Chapter 580 Can I have Sister Yuko teach me?
Yu Zi was both amused and exasperated: "So this is my status here?"
"What else? You don't actually think you're a princess, do you?" Yoruichi pouted, but the fighting spirit in her eyes grew even more intense.
Whether it's a punching bag or a whetstone, all she wanted to do at that moment was to thoroughly crush this always nonchalant guy in front of her and give him a good beating.
"Take this, Yuko!"
Before she finished speaking, Yoruichi's figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt once more, unleashing the power of Shunbo to its limit. Within the dojo, golden arcs of electricity leaped wildly, the air was torn apart with a sharp whistling sound, and the entire space seemed to be ignited by the violent spiritual pressure emanating from her.
In the center of the arena, Yoruichi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of heaviness washed over her.
Sure enough, using Instant Hurricane is still a bit of a stretch now.
Yoruichi took a deep breath, her golden eyes fixed intently on Yuuko, and she took a half step back with her right foot, assuming a starting stance.
She can only maintain this state for a minute at most. Continuing to force it will only hurt her.
"It's about to start, Yuko."
Yoruichi said seriously.
Without waiting for Yuuko's response, Yoruichi's figure disappeared from sight once again.
In an instant, only countless golden afterimages remained in the dojo, launching a fierce and relentless attack on Yuko from all directions at a speed that was completely imperceptible to the naked eye.
He punched and kicked, each attack carrying immense destructive power, showing no sign of holding back against Yuko.
Wow, so fast!
Yuko's eyes darted left and right, trying her best to catch Yoruichi's movements, but she kept losing sight of him.
The Zanpakuto clashed violently with Yoruichi's fist, each impact producing a burst of dazzling sparks and a deafening roar.
Standing at the doorway, Yushiro was completely dumbfounded, his back soaked with cold sweat. In his vision, he could barely see the two figures anymore, only the sparks flying everywhere in the dojo and the cracking floorboards.
Yuko struggled to withstand Yoruichi's high-frequency attacks, her enhanced fists striking the Zanpakuto, causing her to feel unwell all over.
As time went on, Yuko gradually lost her ability to keep up with Yoruichi's movements and was hit by Yoruichi.
Ikuko paid no attention to the pain in her body; her golden eyes were focused on making out Yoruichi's figure.
Ultimately, spiritual pressure level is based on the control of spiritual power, or spiritual particles. Whether it's physical attributes or anything else, nothing can escape this premise.
As the spirit particles circulated within Yuko's body, her vision gradually became clearer.
Yoruichi's attacks began to be frequently caught by Ikuko, causing Yoruichi to break out in a cold sweat and mutter "monster" under her breath.
As each of Yoruichi's attacks was countered by Ikuko, she was even able to launch her own attacks against Yoruichi.
Yoruichi retreated rapidly, and Ikuko chased after him with her sword in hand.
This time, it was a pre-emptive assessment!
Yuko's eyes were already able to keep up with her speed.
Yoruichi felt a chill run down her spine; she knew that her speed no longer gave her an absolute advantage over Yuuko.
Just as Yuuko slashed down, Yoruichi's figure suddenly stopped.
"Although I guess you should have seen it..."
Yoruichi's voice suddenly rang out from behind her, and Yuuko's blade had already turned around and slashed the moment Yoruichi opened her mouth.
"……clear."
Yuuko's Zanpakuto came to a steady stop in front of Yoruichi.
The spiritual pressure wrapped in golden lightning gradually dissipated from Yoruichi's body, and the clothes on her sleeves disappeared from her body. She was looking at Yuuko with a helpless expression.
Not even for a moment?
"No."
"…I think so."
"That was... Utsusemi, wasn't it?" Yushiro's voice rang out from the doorway.
"Hmm." Yoruichi nodded slightly, looking past Yuuko's figure to behind her, where her clothes remained. "Using clothes and afterimages as cover, the remaining spiritual pressure can deceive others' perception for a short time."
At this point, Yoruichi scratched her head in apparent anguish: "That's how it should have been."
Yuko smiled slightly and sheathed her Zanpakuto: "Although there is residual spiritual pressure and aura, it is enough to deceive the perception of most Shinigami."
"But you can't resist those eyes."
She pointed to her eyes, those golden pupils so deep they seemed to see through everything.
"Whether it's the flow of blood, the contraction of muscles, or the support of bones, the empty shell you create doesn't exist."
"Ah! I'm not playing anymore!" Yoruichi instantly snapped.
What a joke! Instant Step won't work, Instant Trick won't work, and even Ethereal Cicada can't fool you.
Isn't this cheating?!
Yuko smiled and said, "Because it's just training, Yoruichi can't unleash her full potential."
"If this were a real battle, I doubt I could handle it so easily."
Her explanation sounded sincere, but Yoruichi didn't believe it at all.
She didn't go all out in this dojo, but didn't Ikuko do the same?
He hardly ever used the Zanpakuto's abilities, and its Shikai was never fully unleashed.
"Let's go! Go find your Hana-nee!" Yoruichi angrily walked past Yuuko and dragged the bewildered Yushiro away from the dojo.
Yuko chuckled, shook her head helplessly, and followed Yoruichi out of the dojo to attend the meeting at the Fourth Division.
……
Inside the Shihōin family's teahouse, Yoruichi lay leisurely on the tatami mats, completely devoid of the atmosphere from before.
Yushiro sat opposite her and finally couldn't help but speak up when his older sister remained silent.
"Um, sister, Sister Yu Zi..."
Yoruichi raised an index finger to her lips, and Yushiro's voice immediately stopped.
Yoruichi nodded in satisfaction: "Just pretend you didn't see anything, understand?"
"Huh? What?" Yushiro paused for a moment, then realized what she meant. "Sister, are you talking about Yuko-neechan's arm regenerating at supersonic speed?"
Yoruichi looked at him speechlessly: "Didn't I tell you to pretend you didn't see anything?"
Yushiro couldn't help but say, "But, shouldn't only a Hollow be able to master that kind of ability?"
Neither Shinigami nor Quincy possess this ability.
Yoruichi said calmly, "It's Yuuko's Zanpakuto ability."
The straightforward Yushiro immediately saw through his older sister's perfunctory answer, "Then what is the prism that allows for spatial teleportation?"
“Yushiro…” Yoruichi sat up abruptly from the tatami mat, his golden eyes gleaming: “Do you know?”
"There are some things that are better left unknown to you."
Yushiro: "..."
My sister is really going too far...
Yoruichi lay down again at lightning speed, casually waving her hand: "If you understand, then go train. You're still a long way from being worthy of my approval."
Yushiro rolled his eyes, his expression suddenly becoming serious, and he hesitated before asking, "Can I ask Yuko-neechan to teach me?"
"Huh?!" Ye Yi, who had just lain down, jumped up instantly and slammed her hand on the tea table. "Let her teach you?"
"You think my teaching is ineffective?"
Yushiro panicked instantly and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, that's not what I think."
"I just felt that my older sister was too busy and didn't have time to teach me most of the time, so I thought of Yuko-neechan."
Yoruichi paused for a moment, "Busy...busy?"
Yes, working three or four days a month is quite busy.
After all, their Second Division, as a covert mobile unit, doesn't go on missions as frequently as other divisions.
So sometimes it's not that Yoruichi wants to slack off, but that she really has nothing to do.
"What's the point of looking for that idiot?" Yoruichi jumped up. "I happen to have some free time today, so let me, as your older sister, personally teach you."
Yushiro: I have a bad feeling about this.
……
After leaving the Shihouin family residence, Yuuko walked slowly along the wide and clean stone path in the Seireitei towards the Fourth Division.
The training with Sister Hua was supposed to be training, but it was actually pure combat.
That seemingly gentle woman, once she picks up a knife, exudes a terrifying aura of killing intent and sword pressure that even Yuko must now face with all her might.
But precisely because of this, every sparring session with her resulted in a leap forward in Yuuko's use of spiritual pressure and her integration of sword techniques with the Shinigami system.
While Yoruichi often intentionally held back to avoid causing pain, Hana's battles were truly merciless, aimed entirely at turning her into minced meat.
Yuko followed the route she remembered, her mind replaying her sparring session with Yoruichi.
Shunko was indeed a brilliant and ingenious technique, perfectly combining Hakuda (Hand-to-Hand) and Kido (Demon Arts), unleashing terrifying power and speed. If it weren't for the Transparent World's ability to foresee the attack, coupled with his overpowered regeneration ability and Shikai, he probably would have been thoroughly beaten to a pulp by Yoruichi.
This is not the outcome she wanted.
Just thinking about Yoruichi's furious yet helpless expression at the end made Yuko's lips curl into a smile.
Just as Yuko was about to turn onto the main road leading to the Fourth Division barracks, a familiar figure came into her view.
At the corner, a young man with black-rimmed glasses and a gentle, refined demeanor was walking slowly towards her. He was someone she had met once before... what was his name again?
I remember now, Aizen Sousuke.
Yuko remembers him.
Because of the unfathomable spiritual pressure within him, far exceeding that of an ordinary captain.
Aizen, dressed in a well-fitting shihaka outfit, strolled over and stopped in front of Yuuko.
"Miss Yuko? It's been a long time." Aizen still wore a friendly smile, as if it were just a chance encounter.
“Aizen…sir?” Yuko returned a polite smile. “It has indeed been a while since we last met.”
Aizen smiled gently, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflecting a fleeting glint of light: "I was just about to return to the Fifth Division when I unexpectedly ran into Ms. Yuko here."
huh?
Was she blinded by the lens just now?
What is the principle?
Yuko, lost in thought, noticed Aizen's earlier words, glanced at the character '五' on his sleeve, and chuckled, "I never imagined that Mr. Aizen was actually the vice-captain of the Fifth Division."
Although she got the information from Yoruichi and Old Master Kuchiki.
Aizen smiled but didn't explain anything. Instead, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, "Where are you headed, Miss Yuuko? Judging from the direction you're going, it seems to be the Fourth Division?"
"You have a good eye, Vice-Captain Aizen." Yuko changed her form of address and readily admitted, "I've made an appointment to go to the Fourth Division for training."
"Oh?" Aizen's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, his curiosity precisely piqued. "The Fourth Division is the Medical Division. Could it be that Miss Yuuko is learning the Resurrection Technique?"
“No, it’s swordsmanship training,” Yuko said frankly, “with Hana-nee... Captain Unohana.”
The title "Hana-nee" was too casual, so when facing Aizen, whom she had only recently met, she naturally switched to a more formal title.
"Training in swordsmanship with Captain Unohana...?" A hint of confusion appeared in Aizen's tone. "Shouldn't Captain Unohana's outstanding skill be her karate?"
Yuko remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was somewhat surprised.
Is this person truly unaware? Or has their lying reached such a level that they've deceived themselves, with their heartbeat and pulse remaining completely unchanged?
Yes, after gradually learning about the Seireitei, Soul Society, Shinigami, and Hollows, Yuuko has begun to form her own judgment.
This person's spiritual pressure level is stronger than many captains, even far surpassing Yoruichi's. To put it slightly exaggeratedly, he's already approaching the level of Yamamoto.
Yet, this very person was only a vice-captain.
That's... a bit too strange.
At first, Yuuko thought it was because of the backward system in Soul Society, but that's not the case. The selection of captains is not something that can be done casually based on connections or background.
Either you need the joint recommendation of at least several team leaders, or you need to master Bankai and pass the test.
Even Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi's best friend, passed the rigorous test.
Given Yuko's ability to judge spiritual pressure, she is absolutely infallible.
The person in front of me already possessed the strength of a captain.
It's just weird.
Was she overthinking things? Did this person not intentionally want to meet with her?
indeed……
During this time, she had been running around on three fronts: the Shihouin family, the Kuchiki family, and the Fourth Division. Yet, she had never felt like she was being watched by anyone.
In other words, this person was indeed meeting her for the second time.
With her current perception, spiritual pressure, and the Transparent World, there aren't many people who can deceive her.
Yuko replied with a smile, "Of course I'm learning, but Captain Unohana's swordsmanship is also quite good."
"Is that so? Then I won't bother you any longer." Aizen bowed slightly, making way for her with impeccable manners, quite the gentleman. "I hope to have the opportunity to exchange swordsmanship insights with Miss Yuko next time."
"must."
Yuko smiled and nodded, then walked past him without any ceremony.
Was she a composed hunter, or was she overthinking things?
As she passed Aizen, Yuuko glanced sideways, her golden eyes revealing a keen, almost obsessive, vision as she scrutinized Aizen's body.
Sure enough, both the heart rate and pulse rate were within normal ranges, showing no signs of lying.
