Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 641 The Strongest Zanpakuto

Yu Zi was somewhat speechless: "What do you mean by 'real' or 'fake'? Do you really think a god would lose to a mere old man?"

Yoruichi almost lost her composure: "You've successfully made me lose faith in your Bankai."

It was supposed to be a pretty impressive ability, but why did it feel so underwhelming to Yuko?

Kisuke Urahara smiled slightly and started playing with his paper fan again: "This is indeed a power that only a god can possess. I can't even imagine who could defeat you once Ikuko has fully mastered it."

Yuuko's spiritual pressure is now considered to be among the top tier. Although Captain-Commander Yamamoto's spiritual pressure level is the strongest among the top tier, Urahara Kisuke still doesn't think Yuuko will lose if they really fight.

There was no way around it; Yuuko already possessed a near-immortal body, and now her Bankai ability was so incredibly powerful. Given that their spiritual pressure levels weren't that different, Kisuke Urahara couldn't imagine the possibility of Yuuko losing.

Maybe it really will be like what Yuko said, that he'll punch Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Yu Zi gently shook her head: "The higher the attack intensity... or rather, the greater the impact and the wider the range, the greater the consumption of spiritual energy."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that you just reversed your time by several tens of seconds. That was only because your attack was only released into the air, so the impact was minimal."

“Moreover, the reversal just now has already consumed almost all of my spiritual power.” Yuko said, her aura gradually subsiding as she deactivated her Bankai. “If we expand the scope and influence a little more, the time will be shortened further.”

“No, the intensity is already sufficient.” Kisuke Urahara was not surprised. It would be strange if such a powerful ability didn’t consume much energy.

Even so, this ability is still incredibly powerful.

Without exaggeration, in terms of ability alone, this is the strongest Zanpakuto that Kisuke Urahara has ever seen.

Kisuke Urahara waved his fan: "Next, all you need to do is get familiar with this power, and then you can focus your training on increasing your spiritual pressure."

Yuko sheathed her Zanpakuto and scratched her hair: "Training...it seems like a lot of trouble."

Yoruichi nearly collapsed, unable to contain herself as she said, "With that kind of ability, how come you have absolutely no ambition?"

Yu Zi spread her hands: "Isn't it precisely because my abilities are too strong that I'm too lazy to cultivate?"

Yoruichi's lips twitched violently twice, but before she could explode, Yuko smiled slightly: "Just kidding, I'll find time to cultivate."

"Just wait until I fully master Bankai, then I'll take you back to beat up old man Yamamoto and liberate Soul Society."

"No... there's really no need for that." Yoruichi's lips twitched even more violently.

It's becoming less and less reliable.

Yu Zi rubbed her stomach, stretched, and said, "Alright, that's enough for the performance. I'm starving, I need to hurry back and find something to eat."

Yoruichi remarked, "This is so convenient. We can replenish our spiritual energy directly by eating."

For people like them, eating can indeed replenish their spiritual energy, but it's impossible to replenish as much as they eat; they still need to rely more on recuperation.

Yuko's physique allows her to move almost freely across the battlefield.

If you get hungry, leave the game to replenish your energy.

Yu Zi's lips curled into a slight smile, and she said seductively, "Envious? How about becoming a ghost with me? Who knows, maybe a bite from me will work~"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes: "Forget it, this vampire setting is way too perfunctory."

Compared to Yoruichi's rejection, Urahara Kisuke was much more direct.

He excitedly asked, "Is that okay?"

"Where do you want me to bite? On the neck?"

Kisuke Urahara excitedly lifted his collar, revealing his neck, and moved closer to Ikuko.

“…Disgusting, get out!” Yuko suddenly felt a chill and, seeing Urahara Kisuke constantly approaching, couldn’t help but kick him away.

Kisuke Urahara plunged into the ground, struggling to get up.

Yoruichi rubbed her forehead. These two are such a handful... Hmm? Why do they seem a bit quieter than usual?

Yoru glanced around instinctively and only realized how quiet the boy was when he saw Jinta standing to the side.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Shen Tai was trembling with fear, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

"..."

Was the child frightened by Yuko?

Kisuke Urahara climbed out of the ground, dusted himself off, and said, "Tessai should have already prepared lunch. Ikuko, why don't you stay and eat with us?"

Yu Zi shook her head: "No need, I'm very hungry right now, I feel like I could eat an elephant."

Kisuke Urahara snorted twice and said proudly, "Don't worry, I anticipated this situation before it started, so I gave advance notice and prepared enough food."

“I see…” Yuko pondered for a moment, “Then I’ll take my leave.”

Since they aren't afraid of being eaten out of house and home, there's no need for me to be reserved anymore.

The group climbed up the stairs from the ground level.

"Everyone is out."

As soon as everyone came out, Xiaoyu, who was waiting outside, came up to greet them.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, has Mr. Tessai finished cooking?" Yuko smiled and patted her head. "I'm starving."

Xiaoyu chuckled and nuzzled Yuzi's hand: "It's all done."

"Yosh, let's eat!"

Yuko pulled Yoruichi along and walked quickly to the back.

Xiaoyu walked at the back, looking at the silent Jinta with some curiosity. She stepped forward and tried to take his hand, asking with concern, "Jinta? What's wrong?"

Jinta instinctively avoided her hand, saying with some impatience, "Urusai, what's it to you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly shuddered, as if he had been targeted by some ferocious beast.

Jin Tai swallowed hard, then looked up shakily. Not far ahead, Yu Zi had stopped walking, her face dark as she turned her head, her eyes, like those of a wild beast, fixed on him.

"Eek!" Shen Tai trembled all over, his voice much softer, "No, it's nothing."

Yuko withdrew her gaze and walked away with her back to the crowd.

"Do you think it's fun to scare children?" Yoruichi asked, her eyes narrowed as she saw this.

Yuko crossed her hands: "Even though it's about modifying souls, bullying your companions is still not allowed."

Yoruichi blinked: "Really? But that child is just a little bad at expressing himself, he doesn't actually dislike Yuu."

“That way of expressing it is wrong in itself.” Yu Zi rolled her eyes. “As the parents of that child, you should pay more attention to the child’s moral education.”

"Don't ignore this fact just because the child was adopted."

Yoruichi retorted, "Are you a doctor or a teacher?"

Kisuke Urahara replied with a smile, "That wasn't found; I carefully nurtured it."

Yu Zi glanced sideways: "Carefully?"

Kisuke Urahara narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "It's nothing, I'll keep an eye on that child's upbringing."

The dinner table.

The group of people stared wide-eyed at Yuko, who was constantly moving her mouth and hands.

"Eat up, why aren't you eating?" Yu Zi looked at everyone in confusion, her hands still busy picking food from the dishes for herself.

Ye Yi's eyes twitched: "No, you eat it."

It's like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Let's give this idiot a break today.

……

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Zi patted her still-unresponsive stomach and said contentedly, "It's alright, about half full."

"No matter how many times I see it, it's just too exaggerated." Yoruichi sighed. "How can her stomach not move at all?"

"Because they were all absorbed."

Kisuke Urahara sighed and said, "Luckily, I'm only half full. If I had eaten too much, I might have gone bankrupt."

Yoruichi couldn't help but chuckle: "Who was it that was talking big just now?"

Kisuke Urahara rested one hand on the table, looking at Yoruichi with interest: "If we really go bankrupt, Yoruichi, you'll be out of pocket money."

Yoruichi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered, pulled up Ikuko beside her, and looked at Urahara Kisuke with disdain: "Who wants your allowance?"

“I have Yuko by my side.”

Kisuke Urahara was speechless: "Bad cat."

"Then, I'll go back first."

After eating and drinking her fill, Yuko left Urahara Store.

……

In the evening, Yoruichi emerged from the floorboards of the clinic lobby, easily made her way to the back, and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

"Yuko." Yoruichi called out twice but received no response.

Although there are quite a few rooms on the second floor, including a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two bedrooms, the space is actually not very large and can be seen from all sides.

Yoruichi went straight to Yuuko's room, but found no one on the bed. His expression immediately changed, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

A moment later, Yoruichi saw Yuuko sitting on the wall with her back to her on the rooftop, and her blood rushed to her head.

"Fool!"

Yoruichi's sharp shout startled Yuko, who instinctively turned around.

Seeing Yoruichi's angry expression, Yuuko knew that Yoruichi had misunderstood, and quickly waved her hand to explain.

"Wait, Yoruichi, you've misunderstood..."

"What do you think your life is?" Yoruichi said angrily as she charged toward Ikuko.

Upon hearing this, Yuko was stunned for a moment, and then, due to Yoruichi's sprint, she subconsciously leaned back, followed by a feeling of weightlessness, and lay back on her back.

"Forehead……"

After a while, Yuko was hanging upside down on the rooftop wall, her right calf grabbed by Yoruichi, who then pulled her up.

"You idiot!" Yoruichi raised her hand with a dark face and slapped him hard across the face again.

Having learned her lesson from last time, Yuko was already a bit overwhelmed this time and immediately reached out to stop him.

"You've misunderstood! I just came here to enjoy the scenery!" Yuko quickly said, afraid that if she didn't explain properly, Yoruichi would misunderstand and she would get slapped again.

As Yuko spoke, she pointed behind her.

"Look, we can see the sunset here, isn't it beautiful?"

Yoruichi looked in the direction Yuuko was pointing, and saw the last vestiges of the crimson sunset falling on the horizon.

Ye's eyelid twitched: "Then why did you suddenly jump off the building just now?"

"Wasn't I scared by you?" Yuko couldn't hold back anymore. "Besides, do you think I could die from falling from this height?"

Yoruichi was silent for a moment, then realized it was true. But wouldn't that make her look a bit foolish?

She wasn't very confident: "This scared you?"

I thought Yuko would argue back, but I was surprised to hear Yuko say something instead.

"Well... when you rushed at me and said those things, I almost thought I was going to get chopped up." Yuko's lips twitched slightly.

She had eaten Muzan's flesh and blood, so she knew perfectly well the scene of Muzan being scared half to death by his own brother.

Yoruichi just now unintentionally replicated it completely.

Hmm, all that's missing is a red-hot Nichirin Blade.

"Slashed? Why?" Yoruichi was puzzled, since she wasn't holding a knife.

Instead of rambling on about this, Yuko asked, "By the way, is Yoruichi coming?"

Yoruichi curled her lip: "What? Not welcome?"

"..."

Yoruichi sighed and said, "Because Kisuke said he forgot something and asked me to remind you a few things."

"Instructions?" Yu Zi's expression froze. "What is it?"

"He told you not to sneak back to Soul Society alone."

Hearing this, Yuko understood even less.

"Why would I go back to that run-down place if I have nothing better to do?"

"tattered……"

"Isn't that right?" Yuko spread her arms, revealing some tall buildings in the distance. "Compared to the human world, what do you think Soul Society is if not a piece of junk?"

Yoruichi, sweating profusely, said, "Kisuke means he's worried you're getting arrogant."

"Am I a pufferfish?" Yuko looked speechless. "And you're still so arrogant."

Yoruichi scratched her head: "Fine, as long as you didn't mean it that way."

"How could I do something so stupid before I'm fully familiar with Bankai? What if I run out of stamina?"

Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy reserves of a first-class spiritual pressure are more than enough, but Yuko's powerful Bankai consumes an astronomical amount of spiritual energy, which is unbearable for most people.

He might be able to take on that old man Yamamoto one-on-one, but then he can only wait to die.

Yoruichi's face darkened: "...You better behave yourself, hey."

She sighed again. "What Kisuke means is that, Ikuko, your ability is indeed very powerful, but that ability still belongs to the Zanpakuto, to the Shinigami."

Yuko became more serious: "Are you referring to what he said, breaking down the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows?"

“That’s right.” Yoruichi nodded slightly. “Don’t let Yamamoto’s reputation as the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years fool you. I truly believe you can win.”

"But the greatest danger doesn't lie with the old man."

Yu Zi smiled slightly: "After all, no matter how strong the old man is, he's still within the realm of death, right?"

"Hmm." Yoru's eyelids drooped slightly. "The power of the Hogyoku is too great. Although it is not yet perfect, we still do not know what will happen."

Yuko pondered for a moment. She could only be considered to have Hollow power within her, not to have broken through the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows.

Breaking down the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollows.

This topic sounds very interesting.

It's amazing that these two guys can think of the same thing.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of reckless guy."

"Hmm." Yoruichi was quite at ease with the serious Ikuko.

After all, this guy is really reassuring when he's serious; he never lies.
