Smiling, Yusuke Uchiha reassured Byakuya and Hisana Kuchiki that the sealing technique would harm Hisana in no way.

Knowing the plot, he was aware Byakuya Kuchiki would soon find Rukia Kuchiki in Rukongai, but unlike in the original story, Hisana wouldn’t have to wait.

Thanks to Yusuke Uchiha’s reassurance, the couple calmed down considerably. He prepared to use the jutsu he’d developed.

This new jutsu, utilizing a novel system, was named ”Shindō,” distinct from Kidō.

Shindō comprised only three techniques at this point, but they were incredibly powerful, requiring at least captain-level spiritual pressure to use.

In the Shinigami world, the names of techniques and spells were incredibly important, imbued with the power of rules.

Once a name was established, the incantation had to use the precise name; otherwise, the technique wouldn’t work.

In the original story, during Hyōsube Ichibē’s battle with Yhwach, Yhwach’s inability to pronounce technique names due to a sealed throat rendered him completely powerless.

Clearly, in the Shinigami world, power is literally shouted into existence!

Looking down at Hisana Kuchiki, lying in bed with her eyes closed, Yusuke Uchiha extended his right hand and chanted, ”Shindō #3, Reikan.”

As spiritual pressure erupted from Yusuke Uchiha’s hand, Hisana Kuchiki’s body slowly levitated. A translucent, light-grey spiritual coffin base materialized beneath her, gently lowering her inside.

Once Hisana Kuchiki was inside, the coffin lid appeared, sealing her within. Four spiritual chains emerged from the void, locking the coffin; a spiritual talisman inscribed with the character ”Seal” was affixed to their intersection.

With the seal complete, the coffin completely isolated Hisana Kuchiki’s life force and spiritual pressure, freezing her in this moment.

”The name might be inauspicious, but rest assured, Hisana will be perfectly safe,” Yusuke Uchiha said with a smile.

Byakuya Kuchiki nodded gratefully. ”Captain, I have complete faith in your jutsu. However, this ’Shindō’... I’ve never heard of it in Soul Society.”

Yusuke Uchiha chuckled. ”It’s a jutsu of my own creation, used only by me. Naturally, you haven’t encountered it.”

Byakuya Kuchiki nodded in admiration. As a Kidō prodigy, he understood the difficulty of creating new spells; he’d attempted it himself.

However, after finding his creations inferior to existing Kidō, he’d abandoned the effort. He focused on Kidō application rather than development.

Looking at Byakuya Kuchiki, Yusuke Uchiha’s eyes lit up. ”You’ve achieved Bankai?”

Byakuya Kuchiki confirmed, ”Indeed, I only recently achieved Bankai. I didn’t expect it to be so obvious to you, Captain.”

Yusuke Uchiha smiled. ”It’s a shame; all captain positions are filled. Otherwise, you could be wearing a captain’s haori now.”

Approximately thirty years prior, Jūshirō Ukitake had achieved Bankai, securing the last remaining captain position.

Byakuya Kuchiki shook his head, his expression earnest. ”Becoming captain isn’t important to me; it’s merely a title expected of a Kuchiki heir. If possible, I’d prefer to remain under your command. Your guidance has been invaluable these past years.”

Yusuke Uchiha patted Byakuya Kuchiki’s shoulder. ”When the opportunity arises, I’ll arrange a transfer to another division. The 6th Division has always been under your family’s control; you’re the most suitable captain.”

After a brief conversation, Yusuke Uchiha left the Kuchiki estate.

On his way, he stopped at ”Urahara Shop,” a popular confectionery shop in the Seireitei, purchasing a box of exquisite sweets.

Byakuya Kuchiki, meanwhile, immediately instructed his subordinates to expand their search for Rukia Kuchiki. The sooner he found his sister-in-law, the sooner he could be reunited with his wife.

Having resolved Hisana Kuchiki’s situation, Yusuke Uchiha returned to the 6th Division barracks. It was late; the barracks were almost deserted.

In his office, a girl of fourteen or fifteen, dressed in a Shinigami uniform, was reading, waiting for him.

She was pretty, with short, pale pink hair and round glasses—Nagato Yū, one of the orphans he’d trained in Hueco Mundo.

Even upon his arrival, her expression remained impassive, her stoicism rivaling Byakuya Kuchiki’s.

Despite her young age, Nagato Yū was the 4th Seat, possessing exceptional spiritual pressure and combat ability. Above her were only Captain Yusuke Uchiha, Lieutenant Byakuya Kuchiki, and 3rd Seat Kōga Kuchiki.

Beyond her exceptional talent, Nagato Yū possessed a unique Zanpakutō ability.

Her Zanpakutō, ”Jōrei-maru,” nullified all anomalous effects.

Upon contact with her Zanpakutō, any anomalous effect would be dispelled.

The definition of ”anomalous” was still being researched by Yusuke Uchiha and Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Experiments showed that Nagato Yū was unaffected by Yusuke Uchiha’s genjutsu, Bakudō seals, or Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s poisons.

This ability impressed Mayuri Kurotsuchi and was highly valued by Yusuke Uchiha. While spiritual pressure was fundamental to combat, some abilities could bypass it entirely.

For Yusuke Uchiha, Jōrei-maru would mitigate many risks.

Seeing Yusuke Uchiha, the girl silently tilted her head, gesturing towards a stack of documents—her work was complete.

These were documents Yusuke Uchiha, as captain, needed to process. Since recruiting Nagato Yū, he’d delegated most of this work to her. While it freed his time, it placed a considerable burden on Nagato Yū.

”Yū, you’ve worked hard,” Yusuke Uchiha said, ruffling her hair.

Nagato Yū replied impassively, ”Yū is merely an orphaned soul adopted by you, Lord Uchiha. Even if you broke your promise to train with me, withheld my leave, and burdened me with all the work, Yū wouldn’t complain.”
