If there's one team that has the easiest time among the Gotei 13, it's undoubtedly the Sixth Division.
The Sixth Division is only responsible for a portion of the patrols, and they rarely go on missions in the World of the Living, because nobles despise the World of the Living; it's unclear when this rule originated.
In the original work, if Rukia hadn't appeared in the World of the Living, Byakuya and Renji definitely wouldn't have gone out to deal with this. In fact, it was Renji who insisted on going, and it's quite embarrassing that a Vice-Captain couldn't handle it.
Moreover, the Sixth Division has more members, after all, it is one of the combat teams, and its numbers are the largest.
Look, the patrol area is small, and World of the Living no missions, so it's just training missions. And how many people are there each time? So this team is really incredibly idle.
So, the newly joined couple Kōga Aozumi, didn't stay with the team at all, and instead went to Jun's Tenth Division every day.
They came every day, Tenth Division couldn't very well refuse, but the Tenth Division coming also annoyed them. "Which team are you guys from anyway?" they wondered. After a while, even the members of the Tenth Division began to complain.
Isshin immediately called Jun over, asking if he could help. Jun replied that it was a bit difficult, as those were members of the Kuchiki Clan, and he wasn't sure he could control them.
"What do your two disciples want with you?"
"Cultivation, huh?"
What kind of spiritual practice?
"The Zanpakuto, Aozumi hasn't even mastered its Shikai yet. He absolutely must train it."
Isshin's face twitched twice. "She's just a daughter of the Kuchiki Clan, why would she choose you to unleash her Zanpakuto? Doesn't her father care?"
"How would I know?" Jun was also completely bewildered. Actually, Jun did know; Aozumi's idea wasn't about their Kuchiki Clan's Zanpakuto at all, but rather what Jun had just told her.
How long will it take to complete?
How would I know?
"Then go back and rest. I'll give you long periods of independent missions, but you'll have to come back to the team every few days to report in."
Every now and then?
"Moon"
"Clear"
That's how they were completely liberated. Then, Jūshirō Ukitake was very easy to talk to, and he released Isuzu as well.
Along with Aozumi and Kōga, the four of them were up to something every day in the basement of the Shimizu residence.
There were three other people who stabbed people.
Muramasa, Clear Rain, Thunder Charge
"Wow~ Haha! Miss Thunder Charge is so cool~! She's always so cool no matter how many times I see her!" Aozumi loves Thunder Charge the most. Every time Thunder Charge appears, she wants to hug, kiss, and lift her up high, except she's the one who gets lifted up high.
"Cool" is a new word I learned from "pure," so it can't be explained in English. "Pure" is part of the word "cruel," while "cool" itself means extreme or special. When used as an adjective to describe a person, it means that the person is very special and unconventional.
After making this explanation, Chun suddenly realized that although many modern words are transliterations from foreign languages, many of the translations by past masters were not merely phonetic translations in Chinese, but also perfectly interpreted the meanings of those transliterated words. I'm in awe of those past translation masters!
"Master! I understand what you're saying, but it's really difficult. Is it because my imagination isn't enough?"
"This is also related to that," Jun said, taking out a piece of paper and writing on it. "If you really want to create something fake, it should be Free Shikai, so the first thing you need is sufficient settings, right?"
"Set up?"
"Okay, the setup! What do you want this sword for? What abilities?" Chun continued writing as she spoke, "After that, you need to decide whether your sword is a man or a woman, and whether its appearance and nature match the abilities you want."
"Take Clear Rain for example. Her ability is elimination, so her personality needs to be aloof and ethereal, with a touch of otherworldly detachment. She needs to assess everything before choosing a target to eliminate. This is a kind of transcendent perspective."
"Thank you for the praise, Lord."
"And what about Thunder Charge? She's like the explosion of lightning, but not quite like that, because I created her to protect Lingling. So, within that explosion, there needs to be a kind of stability. What is that? Violence and reliability."
"How do you achieve this? She needs to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside, cool! Stylish! She needs to possess an unparalleled attraction from the inside out! That's what 'explosive' means!"
"And then? Short hair, leather jacket, why a tight-fitting one? Why short hair? Because it's for competence! It won't be a hindrance just because she's a woman with long, flowing hair. Of course, I'm not looking down on women with long hair, but what are you going to do? What does Thunder Charge need to do? She's actually a Hakuda type of Shikai, so is it really appropriate for her to have long, messy hair?"
"Do you understand?"
Thunder Charge took off his sunglasses and snapped his fingers. "Listening to my own characteristics here makes me feel a little shy~"
Not only Aozumi, Kōga and Isuzu also listened with great interest. Then Aozumi looked around and fixed his gaze on Muramasa, "Hey~ Master, where's Muramasa?"
"Me? I'm the Lord's..."
Kōga a little bewildered, "Uh, this..."
"Kōga"
"Hi!"
What were you thinking when you appeared in Muramasa?
"Uh," Kōga fell into thought. Faced with Chun's question, he dared not lie, so he answered, "I want someone to save me."
Kōga Muramasa stared at each other. Kōga suddenly felt a little afraid to look at Muramasa, because according to Jun, Muramasa might be the Free Shikai.
"Did someone rescue you?"
"Oh, right!"
"So here's the key point: is it someone else, or are you being rescued? Choose one."
"Huh?" Kōga hadn't expected that the four words "someone saved you," two phrases, could be separated. But after thinking about it carefully, Kōga suddenly fell silent. After a long while Kōga looked at Muramasa and said, "Someone did save you."
Jun laughed. "That's right. What you hoped for in your heart was to be saved, which was indeed what you hoped for at the time. But what you really wanted deep down was someone. That's why Muramasa could materialize his Zanpakuto. It was something you craved deep down. You wanted someone to be with you, many, many people."
"I"
"My lord! Muramasa will always be by your side, forever and ever, without end!"
Thank you, Muramasa!
Kōga was deeply moved. This was also a vow, and a vow that Muramasa would never break, a vow that even Plane shifts could not sever! In the original story, Kōga was misled by those people and abandoned his sword, but Muramasa kept trying to rescue Kōga until Kōga, because he died.
"Waaah~", Aozumi was moved to tears as she watched the vow made between the man and the sword master and servant. She ran over and hugged her husband and his sword, crying out, "I want to be with you forever too!!"
"Hi! Of course, Madam."
"Yes, I will always be with you, Aozumi."
"Mmm~, I'll always be with you Kōga."
The young couple were probably in the honeymoon phase, whispering sweet nothings for a while before realizing that people were watching. Kōga was too embarrassed to be seen, and Aozumi's face turned red.
"Master, after all this talk, since you've managed to do this much, what is your real sword like?"
"My real knife, to be honest, I've never actually shown it before."
"My Lord, I..."
"No need," Chun stopped Clear Rain from turning back into a sword. "This sword belongs to you, Clear Rain. It's part of your body. As for this sword of mine, I can use its power now. Muramasa, you can try it later and see if you can materialize Non-Aggression."
"Non-Aggression? Is that the name of your Shikai, Master?"
"Yes, let's stop war with force! Let's Non-Aggression! Let's play music and offer fine wine! Let's begin the feast, Non-Aggression!"
A golden light emanated from Chun's body, filling the entire space, accompanied by music played on instruments such as chime bells and zithers. A low table appeared on the ground, upon which sat bronze wine cups and food.
"This is..." Kōga tried picking up the food and wine, and it really worked! So he boldly took a bite, and was so moved he almost cried, "Delicious!"
"Mmm~", Isuzu couldn't stop after taking a bite, and could only nod hurriedly.
Aozumi tried a little of the wine and exclaimed, "Wow!! What kind of wine is this!? How can it taste so good~!?"
However, they still remembered what they were doing. Aozumi asked, "Master, is your Shikai just for eating and drinking?"
"Honey, you're not really a foodie, are you? Although you cook pretty well. And I remember Yuzu telling me a long time ago that Instructor Hanazawa said you might be a foodie from now on because you ate your way to Reishi Sense awakening. I never imagined that even your Shikai is about eating!"
"Wow! Really!?" Aozumi was stunned. Someone who would even use their Shikai) to eat for the sake of food is quite something!
Chun was helpless; this impression couldn't be changed. She waved her hand, "Think what you want. My ability Non-Aggression. You can try it. If you have any intention of hurting anyone, see who can hurt others. It's okay, you can try all you want."
The group exchanged glances, Aozumi suddenly placed his hand on Kōga's waist, then fiercely...
"Huh? Why can't I muster any strength?"
Kōga his wife's actions, Xianghe slapped Aozumi across the face, then his hand fell apart like a noodle. "This..."
You want to hit me!?
"Ahem, just trying it out, didn't you say you couldn't hit it?"
"But that doesn't mean you can try to hit me!"
"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Chun watched as Isuzu, standing beside him, beckoned Clear Rain and Thunder Charge to beat him up. The three of them didn't hold back and were really going to fight, but no matter how they attacked, it was all in vain in the end.
Attacks using physical force eventually turned into noodles, while attacks using energy turned into fireworks from the very beginning.
"Haha~, this is my power, Non-Aggression. Under the influence of my power, no one can harm others, nor can they harm themselves. There is no attack."
"But what's the use of that?"
"Yes, what's the use? I believe that force cannot solve all problems, so language becomes the way to solve them. Force is a backup and a deterrent; those who only use force will be looked down upon. Why?"
"Because it's uncivilized~"
"Yes, using force is barbaric in itself. Are we barbaric? Of course not, but what about the Soul Society right now? It's somewhere between civilization and barbarism."
Aozumi's little brain was working quickly. Kōga and Isuzu couldn't really participate in this topic; their knowledge was insufficient. Aozumi, on the other hand, could, because, regardless of the circumstances, she had indeed learned a lot about the aristocracy during her time as a canary, gaining a high level of understanding and a broad perspective.
"But the enemy we're facing is a feint."
"What about other enemies? For example, the Undead, and what about the Arrancar later on? And what about the Quincy, the enemies that have always existed in legends?"
"An enemy is an enemy."
Why must it be an enemy?
"Uh, yes, Master, why must they be enemies?"
"Why? Because of barbarity. The Soul Society only uses swords to reason, and only uses violence to eliminate all differences. That's barbarity."
Aozumi nodded thoughtfully, "Why not try to communicate? Ah! I know, someone is afraid!"
What are you afraid of?
"They're afraid of change! They're afraid more people will accept new ideas like I have; they're afraid of Soul Reaper gaining freedom! They fear spiritual freedom more than physical freedom! A reflection on class and power!"
"Hmph~ Hehe~ Haha~", Chun laughed until tears were almost in her eyes, "You are my most prized disciple, what a surprise! Aozumi, you can inherit everything from me."
"Huh!? Master! I'm your own disciple!" Kōga was dumbfounded.
"Hehe~", Aozumi jumped up happily.
