Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"Captain Soi-Fong, the following conversation will be about the secrets of the Kuchiki family."

"Please don't spread it outside."

Hearing the old man's tone become serious, Soi-Fong nodded seriously.

"Well, ever since the ancient cherry tree at the Kuchiki family blossomed again..."

"The Kuchiki clan patriarch's Zanpakutō are all related to Sakura."

Under Soi Fong's astonished gaze, Kuchiki Ginling slowly drew out her Zanpakutō:

"Fall, Ryuukakura—"

The wind blew, and large pieces of cherry blossoms fell down.

Unlike Kuchiki Byakuya's [Senbonzakura], Kuchiki Ginling's [Ryuzakura] did not scatter and shatter into thousands of sharp fragments like petals.

The Zanpakutō still maintained its shallow-strike shape, but cherry blossom petals were flying around the blade.

"My Zanpakutō, Ryuo, is very beautiful, isn't it?"

Kuchiki Ginling smiled, raised his Zanpakutō, and said:

"When I was young, I was quite shy. I was surprised that the head of the family could have such a tender Shikai."

“As I got older, I began to appreciate the elegance of this knife.”

"In this regard, Byakuya is much stronger than me."

Xiumu Yinling was intoxicated and said:

"The strong should use pink."

Broken Bee: ...

Old man, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Where is the cool attitude you have been maintaining?

As if noticing Soi-Fong's gaze, Kuchiki Gin-ling coughed lightly and said:

"You may not understand it at first glance, but this is actually a Kidō-type Zanpakutō."

He waved his hand casually, and the petals near the blade began to fly faster.

The invisible spiritual pressure turned into a slashing blow, instantly cutting the cherry blossoms ten meters in front of him into pieces, revealing the land underneath.

"The simple blessing of spiritual pressure will be strengthened into a sharp wind-attribute slash."

"Used in conjunction with Po Dao, it is even more effective."

Nodding, Soi-Feng exclaimed in admiration:

"It is indeed a powerful Zanpakutō."

She waited for Kuchiki Ginling's next words.

The head of the Kuchiki family went to great lengths to bring Soi Fong to the Kuchiki family's [forbidden area], where she saw the half-rotten cherry tree.

He also displayed the Sakura-style Zanpakutō, which has been passed down through the Kuchiki family.

There must be something he wants to express or show.

At this moment, a voice very similar to Kuchiki Byakuya's, but more gentle and kind, came:

"Father, you are really old."

"You keep rambling on about everything and you can't get to the point."

Kuchiki Byakuya's father, Kuchiki Sojun, came over with a tea tray.

He bowed and said:

"I'm sorry, Captain Soi-Feng, my father is old and likes to reminisce about the past."

He carried the rotten wood and silver bell on his back and suddenly mouthed quickly:

“(So much nonsense, so annoying!)”

Soi Fong:?

Good guy, a loving father and a filial son!

Kuchiki Sojun said in his gentle voice:

"I just listened to the general idea along the way."

"Actually, the reason why Father brought you here is very simple."

"The Kuchiki family's successor, the Shikai and Bankai of his Zanpakutō, were all realized beneath this half-rotten cherry tree."

"And they are all related to [Sakura]."

"Since the establishment of the Sixth Division, there have been no exceptions."

Chapter 206: Kuchiki Family's Investment

After hearing this, Soi Fong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this place was the Kuchiki family's [forbidden area].

If enlightenment can really be achieved under the tree, and if Bankai can also be achieved in this way...

She looked up.

The ugly cherry tree with a withered trunk in front of her suddenly became tall and majestic in Soi Fong's eyes.

Wow, this is the Bodhi tree where Buddha attained enlightenment, and the Soul Society branch tree!

Kuchiki Ginrin's [Ryuzakura], Kuchiki Byakuya's [Senbonzakura].

They are all Zanpakutō with extremely powerful abilities.

Furthermore, just now, Kuchiki Sojun had clearly just entered this garden, but he said that he had "listened all the way"...

Soi Fong could sense a subtle spiritual pressure that almost blended with the surroundings, lingering in Kuchiki Sojun's ears.

She speculated that Kuchiki Sojun's Zanpakutō might be related to cherry blossoms and have the ability to hear the slightest movement.

From this perspective, none of the three generations of the Kuchiki family are weak with their Zanpakutō.

When thinking of the word "vegetable" for Zanpakuto, Soi Fong inexplicably thought of a bald guy in her own squad.

She suddenly felt a little guilty:

"Alas, Ikkaku and the others have recovered from their injuries, but I haven't gone to see them yet."

"I have to make it up to Yumichika. I cut off both of the unfortunate kid's feet..."

Shaking the thought out of her mind, Soi-Fong thought:

The third generation Zanpakutō of the Kuchiki family has a Shikai ability that is at least at the vice-captain level.

If I were to reflect on this under the tree...

Soi-Feng turned to look at Kuchiki Gin-ling, the person with the most influence in the conversation.

"Mr. Kuchiki, what you mean is..."

Xiumu Yinling was an old and experienced person. He saw through Soi-Feng's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Captain Shattered Bee, it's not what you think."

"This tree may indeed have a positive impact on understanding, but that's not the decisive factor. The key lies in each individual's potential."

"Besides, we've already done experiments, and those who aren't of the Kuchiki family's bloodline won't be affected."

"Even if you change your name to Kuchiki, you will never understand the Shikai and Bankai of Sakura under this tree."

Soi Feng suddenly lost her temper.

She thought Xiu Mu Yin Ling was planning to let her try out her "Bodhi Enlightenment"...

Oh no, the cherry tree has enlightenment.

This way, you can release your Bankai in one go.

But think about it, if the Kuchiki family, whether human or dog, came to sit under the tree, he would at least be a vice-captain level Shikai.

The high-end combat power of the Kuchiki family would not have developed to its current state.

In Soi-Fong's perception, even though Kuchiki Ginling was very impressive just now, cherry blossoms flew and wind slashed out when she swung her sword.

He is only a third-class spiritual power and an ordinary captain.

Although he has lived for nearly a thousand years, he is already very old and has no possibility of making further progress.

Kuchiki Sojun is just an ordinary vice-captain. His ability is probably in the auxiliary direction, and his combat effectiveness lies entirely in his punches and running away.

In the original work, Byakuya Kuchiki is known as the strongest head of the Kuchiki family in history, which is reasonable.

Currently, Byakuya is only the third seat in the 11th Division.

But in terms of combat power alone, he can fight with many deputy captains.

At this time, Xiumu Yinling continued:

"Captain Soi-Fong, since you took office, the Kuchiki family and the 11th Division have been close, and the cooperation has been very pleasant."

"Plus, Byakuya is well taken care of by you, and his strength is improving rapidly."

"Today you are curious whether the Kuchiki family has secret techniques as powerful as the Shihoin and Shiba families."

"I have been thinking that you are a distinguished guest of the Kuchiki family and should not be neglected."

"So, I will return the favor by fully revealing to you the Kuchiki family's most worthy 'secret technique'."

The old man smiled and said sincerely:

“It may not work, but you can sit under the tree and reflect on it.”

"A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade."

"I hope this helps."

After hearing this, Soi-Feng couldn't help but sigh:

"Damn it, I owe you a big favor."

Xiu Mu Yin Ling was an experienced man, and he used an open strategy to make Shui Feng accept the favor without realizing it and willingly accept it.

Faced with Soi-Fong's casual and somewhat rude question, he could have just given a perfunctory answer or directly denied it.

But the old man in front of him had guessed Soi Fong's motives based on his daily observations.

Then, with the utmost sincerity, he showed the Kuchiki family's forbidden areas and "secret techniques".

Although I know that this is a gesture of goodwill and investment from the Kuchiki family.

He is optimistic about Soi Fong's future development in Soul Society and is paving the way for the future of Byakuya and the Kuchiki family.

But Xiu Mu Yin Ling is able to return to basics and make the investment sincere and genuine.

But it just so happens that Broken Bee only responds to soft things and not hard things.

So Soi-Feng smiled and accepted the gesture:

"Captain Kuchiki, I'm aware of your kindness. Thank you very much."

She turned her head to look at the half-rotten cherry tree and took a deep breath:

"Then I will..."

"Captain Shattered Bee, I have another unwelcome request."

Soi Feng almost suffocated.

This rotten old man is numb!

Can you please stop talking and breathing heavily?!

Seeing that Kuchiki Sojun also rolled his eyes implicitly, Soi Fong felt what it meant to sympathize with others.

It seems that Cang Chun has been enduring his father's nagging and gasping for breath mid-sentence for many years.

But Suifeng respected the old and loved the young, suppressing her frustration:

"Captain Kuchiki, please speak."

A slight smile appeared on Kuchiki Ginling's serious face, and he said:
