The Alchemist in Bleach

"So, Captain, may I?"

"After you create it, will you ignore it? Will you look down on it from a superior position?"

Of course not!

"That's settled then, so Ichiro, just go ahead and do it." The captain gently patted Ichiro's head.

"Um, Captain, you're not a child anymore, could you please stop patting my head?"

"Okay, let's go. You've come all this way, have a meal with me." After saying that, the captain patted Ichiro's head again and then walked outside.

'If you understand, then show it in your actions...' With a sigh, Ichiro followed the captain out.

Along the way, Ichiro's appearance drew gasps from everyone, while Ichiro awkwardly responded with repeated calls of "God of Medicine".

"Looks like I really need to come back more often in the future, it's too awkward."

"Really? I thought the God of Healing liked it quite a bit."

Ichiro gave a wry smile and replied, "Captain, please don't belittle me. I know I was wrong, and I'll definitely come back often in the future."

"I didn't mean that. You can come back or not, it's not like anyone cares if you come back."

"Captain, you can't say that. I'm the third seat in the team, an indispensable member!"

The captain glanced at Ichiro: "Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. You're the third seat in the team, not Sekai. I have to say, you really did something to make Sekai do so many things for you."

"In all honesty, this has nothing to do with me!" Upon hearing this, Ichiro immediately raised his right hand and said with a slightly aggrieved expression.

"If it has nothing to do with you, then what does it have to do with me?"

"This really does have something to do with you, Captain! Didn't you tell her before that you needed to teach her to say no to me? And then Shijie immediately put that knowledge into practice and said no to me when I told her not to do these things..."

"..." The captain looked at Ichiro speechlessly, "Really?"

"Erhu!"

"...What kind of nonsense are you spouting now..."

"Hehe, in my hometown dialect, saying this means I won't lie. There's a saying that even if you make a thousand or ten thousand solemn oaths, it's not as convincing as a single lie!"

The captain smiled and shook his head, continuing to walk forward: "What kind of nonsense is this? I don't know what's so great about you that makes the world treat you like this."

"What do you mean by 'what's good about me? What's bad about me'?"

Is there anything about you that you're not lacking?

"Probably not."

"Ah……"

……

After having a meal with Captain World and the others, Ichiro quickly returned to the Technology Development Bureau to begin the creation of life.

Strictly speaking, this was Ichiro's first real creation of life. The Demon Dragon relied more on Asauchi's inherent mechanism for nurturing souls. Kamui Ichiro merely adjusted and perfected its life form. Tsukishiro Ichiro didn't have much involvement... He came out after finishing the drawing. The Void Beast was just a biological weapon and, strictly speaking, wasn't life.

So Ichiro has never actually created life; he didn't dare to use the old alchemy, and he still doesn't dare to use the new one.

But now, he dares!

After quickly returning to his office, Ichiro took out a document heavily sealed by Kido from his drawer. This document contained several possibilities for creating intelligent life. The reason for the multiple seals was not to protect others, but to protect Ichiro himself. He was afraid that he might act impulsively, and these seals would at least provide a buffer.

However, Ichiro forgot one thing: this data was originally recorded in his mind...

This behavior is like you thinking that clearing your browsing history will achieve what Brother Jie (a popular online figure) expects. Little do you know, the real address and the way to find it are still perfectly stored in your mind...

However, Ichiro's self-deception has had some effect; at least for so long, he hasn't crossed that line.

Of course, he would think about it, so the first thing Ichiro did after opening the file was to add his own ideas from this period of time to it...

In general, there are two ways to create this intelligent life. One is like resurrection, where a wisp of spirit is pulled from between worlds. Because it has no original body, it has no memories of its previous life, which is more like a reincarnation.

This is the biggest difference between Ichiro's and the monk's resurrection.

This method is relatively simple, but because it involves reincarnation, it is too random, meaning it has limitations due to innate talent, and may not meet the requirements of intelligent life.

While he could use sheer numbers to overpower Ichiro, that would obviously go against Ichiro's will, so he had a second option.

Artificially creating a wisp of spirituality!

Ichiro also possesses the technique for creating spirituality, which he used when creating the demon dragon. Simply put, it involves filling the brain with a large amount of memories after the body is fully constructed, and then guiding it. Gradually, spirituality will be nurtured.

Ichiro is also planning to use this method, but unlike the demonic dragon, the body of an intelligent life form is just a program, so there are some details that still need to be considered...

After thinking for a while, Ichiro picked up a spirit chip, closed his eyes, and a white light slowly shone in his hand. He began to inject data and spiritual pressure into it to cultivate spirituality.

Ichiro was extra careful this time; he didn't want to raise another dimwitted dragon.

……

Time flew by as Ichiro was engrossed in his research, and soon, six months had passed.

After half a year of hard work, Ichiro finally created intelligent life perfectly. However, before he could even rejoice, a terrifyingly hot spiritual pressure shot into the sky from afar!

Its intense, furious spiritual pressure even made the entire Seireitei tremble!

"Commander-in-Chief?! Holy crap! Has Vasto Lorde broken in?" Ichiro stared in shock at the direction of the First Division, a bead of cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead. He wasn't unfamiliar with the Commander-in-Chief's abilities, but he had never witnessed such power from him...

Back then, even when the remnants of the Quincy—the Onmyoji—had stormed into the Seireitei, the Captain-Commander hadn't unleashed this kind of power. At this moment, Ichiro deeply realized the terror of this strongest Shinigami in a thousand years!

restraint?

The battle between Shinigami is not about who has special abilities and who can win. If your spiritual pressure is not high enough, everything is in vain!

Without a second thought, Ichiro quickly put away the spirit chip that carried the intelligent life, abandoning the idea of ​​waking it up, and then set off for the First Division.

Go stop the Commander-in-Chief!

Yes, stop the Commander-in-Chief!

Honestly, I don't care whether the Captain-Commander is facing a rebellious Shinigami or Kyōichirō, because if they really fight, they'll die anyway. What Ichirō is worried about is that the enraged Captain-Commander might lose his mind and go all out!

At that point, everyone will be in danger...

It's important to know that the Captain-Commander's Bankai, Zanka Tachi, would slowly evaporate the entire Soul Society just by sitting still! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the most powerful Zanpakuto!

If he were allowed to go all out and act recklessly, the tragedy from hundreds of years ago would inevitably repeat itself. You must know that the damage caused by the Zanpakuto during the fight with Yhwach hundreds of years ago has not yet been fully repaired. If it happened again, it would be a death sentence.

Ichiro wasn't the only one who thought of this. Before he set off, the Fourth Division, Sixth Division, Eighth Division, and Thirteenth Division all had a powerful spiritual pressure rise up and then headed towards the First Division at the same time.

There's also Kenpachi from the 11th Division, but he went to the wrong place...

Let's not talk about it...

"Ichiro, what happened?"

"I don't know. There's no news from the Riding team yet. It seems we need to optimize this aspect further."

After listening, Urahara nodded and quickened his pace with Ichiro, heading towards the First Division.

A while later, Ichiro and Urahara arrived at the scene. When they saw the person confronting the Captain-Commander, Ichiro's pupils shrank. Before coming, he had considered many possibilities, such as the invasion of the Hollows, the rebellion of the nobles, or even the attack of the Quincy.

However, he never expected that the person standing on the opposite side of the Captain-Commander would be Teacher Kirinji!

Beside Kirinji stood a gloomy young man with dark green hair, dressed in noble attire on the outside and a shihaka (death knight's robe) underneath.

Ichiro and Urahara exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

It's obvious that Kirinji came to recruit that young man into the Zero Division, but for some reason, the Captain-Commander refused, and there might not even be any room for reconciliation, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry.

Thinking it over, the two quickly rushed forward. By this time, the other captains had all arrived. Ichiro and Urahara each rushed to Captain Unohana and Yoruichi's side.

"Captain, who is that person? Why is the Commander-in-Chief so angry?"

"Tsunayoshi Tokitoki, a student of the Captain-Commander, why would the Zero Division be looking for him?"

"Tsunayoshiro Tokitoshi?" Ichiro's eyes narrowed. He knew this person. Years ago, he was kicked out of the 13th Division by the Captain-Commander for making a mistake, and his Zanpakuto was also confiscated. Moreover, according to Tenshingetsu, this filial son seemed to be planning to destroy the Tsunayoshiro family!

However… if the Zanpakuto was confiscated, then that one is the Enra Kyōden of the Tsunayō family? That ancestral Zanpakuto that is said to be able to replicate other Zanpakuto…

Ichiro looked at the Zanpakuto clasped at Tsunayoshi's waist and murmured, "Perhaps it's for that Enra Mirror Scripture..."

"Isn't that a mimic Zanpakuto?" The captain looked at Ichiro with a puzzled expression. She had noticed the sword before, but she had assumed it was a mimic Zanpakuto and hadn't paid much attention to it.

It's not surprising that the captain would have such thoughts. Firstly, the technology of mimicking Zanpakuto is not particularly difficult to obtain. Secondly, the Enra Mirror Classic is the ancestral Zanpakuto of the Tsunayo family, and only the current head of the family is qualified to wield it. Tsunayo is not even the heir, let alone the head of the family, so how could he possibly possess it?

However, the captain also believed that Ichiro was not mistaken, after all, he was the one who invented the mimicry Zanpakuto.

Now, the captain's gaze towards Tsunayoshi Tokito and Kirinji was a little strange. Did he bring this sword on purpose to intimidate the Thirteenth Division again?

After all, Yanluo Jingdian had already copied Ryujin Jakka's abilities, so there was no need to make a special trip.

While Ichiro was talking to the captain, on the other side, Kirinji looked at the imposing Captain-Commander not far away with a grim expression.

It wasn't because they were stopped; they had come to provoke the Captain-Commander and see his strength. Because of Ichiro's last five turns, the situation in Soul Society had changed once again…

Originally, as time went on, the Zero Division's fighting power would gradually surpass that of the Thirteenth Division. After all, no matter how strong the Captain-Commander is, he will grow old, unlike the immortal monk.

However, Ichiro's reply changed everything...

Number Ninety-Nine's Heavenly Decree removed any lifespan limit for the Captain-General. No one knows how much longer he can live; it could be a few hundred more years, or it could be forever...

Meanwhile, the "Ninety-Five Dead Trees Rejuvenate" technique allows the Captain to gradually recover to his best condition!

While a five-year promotion may seem insignificant compared to the hundreds of years that Shinigami typically experience, these five years could have a very different impact on the Captain-Commander...

And most importantly, according to Qilin Temple's deduction, the ten years mentioned in the story of the withered tree blossoming again are likely just a standard value!

Actual values ​​may vary!

For example, the power of the Hado Red Fire Cannon can be freely adjusted. At the same time, Kirinji Temple did not forget that the so-called chanting of the Dao was just a simplification and fixation of certain medical techniques by Ichiro to make it easier for others to learn.

In other words, the time it takes for Ichiro to personally perform the return path could very well be extended from ten years to several decades!

Decades is a considerable amount of time for Death.

That's why he brought Tsunayoshiro Tokitan to see the Captain-Commander even though he knew it would anger him; otherwise, he could have simply gone back like he did with recruiting Kuchiki Kyouga.

"Yamamoto! The Thirteenth Division has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Zero Division! That's the rule!"

"It's the rule to hand over your Zanpakuto after leaving the team! Furthermore, Tsunayoshi Tokishiro is a criminal from my Thirteenth Division, he is not qualified to be promoted to the Zero Division! Nor is he qualified to retrieve his Zanpakuto!"

Whether you're qualified or not isn't up to you to decide!

"In Team Thirteen, I'm the one who calls the shots!"

"boom!"
