It's All About Psychological Warfare / Ginrei Kuchiki vs. Yamabuki Deitō

"Well? Any information about your walk?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked.

"Of course not," Yamabuki Chidori said calmly, "Because I didn't spread any information at all."

Kuchiki Ginrei froze, then suddenly exploded, grabbing Yamabuki Chidori's neck tightly with both hands. "You tricked me! Do you know how I survived this whole day? I was starving! In the end, the girl at the teahouse took pity on me and gave me half a piece of leftover pastry. I felt like dying right then and there, and you tricked me! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

"Cough cough cough! You little brat, you're going all out! Let go of me right now, or I won't be polite!" Yamabuki Chidori wanted to laugh as she looked at the defenseless Kuchiki Ginrei, if only her neck hadn't been being choked.

The two then began to wrestle.

It's fortunate that it's already late and only the two of them are left in the restaurant, otherwise news of the Kuchiki Clan head and the chief of Gotei 13 fighting Chief Strategist public would be all over the place tomorrow.

"Hey, are you two kids? You'll have to pay for the things you break," Kirimaru Tsukishima said helplessly to the two grown men.

At this moment, Yamabuki Chidori had gained the upper hand, pressing Kuchiki Ginrei hard to the ground. Kuchiki Ginrei was not to be outdone, and stretched out her finger to stab Yamabuki Chidori's nostril.

After being Kirimaru Tsukishima, Yamabuki Chidori and Kuchiki Ginrei sat together and ate their meal obediently.

Kuchiki Ginrei must have been starving, because everything tasted delicious to her.

"So, you're not lying to me? You really are one of the Gotei 13?" Kirimaru Tsukishima looked at Yamabuki Chidori in surprise.

"And he's a very unreliable person," Kuchiki Ginrei interjected.

Yamabuki Chidori sneered inwardly, "Kid, this is only the first day of the thirty-day period. Let's see how I deal with you in the remaining twenty-nine days."

"It's true that I invited you to join the Gotei 13. Don't you feel your Reiatsu is very strong?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Kirimaru Tsukishima shook his head. "What is Reiatsu? I have absolutely no idea!"

Yamabuki Chidori patiently began to explain from the beginning.

Without systematic training, most people are unaware that their Reiatsu is actually very strong. For example, Toshiro lives with his Toshiro, but the Reiatsu he unconsciously emits at night can turn the room into an icehouse, making his grandmother shiver.

"Your Reiatsu is very strong. Even without systematic training, you've already reached the Lieutenant-level. With a little time, reaching Captain-level Reiatsu won't be a problem," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Kuchiki Ginrei stared in astonishment at the voluptuous and beautiful girl before her. Captain-level! That's the highest level!

"But... if I go with you to the Gotei 13, what will happen to my restaurant?" Kirimaru Tsukishima with a troubled expression.

Yamabuki Chidori laughed and said, "Young lady, do you know what financing is?"

Chapter 74: It's all about psychological warfare

"I own quite a few restaurants. How about this? I'll invest in your restaurant. While you're working, I'll fund its operation. When you're on vacation, you can still come back and cook. What do you say?" Yamabuki Chidori said. "I can give you special permission to work five days and rest five days, only fifteen working days a month. You can run the restaurant on the other fifteen days. Don't miss this opportunity!"

"Five days on, five days off? How can you be so biased? I don't even get that kind of treatment!" Kuchiki Ginrei exclaimed.

Yamabuki Chidori turned around with a cold expression. "She's a beauty, but are you? Why don't you go to Thailand and get some surgery? Something to turn you into a fair-skinned, beautiful girl, and I'll give you fifteen days off every month."

Kuchiki Ginrei could only obediently shut her mouth.

"Besides, the benefits of the Gotei 13 are excellent; it's practically a loving family. I guarantee you'll love it there." Yamabuki Chidori is a professional at making empty promises; how many members of the original Gotei 13 were lured in by him?

Kirimaru Tsukishima is still a young girl at heart, and she's slowly starting to fall for him.

"I'll make a few more dishes, then we can sit down and talk slowly!" Kirimaru Tsukishima ran to the kitchen and started cooking.

Kuchiki Ginrei asked softly, "You seem to care a lot about her?"

"Because I have a feeling that she will achieve great things in the future, at least more than you!" Yamabuki Chidori said.

Kuchiki Ginrei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How did the First Gotei 13 Captain of the Gotei 13 deal with this psychopath?

When Yamabuki Chidori recalled the process of forming the Gotei 13, tears welled up in her eyes!

At that time, I was very weak, and I would get beaten up no matter who I encountered.

After returning with several more delicious dishes, Kirimaru Tsukishima suddenly noticed Kuchiki Ginrei the girl's body was even slimmer than before.

"What's going on?" Kuchiki Ginrei, somewhat shocked.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Kiryu can channel his Reiatsu into the food, which helps people recover their strength quickly and also slightly increases their Reiatsu. Hurry up and eat more!" Yamabuki Chidori said.

Kuchiki Ginrei had never encountered such a strange person before, someone who could actually infuse Reiatsu into dishes?

At the same time, your body shape will also change.

"I'd like to think about it some more. Could you give me a little time?" asked Kirimaru Tsukishima.

"Of course, no problem. We're not bandits. Give me your answer when you've thought it through. I'll write you a letter of recommendation. If you've made up your mind, just take this letter to Seireitei and find me." Yamabuki Chidori produced a letter of recommendation as if by magic and handed it over.

"When did you finish writing this?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked in surprise.

"Trade secrets," Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to leave.

"You must get a good rest tonight, tomorrow's training will be even more arduous," Yamabuki Chidori said.

"You're not going to play tricks on me like you did today, are you?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked.

Yamabuki Chidori reached out and poked his head. "This is a human brain, not a kiwi. Even if it's your boss's order, you have to distinguish right from wrong. You're supposed to be able to think independently, not a machine, understand? Oh, and no eating from tonight until tomorrow morning, get it?"

Kuchiki Ginrei couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You think you can just say you won't eat it and then you won't?"

After returning home, Kuchiki Ginrei Kuchiki Ginrei lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Although she hadn't done any physical labor that day, she was mentally exhausted, and she slept soundly in her own bed.

Little did he know, a malevolent figure was silently approaching him.

Yamabuki Chidori held a rolling pin in her hand, coldly staring at Kuchiki Ginrei.

"She's sleeping so soundly, without a hint of unease." Yamabuki Chidori noticed that Kuchiki Ginrei was lacking in this respect.

A true expert can retaliate instantly even if ambushed while sleeping. As for this Kuchiki Ginrei in front of her, Yamabuki Chidori swung the rolling pin in her hand and hit him hard on the forehead.

"Ouch... ouch ouch ouch ouch!!! Who is it?" Kuchiki Ginrei roared.

Then I saw Yamabuki Chidori standing coldly in front of the bed.

"What are you going to do now?" Kuchiki Ginrei was already a little afraid of Yamabuki Chidori.

"If I were an assassin, you would have died ten times over. You clearly have Captain-level Reiatsu, yet your reaction is so slow!" Yamabuki Chidori said coldly, "I unleashed killing intent the moment I attacked, and you didn't even sense it? And you were still fast asleep? For the next month, I will randomly ambush you while you sleep. If you can't avoid it, you won't be sleeping at night!" After saying that, Yamabuki Chidori disappeared like a ghost.

On the surface, Soul Society has returned to peace, but while the external enemies have disappeared, the greatest enemy lies within.

The infighting among the nobles will not end, and sending assassins to kill each other is even more common. If the Captain the Sixth Division of the Gotei 13 were to die from an assassination, it would be an absolute joke.

Therefore, we must be extremely vigilant.

As the head of the Kuchiki Clan, he was at the heart of the struggle.

Kuchiki Ginrei covered her head, grimacing, but this time she dared not utter a single word of rebuttal.

For most of the rest of the night, Kuchiki Ginrei didn't dare to close her eyes, and by the next day, she had developed huge panda eyes.

Of course, he didn't know that after Yamabuki Chidori Kerato, he went straight home and cuddled his wife to sleep.

The next day, Kuchiki Ginrei ate something and came to the Staff Department again.

He won't make the same mistake again.

Yamabuki Chidori was reviewing some documents Kuchiki Ginrei turned her head slightly and saw that they were files on Death Row Inmates.

Where there is organization, there will be laws; and where there are laws, there will be people who break them.

"Didn't you find out yesterday that a Grim Reaper was killing a living person? Do you want to know the identities of those Grim Reapers?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Kuchiki Ginrei nodded.

"Those were Shinigami loyal to the Tsunayashiro Clan." Yamabuki Chidori sneered. "Those who were killed were not ordinary people either, but Fullbringer."

"Fullbring???" Kuchiki Ginrei had never heard of this term before.

"However, no matter what their reasons are, they have violated the laws of Soul Society and must be executed." Yamabuki Chidori handed the stack of documents in her hand to Kuchiki Ginrei: "I plan to have you personally escort them! You will be the one to kill these traitors! As the head of the Kuchiki Clan, you should be fine with it, right?"

Kill!

Kuchiki Ginrei killed many Hollows during her training, but she never turned her blade on a Shinigami or a human.

In an instant, his vigilance reached its peak.

"By the way, don't vomit when you kill someone, or the Kuchiki Clan will lose face big time. But I reminded you last night, didn't I? Don't eat anything this morning!" Yamabuki Chidori smiled kindly.

Chapter 75: Kuchiki Ginrei vs. Yamabuki Chidori

Not everyone can remain as calm as Kenpachi Zaraki or Retsu Unohana when they kill someone.

Most people experience physical discomfort when they kill for the first time.

As the head of the Kuchiki Clan, Kuchiki Ginrei was never required to do such dirty work. When he heard that he was to be an executioner, his face turned pale.

"Excuse me... what's the point of doing this?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked softly.

"How can you Captain if you don't even dare to kill people? I really should send you to Gen'en Kinra for some advanced training." Yamabuki Chidori Kichitaka sighed. Back when the Wandenreich invaded, a female Quincy fell into Gen'en Kinra's hands.

It is said that it went through the Eighteen-Layer Hell and was tortured until it was just a lump of flesh, yet it still survived!

"Our enemies aren't just virtual; sometimes there might be civil war. That's when people's ability to kill each other really comes to the fore. So, is it going to work or not? Give me a straight answer," said Yamabuki Chidori.

"Alright!" Despite her physical discomfort, Kuchiki Ginrei picked up her sword and headed towards the execution ground.

"Wait a minute, we're not using knives to execute Death Row Inmates now, we're using hammers." Yamabuki Chidori gave him a hammer the size of a fist. "Smash it hard on the Death Row Inmates's head, it's very stress-relieving!"

Kuchiki Ginrei walked away, her face pale, carrying the hammer.

After Kuchiki Ginrei left, Yamabuki Chidori's expression was somewhat intriguing as he looked at the documents in his hand.

So many Fullbringer have been attacked.

Ultimately, the murders all pointed to one family: the Tsunayashiro Clan.

These Grim Reapers are all loyal to the Tsunayashiro Clan.

The purpose of killing these sorcerers is simple: to seize the fragments of the Soul King within them.

However, these things were done very discreetly, and the Grim Reapers who were being used didn't even know who their superiors were, nor could they find any evidence against the Tsunayashiro Clan.

"I'd like to see what kind of mess you've got up your sleeve," Yamabuki Chidori sneered.

About thirty minutes later, Kuchiki Ginrei returned, her face ashen, carrying the bloodstained hammer in her hand.

"How are you feeling?" Yamabuki Chidori asked, holding a bowl and eating breakfast.

"I... I might not be able to eat anything for the next three days. What's in your bowl?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked.

"Tofu pudding! Want a bowl?" Yamabuki Chidori placed the bowl on the table. The white tofu pudding paired with bright red chili peppers instantly reminded Kuchiki Ginrei of the shattered skulls on the execution ground. In the end, she couldn't resist and ran out, covering her mouth.

"Young people are just young! They can't even handle this little bit of stimulation. They have a long road ahead of them," Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

Kuchiki Ginrei vomited up everything she had eaten that morning, and her face looked even worse.

But his gaze gradually hardened.

Many things can be overcome once you get past that initial hurdle.

Like a murderer, killing one person means death, killing two people means death too. Since the shackles have already been broken, it's better to kill them all quickly.

Kuchiki Ginrei has given up entirely; she doesn't care what happens next.

"I'm hungry, give me a bowl of your tofu pudding!" said Kuchiki Ginrei.

Yamabuki Chidori wasn't stingy with the food and served him a bowl of fresh tofu pudding.

Kuchiki Ginrei took a deep breath, and it took a lot of courage for her to put the spoon in her mouth. It tasted pretty good!

"You adapted quite quickly, very good." Yamabuki Chidori rarely praised him like this, "Starting tomorrow, we'll go into the mountains to complete the final training. Let me test the power of your Bankai."

Kuchiki Ginrei didn't say a word.

After eating, he returned to his post and began assisting Saitō Fubōfu.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; he still has a long way to go.

Early the next morning, Kuchiki Ginrei and Yamabuki Chidori arrived in the deep mountains in the distance.

"The training ahead is simple. Ever played cat and mouse? You're the mouse. I'll give you one hour to escape. After that, I'll be hunting you down in the mountains. You'll have to endure this for twenty-seven days. If I catch you, I won't kill you, but I'll certainly give you a beating to vent my anger. Also, you'll have to take care of your own food, water, and lodging. The area is these mountains, which span several hundred miles. Now, the final training begins," said Yamabuki Chidori.

Kuchiki Ginrei nodded vigorously, then turned and disappeared into the deep mountains.

Finally, we had a relatively normal training session.

Although the Chief Strategist is very strong, he is only the Captain of the 11th Division. Now we are both Captain, so even if he is stronger than me, he shouldn't be too much weaker.
