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

Chapter 623 Vacuuming Training

The last gaze of the crowd was fixed on Kensei Muguruma's body, which was bent into a shrimp-like shape after being kicked by Ikuko, his eyes wide open with pain and shock.

boom! ! !

The immense force sent Kensei Muguruma flying backward like a cannonball, crashing through rows of thick trees and leaving a trail of wreckage before finally embedding himself in the distant mountains, raising clouds of dust.

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

Everyone present gasped in astonishment. They had remained in the mortal realm for years, with little opportunity to move their bodies, but that didn't mean they were completely ignorant of Yuko.

We're all in the same boat; we're not exactly intimately familiar with each other, but we're pretty close.

After all, he was a monster who could fight the Captain-Commander and force out the Captain-Commander's Bankai. But witnessing a Captain-level Shinigami being sent flying without any chance to fight back, and even seeing the forest look like it had been crushed by a typhoon, was still visually shocking.

"Ah, that feels so good~" Yu Zi pulled her leg back, stretched her arms with her fingers together and palms facing up, and said in a comfortable yawn, "I've been wanting to teach this carefree guy a lesson for a long time, and I've finally found the opportunity."

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

“But I was really underestimated.” Yuko stretched her arms and muttered, “He suddenly rushed at me without even releasing his Zanpakuto.”

You have no right to say such a thing!

Hiyori shouted and charged towards Ikuko with her body lowered.

"Sever him, slay the giant serpent!!!"

The Zanpakuto was freed in her hands, its slender blade transforming into a large sword with a neatly notched edge. Hiyori dragged it, leaving a furrow in the ground, before it leaped dozens of steps away, then, with its back to the sunlight, it crashed heavily towards Ikuko like a god descending from the heavens.

"Die!!"

Yuko raised her head without changing her expression, and then slowly extended her right hand.

Varied……

Hiyori's right eye twitched violently, then her expression hardened, and she slammed it down hard without missing a beat.

The blade seemed to have struck a wall... no, it was stopped without rebounding or sinking in. Hiyori, who had almost fallen headfirst to the ground due to the inertia of gripping the hilt, steadied herself and looked up at Ikuko in astonishment.

The giant snake's sharp blade was held firmly between the fingers, remaining completely still.

Hiyori instinctively tried to pull her Zanpakuto from between Ikuko's fingers...

I can't pull it out!!!

Yuko's lips curled into a slight smile: "Should I give you a break, Himeji?"

Hiyori's face instantly turned red: "Huh?! What are you kidding me..."

When~

Yu Zi exerted a slight force with her fingertips, flicking the blade. With a crisp sound, a subtle yet powerful force was transmitted through the blade.

My hand... I can't hold it!!!

Hiyori's pupils contracted sharply, her hands gripping the hilt of the sword trembled violently, and she was ultimately sent flying by the force of the impact.

Seeing this, Hirako stepped forward to catch Hiyori as she flew back, and turned to the others, saying, "Stop testing her. Yuko is more powerful than we thought. She's not someone we can handle one-on-one."

“I was surprised too.” Yuko looked down at her fingers, which looked like they were painted with black nail polish. “Under the influence of the Hollow, my power level has increased quite a bit.”

Originally, after mastering the spirit particles, her power already surpassed that of most Shinigami. Now, with the added enhancement of Hollows, her power has reached an even higher level.

Even a Shinigami whose Zanpakuto enhances their power might not be able to gain the upper hand in a power clash with her.

With solemn expressions, everyone drew their Zanpakuto. Although they were somewhat unwilling, Hirako was right.

"Binding Spell Number Seventy-Five: Five Iron Pillars!" The first to launch an attack was Vice-Chief Kido, Yushōda Hachigen.

As he abandoned the binding spell and released himself, five enormous iron pillars descended from the sky, falling directly towards Yuko.

Yu Zi looked up at the five falling iron pillars and exclaimed, "Oh, as expected of the Ghost Dao Master, he can casually produce a high-level Ghost Dao without chanting."

Indeed, it's best to abandon chanting when it comes to the Ghost Path.

Yuzaki Hachigen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Ah, you flatter me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zi suddenly appeared in front of him and said with a smile, "However, in battle, taking out the mage first is the best solution."

Hachigen Yuzaki was sent flying backward at the same speed as Kensei Muguruma, crashing into and breaking several large trees.

Hirako drew his sword and rushed forward. Looking at the forest that had been pierced by the attack and he couldn't help but ask, "Did you come here to cut down trees?"

Wow, so fast! I didn't even see the movements clearly!!!

Yu Zi looked up and smiled: "You can treat it like cutting down a tree, no problem."

Hirako and Ikuko's Zanpakuto clashed briefly before separating. Hirako said solemnly, "Be careful, my Zanpakuto is very special."

"What are you whispering about?" Yayuumaru Lisa, holding a spear-shaped Zanpakuto in both hands, thrust it towards Yuuko.

"Oh, he's kind of handsome, Lisa."

Yuko straightened her chest and tucked in her stomach, and the spear grazed past her from behind.

Over the years in the present world, Yuko has become familiar with many people, especially a few girls, with whom she often chats.

"Tsk." Yayu Maru Lisa clicked her tongue in displeasure. Just as she was about to change her posture, Yuko grabbed the spear with her other hand. Then, a huge force came from the spear, and the spear was thrown away.

……

"Wow, that's quite a brutal fighting style."

"Yuko has gotten stronger too; she hasn't even used her Zanpakuto yet."

On a nearby mountain, Kisuke Urahara crouched atop the peak, gazing into the distance at the battle raging in the valley.

"But the others haven't gotten serious yet either. I feel like we're going to see some good fights." Urahara Kisuke turned around and looked back. "What do you think, Tessai-san?"

Behind him, Woriya Tessai was maintaining the barrier that covered the entire valley.

"I said it would be best if you could lend a hand."

Kisuke Urahara broke out in a cold sweat: "This is only the beginning, isn't it?"

Wo Ling Tiezhai didn't speak, but just looked at a corner of the valley in the distance.

Kisuke Urahara looked in the direction he was pointing, which was exactly where Kensei Muguruma had been sent flying at the beginning.

The trees looked as if they had been crushed by a tornado, collapsing in large swaths. At the end of the valley, at the foot of a large mountain, the barrier set up was blurry and indistinct, like a strobe light.

"You're kidding, right?" Kisuke Urahara said, cold sweat dripping down his face. "Wasn't that just a normal kick?"

No matter what, this barrier can withstand battles at the captain level...

In response to Kisuke Urahara's question, Tessai Gahishi raised his head, his face serious: "Is the sixth car captain... still alive?"

"..."

“It hurts, it hurts!!”

At the end of the valley, Kensei Rokusha struggled to his feet, supporting his back, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

"That woman really went all out."

……

"Fall down, Nifu!"

In the center of the battlefield, as Lisa was thrown away, Hirako released his Zanpakuto.

What kind of design is that?

Yuko raised an eyebrow, looking at the Zanpakuto in Hirako's hand.

The blade itself hasn't changed much, but the end of the handle is now a hollow circle.

Hirako slipped his hand into the circle at the end of the hilt, and the blade seemed to rotate like a clock, supported by Hirako's hand.

"He's handsome, isn't he?"

"It's still not as good as my butterfly."

"...You really don't know how to have a conversation."

"No, I just wanted to humiliate you."

"That's too much!" Hirako almost fell to the ground. He rubbed his forehead, his face instantly turning grim. With a quick turn of the hilt, Hirako grabbed it and charged towards Yuko, swinging his sword at Yuko's right arm.

As Hirako approached, a faint fragrance wafted over.

Yuko knew that this was Hirako's Zanpakuto ability.

An enemy who smells a fragrance will have their senses reversed.

That is to say...

"It's the left side, right?" Yuko steadily parried the attack coming from the left.

"As for vision alone, it seems to be a very useless ability," Yu Zi commented calmly. "Since I am aware of your ability, it is natural that I cannot be unprepared."

"Moreover, even if the abilities are unclear, if a one-hit kill is not possible, the enemy should be able to adapt quickly."

Hirako looked up and said seriously, "I don't want to chat with you anymore."

"Why? I just enjoy humiliating my opponents in battle." Yuko tilted her head in confusion. "It's just a fighting technique."

“In normal life, I will still treat you very gently.”

Hirako's lips twitched uncontrollably; he was at a loss for words.

"Isn't this just a despicable person?!"

Hiyori, who had somehow appeared out of nowhere, swung her Zanpakuto at Ikuko.

"A despicable person?" Yuko raised her Zanpakuto to block her attack. "This is a reasonable way to weaken the enemy, just like Hiyori always rudely likes to curse others."

"Whether it's provoking or slandering, as long as it can make the enemy lose their mind and wear down their will, the battle will be much easier."

Hiyori instantly knelt down on the ground: "So, I'm that kind of person too?"

"No way, you idiot!" Hirako broke out in a cold sweat, grabbed Hiyori's shoulders and shook her violently. "Get serious, you idiot!"

Hiyori slowly raised her head, the light in her eyes gone: "Baldy, I'm so sorry for always calling you Baldy."

"..."

Why does it always seem like he's the one who gets hurt?!

"It's not over yet!!"

Seeing that the two were still dawdling over there, Aikawa Rai couldn't stand it anymore, so he released his Zanpakuto and attacked Yuuko.

"Smash him, Tengu Maru!"

Aikawa Rabu's Zanpakuto transformed into a massive spiked mace, its swing creating a howling wind as if it possessed immense power.

However, Yu Zi flipped her hand, reversed the hilt of her knife, and easily blocked the spiked club without even moving her feet.

Aikawa Rao couldn't help but ask, "Is this even possible?"

He didn't even expect to knock Yuko away in one blow, he just wanted to drive her back. But he didn't even move a step. What does that mean?

He's the captain! The captain!

Even if he's the weakest in terms of skill, he's still the captain!

"Can you call yourself a captain with such a weak attack?" Yuko's eyelids drooped slightly, as if she was a little tired. "I thought from the beginning that the captains of the Gotei 13 were of uneven quality, and any Tom, Dick, or Harry could become a captain."

Aikawa Raibu was shot in the heart and collapsed to his knees.

Hirako couldn't help but say, "You escaped from the Captain-Commander's clutches unscathed just by talking, didn't you?"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me?"

"..."

Yuko turned to face the group and said, "I feel like it would be a bit too much for you to just use Shikai. How about trying Bankai?"

Seeing Yuko looking at him, Fengqiao Lou Shilang's eyelids twitched: "Even if you humiliate me like you would those idiots, I won't be angry."

"You combine combat and music, and while your combat ability is terrible, your music is probably only good for self-entertainment."

Fengqiao Lou Shilang walked to the side in a low voice and started drawing circles.

Hirako was getting a little frustrated: "Are you going to tailor your approach to the dish?"

"Otherwise? All you do is yell 'bald guy, bald guy,' that won't make you angry at all, will it?"

Hirako was about to say that he was very angry, but Hiyori in front of him suddenly came back to life.

"Baldy, won't you get angry if I call you Baldy?"

"……Won't."

Destroy it, he is tired.

After a brief exchange of words, everyone regained their composure and glared angrily at Yuko.

Before Quanxi could even get angry, he was so frightened by the scene before him that he swallowed hard.

He turned to his deputy captain, Chang Nanbai, and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, just a quarrel between friends."

Kensei opened his mouth, about to ask another question.

Hirako's face darkened: "Friend?"

Hiyori: "Arguing?"

Fengqiao Lou Shilang: "That's all?"

Kensei's mouth dropped open.

I have a feeling that someone might die.

Yu Zi coughed lightly: "I hope you can understand what I'm saying. It's just a means of combat, not my own intention."

"Who cares about you!" Hiyori roared in fury, raising her Zanpakuto and smashing it down. "Die!"

"Oh!!! Die!!!" The crowd followed suit.

Quanxi felt a chill run down his spine. What was wrong with these people? How did they suddenly become so terrifying?

Yuko shook her head: "Fortunately, it's just a matter of expending your energy. If it were combat training, I might not be able to resist giving you a piece of my mind."

"If you get angry at this level, the captain's title will be in trouble."

"No wonder you were all fooled by Aizen."

Hirako gritted his teeth and slashed at them: "You're the same way when you talk about us!"

Yu Zi parried his attack expressionlessly and said calmly, "No, I'm standing here by my own will, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"I'm standing here because Yoruichi saved me."

Hirako was taken aback.

"After all, even I would feel guilty about being kept by a sugar daddy."

Everyone almost fell down.

As the battle progressed, everyone's strength waned, yet they couldn't even touch Yuko's clothes.

But the enthusiasm in everyone's eyes remained undiminished.

The battle has shifted from exhaustion to defeating Yuko, and then to simply hitting her once to win.

"That's definitely not some kind of Shunpo (instant step), but rather the power of a Zanpakuto (soul-clever sword)."

Hirako, hunched over, wiped the sweat from his cheeks and looked ahead, panting heavily.
