Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 128: 127: Blood-Boiling Combination Skills
"It hurts..."

Sitting in the chair of Aizen's office in the 5th Division's barracks.

Arima Shizuka also had a grinning expression on her face.

"Be gentle, be gentle... I beg you..."

"I tried to be as light as possible."

"Is it because I can't see? It doesn't seem to be the case."

"You have a problem with me?"

The person involved didn't want to appear so embarrassed, but the pain that was so deep in his heart at this moment still made him feel a little overwhelmed.

However, Tosen Yao, who was dealing with these injuries, couldn't help but frown.

He had no intention of bullying anyone, and even when facing his best friend, Blind Brother only felt regret and self-blame in his heart.

After all, if he had learned something, Arima Shizuka wouldn't have to fight the enemy alone in such an embarrassing situation today.

and so.

I'm sorry... At least let me be of some use at this time.

"Nothing can be done about it. Just bear with it a little longer, Arima."

after all……

"The skin is attached to the tendons and muscles, and they are all stuck to the fabric."

Because it was not treated immediately, the wound and the torn cloth were completely mixed together.

Like chopped and minced meat.

The injuries caused by being crushed by a mace are so horrific and terrifying.

As Tosen was about to cut open the Shinigami suit on Arima Shizuya's body one by one until the wound was exposed.

The wound on the boy's hand was also clearly visible.

Regarding this aspect, Aizen, who was standing nearby, could no longer laugh at this moment... He pursed his lips and looked at Arima Shizuya, who was sweating profusely.

He sighed at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Shizuya-kun. I didn't help you right away because I needed to be on guard against other captain-level figures who might be lurking, so I made some preparations..."

Sounds a lot like an excuse.

But Arima Jing could fully understand the other party's difficulties.

After all, there was absolutely no problem with Kensei Muguruma's judgment at the time, as this was the home court of the Gotei 13.

In addition to the obvious opponents, they also need to consider potential opponents.

Even Mr. Yamamoto did not take any action until the end.

"In order to minimize the noise caused by Bankai, I have tried my best to maintain the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu."

That's exactly what happened.

If it weren't for the help of the prison warden, the commotion caused by Liu Che Quanxi would definitely be enough to attract the attention of old man Yamamoto.

If we wait until this gentleman appears...

Is there still a way for Arima Jing to survive?
If he was in perfectly good condition and had made 120% preparation, he might be able to fight against the old man in Shikai.

With the buffer of a disaster, he could get to know his opponent's abilities and moves over a long period of time.

It shouldn't be a problem...

But doing so might also piss off the old man.

Hoo ho ho…

By then, when the old man shows up with a broken fire sword in his hand, there will probably be nothing left of Arima Shizuka.

Although that sword can burn the entire Soul Society, its release for a short period of time can still control the disaster within an effective range.

If you think about it this way, the future of the Aizen team is still extremely gloomy!
At this moment, facing Aizen's apology, Arima Shizuya stammered for a while, and finally revealed a relieved smile.

"It's not a big deal, Sensei."

"Without your help, I would have been besieged by even more people tonight."

"And in the end...if it weren't for Mirror Flower and Water Moon's help, it would have been difficult for me to escape."

It's not flattery, nor is it something said out of politeness or decency.

What Arima Shizuya was thinking at this moment was exactly the same as what he said.

"My simulated liberation."

"It is essentially a reinforcement of the Shikai ability."

"And the power of Sagara Dragon Shatan is also based on this source point and spreads out in the end."

The enhanced one is the 'Salt Sea' which is used to confuse, disorient, and disorient the opponent.

The name "Shatan", when brought into Buddhist terminology, also has a special meaning.

A sand mandala (aldana) is a symbolic structure used for spiritual practice and meditation.

It represents the entire process of cultivation, including the entire process from ordinary people to enlightenment...

Trapped in the sand altar.

Force the opponent to be in a 'controlled' state.

But having said that, actually executing it is a completely different matter.

Arima Shizuya showed a very helpless expression at this moment.

"If I want to fully unleash the power of the sand tan, I need enough experience... After all, in terms of the method, this is a hypnotic Zanpakutō application."

The abilities of Zanpakuto vary, and Arima Shizuka also simulates the ability to release it, extracting and strengthening it uniquely...

This is an incredible technology in itself.

Because when the conditions are ripe enough and the parties’ skills are perfected…

Arima Shizuka is able to adjust her own abilities to achieve the goal of strengthening her 'full range' Zanpakutō.

It was for this reason that Aizen felt such emotion at the time.

genius.

But at this moment, this ability does not seem as perfect as expected.

Unfortunately.

"I think I have absolutely no talent in this area."

The ability of a Zanpakuto is something that will be fixed quickly after the god of death injects his spirit and power into it.

Arima Shizuya is naturally no exception.

What he is doing now is, at best, a variant of compromise, and is not a detour to a solution.

Therefore.

"The level I can display is definitely not as good as that of someone who is truly an expert in this field."

The power that could have been used to trap Guiyan City is now being used on other characters, and it seems a bit stretched.

"I want to catalyze different environments to target the perception of each captain, so as to confuse them."

"But... no, it's already difficult just to trap them."

"If I try to do anything else, I feel like I might pass out on the spot."

Over-exerting the spiritual power in the body will eventually cause a dizziness-like effect.

So that comes down to it.

The empty "vast land" that Kenpachi Zaraki saw at the beginning was the origin of Arima Shizuya's method.

So……

What about those different dreams seen by other captains?
The answer naturally lies with Aizen.

Hearing Arima Shizuya's sigh at this moment, the prison master pushed his glasses calmly, and then opened his mouth and spoke as if with emotion.

"There's no need to say such self-destructive words, Shizuya-kun."

"Your abilities have great potential, but you just lack time to accumulate them."

"Even more... my Mirror Flower and Water Moon can be expanded on the basis of yours, which shows that Shizuya-kun's potential in the illusion department in the future is also not inferior to mine."

That's right.

Aizen used the illusion of mirror flowers and water moon again on top of Arima Shizuya's. In the confusing place that was already born out of reality, the captains once again accepted the second round of illusion baptism.

Shatan is known as the Sumeru realm for self-reflection.

On top of that, there are the flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water… just like the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, appearing in front of everyone in the most vivid posture.

It was precisely because of this strangeness that Aikawa Luowu said the word "different" with sweat all over his forehead during a meeting in another place.

That's not true...

This kind of illusion of a set within a set is probably the first time it has appeared so far.

This is the exciting combination skill of the master and apprentice!
Arima Shizuya and Aizen were able to achieve this because they trusted each other enough.

The collaboration between the two.

This double illusion was formed almost at the moment when consensus was reached.

He bewitched the most destructive Aikawa Rabu, controlled Hirako Mako, and Rokuguruma Kensei.

Finally, Kenpachi Zaraki, who has the highest uncertainty, is held in place...

Perfect arrangement.

Afterwards, with the help of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, Arima Shizuka also evacuated and escaped perfectly.

Although there have been relevant theories before, being able to achieve this step now is already a great progress.

Feeling of emotion, followed by recognition.

Aizen reached out and gently patted Arima Shizuya's shoulder at this moment.

"Shizuya-kun, you have done very well today. And I believe that tomorrow you will be able to perform far beyond your current level."

Although it is amazing enough.

But to this day, this towering tree is still in its growth stage.

Looking forward to it, and eagerly waiting...how far can this godson of mine go?
Aizen's heart was filled with emotion.

Faced with this recognition, Arima Shizuka opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

but……

The feeling of fatigue that emerged from the depths of my mind had become overwhelming.

In an instant, Arima Shizuya's consciousness and awareness were engulfed.

Although it is just a simulation of liberation.

But in order to achieve the level of a true Bankai, Arima Shizuya's output of spiritual power will naturally not be controlled.

Two full efforts.

Add to that the mental stress of confronting four captain-level figures, and the physical burden...

The young man, who had just touched the third level of spiritual power, was now exhausted in the literal sense.

At the last moment, the person concerned looked in front of him.

All I could do was to say "sorry".

The whole person fainted.

Tosen reached out and supported Arima Shizuya who was about to fall. After a careful examination, he spoke as if he was relieved.

"Nothing wrong... just dizziness caused by exhaustion."

Aizen nodded without comment, then turned to Tosen and spoke.

"I will take care of your injuries later. You should hurry back to the team house."

After all, the captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Rokuguruma, was injured. If he was not present at this time, he would not be suspected, but it would still easily arouse suspicion.

"Although I can still maintain my ability of Mirror Flower and Water Moon, I have consumed a lot tonight. If possible... I don't want to maintain this unnecessary illusion."

Tosen completely agreed with Aizen's judgment, but at the same time, he was also concerned about Arima Shizuya's injury.

"But Lord Aizen..."

"Yes, trust Shizuya-kun, I will take good care of him."

What else can I say now? Putting down the gauze in his hand, Dong Xian retreated to the door in silence.

Salute solemnly.

"Then I will take my leave, Master Aizen."

"Well, have a safe journey, please."

Walking on the corridor of the 5th Division's barracks, Tosen Kaname slowly clenched his fists.

next time.

If this situation happens again next time.

I absolutely cannot stand idly by like this anymore.

after all……

We are like-minded friends.

In the room, Aizen half-knelt down and began to carefully treat the wound, removing the remnants of cloth.

Wait for the debridement to be completed, use Huidao for emergency treatment, and then wrap the gauze.

After dealing with all this, Aizen went back outside, took out a blanket, and gently covered Arima Shizuya with it.

"..."

He returned to his seat in silence.

Aizen turned his chair to face outwards, allowing himself to glimpse the bright moon outside the window.

Arima Shizuka will rest in the office tonight, so he naturally won't abandon him.

Companionship is also part of healing.

Gazing at the bright moon outside the window, I feel the cool and quiet light shining on my body.

Aizen couldn't help but sigh.

"It's such a long road..."

Research on collapsed jade.

The Gotei 13.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

There is also a guy hiding in deeper places who took the name of Arima Shizuya's Zanpakuto.

The difficulties pile up in front of us, like mountains towering into the sky, which makes people marvel and feel at a loss as to where to start.

But for Aizen, everything doesn't seem so 'hopeless'.

"It doesn't matter..."

He whispered in a low voice and lowered his head to rest on his right hand, Aizen's breath was normal.

He uttered something that sounded like a dream.

“Time is on our side.”

"so……"

"Wait with anticipation."

Arima Shizuya's power will eventually become something that cannot be ignored.

Of course, he was not simply waiting for the boy to grow up - as proud as he was, he would never pin all his hopes on his godson.

This is not just a matter of sanity...

It also involves something called dignity.

It's time to start speeding up your pace.

and……

"Just Shizuya-kun alone probably makes him feel a bit of unnecessary pressure."

We can't pay too much attention to him. We should let him relax a little once in a while.

and so.

I should do something too.
