Chapter 105 The Problematic Knife
"We all know that Zanpakuto has a soul. This soul is born when we write our own soul into the special sword like Asauchi through the engraving method. I don't know what the maker of the Tapir Sword was thinking, but this sword is obviously imitating the Zanpakuto."

"Except for the ambiguous release words, its various abilities are very similar to those of a Zanpakuto. If this sword is controllable, it would be fine, but after my research, I found that this sword is extremely dangerous."

"Xu is a monster that feeds on devouring. A knife made with Xu's power, even if it is only a part of its power, still has the devouring instinct. So if you want to activate the Tapir Knife, you must inject your own spiritual power into it. If the spiritual power is sufficient, there will be no problem. If the spiritual power is insufficient and the knife is always in a state of hunger, then it will start to - devour its master!"

Urahara Kisuke usually doesn't talk much, but when it comes to the areas he is familiar with, his chatterbox is suddenly opened, and he talks a lot, and speaks in great detail.

"So, this is a very dangerous knife, and there are huge problems?"

Natsuki actually knew a lot about the Tapir Sword, and he had no intention of listening to Urahara Kisuke explaining the differences between the Tapir Sword and the Zanpakutō. Compared to these, he only cared about the conclusion that Urahara Kisuke came to.

"Yes!"

Urahara Kisuke nodded.

"Once the Tapir Blade is awakened, it will require a huge amount of spiritual power to seal it again. If the user's spiritual power is over-consumed, they will no longer be able to seal it. On the contrary, after it fails to absorb enough spiritual power, it will turn around and devour the user's life and soul..."

Urahara Kisuke directly pointed out the side effects of the Tapir Sword.

"As expected of a sword made from Hollow, it really looks like Hollow!"

Xia Mu made a comment, and his mind was filled with the plot about the Tapir Sword in the animation.

Thoughts passed in a flash.

His eyes fell on Yoruichi, "So, what are you going to do about this?"

Although the Shihouin family does not command the Sixth Division that specializes in handling aristocratic affairs like the Kuchiki family, they also command the Second Division, which is responsible for covert mobility. The scope of responsibilities of the Second Division is very broad. They are more like spies, hiding in the light and in the dark, and specialize in carrying out various tasks such as clearing out rebellions and heretics.

At the same time, their existence also forms an extremely huge intelligence network.

All the Shinigami in the entire Soul Society will be monitored by them.

If a Grim Reaper is found to have high-risk tendencies, he will be captured and then imprisoned in a maggot nest and kept under guard.

Although it is true that the Kasumigaoji family is an upper-class noble family, the Tapir Sword, which is made of Hollow, itself violates some of the prohibitions of the Soul Society.

Many people think that using things like Hollows for experiments is their own original idea, but they don't know that these things are actually leftovers from the Soul Society. The history of the Soul Society is too long, and during this long period of time, the nobles have conducted countless experiments in order to gain powerful strength without any effort.

Such as the virtualization experiment, the immortal soul experiment, etc.

It was precisely because of the failure of the experiment and the painful lessons learned that after the Gotei 13 was established and civilian Shinigami officially came onto the stage and became an indispensable force in this world, in order to restrict civilian Shinigami, the Central 46th Chamber headed by the nobles issued many bans, and those failed experiments were listed as taboos.

Although Soul Society only prohibits the transformation into Hollows, and the power of simply studying Hollows is in an extremely ambiguous range, there are indeed some technologies obtained through the research on Hollows in the Seireitei Research Institute.

But all of these are based on the premise of safety and harmlessness.

According to Urahara Kisuke, the Tapir Sword is definitely not a harmless object.

If someone with insufficient spiritual power uses the Tapir Sword, he will suffer the backlash of the sword and endanger his own life.

Those with strong spiritual power are at least at the level of a chief officer. They have their own Zanpakutō and can release it. They don't need the Tapir Sword at all.

The captain-general would assign that task and want to promote the Tapir Sword on a large scale among the Gotei 13. Yoruichi could naturally guess the reason. It was nothing more than wanting to use the power of the Tapir Sword to enhance the power of ordinary Shinigami.

But the problem now is that this kind of knife is not an enhancement for ordinary reapers, but a burden, so serious that it can threaten their lives.

Yoruichi prepares to inform the captain-general about Urahara Kisuke's research.

The party is over.

Before Ye Yi could report the matter to the captain.

The captain immediately issued the order to the Central Office 46.

After being tried out by some members of the Gotei 13, it was found that the Tapir Sword is convenient, powerful, and can greatly enhance the power of the God of Death. Now, it has been decided to officially promote this item within the Gotei 13.

fast!
It's too fast.

No one expected that after a short trial period, with only the 8th and 13th squads providing some trial experience and when there were still insufficient samples, the Central 46th Office directly approved the approval of this type of weapon.

You know, the efficiency of Central Office 46 was not that high in the past. This time it was incredibly fast.

"What is the reason why the Central 46th Office is so efficient?"

Ye Yi guessed that there might be a person behind this. The Kasumigaoji family?
As one of the upper nobles, the Kasumigaoji family is quite influential among the upper nobles because they specialize in weapons manufacturing. Of course, they have a place in the Central Forty-six Rooms, a group selected from nobles.

It seems reasonable if the Kasumigaoji family persuaded the other families who were also members of the Central 46th Room for their own interests.

But even so, Ye Yi is still prepared to stop the promotion of the Mo Yao Sword.

It would be fine if this matter had not been discovered, but now that it has been discovered, we naturally cannot stand idly by.

She did not use the power of the Shifengyuan family to directly interfere with the decision of the Central Forty-Sixth Office, although she could do so if she wanted to.

After all, the "Golden Seal Noble Council" within the five major nobles is superior to the Central Forty-Six Chambers, but few people know about it.

But unlike the reckless Tsunayashiro, the Shihouin family has already integrated into this world, and usually does not want to use their status as a noble to break the rules, so Yoruichi still obediently went to the First Team.

First report your discovery to the captain-general, and then the captain-general will pass the relevant situation to the Central 46th Room to ban the Tapir Knife.

Came to the captain's room of the first team.

Coincidentally, at the door, Ye Yi met another person.

"Captain Shifengyuan!"

The man with long silver-white hair greeted Yoruichi gently.

"Captain Ukitake, how come you have time to come here?" Yoruichi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Ukitake Jushiro.

Ukitake Jushiro said solemnly, "There are some things that I need to report to the captain."

"Captain Shifengyuan, what about you?"

Ye Yi also said in a deep voice: "I also have something to ask the captain."

"Then let's go together!" Ukitake Jushiro invited Yoruichi.

Two people walked into the captain's office together.

There was a table in the extremely spacious office. The captain was sitting behind the table with a brush in his hand, handling team affairs. When he saw the two people coming, he put down the brush.

"What brings you two here?"

Yoruichi glanced at Ukitake Jushiro beside him, and without caring about the question of who came first, he spoke directly, getting straight to the point, "The Tapir Blade has a problem, and it cannot be promoted among the Gotei 13."

Captain Yamamoto raised his eyebrows slightly.

Before this, he had just conveyed the order from the Central 46th Room to promote the Tapir Sword on a large scale. However, not long after, the captain of the Second Division, Yoruichi, came up with a different tune, saying that there was something wrong with the Tapir Sword. If you really discovered something, couldn't you have said it earlier?
Now they ask me to tell the 46th Central Office that there is a problem with the Tapir Knife. Isn't this a slap in the face of the 46th Central Office?

Because not long ago, he handed over the report after the trial use of the Eighth Division and the Thirteenth Division to them, and concluded that the Tapir Sword had no flaws and was a very practical sword.

Without directly asking Yoruichi what the problem was, Captain Yamamoto looked at Ukitake Jushiro again and asked him, "Ukitake, can you tell me about your story?"

Ukitake Jushiro nodded and said, "My story is also related to the Tapir Blade."

"That day, after letting the team members try out the Tapir Sword, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the sword at first. But in a recent battle, a chief officer of my squad was killed. When he died, besides his Zanpakutō, only the Tapir Sword was left, and his body disappeared."

"Swallowed by the Hollow?" asked Captain Yamamoto.

Ukitake Jushiro said in a deep voice: "It looks very similar, but I always feel that it is not that simple. This matter seems to be related to the Tapir Blade. The Tapir Blade hides problems that we have not yet discovered."

If it was Kyoraku Shunsui who came to him and said this, Captain Yamamoto would not have taken it too seriously. After all, Kyoraku Shunsui had been lazy and boastful for a long time. But since the usually steady Ukitake said this, Captain Yamamoto had to take the matter seriously.

"So, you don't see the problem?"

What Ukitake Jushiro said was just speculation and there was no actual evidence.

Ukitake Jushiro shook his head.

Ye Yi said at the side: "I think I know why."

Then, she told Captain Yamamoto and Ukitake Jushiro about the many problems that Urahara Kisuke had discovered about the Tapir Sword.

Of course, during this process, she did not mention Urahara Kisuke's name, but only said that she was very interested in the Tapir Sword, so she asked someone to do some research on its principles.
