Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Chapter 41: Sudden Change in Situation

Seireitei West Gate White Road Gate.

Gatekeeper, Hr Jidanb stood in front of the door and roared loudly:

Hahahahaha! Very good! You are the first person who can take on my axe! But it wont go the same way next time!

Jidanb then immediately used his deadly technique, Juppon Jidanda Matsuri.

Jidanb swung his enormous axe, which was almost as heavy as a small boat, ten times in a row.

Gatekeepers job was protecting the gate.

There was nothing out of place aside from the blow of that gigantic axe being blocked. However, unlike usual, Jidanb was facing Seireitei this time instead of Rukongai, as if preventing anyone from leaving Seireitei.

After several seconds, all that was left in front of Jidanb was a big hole after around 35 consecutive strikes.

Oh crap I went too far. Jidanb, who thought he had crushed his opponent into smithereens, was celebrating his hollow victory.

Meanwhile, a man who Jidanb thought was supposed to be smithereens by now was walking nonchalantly toward the opposite direction, completely unscathed.

The man had long black hair kept tied in a ponytail with a golden band that would belong to that of royalty, except for two long strands on opposite sides of his forehead that hung downwards. The gentle and docile appearance of his was unwavering as there was not even a speck of dust on his clothes.

Although he could feel the gaze of Rukongais residents, he kept walking forward without a care.

However, a few seconds later, the man stopped and vigilantly stared as if there was something in front of him.

In the next moment, two men appeared before Azashiro Kenpachi, blocking his advance.

One was a gentle-looking man with white hair, and the other was a man wearing a pink, flowered ladys kimono and a bamboo hat. It was Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir.

Good grief, seems like waiting for you here was the right move. So you did manage to defeat those three, huh?

Its just as you said, Kyoraku. Azashiro really is stronger than an average Captain.

Even with two of them blocking his way, Azashiro Kenpachi was unfazed and said indifferently: If you agree with my idea, then I hope you can assist me with it. If you dont, I advise you to stay out of this since itll be just a waste of Reiryoku.

Now thats a tough idea to agree with. Kyraku Shunsui said as he untied the knot of his bamboo hat and faced Azashiro directly. The idea of turning Rukongais people into soldiers to storm Hueco Mundo is too extreme that I cant agree with it.

Central 46 is just overly cautious and refuses my idea to save their own ass. As far as I know, those guys had no desire to change things and were satisfied with just maintaining the status quo. I believe you two realize that as well, right? Azashiro Kenpachi said indifferently.

But, of course, the two Captains answer didnt please him.

Well, you might be right. It would be so much easier if they want some change. Even so, surely there are other better ways to deal with this, no?

AzashiroI know that youre doing this for the greater good, but your method is a problem. Two of us stood here out of our own free will. It has nothing to do with Central 46.

A clear rejection.

Seeing Azashiro Kenpachi had no intention to back away, Kyraku Shunsui disappointedly said:

But boy, this is a hassle. You did defeat three Captains easily by yourself. Old Yamamoto seriously underestimated your strength.

Kyraku Shunsui then took off his flashy Kimono, followed by a sigh

Upon seeing Azashiro Kenpachi was about to take out something that resembled a bottle, Kyraku Shunsui immediately responded with a lazy tone: Let me tell you beforehand, its pointless to bribe me with sake.

Hmm, this is a problem. Are you sure you dont want to see it first?

Kyraku Shunsui wavered a little while Ukitake Jshir next to him interrupted: Indeed, our mission is to defeat Hollow and maintain the balance between Soul Society and Human World. However, I dont think using Rukongais residents as the instruments of war is against my moral compass.

Apparently, Ukitake Jshir was hell-bent on persuading Azashiro Kenpachi. However, Azashiro Kenpachi obviously wouldnt change his mind just because of his little speech. Azashiro completely ignored him and shifted his attention to Kyraku Shunsui instead: Kyraku Shunsui, you should know what Im talking about, right? Although you seem laid-back most of the time, you will do anything when its do or die time, right?

You overestimate me. Im not the type of guy who would use any means necessary to achieve my goal.

Is that so? Id say youre the most cautious Captain aside from Captain-Commander, oh well, whatever you say.

Azashiro Kenpachi immediately continued, Ensuring the balance between Soul Society and Human world is the priority for us Shinigamis. Just like the hell guards that always punish sinners for eternity, we must also cast aside our emotions to do our duty. Feeling and emotions are not unnecessary in our job. All history and tradition in Soul Society is just a shackle that prevents us from accomplishing our mission, and its all because of Central 46s incompetence.

Youre clearly mistaken. Our sense of morality is fundamentally different. Soul Societys laws and rules may be mistaken at timesbut at least, not now.

So thats how it is Then, there is no need for another word. Azashiro Kenpachi walked toward the two Captains.

You arent going to disappear into thin air as usual?

Azashiro Kenpachi did not answer Kyraku Shunsuis question.

As Azashiro Kenpachi took another step, both Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir put their hands on scabbard at the same time

When the Flower Wind Rages, the Flower God Roars, When the Wind of Heaven Rages, the God of the Underworld Sneers -Katen Kykotsu.

Waves, Become my Shield, Lightning, Become my Blade -Sgyo no Kotowari.

These two veteran Captains immediately used their Shikai right off the bat. After all, they were up against a Kenpachi who could defeat 3 Captains without even a scar on him.

Its futile. Azashiro Kenpachi slowly raised his hand, aiming it at Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir as he began a Kids incantation.

However, he stopped without finishing his incantation. Ignoring both Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir, Azashiro Kenpachi turned around and stared at the corner of Seireiteis wall in the distance, whispering: So Even Soul King disapproves my action?

?

What are you talking about?

Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir did not quite catch what Azashiro Kenpachi murmured about, but what they did realize was the indifferent Azashiro Kenpachi finally showed emotion on his face. However, before they realized what it was, the slight change in Azashiro Kenpachis face was gone, and he put down his hand.

Alright, I give up. I will obediently accept the trial from Central 46.

Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir frowned and looked at each other in doubt.

Whats with you all of a sudden, Azashiro? Your response completely throws me off.

Kyraku Shunsui stared at Azashiro Kenpachi doubtfully, Could it be that you have another plan?

Kyraku, you are too skeptical. Azashiro Kenpachi then turned back. Or are you saying that I should go back by myself?

Hearing Azashiro Kenpachis words, Kyraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jshir had no choice but to cast away their doubts and escorted Azashiro Kenpachi back to Seireitei.
