Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 - 166: Sisters

Masatsuki Aozaki's gaze slowly swept over Rangiku Matsumoto and Yuhime in the distance.

Just as he had expected, the originally beautiful faces of the two women were now puffed up like little buns, their cheeks round and full of anger, as if they could hold two eggs inside. They looked unbelievably cute!

It was clear that these two beauties had gotten jealous over something.

"Are you two going to fight or not? Don't forget why we took the day off!"

At Masatsuki Aozaki's words, both Rangiku and Yuhime lightly flicked their silky hair.

Rangiku frowned and asked, "What should we do now? Did you come all this way just to fight me?"

The core of mastering Bankai lies in gaining the Zanpakutō's recognition. However, earning that recognition doesn't necessarily mean defeating it in battle.

Take Zangetsu, for example. The trial he set for Ichigo Kurosaki in the original timeline wasn't just a test of strength. In addition to fighting, Ichigo had to accurately pick out the real Zangetsu from among numerous strangely shaped Zanpakutō.

Masatsuki Aozaki's path to Bankai, however, was even more treacherous—he had to put forth every effort, exhausting both mind and body, to conquer Banshō Senran.

To this day, Masatsuki still remembers that experience vividly. The sight of the two sisters clinging to each other in their sleep remains fresh in his memory.

That battle had been nothing short of terrifying, lasting an entire three months without a single break.

And it wasn't just Banshō Senran—the other women within his inner world had also materialized. The sheer intensity of that confrontation had nearly driven even a battle-hardened warrior like him to surrender.

Yet, in the end, through sheer perseverance and relentless effort, he overcame every obstacle and claimed victory.

Yuhime's lips curved into a slight smile as she spoke softly, "I understand you, just as you understand me. You know what my heart desires."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "If you can meet my expectations, I will help you complete your Bankai training."

"Rangiku, Masatsuki wants you to master Bankai. You wouldn't want to let him down, would you?"

"How can this be?!"

Rangiku clenched her fists, the flames of anger in her eyes almost becoming tangible.

This feeling was too strange—like she was handing over her lover to someone else... Something so ridiculous was absolutely unacceptable!

But Masatsuki had always wanted her to grow stronger. If she failed to master Bankai, wouldn't that leave him terribly disappointed?

Rangiku's mind was in turmoil. Her steps were unsteady as she slowly, hesitantly walked toward Yuhime, trapped in a deep internal struggle.

"Haha, I really don't understand why you're so fixated on this. I look exactly like you—can't you just see me as a part of yourself?"

Yuhime gazed at Rangiku Matsumoto and couldn't help but laugh.

She couldn't understand it. Rangiku had always been kind and forgiving toward others, yet she was so strict with her—just because they shared the same face?

But the more you forbid me, the more I want to do it.

You never care about the other women, so why is it that I'm the only exception?

It's so unfair! _{fre eweb\(n)ovel(.)co(m)}

The more Yuhime thought about it, the more indignant she became. A strange mix of anger and resentment welled up in her chest. She truly couldn't comprehend why Rangiku was so lenient with others yet so harsh toward her.

Her eyes slowly locked onto Masatsuki Aozaki's charming smile, filled with a glimmer of expectation.

Rangiku had always treasured Masatsuki. For his sake, she just might agree.

After all, this wouldn't be the first time she compromised for him.

Thinking of this, Yuhime grew excited, and the tension in her body gradually eased.

"This is the perfect opportunity—it's right in front of me! As long as I seize this fleeting chance, I can finally be with Masatsuki..."
