Resurrección

After nearly a year hanging around the Visored base, Tsunayoshi had already mastered two kinds of Resurrección power. Once he completed the final one today, he could be considered to have mastered Resurrección.

Inside the Visored base, red Ceros flew in every direction. Through Tsunayoshi's training and Urahara's help, the Visored members' compatibility with Hollowfication had improved even further, and now they were all firing Ceros in every possible way to pursue Tsunayoshi.

Tsunayoshi simply carried White Blade in hand, constantly weaving through the Visored's attacks, using this high-intensity danger to force himself into comprehending the last Resurrección.

At the edge of the field, Tatsuki sat cross-legged, continuously passing lunch boxes to the people beside her. During the time Tsunayoshi had been training, she had come over every day, because she had formed pretty good relationships with everyone in the Visored.

"Don't forget to let us know when you and that hedgehog baldy get married. You've taken good care of us this past year."

The one wolfing down her food off to the side was Hiyori. As Tsunayoshi's mastery of Resurrección grew, the intensity of the training here rose along with it. The Visored members all took turns coming down to eat and rest, never giving Tsunayoshi any time to catch his breath.

"Hiyori, what are you talking about?" Even though Tatsuki had already gotten used to everyone teasing her, she still could not help flushing red.

"Oh, come on. You two are already living together, so what's there to say? That baldy Hirako said he'd prepare a big gift for you when the time came," Hiyori said.

During the time Tatsuki had been living at the Sawada household, the Sawada couple had already taken advantage of a vacation to come back and meet Tatsuki. They were very satisfied with this girl they had known inside and out since childhood, and were only waiting for Tsunayoshi and Tatsuki to reach marriageable age before holding the ceremony for the two of them.

"I can't argue with you." When it came to her and Tsunayoshi's marriage, Tatsuki would not get into too much of a debate with Hiyori.

"All right, as long as you remember. I'm done eating." Hiyori wiped her mouth, put on her mask, picked up her Zanpakuto, and used Flash Step straight toward the center of the battlefield. Tsunayoshi's pressure increased by another notch.

Watching the Visored members ganging up on Tsunayoshi, a happy smile appeared on Tatsuki's face. During this period, not only had her relationship with Tsunayoshi deepened, she had also made a group of pretty good friends.

When Tatsuki remembered the first time she met Hirako, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. Back then, Hirako had habitually flirted with her, and as a result, Tsunayoshi had beaten him up badly. In the end, no one in the Visored spoke up for Hirako. Instead, they secretly applauded.

After becoming friends with the Visored, Tatsuki had also successfully used Fullbring to gain everyone's innate abilities. Among them, she rejected Hiyori's irritability and Lisa's dirty-book appraisal ability with Orihime Inoue's power. The rest were the abilities she obtained.

Rose's music appreciation, Muguruma Kensei's training techniques, Aikawa Love's minor Reiatsu bursts, Hachigen Ushōda's Kido development, Hirako Shinji's reversal perception, and Kuna Hak's Hakuda techniques.

The most useful among them was Kuna Hak's Hakuda techniques, which could directly raise Tatsuki's combat ability. The one with the greatest potential was the Kido development ability. Thanks to Tsunayoshi's Reishi control ability, Tatsuki had also learned a few Kido spells to make up for her flaw of only having close-combat ability. Maybe in the future, she could even further develop Kido suited to herself.

As for the ability she got from Hirako, it could only be said to specialize against Hirako. Sakanade's ability no longer had any effect on Tatsuki. Like Hirako, she could stay clear-headed while under Sakanade's effects.

The view shifted back to Tsunayoshi. He had already put on his Hollow mask and was fighting the Visored and the others, using White Blade from time to time to fire Ceros and resist the Visored's Cero attacks.

After Hiyori joined in, the Visored's attack formation became completely refined. It was extremely hard for gaps to appear in their attacks. Tsunayoshi had to attack on his own to create space to survive.

It seemed the Visored had not wasted these hundred years. Their teamwork allowed them to display very strong combat power in team battles. It was only because, in the original plot, some people's Hollowfication time was extremely short, plus a certain hot-tempered fellow liked throwing herself into danger, that they had failed to bring out their true strength.

Now, with Urahara's help and Tsunayoshi's training, the Hollowfication time of some guys who could only maintain it for a few seconds had greatly increased. On top of that, Hiyori's rage meter was not too high, so she was able to integrate into the team coordination.

"Give up, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Let me beat you up properly," Muguruma Kensei said furiously. By now, Muguruma had already become a unit of combat power, and the culprit behind everything was this hedgehog-headed brat.

"Your current strength is only barely up to par, Muguruma. You're still a hundred years too early to beat me!" Tsunayoshi immediately mocked him. As long as Muguruma Kensei let rage go to his head, he would be able to gain more breathing room.

"Heh, same old trick." Muguruma Kensei gave his evaluation. This was already not the first time Tsunayoshi had used this strategy. He would not lose his head again.

"Love, press in!" Hirako ordered.

Before Hirako's words had even fully fallen, Aikawa Love smashed his Tengu Maru into the ground. Flames were added to Tengu Maru, making this a very powerful strike in Aikawa Love's Shikai state.

Scorching Hollow Hammer!

Reiatsu from a Cero was added to the small-hammer move originally named Scorching. A fierce red pillar of fire shot up from beneath Tsunayoshi's feet. It was practically a Cero in the shape of a pillar of flame.

Tsunayoshi was forced to dodge away. Without being in his Resurrección state, he did not dare take Aikawa Love's attack head-on. The instant Tsunayoshi dodged, the remaining Visored members had all already arrived at his side, raising their Zanpakuto high and slashing toward him. As long as their blades landed on Tsunayoshi, this round of training would count as his loss.

This training was something Tsunayoshi had taken the initiative to restrict his own combat power for. Aside from the new power, he could not use any other abilities to break through the current situation. It looked like today would end here.

[Fine, I'll tell you...]

Suddenly, Tsunayoshi heard an echo in his heart. It sounded a little like the voice of a tsundere little girl, but there was no time for Tsunayoshi to think too much. He immediately held White Blade horizontally in front of him and chanted the Resurrección release phrase.

"Return to the Sea, Fish Dragon!"

White Blade instantly merged into Tsunayoshi's body. Blue Reiatsu wrapped tightly around him, and a blue fish tail grew out from his lower back. Fins grew from Tsunayoshi's elbows, waist sides, and calves. Deep-blue gemstones appeared on both sides of his hair, and the mask on his face also changed to a sea-blue base color.

This was Tsunayoshi's Rain Attribute Resurrección, fusing his body with Fish Dragon. It was the power of Lily of the Valley among the True Funeral Wreaths, and the one who had spoken inside his heart earlier was her.

In truth, the Hollow's power inside Tsunayoshi's body still had Byakuran's form. It was just that Byakuran, unlike Decimo, would not hand his power to Tsunayoshi so easily. Instead, he made Tsunayoshi obtain the recognition of every member of the True Funeral Wreaths. For this, Byakuran had even specially used Illusion to materialize the other Funeral Wreaths.

The easiest one to deal with among them was Ghost. He was Byakuran from another world and had no subjective consciousness of his own, so Tsunayoshi very easily obtained the Lightning Attribute Resurrección.

However, the hardest to deal with was not Byakuran himself, but this willful little girl, Lily of the Valley. Finally, after grinding away for a year, Lily of the Valley agreed to give her power to Tsunayoshi. The Rain Attribute Resurrección was the last power Tsunayoshi obtained.

Rain Flame spread out from Tsunayoshi's body like a sphere, and all the Visored members who had been raising their blades to slash at Tsunayoshi stopped moving. As if someone had pressed a pause button, they still maintained the posture of lifting their blades.

What was going on? Everyone felt like they could no longer breathe. Bubbles came out of their mouths, as if they were submerged in water.

A large amount of transparent Rain Flame completely enveloped the Visored. The characteristic of Rain Flame was Sedation. Inside this transparent pool, such a high concentration of Rain Flame could make living beings almost remain in a still state.

The weakest, Hiyori and Kuna Hak, had already been forcibly released from their Hollowfication masks. Their eyes rolled white, and it looked like they were about to be unable to hold on.

Tsunayoshi waved his hand and removed the control of the Rain Flame. The Visored members all fell to the ground, greedily gasping for air.

"You hedgehog baldy, you bastard!"

Having come back to life, Hiyori grabbed her Zanpakuto and hacked toward Tsunayoshi. Tsunayoshi only calmly raised his arm. The fin on his hand collided with the Zanpakuto, producing a crisp metallic clash.

This was Tsunayoshi's Rain Attribute Resurrección. The fins on his hands were no less sharp than an ordinary Zanpakuto.

"Damn it!" Hiyori gritted her teeth and removed the Hollowfication on her face. "Hedgehog baldy, your Resurrección is completely finished now, right?"

"That's right. This ends here. Thank you all for your cooperation," Tsunayoshi thanked everyone.

"Ends here... I've never seen anyone with this many kinds of abilities..." Hirako grumbled.

"It's finally over..." Lisa put away her Zanpakuto. She had already accumulated a portion of dirty books she had not read, and now she had to hurry up and make up for it.

"By the way, you Vice-Captains need to focus on developing your Bankai too. The training after this won't be just for those Captains," Tsuna called to Lisa and the other Vice-Captains.

Since the Captains still had to master deeper Hollowfication in their Bankai state, their training was not over yet. But because the Vice-Captains had not mastered Bankai, each of them thought it had nothing to do with them.

"Come on, as if Bankai is that easy to pull off," Lisa said with an indifferent wave. If she could use Bankai, she would have learned it sometime in the past century.

Tsuna felt it was a bit of a shame. If he remembered correctly, Lisa had been among the final roster of Captains in the Gotei 13, which meant she had learned Bankai in the end. Her attitude right now was just a real pity.

But now was not the time to get hung up on the Visored's Bankai problem. Tatsuki had already sprinted over. "Tsuna, congratulations."

Tsuna naturally took Tatsuki's hand. For the past year, Tatsuki had been the one taking care of him, allowing him to devote himself completely to training. "Thank you."

"All right, you two, hurry up and go home. Stop spreading that sour stench around here," Hirako grumbled with dead-fish eyes.

"Fine. I've got something to see Urahara about over the next few days. I'll come back in a few days to help train you," Tsuna said. The two sides were helping each other, so he could not be the only one improving his strength; he had to help Hirako and the others progress too.

At present, the Captain-level members of the Visored could already use the power of the mask while in Bankai, but if they used it for too long, they would still lose their minds.

As for Hirako and the others' Resurrección state, Urahara had already cultivated a portion of unconscious Hollow's power and sealed it into their Zanpakuto. That was also why they could maintain Hollowfication for long periods in Shikai, and why they could attempt to use the mask's power in Bankai.
