Urahara Kisuke's New Invention

Within the Second Division, only the Punishment Corps was a high-risk post.

The Supervision Squad guarded the Worm's Nest. Under normal circumstances, they did not need to fight.

Even if they did fight, the enemies they faced were prisoners without Zanpakuto.

The Patrol Squad was a scouting unit responsible for monitoring the movements of the other twelve divisions. The other twelve divisions all knew they existed, and no one would go looking for trouble by attacking those scouts.

The Intelligence Squad was responsible for processing and categorizing all kinds of intelligence from the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World, then storing it in the Great Spirit Library Corridor.

The Inner Garden Squad was responsible for relaying messages, delivering orders issued by Central 46 or the Captain-Commander to designated groups.

Though they were all part of the Second Division, as long as Ailin was transferred out of the Punishment Corps, his safety would be guaranteed no matter which squad he joined.

Once he understood Furuta Aoki's good intentions, Ailin's figure stiffened for a moment.

Captain Furuta...

Ailin still remembered that when he had just graduated from the True Zero Spirit Arts Academy, his talent had been average, and he had still fallen short of qualifying for the Gotei 13.

It was Furuta Aoki, who had come to recruit for the Second Division and noticed that Ailin's Shunpo was quite good, who made an exception and accepted him into the Second Division.

Over the next thirty years, it was under Furuta Aoki's care that Ailin had survived mission after mission, growing from a rookie.

Now, Ailin's strength had increased greatly, surpassing Furuta Aoki's, yet Furuta Aoki was still using his own methods to resolve Ailin's crisis.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ailin's lips, and a trace of warmth entered his eyes.

In this damn world, there were still people who treated him well.

"Oh? Interesting."

In an empty stretch of sandy ground, a black Hell Butterfly rested on Shihoin Yoruichi's index finger.

After Yoruichi read the information within the Hell Butterfly, she grinned.

"Hey, Urahara, how much longer?"

"Almost done, almost done. Three days at most."

"Fine. I'll send Little Soifon a reply first. We'll head back in three days."

Three days later, a bedraggled Urahara Kisuke appeared before Yoruichi and tossed a wooden humanoid target onto the ground in front of her.

"Finally finished. This thing was really difficult to make."

Shihoin Yoruichi stepped forward and flicked the humanoid wooden target several times with her finger. "Urahara, can this thing really let someone master Bankai in three days?"

Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi had been childhood friends who grew up together.

In Yoruichi's eyes, as long as Urahara Kisuke wanted to do something, there was nothing he could not accomplish.

But this thing Urahara Kisuke had made this time truly exceeded her understanding.

In the Soul Society, the most talented person, in Yoruichi's opinion, was Urahara Kisuke.

Yet even Urahara Kisuke himself had taken nearly ten years to complete his Bankai training.

That had already broken the Soul Society's record.

But this latest invention of Urahara Kisuke's could actually allow someone to complete Bankai training within three days. If word got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive upheaval throughout the Soul Society.

"Mm. The most important step in Bankai training is to make the true form of your Zanpakuto fully materialize, then subdue the materialized Zanpakuto. Only then can it be completed."

"But looking across more than two thousand years of Soul Society history, very few people have had the talent to complete this step."

"Most Shinigami simply do not have enough spiritual pressure to make their Zanpakuto materialize."
