I'm So Jealous! / Curse Him! God of Poverty

Ōtōgawa Utsugi had heard of this name, but he was a very professional assassin. The Gotei 13 was now equivalent to the Seireitei's regular army. The two sides could not be said to be irreconcilable enemies, but they could be said to be in a state of hostility. Therefore, he had never had contact with the Gotei 13 before.

But this time is different. For my money, I'll kill even the Soul King!

Just then, it started raining heavily again. Ōtōgawa Utsugi held the knife in their hands, its coldness piercing into the darkness.

Seireitei, I've arrived.

After returning to Yamabuki Chidori, Seireitei Ōtōgawa Utsugi to come to her, and also paid a visit to Shijima Chiru.

Shijima Chiru used to be an assassin too; they were in the same profession. I wonder if she knows anything about Ōtōgawa Utsugi.

After hearing Shijima Chiru Yamabuki Chidori burst into laughter, eventually laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"What's wrong with you? It can't be that serious, can it?" Yamabuki Chidori said with a helpless expression.

"Ōtōgawa Utsugi is very famous in the assassin circle. He never fails to complete a mission. But he has a huge weakness: he's incredibly stingy. A real miser, a real tightwad. Once money is in his hands, getting it back is like trying to climb to heaven! You actually stole his secret stash and left him those words telling him to kill you... I bet Ōtōgawa Utsugi is about to vomit blood from anger right now. But don't blame me for not warning you, although he's stingy, his strength shouldn't be underestimated. In a real fight, he'd definitely be stronger than me."

Shijima Chiru is more inclined towards assassination, striking with deadly accuracy and then disappearing into the distance.

As the saying goes, "Kill in the mortal world, escape a hundred miles away."

This describes an assassin like Shijima Chiru, whose Zanpakuto abilities allow him to kill without a trace.

If Shijima Chiru were to use any means necessary to assassinate high-ranking members of the Seireitei, aside from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Yamabuki Chidori, it would be difficult for anyone else to resist.

Of course, if they miss their first strike, all of these Captain are now capable of killing him in return.

According to Shijima Chiru, Ōtōgawa Utsugi is more like an assassin who goes on a rampage, charging in and killing indiscriminately no matter who or where the target is!

Furthermore, no one has ever seen what the power of his Zanpakuto is, which is somewhat worrying.

Yamabuki Chidori nodded slightly. It seemed that Ōtōgawa Utsugi was quite capable, at least at the Captain-level. With him acquired, the Gotei 13 could be considered officially established.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi arrived at Seireitei. Looking at the prosperity before them, Ōtōgawa Utsugi said in a trembling voice, "It's unfair, it's so unfair! I work so hard to earn this little bit of money, but the nobles here easily possess hundreds of times more wealth than me. It's so unfair!"

"What are those people doing over there? Get out of here!" the two gatekeepers shouted at Ōtōgawa Utsugi.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi knew that his goal was to kill, so he decided to avoid conflict with these people unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, he left the gates of Seireitei without looking back.

Once he was out of Death's sight, he leaped onto the wall beside him and, with a series of nimble movements, moved inside like a monkey.

At that time, Seireitei did not yet have the high walls behind it. Basically, anyone with some ability could come and go as they pleased, and nothing could stop them.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi had heard that Yamabuki Chidori was the Chief Strategist of the Gotei 13, so his workplace must be the core of the Gotei 13.

Based on information gathered from various sources, he quickly located the core of the Gotei 13, the First Division.

"Hmph, I'll just wait here quietly. I know how to fish, and a fisherman must be patient." Ōtōgawa Utsugi quietly lay in ambush on the roof beam, but they waited and waited and waited, but their target did not appear.

"What time is it already? As Staff Officer, how can you not be at work at this hour? It's incredibly irresponsible. Do you know how hard it is to find a stable job out there?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi complained inwardly.

Just then, Yamamoto walked in with Chōjirō Sasakibe.

As soon as Yamamoto entered, he sensed a faint but palpable killing intent. Most top assassins can conceal their killing intent to avoid being exposed before making a move. However, Ōtōgawa Utsugi's emotions were too volatile at the moment. Although he was trying his best to hide his killing intent, the Captain Commander still sensed it.

"Hmph! It seems I've really been underestimated. They actually dared to send assassins to kill me! Sigh! I'm getting old! I'm getting old!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sighed. Chōjirō Sasakibe, standing beside him, didn't understand what was happening. Why was the Captain Commander suddenly sighing?

"Sasakibe, you can go out first." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto decided to stay behind and deal with the assassin in front of him.

Since the establishment of the Gotei 13, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto has found that opportunities for battle are becoming increasingly rare. His subordinates can handle most of the minor skirmishes, and there are almost no strong individuals in Soul Society who can break through the ranks of more than a dozen Captain plus Yamabuki Chidori.

This also led Captain Commander Yamamoto to really want to fight someone, but he couldn't do so openly or in private because of his position.

Now it's all good!

Someone has come to assassinate me!

I'm so damn happy!

Yamamoto could clearly sense that the assassin was on the roof beam. He deliberately exposed a huge opening, turning his back to the assassin in the hope that the assassin would launch an attack on him.

My Ryujin Jakka is already itching for more.

To Yamamoto's surprise, the assassin held back and did not attack him.

"Hmm? Did you see through my deliberate attempt to create an opening? I didn't expect you to be such a master! Let's just wait and see who can outlast whom." Captain Commander Yamamoto, while dealing with his work in front of him, keeping an eye on the assassins on the roof.

Little did he know that the person Ōtōgawa Utsugi for was not him at all, but Yamabuki Chidori.

"Damn it, do you even have a sense of responsibility? It's already noon and you're still not at work? Even your Captain Commander is here! Why Staff Officer arriving later than the officer? How flexible are the working hours here? Am I even allowed to come to work?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi were internally ranting.

Chapter 235: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred!

"Why hasn't this assassin made a move yet? I'm itching to get started! Is he too cowardly? Should I show weakness?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto pretended to stand up, rubbing his lower back. "I'm getting old, getting old, my body isn't what it used to be! If it were before, sigh!"

"Didn't you see that! Your Captain Commander works so hard, shouldn't you, as a Staff Officer, share the workload? You should quit your Staff Officer and let me do it, how about that? I promise I'll work from 6 am to 9 pm, no weekends off, no paid leave, and no insurance. As long as the salary is right, I'm willing to work like a slave." Ōtōgawa Utsugi were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Captain Commander Yamamoto noticed that the assassin's killing intent had weakened.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi quietly retreated from the roof beam. The Captain Commander was even more curious. What was this assassin doing here? Why did he leave without even making a move? Don't go! I haven't had enough yet!

After leaving the Captain Commander's room, Ōtōgawa Utsugi began searching for someone who could gather intelligence, even though they didn't know what Yamabuki Chidori looked like.

Suddenly he saw a boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, carrying documents. He jumped down instantly, thrusting his sword straight at the boy.

He originally thought the other party was just a child and that he would easily capture him, but to his surprise, the child reacted extremely quickly and immediately drew his sword to fight back after discovering the assassin.

"Hmm? This kid's skills aren't bad!" Ōtōgawa Utsugi were shocked, but there was still an insurmountable gap between them. After several exchanges, the sword in the boy's hand was still knocked away.

"Don't worry, I don't kill for free. Tell me why Yamabuki Chidori hasn't come to work yet?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi shouted.

"Um... you are...?"

"Don't ask so many questions, or I'll cut your head off."

"Brother Yamabuki was transferred to the 11th Division a long time ago. He's now the Lieutenant of the 11th Division, so of course he wouldn't be working at the First Division anymore. Why are you looking for Brother Yamabuki? You're not an assassin, are you?"

Ōtōgawa Utsugi were speechless. Had they wasted the entire morning waiting?

"I... I'm his friend, I'm here to collect a debt from him, he owes me a lot of money!" Ōtōgawa Utsugi said listlessly.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were an assassin. My name is Chōjirō Sasakibe, the Lieutenant of the First Division. Why does Yamabuki- san owe you money? Oh, right, his salary has been withheld for six months. He must be living a very frugal life, right? He must be living off Captain Unohana's salary." Chōjirō Sasakibe said.

"And who is Captain Unohana?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi.

"The Captain of the 11th Division. The two of them are living together now. Captain Unohana is a great beauty," said Chōjirō Sasakibe, who can be quite terrifying when he gets crazy!

Of course, he didn't say the second half of his sentence.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi were utterly shocked. "So, this kid not only doesn't do any proper work, but he's also a kept man? And a beautiful woman is supporting him? This... God, this is so unfair! Why isn't there a rich woman supporting me?"

"Are you alright?" Chōjirō Sasakibe noticed that the man's face looked very pale.

"Young man, tell me, where is the 11th Division?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi.

"It's just to the west, but Yamabuki- san has a pretty good reputation among the team members. If you go directly to ask for money like that, you might get killed by the 11th Division members..." Before Chōjirō Sasakibe could finish speaking, Ōtōgawa Utsugi had already walked away.

"What a strange person!" Chōjirō Sasakibe said, completely bewildered. Wait a minute, even though Yamabuki -nii was fined half a year's salary, he still owns such a large clothing store, and the business is booming. How could he possibly owe so much money?

The adult world is truly amazing.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi arrived at the 11th Division, their expressions turning extremely sinister.

I despise those nobles because they can get what I dream of without doing anything.

But I dislike those who are life winners even more.

I will torture you to death in the cruelest way possible!

As a top assassin, Ōtōgawa Utsugi would not recklessly charge in from the front, but would quietly circle around into the 11th Division.

Just then, Ōtōgawa Utsugi suddenly remembered something very important: they didn't seem to know what Yamabuki Chidori looked like. What if they killed the wrong person? They weren't going to kill people for free!

"It's okay. He's so high-ranking. When the team members see him, they'll definitely call him by his name. That way, I'll know what Yamabuki Chidori looks like, right? As a top assassin, you have to be patient and persistent. Otherwise, how can you make big money?" Ōtōgawa Utsugi kept comforting himself, taking deep breaths to adjust his mindset, and then silently lurking on the roof of the 11th Division.

I'm so hungry! I haven't eaten anything for lunch!

No problem, I'm a top assassin, being hungry won't stop me from killing!

Ōtōgawa Utsugi gripped their swords tightly, ready to launch a fierce attack the moment they spotted their target.

He then sat and lay on the roof for an entire afternoon but still couldn't find the Yamabuki Chidori.

I did see the Captain of the 11th Division, Unohana Yachiru, along the way.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi were aware of the rumors surrounding this woman. Legend had it that she was a woman like a demon, who killed without hesitation and was utterly wicked!

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow; even a top assassin like myself wouldn't dare to easily provoke this woman.

Moreover, his philosophy is that he never kills for free.

Dusk arrived quickly.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi hadn't eaten all day and were soaking in the cold rain. They were exhausted and hungry, but they still maintained their consciousness with their unwavering will.

Even after the 11th Division finished their shift, they still hadn't seen Yamabuki Chidori.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi finally couldn't stand it anymore and quietly came to the 11th Division. By this time, most of the people had already left, leaving only a few members who were preparing to patrol.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi originally appeared rather aloof and refined, and coupled with his nice clothes, he was often mistaken for a nobleman. Of course, these clothes were also free; a long time ago, after he killed a nobleman, he discovered that the nobleman's build was similar to his own, so he took off these clothes and put them on himself.

"Hey, you guys over there, where's your Lieutenant? I need to talk to him!" Ōtōgawa Utsugi said in a very cold tone.

The two members of the 11th Division frowned slightly. How could this person be so rude? However, judging from his clothes, he should be a nobleman. Could he be a friend of the Chief Strategist?

Chapter 236: Curse Him, Poverty God!

Ōtōgawa Utsugi had extensive experience in infiltrating, and they knew that the more critical the situation, the more arrogant they needed to be. If they showed even the slightest sign of cowardice, they risked being exposed and attacked.

He had to believe even to himself that he was now an arrogant and domineering Great Noble who had come to see the Chief Strategist of the Gotei 13.

The two members of the 11th Division were a little suspicious of the other party's arrogant attitude. Although these members didn't take nobles seriously at all, it would be a different story if the other party knew the Chief Strategist.

"The Chief Strategist is on leave today and didn't come at all. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" the two team members said.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi almost spat out blood. So all the suffering I endured today was for nothing?

Before the two team members could react, Ōtōgawa Utsugi had already disappeared from their sight.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi were on the roof, gently rubbing their temples, trying to calm down.

Oh right, that kid said before that Yamabuki Chidori lives with the Captain of the 11th Division, Unohana. If I follow this woman, I can find out where Yamabuki Chidori lives.

I'm so smart!

At this time, Unohana had not gone far, Ōtōgawa Utsugi was secretly following Unohana from a distance.

Before she had gone far, Unohana sensed a faint but palpable killing intent behind her and immediately turned around. "Who's there?"

Ōtōgawa Utsugi were startled, then realized that they had revealed their murderous intent due to their emotional fluctuations. They immediately adjusted their emotions and let the murderous intent gradually fade away!

Unohana did sense a murderous aura, but it quickly disappeared.

"Am I just imagining things? Am I working too hard? Or am I hallucinating because I haven't killed enough people these past few days?" Unohana muttered to herself.

After Unohana left, Ōtōgawa Utsugi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She truly deserved to be called a master. She was able to detect the murderous aura so easily. It seemed that he had been too attached to appearances. He was not qualified to be an assassin.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi quickly adjusted their mindset and emotions. This time, the killing intent on his body was almost zero, so even the most powerful person couldn't detect it, and then they continued to follow.

"I'm home!" Unohana opened the door and found that Yamabuki Chidori had already prepared dinner at home.

"Today, Shunshun Shidō and brought some fine beef. How about we have beef hot pot tonight? Would you like some sake?" Yamabuki Chidori had already cooked the meat in the pot, poured two cups of sake, and a delicious dinner was laid out in front of her.

"Meat... they're actually eating beef! That's too extravagant! I haven't eaten meat in decades, and they dare to eat such a luxurious thing in front of me! And the wine, it's such high-end wine, those evil rich people! No wonder someone is willing to buy your head!" Ōtōgawa Utsugi finally saw Yamabuki Chidori.

He originally planned to make his move when it was late at night, but then he thought, wouldn't it be too easy to just kill him like this? I'm going to let you experience the most terrifying thing in the world!

poverty.

I'll make you die of poverty and depression!

This is the most terrifying way to die in the world!

Ōtōgawa Utsugi drew his Zanpakuto and pointed the tip at Yamabuki Chidori from afar. "Curse him, Poverty God."

The blade's exterior remained unchanged, but the edge emitted an invisible black aura. This aura, like a venomous snake, burrowed into the ground and crawled towards its target.

While Yamabuki Chidori and Unohana were eating, they suddenly felt a chill. Yamabuki Chidori thought that the assassin had come for her, so she hurriedly released her Reiatsu to investigate.

Detecting Reiatsu is actually not very reliable.
