"Special Gigai?"
"What kind of special features do you want?"
Urahara Kisuke and Mayuri Kurotsuchi both looked puzzled.
Although Shinigami bore the name of gods, in the end, they were essentially just souls with great power.
In the world of the living, living beings could not see the figures of Shinigami.
And Gigai were tools used by Shinigami when they came to the world of the living to integrate into the world of the living.
After putting on a Gigai, a Shinigami's form could be seen by ordinary people, allowing them to interact with the living in the world of the living.
Kenma stated his well-thought-out requirements to the two of them.
"The current Gigai are too bulky and not easy to carry. So I want Gigai that are convenient to carry, preferably ones that can be put directly into a pocket and taken out for use at any time."
Urahara Kisuke nodded. "That's simple. It's just a matter of reducing the number of protons to achieve the goal of shrinking it."
The protons he spoke of were the smallest observable units of matter that constituted all substances in the world of the living.
And the smallest unit that constituted all substances in the Soul Society was the so-called spirit particle.
Kenma added, "In addition to that, I need to be able to exert stable power after wearing the Gigai, preferably my full power."
"That's impossible!"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's slightly hoarse voice rang out.
"A Gigai is meant to be a substitute body for a Shinigami in the world of the living. Once a Shinigami uses a large amount of power, it will inevitably involve a lot of spirit particles, which will only end up destroying the Gigai."
Kenma didn't speak, but instead looked at Urahara Kisuke.
After a moment of silence, Urahara Kisuke slowly said, "If we don't care about the damage to the Gigai… by changing its composition, it is possible to achieve that."
"But in that case, the Gigai would become a disposable item, one being destroyed with each attack. If you use your full power, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to maintain its form for an instant."
At this point, Urahara Kisuke had a sudden realization.
"I understand… no wonder you said from the beginning that you wanted a Gigai that was easy to store."
"Tsk, you just had to be the one to say it."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi at the side couldn't help but purse his lips, very displeased that Urahara Kisuke had stolen the limelight from him.
He then said to Kenma, "If that's the case, the difficulty will be much simpler."
Kenma asked, "How soon at the earliest?"
"Three days."
After Urahara Kisuke's voice sounded, Mayuri's competitive voice followed.
"For me, I can have results in two days!"
"Then I'll give you three days. Hand over the results to me in three days."
As Kenma's voice fell, Mayuri showed a provocative expression and looked at Urahara Kisuke at his side.
"Urahara Kisuke, why don't we have a competition on this and see whose work is more outstanding."
"I'm sure a dignified 3rd seat like you wouldn't be afraid of a challenge from a mere 4th seat like me, right?"
Faced with Mayuri's provocation, Urahara Kisuke's expression remained unchanged, completely unmoved.
"Completing the mission is the top priority."
Hearing this, Mayuri snorted coldly, his face becoming even more unfriendly.
Kenma paid no mind to the small friction between them and continued, "Besides the Gigai, there are three more things I need to ask you to research and create."
"What else?"
"Let's hear it."
Under the curious gazes of the two, Kenma held up three fingers.
"One is something that can freely convert between spirit particles and protons."
"I'll be accompanying Shisui to the world of the living this time, and I'll probably bring back some things from the world of the living. They need to be converted into things that can adapt to the Soul Society."
In the previous two trips to the Shinobi World and the Pirate World, Kenma was only concerned with bringing people back and had no time for anything else.
But this time, the new world he was going to… if it was a future technological society, he would naturally have to bring back some technological creations.
If it was a special kind of world, he would also have to bring back some local specialties, like the Devil Fruits from the Pirate World, or physical creatures like the Den Den Mushi.
Urahara Kisuke estimated the difficulty in his mind and nodded.
"That's no problem. When do you need it?"
"The sooner the better, at least before Shisui and I return."
If Kenma remembered correctly, in the future, Urahara Kisuke would create something similar, which even helped the protagonist's group get to the Soul Society.
He was naturally at ease entrusting this matter to Urahara Kisuke.
"The second thing is a medicine that can restore a person's youthful vitality."
Mayuri immediately cut in front of Urahara Kisuke and said, "That's no problem either. It's just a physical modification potion. It's a piece of cake for me."
He asked Kenma, "Who are the specific subjects?"
"Many people."
"So it's a general-purpose type…"
After thinking for a moment, Mayuri pressed on, "Then what about the density of the target's spirit particle arrangement? Oh, I mean, the so-called Spiritual Class."
Kenma frowned and asked curiously, "Is it related to that as well?"
"Of course."
Mayuri waved his hand and explained.
"A Third-Class Spiritual Authority is captain-level, and they are absolutely not the same as ordinary squad members. After those ordinary squad members die, the spirit particles that make up their bodies will return to the world of the Soul Society."
"But the body of someone who has reached Third-Class Spiritual Authority has a much denser combination of spirit particles. Even after death, this remains the case. It won't be naturally digested by the Soul Society, nor will it integrate into the Soul Society's spirit particle cycle."
"Over time, the accumulation of these spirit particles will have a negative impact on the Soul Society, which is why a Soul Burial Ceremony is held for those powerful individuals after they die…"
"This is not just for show; it has a clear purpose: to completely eliminate those spirit particles that cannot be integrated into the cycle."
Kenma nodded.
Deep in his memory, there was indeed such a setting.
He said, "The target population's spiritual pressure is not too high, only a Spiritual Class of sixteen or seventeen."
"If it's only below ten, then it's even simpler." Mayuri continued to ask, "To what age do you want them to be restored?"
"Around their twenties is fine."
Mayuri's brow furrowed. "So young? They're practically children who haven't grown up yet. Isn't that a bit too young?"
Hearing this, Kenma knew he had misspoken and corrected himself, "Twenty years old in the world of the living, which is over two hundred in the Soul Society."
"In that case, that's more like it."
Kenma added, "However, the ages of the target population are somewhat different. Some are old, and some are middle-aged."
"That's even less of a problem," Mayuri said. "I will make the potion in the simplest form, where the age they revert to depends on the dosage injected."
"And the time?"
Under Kenma's gaze, Mayuri's face showed confidence. "One day is enough. I will hand over the medicine to you along with the other things in three days."
"Alright."
Kenma looked at the two of them and stated his final request.
"I also need you to create two weapons for me: an excellent bow, and…"
Urahara Kisuke's brow furrowed as he asked, "And what?"
"Those muskets from the world of the living, have you seen them?"
"I have," Urahara Kisuke said. "A musket wouldn't be difficult to make, but as a weapon, isn't its power a bit weak?"
"That will depend on your own design."
Kenma was only responsible for making the requests; the specific execution was left to the two talented individuals before him.
"It would be best if these two weapons could be used even by ordinary souls, with their power increasing with the user's spiritual pressure. It would be ideal if they could inflict sufficient damage on a captain."
"This…"
Urahara Kisuke and Mayuri Kurotsuchi exchanged a look, both seeing the difficulty in each other's eyes.
"If you give us enough time…"
"Right now, we still have to research those things you need urgently."
"I can give you enough time for this, but the quality must be perfected."
After stating all his requests, Kenma put down his teacup and left with Shisui.
Just as Urahara Kisuke and the other were about to leave the reception room, they saw Captain Hikifune Kirio walking over.
She looked at the now-empty room, a look of regret on her face.
"Oh my, I heard from the squad members that little Kenma made a rare visit. I didn't expect him to be gone by the time I got here. What a pity."
Urahara Kisuke scratched his head and asked, "Captain, did you have business with him? I can pass on a message for you."
"Of course, I was thinking of giving him a proper welcome."
Hikifune Kirio patted the shoulders of the two of them, a smile on her face.
"After all, he was the one who recommended two such outstanding talents like you to me. I must thank him properly."
A look of understanding appeared on Mayuri's face.
"No wonder you went to his wedding. So that's why."
