"The reason you can't fully control the Hollow power right now is because your Shinigami and Quincy powers were stronger before. After the previous battle, your Hollow power has fully awakened. In the future, you only have two paths: one is to keep these three powers in a balanced state, like the Three Kingdoms. The second method is to completely fuse these three powers, which is the path taken by the Soul King and the future Kurosaki Ichigo," the Spirit Form said. "At the same time, the Hollow power's berserk state is related to the fluctuation of negative emotions. You should still remember when Kurosaki Ichigo first achieved complete Hollowfication."
Yamabuki was very familiar with the Bleach plot. Kurosaki Ichigo's true Hollowfication only happened once, during his battle with Ulquiorra, when the Bull Head Hollow awakened.
In that duel, the combat power of both sides might not have been the highest at the time, but it was definitely Kurosaki Ichigo's most desperate battle.
Despite his best efforts, he still couldn't even touch the edge of Ulquiorra, and Ulquiorra's first release form could already completely defeat Kurosaki Ichigo. To make Kurosaki Ichigo completely despair, he even showed his second release and killed Kurosaki Ichigo in front of Inoue Orihime.
Despair reached its peak, his beloved girl's life was threatened, everything completely collapsed!
The Hollow's power also reached its peak at that time. Kurosaki Ichigo completely Hollowfied and displayed power far beyond his usual capabilities.
Yamabuki was the same; poisoned, his internal organs melting, and tormented to the point of agony even in a state of super-regeneration. When his spirit completely collapsed, the Hollow's power took over.
"So, to completely control the Hollow's power, first and foremost, you must learn to control your emotions. Even if your best friend is killed, or the woman you love dies in front of you, you must remain calm. Can you do that?" the Spirit Form asked.
"No," Yamabuki said very readily. He truly couldn't.
"I knew it, then let's start with the basics. Overcoming fear." The Spirit Form's lips curled into a mysterious smile, making Yamabuki very uneasy. What exactly was this girl going to do?
"Don't worry, we are one person, I know what you fear most. Tonight at 8 PM, meet at the Underground Training Ground, no problem?" The Spirit Form smiled and ran out of the room: "I haven't explored Seireitei on my own yet, I'm going to play, you can continue your miserable work! The kind without pay, bye-bye!"
"Hey, hey, hey, come back, don't run off!" Yamabuki hurriedly chased after her, but it was already too late.
Now, Yamabuki only hoped that this girl wouldn't cause any trouble.
The issue of Hollowfication was temporarily resolved, and as for a complete solution, Yamabuki decisively chose to merge the three powers.
In the world of Bleach, the diversity of bloodlines represented absolute strength, and he had also benefited from this version's bonus.
Yamabuki swayed as he walked towards the First Division, intending to tell the Captain-Commander that his matter was concluded. As soon as he pushed open the door of the First Division Barracks, he saw Spirit Form sitting opposite the Captain-Commander, drinking tea.
"...Why are you here? Go home right now!" Yamabuki yelled, holding Spirit Form by the scruff.
The Captain-Commander actually liked children very much, but he usually appeared stern to maintain his authority as Captain-Commander.
"Yamabuki, who is this person to you? Your spiritual pressures are exactly the same," the Captain-Commander said with a chuckle.
Chōjirō Sasakibe also looked at Spirit Form with excitement; his focus was different. He was interested in the clothes Spirit Form was wearing—a black Gothic Lolita dress, which was completely different from the kimonos currently worn in Soul Society.
"This child... how should I put it?" Yamabuki looked troubled.
Spirit Form made a funny face, then turned and ran away. Yamabuki looked helpless and could only roughly explain the whole situation.
Chōjirō Sasakibe listened, dumbfounded. How was it possible? Brother Yamabuki could actually split such a cute girl from his own soul!
"The power of a Hollow?" The Old Man remained silent. Yamabuki was definitely an anomaly, possessing three completely different powers. If it weren't for his backing, those people from Central 46 would have already jumped out to condemn him.
Now, those people from Central 46 had changed their strategy: 'If I can't beat you, can't I still curse you?' When it comes to insulting people, we are all professional experts here.
Moreover, don't underestimate the power of public opinion. If a person's mind isn't strong enough, it's not impossible to be driven to depression by insults.
"How do you plan to handle this child?" the Captain-Commander asked.
Yamabuki knew that Spirit Form would eventually return to his body. When he could fully control the power of a Hollow, that would be the time for their reintegration.
He had to completely merge the three powers he controlled.
"If only I had a Hōgyoku," Yamabuki thought silently.
Unfortunately, the technology of this era was limited, and there were no geniuses like Aizen and Urahara Kisuke, making it almost impossible to develop a Hōgyoku.
Yamabuki and the Captain-Commander talked until evening, but while the Captain-Commander was recognized as the strongest Shinigami, he was only the strongest Shinigami. He had no good suggestions for merging the three powers, so Yamabuki could only go home and plan for the long term.
As soon as Yamabuki opened his door, he saw blood everywhere in the room. Unohana lay crimson in a pool of blood, with a sword still plunged into her chest.
Yamabuki's heart skipped a beat. He carefully walked over, then reached out and touched some of the blood on the ground, putting it to his mouth and lightly licking it. Then he said to Unohana, "What a waste! So much ketchup."
Unohana opened her eyes: "That child said this would scare you."
"Nothing in this world can scare me. And your flaws are just too many," Yamabuki said. "So much blood, yet there's not even a hint of a bloody smell in the air as soon as I entered? How is that possible? I'm someone who's been through countless battles; I still have that much common sense. Plus, the blood on the ground has congealed. If this were real blood, it would have turned dark red by now, but the 'blood' on the ground is still bright red. This must be ketchup. You did this, so you're responsible for cleaning it up later. Where's that brat?"
"Waiting for you in the Underground Training Ground," Unohana said bitterly, taking off her outer garment, wondering if the clothes she washed tonight would be dry tomorrow.
Yamabuki went directly to the Underground Training Ground. However, just as he jumped down, Spirit Form appeared above him with a mischievous grin.
"We are the same person; I know best what you're most afraid of. This is all for your own good!"
And behind Spirit Form stood another person, none other than the Captain of the Gotei 13's Squad Thirteen, Saizō Sakahone.
This rotten Old Man was very bad, always looking for an opportunity to get revenge on Yamabuki, and today he finally found one.
