Fate in Bleach: Unlimited Blade Works [Isekai]

Chapter 55 – Surveillance

Hearing Ailin say this, a glint flashed through Sōken Ishida's eyes. If possible, he naturally also hoped he wouldn't have to die.

"Little Ishida brat, I have a way for you to live, it just depends on whether you're willing to pay the price."

"Please tell me."

With his own life on the line, Sōken Ishida also respectfully stood before Ailin to listen.

"I just told you earlier, the greatest fault of Quincies lies in their power of Destruction. You can continue completing a Quincy's cultivation, you can also get married and have children, passing Quincies down through the generations.

However, from now on, the Quincies of your bloodline will all need to leave their names in Soul Society and accept the supervision of Shinigami. When you encounter Hollows, you can battle Hollows to protect the people of the Human World from harm. But you cannot directly kill the Hollows.

You can contact the stationed Shinigami for the Shinigami to complete killing the Hollow, sending the Hollow's soul into the cycle of reincarnation. What do you think, can you agree to this?"

This was the idea that appeared in Ailin's mind for how to allow Quincies to continue existing after knowing this child was called "Sōken Ishida".

Sōken Ishida's aptitude wasn't good and he wasn't very strong. But he had a genius son and a grandson favored by fate.

At the very least, before attaining power rivaling Yhwach, Ailin still wished for those who could block Yhwach’s path to be born. Only for some reason, when saying these words, a thought rose up in Ailin's mind.

Over a hundred years later, when the Quincies surrounded and attacked Sōken Ishida until his strength ran out and he was killed by the Hollows, were the words he said today also a contributing factor?

Based on the duration of the battle, Sōken Ishida definitely had enough strength to kill all the Hollows attacking him.

But because of that shortcoming of "A Quincy's power of Destruction kills Hollows and annihilates the Hollows' souls, reducing the total number of souls in the world", Sōken Ishida didn't rise with the intention of destroying Hollows from beginning to end.

If Sōken Ishida was born in Naruto's world, he would definitely be like those two of the Uchiha clan, possessing the mentality of "Hokage".

"I agree!"

As expected, even if it meant being monitored by Shinigami and losing some freedom, Sōken Ishida, who valued the world, still chose to agree.

"Mm, then go practice by yourself. When the Shinigami in charge of purification in the Human World come here for their shift, I'll introduce you guys."

"Mm."

Having put down the greatest weight in his heart, the rested Sōken Ishida continued practicing under the waterfall.

After that previous exchange with Ailin, the potential Sōken Ishida erupted with made him improve greatly during his recent cultivation. In just the short few days, he completed the first step of a Quincy's cultivation, successfully manifesting a steady spirit bow.

Now, Sōken Ishida could thump his chest and say he was a mature Quincy!

Within the Kuchiki Household's courtyard in Soul Society, white light suddenly lit up. A massive amount of spirit particles gathered within the radiance, condensing into two sets of doors.

Boom!

When the doors fully solidified, they slid open to both sides, revealing an space channel emitting white light. Next second, Ailin's figure appeared from within the Senkaimon.

When going to the Human World, Ailin and the 2nd Division members used the 13th Division's Senkaimon.

When returning, there was no need to go through so much trouble. He could just directly use the Kuchiki Household's Senkaimon to return to the Kuchiki clan.

Although Senkaimons were said to be under the monitoring of the Thirteen Divisions on the surface, which Noble House in Soul Society didn't privately control a few Senkaimons of their own to the Human World?

As one of the four great noble clans, the Kuchiki clan naturally also possessed a Senkaimon to the Human World.

Sensing the Reiatsu at home, Ailin first walked towards the backyard. It was still a familiar scene. Beneath the cherry blossom tree, white-haired, white-bearded Ginrei Kuchiki stood watching over Byakuya’s training.

Byakuya’s aptitude was very high. At the very least, Ginrei felt he had the potential to surpass himself.

However, the young Byakuya’s mentality was unstable. If he didn't watch over him, who knows where he might run off to play.

Suddenly, Ginrei opened his eyes. "You've returned."

"Mm, I'm back, Father-in-Law."

Ailin stood by Ginrei's side, watching Byakuya practice his swords together. "Byakuya has grown a lot in the half year I haven't seen him."

"Based on Byakuya’s current rate of improvement, he should have hopes of attaining the birth of his Zanpakutō in around three years and complete the release of his Zanpakutō."

Ailin was nearly forty when he completed the pregnancy and birth of his Zanpakutō and if not for his powerful abilities, perhaps his level now would still only be bottom-seat of a Division.

Yet Byakuya had already attained such strength before twenty. Within a century, he would definitely be able to complete the training for Bankai.

"Mm, but compared to you, Byakuya still falls far behind." Ginrei Kuchiki nodded.

Byakuya talent went without saying and surpassing him was only a matter of time. However, regardless of how confident Ginrei felt towards Byakuya, he still only felt Byakuya had hopes of breaking past the level of a Century Captain.

To truly want to reach that boundary, Byakuya would still need over three hundred years of cultivation at the minimum.

Yet this son-in-law of his had already reached this boundary three years ago, if not even longer ago. If not for Haruko's situation, this secret might not have been discovered by anyone until now.

Speaking of which...

"That's right, half a year ago, 2nd Division Captain Yoruichi Shihōin and her 3rd Seat Kisuke Urahara came by the Kuchiki Household saying you had entrusted them to take a look at Haruko's situation.

During this time, they've taken Haruko with them for a period every so often. Each time Haruko returns, her condition has improved greatly. So I didn't interfere. Today is the day Haruko goes to their place again so you don't need to worry."

"Mm." Ailin nodded.

When he didn't sense Haruko’s Reiatsu at the Kuchiki Household, Ailin already had some guesses.

In the end, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin still chose to take action to help Haruko.

"Uncle." At this time, having finished his practice, Byakuya noticed Ailin's presence. Sheathing his sword, he ran over to Ailin.

"Uncle, let's compete in Shunpo! That cat monster said I have to at least beat you before having the qualifications to challenge her."

"Oh? Captain Yoruichi actually said that?" Ailin's brows quirked up slightly as he felt somewhat amused inside.

When it came to Shunpo, Yoruichi's attainment had reached the peak. In all of Soul Society, not a single person could match Yoruichi in Shunpo. That was also why Yoruichi had the title "Goddess of Flash".

Perhaps only Royal Guard Tenjirō Kirinji's attainments in Shunpo could surpass Yoruichi's. But unfortunately, Ailin was that exception.

During these three years for Haruko’s sake, Ailin hadn't forged any new Zanpakutō so his Reiryoku didn't increase by much. But this didn't mean Ailin's strength didn't increase greatly.
