at Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Golden patterns on her fingertips shone brightly. "Raikōhō."
The moment she uttered the word "thunder," a massive bolt of lightning erupted from her fingertips.
It blasted towards Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was completely caught off guard, and completely engulfed him.
The Lightning flashed across the street and quickly disappeared, revealing Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who had been struck.
Her haori was tattered, black smoke was billowing from her body, and she was breathing very rapidly.
He raised his head, staring fiercely at Orihime Inoue, and said with some anger:
"You clearly used the method of Incantation Abandonment, so why does it have the power of complete incantation?"
Orihime Inoue kindly raised her index finger, revealing the pad of her finger, where the golden patterns were still shimmering.
She explained with a smile, "My master said that there are many ways to apply the Kidō, Incantation Abandonment is just one of them."
While Incantation Abandonment is convenient and quick, its power will indeed be reduced.
As long as the chanting patterns are engraved in advance, the power can still be maximized even when Incantation Abandonment.
Master said this is called Kidō Engraving.
The incantation pattern for the Hadō #63: Raikōhō Technique, Raikōhō, is etched on my index finger.
"What! There's actually a way to use Kidō like this?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi's pupils trembled.
He thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.
Since Reishi arrays can be set up as protective measures in various places, why can't the Kidō also be condensed into an array and imprinted on the body?
This allows one to utilize the full power of chanting in a rapid manner, Incantation Abandonment.
That's a terrible idea.
Surprisingly, Tokoyo Misao actually succeeded in developing it.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi suffered a great loss as soon as they met and started fighting. As a veteran captain, he lost face and now he had to capture Tokoyo Misao's apprentice.
He raised his Zanpakuto and roared, "Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!"
A giant golden caterpillar appeared in the middle of the street, instantly crushing the walls on both sides to dust.
This caterpillar-like creature had a head like an infant's, with only the whites of its eyes and no pupils, and two chubby little golden hands.
If you only look at the front, the baby is quite cute and chubby, but when you combine it with the caterpillar-like shape of the back half, it becomes rather disgusting.
Even though Orihime Inoue's own aesthetic sense doesn't conform to the general public, she still felt physically uncomfortable when she looked at this caterpillar.
Especially noteworthy is that the other person exhaled purple mist.
She retracted her index finger and extended her middle finger, the Kidō Engraving on the fingertip instantly illuminating with golden light. "Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō."
Similarly, just as she uttered the words "Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief," a huge beam of azure lightning shot out from her middle finger.
While both belong to the Lightning attribute transformation of the Kidō, the Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō has a diameter three times larger than the Raikōhō, and its speed and power are also greatly improved.
The Lightning enveloped the Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo, and within moments, a burnt smell filled the air.
The bolt of lightning lasted for about five seconds before disappearing.
Wherever the cannon passed, everything was charred black.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Zanpakuto, Bankai Caterpillar, was reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi himself was disheveled, his face was pale, and he kept spitting out purple blood. One of his arms had turned to ashes.
He truly hadn't expected that Tokoyo Misao's disciple would be so powerful.
The Kidō he used all reached the Captain-level, even higher than ordinary Captains. He's a truly terrifying guy.
He spoke haltingly, "It seems there's no way to take you back today." As he spoke, his body began to melt like liquid.
At that moment, Orihime Inoue retracted her middle finger into her palm, extended her ring finger, and shouted, "Black Coffin!"
Black Reishi rose from around Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
"How is this possible? Even the Black Coffin can do that?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi was truly on the verge of losing his composure. His pupils trembled as he roared loudly.
Raikōhō is one thing, after all, it's only the Hadō #63: Raikōhō.
Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō is also a lightning attribute transformation Kidō. Even though Orihime Inoue used it, Mayuri Kurotsuchi only thought that she had outstanding talent in lightning attribute Kidō.
But now, why is she able to use the Kidō of Spatial Manipulation, the Hadō #90: Black Coffin, so quickly?
Only now did he finally recall what Tokoyo Misao had said at the captain's meeting, "My apprentice is capable of becoming the Captain-Commander."
As the images disappeared from Mayuri Kurotsuchi's mind, the Black Coffin completely enveloped them.
Those trapped inside will be subjected to spatial strangulation.
The Black Coffin can be considered the most destructive single- Kidō.
With a cracking sound, the Black Coffin broke apart and disappeared.
All that remained on the ground was a jumble of body parts, suggesting that Mayuri Kurotsuchi had been strangled by spatial forces and was beyond dead.
Orihime Inoue frowned, pointed at the puddle, and raised her right little finger. The golden patterns on her fingertip emitted a dazzling light, and she shouted, "Senju Kōten Taihō!"
Several pink Reishi cannons formed in front of her, bombarding the messy pile on the ground.
Boom! Explosions rang out continuously, and the ground sank inch by inch.
Even Seireitei, known for its high concentration of Reishi, was blasted into a crater a hundred meters deep.
Only after the smoke and dust had completely dissipated did Orihime Inoue walk to the edge of the pit and look down.
That pile of messy parts was completely destroyed in the attack, leaving not even a trace.
But Orihime Inoue still frowned.
At this moment, the words of her master Tokoyo Misao, kept echoing in her mind. "When fighting others, you must make use of your advantages. Your Reishi energy is very large. You just need to keep using the Kidō to blast the enemy into dust."
But some enemies, even when reduced to ashes, still do not die.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, the slag should be scattered into ash, and then the ash should be dispersed into the air and annihilated.
This was Orihime Inoue's first formal encounter with Captain-level enemy, and judging from the fact that the opponent used poison gas as soon as they appeared, they were definitely a very troublesome enemy.
So, just to be safe, she raised her hand again, but this time she didn't use the pre-engraved Kidō.
She sang softly. "You ruler, mask of flesh and blood, all things, take flight, things bearing the name of mankind, the Heat and cinnabar, the surging waves of the sea advance southward."
Hadō #31, Shakkahō!
"Shakkahō! Shakkahō!..."
She fired nine fully chanted Shakkahō at the bottom of the pit before stopping, satisfied. She turned and walked towards the street to continue searching for the location of the Tenth Division.
Not long ago, the Reishi released by Mayuri Kurotsuchi Bankai the fluctuations generated by Orihime Inoue's high-level Hadō already been detected by the various captains.
Eighth Division Captain Shunsui Kyōraku pulled out his Denreishinki and dialed. "Hello, Captain Soi Fon, what's the situation with Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi?"
"That good-for-nothing took the initiative to attack but was defeated. His opponent was Orihime Inoue, a disciple of Tokoyo Misao." Soi Fon clicked her tongue in disdain.
"Why would Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi Orihime Inoue?" Shunsui Kyōraku frowned.
It's important to know that Orihime Inoue has obtained an official Substitute Soul Reaper Badge, and her name is recorded in the roster of the Tenth Division. She is a legitimate and official Soul Reaper member.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's sudden attack on her broke the rules in itself.
If Tokoyo Misao returns from the Valley of Screams Space and finds her disciple being bullied, the Twelfth Division will probably be reduced to ruins.
"Don't worry, Captain Kyōraku, I've dispatched a small team to follow Orihime Inoue. From the current reports, it seems she's aiming for the Tenth Division."
"That's great. Captain Soi Fon, please have your men guide her secretly. We can't afford any more accidents." Shunsui Kyōraku sighed and turned off the Denreishinki.
She looked up in the direction of the First Division, her brows furrowing tightly, because the golden Lightning was being suppressed.
In the First Division, Yachiru Kusajishi was stopped.
She was extremely agitated. At this moment, she could sense Kenpachi Zaraki's resentment, dissatisfaction, and disappointment with his own lack of strength.
This feeling caused endless killing intent to erupt from Yachiru.
