You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

In fact, the engraving technique behind his "Instant Opening" has been changed more than once, reaching its current level of mastery!

But Yoruichi can't use this...

When the imprinting technique is applied to an ordinary Shinigami, it means using their own meridians and nervous system to replace the magic circuits. Even if it is successful, it will be permanently fixed, and there will only be this one type afterward. There will be no way to change it or further develop it.

If it were an elderly Shinigami who had no potential for development, it would be fine, but Yoruichi clearly has a bright future. Now, engraving Shunko's second stage on her body would be absolutely forcing growth, and the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages!

"I will try to break down the process into smaller steps. In short, you just need to put in a lot of hard work."

Iori said seriously, "In my estimation, if you master the second stage of Shunko, even a captain wouldn't be your match. You'll be able to stand on your own no matter where you are."

"...But even so, when I see that bastard Mask again, I still won't be a match for him."

Yoruichi bit her nails and said resentfully, "Can't it be faster? Isn't there any other way?"

"Are you so eager for revenge?"

Iori was somewhat surprised, not expecting that her usually cheerful and carefree older sister would care so much.

“I don’t hate that guy, I hate myself… I’m too weak. I can neither live up to the name of Shihouin nor protect Seireitei.”

Yoruichi and Iori locked eyes, their gazes filled with unwavering resolve: "I want to, no, I want to become stronger!"

Iori nodded and said with a smile, "Very good. Just let me know if you need anything, and I will do my best to help."

"Iori~ You're still such a nice person. I'm a little embarrassed. You haven't been back from Hueco Mundo for long, and you just finished a big battle, but you still came to keep me company."

"It's nothing... You don't need to worry, it's just a little difficult at the beginning."

The second stage of the ultimate technique adds attribute changes to the instantaneous roar. I am demonstrating the lightning attribute instantaneous roar. Although this kind of demonic power is difficult to control, I intuitively feel that you and lightning should have good compatibility.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll quickly find the knack; don't be impatient.

"Yes, of course I trust your judgment."

Yoruichi blinked. "By the way, you're also a lightning attribute user?"

"No, this is tailor-made for you. I specifically chose to teach you the lightning attribute."

"So what attribute are you best at?"

Yoruichi asked with interest.

Iori paused, tilted her head, and thought seriously for a moment: "Me? I know a little bit of everything."

"...You really are a monster."

Yoruichi grinned, it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

……

"If someone else asked me, I definitely wouldn't tell. But since it's you, revealing a little bit... shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After the battle the day before, Yoruichi felt her own weakness and inadequacy. In order to become stronger, she sought out Iori, who was currently unemployed and had no missions, to learn advanced techniques of "Instant Harshness".

Interestingly, this was originally the style she founded, but Iori later surpassed her and developed the second stage technique, so Yoruichi ended up having to learn from him.

Of course, Miss Yoruichi wouldn't feel ashamed or humiliated by such a thing. As the saying goes, the accomplished are first, and pioneers aren't necessarily better than those who come after them—there's nothing strange about that. If one were bound by pointless pride or modesty, abandoning the proper path and insisting on getting stuck in a rut, crossing a narrow bridge, that would truly be incredibly foolish.

Having someone to develop "Instant Harassment" with is actually a good thing for her.

After the intense interaction, the young lady, dressed in light clothing, wiped the sweat from her armpits while chatting with Iori about various things, naturally leading to the topic of the previous Hollow siege and its aftermath.

There's not much to say about the battle itself. Before the Captain-Commander arrived, the entire Gotei 13 was on the defensive, which was quite humiliating... Although there were many reasons for this, it doesn't erase the fact that "they failed".

All the captains can do now is to sweep away their long-standing laziness, face themselves again, and pick up their original intentions to start a more arduous training—looking forward to the next encounter with that Hollow!

The aftermath is nothing more than the reconstruction of the damaged areas and the reckoning with the Tsunayo family... There's not much to say about that, and Yoruichi isn't interested in it either.

In short, it was impossible for Tsunayoshi to be removed from the family, but after being hit by both physical and political blows, both her strength and reputation plummeted. More than two-thirds of the core members of the family were eliminated at once, and she could not even maintain her past influence in the traditional sphere of influence (the 46 Chambers).

In addition, there is Shi Tan, who is hailed as an "unprecedented and unparalleled villain," and the virtualization experiments that have been secretly carried out... His related responsibilities will definitely be investigated, and he will most likely never be able to turn things around. He may even have to hand over his most core power.

This is serious! It might even cause some trouble!

Each of the five noble families has held power or responsibility since the founding of Seireitei. For example, some are responsible for guarding Hell, while others are responsible for creating magical artifacts. Tsunayoshi has the greatest power.

This clan controls the [True Central Great Spiritual Library Corridor], located in the underground council hall of the Central Forty-Six Chambers. It is an extremely large database containing a series of major events and secrets of the Soul Society from ancient times to the present. Only the head of the Tsuna family can freely access the information within.

In other words, the Tsuna-Yayo family has the final say on the history of Soul Society!

This also gave them the largest and most comprehensive intelligence system, so although Shihouin controlled the assassination force, Tsunayoshi was more terrifying to the nobles.

This is why, even though Kuchiki was the model of nobility, Tsunayoshiro was the de facto leader!

—Of course, that was in the past.

This time, some people have proposed that Tsunayoshi relinquish this power and transfer it to the "46th Chamber".

Following this incident, due to unforeseen circumstances, the 46th Chamber will undoubtedly undergo a major reshuffle, meaning that from now on, the [Great Spiritual Library Corridor] will have no direct connection with Tsunayoshi.

Needless to say, Team Thirteen supports this matter. In any case, almost all the team leaders are disgusted to the extreme. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, they should take over similar organizations if possible.

Even if there aren't many reliable people in Team Thirteen, at least there are strict team disciplines to keep them in check. It's better than a small private workshop that can become irritable at any time!

Surprisingly, the "46th Office" also indicated that they would approve the proposal, but the specific allocation of functions would need further discussion.

This is not surprising, because after the members of Tsunayoshi's household were deliberately purged, they had effectively lost their former control. The "Forty-Six Chambers" were actually unwilling to be controlled by Tsunayoshi, and even the nobles who were on the same side were now starting to oppose Tsunayoshi.

The reason is simple: the [True Central Great Spiritual Library Corridor] is just too damn tempting!

When Gang Midai was at the height of his power, even nobles could not resist him, because he contained a great deal of "history" that could easily destroy a prestigious family.

Driven by self-interest and fear, and through skillful expansion, Tsunayoshi has secretly controlled the "Forty-Six Chambers" for nearly a thousand years.

Now that Tsunayoshi's strength has greatly diminished, does he still want to continue occupying the [Shin'o Great Spirit Book Corridor]?

What a joke! Who would want to go back to being Tsunayoshi's dog?!

Therefore, stripping Tsunayo of this power was a consensus within the entire Seireitei, but who would be in charge of the "Corridor" after that... that depended on how the higher-ups argued about it.

Of course, these people have no idea that the big cake they're so eager for is actually someone else's leftovers—

Iori violently destroyed Tsunayo's mansion, while Yuuki seized the opportunity to acquire their important assets, including the key to the deepest part of the "corridor"!

From then on, Aizen Sōyūhime could freely traverse the many barriers without anyone knowing, and all the secrets of the Soul Society would be revealed to her!

—This was also the content of the transaction between the siblings, with Iori exchanging it for the help of [Mirror Flower Water Moon].

"In short, Tsunayoshi is doomed, right?"

Iori sighed and lamented, "After all, they were one of the five great noble families, the founders who have existed since the beginning of Soul Society's history... It's truly lamentable that they've come to this end."

"Blame them for not knowing how to restrain themselves."

Yoruichi frowned deeply. Although they were both members of the five great noble families, she felt no sympathy for Tsunayoshiro.

"It's because of the accumulated negative karma from the past that it's now coming back to haunt us all at once."

"You really don't hold back when you talk!"

Iori smiled and shook her head: "By the way, did you find anything interesting in the inheritance you received from Tsunayoshiro?"

"So you're curious too, about that stone tablet Shi Tan mentioned. That's top secret."

Yoru Shihouin paused for a moment, but quickly laughed it off. After all, given Iori's status and position, there was practically nothing he needed to keep secret from him.

It's as if, theoretically, her position shouldn't have access to such secrets, but in reality, she still knows them.

“I had a childhood friend who was there at the time. He’s the smartest person I’ve ever met. He deciphered a lot of interesting things, like Arrancar and Hollowfication.”

Yoruichi briefly explained to Iori what "Arrancar" meant, and specifically reminded Iori to keep it a secret.

"Of course I wouldn't casually say something like that."

Iori's expression turned grim. "Has its authenticity been verified? Could this stone tablet be part of Tokiba's conspiracy?"

"You said the same thing as Chunshui and the others."

Yoruichi laughed, "Is this the thinking of a smart person? I've learned something. But don't worry, it's a real antique. It's just that the things on it are encrypted so many times that they are too difficult to decipher. We can only see the most superficial part."

"Oh~"

Iori nodded. "It seems this task is arduous and has a long way to go."

He outwardly agreed, but inwardly he couldn't help but sneer.

It would be a miracle if anyone could decipher it!

Although the stone tablet was a fake, it's common knowledge that no fake can ever surpass the genuine article.

Iori put a lot of thought and effort into it, making it even more realistic than the real thing!

The materials are [Octopus Twin Crystal] and [Aurora Steel], which do not exist in this world. The age was adjusted by Barragan's ability. Apart from the relatively simple ancient text in the "Hollowing" part, most of the content was made up by Iori herself!

Interpretation?

Oracle bone script, seal script, Greek, cuneiform, and hieroglyphics are all first-hand materials obtained from "locals," and there's even an alien language downloaded from Mooncell.

It's not that I look down on Kisuke Urahara, but even if you traveled to the internet age, you still wouldn't find enough materials to translate this text!

Even if we were to actually solve it, the content would just be the story of how Tsuna sold hooks to win over the four noble families and betray the Spirit King... cough!

These are just some random writings; please don't take them too seriously!

"Moreover, even without looking at that stone tablet, we found many prohibited items during our search of one of Tsunayoshi's secret rooms, and there were indeed similar records."

"what?"

Iori didn't know that. "A secret room?"

"Well, we not only cleaned up the shrine, but also forcibly searched the private residences of the main family and branch families. As a result... I can only say that we reaped a great harvest."

Yoruichi frankly stated, "My childhood friend wrote a novel that mentioned the concept of holographic transformation, but without any specific data. It seems that the core technology was taken away by Toki."

"..."

Did Tsuna Yayoi, or rather the Seireitei, really conduct Hollowfication experiments?

Chapter 326 Captain Aizen's Noble Character!

"Kushiki Sojun, from this day forward, you are appointed as the captain of the 10th Division, responsible for maintaining order within the palace. I hope you will abide by the palace rules and never forget our honor."

"Yes!"

In the First Division meeting hall, the captains stood in two rows on the left and right, while Kuchiki Aojun, who had changed into a captain's haori, was in the middle of the room, respectfully kneeling down to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

With Cang Chun reciting the final oath, the first part of the conference came to an end.

"Congratulations, Captain Kuchiki... Ah, sorry~"

Yizhou Tongsheng scratched his head and pointed at Yinling and Cangchun: "Both of them are rotten wood, I don't even know what to call them."

Yinling remained calm, while Cang Chun smiled gently and said, "Please don't take it too seriously. The title is just a code name. For everyone's convenience, please just call me Cang Chun."

"Is this really okay? It feels a little impolite."

Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan stroked his chin and looked Cang Chun up and down. "It seems that after becoming stronger, your personality has become more cheerful as well."

"Haha, no matter what, both Captain Kuchiki are pillars of Seireitei. We have been taken care of in the past, and who knows, there will be a day in the future when we will cause you trouble."

Chunshui winked at Cang Chun: "Especially little brother Cang Chun... it feels like we'll be spending a lot of time together."

"I will remember what the band leader said. I am not very experienced, and I hope you can take good care of me."

Chunshui didn't speak, but her gaze turned to Iori, who was standing in the front and seemed completely unaffected.

Qualifications?

Could anything be shallower than this?

But they did a pretty good job, didn't they?

"Alright, enough chit-chat. We'll have time to catch up later."

Yamamoto slammed his cane on the floor, the crisp sound instantly silencing the room, and Iori, who had been slightly distracted, quickly snapped back to attention.

"I believe you are already prepared for what we are about to discuss. That's right, it's about the defection of the notorious criminal Tsunayoshiro Tokinada, and the subsequent countermeasures."

How to deal with the Tsunayo family is a matter for the 46th Chamber, while the task of suppressing "Tokinada" is the responsibility of the 13th Division.

"The sinner has now escaped into Hueco Mundo. My suggestion is to form a true expeditionary force, led by myself, to completely destroy Tsunayoshi Tokinada and his forces!"

It was clear that the old man was truly intent on killing. His narrow eyes, which had been half-hidden, opened slightly. Before he could do anything, his words caused the temperature in the room to rise, as if even the wandering spirits were being stirred by his anger.

"We cannot make a hasty decision on this matter. We must consider it carefully and act only after we have sufficient confidence."
