Chapter 35 The Power of Fate 1
“…………”
In the distance, the top of a tall tower overlooks the Ryudoji residence.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Shihōin Sennichi, and Kirinji Tenjirō stood side by side, their robes fluttering in the night breeze, the moonlight casting a half-light, half-shadow on their solemn faces.
The stench of blood drifted up from the distant courtyard on the night breeze, and even here, one could smell the unsettling aroma.
They hadn't expected Yoriichi Tsugikuni's actions to be so swift, decisive, and sharp!
"It's even more terrifying than I imagined..."
After Yoriichi disappeared and a while had passed, Yamamoto Genryusai said softly:
"No wonder Unohana Yachiru gave up the fight for him."
simply……
They're not even in the same league!
How terrifying is Yoriichi Tsugikuni?
Even before he obtained the power of the demon, Ryudoji Takehiko was already a very famous figure.
Not to mention now, but this is the kind of man he is...
Yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!
Just a moment ago, the spiritual pressure emanating from Ryudoji Takehiko startled even those of them who were far away.
Especially after the appearance of that seemingly illusory yet not illusory red moon, they felt an indescribable sense of dread.
That wasn't just simple strength; it was more like a difference brought about by the essence of life, as if his soul had completed an evolution at that moment!
Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. If it got out of control, he would immediately go to support Yoriichi Tsugikuni. He was even prepared to use Bankai!
He also realized that Ryudoji Takehiko was the one who ambushed him on that street. He thought he had killed him, but he did not expect that the other party had a strange way of saving his life.
But all of that was over. He was lucky enough not to have his life taken by Ryujin Jakka's flames at that time, but at this moment he was easily destroyed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
That man... his very existence seemed to exemplify a kind of 'power' that transcended common sense!
"What are your plans to do with the Ryudoji family?"
At this moment, Kirinji spoke up, asking Shihōin Sennichi.
Senji Shihouin also came to his senses and murmured, "They have colluded with demons and have turned their backs on the Shinigami. Let them be banished to the Dangai."
"What about Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"
The question of Qilin Temple plunged them into silence once again.
This man is too powerful.
Even if Yamamoto Shigekuni were to intervene, he might not be able to suppress him.
The main problem is that he seemed too relaxed and carefree just now, making it impossible to figure out his true nature.
If such a man could be used by them, that would be ideal.
But if you were to make an enemy of them, they would be a formidable foe.
"The good news is, he seems to be a good person."
Kirinji said with a hint of sarcasm, "His last strike only killed all the demons, but he didn't hurt a single member of the Ryudoji family."
"It's not easy to find someone like this in this world."
Kind people are easier to exploit.
"Yamamoto, since we can't recruit Unohana, what do you think of Yoriichi Tsugikuni?" Shihouin asked.
Yamamoto was also somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he said, "The Gotei 13, although named after the Gotei 13, is essentially an assassin organization."
"Someone like him might not accept our approach."
"That's easy." A faint smile played on Shihouin Senhi's lips, the moonlight reflecting a cold, shrewd light in his eyes. He said confidently:
"Just make him believe that he is doing something righteous."
"That's definitely worth a try."
………………
Yoriichi Tsugikuni returned to the clinic at Kirinji Temple.
Unohana had already sobered up.
When he returned, the moonlight was just right. Unohana was sitting in the courtyard. She had changed out of her Shinigami uniform and was wearing a simple light-colored casual outfit. Her long black hair was draped smoothly over her shoulders.
A night breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair fluttered gently.
The effects of her previous intoxication had long since dissipated. She gazed quietly at the bright moon in the sky, the lines of her profile appearing exceptionally soft in the moonlight.
"You're back."
Upon seeing Yoriichi return, Unohana said softly
"Hmm." Yui nodded and said, "It's so late, is Miss Unohana still awake?"
"Just call me Retsu, like Kirinji," Unohana said calmly. "Judging from your expression, you haven't found Muzan yet, have you?"
"..." Yoriichi lowered his head: "Yes, the Ryudoji family are just familiars he created; we don't know where he himself is."
"Perhaps, just as he said, he will never appear in front of me again."
"As a ghost, he possesses infinite life. Perhaps he will only appear after a thousand years, ten thousand years, or after I die of old age."
Unohana slowly said, "So what's next? What are you planning to do? Continue searching for Muzan?"
"You've been searching for five hundred years, but you still can't find him. Will searching for another five hundred years finally lead you to him?"
"But even so... I will not give up." Yoriichi said softly, "The moment I saw him, I knew that my destiny was to kill him."
"That's a monster... only I can kill!"
"I think your behavior at the Ryudoji family has already caught the attention of the Seireitei." Unohana sneered, seemingly expressing her disdain for the Seireitei. Her gaze shifted from the moon to Yoriichi as she spoke.
"They won't feel comfortable letting such a huge fighting force like yours go uncontrolled, so they'll definitely want you to become one of them."
"..." Yoriichi fell silent upon hearing this, clearly understanding the same principle.
"When I was at the Ryudoji family's house before, there were indeed three people watching me."
He added:
"But I have no intention of making enemies of anyone; I'm just thinking... about killing demons that are different from humans."
"But they won't care what you think. A regime won't tolerate anything that threatens its stability," Unohana replied.
"It would have been better before, but I didn't expect that the five noble families and Yamamoto Genryusai were already thinking about ending this era."
"People like us are inherently only suited to chaotic times... Once order is established, a knife that is too sharp will either be held in someone's hand or... be broken."
If she had known this, perhaps she wouldn't have brought Yoriichi Tsugikuni to the Soul Society.
This would only expose Yoriichi Tsugikuni's immense power to those greedy and cowardly nobles.
Yoriichi's strength could easily wipe them out, and once the situation stabilizes, they will not allow a man like Yoriichi, who is beyond their control, to exist.
