Chapter 60: What Do You Mean "Broken Mechanics"?
The black, pinwheel-shaped Mangekyo slowly rotated. Yato Uchiha’s gaze swept past the edge of his blade as he walked toward Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
As his training deepened, the release level of Akame had also progressed to the next stage.
What he awakened was still a Mangekyo eye technique, but this time, it was [Kamui]!
Both eyes possessed Kamui, but their focuses were different.
The left eye leaned toward offense, twisting space by focusing its line of sight on a target, boasting an incredibly long effective range.
The right eye governed defense, capable of sucking an opponent into an alternate dimension through physical contact, or swapping parts of his own body into the dimension to make attacks "phase through" him!
Of course, since both were Kamui, the fundamental nature of the two eye techniques was identical, and using them in tandem yielded boundless power.
A mechanism that was already broken had just become even more broken.
Even in the world of Naruto, Kamui with both eyes fully intact had only been used briefly for a few seconds by Kakashi Hatake.
But now, Yato Uchiha could use it continuously through his deeper "Third Stage Shikai"!
When he first awakened this ability a few days ago, he had played around with it for quite a while, having the time of his life.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi had put in a lot of work over this past month gathering intelligence. He had thoroughly researched all of Yato’s various abilities and formulated a specialized combat plan.
But who could have expected that Yato Uchiha would turn right around and whip out an even more broken mechanic!
Watching the young 3rd Seat walk toward him with sword in hand, Mayuri silently pulled out a flesh-mending serum and injected himself.
That descending slash from earlier had ultimately inflicted a severe wound. If he didn’t quickly mend the flesh on his abdomen, his intestines were absolutely going to spill out.
With victory firmly in his grasp, Yato Uchiha shook his head and said softly:
"From now on, remember to use proper honorifics when you see me, 4th Seat Kurotsuchi."
He quickened his pace. Gathering spirit particles, he violently unleashed Shunpo and brought his sword down in a ferocious slash!
Mayuri Kurotsuchi held up his broken blade, intending to block it slightly, only for the strike to cut right through empty space.
’It happened again... So it seems to be a spatial displacement ability...’
This thought flashed quickly through Mayuri’s mind. By the time he snapped back to reality, Akame had already carved into his body.
It pierced through his collarbone, punctured his lung while cleverly avoiding the heart, and finally severed his vertebrae, leaving a gaping, bloody hole.
For Mayuri Kurotsuchi, it was a severe injury, but not a fatal one.
"Oh my... It seems I arrived at the perfect time."
A gentle, feminine voice drifted over from behind.
Wearing a white haori and with her long hair braided down the front of her chest, Unohana Retsu walked through the shattered main gates of the 12th Division, a warm smile on her face.
"Captain Unohana." Yato Uchiha greeted her respectfully:
"What brings you here so suddenly?"
"Ah, you’ll have to ask your Captain about that." Unohana crouched down to examine Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s horrifying injuries, her tone remaining gentle:
"He told me yesterday that the 12th Division might have a severely injured patient that an ordinary healer wouldn’t be able to treat, so I needed to come over personally."
"I’m truly sorry for the trouble," Yato smiled just as brightly.
"I apologize. Our new Captain is a bit playful."
"The current Gotei 13 needs vitality. Otherwise, if it were just an old fogey with one foot in the grave like me, how could we continue to protect the Seireitei?"
"Eh? Captain Unohana, how are you old? When I first met you, I honestly thought you were a new student at the Shin’o Academy."
"Hehe... Yato-kun, you certainly know how to flatter a woman."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi remained pinned by the Zanpakuto, standing rigidly in place for quite a while.
He was quite patient at first, listening to Yato Uchiha and Unohana Retsu chat. But eventually, his consciousness began to blur, and he finally couldn’t help but interrupt:
"If you don’t mind, could you please stop the bleeding first? Thank you for your hard work, Captain Unohana, and..." The corners of his mouth drooped, his voice muffled:
"...3rd Seat Uchiha."
"You should have said so earlier! I thought you were enjoying the feeling." Yato chuckled and pulled Akame out.
Not a single drop of blood spilled out, nor did his internal organs burst through the wound. Unohana Retsu used some unknown method, merely placing her hand on Mayuri’s shoulder, and his injuries were instantly stabilized.
However, because they were standing so close, Yato couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at Unohana Retsu.
Pale skin, refined and gentle features, a few strands of soft hair clinging to her neck—her eyes and brows carried a serene, gentle elegance forged by the passage of time.
Standing right there, she was the textbook definition of a classical beauty.
"Oh, right... 3rd Seat Yato."
Seemingly completely unaware that the boy was sneaking glances at her, Unohana Retsu maintained her pleasant smile:
"What was that ability you just used?"
"A newly awakened ability, Kamui."
"Truly impressive. With a Multi-Stage Release type Zanpakuto, you’ll reach Captain level very soon."
"Not at all, I still have a long way to go."
"Don’t be so modest, 3rd Seat Yato. Back in the day, I had a pretty good relationship with Furofushi Saito, so I’m somewhat familiar with this type of Zanpakuto. I just wonder... what does your Akame feel like?"
"Huh? Feel like?"
"Yes..." Unohana Retsu nodded slightly. Looking incredibly gentle and soft, she even appeared a bit shy:
"What it feels like to have this blade carve into a body."
Yato Uchiha’s face twitched. He took a few steps back, almost instinctively phasing through space with Kamui.
"Oh my, kids these days really should be sent to the 11th Division for some proper tempering."
Unohana Retsu sighed, subtly mocking Yato’s lack of masculinity.
She gently tapped her finger against her Zanpakuto. In the next second, a massive creature resembling a manta ray materialized on the ground.
With a loud gulp, it swallowed the miserable Mayuri Kurotsuchi whole.
"Minazuki, let’s head back." Unohana Retsu sat atop her Zanpakuto and turned her head:
"Yato-kun, please inform your Captain Urahara that 4th Seat Kurotsuchi will return to duty within a week."
"Understood! Have a safe trip!" Yato hastily bowed, seeing this terrifying god of slaughter off.
Minazuki flew incredibly fast, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Kisuke Urahara leisurely stroll out.
"Wow, Yato-kun, thank goodness you’re here! The reconstruction work of our 12th Division is moving along much faster than expected..."
Yato Uchiha shot his Captain a flat glare and ignored him.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Kisuke Urahara didn’t get angry. Instead, he slung an arm around his subordinate’s shoulder with a cheeky grin:
"Yato, do you know the meaning behind why I did this?"
"Because you were bored and wanted to play around?"
"Hey, hey, hey, saying that really hurts my feelings..."
"Hmph."
"Listen to me. Actually, I..."
Kisuke Urahara put on a rare, serious expression. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly snapped his mouth shut.
Another person walked through the shattered gates of the 12th Division.
He had an aged appearance, slicked-back hair, and a mustache. A prominent chrysanthemum emblem was displayed clearly on his Shihakusho.
"Captain Urahara, 3rd Seat Uchiha." The newcomer spoke in an unhurried, exceedingly steady, and proper tone:
"I am the 3rd Seat of the 1st Division, Genshiro Okikiba."
"Lord Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, in his capacity as Captain-Commander, orders you both to report to the 1st Division immediately to explain the destruction caused here."
Kisuke Urahara’s smile froze on his face. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Yato Uchiha let out a long sigh, continuously pinching the bridge of his nose.
Looks like it’s time to face the Old Man’s wrath...
