The Shiba Clan has never been afraid of danger.
There are always some principles in their hearts that are more important than life itself.
The Kaien is like this, and so is the Kūkaku.
If Shiraishi is willing to treat her as a partner and be honest with her, then she will naturally risk her life to accompany her, face danger together, never abandon her, never give up on her, and live and die together until the very last moment.
If you're trying to hide it, then I'm afraid I can't keep you company.
Kūkaku Shiba would not give her life for someone she doesn't trust; she's not that cheap.
"It's nothing."
Shiraishi still says the same thing, nothing has changed.
"Then leave my house!" Kūkaku Shiba voice, turning around and facing away from him.
"I'm sorry." A hint of helplessness flashed across Shiraishi's face. To explain clearly, he would have to delve into how he knew Aizen a cloak of hidden Reiatsu.
Then I need to explain how I knew the other party was conducting Hollowfication Experiment.
Even if he could make up lies to get by about these things, the last question was something he absolutely couldn't avoid.
They couldn't defeat Aizen.
Even disregarding the abilities of Kyōka Suigetsu, Aizen could easily defeat Kūkaku with just a Shunpo followed by a basic attack.
At most, he could withstand two cuts.
This isn't him being self-deprecating; the data speaks for itself.
His attribute panel shows a Reiatsu pressure of 6,200, meaning that his full-force strike deals 6,200 damage based on Reiatsu.
In addition, the Zanpakuto's Infinity ability is a probability-based critical hit; once it lands, the attack power doubles.
The amplification of Yasuo's four skills, and the passive effect of Way of the Wanderer.
Taking all these factors into account, his current highest attack power can reach over 10,000 points of Reiatsu in a single strike.
The problem is that these extra buffs need to be sustained for a while before they become effective.
If he gets instantly killed upon meeting someone, he won't even be able to use two of his skills, let alone the Infinity probability of critical hits.
According to his estimation, he would need to reach Hero Level 16 to surpass the Reiatsu pressure of the Shinigami Aizen.
His Reiatsu increase is based on the experience gained from his hero level.
For example, if it takes 1350 experience points to go from level nine to level ten, then his Reiatsu will increase by 1350 after leveling up. And so on, level sixteen should be enough to deal with Death Blue.
Before that, you shouldn't provoke Aizen. Since you don't know who's behind this, the best course of action is to honestly level up.
As for the proposal to unite with others to deal with Aizen, that's out of the question.
How could a Seireitei wanted by the Stealth Force possibly try to frame a dutiful Fifth Division?
"Thank you for your hospitality last night. I will definitely repay your kindness of a meal and a place to stay in the future."
"Well."
Kūkaku Shiba sighed softly, her heart softening. She turned around, watching his departing figure, and called out, "Where are you planning to go?"
Go with the wind.
Shiraishi spoke of being carefree, but in reality, he had no destination in mind. Little did he know that he would be leaving the Shiba Clan so soon.
What should we do next?
He wasn't sure; he was just taking it one step at a time.
Kūkaku Shiba crossed his arms and said, "There's a Odd Jobs Stone Village in the West District 4. The owner is named Ichirō Yagyū. They have a wide range of businesses. Go there and ask; you might find the place you're looking for."
"Yes, thank you." Shiraishi nodded, deciding to take her advice and go check out the Odd Jobs.
"Your clothes are too conspicuous. I have one of my older brother's casual clothes for you to wear."
"No need, I'm not changing these clothes."
Shiraishi refused her offer. This outfit was a Shikai of the Zanpakuto Infinity, resembling Yasuo's Prestige skin, possessing self-repair capabilities and adding cool, exclusive golden effects to his skills.
In addition, it can increase the probability of critical hits slightly, and even that little bit is enough for him not to replace it.
At crucial moments, this small chance could very well result in a critical hit, ending the battle in an instant and saving his life.
"Alright, if you head north from here, you'll reach Stone Village. Ichirō Yagyū's house is opposite the tiled house."
"Until we meet again someday." Shiraishi waved his hand, turned around, and used Steel Tempest to leave.
Rushing across the vast plains, the brown rock walls loomed large before us, obscuring the entire sky.
Just before the impact, he pushed off with both feet, leaping directly from the ground like a roc spreading its wings, soaring over the mountain peak.
The magnificent landscape of West District 4 comes into view, with layered mountains, lush forests, and crisscrossing dirt roads, creating a beautiful scene resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Shiraishi kicked off the air and used the Steel Tempest again, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, landing on another mountain peak without traveling too far.
Using mountains and rivers as springboards and jumping around at will is quite an interesting thing.
With nothing else to do, he didn't mind playing a little longer.
Time passed slowly, and the sunlight grew somewhat hot. He settled in the shade of a tree, took off his leather jacket, white short-sleeved shirt, crossbody bag, and trousers.
They didn't even spare the sneakers and socks.
He was only wearing his underwear.
The only reason was because there was a circular lake in front of us, surrounded by mountains, and the sunlight made the lake surface sparkle.
It would be a real shame not to take a swim in such a beautiful lake.
Not wanting to leave any regrets, he jumped up the tree, then leaped down. The cool lake water caressed his skin, and he dove deep, swallowing quite a bit of water.
The lake water in Soul Society is drinkable and requires no filtration.
Those souls without Spiritual Power survive by drinking water.
In some of the less popular "Outer Rukongai, water is used directly as a commodity and a form of currency.
People often fight over the right to use a river, which is far less desirable than the situation in the more prominent Rukongai in the West District 4).
It has lakes, mountains, and everything else you could want; the only drawback is the lack of wild animals.
From the moment the Seireitei, all wild animals were taken in and domesticated.
They might be placed on a dining table as food, held in someone's arms as pets, or thrown into an arena to fight, for people's amusement.
As a result, the wilderness of Soul Society became exceptionally quiet, and not even a bird's call could be heard.
There wasn't a single fish in the lake.
After playing enough, Shiraishi stepped ashore from the lake, tossed his head, and water droplets scattered from the ends of his hair. He then took off his underwear, intending to wring it clean.
An unusual flow of spiritual energy drifted through the basin with the north wind. He subconsciously turned his gaze northward, his spiritual sense extending in that direction, and immediately sensed a spiritual pressure different from that of the Grim Reaper.
That feeling of emptiness and nothingness, as if it were drawing your soul into it, is a unique Reiatsu characteristic of the Void.
Is there a trap ahead?
Shiraishi jolted awake, feeling incredibly lucky. He hurriedly dressed, grabbed his Zanpakuto, and used the Steel Tempest to advance towards the Hollow's Reiatsu.
The reason for their urgency was not out of fear of the Hollow causing any damage, but simply because they wanted to eliminate it before the Shinigami could.
If you're too slow, the Hollow will be taken care of by the Shinigami.
He wouldn't let go of the experience he had gained.
