A gentle breeze whispered in his ears as Sosuke bathed in the warm sunlight from above, lying on the lush green grass with a contented smile on his face.
It was a rare moment of relaxation, which made him very happy.
In the blink of an eye, Sosuke had been in the Fire Country's capital for almost a month.
I wonder how Tsunade and Jiraiya are doing!? Knowing their personalities, they are probably working hard and striving for their goals...
His mind involuntarily recalled the image of a beautiful figure with golden ponytails, the girl who once stood before him with confidence and assurance, declaring her ambition to become the female Hokage.
Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in front of Sosuke's mask and forcefully interrupted his thoughts.
Sosuke looked over gently.
He saw Kyōka Suigetsu, dressed in a floral kimono, with a small frown on her face, looking at him unhappily.
"Sosuke, are you thinking about someone else again!?"
Sosuke couldn't help but smile wryly at this.
Since coming here, he had been in more frequent contact with Kyōka Suigetsu. He had become more adept at using her abilities and some techniques related to spiritual energy.
"Suigetsu, I'm just reminiscing about a friend. After all, it's been almost a month since I left the village."
Seeing Kyōka Suigetsu's unhappy expression, Sosuke could only explain softly. In his eyes, Suigetsu seemed to have become increasingly strange lately.
Upon hearing Sosuke's gentle explanation, Kyōka Suigetsu's expression eased.
In fact, since Hōgyoku fell into a deep sleep, she had planned to interact with Sosuke in a different way, no longer always standing behind him like before. She wanted to be by his side.
However, it was difficult for a Zanpakuto like her to accomplish this. Even Kyōka Suigetsu could only appear for a short time each day.
Just then...
"Aizen! I did it!"
A light, girlish voice filled with excitement interrupted the two of them.
Sosuke saw Shiji Yuko with a happy smile on her face, dragging a huge grass carp that was over a meter long.
With a proud expression, she looked at Sosuke.
Kyōka Suigetsu stood in place and glanced at her lightly. There was no expression on her delicate face, and she slowly disappeared from the spot.
Sosuke narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the enormous grass carp being dragged on the ground.
When he saw that the fish had no visible wounds, a surprised expression flashed in Sosuke's eyes behind the mask.
Every person has their own style of Zanpakuto.
It is an instinctual power used for attack. In the world of Shinigami, the power of the soul materializes as a Zanpakuto. However, Zanpakuto does not necessarily mean using a sword to slash.
Slaughter, madness, deception, brutality, fear, balance, tenacity... All inner emotions represent a form of expression.
And this ideology can be transformed into a unique physical form through understanding and training in Zanpakuto.
Sosuke's form of Zanpakuto was absolute control within a certain range.
Even the most subtle existence, he could sense and touch. Within this area, it was as if he amplified all his senses several times over!
He could easily anticipate and evade all conventional physical attacks.
But he didn't expect that simply teaching the training methods of Zanpakuto to this princess would enable her to grasp the rudimentary stage of Zanpakuto!
Seeing the lifeless fish before him, which had not a single cut on it, Sosuke couldn't help but feel astonished.
Although he couldn't determine the exact form of her Zanpakuto, one thing was certain Shiji Yuko was a genius! A true genius!
"How is it, Aizen? Are you surprised?"
"I wonder if I have reached the realm of Zanpakuto!"
Shiji Yuko looked at Sosuke with anticipation, hoping to hear a satisfying answer from him.
Sosuke kept his surprise hidden and smiled slightly as he looked up.
"Yes, Yuko, you have reached the threshold of Zanpakuto. It's truly remarkable."
Upon hearing this, Shiji Yuko's face lit up with joy, looking at Sosuke with pride.
"Well, well, I told you before, these are just simple and easy tasks for me. But Aizen, I have to thank you for your guidance. I'm really grateful."
Although her tone carried a hint of laughter, her gratitude was sincere.
Sosuke glanced lightly at her hands, covered in scars from continuous training, and couldn't help but smile.
Such a dishonest child. Even though she is a princess, she willingly fights for her own destiny...
However, at that moment, one of Princess Yuko's subordinates brought some bad news.
The news came from Daimyo Shiji's trusted retainer.
It was said that the Daimyo had received some information that a group of ninjas had been plotting against Princess Yuko in the past few days. As a result, many attendants were sent to protect her.
On the other hand, they were also preparing these personnel to escort the princess back to the Daimyo's residence.
Upon seeing the order, Princess Yuko's expression changed from a smiling face to a cold and indifferent one.
"I understand."
She said coldly.
It seemed like she had returned to the Princess Yuko of a month ago.
Sosuke stood by the side, unnoticed, observing everything as an outsider.
The lack of information made it difficult for him to determine the cause of this situation.
"I apologize, Aizen. I need you to escort me back to the Daimyo's residence."
Princess Yuko spoke with a lack of enthusiasm, as if she had lost her previous spirit.
To this, Sosuke replied softly.
"It's alright. It's my duty."
His voice was as magnetic as ever, gentle and refined.
"A duty, huh..."
Princess Yuko muttered to herself, then turned and left without looking back.
Witnessing this scene, Sosuke's eyes behind the mask shimmered with a strange light.
Those who received this information, Kaga and Dou, hurriedly arrived.
Together, they escorted Princess Yuko as they rushed towards the Daimyo's residence.
....
Outside a clan settlement in Konoha.
At this moment, Might Dai was full of enthusiasm, busy cleaning and wiping a delicate house!
"Here!" "Here!" "And here too!"
"I must clean it thoroughly before Shimura Himiko-sensei comes back! After all, this is a mission Shimura Himiko-sensei worked hard to find for me!"
"Youth! It's about completing each task with full confidence and high spirits!"
Might Dai jumped up and down in the house, but if one looked closely, they would notice that every move he made was incredibly precise!
Despite wearing heavy wrist guards, he didn't cause any damage to the surface of the house!
At this moment, Shimura Himiko returned to her home with her purple hair.
"Shimura Himiko-sensei! I've completely cleaned the house! I didn't miss a single tile!"
Shimura Himiko's face still had its beautiful and captivating charm, but now it carried an indifferent expression as she casually replied to Might Dai.
"Well... well, I know. This is your reward for this mission. Hmm, go back and rest early, recharge your energy. When Sosuke returns, we will embark on a major operation."
"Alright, Shimura Himiko-sensei!"
After saying that, Might Dai quickly disappeared like the wind!
Watching Might Dai's swift departure, Shimura Himiko couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
"He's really a terrifying guy..."
Lying on the bed, Shimura Himiko couldn't help but think about the events of these days. Is this terrifying Might Dai really a freshly graduated student from the ninja school!?
It was said that such a guy almost missed the ninja school. They really weren't responsible enough! Maybe she should talk to her uncle about this issue!
But with this guy's way of doing things... is he really suitable to join the Root...
Damn that annoying brat, does a mission really take this long? He still hasn't come back.
Lying on the bed, Shimura Himiko quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to see that annoying guy with a slight smile on his face...
