Chapter 113: Chapter 110: Predicament
"It won't work; I can't manifest it."
Yamahiko sat cross-legged on the ground with his Zanpakutō resting on his knees, looking somewhat troubled.
He was unable to materialize his Zanpakutō, thus unable to make it submit and master his Bankai.
Shikai and Bankai are different; Shikai requires communication and synchronization, where one communicates with the Zanpakutō, synchronizes with it, learns its name, and then activates Shikai.
However, Bankai involves materialization and submission; the Zanpakutō must be materialized and then submit to the wielder.
Of course, there are many ways to achieve submission; it doesn't have to be through defeating the Zanpakutō spirit but can also be through gaining recognition with one's own strength. However, in any case, materialization of the Zanpakutō is necessary.
Yamahiko made many attempts but was unable to achieve this.
"Are you sure you don't want to use Tenshintai?"

On Yamahiko's side, Yoruichi Shihouin stood there, holding a humanoid doll, and said, "Using Tenshintai can help you quickly master Bankai."
Yamahiko smiled bitterly and said, "But I could very well end up dead."
He was well aware of what the device Tenshintai was. It was one of the Stealth Squad's most important specialized spirit tools, capable of forcibly materializing the true form of a Zanpakuto.
Ichigo Kurosaki used this method to materialize Zangetsu, by defeating Zangetsu, thus mastering Bankai.
Of course, the Zangetsu that appeared wasn't actually Zangetsu but the power of a Quincy. Why this was possible is unclear.
The manifestation from the device is very powerful. If he can't make it submit, it will kill him.
Unlike Ichigo Kurosaki, Yamahiko have not experienced the manifestation phenomenon, so that his Zanpakuto can recognize him.
Even for Renji Abarai, the first time he mastered Bankai, it was incomplete, but it was still after his Zanpakuto materialized.
'If I can't even achieve materialization myself, it proves that my strength isn't enough to even have the possibility of defeating my Zanpakuto,' thought Yamahiko.
Also if he forcibly materializing his Zanpakuto using the device, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"Don't worry," Yoruichi Shihōin said, patting Yamahiko's shoulder. "Let's go soak in the hot spring."
Yamahiko stood up. "Is it ready to use already?"
A few days ago, while sparring, they accidentally broke the ground and discovered an underground spring. They had quickly built a hot spring, and it seemed it was now available for use.
Yoruichi nodded. "Yes, the hot spring is ready, and the usage schedule has been set. You can use it today."
"Can I?"
Excitedly, Yamahiko ran back to his room, grabbed a towel, and went to a corner of the underground training ground. It was surrounded by walls, and Yamahiko rushed in through a side door. Inside, mist swirled around. He took off his clothes and jumped in, making a splash.
"It's so hot."

Yamahiko soaked in the hot spring, feeling the warmth all around. The temperature of the spring water was around 43 degrees Celsius(109.4 fahrenheit[F]), quite high already.
Yamahiko soaked in the hot spring. After a while, the door opened, and a voice entered, saying, "I'll take a bath too."
"Yoruichi-senpai, you... want to take a bath?" Yamahiko looked at Yoruichi, asking in shock.
Yoruichi nodded and said, "Of course, after training with you for so long, I definitely need to take a bath."
Saying this, Yoruichi took off her clothes. Seeing her do this, Yamahiko quickly turned his head away.

Splash!
Yoruichi jumped into the hot spring and smiled, saying, "What's wrong, kid? Just taking a dip in the hot spring."
Yamahiko, with his head held high, said, "B-but you're a woman."
Yoruichi laughed and replied, "So what? Don't forget, you're not an adult yet."
As of today, Yamahiko is only fifty-eight years old, and there are still two years before the original story begins.
In Soul Society, one is considered an adult only at the age of one hundred.
Blushing, Yamahiko didn't dare to look at Yoruichi, but at that moment, several voices were heard outside the house, "It's finally built. Let's take a bath today?"
"Of course, it's our turn. How can those men go first?"
As the voices sounded, two figures appeared at the door, it was Lisa Yadōmaru and Mashiro Kuna.
Upon seeing them, Yamahiko shouted, "Don't undress!"
"How come you're here, Yamahiko?" came Lisa's voice.
"Yes, today is the girls' scheduled time for using it. Why are you here?" Kuna Mashiro leaned closer, staring intently at Yamahiko.
"The girls' scheduled time? Yoruichi senpai said I could use it today," Yamahiko looked at Yoruichi, his expression somewhat puzzled.
Yoruichi smiled and said, "I think Yamahiko is still a kid, so I told him he could use it today. You don't mind, do you?"
Lisa nodded and said, "Yamahiko is indeed still underage, so let him bathe with us."
"Right, right."
Mashiro Kuna had already taken off her clothes and jumped into the hot spring pool with a splash, creating a burst of water. She submerged herself in the water, her body visible through the clear water.
Lisa also began to undress, while Yamahiko kept his head down, too embarrassed to look, his face turning red.
Plop.
Lisa jumped into the water next to Yamahiko, settling down to his right.
"You can look up, you won't see anything," came the voice of Yoruichi.
Upon hearing this, Yamahiko slowly lifted his head. Yoruichi, Lisa, and Kuna Mashiro were soaking in the water, with everything below their chests submerged.
However, The spring water was very clear; one could even see pebbles at the bottom, looking down from the edge of the hot spring, the water displayed various colors.
However, as long as someone was in it, their body was fully visible.
There were brown, erotic full breasts, white, and shapely breasts, long legs, and thick thighs.

puff!
Yamahiko's nose suddenly felt hot, and blood started to trickle out.
"Hahaha, he's actually getting a nosebleed. What a kid!" Yoruichi burst into laughter.
Yamahiko quickly used a Kaidō spell to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding had stopped, he blushed and looked down, too embarrassed to speak.
Lisa chuckled, saying, "Yoruichi, stop teasing Yamahiko."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease him anymore."
Yoruichi contained her laughter, stretched lazily, and leaned against the rock wall, letting out a contented purr, much like a cat.
Kuna Mashiro swam around in the pool, resembling a mermaid.
Lisa sat next to Yamahiko, watching the now calm Yamahiko, and asked, "Yamahiko, you seem very restless lately. You look like you're in a hurry."
Yamahiko suddenly looked up at Lisa and asked with a wry smile, "Is it that obvious?"
Yoruichi nodded and said, "You're eager to master Bankai. You've been focusing on it almost every day."
Mashiro Kuna stopped swimming and popped her head out of the water, saying, "Mashiro noticed it too."
"Not achieving Bankai means I can't defeat Aizen."
Yamahiko said softly. He could fight Aizen now, but only to resist him, not to defeat him.
Yoruichi Shihōin smiled and said, "But being anxious won't help. You still have plenty of time; there's no need to rush."
"You're right."
Yamahiko nodded, but he felt a sense of urgency in his heart. It wasn't that he had plenty of time; he only had two years left.
I have only two years left; the plot will officially begin then. In any case, I must return to the Soul Society.
If by then I still haven't achieved Bankai, then I'll use the Tenshintai.
Regardless of the danger, I must use it.
