The Blocker
Just as Byakuya Kuchiki and Gremmy combat, Yhwach Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, was leading the Sasakibe towards their battlefield.
When analyzing the possibility of the Quincy attacking Soul Society, the division of the battlefield was discussed by Kyōraku and Ukitake, while their teacher, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, was present.
The number of Quincy attacking Soul Society was also in Kyōraku's plan. The only weakness in this allocation plan was the battlefield between Byakuya Kuchiki and Gremmy.
When Kyōraku and his team were making contingency plans, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's role was to be mobile, meaning that wherever there was a problem on the battlefield, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would be responsible for fixing it.
After witnessing Yhwach unleash the Auswählen, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto immediately headed towards Byakuya's location, and was now about to reach the outermost edge of the Seireitei, inside the thick Seireitei Wall.
The blazing flames enveloped Sasakibe's body, further enhancing his Flash Step speed. At this moment, Sasakibe had already activated his Bankai, Ōetsu Nimaiya, but he was still somewhat slower than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
"Lord Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, why don't you put me down and go support Captain Kuchiki ahead of time?" Sasakibe suggested with a grim expression. After Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto stepped down, he had tried his best, but it seemed that his talent had reached its limit, and his somewhat aging spirit body was no longer enough for him to go any further.
"Chōjirō, trust me. You are crucial to this battle. Just do what you're good at." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't elaborate further.
Having followed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto for over a thousand years, Sasakibe had come to understand Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's thoughts: his old tricks, sneak attacks. No wonder Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had been training him with Soi Fon for the past year—it was all to improve his speed.
While Gremmy locked in fierce combat with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Byakuya, even the Visionary might not have noticed Chōjirō Sasakibe hiding in the shadows.
"I will follow your instructions!"
However, no sooner had Sasakibe finished speaking than an even more arrogant voice suddenly reached their ears.
"In that case, I think you two should both stay!"
Two sudden attacks came at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe. Just Sasakibe Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto tried to dodge, they found themselves seemingly locked on and had no time to evade the sudden attack.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to use Ryūjin Jakka to counter the attack when he discovered that his attack seemed to have no effect. It was as if the attack had completely seen through Ryūjin Jakka's spiritual pressure!
With two loud thuds, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe were pinned to the Seirei Wall by this sudden attack.
There was no pain, but both Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe discovered that they were completely unable to move, and each had a yellow U-shaped pattern imprinted on their chest.
The moment Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and his men saw the pattern, they immediately understood who had launched the attack.
The Saint Letters U, Nanana Nadjakup, has the ability of being unguarded. It allows the user to see through an opponent's spiritual pressure weaknesses and exploit these vulnerabilities to cause the opponent's Reishi to leak out, thus paralyzing them.
According to the information provided by Tsuna others, this person's combat strength was not considered particularly strong. Furthermore, since his information had already been obtained, Ukitake simply did not assign him as a captain, but instead left the task to the Bleach led by the Vice-Captain.
Unexpectedly, Nadjakup was incredibly lucky. After being casually thrown away by Ukitake, he still managed to leap over the Seireitei, where he encountered the former leader of Soul Society, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
No matter what Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto wanted to do, Nadjakup believed he had the ability to restrain them. After activating the Vollständig strengthened by Yhwach, he saw through Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the Sasakibe's weaknesses with just one glance.
Nadjakup decisively fired two U-shaped rays, directly paralyzing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe on the Seirei Wall.
Nadjakup walked out with a smug look on his face. The moment the Sasakibe saw this dark-skinned, fly-like man in sunglasses, his anger was immediately palpable.
"Nadjakup, what kind of skill is a sneak attack? Fight me again!" the Sasakibe shouted.
According to Tsuna's intelligence, even Aizen's spiritual pressure level could be taken down by Nadjakup for 5 minutes. Sasakibe doesn't think he can be stronger than Aizen. 5 minutes is enough for Nadjakup to turn him into dust with his Spirit Bow and Arrows.
The reason why Sasakibe shouted angrily was to make Nadjakup put him down. After all, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was by his side, and he couldn't let Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto lose face, so Sasakibe had to do it himself.
"What a joke!" Nadjakup drew his Spirit Bow, aiming at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe. "I wonder what kind of reward His Majesty will give me for killing the former Captain -Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13?"
Nadjakup had no intention of wasting words with the Sasakibe. He immediately released the Spirit Bow, and the arrow flew towards the two of them to the Sasakibe's incredulous gaze.
"No!!!" Sasakibe's screams echoed through the heavens and earth. In his eyes, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's life was far more important than his own.
"Chōjirō, didn't I tell you that you must always remain calm, no matter what?"
Suddenly, fierce flames erupted from the Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, forming a wall of fire that blocked Nadjakup's attack and protected Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe inside.
"How is this possible!" Nadjakup couldn't believe it. He quickly used the power of the Saint Letters to check Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's weakness. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's spiritual pressure was indeed still leaking, and he should still be in a paralyzed state.
"Nanana Nadjakup, do you know why the Seireitei doesn't assign anyone to be your opponent?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's voice came from across the wall of fire. Nadjakup was startled, then immediately became furious, "That's because you're afraid of me! You know that if you run into me, you'll only become my target!"
The flames parted, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's appearance was once again revealed to Nadjakup. "That's because you are not a strong opponent for any of the Bleach; any one of them could kill you!"
Nadjakup, hearing such humiliating words, was about to retort when he heard an even more arrogant voice coming from the other side of the fire.
"Why bother talking to him so much Old Man Yama? I remember you have important business to attend to, don't you?"
The flames coalesced into a human figure, which appeared to resemble Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto in some ways. This was the materialized form of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Zanpakuto Ryūjin Jakka.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was somewhat helpless. Even if he had mastered a Beyond Bankai, his sword's fiery nature meant it would still be defiant.
"Damn it, I saw through your weakness! You were caught off guard!" Nadjakup used the power of the Saint Letters to look at Ryūjin Jakka, and the next moment he was stunned. There was no flaw in his spiritual pressure at all; the grid-like spiritual pressure was perfect.
"When did it become your place to look into the weaknesses of our Zanpakuto?" Ryūjin Jakka appeared behind Nadjakup. "Let me tell you, our only weakness is the amount of spiritual pressure we exert!"
With a single Ryūjin Jakka, Ryujin Jakka unleashed a violent fire tornado that enveloped Nadjakup. The fierce flames relentlessly eroded Nadjakup's body, and Nadjakup himself was powerless to escape from the fire tornado.
"See? Chōjirō, calm down. Even Genryūmaru can be his opponent."
Hearing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's voice, Genryūmaru was drawn and materialized, standing next to Sasakibe. He couldn't help Sasakibe remove the paralysis, but he could serve as a fighting force.
Just as Ryūjin Jakka said, Zanpakuto understand their own abilities best. Their spiritual pressure drive has no weaknesses. The only weakness is the amount of spiritual pressure that drives them. With spiritual pressure at Aizen's level, even the weakest Zanpakuto will become incredibly powerful.
That's why Ukitake allowed Nadjakup to roam freely in the Seireitei. All Bleach above the rank of Seated Officer had their Zanpakuto materialized by Koume using Muramasa. No matter who was immobilized by Nadjakup, they could materialize their Zanpakuto to fight.
From the beginning, Nadjakup was not a threat.
That's what they say, but Nadjakup doesn't only possess his own power. Inside the fire tornado, he didn't hesitate to activate Pernida's evolutionary power, forcibly stopping the fire tornado for a moment before emerging from it.
"Tch, always so restless!"
The surrounding flames vanished instantly, and Ryūjin Jakka revealed her full face beneath the flames—a spitting image of a young Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Nadjakup, who thought Ryūjin Jakka was intimidated by his Ryūjin Jakka, was about to make a sarcastic remark when an ominous premonition surged into his heart. Pernida's nerves expanded wildly because they sensed that if they didn't evolve soon, they would really die!
"The Zanka no Tachi - North - Tengai Kyojin!"
With a single Ryūjin Jakka, the struggling Nadjakup was instantly reduced to ashes. However, the power of the Tengai Kyojin did not cease, and it charged directly towards Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Sasakibe.
Boom!
The towering and imposing Seireitei Wall was Ryūjin Jakka Jakka's single slash, allowing one to stand in the Seireitei and gaze at the Rukongai from afar without needing to climb any further.
"Ryūjin Jakka, are you trying to kill me?!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's fiery temper was beyond restraint; if this weren't his own sword, he would have even wanted to cut it in two.
"Stop arguing, Old Man Yama. With your abilities, how could you possibly not escape?" Ryūjin Jakka completely ignored Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, her gaze seemingly able to pierce through the barriers of several mountain ranges. "If you don't hurry, that subordinate really won't be able to hold on."
After saying that, Ryūjin Jakka transformed back into his Zanpakuto. Faced with the crucial issues of the Soul Society, he wouldn't waste time arguing with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
The reason Ryūjin Jakka swung his sword like that was because he believed that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto could take Najakup and Sasakibe away the moment Nadjakup's ability failed, and clearly, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto did just that.
Seeing Ryujin Jakka restored to his Zanpakuto Ryūjin Jakka, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto could only temporarily suppress his anger. After all, Ryūjin Jakka had done a good deed by cutting open the Seireitei Wall, saving them from having to take a detour.
"Hurry up, Sasakibe!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto took the lead. He also sensed that something was wrong with Byakuya's condition. There was a spiritual pressure fluctuation on Byakuya's side that he was very familiar with.
At this moment, Byakuya's face was grim. Standing before him were two enemies: one Gremmy with outstretched wings, and the other was Yhwach!
