82 Fury, Turning Against Each Other  

Especially regarding Kidō, Ailin's mastery all came from masters two hundred years in the future. Even Kisuke Urahara's current Kidō seemed a bit immature before Ailin.

At first, Ailin only gave Kisuke Urahara a hand, checking for omissions and filling in gaps. But near the end, seeing that the three days agreed with Ginrei Kuchiki was nearing its end, Ailin directly kicked Kisuke Urahara aside and set up the barrier himself, completing the construction of the Tenkai.

"It's finally done." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ailin lightly exhaled a breath. Then, he input spiritual pressure into the barrier within the Tenkai.

Buzz...

In an instant, the clearly visible soil and gravel in the underground base's sky illuminated by the sun orbs instantly turned into blue skies and white clouds.

Even with a little wind in the underground base, the white clouds in the sky would slowly drift along with it.

"Amazing!"

Even Kisuke Urahara had to admit that compared to his proud Kidō skills, they were still lacking before Ailin.

How on earth did this guy cultivate to this level? In Kisuke Urahara's heart, his evaluation of Ailin's abilities rose another level.

The four Shinigami combat skills - Hakuda, Zanjutsu, Hohō, Kidō. Practicing Kidō was unlike the other three.

Whether Hakuda, swordsmanship, or Shunpo, the training venue requirements were not high. An open space was sufficient for self-training.

But Kidō was different. Especially high-level Kidō caused immense damage when used. Using it once would cause massive damage to the surroundings.

To train a Kidō spell to the point of dispelling its incantation, it had to be practiced over a thousand times to familiarize oneself with its spiritual particle construction.

Being able to construct such a precise and vast Kidō barrier, Kisuke Urahara estimated that even if Ailin dispelled the incantations of Kidō #90 and above, they would still retain at least one-third of their might.

Even in the Spiritual Arts Academy, students only practiced low-level Kidō below #30. Occasionally, a few slightly higher numbered Kidō would require teacher supervision before use.

Otherwise, with the massive Spiritual Arts Academy, it would have long been destroyed by students practicing Kidō.

Kisuke Urahara's accomplishments in Kidō were also thanks to his Zanpakutō, Benihime.

Kisuke Urahara's Bankai, "Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame," could reconstruct anything it touched.

This spacious underground base was reconstructed by Kisuke Urahara's Bankai, with unmatched concealment and utility.

Practicing Kidō here, no matter the damage caused, Kisuke Urahara could completely restore the damaged environment.

After being threatened by Ailin, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi had gathered quite a bit of intelligence on Ailin.

Kisuke Urahara believed Ailin's true Bankai was likely an extremely powerful auxiliary cultivation ability.

Just looking at Byakuya's performance these past two days, his Hakuda, Zanjutsu, Hohō, and Kidō were not inferior to some captain-level experts at all. Yet Byakuya had only received three months of guidance from Ailin.

Ailin, who could activate his Bankai anytime, his true strength would be even more shocking.

Anyway, no matter how confident Kisuke Urahara was in himself, he didn't think he had much chance of winning against Ailin. The unknown was always frightening.

Based on existing information, the Zanpakutō Ailin had used included Tessaiga which could swing wind slashes, Bakusaiga which controlled lightning and thunder, Heaven Piercing Sword which shone brilliantly when killing Koga, and Omnipotent Five Sights which was used to inspect Haruko's Gigai...

It seemed that no matter the situation, Captain Ailin could take out a Zanpakutō to break through it.

It was also because of this unknown that Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi chose to help Ailin to gain his favor.

Now it seemed that because of this favor, the distrust between them seemed less than before, and everyone was getting along quite well?

"Tired to death..."

Stretching lazily, Ailin moved all the joints in his body: "Urahara, hurry and inspect it. If there are no issues, I'll be taking Byakuya away."

"Mm, no problems. Or rather, as expected of Captain Ailin. I cannot compare."

"Then we'll not disturb you further. It's quite late, if the old master suddenly changes his mind, my guilt would be great."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

***

"Father-in-law, we're back."

Rushing for time, Ailin directly carried Byakuya to the Kuchiki residence.

After entering Ginrei Kuchiki's bedroom, Ailin tossed Byakuya down and said to the old master leaning against the headboard: "Inspect it, father-in-law. Byakuya has completed his Bankai training, he now has the qualifications to take on the Kuchiki family's responsibilities, right?"

"What?" Hearing Ailin's words, Ginrei Kuchiki immediately looked towards Byakuya: "Byakuya, is what your uncle said true?"

Byakuya had just climbed up from the floor and tidied his clothes. Seeing his grandfather looking at him, Byakuya Kuchiki instantly adjusted his demeanor, kneeling before Ginrei Kuchiki.

All these years, Byakuya had been nurtured by Ginrei Kuchiki as the Kuchiki family successor. If nothing else, he grasped the etiquette of nobles tightly.

"It's true, grandfather. With uncle Ailin's help, I've completed my Zanpakutō's Bankai training."

"Good, good, good..." Receiving Byakuya's confirmation, Ginrei Kuchiki was instantly elated. He was nearing the end of his life. What he was most reluctant to part with was the Kuchiki family's mission, and his only grandson, Byakuya Kuchiki. But by heaven's grace, he had found a good son-in-law for the Kuchiki family. 

Now that Byakuya had completed his Zanpakutō's Bankai training, it meant Byakuya had the qualifications to be the Kuchiki family head and 6th Division captain.

At this moment, even if Ginrei Kuchiki died immediately, he would have no regrets. However, Ginrei had only just become happy when he suddenly recalled something.

"Not good..."

"What's wrong? Father-in-law, Byakuya has completed his Bankai training, what could be not good about this?"

Seeing Ginrei's drastic change in expression, Ailin hurriedly sat by the bedside to comfort him, but his hand was instantly grabbed by Ginrei Kuchiki.

"Ailin, I've wronged you..."

"Father-in-law, what are you saying? You've never done anything excessive to me, why say you've wronged me? Don't overthink this. Look, Byakuya has grown up, Haruko is also under my care. You can rest at ease."

"No..."

Ginrei Kuchiki tightly squeezed Ailin's hand, staring at Ailin with bulging eyes: "Ailin, I need you to promise me, the one who hurt you, wronged you, is me, Ginrei Kuchiki, not the Kuchiki family."

"Father-in-law, just what are you talking about?"

At this time, not just Ailin, even Byakuya Kuchiki could tell something was off with his grandfather.

"That's right, grandfather. What have you done that you have to say this to uncle Ailin?"

"That's right, father-in-law. What have you done? Please tell me directly."

At this moment, Ailin's expression had already darkened, "As for who hurt me, whether it's you father-in-law or the Kuchiki family, I'll judge for myself."

"Sigh..."

Not getting a response from Ailin, a flash of disappointment appeared in Ginrei Kuchiki's eyes. At the same time, he regretted not trusting Ailin and Byakuya more, leading him to make such a huge mistake.

What was he thinking?

Just because Ailin said "As long as Haruko remains in the human world, it's impossible for me to return to Soul Society," he actually thought of forcing his daughter to commit suicide in order to keep Ailin in the Kuchiki family?

From Ailin's actions these past years, Ginrei Kuchiki knew Ailin truly loved Haruko. If he blamed Haruko's death on the Kuchiki family, Ginrei Kuchiki could only hope Ailin would look at Byakuya's status and not annihilate the Kuchiki family.

Otherwise...

"I'm sorry, Ailin. Previously, I was muddle-headed and sent someone to bring Haruko a message..."

Boom!

"Ginrei Kuchiki, damn you!"

After many years, Ailin's vast spiritual pressure erupted within the Seireitei once more. Accompanying it was his voice filled with hatred and killing intent.

This left those in Seireitei familiar with the Kuchiki family and Ailin confused about what exactly happened with the Kuchiki family.

Glancing at Byakuya blocking his path to Ginrei Kuchiki, Ailin restrained his killing intent slightly.

"Hmph!"

Ailin raised his hand and pulled off the two hairpins in his hair, instantly tearing them off. Next, he violently ripped off the red windflower light veil around his neck and tossed them before Ginrei Kuchiki.

"Ginrei Kuchiki, my relationship with the Kuchiki family only existed because Haruko was the Kuchiki family's young miss. I also treated the Kuchiki family as my own family. But from now on, Haruko is just my wife, no longer some Kuchiki family's young miss.

In the future, we will have no ties with the Kuchiki family whatsoever. You'd better pray Haruko is fine. Otherwise, it will be a battle to the death between us!"

After speaking, Ailin directly drew Byakuya's Zanpakutō from his waist and channeled spiritual pressure into the hilt, stabbing towards the space before him.

Instantly, ripples appeared in space before him, and the wooden doors opened. This was the interdimensional gateway controlled by the Kuchiki family. The key was the hilt of the Kuchiki family head's Zanpakutō.

After Ginrei Kuchiki fell ill, this interdimensional gateway had been controlled by Byakuya. Throwing Byakuya's Zanpakutō to the ground, Ailin stepped into the interdimensional gateway and flew swiftly towards the human world.

Watching as the interdimensional gateway gradually faded, Ginrei Kuchiki spat out a mouthful of blood. Only after being comforted by Byakuya did his breathing steady after a long while.

"Byakuya, did I do wrong?"

"Yes, grandfather. You were wrong."

"Yes, I was wrong."

Ginrei Kuchiki smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Byakuya. Even if grandfather passes on, you are still left with two huge troubles."

One huge trouble was Tsunayashiro Tokinada hidden in the human world. Ginrei Kuchiki had stumbled upon him gathering the Reiō's (Soul King) power. When Tokinada returned to Soul Society in the future, he would definitely target the Kuchiki family.

The second huge trouble was provoking someone as frightening as Ailin against the Kuchiki family.
