Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 121, Section 119: Growth and Preparation

"Hey, Oush, you're back so early today?"

"Hey, Ou Xu, you look better and better lately!"

"Oux, is there something good happening lately? You've even started humming a little tune?"

As the days went by, Yujima Osh's neighbors in Rukongai noticed that Yujima Osh, who had been in a daze all day, gradually returned to her former cheerful self.

He regained his confidence.

Along with Yushima Oshu's improved condition, his physical fitness also improved.

"Lord Shuichi, I'm back!"

Another day has passed. Pushing open the door, Yujima Ouko happily greets Higashino Shuichi, who is sitting inside enjoying "Seireitei Letters".

"Why are you so happy today, Ou Xu?"

Higashino Shuichi put down the magazine in his hand, looked up at Yujima Oshu and asked.

"That's because I made a special trip to the Ninth Division today and gave those guys who used to laugh at me a good beating!"
Hahaha! Lord Xiuyi, you have no idea how wide those guys' eyes nearly popped out when they saw that I could actually unleash my Shikai!

That's absolutely hilarious!

As Yushima Oshu spoke, he gestured to Higashino Shuichi, his expression full of excitement.

"You!"

Higashino shook his head. This Yushima Ou-shi did indeed possess extraordinary talent, especially after nearly half a year of targeted training, his physical fitness had made leaps and bounds compared to before.

However, Shimao Osho's personality still needs to be tempered.

"You only learned Shikai yesterday, and you're already showing off to the Ninth Division today. What will you do when you learn Bankai? Won't you be saying to the captains, 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential'?"

"Hehe, it's not impossible, Shuichi-sama!" Yujima Ouka seemed oblivious to Higashino Shuichi's unspoken message, scratching his head and chuckling foolishly, "You were able to take on five captains at once without being at a disadvantage, so after I learn Bankai, I should at least be able to take on two at once, so as not to embarrass you, right?"

"You think you can take on two at once?" Higashino Shuichi rolled his eyes at Yujima Oshu. "You'll be lucky if you can beat one of them."

Originally, Shuichi Higashino meant to dampen Yujima Oush's inflated confidence, but Yujima Oush's eyes lit up after hearing this, "So, even you, Shuichi-sama, think that once I master Bankai, I'll definitely be able to defeat a captain and become the new captain, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Shuichi had several big question marks on his face. Why did he feel like he and Yujima Oshu were not on the same wavelength?
"Think what you want, but have you prepared all the props I asked you to?"

Higashino Shuichi was too lazy to correct Yujima Oshu's thinking anymore; in a sense, Yujima Oshu hadn't said anything wrong.

According to the original story, Yujima Okko is indeed very powerful, and it would be no problem for her to take on several captain-level Shinigami by herself.

Furthermore, considering his somewhat pseudo-invincible Zanpakuto ability, if Yujima Osh's spiritual pressure were a little higher, he might have had a chance to go toe-to-toe with a veteran captain like Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Ready, Xiuichi!"

Yushima Oshi nodded, then took out what Higashino Shuichi wanted from his backpack.

A pair of glasses, a face mold made from scraps of spirit remains, and a mold for a Zanpakuto.

These are things that only Yujima Osh, who is in the 12th Division, can handle.

Kisuke Urahara in the present world could also make them, but having just defected from Soul Society, he simply didn't have the extra materials to make them.

In future storylines, the reason why Kisuke Urahara was able to have so many experimental materials is probably because Shuichi Higashino relied on Yoruichi Shihouin's constant exploitation of Soul Society over the past hundred years.

After all, Yoruichi Shihouin's status and strength are undeniable. As long as Yoruichi Shihouin is shameless, she can come and go freely in Soul Society.

Compared to before her defection, Yoruichi Shihouin may experience some inconveniences in her actions after her defection, but the difference will not be too significant.

In any case, Higashino Shuichi did not believe that those Shinigami who were clearly not strong enough could capture Yoruichi Shihouin, and those who were strong enough to capture Yoruichi Shihouin would most likely not take action for various reasons, and would only choose to turn a blind eye.

Even Aizen is no exception; in fact, Aizen would probably be hoping that Urahara Kisuke would quickly come up with something so that he could give him a pretext to force Soul Society to take drastic measures.

Because of a combination of factors, and considering that the actual damage caused to Soul Society by Kisuke Urahara and his group's defection was far less than that of the Kasumi clan's rebellion that night, and that they had completely disappeared afterward.

Therefore, the Central 46 had always intended to let the matter fade away gradually. "But Lord Shuichi, are you really planning to come into Seireitei with me like this?"

Seeing that Higashino Shuichi had put on all the things he had prepared, and that his appearance and demeanor were like those of a completely different person, Yujima Oshu asked with some concern.

"Of course, there are some things I have to talk to your current captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, in person. Otherwise, your captain wouldn't believe anyone else."

Higashino nodded slightly.

"But."

Yushima Oshu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, Higashino Shuichi is still a wanted criminal on the Soul Society's list. Yu Shima Ouka may not care, but once Higashino Shuichi is discovered after entering Seireitei, his fate will definitely not be good.

He had only just begun to experience the power of death, and Yujima Osh was incredibly greedy for the power he possessed at that moment.

"Don't worry, I know the Seireitei's barrier system very well. Although it will issue warnings and take defensive measures against any living organism with high spiritual particle density, it does not have the ability to detect true spiritual pressure. As long as you use the excuse of being a test subject of the 12th Division to help me cover it up, with my completely changed appearance now, those Shinigami will not be able to discover my true identity."

Higashino Shuichi knew what Yushima Ouko was worried about, so he offered words of comfort.

In fact, if it weren't for this damned barrier system, Higashino Shuichi wouldn't have used such a troublesome method; instead, he would have rushed directly into Seireitei six months ago.

When Higashino Shuichi was still the vice-captain, he couldn't feel the significance of this barrier at all. It was only after his identity became that he realized how troublesome this thing was.

Seeing Higashino Shuichi's confident demeanor, Yujima Ouko knew there was no point in trying to persuade him further, so she changed the subject: "Alright then, Shuichi-sama, I'll take you in tomorrow, but shouldn't we start training today?"

"of course."

Having completely changed his appearance, Higashino Shuichi nodded to Yujima Oshu. At the same time, a spirit being descended from the ceiling above, emanating a spiritual pressure that was almost identical to that of Yujima Oshu.

As Higashino Shuichi opened his palm and finished chanting, a spirit particle barrier in the shape of an inverted triangular pyramid formed inside the room, trapping Yushima Oshu and the spirit particle person inside.

It was the binding spell numbered seventy-three, Daoshan Jing.

Given Higashino Shuichi's current spiritual pressure level, the mountain-top crystal he created through complete incantation could not possibly be broken by Shima Osh.

Therefore, that place has been the best training ground for Higashino Shuichi to train Shima Oshu for so long.

After imprisoning Shima Ouko to receive the whipping of his spirit beings, Higashino Shuichi sat back down and picked up the copy of "Seireitei Correspondence" that he had only read half of.

To be honest, this magazine, which was just founded by the new captain of the Ninth Division, Kaname Tosen, already has the feel of a magazine from the future.

Furthermore, since it was founded by the newly appointed captain, most of the current captains and vice-captains of Seireitei have come to support it.

Such as the Samurai Manual written by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the captain of the First Division;
The recipe for Western-style pastries, written by Sasakibe Jōjirō, the vice-captain of the First Division;
The column "This is too ridiculous" started by Gin Ichimaru, the captain of the Third Division;
A discussion on flower arranging written by Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division;

The calligraphy copybook was provided by Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the Fifth Division.
The first chapter of "Pisces," a novel serialized by Jushiro Ukitake, captain of the 13th Division;
and many more.

Having never seen these captains and vice-captains in this light before, Higashino Shuichi's greatest pleasure during this period was reading the magazine sentence by sentence.

Then try to understand how these team leaders felt when they submitted these articles.

Without a doubt, this is a very interesting thing.

Even Higashino Shuichi sometimes thinks that if he hadn't been forced to join Urahara Kisuke's group and flee to the real world because of that accident, he would be a captain now.

So what will he serialize in this magazine?

"How about I write a novel called 'The Grim Reaper Who Has No Talent and Joins Forces with Retsu Unohana'?"

Given Retsu Unohana's popularity in Bleach, many people will surely be following along!
First of all, I want to apologize. As some of you may have noticed, because the previous chapters about the real world received a very bad response, I originally planned to lay the groundwork for the characters and introduce a major storyline involving Fullbringers and Quincy, but I have cut it all.

Therefore, I skipped over the plot that should have taken about a year in the real world and forced it into the soul modification chapter that should have followed.

So all the drafts I had written are now useless, and the outline is being urgently adjusted. I'm trying my best to resolve the foreshadowing I planted in the previous pages.

Therefore, I may not be able to finish posting all chapters by 8:00 AM on time these next few days, but I will still post at least 10,000 words per day, though the later chapters may be a little later.
