Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

"If you want Soul Hunting materials, go and catch them yourself."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi had no intention of handing the Soul Hunter captives over to Kisuke Urahara.

“I knew it would turn out like this.” Kisuke Urahara shrugged helplessly. “It was the right choice for me to come along.”

If he hadn't come this time, he probably wouldn't have been able to participate in the 'Soul Hunt' research through normal channels in the future.

“If Kisuke is interested in Soul Hunters, then come with me to the Naruki region. The leader of the Soul Hunters should be in the Naruki region.”

Having just received some valuable items from Mayuri Kurotsuchi in July, I felt a little embarrassed to hand over the Soul Hunter prisoners that Mayuri Kurotsuchi had helped capture to Kisuke Urahara.

"Any other information about Soul Hunters? We can't miss that!"

Kisuke Urahara nodded, deciding to capture a Soul Hunter himself.

“The Soul Hunters are well hidden, and we don’t have any concrete information yet,” Mayuri Kurotsuchi said sarcastically. “The captain and I are both wearing ‘artificial bodies’ when we’re out there. If you go there looking like that, you might alert the Soul Hunters.”

Mayuri Kurotsuchi covets Kisuke Urahara's position as deputy director, and there's always a bit of tension between the two when they're together.

"Oh, so we need to wear artificial bodies to move around together..." Kisuke Urahara smiled slightly, "Luckily I was prepared!"

He took out a cultivation chamber that simulated the current world environment from his spiritual space pocket.

Inside lay a replica of Kisuke Urahara.

"What!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi, seeing that the culture chamber was exactly the same as the one he had modified, quickly realized the problem and flew into a rage. "When did you make this?!"

This culture chamber was a temporary, transitional product that he tested temporarily; it was never mass-produced!

Kisuke Urahara, however, produced the exact same item.

"Oh dear... Don't be so angry, Third Prince..." Kisuke Urahara scratched the back of his head. "I just happened to see the documents you left in the common room... I thought the plan was good, so I took it and used it."

"I have never taken experimental data to a public laboratory!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was furious; he was not about to take this data outside the laboratory.

Not to mention, Mayuri Kurotsuchi never recorded any data about this culture chamber.

It's obvious that Kisuke Urahara went into his laboratory, saw the incubation chamber and the artificial body, and then replicated it!

"Hmph, my lab isn't a place where just anyone can come in. The security measures in the lab need to be upgraded!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi decided to upgrade the security measures in his laboratory when he returned, to guard against someone's excessive curiosity.

"The defense level of Nemesis's laboratory is already very high, is there any need to upgrade it?" Kisuke Urahara chuckled. "It's such a waste of money!"

"That's because I couldn't guard against you," Mayuri Kurotsuchi said, pursing her lips.

What angered Mayuri Kurotsuchi the most was that he had actually broken into Kisuke Urahara's laboratory.

However, he was spotted by Kisuke Urahara on the spot.

Since then, the laboratory's protection level has been upgraded several times.

After Kisuke Urahara put on the artificial body, Akin silently took the two 'Soul Hunter' prisoners away.

"Wow, the Third Prince's tuning of the artificial body is truly masterful..." Kisuke Urahara stretched his body. "With just a few minor parameter adjustments, it can perfectly adapt to the spirit body!"

Nirvana's face darkened immediately. This guy was implying in a sarcastic way that the artificial body he had adjusted was not compatible with the spirit body.

"Heh... This is only the first test of the artificial body. Since Vice-Captain Urahara has already adjusted the compatibility of the artificial body..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled, "Does that mean that Vice-Captain Urahara has already tested it in the human world?"

Well...may I ask Vice Captain Urahara a question?

When did you go to the mortal realm, and did you obtain the captain's permission beforehand?

Death cannot go to the mortal world without the approval of his superiors.

If investigated, it would be a crime punishable by several years in prison.

"Ah... Don't try to pin this on me, Third Secretary! I have great respect for the Captain, how could I possibly go to the human world without his knowledge!" Kisuke Urahara said with a smile. "I specifically asked the Shinigami who went to the human world on a mission to help me with the testing."

Kisuke Urahara was always cautious in his actions, so naturally he wouldn't leave Mayuri Kurotsuchi with such a handle.

"Are you all ready? We should head to the Naruki region." July interrupted Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri's loving moment together.

Being the captain of two technical geniuses is not easy; their rivalry saves July a lot of trouble.

However, it is also important to avoid letting their conflicts interfere with important matters.

"Hopefully we can find the Soul Hunter successfully!"

"As long as you don't get in the way, those Soul Hunters won't cause any trouble."

...

In July, Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Kisuke Urahara arrived in the Naruki region.

Chapter 312 Reunion (Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Thank you all for your donations and votes!)

a week ago.

"Yes, we are already mature Grim Reapers."

Shiro Sōya stood on the watchtower of the outer city of Naruki, overlooking the entire outer city.

The walls built by the nobles of the inner city were higher than the watchtowers.

From this angle, the inner city cannot be seen from the city of Shima.

However, while the towering walls of the inner city could keep out civilians, they could not stop death.

I've also been to the inner city, and the atmosphere is similar to the noble streets of Seireitei, nothing special.

"is it?"

Lying on the rooftop, Tosen Kaname slowly said, "But I think that a mature Shinigami would never be late when on duty."

"Sorry! I took the wrong duty roster..." Shiro Sōya scratched his face awkwardly. "I thought we were going to patrol the outer suburbs first today, and I was waiting for you there..."

Sōya Azashiro has now passed the examination by the Kidō Sect examiners. They only need to wait for Isshin Shiba to give them scores to complete their graduation examination.

Today's patrol and duty mission was not under the official guidance of Death, and they needed to complete it independently.

However, the patrol mission is not difficult; you just need to follow the patrol procedures and do what you are supposed to do.

"Let's begin our patrol!" Mole City Shuang, who rarely comes to the real world, was in high spirits.

"That little shrine maiden is here." Tosen slowly stood up.

The little shrine maiden from the mountain shrine who lives next to the Grim Reapers often wanders around the outer city.

The Grim Reapers often see her when they patrol, and Souya Azashiro and Kaname Tosen have become quite familiar with her.

"Your intuition is so sharp! I hadn't even noticed her yet!"

"Zhicheng Shuang also sighed."

That little shrine maiden has the ability to see spirits, but her spiritual pressure fluctuations are negligible. Even if you stand in front of her and carefully sense her, you can only perceive her weak spiritual pressure.

"Lord God!"

The little witch came running over.

"Miss Yakumo, did you discover anything today?"

Mole City Shuang also asked in a friendly manner.

The little witch practically became Death's informant, frequently providing him with information about souls that needed to be guided.

After learning that the little shrine maiden had extensive connections in the Naruki region, Soujiro asked her to help investigate something.

"My Lord, there's been progress on the matter you asked me to investigate!" the little priestess said hurriedly.

"You had her investigate the disappearance of souls?" Tosen Kaname frowned. "She's just a little girl. Why did you have her investigate information about the Hollows? That's too dangerous."

“I certainly won’t let her get directly involved,” Shi Cheng Shuang also shook his head. “I’ll just have her ask the well-informed residents here to find out which other families have experienced the same thing.”

Several strange things have happened in the Naruki area recently.

Generally speaking, after a human dies, the souls that have not yet gone to the Soul Society will stay at the place of their death or wander to places they frequented in their previous life.

But the little witch said she had recently encountered several special cases where the souls of people who had recently died could not be found.

Shiro also felt that these examples were likely related.

There is probably a Hollow that hasn't been discovered by the Grim Reapers yet, hunting human souls in the city.

“My Lord God, I have found a total of twenty-one places where similar things have happened, and in all of these places, souls have disappeared.” The little witch took out a roll of straw paper from her pouch.

"Miss Yakumo is really popular; she found out so much information in just one or two days," Souya Azashiro praised.

"It is my honor to be able to help the God!"

The little witch was so happy to receive praise from Death that she almost jumped for joy.

Mole City Shuang also unfolded the straw paper and looked at it. The little witch had drawn a simple map on it, and marked the twenty-one places she had found on the simple map.

"Yes, let's search all these places today and see if we can find any clues."

Shiro also looked at Higashikata.

"Since we're going to patrol anyway, it won't hurt to patrol along this route."

Tosen had no objections.

"Thank you, Miss Yakumo. There might be a soul-devouring 'youkai' hiding in the city. You should go back to the shrine as soon as possible," said Souya Azajo with a smile.

Humans do not understand the concept of "void" and think it is just a monster from a legend. Therefore, when communicating with humans, Soujiro uses "monster" as a substitute for "void".

...

Following the simple map provided by the little shrine maiden, Souya Mochijo and Kaname Tosen carefully searched the city.

"That's not right... I couldn't sense any spiritual pressure fluctuations from the Hollow at all." Azashiro Souya looked troubled. "But souls don't just disappear for no reason..."

"It must be a Hollow that is very good at hiding."

Kaname Tosen also believed that there was a void that was hunting human souls.

“The void won’t stay in one place.” Shiro Souya looked at the hastily drawn map, then his eyes suddenly lit up. “Hey, have you noticed? All these people died in the water!”

"Hmm... do you think the Hollow might be hiding in the water?" Tosen asked.

“I think it’s in an underground river! Humans in the present world dig wells to draw water from underground rivers, and the wells in the city are connected to underground rivers.” Souya Azajo’s tone became more and more certain. “The souls of these humans who died in the water were hunted by the Void, which is hidden in the underground river!”

“It’s possible…” Tosen nodded. “If that Hollow is hiding in the underground river, it’s normal that we can’t find it in the city.”

"We need to find the entrance to an underground river first."

There were many wells in the city, and Shiro and Tosen found one and jumped in.

The two followed the water source and, just as they had suspected, found that the well water was connected to an underground river.

I was underground, surrounded by complete darkness.

Mole City Shuang also conjured a luminous ghost path in his hand.

"There's such a wide underground river!"

Following the water source, Soya Mochi and Kaname Tosen arrived at a wide, dark river.

“If the real and the fake are hiding here, your ghostly path will make us a target.”

Tosen warned.

"That's true..."

Shiro Sou also felt that Tosen's words made sense, so he quickly extinguished the ghostly power in his hand and carefully sensed the surrounding movements with his spiritual sense.

However, he was too late. The sudden light from the dark riverbed had already attracted what was hidden deep within.

"It's an illusion!"

Tosen Kaname and Shizushiro Sou also sensed the approaching spiritual pressure fluctuations, which were ethereal spiritual pressure fluctuations.

hiss--

A water snake several meters long lunged at the two of them.

Dongxian immediately drew his sword, and a streak of light slashed towards the water snake.

call out--

The water snake was extremely agile in the water; with a twist of its body, it dodged Tosen Kaname's slash.
