There was a hint of shock in the eyes of Yamamoto and Shihōin Chihiro. They didn't expect that Yamabuki Haruto's talent was so high. He learned all the Kidō just by watching them performed once!
This is a high-level Hadō, level 88. He gave up chanting and released it directly. Shihōin Chihiro thought that he was not at this level. Of course, his main skill was not Kidō. He mainly practiced Hakuda and rarely used his Zanpakutō.
Chōjirō Sasakibe was even more shocked by the scene before him. This was the Gotei 13? This was the Shinigami? Could he reach this level in the future?
"Well, not bad, just barely. It's far worse than when I was young. Just practice slowly." Yamamoto said in a calm tone. He was mainly afraid that Yamabuki Haruto would become proud, so he kept all the compliments in his heart.
Yamabuki Haruto sighed. He originally wanted Chōjirō Sasakibe to learn something from him, but the old man played so high-end from the start. What could this kid learn?
"Captain Shihōin, please get this kid a Zanpakutō. I want to teach him some basic swordsmanship." Yamabuki Haruto said.
"That's easy." Shihōin Chihiro said with a smile.
In the setting of the world of Bleach, the spiritual pressure of the nobles is naturally much higher than that of the common people in Rukongai, except for a few geniuses, such as Kenpachi Zaraki and Toshiro Hitsugaya, who are rare geniuses in a thousand years. Most of the children of nobles possess the spiritual pressure of ordinary members of the Gotei 13, while ordinary people have to go through many levels of selection before they can join the Gotei 13. Because of this, a thousand years ago, almost all Zanpakutō were in the hands of the nobles, and this monopoly was not broken until the establishment of the Gotei 13.
Shihōin Chihiro quickly sent someone to get a Zanpakutō. Chōjirō Sasakibe was very excited as it was the first time he got a real sword.
Yamabuki Haruto has mastered the skill of swordsmanship. He dare not say that his swordsmanship has reached the top level in the world, but he has no problem teaching children. Yamabuki Haruto also told him some knowledge about Zanpakutō, such as Shikai, Bankai, and Kidō, so that he could have a general understanding of this system.
A Shinigami's fighting methods are divided into three types: Zanjutsu (swordsmanship), Hakuda (hand-to-hand combat), and Hohō (footwork). Most Shinigami would be very powerful if they could master one or two and hone them to the highest level. There has only been one all-rounder like Aizen in the past thousand years.
"Swinging the sword is the simplest and most direct attack. Swing the sword a thousand times in the morning. If you slack off, you won't have lunch. Come on, young man!" After Yamabuki Haruto taught Chōjirō Sasakibe the simplest way to swing the sword, he went to look for books about Kidō.
Yamamoto watched from the side for a while and shook his head slightly. The kid named Chōjirō Sasakibe was not talented enough and was far inferior to Yamabuki. He sighed and left.
But when it was time for lunch, Yamamoto passed by and found that Chōjirō Sasakibe was still swinging his sword. At this time, Chōjirō Sasakibe was sweating profusely and could hardly lift his arms.
"Well... although his talent is average, his perseverance is commendable. If he is carefully polished, he can barely reach the middle level." Yamamoto Shunpo came in front of the young man, reached out and gently grabbed Chōjirō Sasakibe's sword.
"You're swinging your sword wrong," Yamamoto said gravely. "Your eyes have no purpose; you're simply swinging a piece of metal. Even if you practice for another thousand years, it will be useless."
"Captain-in-Chief..." Chōjirō Sasakibe was very afraid of Yamamoto.
"Look ahead," Yamamoto said. "What's there?"
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked forward, but there was nothing there!
"There is a Hollow over there, the one that captured your sister. You were unable to protect your sister before, but now you have a knife in your hand. Do you still want to watch your loved ones get hurt again? If not, swing the knife and chop with all your strength, using up all your spiritual pressure! Kill the enemy! Go!" Yamamoto roared.
Amidst Yamamoto's roar, Chōjirō Sasakibe seemed to really see the Hollow that had kidnapped his sister appear. Various emotions such as tension, fear, worry, and anxiety arose in his heart. Finally, he used up every bit of his strength and desperately chopped the Hollow with his knife! The shadow turned into a phantom and disappeared.
And at this moment, he felt a surge of power in his body, nourishing his whole body.
"Well, not bad." Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, Chōjirō Sasakibe's spiritual pressure increased a little bit. It seemed that this kid was not a complete loser. There is also a little bit of plasticity.
"Let's go eat! You'll get one thousand dollars this afternoon, so just practice like this. If you don't finish practicing, you're not allowed to eat at night." Yamamoto said.
"Yes! Captain!" Chōjirō Sasakibe said in surprise. Although he was young, he was not stupid at all. How could he not see that the captain didn't like him? And now, the captain finally acknowledged his identity as a member of the Gotei 13.
Yamabuki Haruto was lying on a beam not far away, watching: "Old man, you are very good at teaching disciples! Why don't you open an academy to recruit more disciples? This way, we can expand our Gotei 13 and spread our name."
Yamamoto pondered for a moment and felt that this was a good idea, but they had no money, no people, and no territory now, and they couldn't always rely on the Shihōin family.
"I'll consider this matter. Didn't you say you were going to study the way of Kidō? Have you been slacking off here all morning?" Yamamoto stared at Yamabuki Haruto.
"Um... I'm... I... Goodbye!" Yamabuki Haruto ran away in an instant. What should he do if he was caught slacking off at work?
Yamamoto laughed and cursed. There is still a long way to go in building the Gotei 13. What should I do if I want to build a college but have no money? Yamamoto was worried, but found that Yamabuki Haruto had returned again.
"What are you doing back here, kid?"
"Captain, don't be angry. As your deputy captain, of course I have to help you solve your problems. I have a way to get the money, and I can legitimately snatch the money from the nobles." Yamabuki Haruto said.
You have to know that most of the resources in Soul Society are controlled by the nobles, and it is not easy to take money out of these people. Since he couldn't rob openly, Yamamoto couldn't think of a good solution for a moment. But this guy said that he had a way to make the nobles hand over the money obediently.
"Tell me about it in detail!" Yamamoto asked.
"Captain, as the saying goes, sincerity cannot be retained, and only tricks can win people's hearts. If you want them to hand over the money obediently, you must play tricks on them." Yamabuki Haruto said.
"A tactic?" Yamamoto was even more confused. This kind of scheming was not his strong suit, so he could only listen intently to what Yamabuki Haruto said.
"Captain, come closer, why are you doing this..."
