Shinigami: Medicine Can't Save The Soul Reaper Society

For a moment, whether it was the usually prideful Fon or the seemingly cold and insincere Gin, both simultaneously refused to fight Makoto in their own way, subtly expressing their confidence in their ability to defeat him.

However, with Makoto already manifesting his "Bankai: Shinjo Kabutsu" state, how could he possibly allow Fon and Gin to engage in battle with each other?

What's more, sometimes, whether it's men or women, a verbal "no" often means "yes."

Standing atop the colossal Buddha, Makoto adjusted his glasses and spoke earnestly in a loud voice.

"This is a three-person free-for-all in the training grounds. Unfortunately, compared to your abilities, my Zanpakuto's powers hold an unparalleled advantage in this kind of confined battlefield…"

"So, be careful~"

As Makoto's words fell, the seemingly lifeless giant Buddha began to move. Its seated figure atop countless massive trees leaned slightly forward, and its closed eyes seemed to gaze down at the Seireitei with an imposing aura.

In the next moment, a massive number of Buddha palms, resembling a vast wheel from afar, descended simultaneously upon Gin and Fon.

"Shinjo Kabutsu: Senrin Shinra!"

(Thousand Rings of All-Encompassing Nature)

Perhaps the Shinigami in the Seireitei had never witnessed a palm strike falling from the heavens, but at this moment, they were beholding the very essence of a Buddha Palm Storm!

Thousands of colossal Buddha arms fell upon the training grounds, instantly casting a shadow that completely engulfed the area.

What was even more terrifying was that a single descending Buddha arm could leave a gigantic crater on the training grounds, which had been fortified with Kido.

In terms of destructive power, a single strike could easily destroy most of a district in the Rukongai.

Yet now, thousands of these arms descended at the same time, blotting out the sky as they fully enveloped Gin and Fon.

This scene not only shocked Gin and Fon but also caused many of the observing captains nearby to instinctively tense up.

Putting themselves in their shoes, many captains realized that, in the face of such a terrifying attack, they would have no means of defending themselves…

The sheer number of arms, their destructive power, and the colossal defense implied by the Buddha's size—it was utterly overwhelming.

In just this one move, many captains couldn't help but recall Makoto's earlier explanation:

"Shinjo Kabutsu sacrifices flexibility and healing abilities in exchange for an extremely powerful offensive and defensive form!"

Indeed, the seated form of the giant Buddha atop the trees didn't seem capable of movement…

'In other words, the best way to counter Shinjo Kabutsu is to create enough distance, or to use something like Captain-Commander Yamamoto's extreme heat to forcibly destroy it?'

As many captains unconsciously pondered countermeasures, Fon and Gin, trapped within the training grounds, felt as though they were enveloped in a shadow of despair.

Although neither Fon nor Gin believed that the gentle Makoto would truly harm them, they found it equally unbearable to lose so miserably before him.

Amidst the countless falling Buddha palms, Fon and Gin pushed their speed to the limit, darting through the gaps like fleeting shadows.

Faced with the inescapable descent of the giant palms, Fon used the destructive force of Shunko to forcibly repel the strikes.

As for Gin, his Zanpakuto, Shinsō, extended and retracted rapidly, carving out spaces for him to evade.

From a distance, it appeared as though Makoto, the Vice-Captain of the Fourth Division, was overpowering two captain-level opponents simultaneously with ease.

This level of strength… was astonishing.

To the watching captains, Fon and Gin had already demonstrated power worthy of captaincy.

In other words, Makoto, though merely a Vice-captain, was effectively suppressing two captains at once!

"This is terrifying…"

"As expected of the disciple of the great elder—he's anything but simple!"

"So this is the so-called healing expert from the Fourth Division? It makes this old man, a mere Seventh Division captain, feel quite ashamed!"

As the captains watched, Fon and Gin became increasingly strained, relying solely on evasion and defense. The longer the battle dragged on, the more mistakes they made.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

Two resounding impacts echoed as Fon and Gin were struck by the relentless storm of Senrin Shinra and slammed into the ground below.

Seeing this, Makoto maintained his fearsome assault while subtly offering a reminder.

"Vice-Captain Ichimaru, Soi Fon, isn't it about time to end this meaningless testing?"

Pausing, Makoto added, "Simply destroying the Buddha's extended palms is futile. My Bankai is different from Captain Komamura's—any damage to the giant Buddha doesn't affect me."

"Or is this the extent of your determination to become captains?"

These words shattered any lingering hesitation in Fon and Gin's hearts.

Such disgraceful failure… was not what Makoto expected of them!

In that instant, Gin's spiritual pressure surged severalfold. A blinding white light broke through the layers of Buddha palms, piercing straight into the giant Buddha.

"Bankai: Kamishini no Yari!"

Before the captains could even hear Gin's words, the lightning-fast strike of Kamishini no Yari had already penetrated the Buddha's chest.

For a brief moment, the endless barrage of Senrin Shinra halted, revealing Gin standing amidst the chaos, a sinister smile on his face.

"A giant Buddha, huh? Vice-Captain Senju, what a pity—my Bankai is named the God-Slaying Spear…"

The chilling tone, combined with his icy gaze, seemed to lament that the attack hadn't targeted Makoto directly.

Pausing, Gin shifted his gaze to Fon and added, "Of course, compared to a giant Buddha, using this Bankai to take down a little bee seems like overkill…"

However, before Gin could finish, his voice faltered as he stared blankly at Fon.

At this moment, Fon's Zanpakuto, Suzumebachi, had transformed dramatically.

A massive golden, whip-like missile, more than ten times her size, was now fixed to her right arm, with its tail extending into intricate golden structures that encased her entirely.

The next moment, as Fon stomped heavily on the ground, the golden structure expanded outward, anchoring itself like a launch pad.
