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

Chapter 328 Chapter 327: Growth

Move the time forward slightly.

Almost before many captains met their respective opponents...the then-captain-general Shunsui Kyoraku was also attacked.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
The continuous echoes continued to be heard at the end of the alley in Seireitei.

Ise Nanao, who was then the vice-captain of the First Division, stood near the edge with a nervous look on her face, and was placing her hands nervously on her chest.

Literally 'worry'.

Because at this moment, the 'Captain' is also facing the dilemma of being attacked.

The two figures are constantly intersecting and colliding.

The roar of the gun's brakes and the hissing of the blade's swinging and slashing mixed with each other, making it impossible to see what was happening.

"..."

She raised her hands to cover her face. The strong wind blowing over made Ise Nanao feel an incredible amount of pressure just by standing there.

The person concerned must have a corresponding self-awareness of his own strength.

but……

We can't just watch Kyoraku Shunsui take risks alone!
The emotions in her heart were constantly surging, and out of concern and anxiety, Ise Nanao uncontrollably took half a step forward.

The balanced scale tilted in an instant.

bump! ! !
In this fierce collision where the figures could not be seen clearly, a tricky bullet shot out like a poisonous snake and bared its sharp fangs towards Ise Nanao.

The parties involved haven't even been able to react.

A figure suddenly flashed forward and stood right in front of Ise Nanao.

The two sides in his hands crossed and waved.

The silver-white bullet was silently cut in half, splitting into two hunting sounds that tore through the wind, cutting through the air and piercing into the stone floor.

"You actually found time to deal with children? This person is really unreasonable~"

Seeing Kyoraku Shunsui bowing slightly in front of her, Ise Nanao reacted belatedly.

She seems to have caused trouble for her captain again...

"Well, that...Captain..."

"I'm sorry, Nanao, could you please step back a little at this time?"

Although his tone was still calm and playful, Kyoraku Shunsui didn't even turn his head at this moment.

——If the purpose was to convince and reassure people, Kyoraku Shunsui could obviously choose a more peaceful approach.

But this is the 'limit'.

After all, the guy in front of him was not someone he could be distracted to deal with.

As for the opponent...

Robert Ajutron.

Even among the Stern Cross Knights who were crowded with inhuman beings, he could still be considered an elder, and at this moment he was calmly watching everything in front of him.

"You actually have objections to the sneak attack? I thought the captain was the same as me."

Results oriented.

play hard.

bump! ! !
With lightning speed, he suddenly raised his right hand and fired another bullet.

The bullet, wrapped in rich spiritual energy and emitting a bright azure light, gushed out and headed straight for Ise Nanao's face.

"..."

Kyoraku Shunsui silently raised his two swords.

The two brutal weapons collided heavily, sparks of fire flew everywhere, and the sound of tearing continued...

By blocking and swinging, Kyoraku Shunsui tilted the trajectory of the bullet until it turned to the high wall behind him.

The rotating projectile pierced the wall like a poisonous needle driven into the flesh, penetrating the complex spiritual structure in an instant.

The high wall collapsed softly and turned into a pile of ruins under the horrified gaze of Ise Nanao.

“Don’t hide away…”

Robert Ajutron's eyes were dull, and the way he raised the pistol revealed a strong inhuman aura.

"Won't it be impossible to hit the target this way?"

"Since you are already standing here, I can understand that... you have completely accepted the current situation and want to participate in this battle, right?"

"Then you shouldn't complain if you get hit. There's nothing you can do about it. This is the way you chose to survive."

It became a burden to Kyoraku Shunsui and a tool to distract his opponent.

Robert Ajutron has a very clear perception and positioning of this type of person.

It was just a fledgling that had rashly stepped into the battlefield without any awareness or mental preparation... It was protected so well that it had even forgotten the pain.

Such an insignificant guy, yet he serves as the face of the Gotei 13, the vice-captain of the first squad.

That's really...

"Bringing such a person here, Captain-General...it seems that your vision is just that."

boom!
Ise Nanao wanted to dodge, but it was obvious... the other party would not give her such an 'opportunity'.

Beating a drowning dog is also a simple and brutal absolute tactic.

Once you gain the upper hand, you must press on and completely suppress the opponent until you win in the end.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
Bullets gushed out one after another, the captain's figure flashed, and the two swords in his hands danced like butterflies among flowers.

Block, chop, and slash!

In terms of technology alone, it is absolutely sophisticated enough to be amazing.

But at the same time, it is also very regrettable.

goo...

The torn eyebrow left a wound with red blood gushing out of it.

At this moment, the situation of the confrontation was clearly laid out on the table, so that even Ise Nanao, who was just a bystander, understood the current situation.

Kyoraku Shunsui was forced to be at a disadvantage... because of himself.

"Nanao-chan..."

Kyoraku Shunsui spoke with a slightly heavy breath, and although he did not mean to blame anyone, the person involved had almost forgotten to breathe.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry…

It has not played any role at all, and has only been a drag on Kyoraku Shunsui so far.

It is obvious that the other vice-captains can shoulder the responsibilities. Even if they cannot fight with the captain, they can at least share some of the responsibilities.

But it seems that I haven't made any progress from beginning to end.

Is it because I have no ambition? Or... without my Zanpakutō, I am not qualified to enter a battlefield of this level.

Shame lingered like a nightmare, gripping Ise Nanao's heart and making her tremble and cry uncontrollably.

"..."

There was no looking back.

But it was obvious that the emotion called "shame" was surging behind him.

The captain, who always maintained a playful and cynical look, now lowered his eyes... revealing a thoughtful expression.

Have I protected myself too well?

I always feel that... this child should be able to become stronger.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, without his own Zanpakutō, this congenitally incomplete situation...

This is a result that no arrogant person can accept.

She had to find a chance to regain her confidence. Her thoughts were not able to settle. A hoarse but sharp voice came from behind Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Breaking Path No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon!"

The hissing yellow electric light exploded with a humming sound like thunder, and shot towards the opponent along the "bridge" built in the air.

The roar of thunder struck the ground hard, shattering the bricks and tiles into powder, and returning to chaos.

Robert Ajutron's figure also disappeared, as if he was swallowed up entirely.

"...?"

Kyoraku Shunsui showed a rare expression of surprise.

He raised his two swords, turned his head halfway... and saw Ise Nanao who was in a miserable state behind him.

The sweat on his head had soaked his hair, which drooped limply on his forehead, indicating the great mental pressure he was under.

But even so.

The pair of eyes hidden behind the thick lenses still maintained the outline called "stubborn".

There was no sign of her wanting to give up. At this moment, Ise Nanao seemed to have overcome the fear in her heart and chose to stand bravely behind Kyoraku Shunsui.

——Just watching nothing will change, and in the end you will just keep losing.

I have done similar things in the past...

You should not just stand behind others. If you have ideas and intentions, you should speak them out loud, even if it means resisting authority or standing against everyone.

Ise Nanao was awakened by nightmares more than once in the middle of the night. The scene of the man being executed kept circling in her mind...

If I could be braver.

If I could express myself more firmly.

Even if I can't save Arima Shizuya, maybe I can make her die less lonely...

Today's facts have proved that Arima Shizuya's judgment was correct. In other words, the entire Soul Society is the perpetrator.

The Gotei 13, who claim to be righteous, condescendingly decide the life and death of a good man.

And he just watched, and now he even sat in the position of vice-captain of the first team with peace of mind.

Are you kidding...

There is nothing right about this!
Ise Nanao's breathing became heavier and heavier, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably, but she was still able to stubbornly maintain a standing posture.

I don’t want to turn a blind eye to any more unreasonable things, and I don’t want to hide behind others like this anymore…

Even though I'm so weak.

There are also things that you need to protect!
"Captain, don't... don't just stand there!"

The smile on Kyoraku Shunsui's face spread like autumn water, and he found that he seemed to have underestimated this "niece".

In fact, she is no worse than others.

The baby birds will eventually spread their wings and fly high, but before that... all you need to do is be patient.

"I feel a little relieved, Nanao-chan~"

"What are you talking about at a time like this...wait, be careful!"

Robert Ajutron's figure flashed like a ghost. He was not hit by Ise Nanao's ghost technique, and at this moment he found the "right" time to attack.

He rushed directly to the side of Kyoraku Shunsui like a poisonous snake.

Emerald green spirit-like things appeared on its body, and the wing-like appearance looked quite strange. There were also bright ring-like things on its hands and feet.

Complete Eucharistic State·God’s Steps.

With his enhanced speed and extraordinary mobility, Robert's sneak attack ability is second to none even among the Stern Cross Knights!
(Although he was beaten to death by Yhwach, this guy knew what Sainthood meant. He was a veteran and was also the one who took the initiative to approach him.)
Extremely tricky angles, undefendable bullets.

Even if we can't take his life, we should at least be able to take some 'trophies'.

However, something unexpected happened.

The bullet easily broke through Kyoraku Shunsui's defense, crushing his two swords, lapels, chest... everything!
An unexpected reward? Not true.

It is an illusion like a mirage.

"Do you think I'd be defenseless?"

Robert's shadow began to twist, and a long blade shot out from it like lightning, stabbing Robert's back.

"...!"

Turn sideways and move your shoulders.

The sharp and brisk pace is definitely something that only experienced warriors can do.

It should have been a fatal attack, but the opponent dodged it in such a strange way... In the end, it only cut an inch of flesh on the shoulder.

Kyoraku Shunsui slowly emerged from the shadows and tilted his head slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"You...are actually very strong, right?"

"I don't have the habit of bragging about my opponents. Everything I say is based on facts."

"You know, although I'm not a very powerful guy, if you meet me for the first time... Hua Tian Kuang Gu's little tricks are still easy to fool people."

But you, were able to react so quickly that you even avoided the attack of the 'Shadow Ghost' with just a tiny price.

It’s not easy.

The captain's speech was quite modest.

However, Robert did not respond immediately.

"..."

He just looked at the wound on his shoulder in silence, his lips slightly pursed.

"How did you know my ability?"

God's steps.

Without any prior preparation, Robert was confident that this move would even prevent the guards from reacting in time.

The ability to excel in speed is itself the result of specialization, but not only did the opponent not fall for it, he even arranged a sneak attack in advance...

Intelligence leak?

Is there a traitor among the Knights?

Things seemed to become complicated in an instant, but even so, Robert Ajutron still did not show the slightest sign of panic.

After all, no matter what the situation is here, it's just a "prize".

The purpose of this attack was ultimately to target a certain role model not far away...

coming.

boom! ! !
Along with a surge of spiritual pressure rising into the sky, a torrent visible to the naked eye came like a tsunami, and like a burst dam, it washed away the heat wave and filled the entire Soul Society!
No matter how tense the confrontation is, everyone will put down what they are holding and look in that direction involuntarily.

That extremely vivid sense of presence makes it impossible to be ignored.

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his head slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Is the old man going to take action too? That's really..."

Robert Ajutron glanced at him, but his tone became somewhat sarcastic.

"Is that what you rely on? It is indeed very powerful, even more terrifying than a thousand years ago... But, that's all."

Without waiting for him to continue, Kyoraku Shunsui sighed softly and half turned his head.

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni will surely perish today... Is that what you wanted to say?"

He said with a smile.

"You've taken the bait, no matter what."

It’s still that guy called Youhabach.
