Chapter 80 Heading to the Present World
Chapter 80 Heading to the Present World
Kirinji Tenjiro sighed.
In fact, he had long guessed that this day would come.
After all, the Soul Society had indeed suffered heavy losses and could face danger again at any time.
The reason why the Soul Society wasn't destroyed last time was entirely because of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's existence.
But if that woman comes again, will they be as lucky as last time?
Are they only able to rely on Yoriichi Tsugikuni to guard the Soul Society?
They need to build an army!
An army capable of standing up against that mysterious woman!
Therefore, they want to gather all the top fighters in Soul Society and then make them even stronger!
Although low-sequence potions offer negligible improvements in strength, they at least provide them with a bright future.
"Alright, I'll join you." Kirinji finally agreed, adding:
"But to be honest, if we really want to protect the Soul Society, the best option is to recruit Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
"I had the same thought. If he could join, I would accept him as the leader." Yamamoto shook his head after saying that. "But he is elusive and, judging from his previous actions, he is only interested in vampires."
"Then let's start with the vampires," Kirinji said. "If we can help him deal with the vampires, he'll have no reason to refuse."
"I've thought about doing that, but we know too little about vampires, especially Muzan. He has the ability to transform into countless forms, and even Yoriichi Tsugikuni couldn't find him."
"No matter how powerful Yoriichi Tsugikuni is, he's still just one person," said Sennatsu Shihouin. "One person is no match for a group of people, at least when it comes to finding people, I think he needs us."
"..." Yamamoto thought for a moment, then said, "That's not wrong, but I don't know when I'll be able to see him again."
Both Kirinji and Shihōin sighed upon hearing this.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is a man whose whereabouts are uncertain. If they hadn't gone to find Kirinji Temple with Unohana before, they probably wouldn't even know that there was such a person in Soul Society!
So how are they supposed to find him?
It's just too difficult.
While they were hesitating, Hitsugaya put forward a viewpoint that they had never considered before.
"I wonder if we're heading in the wrong direction?"
"What?" Yamamoto looked over. He felt that Saito had changed since the "Blood Moon Disaster," but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.
Although Hitsugaya doesn't act like a woman in many ways, it doesn't matter, because Saito herself is an immortal heroine, which can be seen from her fighting style.
She has a bit of a crazy personality.
Compared to the occasional masculine behaviors that appeared, what Yamamoto found even stranger was that this woman seemed to have a brain.
Hitsugaya, of course, had no idea what her Captain-Commander was thinking; she simply said:
"If we can't find it in Soul Society, is it possible that it's in the Human World?"
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto and the other two showed obvious surprise.
Clearly, they had never thought of this before.
In fact, if Hitsugaya hadn't come from the future, she wouldn't have thought of this.
People of that era hadn't heard much about vampires, but Hitsugaya had heard many legends of vampire monsters in later generations.
"What Saito said makes a lot of sense," Shihouin Chihi immediately said. "We previously thought that spirits generally wouldn't go to the mortal world because the environment there is too harsh for high concentrations of spirits."
"But now we know that Yoriichi Tsugikuni was likely a soul that used the solar pathway, and he may not have relied on the spiritual environment like we do."
"So...it's entirely possible that he could be alive today!"
"This was our oversight; we only focused on the Soul Society and didn't conduct a search in the Human World," Yamamoto immediately added.
"Saito, you've done a great job this time."
He was about to make arrangements for this matter immediately.
Hitsugaya then said, "Let me go to the human world. I also really want to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
She hadn't seen him before in the Soul Society, so she wanted to seize this opportunity to see what kind of powerful person this was who hadn't appeared in the original history.
"You...?" Yamamoto looked at Hitsugaya, a little hesitant.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Saito, but rather that he felt a spirit like Saito might not be well-suited to the mortal world, especially since her overwhelming spiritual pressure might even have some negative effects on the real world.
"That's good. With you here, I don't think we'll encounter any danger."
Yamamoto said, "Then tomorrow you will take a group of people to the mortal world."
"good!"
Hitsugaya nodded in agreement.
She not only wanted to find Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but also wanted to see if the present world was different from her own.
In fact, the present world has indeed deviated from its original trajectory and embarked on a path completely different from the normal timeline.
Far East, island nation, Heian-kyo (Kyoto).
At this time, the island nation was in the Heian period.
Or rather, it hasn't been long since the beginning of the Heian period.
Therefore, the central government is currently in Heian-kyo, and the important figures in Heian-kyo are currently discussing something.
That is, how to deal with Aten-ryu, the chieftain of the Ezo.
Ezo is actually Hokkaido, but it is not yet fully within the sphere of influence of the island nation. It can only be considered an outer force. It is nominally royal territory, but from time to time it slips out of the map for various reasons.
If such a thing happens, the island nation's court will send people to quell it when all conditions permit. If the court itself is having a difficult time in those years, it will turn a blind eye and let it go.
During this era, the imperial court's military strength was still very strong. In order to deal with the Emishi, they specially set up the position of "Sei-i Taishogun" (General Who Subdues the Emishi), which was held by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, who defeated the Emishi.
Ateryu was also capable. She started her rebellion in 789 and over the past seven or eight years, she has repeatedly repelled the government troops that came to suppress her. She even expanded her power from Hokkaido to the northeast of Honshu Island.
But no matter how capable he was, he was still defeated by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, who was later known as the "God of War". He could only surrender to the latter and was then transported to Heian Castle.
Although Sakanoue Tamuramaro's opinion was to let him go back to continue being the chieftain, the nobles of Heian-kyo believed that Ateru was "wild and beastly, fickle and unpredictable," and advocated for his execution.
After a period of intense discussion, his punishment seemed to have been gradually decided.
There is only one option: death!
Even he himself has realized this.
But what can a defeated general do when he is at the mercy of others?
However, just when he was in despair, a man with red eyes appeared in front of him!
