The Kidō Corps Is Formed / Shinigami, Get to Work!

Looking at the screaming girl in front of her, Yamabuki Chidori smiled smugly. Scream! Scream! It won't do you any good, even if you scream your lungs out.

Yamabuki Chidori put the latest Shinigami Uniform on Shūtara Senjumaru, then drew her Zanpakuto.

"I'm coming! I'm really coming! Hehehe!" Yamabuki Chidori held a knife in her hand, aimed it at Shūtara Senjumaru's abdomen, and stabbed down.

Shūtara Senjumaru was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes, but he waited for a long time without feeling any pain.

She mustered her courage and opened her eyes, only to find that her Shinigami Uniform was shimmering with a faint glow, blocking the Zanpakuto's thrust.

It... it was a success?

Chapter 245: The Kidō Corps is Established

Shūtara Senjumaru was so frightened that he tightly closed his eyes, but after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain. He secretly opened one eye to check and found that his Shinigami Uniform had actually blocked Yamabuki Chidori's slash.

"It... it's a success?" Shūtara Senjumaru exclaimed in surprise.

Yamabuki Chidori his sword a second time, he suppressed his Reiatsu to a level similar to that of Shūtara Senjumaru. As expected, the second strike was also blocked by the faint light emanating from his Shinigami Uniform.

"Hahaha, I really am a genius." Shūtara Senjumaru couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yamabuki Chidori swung his third sword.

Although the Shinigami Uniform also emitted a fluorescent glow, the glow shattered after blocking the third attack.

"So, the current Shinigami Uniform can withstand three attacks of the same level as the wearer?" Yamabuki Chidori Yamabuki Chidori's eyes lit up; she was quite satisfied with this effect.

This is equivalent to having an extra piece of body armor that can withstand three bullets in an FPS shooting game, greatly increasing the survival rate.

"I told you you had to believe me, I really am a genius." Shūtara Senjumaru said with a smug look, "Why don't you put me down already?"

After putting down Yamabuki Chidori, Shūtara Senjumaru began asking about mass production.

Shūtara Senjumaru looked troubled. "The latest improved Shinigami Uniform uses Kidō to reinforce Shinigami Uniform Reiatsu inside, which means that to mass-produce Shinigami Uniform, we need a large number of people who can use Kidō to assist us."

"Don't worry about that. The Gotei 13 has several thousand people, and quite a few of them know how to use Kidō. I can send them all over to you as long as you need them," Yamabuki Chidori said.

He had an idea before, which was to select the Shinigami who were skilled in using Kidō to form the "Kidō Corps". The Captain Commander agreed, and the modification of the Shinigami Uniform was just the right opportunity.

As for the Captain of the Kidō Corps...

A figure flashed through Yamabuki Chidori's mind.

Hane Hane Chiyo.

Don't let her seemingly idle and mischievous nature fool you; she possesses exceptional talent in Kidō and has already mastered Bankai. Her overall strength is definitely on par with the Lieutenant. However, her appearance is so deceptive that everyone mistake her for a naughty little girl.

It's important to know that in the Gotei 13 of later generations, everyone who could learn Bankai was trained as Reserve Captain.

Kuchiki Byakuya even said that everyone who learns Bankai will be recorded in the history of Soul Society.

"That's not all. As long as the Shinigami wears the Shinigami Uniform for a period of time after it is damaged, their Reiatsu will repair the Shinigami Uniform. As long as the person doesn't die, the Shinigami Uniform will continue to provide protection. What do you think?" Shūtara Senjumaru asked smugly.

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly put on the damaged Shinigami Uniform, and sure enough, under Yamabuki Chidori's powerful Reiatsu, the Shinigami Uniform was quickly restored to its original state.

Yamabuki Chidori finally understood why Shūtara Senjumaru was chosen by the Zero Division. Although he wasn't particularly skilled in combat, he was an absolute genius when it came to research and development.

Even if the Gotei 13 13 destroyed, as long as the Zero Division still exists, it can be quickly rebuilt using this technology.

"Clean this place up, and I'll go find all the people who are proficient in Kidō." Yamabuki Chidori quickly left her shop and went to the First Division Barracks, where she found the Captain Commander.

He then recounted how the Shinigami Uniform had been successfully researched.

The Captain Commander hadn't expected such a gain before the big battle, and agreed with Yamabuki Chidori's opinion without hesitation.

All those currently proficient in Kidō from the Gotei 13 will be transferred out to form a new team, the Kidō Corps.

However, when Yamabuki Chidori proposed that Hane Hane Chiyo be appointed as the Captain of the Kidō Corps, the Captain Commander refused.

"That little girl is indeed talented, but talent alone is definitely not enough to become the leader of a team. She needs to grow for at least one or two hundred years before she can take on this position," Captain Commander Yamamoto said.

"But... if we don't use Hane Hane Chiyo ... we don't have anyone left who can serve as the Captain of the Kidō Corps ..." Yamabuki Chidori said with difficulty.

Cultivating the Kidō requires talent.

After the Thousand-Year Blood War, Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen are recognized as having the strongest Reiatsu. However, because Kurosaki Ichigo has very poor control over his Reiatsu, he cannot even unleash the simplest Kidō.

There's also Renji Abarai, who possesses Captain-level Reiatsu, but even firing a single Cremation Cannon often results in it exploding.

When Yamabuki Chidori looked up, she found the Captain Commander staring straight at her.

"Um... Captain Commander... what do you mean by looking at me like that?" Yamabuki Chidori asked guiltily.

"I don't think anyone is more suitable to be the Captain of the Kidō Corps than you! Your Kidō is recognized as the strongest, and you can instantly cast ninety-nine Kidō. You are the only one in the entire Soul Society who can do that. Who else is worthy of being the Captain of the Kidō Corps?" the Captain Commander said.

"But... but I'm currently serving as the Lieutenant of the 11th Division and the Chief Strategist of the Gotei 13. I already have a lot of work to do, and..."

And there's no salary yet.

Yamabuki Chidori silently complained to herself.

Yamamoto immediately saw through what Yamabuki Chidori was thinking.

"A great battle is imminent. No matter what happens now, we must first overcome the current difficulties. Don't worry, the Gotei 13 will not forget your contributions. I will write to the Central 46 and ask them to reward you, how about that?" Yamamoto directly offered a rosy promise.

Central 46? Captain Commander, if you want to get something for nothing, just say so. Look at the state of Central 46 these days!

They're all cowards, like little brats.

If you tell them to go east, they absolutely won't dare go west.

And this award... it can't just be a verbal commendation, right?

Can you offer something more substantial as a reward?

For example, raising wages, establishing a retirement system...

"It's decided then. Now, as the Captain Commander, I Chief Strategist Yamabuki Chidori, the Chief of Captain of the Gotei 13, to assume the position of Captain of the Kidō Corps. Any problems? No use having problems, just keep quiet." Captain Commander Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki Chidori with a smile.

Yamabuki Chidori left in tears; hadn't she just shot herself in the foot?

I clearly wanted to put Hane Hane Chiyo in this position, but how did I end up as the Captain of the Kidō Corps?

And the salary remains the same.

Old Man Yamamoto has thoroughly mastered the capitalist system.

Of course, I also offered my own opinions.

I have no problem being the Captain of the Kidō Corps, but Hane Hane Chiyo must become my Lieutenant. I must train her to be a qualified successor.

Chapter 246: Let's Work, Grim Reapers!

Meanwhile, Hane Hane Chiyo was taking a bath in her large bathroom in the sweltering heat.

The Hane Hane Family was originally a high-ranking noble family in Seireitei, but their population had dwindled, and by this generation, only she remained.

In addition, since the mansion had been uninhabited for a long time, the bathroom was very dirty, with a thick layer of dust on the floor. Hane Hane Chiyo specially asked a few friends to clean the bathroom.

Then add clean water and happily soak in it.

Taking a refreshing cold shower in this sweltering weather feels absolutely wonderful!

Just as Hane Hane Chiyo was immersed in happiness, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.

Hane Hane Chiyo was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her private parts with her hands.

"Yamabuki... why are you in here again? Don't you know it's extremely rude to suddenly barge in while a lady is taking a bath? I'm going to tell on you!" Hane Hane Chiyo pouted angrily.

Yamabuki Chidori reached out and grabbed her by the neck, pulling her directly out of the bathtub.

"Hurry up and get dressed, come with me to report for duty," Yamabuki Chidori said without changing her expression.

Hane Hane Chiyo reached out and grabbed the wooden basin, smashing it hard against his head. However, Yamabuki Chidori's head was too hard, and in the end, even the wooden basin was smashed with a hole.

"Go with you to report for duty? You're not going to assign me to a very dangerous position, are you?" Hane Hane Chiyo asked warily. She knew better than anyone how treacherous Yamabuki Chidori was.

She just wanted to live a carefree life, earning double the salary and living a leisurely existence. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Yamabuki Chidori didn't give her a chance to retort, "If you don't get dressed properly, I'll just drag you out onto the street. Although I'm not interested in your figure, I think there are still a lot of lolicon people in this world."

"Let go! Let go! Let go!" Hane Hane Chiyo broke free from Yamabuki Chidori's clutches and angrily put on her clothes.

Seriously, can't you be a little gentler with girls?

After getting dressed, Hane Hane Chiyo asked, "Where are we going?"

"The Kidō Corps." Yamabuki Chidori said with a cold face.

Never heard of it.

"Of course you haven't heard of it. It's a newly established organization composed of a group of experts who use the Kidō. I've already signed you up," said Yamabuki Chidori.

Hane Hane Chiyo, like a kitten whose fur had been ruffled by being petted, retorted, "Why did you sign me up? I have personal freedom! Do you believe I'll complain to the Captain Commander?"

"Letters of complaint to the Captain Commander must first reach me. Who here dares to accuse me?" Yamabuki Chidori glanced at the little girl out of the corner of her eye.

"Your fur isn't fully grown yet, let's wait until you're a bit older!" Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

"How do you know I didn't grow...? What were you staring at just now?!" Hane Hane Chiyo shouted, her face flushed.

"Don't waste time here. Let's go. From today onwards, you will be the Lieutenant of the Kidō Corps. Originally, I wanted to recommend you to be the Captain, but the Captain Commander was not confident in your abilities. So I will remain as the Captain of the Kidō Corps. Once you are capable enough, I will let you take the Captain's position," said Yamabuki Chidori.

Hane Hane Chiyo was still sulking as she followed Yamabuki Chidori to the First Division Barracks.

The Captain Commander had already given advance notice, separating the members from each squad who were most skilled in Kidō) to form a new team.

What most people don't know is that the most important task for the Kidō Corps right now is not to go to the battlefield, but to create the latest Shinigami Uniform.

As the manager of the Genji Academy, Yamabuki Chidori is very familiar with the abilities of each member, so when she arrives at a new squad, she doesn't hesitate and immediately calls out the group of people who are skilled in Kidō.

Many team members were reluctant to leave their squad, after all, they had spent a lot of time with their friends and had developed some affection for them.

It took a whole day for Yamabuki Chidori to select two hundred people from the Thirteenth Division, all of whom were experts in Kidō, to form the first generation of Kidō Corps.

These two hundred people were taken to the clothing factory of Yamabuki Chidori. Their task was simple: to work day and night with Shūtara Senjumaru to manufacture new Shinigami Uniform.

Upon receiving this mission, the expressions on the faces of the two hundred team members were somewhat strange.

They thought they were about to make something of themselves, but to their utter surprise, they ended up as factory workers.

"Hane Hane Chiyo, as the Lieutenant, you are in full charge while I am away. Contact me only when things get beyond your capabilities," Yamabuki Chidori said.

The Captain Commander can assign tasks to me, and I can assign tasks to others as well; ultimately, it's all about one level superseding another.

Hmph, how could I not understand such a simple principle?

And so, the two hundred members of the Kidō Corps began working day and night, putting in extra hours to prepare the Shinigami Uniform for all of them before the great battle.

The first batch of new Shinigami Uniform was completed three days later and distributed to the Captain and Seated Officer.

Yamabuki Chidori began explaining the function of the New Shinigami Uniform.

"The new Shinigami Uniform merges with the wearer's own Reiatsu, forming a powerful protective barrier. The strength of this barrier is directly related to the wearer's Reiatsu. According to my tests, the Shinigami Uniform's shield can withstand three attacks from people of the same level. After that, the built-in Kidō-type will break down, requiring the wearer to repair it with their own Reiatsu." After Yamabuki Chidori finished explaining the Shinigami Uniform's abilities, the Captain couldn't wait to change into their new clothes.

What does it mean to be able to withstand three attacks from an enemy of the same level?

In a battle between experts, life and death hang in the balance, and skilled players can make the most of these three shields.

After the Special Captain Commander puts on the Shinigami Uniform, the shield's strength is so high that even five or six attacks from an ordinary Captain might not be enough to break through his defense.

"The team will provide you with as much support as possible, and produce as many Shinigami Uniform as possible before the great battle begins." The Captain Commander and the other Captain have always believed that they should strongly support Yamabuki Chidori's production of Shinigami Uniform.

Yamabuki Chidori took a deep breath. Everything was ready, but the enemy was coming. She didn't know what the outcome of this Blood War would be.

The entire Seireitei has entered a state of preparedness, awaiting the arrival of a powerful enemy.

Chapter 247: Summer Turns to Autumn and the King's Long Johns

Summer has passed and autumn has arrived. In the blink of an eye, the hot summer has gone by and the refreshing autumn has come.

The swimwear craze is gradually subsiding as temperatures drop.

Yamabuki Chidori is off work today. He's drinking tea in his shop, watching the Grim Reapers come and go outside with a smile on his face.

It's already the end of October.

With only three months left until the Blood War prophesied by the Soul King, Yamabuki Chidori led a group to search Hueco Mundo, but unfortunately found nothing. The Quincy's Wandenreich seemed to have vanished from the world.

The latest Shinigami Uniform have also been put into use. The best way to train soldiers is through actual combat, so sending these Shinigami members directly to Hueco Mundo for training will greatly improve their combat skills.
