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

Chapter 315 Chapter 314: Final Arrangement

A communication tool leading to the outside of the Invisible Empire.

Using this method, Arima Shizuka can also communicate with others more privately without contacting the outside world.

This is also the research result of Arima Jing in recent days.

Under the green fisherman's hat, a half-smiled face was revealed, and even the tone of voice became a little higher.

"Ah~ Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we last met, Arima-kun!"

Kisuke Urahara.

For someone who was expelled from Soul Society, this guy can be said to be living a pretty comfortable life.

Arima Shizuya had a faint smile on his face and nodded slightly at this moment.

Just about to speak.

Boss Urahara's head was pushed down hard by a hand that suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Oh, isn't this Arima Shizuya? Long time no see, how are you doing in the Invisible Empire lately?!"

The tone was high and the face was full of smiles.

Shifengyuan Yoruichi was wearing a familiar outfit, and was looking at Arima Shizuya on the side of the screen with a smile.

"You haven't contacted us for so long. Is it because the pressure from over there is too great?"

"If you ask me, you don't have to work so hard... You can withdraw when you have gathered enough intelligence. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if something really goes wrong."

"Ah? Urahara, don't move. I haven't said anything yet..."

Shihouin Yoruichi's voice suddenly stopped, and the whole person disappeared to the other side.

At the same time, a very chaotic noise came from the other side of the screen.

"Ms. Yoruichi, please don't cause trouble at a time like this. It's too serious to mess around!"

"Don't do anything naughty at a time like this, you old woman. Do you know that if you do this... ah..."

"Ah! Shen, Shen Tai is going to be killed!"

"You guys should all restrain yourself..."

Although we can't see the face, some things are enough to identify the person just by the voice.

They are all the guys in Urahara Shoten.

It was only after waiting for a long time that Urahara Kisuke, with his hat taken off and messy hair, finally returned to the camera.

"Ahaha, sorry to have embarrassed you, Arima-kun... Just pretend you didn't hear what happened just now, and let's get on with business."

It’s hard to imagine what’s really going on off-camera.

"Everyone got excited when they heard your voice. After all, we lived together in the past."

Arima Shizuka just smiled calmly and nodded in response.

Born as a clone, he possessed this ability under the deliberate guidance and training of Urahara Kisuke.

There is no doubt that for Soul Society's serious criminal Yuma Shizuya, the derivatives of his power are naturally the objects that need to be paid special attention to.

However, the guys at Urahara Shoten protected it well and nurtured it safely.

Although it’s not as exaggerated as saying they are adoptive parents, they are definitely very responsible guides.

"How is everyone doing lately?"

Urahara Kisuke smiled and opened his fan, with an extremely happy smile on his face.

"It's hard to say. If you're really worried, why don't you come back and take a look?"

"Really... Then we should be able to meet again after some time."

It was just a habitual joke.

But after receiving a definite response at this moment, the noisy voice on the other side of the screen suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Because they have been together since childhood, everyone in Urahara Shoten understands each other's responsibilities and burdens best.

Now that we're talking about business.

Naturally, I will no longer have that joking mentality.

Closing the paper fan with a snap, Urahara Kisuke raised his head slightly, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Do you have any definite news?"

"Yes, Yhwach has already specified the time for the attack on Soul Society."

"...It's much faster than expected."

"It's common for plans to fail to keep up with changes. You can't be unprepared for this."

"Ahahaha, it's really boring to be exposed by you right away~"

Although they were talking about a matter of life and death, Urahara Kisuke's inherent frivolity still made people feel helpless and emotional.

"Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic... First, let's exchange information with each other."

Fighting a war is not something that can be arranged on a whim.

Various adjustments, the location of the attack, and more specific directions and the capabilities of the main force, etc.

Things like this would take a lot of time just to narrate orally.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Arima Shizuka deliberately chose this basement area at this moment.

Reduce your exposure as much as possible.

He did not hold back and told the other party everything he had seen and heard at the meeting, trying to find some answers from the other party.

"The attack route is roughly as follows. I also simulated it and hypothesized two other similar and most likely strategies of splitting troops."

"Because this attack was rather hasty, I had some planning authority... I can only say that I will do my best in this regard."

"So please refer to this information and find a way to distribute it to those people in Soul Society."

The long-term arrangement was for this moment, so Urahara Kisuke naturally wouldn't continue laughing.

"Compared to these things, I think other props are more troublesome..."

Urahara Kisuke listened to it all, his expression did not change, but his chin kept nodding from time to time.

A strong sense of explanation, like a bad student suddenly listening to a teacher's serious lecture.

The star emblem, the holy text, and the declaration of Youhabach, etc. Countless specific examples prove that the other party is well prepared to an astonishing degree.

"I see. This is really a tricky matter."

As if to emphasize that, Urahara Kisuke sighed heavily at this moment.

The pressure is really high and it’s not just talk.

The other side has the advantage in numbers and strength.

Now, it is necessary to use this ability called "Star Chapter" to completely strip away the ultimate power of the God of Death. Just sounding like it is enough to make people smack their lips.

After all, if the Zanpakutō were really gone, the power of the God of Death would begin to become questionable.

In terms of ghost arts, he is no match for the Quincy who has been specializing in elves for a thousand years.

As for the skills of white fighting and instant step, since the founder of the school has retired, there is a feeling of being unable to recover.

This is the situation that is referred to as the "gap between the old and the new".

Although he is an old man from the old times and still has a few teeth left, it is definitely not a wise move for him to continue to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

What's more, as the elder among the elders, Yamamoto has already retired behind the scenes, and the only one still serving is Unohana Retsu.

What about the Mesozoic Era?
Originally, there did seem to be a lot of talented people, but after the prison master and Arima Shizuka took turns tinkering with it for a while, those that were left now either had too little time or were of limited strength.

Letting these people take on the responsibility would indeed seem a bit too much.

As for the new generation in the true sense...

I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to discuss that.

Things that are too complicated are not convenient to be discussed openly, but after all, both parties are smart people, and it is enough that some things do not need to be made clear.

Having reached a consensus, Urahara Kisuke nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, "I will definitely report this matter back to Soul Society."

That's good.

Arima Shizuka nodded calmly, then raised what was in her arms.

"Then the next question is this..."

Star badge.

It symbolizes the identity of a Quincy, and is also something that only high-ranking members of the Knights Templar can possess.

"I just bought this yesterday afternoon. Although it is a little different from what I expected, there is no problem in the general direction."

"It has a strong interference ability. Through the method of spirit particle analysis, it can analyze opponents with similar strength..."

"Until the Bankai is completely 'captured' and becomes just an appendage of the Star Chapter."

The invisible empire lurking in the shadows has been spying on every battle like a pervert, taking in all the intelligence gathered so far.

However, this seemingly 'invincible' ability also has some limitations.

"Bankai that has not been exposed so far will naturally not be included."

"Oh, that's really good news."

Urahara Kisuke raised the corner of his mouth with a smile.

"It seems like a guy like me won't be easily fooled~"

"But Boss Urahara, you are a special fighter, and there are many people who want to take your head as a reward for their military exploits."

"Hahaha, I finally became famous and this is how it happens? Really, please forgive me..."

The tone between the two was normal, and it was as relaxed as if they were meeting old friends.

"Let's get back to the point. This thing has limited impact on high-end combat power. The most dangerous person at the moment is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, so...what's wrong?"

Arima Shizuka also suddenly stopped describing.

Because he saw Kisuke Urahara on the other side of the screen suddenly showed a somewhat sad expression.

"No, nothing... I just suddenly felt a little emotional."

Pulling his hat lower, Urahara Kisuke hid his gaze in the shadows.

"If it was in the past, you wouldn't call the former captain like this..."

Although they look the same, their personalities are similar.

But the guy who could always call out "Shan Ye" is definitely no longer alive.

"...?"

"Haha, don't worry about it~ It's just a casual complaint from a middle-aged man, let's continue the discussion."

Arima Shizuka didn't struggle with it for too long.

"Regarding the question of the star badge..."

It itself has a certain degree of spiritual power storage function.

And after Yhwach's "explosive transformation", the added ability to seize Bankai has taken its functionality to a higher level.

This is a problem that must be solved if Soul Society is to prevent itself from losing the war.

Therefore.

"Manager Urahara, how is the matter I asked you to do going?"

"Oh! You mean 'that'?"

It was a completely expected tone.

But this is not surprising, after all, the two sides have started to share what they have with each other a long time ago.

Even without the physical star medals to distribute, their insights on related matters were sufficient for a more in-depth analysis.

There was a snap.

I don't know where Urahara Kisuke got the paper fan from, but he is shaking it and talking with a smile.

"Because it is an application of Quincy-related abilities, the idea was to use the power of the Hollows to offset it, thereby achieving the goal of breaking the 'control'..."

"That's amazing. This is a wild idea worthy of Arima-kun. Perhaps only you can think of such a thing."

Although he was praised, the person concerned did not feel that kind of high-spirited feeling at all.

Arima Shizuka just nodded calmly and spoke softly.

"These things don't matter. The main thing is how the progress is... If it's not completed yet, it may slow down the progress."

"Arima-kun, you occasionally tell some nonsensical jokes."

Urahara Kisuke raised his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became extremely subtle.

"After all, I was once the captain of the 12th Division and the general manager of the Technology Development Bureau. In this area of ​​research... I am not inferior to anyone else."

As he spoke, a translucent glass bottle appeared in his hand.

The bottle is only about the length of an index finger, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. Inside, you can see a number of pure black, chess-piece-sized capsules.

Urahara Kisuke's face was pressed against the edge of the screen.

“This is the product of my research.”

"Although it has not been clearly named yet, this is a medicine made by extracting the blood and power of the Hollows, and extracting their unique, corrosive abilities."

"For convenience, we use edible ingredients that can be taken orally and fully digested."

"Because the dosage has been carefully adjusted, even a vice-captain will not feel any physical burden when taking it."

"It doesn't matter if you eat them like jelly beans!"

It would be a bit exaggerated if it didn't go to this extent...

but.

As long as the result is fine, Arima Shizuka will have something to say.

"Thank you for your hard work, store manager."

After completing a series of arrangements and follow-up steps, things seem to be coming to a temporary end.

According to previous contact rules and judgments, in order to reduce the probability of exposure, each contact should not last too long.

Arima Shizuya was about to interrupt, but was suddenly stopped by Urahara Kisuke.

"Wait a moment...Arima-kun."

"What's wrong, store manager?"

"Don't you really want to come back?"

Being able to say this, it seems that Boss Urahara himself has already made a lot of mental preparations.

Although there was no change in the other person's facial expression, his tone was noticeably stiffer.

"If you continue to stay there... you will be in danger, right?"

"Since everything has been arranged, maybe it would make more sense for you to just come back to us?"

"After all, that's the enemy camp~"

Arima Shizuka was also silent for a moment.

Then he just gave a familiar smile in return.

"No, I still have one last thing to do. If I don't finish it... then my existence will have no meaning at all."

That is……

After the Invisible Empire began its invasion.

A combined effort to strangle Yhwach.
