"Kurotsuchi Mayuri"
To ensure Kurotsuchi Mayuri's words remained unheard by others, Yusuke Uchiha activated his genjutsu, focusing his gaze upon Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes and drawing him into a meticulously crafted illusion.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri only registered a fleeting flash of light emanating from the eyes of the masked figure before him, and the confining walls of his prison cell instantly dissolved, replaced by a breathtaking vista of an expansive meadow.
The sun shone brilliantly, casting a warm and inviting glow upon the vibrant landscape. The meadow was adorned with a profusion of multicolored petals, scattered generously across its verdant expanse.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the enigmatic man who had materialized within his cell found themselves seated opposite one another upon comfortable chairs, positioned before a small table upon which two steaming cups of tea and an assortment of delectable snacks were artfully arranged.
The scene was reminiscent of a leisurely outdoor picnic.
Within the context of the Bleach universe, techniques that fall under the category of genjutsu are, in most instances, relegated to a supporting role.
Irrespective of whether the target is a Shinigami or a Hollow, both of which are fundamentally composed of spiritual energy, or a Quincy, who possesses the ability to manipulate spiritual energy, the potency of their souls is exceptionally formidable, resulting in a significant attenuation of the effectiveness of genjutsu techniques.
Yusuke Uchiha's ability to effortlessly ensnare Kurotsuchi Mayuri within his illusion can be attributed to two primary factors. Firstly, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Reiatsu has yet to attain the level of a captain-class Shinigami, falling considerably short of Yusuke Uchiha's own formidable spiritual pressure.
Secondly, as a prisoner, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's spiritual energy has been suppressed, rendering him utterly incapable of resisting Yusuke Uchiha's genjutsu.
Through a series of meticulous experiments involving his dōjutsu, Yusuke Uchiha had reached the conclusion that the potency of his Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu capabilities fell short of the exceptional illusionary prowess demonstrated by Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu in the original storyline.
However, in accordance with the principle of "Reiatsu Supremacy," Yusuke Uchiha recognized that if he were to elevate his Reiatsu to a level that would decisively overwhelm his opponents, the effectiveness of his genjutsu techniques would be amplified to a terrifying degree.
Upon witnessing the dramatic transformation of his surroundings, Kurotsuchi Mayuri immediately deduced the nature of the technique that had been employed against him.
"This is a potent genjutsu, activated through the eyes," Kurotsuchi Mayuri mused, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"It possesses the capability of drawing individuals whose gaze meets yours into the illusionary realm that you have created.
All events that transpire within this illusionary space remain imperceptible to those outside. Wait... it appears that there is also a temporal distortion at play; the passage of time within this illusion seems to be significantly compressed in relation to the external world," Kurotsuchi Mayuri observed astutely.
As one of the most brilliant scientific minds within the Bleach universe, Kurotsuchi Mayuri possessed an insatiable curiosity regarding any novel phenomenon.
Yusuke Uchiha responded with a warm smile. "Indeed, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, your assessment is entirely accurate," he confirmed.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri lifted a cup of tea from the table and partook of the beverage, his curiosity piqued. "You must have utilized some form of spatial ability to transport yourself to this location," he remarked.
"Your deliberate decision to seek me out suggests that you possess the means to facilitate my escape from this prison, but I surmise that such assistance would come with certain conditions."
Ever since he had become the target of relentless pursuit by the Gotei 13, Kurotsuchi Mayuri had not experienced a single day of respite. Though he recognized that the tea and the delectable snacks before him were merely illusory manifestations, they nonetheless provided a measure of sensory gratification, a welcome respite from his harsh reality.
"Extracting you from this prison would be a trivial task for me," Yusuke Uchiha replied calmly. "And my conditions are quite simple: you must obey my commands. I require your expertise in research and development," Yusuke Uchiha stated plainly.
Upon hearing Yusuke Uchiha's proposition, Kurotsuchi Mayuri let out a chilling chuckle. "Even if I were to accede to your demands at this juncture," he countered, his voice laced with suspicion, "what assurance do you offer that I would not simply renege on my pledge upon securing my freedom?"
Yusuke Uchiha responded with a subtle smile. "No living mortal can breach a promise made to me," he declared confidently. "Should you choose the path of treachery, I shall effortlessly locate you and subsequently eliminate you."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri's countenance shifted dramatically, his eyes flashing with a sudden surge of killing intent. He was not a man to be easily manipulated, and he harbored a profound aversion to threats.
Fixing his gaze upon Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Yusuke Uchiha spoke with unwavering resolve. "Make your choice," he commanded. "Should you consent to my terms, I shall facilitate your escape from this prison, and our agreement shall be formally established.
However, should you ever contemplate reneging on your pledge, you shall meet your demise at the edge of my blade without cause for complaint."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri's brow furrowed in contemplation for a brief moment, his expression clouded with uncertainty. However, his countenance quickly returned to its customary composure.
Letting out a pair of sardonic chuckles, Kurotsuchi Mayuri addressed Yusuke Uchiha. "I accept your proposition," he declared, "but I, too, have conditions of my own to impose."
"I await your stipulations," Yusuke Uchiha responded politely.
"You shall not interfere in any manner with my research endeavors," Kurotsuchi Mayuri stated firmly. "Furthermore, I surmise that your interest in my services does not extend to my combat capabilities.
Therefore, my contribution shall be limited to research and development; participation in combat shall remain entirely at my discretion," Kurotsuchi Mayuri declared.
Yusuke Uchiha responded with a genial smile. "Agreed. Provided that you diligently fulfill the research tasks I assign to you, and provided that your independent pursuits do not impede my own objectives, you shall be granted complete autonomy in your endeavors."
With the terms of their agreement formally established, Kurotsuchi Mayuri immediately reached for the delectable snacks that had been placed upon the table, his appetite piqued.
"Kindly refrain from dispelling this illusion for the time being," he requested. "Allow me to savor these refreshments and this exquisite tea.
You cannot fathom the extent of the torment I have endured at the hands of those in the Seireitei. And since you haven't yet partaken of the tea, I shall graciously accept the offering."
Yusuke Uchiha nodded his assent.
"By the way," Kurotsuchi Mayuri began, his voice laced with a mischievous glint, "would it be possible for you to conjure a few… women within this illusionary realm...?" He abruptly ceased his request, however, upon observing the sudden flash of lethal intent that flickered across Yusuke Uchiha's eyes. "...I'll just make one myself once we're out," he mumbled under his breath.
Once Kurotsuchi Mayuri had fully satisfied his appetite and quenched his thirst, Yusuke Uchiha dispelled the illusion.
First, guided by Kurotsuchi Mayuri's acute perception of the location of his Zanpakutō, Yusuke Uchiha assisted him in retrieving his cherished blade. Subsequently, Yusuke Uchiha promptly utilized his Kamui ability to transport himself and Kurotsuchi Mayuri back to the expansive realm of Hueco Mundo.
"Your abilities are truly remarkable," Kurotsuchi Mayuri remarked, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Based on my observations, it appears that your extraordinary powers are activated through the agency of your eyes.
I wonder if you would be amenable to allowing me to subject your eyes to a thorough examination? Rest assured, upon the completion of my analysis, I shall restore them to their pristine condition."
Yusuke Uchiha responded with a dismissive tone. "I'm afraid I must decline your request."
Upon hearing Yusuke Uchiha's resolute refusal, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's countenance registered a palpable expression of disappointment, and he let out a profound sigh, his gaze shifting to his surroundings.
As his eyes scanned the seemingly endless expanse of white sand that stretched before him, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's brow furrowed in contemplation. "This is Hueco Mundo?" he questioned, his voice laced with a hint of uncertainty.
"Well, Hueco Mundo is not entirely unappealing. Based on our recent exchange, it appears that you command a significant force of your own. Might I inquire as to the precise location of your principal base of operations?"
"What you see before you is our base of operations," Yusuke Uchiha replied cryptically.
"Are you jesting with me? This?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief.
Yusuke Uchiha cast a fleeting glance at Kurotsuchi Mayuri. "On this occasion, you have failed to grasp the full import of my statement," he clarified. "My intention is to assert that the entirety of Hueco Mundo shall serve as our principal base of operations."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes widened in surprise, followed by a resounding burst of laughter. "Intriguing indeed!
I shall eagerly observe your efforts to establish dominance over the entirety of Hueco Mundo. Should you succeed in this ambitious undertaking, I shall pledge my unwavering allegiance to you without hesitation!"
Yusuke Uchiha responded with a subtle smile. "That day may arrive sooner than you anticipate."
As he spoke these words, a crow emerged from Yusuke Uchiha's eyes, gracefully alighting upon Kurotsuchi Mayuri's arm, leaving behind a distinctive crow-shaped mark.
"For the time being, I shall leave you to your own devices within Hueco Mundo, as I have pressing matters to attend to," Yusuke Uchiha explained.
"This crow mark serves as a means of tracking your movements, and I expect you to refrain from utilizing your Reiatsu to dispel it. Given your intelligence, I am confident that you understand my capacity to locate you at any time."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri expressed no objection to Yusuke Uchiha's methods, recognizing that the imposition of certain restrictions upon him following his rescue was entirely reasonable.
