Yoruichi: You Can't See Me!

Jiraiya once said that the protagonist of his novel had achieved a glorious career. In the end... he would die like a great ninja!

Perhaps this was already a premonition.

To Jiraiya, the value of a ninja's life was not decided by how they lived, but by what they accomplished before they died!

And Jiraiya had risked his life to sneak into Amegakure, fought the Six Paths of Pain, and ultimately sent the intel back to Konoha. That was what he accomplished before he died, and the ninja way he persistently pursued!

At this moment, Rayleigh also fell into silence because of Ron's words.

Yes, the thoughts in Jiraiya's heart were just like Roger's self-surrender back then. One was to open the Great Pirate Era, and the other was for his village.

Ron smiled and comforted, "Old man, everyone has their own fate."

"Who knows, maybe you'll die on the battlefield tonight."

Because it concerned a man's dignity, Rayleigh was furious. "Kid, can't you wish me some good?"

"It seems selling you that Devil Fruit and gifting you the sword 'Ace' was a mistaken investment."

Ron laughed. "You look like you've been cuckolded by Roger. Not only is the child not yours, but even your retirement money was swindled away."

"Seeing you so heartbroken, I'll treat you to a glass of fine wine."

Hearing the first half, Rayleigh's anger turned to killing intent, but hearing the second half, his wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile.

There was no other way; after being a pirate for so many years, one had to have flexible moral boundaries!

Immediately, Ron turned to take a bottle from the cabinet, poured a full glass, and handed it to Rayleigh.

"Rejuvenation Wine, highly nourishing!"

"Drink this glass slowly; it's too potent, don't let your decaying old body explode."

"Don't let this aging, rotting body blow up."

Looking at the light brown wine, Rayleigh immediately took a sip.

*Gulp...*

The moment the wine passed his throat, a wave of warmth slowly rose from his abdomen. Following that, his kidneys seemed to be filled with vitality once again. The depression, frustration, and anxiety caused by kidney deficiency were swept away!

His withered complexion gradually regained color.

"Excellent! This wine is truly excellent, the effect is even better than Tiger Whip Wine!" Rayleigh said in surprise.

"You'd better drink less, or your resistance to it will gradually decrease," Ron sighed softly.

Rejuvenation Wine was brewed from Chinese herbal medicines that nourished yin and tonified yang, such as horny goat weed, angelica, eleutherococcus, poria, cortex lycii, and atractylodes. With the system's enhancement, the effect was multiplied!

However, Rayleigh treated Ron's words as wind passing his ears, directly draining the glass. Putting down Jiraiya's tab money, he ran out of the tavern like the wind.

That posture looked as if he was determined to slay the enemy general tonight!

In the tavern, the customers gathered around. Hui Tai Lang, ignoring Aizen's resentful gaze, trotted over to Ron with a flattering face.

"Boss, sell me a glass. I'll bring you a new invention tomorrow."

"I'm preparing to go home and have another child tonight!"

"Take care of your health." Ron smiled and poured a glass of Rejuvenation Wine for him.

Next, he poured a glass each for Homelander, The Deep, Tokikake, and Escanor.

As for Doflamingo, he showed disdain. To him, with that time and energy, he would rather study how to overthrow the World Government.

Aizen was the same.

Suddenly, Demon Xiao Long saw Sheng Zhu looking eager and sneered, "My foolish father."

"Why bother trying to have another child? You might as well pass the throne directly to me."

Sheng Zhu snorted coldly. "You're already useless, only thinking of patricide every day!"

"I must quickly have another child to keep you in check."

After teaching his foolish son a lesson yesterday, Sheng Zhu wanted to relax. But of all things, he didn't expect Demon Xiao Long's revenge to come so quickly.

This guy had cast a curse on the female demons! Once touched, both mentally and physically, one would directly wither...

This made Sheng Zhu furious, and he conducted another "education of love" on his foolish son overnight.

At this moment, Sheng Zhu took the Rejuvenation Wine from Ron and downed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the corner of Demon Xiao Long's mouth curled up in a sinister smile.

*Old man, you're dead! Tonight, I'll spend a fortune to have the underworld sorcerers cast curses on all female demons. Want to have another child? Dream on!*

...

On the other side, Aizen looked at Hui Tai Lang, who was gnawing on a mutton leg while drinking the Rejuvenation Wine, and frowned.

"Great King Hui Tai Lang."

"According to the current progress, when will the Hōgyoku be completed?"

Hui Tai Lang thought for a moment and grinned. "Let's see the effect of this glass of wine first."

"If I can have another child."

"I'll definitely have to stay home to take care of my wife. The completion of the Hōgyoku will naturally have to be put on hold."

"Two months for birth, two years to raise him..."

"Calculating it, it should take about five years to complete the Hōgyoku."

Aizen's face twitched several times. Damn it. Initially, he said it would take a few months, and now it was directly extended to five years!

...

Aizen suddenly realized something was wrong. Great King Hui Tai Lang... damn it, I called him that naturally again! Does Hui Tai Lang know that once the Hōgyoku is completed, I will kill him immediately? Is that why he keeps delaying?

Damn it!

Thinking of this, Aizen had an urge to draw his sword. But in the end, he gave up. After all, what a Soul Reaper lacked least was time; he had plenty of time to wear him down!

But thinking about how he had to call Hui Tai Lang "Great King" for another five years made Aizen's chest tighten with anger.

Just then, the tavern's doorbell rang.

*Ding-ling...*

The moment the door was pushed open, a powerful force surged in from outside.

In an instant, Aizen's heart sank, and he quickly snatched the Hōgyoku back from Hui Tai Lang.

Yoruichi, who was sleeping in Ron's arms, also woke up abruptly, looking both wary and helpless. Speak of the devil.

In the next second, *clack, clack, clack, clack...*

Following steady footsteps, a bald old man slowly walked in. The old man had a solemn appearance, with a hint of kindness between his brows. He wore a white haori over a purple shihakushō.

Seeing the newcomer, Yoruichi quickly covered her face with her paws, silently chanting: *You can't see me, you can't see me...*

But in the next moment, a powerful, aging voice rang out: "Yoruichi, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Hmm, and Aizen?"

"Haha... It seems the wine in this tavern is not bad."

Yoruichi jumped onto the bar and said solemnly, "Head Captain Yamamoto, I don't see any good wine here."

This old man was the ceiling of combat power in the Bleach world.

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni!
