Silver Blood Clot in Hand-What Will You Do a Thousand Years From Now? / Jūshirō Ukitake (Childhood Edition)
"Your mother wants to hear your opinion. Everything I've done is for your own good, but I won't use that as a reason to restrict you. As long as you have your own ideas, and your ideas are correct, your mother will definitely support you!" Ishida Oboro said.
Ishida Aoi's eyes lit up; he had originally thought his mother would definitely scold him.
But when it came to the reason, Ishida Aoi hesitated and stammered. Ishida Oboro didn't press him, but just listened to his son's words with a smile.
Children are independent individuals separate from their parents. Many parents in this world believe that their children must follow the path they have chosen for them, without considering the children's own thoughts and opinions. Over time, parents and children become like enemies.
"Um... Kyoko, Kyoko's figure looks like she'll have a smooth delivery, she'll definitely be able to give me lots of kids!" Ishida Aoi blurted out, blushing.
Ishida Oboro finally couldn't hold back anymore, and burst into laughter, pounding the ground with one hand. She probably never expected her son to be this kind of person!
However, the thought of holding her grandson filled Ishida Oboro with a radiant glow of happiness, "Then... Mom, did you cancel your marriage?"
"No, if I really only marry a fishmonger's daughter, everyone will gossip about the Ishida Family. I can't bear to see my parents humiliated because of my choice," Ishida Aoi said righteously. "So I want both!"
Ishida Oboro stared in shock, her mouth agape.
The smile didn't disappear; it simply moved to Bard's face.
"Hahahaha! Good lad! You truly are my son, this choice gets full marks!" Bard laughed heartily.
Ishida Oboro gave her husband a cold snort, "You look so envious, don't you?"
Bard's laughter stopped abruptly.
"No... how could that be... darling, having you as my only love in this life is enough. My love for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks..."
Listening to her parents exchanging cheesy, mushy sweet nothings, Ishida Aoi shuddered. Could you two possibly stop being so cheesy?
"Ahem!" The family of three sat down together and began to address the topic they had just discussed.
"Mom thinks it's better for a girl to be Isshin!" Ishida Oboro offered her analysis from her perspective. After all, psychologically speaking, no girl wants to share her lover with another woman.
"Ahem, but Xiao Kui genuinely likes those two girls. If you ask me, marry them both. Anyway, our family is rich. Let alone marrying two, even ten or eight of them, your dad would support you!" Bard was completely enjoying the drama. "Besides, our family is declining, and you're willing to help the family expand. That's definitely a good thing!"
Although Ishida Oboro still had a smile on her face, she had already reached out and pinched the soft flesh of her husband's waist, rotating him 360 degrees.
How can there be such an unreliable father in the world? You're setting a bad example for our son!
"In short, Dad absolutely supports your choice." Bard said happily. My son is capable, of course I'm happy!
Ishida Oboro sighed deeply. Truly, father and son! It seems I'll have to be even stricter with Bard from now on!
To prevent him from going out drinking with those young girls.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ishida Aoi married two lovely wives who gave birth to six children for him over five years, and the family lived happily together.
Ishida Aki married a noblewoman, but he was not happy. His marriage was purely political and there was little affection between them. Although they had two sons in the five years that followed, their relationship did not improve. In fact, he felt that life was becoming increasingly difficult.
He couldn't understand why, since he had always been the better one, his Younger Brother seemed much happier than him now.
Moreover, no matter what he did, his father and mother would always advise him, hoping he would think twice before acting.
But no matter what her Younger Brother wanted to do, her parents supported him unconditionally.
Gradually, he wanted to escape his parents' shadow and live far away. Finally, one day at the dinner table, he brought up this idea.
Ishida Oboro and Bard were slightly taken aback upon hearing the news, and then both fell silent.
In the end, however, the couple respected their son's opinion and prepared a large amount of wealth for Ishida Aki, enough for the family to live on for a lifetime even if they did nothing.
Later, Ishida Aki moved to a city forty kilometers away and built a new home, which became a branch of the Ishida Family.
Ishida Aoi naturally inherited all of her parents' property.
Five years later, a plague broke out in the city, and nine out of ten houses in the vast Kyoto were deserted.
Ishida Aoi also contracted the plague, and the couple were at a loss. But miraculously, after one night, Ishida Aoi's condition completely improved.
Even the grandchildren who had contracted the plague recovered overnight. Everyone else thought it was a blessing from heaven, but only the Ishida couple knew that there was definitely something fishy going on!
However, no clues were found, and the matter was eventually dropped.
The peaceful days passed by one by one!
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye!
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Silver Thrombosis Acquired, How Will You Respond a Thousand Years Later?
More than thirty years later, Ishida Oboro, who was over seventy years old, passed away peacefully in his sleep.
In his later years, Ishida Oboro hesitated for a long time before finally writing down his experiences from his youth. He also warned his descendants that if the Shinigami and Quincy ever went to war, they should never get involved on either side, because neither side was a good thing.
Bard died the following year.
Ishida Aoi has also entered her fifties, and has a large family of children and grandchildren.
He lived a smooth and successful life. When he was forty, he married a sixteen-year-old woman, and the following year, this young wife gave birth to a pair of lovely twins.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ishida Aoi has entered his seventies, and he vaguely feels that his days are numbered.
Today, Yamabuki Chidori, who hadn't visited him for almost ten years, suddenly appeared before him.
Yamabuki Chidori still looks like a young boy, but the temperament she exudes due to the passage of time is quite different from that of a boy she once was.
For the past seventy years, he and the Captain Commander have worked together to forcibly suppress the nobles, bringing unprecedented peace and prosperity to the Soul Society.
All troublemakers had to cower before these two, and perhaps one day when they were gone, these troublemaking nobles would dare to stand up.
"It's been ten years! I didn't expect you to have aged so much!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile as she looked at Ishida Aoi.
Holding a cup of hot tea, Ishida Aoi smiled as she watched the snowflakes fall from the sky, "Seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye. Meeting you feels like it was just yesterday. By the way, Yamabuki -nii, what brings you here to see me?"
Yamabuki Chidori took a sip of tea. "Have you forgotten what my job is?"
Ishida Aoi's hands trembled slightly.
grim Reaper.
The job of a Shinigami is to guide souls into the Soul Society; in other words, their own time is coming to an end.
"Having lived to this age, it doesn't matter anymore." Ishida Aoi accepted her death with equanimity.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment. After a brief pause, Ishida Aoi suddenly asked, "About that war seventy years ago... Brother Yamabuki, you participated in it personally, didn't you? I saw your name mentioned in my mother's notebook."
"Yes! We were enemies back then." Yamabuki Chidori laughed. "Even after the war ended, I kept monitoring their movements until I was sure they only wanted to live as ordinary people before I lifted the surveillance. I never expected to meet you! It's all fate!"
"What a coincidence! How wonderful! By the way, how much time do I have left? Is it enough for me to say goodbye to my family?" Ishida Aoi asked.
"Enough, more than enough. It's enough to not only say goodbye, but also to host a banquet for myself!" said Yamabuki Chidori.
Over the years, Ishida Aoi had harbored suspicions that Yamabuki Chidori might have ulterior motives for approaching him, but he chose to keep these questions to himself until his death.
Life is like the first time we met.
He took care of himself his whole life, the Ishida Family was incredibly wealthy, and he had many children and grandchildren. No matter what conspiracy Yamabuki Chidori was ultimately involved in, this compensation was already more than enough.
Ishida Aoi calmly wrote her will, then placed it on the table, facing her death with equanimity.
Yamabuki Chidori didn't stand on ceremony with him. What was the ultimate goal of his seventy-year plan? Wasn't it to obtain the Silver Thrombosis? After seventy years of honing his skills, he wouldn't act on emotion like he did when he was younger!
White tentacles shot out from his hands, piercing through Ishida Aoi's body and draining all the power from him.
Subsequently, Yamabuki Chidori brought Ishida Aoi's body back to Soul Society and Shikai it. Sure enough, this time they found a small Silver Thrombosis in his heart, which further confirmed Yamabuki Chidori's idea.
My experiment was a success.
Next, he will vigorously support the Ishida Family of this lineage, ensuring they have no worries about food and clothing and many children and grandchildren. After all, every person has a small Silver Thrombosis condensed in their heart, and he still has more than nine hundred years to accumulate enough Silver Thrombosis to forge not only a small arrowhead, but even a Green Dragon Crescent Blade for himself.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, the Ishida Family will never decline! Go in peace!" Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.
Because in this world, power is concentrated in the human soul, so when Ishida Aoi's power was drained, her agility was also devoured. Of course, this is also the fate of everyone in the Ishida Family, including Miki.
After the experiment was successful, Yamabuki Chidori returned home humming a little tune. Unohana had already prepared dinner; the two of them would be having fish hot pot that night.
"Why are you so happy today? Did you get a raise?" Unohana said with a smile.
"If I get a raise, shouldn't you be the one who's happy? Anyway, no matter how much I offer, it'll all end up in your hands!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.
Over the past seventy years, Yamabuki Chidori has begun to vigorously develop her business. Her clothing store has now become a chain store, with Hane Hane Chiyo and Saitō Fubōfu a branch. Their monthly income even far exceeds that of the Captain.
After vigorously developing the clothing industry, Yamabuki Chidori turned her attention to the food industry.
Hot pot, barbecue, Chinese food, Western food, dessert shops, ramen restaurants—you name it, they have it.
The food industry is almost entirely monopolized by Yamabuki Chidori.
Moreover, after seventy years of sweeping, the security in Rukongai has become almost unbelievably good. Although petty theft still occurs from time to time, there haven't been large-scale robberies or bandits for ten years. Ordinary people's lives have become stable, and they naturally have some extra money in their hands.
What to do after you have money?
Of course, one should enjoy life within their means, eating better food and wearing better clothes.
However, the food brings huge profits to Yamabuki Chidori every year, and also solves a lot of employment problems, providing jobs for many idle people so they don't have to wander the streets and cause trouble.
"Don't forget it's routine patrol tomorrow, and you, as the Lieutenant, have to come too." Unohana carefully removed the fish bones, lightly dipped the fish in sesame oil, and handed it over. "Open your mouth!"
Yamabuki Chidori reached out and touched Unohana's forehead. "Are you running a fever? We're an old married couple, why are you still being so mushy?"
"Never mind that, open your mouth!"
"Based on my understanding of you, this shouldn't be ordinary sesame oil, right? Could it be high-purity chili oil that was refined recently? This stuff is specially made to cater to perverts who like extremely spicy food!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at Unohana with a wary expression.
"Fine, don't eat it then!" Unohana happily put the fish into her mouth.
Judging from the beads of sweat dripping from Unohana's forehead, this stuff is definitely at the Grim Reaper level of spiciness. We've been together for so many years, how could I not know you?
Chapter 28: Jūshirō Ukitake (Childhood Version)
After the great war seventy years ago, the Soul Society entered a period of unprecedented peace.
About fifty or sixty years ago, Unohana realized that she was living too comfortably and leisurely, which led to weight gain, so much so that she had to control her food intake to lose weight.
Many times, Unohana even thought that the life she lived on the edge a hundred years ago was a dream. At that time, she never imagined that she would be so happy one day!
The two of them were eating when there was a knock on the door.
"Is the Chief Strategist in?" came a gentle woman's voice.
The voice sounded unfamiliar; Yamabuki Chidori had never heard it before.
"Why are there guests at this hour?" Yamabuki Chidori was somewhat surprised. Over the years, he had successfully freed himself from the position of a corporate slave by cultivating his Staff Department. In addition, there was nothing worth his concern in peacetime, and his decisions were only useful in very rare cases.
When Yamabuki Chidori went to open the door, she found a very beautiful silver-haired woman standing outside. She was wearing a traditional Kimono, and judging from her hairstyle and bun, she was a married woman. She had a worried look on her face, and bowed slightly to Yamabuki Chidori when she saw her.
"I'm so sorry to bother you at this time! But I'm really desperate, please save this child!" The silver-haired woman put a little boy down from her back. The little boy had the same hair color as his mother and had a very delicate face. Judging from his appearance, he was only three or four years old. His eyes were tightly closed, and he was in great pain.
"Please, please save this child! You are the best doctor in Soul Society, only you can save this child!" the silver-haired woman sobbed uncontrollably.
Are you here seeking medical treatment?
Yamabuki Chidori was somewhat surprised. Although he was a skilled doctor, being a doctor was not his profession. After all, the best doctor in Seireitei was Tenjirō Kirinji.
Looking at the young woman crying with tears streaming down her face, Yamabuki Chidori sighed softly, "The hearts of parents are all the same."
"It's still snowing outside, come in and let's talk." Yamabuki Chidori invited the mother and son into the living room.
Unohana had already cleared the table.
For decades, Unohana has been studying medicine under Yamabuki Chidori. In addition, she has a great understanding of the human body, so she learns art exceptionally quickly. In terms of treatment skills, Unohana is now second only to Yamabuki Chidori and Tenjirō Kirinji.
After understanding the cause and effect, Unohana checked the child's physical condition and frowned.
"What's the child's name?" Unohana asked.
The silver-haired woman wiped away her tears with a handkerchief as she said, "This child is named Jūshirō Ukitake. My husband is a minor Low-Ranking Noble, but if the Chief Strategist can save my child's life, I will repay you even if it means going bankrupt!"
Yamabuki Chidori's eyes changed slightly. Jūshirō Ukitake?
Isn't this the future Captain of the Thirteenth Division?
No wonder Jūshirō Ukitake was always frail and sickly; he was like this since childhood.
Yamabuki Chidori looked at Unohana; Unohana's diagnostic skills were in no way inferior to his.
At this moment, three-year-old Ukitake was unusually pale, breathing weakly, and lying on his mother's lap with a pained expression.
"This child's problem wasn't caused later in life; it probably occurred during your pregnancy, right?" Unohana asked.
The silver-haired woman nodded vigorously, then cried, "I was attacked by a Hollow while I was pregnant. Although I didn't die, I was severely injured. This child was born extremely weak and has been in pain almost every day. Actually... I've already seen Dr. Tenjirō Kirinji, but he said there's nothing he can do. This kind of congenital deficiency means I can only wait to die!"
At this point, the silver-haired woman hugged Ukitake and couldn't help but cry.
