From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

On weekdays, we can only regard Captain Unohana Retsu as an imaginary enemy.

After his spiritual pressure reached the second level, Kujo Tachibana had already experimented through infinite simulations and found that his current spiritual pressure should be only slightly weaker than Unohana Retsu.

However, relying on the unique ability of his Zanpakutō "Infinity" and his kendo skills that are not inferior to Unohana Retsu, he is able to suppress him firmly!

In other words, among the current Gotei 13, except for the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, no other Shinigami can be his opponent.

Chapter 10 Dabai gets married

In the backyard of the Kuchiki clan's mansion, above the martial arts training ground.

I saw Kujo Tachibana slowly lower the Zanpakutō - Infinity in his hand from the neck of Byakuya Kuchiki, and said mockingly with a smile:

"Bai Zai, you want to beat me? You still have a hundred years to go!"

Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya simply rolled his eyes. When it comes to their real ages, it's hard to say who is older and who is younger.

I don't know what's going on with this guy Kujo Tachibana. When he wasn't familiar with him, he called him Byakuya politely, but after getting to know him better, he called him "Dabai" or "Xiao Byakuya" instead. Is he completely letting himself go?

Even though he protested countless times, it was of no use. This guy Kujo Tachibana just wouldn't change, and Kuchiki Byakuya had lost his temper.

Fortunately, it's not just him. This guy Kujo Tachibana has given many people weird nicknames or names.

For example, Kujo Tachibana calls Kisuke Urahara of the second squad "Manager Urahara".

The nickname of Ukitake Jushiro, the captain of the 13th Division, is a bit too much. Kujo Tachibana calls him a sickly person. Although this is true, it is not good to call him that in front of him, right?

Fortunately, this guy's reply really gave him some ability. A few years ago, he cured Ukitake Jushiro's lung disease! You know, this is a problem that even the captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu, couldn't solve.

Now that Ukitake Jushiro had gotten rid of his sickly physique, he didn't mind that Kujo Tachibana still called him that.

The captain of the 8th Division, "Kyōraku Shunsui", is often called the future captain-in-chief by Kujo Tachibana. Even the current captain-in-chief, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, is called "Old Man Yamamoto" by Kujo Tachibana behind his back.

Every time he heard Kujo Tachibana call the captain-general like that, Byakuya Kuchiki became a little frightened.

Isn’t he afraid of being heard by Captain Yamamoto?

Kuchiki Byakuya could only say that it was fortunate that this guy had not yet been promoted to vice-captain, and had not had the opportunity to follow Captain Unohana Retsu to the First Squadron for a meeting.

Otherwise, it would be interesting to hear such a remark during the meeting of the Gotei 13.

-

"Tachibana, I'm going to marry Hime." Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Kujo Tachibana and suddenly blurted out these words.

"Oh, I see. Have you dealt with all your family members? The main one is your grandfather, the old-fashioned Xiumu Yinling." Jiujo Tachibana sheathed his sword and asked casually.

"Tachibana, if it were you, what would you do?" Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Kujo Tachibana very seriously and asked.

After thinking for a while, Jiujo Tachibana said:

"Me? I've never listened to my grandfather, hahaha... Byakuya, the choice of the elders is just what they think is the right choice, but in life! There is no such thing as a right choice. Follow your own heart! Byakuya."

"As long as you don't leave yourself with regrets, then it's right."

After saying this, Kujo Tachibana suddenly became serious...

Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya's expression immediately relaxed.

Fortunately, in this corrupt Soul Society, there are people who understand him...

"Cough..." At this moment, a strange cough interrupted their conversation.

Looking at Kuki Yinling who was slowly approaching them, Jiujo Tachibana simply greeted him with a smile, not feeling embarrassed at all for calling him "old-fashioned".

Ignoring Kujo Tachibana's greetings, Kuchiki Ginling only looked at her eldest grandson, Kuchiki Byakuya, and said with a sigh, "Byakuya, fifteen days from now is a good day. I think you and Hima should get married on that day!"

"Grandpa..." Kuchiki Byakuya looked at his grandfather with surprise.

"Okay! Do I really have to be an old-fashioned person? Grandpa is old, and the future of the Kuchiki family will be handed over to you." Kuchiki Ginling glared at Kujo Tachibana on the side, then said this.

Jiujo Tachibana shrugged his shoulders and didn't interrupt.

...

Fifteen days later, the future successor of the Kuchiki clan, Byakuya Kuchiki, will get married.

All the nobles in the Seireitei and the main figures of the Gotei 13 put down what they were doing and came to the Kuchiki family's mansion to celebrate for them.

Watching Byakuya Kuchiki slowly walking out holding the hand of his fiancée, Kuchiki Hime.

Jiujo Tachibana couldn't help but think of a certain girl...

But at this moment, a hand stretched out from behind him and patted Kujo Tachibana's shoulder.

"Mr. Tachibana, have you ever been married in the real world?" Aizen put his arm around Kujo Tachibana's shoulders, and the two seemed to have a very close relationship.

"Guess what, little Aizen." Kujo Tachibana folded his arms across his chest, looked straight ahead and said casually, his posture seemed extremely relaxed.

There was only a barely perceptible hint of fear in Aizen's pupils hidden behind his glasses.

He really can't figure out this Jiujo Tachibana...

However, what Aizen could be sure of was that his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, had absolutely no effect on this guy!

Moreover, Aizen was very sure in his heart that Kujo Tachibana must have mastered Bankai, and even reached an extremely deep level. Even his spiritual pressure was estimated to be more than just the third level as he showed!

Aizen, who was still in his growth stage at this time, was somewhat helpless when facing Kujo Tachibana.

If he doesn't care about it, he's afraid that Kujo Tachibana's subsequent plans will cause him some unknown trouble.

But to be honest, Aizen was not sure if he could attack Kujo Tachibana.

If you provoke him, it will backfire.

So over the years, the two of them have maintained this peaceful state, and no one has disturbed the other.

Chapter 11 Bankai - Infinite World

One month after Byakuya Kuchiki and Hisahi got married, on this day Byakuya Kuchiki invited Kujo Tachibana to the Kuchiki family's training ground as usual.

...

"Tachibana, I want to tell you a piece of news." said Byakuya Kuchiki, holding his Zanpakuto.

"You have mastered Bankai, Byakuya." Kujo Tachibana casually drew out the Zanpakuto - Infinity from his waist and said lightly.

"Huh? How did you know?" Kuchiki Byakuya's face was full of disbelief.

You know, this happened just last night. On a whim, he suddenly realized the true name of the Warpakutō in his hand and initially mastered the first stage of Bankai.

-

Speaking of this, we have to mention the Zanpakutō's Bankai.

The learning of Bankai is divided into two stages: the first stage is to gain the full recognition of the Zanpakutō, so that it tells the God of Death its "real name". The God of Death fully learns Bankai by releasing the "real name" of the Zanpakutō.

Of course there are exceptions. Kujo Tachibana calls it half-Bankai!

For example, in the Bleach manga, Abarai Renji, his Zanpakutō "Jabimaru" did not fully recognize him at the beginning, and only told him part of the "real name" of his Bankai, so his "Baboon King Jabimaru" is not actually the complete form of his Bankai.

The second stage of Bankai is to further train and strengthen one's Bankai after learning it. In other words, there is still room for improvement in Bankai itself.

For example, Captain-General Yamamoto's Bankai "Zanka-dachi" has completely different moves and fighting methods compared to those thousands of years ago.

At this time, Kujo Tachibana had also advanced his infinite Bankai to the second stage, and his spiritual pressure had reached the second level.

There is no invincible Bankai in the world. Everyone's Bankai has its own unique characteristics and shortcomings.

But some disadvantages are common:

1. After Bankai, as the combat power leaps forward, the consumption of the Shinigami's own spiritual pressure is also rapid. Therefore, most Shinigami will not use Bankai at the beginning, but will use it when necessary. After activating Bankai, they will also seek a quick victory.

Second, because the shape and size of most Bankai are different from the usual perception of swords, most people need at least ten years of training to fully master Bankai. (Said by Byakuya Kuchiki in the manga).

-

Kujo Tachibana just smiled, pointed to the Zanpakuto in his hand, and said: "Byakuya, have you forgotten the name of my Zanpakuto? The moment you appeared in front of me, you no longer have any secrets."

Kuchiki Byakuya's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in shock:

"Have you mastered the Infinity to this extent? You must have mastered Bankai, right? Let me see it today! You, the unprecedented genius of Soul Society, what exactly is the Bankai you have mastered!"

Hearing this, Kujo Tachibana just smiled and said, "That depends on whether your 'Senbonzakura Jingyan' has the ability, Byakuya."

As Kujo Tachibana finished speaking, Byakuya Kuchiki also pointed the Zanpakutō in his hand at the ground.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageaki!"

The next second, the surrounding space suddenly became dark.

As the Zanpakutō in Byakuya Kuchiki's hand fell, the long sword stood upright and sank into the ripples on the ground and disappeared. Instead, there were thousands of huge blades rising up from the ground!

Then, these huge blades flew and scattered, and the number of cherry blossom blades reached hundreds of millions! They were spread all over the space, everywhere!

Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly raised his hands, and after his Bankai, the speed of these Sakura blades was four times the speed of his Shikai period, and they suddenly surrounded Kujo Tachibana who was still standing in the same place.

...

"Infinite Realm - Expand..."

Kujo Tachibana held his Zanpakutō in one hand while silently activating his Shikai.

As his senses magnified, the cherry blossom blades that were flying in front of Kujo Tachibana's eyes and densely covering the entire space suddenly became as slow as a snail.

His Shikai is actually not very aggressive and can be said to be a completely auxiliary Shikai. In fact, it has only one function, which is to greatly increase his own "infinite" perception and simulation capabilities within a certain range.

He even reached a level where he could spy on the abilities and true names of other Shinigami's Zanpakutō. This ability, combined with the swordsmanship skills he had honed over several worlds, meant that most Shinigami would have difficulty resisting him.

But the Bankai of Byakuya Kuchiki in front of him - Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, is indeed a bit difficult to deal with... The range of the aoe is too large, and the number of these blades is too large. Even with infinite precognitive simulation, it is difficult for him to penetrate this cherry blossom sword formation and hurt Byakuya Kuchiki's body.

Unless he directly reveals that he has reached the second level of spiritual pressure and uses force to break through.

But in this case, it would be better to reveal that he has mastered Bankai, right?

Although he already knew the result, Kujo Tachibana still couldn't help but shook his head.

Thinking about it this way, Byakuya Kuchiki's Bankai can still restrain his Shikai quite a bit. Is this considered firepower coverage, a saturation attack?

To be honest, among the Gotei 13 now, even if several captains have activated their Bankai, they would not be a match for him in the Shikai period, such as a certain unit of measurement - Captain Rokuguruma Kensei, or a certain Zipper Mouth - Hirako Makoto.

But Byakuya, who had just activated his Bankai - Senbonzakura Kageyo, was able to restrain him.

All I can say is, there is no invincible Zanpakuto, only invincible Death God!

Fortunately, he, Jiu Tachibana, has several tricks up his sleeve...

"Expand! Infinite world..."

Following the whisper of Jiujo Tachibana, the space that had just been stained black by the Thousand Sakura Jingyan quickly turned into a starry sky! This was a realm that the god of death had never set foot on, and the cherry blossom sword formation just now also disappeared.

Kujo Tachibana and Kuchiki Byakuya were only a hundred meters apart, standing quietly in the starry sky.

"What is this place?" There was already a look of horror in Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes.

"Byakuya, isn't it beautiful here? You must have never seen this scene! This is the battlefield background I chose for us. I can change it for you next time." Kujo Tachibana said with a smile, holding his Zanpakuto in his hand.

"Hmm..." Byakuya Kuchiki nodded subconsciously, but the next second, when he saw the Zanpakutō in Kujo Tachibana's hand, Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes had widened into bells!

"How did your Zanpakutō turn into Senbonzakura Kageyo!! Isn't this my sword!!" After saying this, Kuchiki Byakuya subconsciously looked at his hand.

Yes, that's right!

Or it was his own, so how could there be two identical Zanpakutō?

Kujo Tachibana just smiled and looked at Byakuya Kuchiki, without answering his question. He just turned the blade of the long sword in his hand upside down and made the same move as Byakuya Kuchiki just now...

"Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageaki!!"

Chapter 12 Illness

Looking at the countless cherry blossom blades that were drowning him, Kuchiki Byakuya only smiled bitterly and then gave up the pointless resistance...

At this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki really wanted to know whether Senbonzakura Kageaki was his Bankai or Kujo Tachibana's Bankai!!

How come the power that Kujo Tachibana used was so much greater than the one he used! !

...

Countless cherry blossom sword formations spread across the starry sky of the universe stopped neatly one meter away from Byakuya Kuchiki. With a wave of Kujo Tachibana's hand, the cherry blossom blades in the sky turned into powder and dissipated in the starry sky of the universe.

The next second, the Zanpakuto in Kujo Tachibana's hand turned back to its original "infinite" form, and the surrounding scene returned to the Kuchiki family's training ground.

This is Kujo Tachibana's Bankai - Infinite World!

After he activates his Bankai, he can simulate the Bankai of any opponent and strengthen it to a certain extent based on his infinite abilities. The weaker the opponent's own understanding of Bankai, the more powerful his simulated Bankai will become!

Coupled with his own spiritual pressure, if it is stronger than that of his opponent, the Bankai he simulates will become even more terrifying.
