"Poison?" Saito was puzzled. She never heard of someone modifying a kido technique or any other poisonous kido. And besides, is it even possible to poison a kido technique?
"Also, I'll remind you of the ability of my Zanpakutō, lest you call me mean later." Yamabuki said with great confidence, "The ability of my Zanpakutō is also to use poison. Once my blade pierces you, it will paralyze your body! It's not too late to regret now."
Saito had a look of disdain on his face.
Watching the two of them compete, the other captains had expressions of watching the fun; some were eating melon seeds, some were eating popcorn, and some were waving flags and cheering on the side, just watching the fun without worrying about any trouble!
Yamabuki and Saito stood in the training ground and stared at each other.
"Saito, do you want to increase the stakes?" asked Yamabuki.
"Okay! If you lose, how about you be my slave for a month?" Saito said with a dangerous smile.
"No problem. If you lose, just promise me to do one thing." Yamabuki smiled and directly increased the bet.
Humph, I'll kill you!
Kirinji waved a large flag and shouted, "The competition begins!"
Yamabuki slapped the ground with one hand: "Bakudō #21. Red Smoke Escape."
In an instant, the venue was filled with red smoke.
Saito thought of what Yamabuki had said before, that the smoke was poisonous, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose with her hands and stepped back. Then she stared at the smoke carefully, looking for the whereabouts of Yamabuki, fearing that this guy would rush over from a tricky angle.
Saito was intently staring at the front when a cold blade extended from behind her and gently touched her neck.
"The battle is over! You lost!" Yamabuki looked smug as he whispered into her ear.
Everyone present was confused. What was going on? Didn't the match just start?
Saito immediately guessed what was going on.
"The ability of your Zanpakuto is not poison! Is it the ability to move silently?" Saito said angrily, "How dare you lie to me?"
"How can we believe what the enemy says? All is fair in war. Let me think about what I should ask you to do." Yamabuki rarely felt proud, and his heart was filled with joy.
He initially said that the Red Smoke Release was poisonous and lied about the power of his Zanpakutō in order to lower Saito's vigilance. He then used the Red Smoke Release to hide her vision and then used the ability to control space to teleport behind Saito and silently put the knife on her neck.
This operation is simply perfect! The powerful enemy was defeated without bloodshed!
"You bastard! How dare you play such dirty tricks on me!" The Reiatsu on Saito's body exploded instantly, and the red Reiatsu swept across like a tornado, and he turned around and slashed with a knife.
Yamabuki was fearless and chopped at her head-on with his sword.
The two swords faced each other, and the captain-level Reiatsu collided. The collision directly pressed the weaker team members to the ground.
Saito's brows twitched. If she remembered correctly, when she fought with this kid more than a month ago, this kid was chased by her and ran around like a monkey. How could his strength improve so much in just one month?
As the captain of the original Sixth Division, it's so embarrassing to lose to this little monkey!
Thinking of this, Saito became so angry that her sword skills became faster and faster and finally turned into phantoms.
However, all those watching the fight were masters among masters, and they could see the flaws in Saito's swordsmanship at a glance.
She was now eager to win, so she attacked fiercely. Her attack seemed fierce, but in fact it had many flaws.
"Clang!!!"
The swords collided with a loud bang!
The knife in Saito's hand stopped less than two inches away from Yamabuki's neck, while the tip of Yamabuki's knife was already tightly pressed against Saito's chest!
"Can't you afford to lose, little guy? It's not like I did anything weird to you. After all, no one would release their desire on a washboard. Let's cancel our bet, alas!" Yamabuki was directly murderous.
"Washboard?" Saito lowered his head to glance at his chest. Although not flat, it was far inferior to Batsu'unsai's majestic appearance, with mountains and peaks on all sides!
"Go to hell with the washboard!!!" Saito slashed fiercely with his knife. Yamabuki once again activated the Silver Angel's teleportation ability and instantly moved behind Saito, with the knife placed on her neck again.
"I've already told you that our bet is invalid. You don't need to be so nervous!" Yamabuki spoke with a slight smile that definitely meant to provoke her.
Saito threw the knife to the ground angrily: "You said it's invalid? Fine, I promise to help you do one thing; anything is fine, even if you ask me to draw the knife and cut my own throat; I will be willing to do it!"
Yamabuki was so happy that his heart was blossoming. It turned out that provoking this arrogant and hot-tempered kid was the perfect way to deal with her.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I have thought about it." Yamabuki looked proud.
It's so hard to be proud of yourself!
After lying dormant for more than a month, I finally stood up!
Kinroku Izuhara gently pushed his glasses and said, "This kid has been wandering around in the Hueco Mundo, and I didn't expect his strength to improve so quickly. Although his Reiatsu is still immature, it may not be easy for us to defeat him easily!"
Yamamoto also saw this scene in the training ground.
He nodded with great satisfaction.
"Yamabuki, come here; I have something to tell you." Yamamoto said.
Yamabuki hurried over.
Yamamoto did not ask why Yamabuki mastered other powers but directly asked, "Yamabuki, with your current strength, you are more than qualified to be the captain. Do you want to be the captain of the first team?"
"Absolutely not. You don't pay me anyway, so I don't want to be a captain. It's good enough to be my staff officer." Yamabuki refused without hesitation.
"Really?" Yamamoto smiled dotingly. Since the boy didn't want to, he wouldn't force him. "If you change your mind, you can always come to me. With your current strength, being a vice-captain is really a waste of your talent. By the way, what do you think of Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng?"
Yamabuki didn't understand what the captain meant. Why did the topic suddenly turn to these two guys?
"There are nice subordinates! What's wrong?" Yamabuki asked blankly.
"It's okay. Didn't you keep clamoring for more people? I'll transfer these two people to your command first. You can give them instructions if you have anything." Yamamoto said with a smile.
Just now, if Yamabuki had expressed a hint of mistrust towards these two individuals through his tone, Yamamoto would have swiftly put an end to the issue and caused those two individuals to physically disappear.
As I said before, although Yamamoto does not trust Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng, he believes in Yamabuki's judgment.
