Chapter 350: The Possibility of Night City's Alliance
Chapter 350: The Possibility of Night City's Alliance
"Whether it's the Seireitei or you captains stationed in the Human World, what you do has nothing to do with me. I'm just an ordinary Shinigami, living off the system."
As a Third Seat, I'm not going to interfere too much. The sky may fall, but there are others to hold it up."
This time, I'm letting it go for Risa's sake, but the next time we meet, I'll still treat you as enemies because of our differing positions."
As Night City finished speaking, he picked up Ranju, who was lying nearby, protected by his Ghostly Technique, "Dao Shan Crystal," from her drunken state, and disappeared.
Seeing Night City leave, the Menos Grande and Yoruichi's group couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Aikawa Raibu, sitting dejected on the ground, even had the mood to joke, "Risa, because of your face, we were spared by him? Do you have a special relationship with him? Is there some secret story between you two?"
Hearing Aikawa's teasing, the others also turned their curious gazes towards the seductive bespectacled beauty.
"I'd love to have something happen with him, but that guy only has lustful thoughts, no courage.
And my relationship with him is just above average. Didn't you see how he held back when he fought me?
But you're right about one thing, Night City is smart. He must have noticed the internal problems within the Gotei 13, but he doesn't want to stir up trouble. That's very much like his character."
Those present weren't very familiar with Night City, so to learn more, they quietly listened to Risa's description.
"Damn it! If we had known all this before the fight, we could have been more cautious and wouldn't have been beaten so badly."
Hira was still brooding over the Menos Grande's crushing defeat.
There was no other way; for nearly a century, they had endured humiliation, all for the chance to take revenge one day. But before they could even face the big boss, Gin Ichigo, they had been wiped out by a passing "ordinary" Shinigami.
Although the Menos Grande was confident they could defeat Night City if they fought again at their peak, today's annihilation had already left a stain on their record and severely damaged their original self-confidence.
"If I had known that the Shinigami you were targeting, Hira, was Night City, I would never have agreed to attack him.
Given Night City's personality, if he can sit, he won't stand. The Gotei 13 is best at slacking off, and that's probably why he got along so well with my previous captain.
Even if he discovers something in the Human World, he'll definitely act as if he knows nothing because it's too much trouble."
When Hira had suggested ambushing the Shinigami investigating in the Human World, Risa hadn't objected because she genuinely hadn't expected it to be Night City.
Otherwise, whether out of friendship or other considerations, Risa would have spoken up to stop it.
"So, Risa, do you think there's a high possibility that Night City is on Gin Ichigo's side?"
Yoruichi's question also caught the attention of the other Menos Grande members, as this was something they all cared about deeply.
Dealing with Gin Ichigo was already challenging, but if there was another opponent with such deep and unpredictable strength and a clever mind, their quest for revenge would undoubtedly become even more difficult.
"Impossible! Admittedly, Night City's actions and methods seem very similar to Gin Ichigo's, but their personalities are worlds apart.
Gin Ichimaru's concealment and disguise were driven by his grand ambitions, while Night City's disguise and secrecy stemmed from a simple desire for a low-profile and a fear of trouble.
The greater one's power, the greater one's responsibility; this guy understood this principle well, and to continue slacking off, he had always played the role of an ordinary bystander.
His persistent refusal of promotions to the position of vice-captain likely revealed his character; while it may seem harsh to say so, this guy was indeed a typical example of someone without grand aspirations.
Even someone as ambitious and cunning as Gin Ichimaru would gradually climb the ranks to become a captain, using the power of his position to better achieve his goals.
But those who knew Night City were well aware that this guy was always thinking of ways to be lazy, and his only focus was on lying flat.
After listening to Risasha's vivid description, Hira and the others couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief, even suddenly feeling that their previous ambush of such a person was like dropping their IQ on the ground.
"Then what about the possibility of recruiting him to our side?
Night City's formidable strength is one thing, but if we have someone in the Seireitei providing us with information, it would be quite advantageous for us."
Previously, Yoruichi and Furukawa Kiyotsugu had also considered recruiting Night City, but they weren't very close to him, and a sudden approach might only arouse his suspicions.
Since Risasha was a friend of Night City, contacting him through this identity should be more favorable.
"It'll probably be difficult. As I said before, he's someone who avoids trouble.
And he's very cautious by nature. If he knows how dangerous Gin Ichimaru is, based on my understanding of that guy, he'll likely keep his distance..."
Risasha's words left the Menos Grande and Yoruichi's group in silence once again.
The outspoken Nishiri even spoke up at this moment, "Is something wrong here? That guy's strength is many times greater than Hira's, yet his personality is so timid?
And from his performance in the previous battle, he seemed like a ruthless person.
Not to mention his audacity to face multiple opponents, but when his short sword stabs himself, he doesn't hold back at all. Even if he can reverse cause and effect, the pain of the blade entering the flesh is still unavoidable, right?"
Hira, who was lying down and stabbed, couldn't help but become furious upon hearing Nishiri's words, "I was caught off guard. If I had unleashed my full Bankai, I wouldn't have lost to him!"
Looking at the group still arguing, Yoruichi rubbed her head and then looked at Risasha, saying, "Anyway, Risasha, you should try to make contact first. If we can gain Night City's assistance, that's the best outcome.
If not, at least don't become his enemy. I'll go back and discuss this with Kiyotsugu."
After leaving these words, Yoruichi directly disappeared, feeling the need to discuss Night City's strength and personality, as revealed by Risasha, with Furukawa Kiyotsugu.
On the Menos Grande's side, after using a barrier to restore the street to its original state, they left one by one, dragging their injured bodies.
The battle with Night City had dealt a heavy blow to their previously inflated confidence. Feeling that they had become somewhat lax recently, they now planned to undergo rigorous training to seek revenge on Night City someday.
As for Furukawa Kiyotsugu's shop, after learning about Night City's achievements and personality, Kiyotsugu closed the paper fan in his hand and said, "From what I can see, Night City should be fine."
