Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

The other party's temperament does not look like that of an ordinary Shinigami. He has strong abilities and has been in a high position for a long time, and his external aura is completely different - being in a high position here does not mean being the boss of a gang by virtue of "being able to fight" s position......

That kind of people are more like nouveau riche and gangsters.

After ruling out an answer that was highly likely to be wrong, Haruto tested the opponent with a straight ball without hesitation.

I just didn't expect that the effect was even better than imagined.

"We came here..."

"The support of the Tsunayashiro family is indispensable."

After the silent second hand passed four or five times, Ichihara Naa's expression returned to its original calmness, and a slightly sighing tone came out of her mouth along with the thick smoke.

And her answer to this question also made Haruto realize that the move just now was actually full of danger.

"Tsunayashiro?"

"do not know."

Haruto shook his head decisively.

——This is a lie.

Before coming to Soul Society, Haruto's understanding of the Tsunayashiro family was limited to the plot related to the future captain of the ninth division, Tosen Kaname: His female best friend Uta Tsuna died at the hands of her husband who was born in the Tsunayashiro family. , but this cruel nobleman did not receive the punishment he deserved.

After living in the Soul Society for so long, Haruto has learned more information: for example, the Tsunayashiro family is now the head of the four nobles.

Haruto said that he did not know the Tsunayashiro family, which was a very obvious excuse; and the hidden meaning contained in it was naturally captured by Ichihara Naa:

He has no interest in the Tsunayashiro family.

"Really?"

As if the previous silence was all an illusion, Naa Ichihara put on a smile again and said:

"Brother, you have good taste."

Ichihara Naa had just bluntly stated that she had conflicts with the Tsunayashiro family. If Haruto's answer was not so satisfactory to her, the two might have been facing each other with swords at this time - relying on the unreleased Zanhua Lun, Haruto believed that he had The ability was withdrawn from the opponent's hands; and the process of Haruto seeing through the illusion earlier also convinced Ichihara Naa that she could take Haruto down.

Both sides are very confident.

"I don't dare take it seriously. It's just that my best friend happens to be from the Kuchiki family."

Haruto directly revealed his "way out" - he had never mentioned the word "best friend" in front of Byakuya. If Byakuya heard this, he might not know how he would feel... or how he would ridicule him. As for him.

"Best friend?"

"You are clearly from one of the four noble families, yet you are worthy of the title of best friend. Brother Haruto, it seems that you are very popular with children."

Through such simple information, he was able to guess the truth almost exactly. Ichihara Naa was able to become the eldest sister, and her ability to analyze information was indeed quite powerful.

"Okay."

Haruto is indeed very popular with "children" who are younger than him - don't think that children are easy to deceive, whether they are sincere or not, their intuition is more accurate than that of many adults who have less experience.

"..."

The conversation accidentally hit a dead end.

The two of them had been communicating for only about two minutes. Including the time spent climbing the stairs, Haruto's Zanhuarin spiritual pressure had already evaporated to 20% of its original value.

If we continue with such a useless topic... Haruto decides to evacuate before his trump card disappears.

Just when he was about to resign——

"call out."

Ichihara Naa flicked her wrist.

As a not-sharp sound broke through the air, a blue light fell into Haruto's hand.

"Snapped!"

"This is?"

Haruto was a little confused, looking at the "jade" carved into a ghost face in his hand.

"Ki Dao Jade."

Ichihara Naa mentioned a name that Haruto had never heard of.

"Able to actively absorb spirit seeds from nature, and reproduce the ghost knowledge recorded in them through a method similar to sword Zen."

"Usually used to quickly understand...advanced ghost ways after number 80."

"..."

Generous.

Ichihara Naa's introduction made Haruto almost unable to keep his serious expression.

The eldest sister was countless times more generous than the old man of the Ise family in her first move - Haru secretly slandered for a fleeting moment in her heart - and it also proved from the side that the other party's background was much better than that of the priest Ise family. Only strong, not weak: Being eligible to be exiled by the Tsunayashiro family shows that the Ichihara family was once the top one even among the upper-level nobles.

"Xiao Shi..."

"Consumption in our store is not cheap."

Ichihara Naa continued to add, the smile on her lips became more teasing.

"We can't let our guests waste money in vain. Let's use this to make up for the little misunderstanding before."

"What's inside?"

Haruto is still maintaining the Zanhua Ring and cannot inject spiritual pressure into the Kidou Gama for inspection.

"Brother Haruto, you don't have to be so guarded."

Although he said this, seeing that Haruto did not explore the contents of the Kidōdama, a hint of imperceptible appreciation flashed across Ichihara Naa's face.

"Our Ichihara family doesn't have the ability to bury traps in Kidōdama."

While expressing his "sincerity", Ichihara Naa also emphasized the importance of the Kidou Jade: Although this thing is a collection of the Ichihara family, this former superior noble does not have the ability to produce Kidou Jade - —

Non-renewable resources are always more precious.

"Inside is Binding Path No. 81 "Duan Kong". "

"!!"

Although Ichihara Naa had just mentioned the Kidou "number eighty and above", Haruto never expected that it would be the extremely practical Dankong.

"Broken Sky"

With similar spiritual pressure, it can block all ghost paths below the number 90. Although it is only ranked 81, its defensive ability makes it have unparalleled practical value.

Being able to obtain the Duan Kong secret so easily was completely beyond Haruto's best expectations.

"Don't be so surprised."

Although the hatred was not obvious, Ichihara Naa still caught the subtle changes in Haruto's expression.

"With your ability, if you are really interested in the Kuchiki family, it is almost certain that you will get the secret of Duan Kong in the future."

"The most important thing the Kuchiki family lacks is the secret knowledge of ghost ways. I'm just investing in it in advance."

"and......"

"This Duan Kong Ghost Jade is not that easy to master."

"Appreciate further details."

With the tangible benefits in front of him, Haruto simply put down his face.

"It takes time to accumulate the spirit of the Kidō Jade, and it cannot absorb the spiritual pressure after being transformed by the Shinigami. Every time you comprehend the Kidō knowledge in it, you need at least six months before you can use it again."

"......I see."

There was no dissatisfaction on Haruto's face, and he even secretly breathed a sigh of relief: This Kidou Jade is not as powerful as imagined. If he is not a genius enough to learn the Kidou described in it at once, he will have to wait at least half a year.

And in the past six months, Kidōdama couldn't even read it like a normal secret book.

"It's not over yet."

"What else?" - Haruto didn't say this.

"The Ghost Jade naturally absorbs half a year's worth of spiritual energy, which is a huge deal."

"When absorbed, the impact on the will and body is not small."

"If you want to realize this process, even the lowest-ranked Duan Kong, it is conservatively estimated that you will need a fifth-level spiritual power to do it."

"..."

A fifth-level spiritual power, that was Byakuya's current level, and he was the vice-captain of several weak teams in the Gotei Thirteen.

According to Ichihara Naa, if Haruto wants to absorb the knowledge of Kidōdama, he needs to reach the level of deputy captain first.

The problem is that if Haruto really wants to join the Kuchiki family in the future, Byakuya will definitely not be stingy with the secret of Soku when he reaches the level of vice-captain. If Haruto progresses faster, even if Kuchiki Gin A stubborn old man like Ling probably wouldn't mind the "mere" No. 81 Binding Road.

Thinking about this, the ghost jade in my hand suddenly doesn't smell good...

etc!

Haruto accidentally glanced at Ichihara Naa.

"has a problem."

"If Kidō Jade is as precious as what the other party said, after giving Dankong to me, what will Ihara Naa use to learn Dankong in the future?"

No matter how you look at it, Ichihara Naa doesn't seem to have stopped making progress, but there should be no reliable Shinigami among her subordinates, otherwise she would never be so neat when delivering things.

"Sixth level spiritual power..."

"Even if the judgment is slightly wrong, her spiritual pressure has definitely not reached the level of deputy captain."

"The biggest possibility is..."

"She has mastered Duan Kong!"

Haruto felt the cold sweat break out in his hair.

The biggest problem at the moment is not Kidou Gama, but if the opponent can use Zangkong, then his biggest trump card, Zhan Hualun, will become useless - let alone Zan Hualun, which is ten numbers higher. Neither the flying thunder nor the sky-shattering thunder cannon could penetrate Duan Kong's defense.

Of course, this is also part of the opportunity:

Since Ichihara Naa can learn to break the sky when she is a sixth-level spirit, her words about "conservative estimation" are just a cover-up - if she is really good at ghost, the sixth-level spirit can also use the ghost jade.

"I see."

Haruto nodded and put away the Kidōdama in his hand.

In any case, Kidou Jade is indeed a good thing. Even if Haruto himself does not need it in the future, it can be sold to others for a high price: just ten coins can be exchanged for such a treasure, and it can be said that it was picked up for free. Not an exaggeration.

But after learning about the flaws and functions of Kidou Jade, Haruto had more plans.

for example......

————

Volume 1: 018, her astonishing wealth has no successor

"but."

Haruto changed the subject.

"Kidodama is indeed not a treasure that can be bought with just a few coins, but compared to Flower Street... no, compared to the reputation of the entire Yoshiwara District, which one is more important must be in the Ichihara store The long-term mind has its own conclusion.”

These words changed from the previous style and were full of offense.

"Brother Haruto, what do you mean?"

The smile on Ichihara Naa's face disappeared, replaced by a dangerous aura as the corners of her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Please don't get me wrong."

Haruto put one hand behind his back and gently turned the Kidōdama he had just put away.

"I mean......"

"If Store Manager Yiyuan really wants to 'invest', as you just said, this chip is not big enough."

On the contrary, the curvature of the corners of Haruto's eyes became wider.

"You have such a big appetite, brother, can you eat it?"

"Store manager Ichihara might as well give it a try."
