The Alchemist in Bleach

After standing there for a while and thinking, Ichiro shook his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind. There was no use thinking about it now; he would just study it slowly.

Thinking it over, Ichiro carefully collected and sealed the Hogyoku fragments, then placed them on a spirit particle vessel to analyze the data, occasionally dripping a few drops of liquid onto it.

This was the method Ichiro used to analyze the structure of spirit particles after he lost his alchemy. Now that he has regained his alchemy, he can analyze them more easily.

However, this is not entirely useless. The data obtained can be compared with that derived from alchemy, which can sometimes yield unexpected results.

After a busy half-day, the four of them gathered together again, and they summarized the data they had analyzed for Ichiro.

Ichiro pondered for a moment and then instructed, "World, you prepare to make the Hogyoku again, but this time we'll change it. Make one using the normal process, one using alchemy, and one using your own abilities. The materials should be ready within half a month, right?"

"Yes, we have plenty of materials left over from making the Hogyoku. Besides, even if we don't have enough, we can dismantle the Complete Technique equipment."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Ichiro nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yue Ling beside him and handed her four Hogyoku fragments, one large and three small, saying, "Yue Ling, could you please make a trip and give these to your brother Kamui? The large one is his, and the small ones are for trading with Eva so she can organize a force to deal with Hueco Mundo. You'll be responsible for the specific terms, and the usage method... well, let's just give them to Kamui directly. Anyway, the method of using them yourself is different from giving them to others. Just give them to Kamui directly, and also set a usage period for him."

Although this thing lacks self-awareness, frequent use in a short period of time still poses significant risks.

"Understood, Father."

"Lord Ichiro, you intend to deal with Aizen? With Eva and the others' strength, they probably wouldn't be enough, would they?"

"It's definitely not enough. Dealing with Hueco Mundo is not the goal; the main purpose is to gather intelligence."

The world frowned; she understood what Ichiro meant.

"You mean, the Arrancar? You want to estimate the status of the Hogyoku in Aizen's possession by using the number of Arrancar?"

"Hmm, the defenses over there are much tighter now. We need to give Xu Wu a chance to get in."

"But under the current circumstances, would Aizen still risk conducting Hollowfication experiments in the Seireitei?"

"He's definitely going to conduct the Hollowfication experiment, but whether it's in Rukongai or he'll capture people and take them to Hueco Mundo is unclear. But it's always good to be on the safe side, just in case. Anyway, all these Hogyoku fragments are going to be sent to Kamui, so we can use some of them to make a deal with Eva. Otherwise, that kid will definitely give them all to his mother Eva and his other brothers. That ungrateful little ingrate."

Upon hearing this, both World and Moon Spirit laughed, but Zhi, who was standing to the side, was a little confused. What did he mean by other brothers and sisters?

That guy named Kamui must be a Hollow, right?

And the mother?

Is that Kamui different from them?

And why is the attitude towards Kamui's brothers and sisters different? Aren't they all... fathers?

The more Zhi thought about it, the heavier his heart became. Was a sword no longer enough for his father? Even a Hollow... and that Hollow had several children, and the children's father wasn't Ichiro...

Oh my god... what kind of family do I live in... are they really that good at having fun?

Leaving aside the strange mood of Tomokazu, after listening to Ichiro's explanation, Yue Ling smiled and nodded, then put away the Hogyoku fragments and tidied up some things on the table next to her.

"Hmm? Yue Ling, aren't you going? I remember opening the hidden black cavity was easy for you, right?"

"I have some things to do with the team, I'll go later."

"Okay, fine, as long as it's delivered, that's fine. Hiss~~ Whew~~~" Ichiro stretched and yawned, then looked at the time and walked towards the door. "Alright, let's dismiss everyone for now. We'll talk about the next phase of the experiment once the world is ready. I'm going to see the captain."

"Yes, Lord Ichiro (Father)."

Ichiro waved his hand, leisurely walked out of the laboratory, and then headed towards the captain's office. He had some good news to report that he couldn't wait to share. He had been holding it in for almost decades, and it was finally done!

......

"Huh? Feiyun? What are you doing in the team? Aren't you off today?" On his way to the captain's office, Ichiro ran into his best friend, who was also an extra, and asked in surprise. He would never see her on holidays, so it was rare to run into her in the team.

"Oh, well, I, um, I'm here to find Lily of the Valley, um, to find Lily of the Valley."

"..." Ichiro looked speechlessly at his friend, who was clearly feeling guilty. At this moment, he really wanted to ask her if she really thought he was stupid.

Moreover, putting aside the obvious guilty conscience on your face, the reasons you gave were very unreliable.

You two had the same break time, so you came to the team to find her?

Shouldn't they go to the team barracks?

However, Ichiro didn't delve into it. Girls are hard to fathom; it would be a miracle if you could figure them out. Judging from her expression, she's probably here to see someone she likes. That explains her expression.

Normally he would definitely gossip about it, but today, let's just forget about it.

Therefore, Ichiro glanced at it speechlessly and said, "Well, Suzuran should be at the Kido Research Bureau at this time, right next to it. You should be able to find her if you go there now."

"Lily of the valley? Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, the extra's best friend walked past Ichiro in the direction he came from. Ichiro watched her back speechlessly. Did she forget that made-up excuse so quickly?

Also, he really wanted to tell his supporting actress best friend that the Ghost Path Research Bureau was in another direction...

Shaking his head, Ichiro put the thought out of his mind and continued walking towards the captain's office.

.......

"team leader?"

"Ichiro? Weren't you doing an experiment?" The captain put down the documents in his hand, looked up and looked at Ichiro peeking in through the door with a puzzled expression.

"The experiment is temporarily over, Captain~ Are you free now?"

"..." The captain looked speechlessly at Ichiro, whose head was the only part of his body peeking out of the room, and instinctively pressed her hand to her temple. "Yes, come in first and we'll talk."

"Alright~ Huh? Yuon's here too?"

"Hello, Third Seat of Tianxin".

Ichiro nodded and looked at the captain. So, the choice has been made?

"Yongyin came to assist me with team affairs, which is a way for her to familiarize herself with the work in advance."

Upon hearing this, Ichiro rested his right hand on his left, stroked his chin, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "So, Vice-Captain Seinosuke is going to be removed from his post?"

"It's not really a promotion, it's just a transfer to the Shin-O Medical Center."

"Tsk~ That's really pitiful~"

"Alright, never mind whether he's busy or not, what brings you here?" the captain said irritably. If it weren't for Ichiro's lazy nature, she would have retired long ago and wouldn't need to be so busy.

Well, as the saying goes, those involved are often blinded while bystanders see clearly. Clearly, the captain didn't realize that she had been unconsciously influenced by Ichiro and had begun to crave a carefree, easy life...

Ichiro, unaware of his captain's thoughts, confidently replied upon hearing the captain's question, "I want to change my name!"

"Sure, there's no rule in Seireitei that forbids changing names." The captain asked, surprised. Did she really need to report such a small matter to her? "What name do you want to change it to?"

"Ten-shin, Eight Thousand Streams!"

Captain: "...Change what? Say it again?"

"Ten-shin, Eight Thousand Streams!"

Captain: "No!"

"I am confident, extremely confident!"

"No!"

"My swordsmanship is now excellent; the special training I mentioned to you before has been successful."

"No!"

"My swordsmanship was able to temporarily overpower Senior Sword God!"

"No... Huh? What did you say? You? Swordsmanship, overwhelming Wang Yue? Are you sure you weren't using a bit of the Ghostly Path?"

"Captain, can you trust me a little more?"

"Could you please stop wasting my swordsmanship...?"

"Ahem~ I'm really confident this time! Don't believe me? Watch me demonstrate!"

After saying that, Ichiro calmed his mind, threw a piece of paper into the air, and then gently placed his right hand on the Yachiryu no Tsurugi. A glint flashed in his eyes, and several sword lights disappeared in a flash!

Looking at the paper in the air, it has slowly dispersed and been cut into five characters—Ten Shin Eight Thousand Streams!

The captain stood up in shock, raised her hand slightly, and caught the five words that were slowly falling. Her fingers carefully touched the edge of the paper, feeling the traces of sword energy on it.

There's no mistake, that was definitely swordsmanship!

Not the path of ghosts!

And it's a very strong swordsmanship!

But that doesn't make sense!

He's Ichiro!

That Ichiro who can turn swordsmanship into something like Kido!

"How did you do that?" At this point, the captain had no interest in playing the denial game with Ichiro anymore. He looked at Ichiro with a face full of doubt. Ichiro shouldn't have such talent in swordsmanship.

"Well, it's a long story~ please allow me~"

To make a long story short...

"Alright, I've modified my body, transforming it into the form it takes after practicing countless sword techniques."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Chapter 226 I don't care what you think, I care what I think!

"..." The captain sighed deeply, gently touching her forehead with her delicate hand. She knew it...

Ichiro is still the same Ichiro... What kind of swordsmanship is this...?

"How did you come up with that?" the captain asked curiously, sighing.

Putting aside her personal feelings about swordsmanship, from a purely combat perspective, Ichiro's method is indeed quite good, because no matter what, having a sword is always better than being empty-handed.

"This idea was mainly inspired by Kenpachi."

"Zaraki?"

"Yeah, you know Captain Kenpachi too. That guy isn't good at kendo either. He was kicked out after only three days of instruction from the Captain-Commander. It's hilarious."

"..." The captain stared speechlessly at the man opposite him who had been hacked down by the Captain-Commander's sword in such a short time, wondering where he got the confidence to mock Kenpachi...

Of course, she had to admit that Kenpachi was good at wielding a sword, but in terms of swordsmanship, he wasn't that great. You could give him a stick and he'd be just as good. Kenpachi relied on his terrifying spiritual pressure and his beast-like fighting instincts.
