Yylfordt Granz could only be temporarily arranged near the border of the Land of Whirlpools.

He tried his best to avoid encountering the Shinigami.

After sending away all the recruited Troop Types, Uzumaki Chihiro began the main event of the day.

"System, consume all prestige value and recruit a Heroic Troop Type!"

As soon as he spoke, the prestige value on the System panel instantly emptied.

The Senkaimon, glowing with golden light, reappeared.

A tall, burly figure resembling a werewolf emerged.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully recruited the Heroic Troop Type, Komamura Sajin!"

"Seventh Division Captain, Komamura Sajin, greets Lord Soul King!"

"Komamura Sajin"

"Strength: Captain-class"

"Position: Captain of the Seventh Division"

"Ability: Zanpakuto, Tenken"

Good heavens, what a height!

Uzumaki Chihiro secretly clicked his tongue.

Recruiting Komamura Sajin with over two hundred thousand prestige value wasn't bad at all.

Uzumaki Chihiro recalled his abilities, which were somewhat similar to the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan.

Thinking of this, he was quite looking forward to the clash between Komamura Sajin and Susanoo.

With Komamura Sajin recruited, this round of troop recruitment was over.

Uzumaki Chihiro checked the System again.

A new mission quietly emerged.

"Main Mission Stage Three: Accumulate one million prestige value, acquire three Heroic Troop Types, reward 'Shino Academy'."

Shino Academy!

Uzumaki Chihiro's eyes lit up when he saw the reward.

He had been looking forward to the Shino Academy for a long time.

After all, it was a building that could cultivation its own Troop Types.

Not only could it save a lot of prestige value needed to recruit ordinary units and Advanced Troop Types.

It might even be able to cultivation several Captain-class individuals!

There were many Geniuses in the Shinobi World; once they became Shinigami, they might bring him considerable surprises.

Moreover, after unlocking the Shino Academy, he would finally be able to have his own Zanpakuto.

Due to the strength feedback from his Troop Types, his spiritual pressure had already reached Captain-class.

His Zankensoki had also all reached mastery.

The only thing he lacked was a Zanpakuto in hand.

Now, he finally saw hope.

This mission was not too difficult for him.

The condition of three Heroic Troop Types had already been met.

More than half of the prestige value had also been accumulated, so as long as he stirred up some trouble, it would soon be completed... In the Land of Water, Hidden Mist Village.

After several days of discussion, the Third Mizukage finally made a decision, adopting Clan Chief Mei's diplomatic approach.

Since no one else had better suggestions, they could only agree.

However, who would serve as this diplomatic envoy caused the Clan Head Terumi some distress.

No one in the entire high command was willing to accept this mission.

There was no other way; the Land of Whirlpools was now a dragon's den, and who knew if one would return alive after going there.

Although all major Ninja villages had an unwritten rule of not executing envoys, who knew if the Land of Whirlpools would adhere to such martial ethics?

So, no one wanted to take this risk.

In the end, Biwa Jūzō, who had previously escaped from the Land of Whirlpools, took on this mission.

Well, he was forced to.

It was euphemistically called atoning for his sins.

Biwa Jūzō: "..."

Although he desperately wanted to refuse, he knew he had no right to.

In the last mission, he was the Captain, but almost all of the Mist ninja he led were wiped out, four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were lost, and even among the Ninja Blades, only Samehada returned.

Now, he was a criminal in the Hidden Mist Village; the Ninja who knew he had failed the mission and fled back looked at him with disdain.

He had no choice but to accept this mission.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive in the Hidden Mist Village.

After making some preparations, Biwa Jūzō departed from the Hidden Mist Village and headed for the Land of Whirlpools.

Last time, he went with troops, but this time, he was alone.

...In the Land of Whirlpools, Seireitei.

13th Division Headquarters, courtyard.

Rukia Kuchiki bowed her head and said, "Lord Soul King, that Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village has returned, but this time he is alone."

"Oh?"

Uzumaki Chihiro continued to cultivation his Zanjutsu and asked, "Alone? What for?"

"It seems he wishes to discuss the redemption of the Ninja Blades and requests an audience with Lord Soul King."

Uzumaki Chihiro chuckled softly and said, "Last time, he started a fight at the slightest disagreement, but this time he's much more polite."

He thought for a moment and said, "Bring him in."

Now that the Land of Whirlpools had developed, he no longer worried about potential troubles if his Uzumaki Clan identity was exposed.

Moreover, he would have to make an appearance sooner or later.

As for the Ninja Blades?

There's no redeeming them.

He had already sold them to the System, so how could they be redeemed?

Furthermore, he hadn't yet settled the score with the Hidden Mist Village for destroying the Land of Whirlpools.

These six Ninja Blades were, at most, just interest.

After receiving Lord Soul King's permission, Rukia Kuchiki went to the Land of Whirlpools coast, looked at Biwa Jūzō, and said coldly, "Come, follow me to meet Lord Soul King."

Biwa Jūzō took a deep breath and, with a heavy heart, stepped onto the territory of the Land of Whirlpools.

On the way to Seireitei, passing through Rukongai, Biwa Jūzō looked astonished.

He thought to himself.

Hadn't the buildings of this Land of Whirlpools been destroyed by war before?

How did such a large complex of buildings suddenly appear?

And it seemed there were quite a few residents?

Huh? Is that!

As if seeing a ghost, Biwa Jūzō's eyes instantly widened!

A very familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Green hair, sharp teeth.

Who else could it be but Raiga Kurosuki?

But wasn't Raiga Kurosuki already dead?

Why would he appear in the Land of Whirlpools?

Did Raiga Kurosuki survive?

But if he survived, why didn't he return to the Hidden Mist Village??

Biwa Jūzō couldn't help but exclaim, "Raiga?"
