Chapter 67: The Soul Reaper Version of Transcription Seal
Inside the Kamui dimension, Yato Uchiha picked up a glass tube and flicked it twice with his finger. The eyeball inside rolled around with a glub-glub sound, releasing a string of bubbles.
"That guy, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, really knows his stuff."
Yato nodded in satisfaction.
This solution was something Mayuri had developed. In his own words, it was a "breathing soul tissue" fluid. Organs placed inside it could remain fresh for a century—an absolute godsend for researchers.
As the 3rd Seat of the 12th Division and the head of the SRDI’s Capture Department, getting his hands on some of this special solution and a few precision instruments was a total breeze.
"Let’s continue yesterday’s work... Akame."
With a soft poof, the young girl wearing crimson Sengoku-era armor appeared beside him.
"Keep me company and chat for a bit? Just sitting here by myself makes me look like an idiot."
Yato chuckled lightly and sat cross-legged. He held a glass tube in both hands, his spine slightly curved, as his Spiritual Pressure resonated at a highly specific frequency.
If any Gotei 13 Seated Officer were standing next to him right now, they would be shocked to discover that Yato Uchiha’s posture was completely identical to Jinzen!
In fact, Yato was using the deep soul meditation of Jinzen to slowly seep the pure essence of his Spiritual Pressure into the eyeball inside the glass tube.
"Sometimes, I really think you’re a genius," Akame sighed in admiration, staring at the eyeball floating in the solution. "How did you even come up with this method?"
"I was forced into it. This is the world of Soul Reapers, after all. Aside from me, there isn’t a second Uchiha, which naturally means there isn’t a second pair of Sharingan. I had to find a different path."
"But doing this drains a ton of Spiritual Pressure, you know. And the success rate isn’t exactly high, either."
"That doesn’t matter... I’ve already got one foot on the threshold of Class 4 Rei-i." Feeling the connection between himself and the eyeball in his hands growing ever closer, Yato sighed. "I just hope this Soul Reaper version of the Transcription Seal can completely replicate the power of my visual jutsu. At the very least, it needs to retain half of its original might."
—Transcription Seal!
For the past half month, Yato Uchiha had been secretly killing gang members and bandits in the Rukongai, sending their corpses into his Kamui dimension. Using the medical knowledge he had learned from Unohana, he extracted the eyes from the bodies, all for the singular purpose of casting the Transcription Seal!
Of course, the Bleach world didn’t have chakra, which naturally meant it didn’t have ninjutsu.
So, Yato had made some necessary modifications.
The foundation of these modifications was Yato’s entirely unique Uchiha power.
This power manifested in his physical appearance, giving him black hair, dark eyes, and a tall, handsome build. It expressed itself in his innate talent, making his Fire-type Kido overwhelmingly powerful—under conditions of equal Spiritual Pressure, his firepower even surpassed Sosuke Aizen’s!
Most importantly, this power was deeply rooted in his very soul and Spiritual Pressure, forming certain distinct traits. Yato discovered that through prolonged contact, he could seep the essence of his soul and Spiritual Pressure into the eyeballs of living beings.
Consequently, the visual jutsu of his Sharingan could be projected and stored within those external eyes!
This ability was remarkably similar to the "Transcription Seal" from the Naruto world.
However, the ninjas of the Uchiha Clan generally could only seal their visual jutsu into another Sharingan. For example, Itachi Uchiha had sealed Amaterasu into Sasuke’s three-tomoe Sharingan, programming it to release only when it encountered Obito.
In contrast, this Soul Reaper version of the Transcription Seal could be cast onto non-Sharingan eyes, provided Yato spent enough time saturating them with his Spiritual Pressure.
He had only accidentally realized this ability when he achieved his Stage Three Shikai, gaining a much deeper understanding of his own soul’s true essence.
Unique souls and Spiritual Pressures weren’t incredibly rare in the Seireitei. In the 4th Division, for example, there were squad members whose Spiritual Pressure possessed innate healing properties. By channeling it into a patient’s body, they could accelerate the soul’s recovery rate.
But Yato understood that this "external eye" ability of his was fundamentally different at its very core.
It even seemed a bit similar to... Yhwach.
The Quincy King possessed the innate instinct to "distribute his soul." Even as an infant, he could carve off pieces of his own soul and use them to fill the voids in the souls of anyone who touched him, curing them of any physical or psychological defects.
After those who received his fragments died, the pieces of Yhwach’s soul would return to his body, restoring him piece by piece. Gradually, he gained the ability to see, hear, cry, breathe... and ultimately, reclaim his full power as the son of the Soul King!
In a certain sense, Yato Uchiha also possessed the ability to "bestow power."
However, he could only project his power into eyeballs, and it didn’t feed back into him upon the recipient’s death. It was a far cry from Yhwach’s terrifying capabilities.
—Honestly, the cheats possessed by the Soul King and his son were just too utterly broken.
Of course, unlike Yhwach, who was born with innate mastery, Yato had to rely on constant trial, error, and intense training to grasp this ability.
The Kamui dimension was undoubtedly the most perfect secret laboratory. Every night for the past half month, he had come here to conduct a massive number of experiments. He was getting remarkably proficient at killing and hiding corpses, which, entirely by accident, had greatly relieved the 10th Division’s public security headaches.
Tonight was no exception.
"You’re so slow. How much longer is this going to take?" Inside the Kamui dimension, Akame had grown a bit tired of talking. She pouted, "I want to go back."
"Tsk, come on, don’t be like that. Besides, what’s so fun about the inner world? Being all alone in there has got to be uncomfortable."
"Are you an idiot?" Akame flipped Yato the middle finger. "I’m a Zanpakuto! Do you think a hermit crab hates its own shell?"
"Uh, I think I get what you mean, but why use that as an example? In this situation, most people would use a more common example, like a turtle or a crab..."
"Bastard! Your whole Uchiha family are turtles! Your entire clan are crabs!"
"Hah, take a look in the mirror, Akame. You look like a textbook Uchiha yourself..."
Yato grinned, teasing his Zanpakuto. Just as he was about to push her buttons until she stomped her feet in anger, his eyebrow suddenly twitched.
An unusual Spiritual Pressure fluctuation pulsed out from the glass tube in his hands.
"It’s done!" The youth chuckled, breaking his Jinzen posture.
Forgetting to be angry, Akame leaned in curiously, resting her chin on Yato’s shoulder.
Releasing his Zanpakuto, Yato cycled his Spiritual Pressure in his three-tomoe state. He felt the familiar power flowing through his eyes. Then, guided by some strange, intrinsic law, a stream of this power separated from him and projected directly into the eyeball floating in the solution.
The glass tube began to vibrate continuously, and the solution started to boil. This wasn’t caused by heat—it was the result of the dramatic changes happening to the eyeball itself!
The iris of the eye suspended in the fluid slowly began to change color, shifting from pure black to crimson.
Three black tomoe materialized within the crimson iris.
Even imprisoned within glass and submerged in fluid, this Sharingan was seductively bewitching. It carried an eerie, demonic vitality, as if the abyss itself was staring back at them.
Yato Uchiha stared at the eye for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter.
Not counting looking in a mirror, this was the first time he had ever been glared at by a Sharingan.
"It really is quite creepy."
