"Lord Kenma, the main structure of the Stealth Force has been completed. All that remains is some simple interior decoration."
"At the same time, I have arranged a barrier around the outer layer to ensure that the situation inside the base is not easily leaked."
"Even if a Captain-level battle breaks out inside, it can withstand it."
Tessai Tsukabishi, the Grand Kido Chief draped in a white haori, pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a sheen of white light.
Kenma was slightly stunned, finding it somewhat incredible.
"So fast?"
Having said that, he used Shunpo to immediately enter the cave and inspect the situation inside.
At this moment, after Tessai Tsukabishi's Kido construction, the situation within this massive hollowed-out mountain space had undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period.
The piles of yellow earth, rocks, and the potholed ground from before had vanished, replaced by flat stone paving.
On the smooth stone bricks, buildings of varying heights now stood, the tallest tower reaching all the way to the top of the cavern.
These buildings were arranged in a well-proportioned manner, row upon row, looking full of structural beauty. The external style was similar to the Seireitei, with white walls and orange tiles, combining to form a rather beautiful architectural complex.
Kenma looked over them one by one; they were basically consistent with the blueprints he had provided.
Activity squares, training grounds, office areas, staff dormitories, cafeterias... everything was there.
Even the hot spring area had been renovated into a room to facilitate bathing.
On the white wall of the outermost building, a massive Shihoin family crest was engraved, occupying almost the entire wall.
And on the crescent moon in the very center of the family crest, a large character for 'Stealth' was written.
After taking a general look at these buildings, Kenma appeared in front of the Grand Kido Chief, a look of appreciation showing between his brows.
"As expected of the Grand Kido Chief. To construct such magnificent buildings in just one day is truly eye-opening."
Everything in the Soul Society was composed of Reishi, naturally including these inorganic substances like walls, stones, and water flow.
And Kido was the means of controlling Reishi through movements and incantations.
Using Kido to build houses was simply getting twice the result with half the effort.
Not to mention that the one taking action was the number one person in Kido, Grand Kido Chief Tessai Tsukabishi.
Previously, Kenma had entrusted Fugaku to find someone reliable from the Kido Corps to build it. After receiving Kenma's request, Tessai Tsukabishi thought about it again and again, and decided to go personally.
Who could be more reliable than him, the Grand Kido Chief?
Hearing Kenma's praise, Tessai Tsukabishi waved his hand: "I am unworthy of such praise from Lord Kenma. As long as you are satisfied, that is enough."
"Satisfied! Naturally, I am satisfied!"
originally, in Kenma's estimation, even using Kido construction would take at least six or seven days to complete.
He never thought Tessai Tsukabishi's speed would be so fast, taking only one day from start to finish. If the time spent understanding the blueprints was removed, the time would have been even shorter.
It was evident how deep his cultivation in Kido had reached.
Hearing the emotion in Kenma's words, Tessai Tsukabishi's serious expression relaxed a bit.
"It is good that Lord Kenma is satisfied."
Tessai Tsukabishi felt that the mental and physical effort he had spent all day was not in vain.
He had earned another considerable remuneration.
At this moment, Tessai Tsukabishi looked at Kenma and asked a question that had been puzzling him.
"Lord Kenma, I see that you are still wearing this Shihakushō. Why haven't you put on the haori bestowed by Central 46?"
"After all, it was bestowed by the Sages; it would be better to wear it."
Tessai Tsukabishi's subtle reminder made Kenma smile internally, though he showed a humble expression on his face.
"The Stealth Force has not been set up yet; currently, there isn't even a skeleton. Naturally, it isn't good to wear it and swagger through the streets."
"It's better to wait until the Stealth Force has taken some shape before wearing it. Only when the name matches the reality will I not fail the expectations of the Sages of Central 46."
Hearing this, Tessai Tsukabishi immediately felt a surge of respect.
"Lord Kenma is indeed a rigorous person, truly worthy of being the hero chosen by the Sages."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Tessai Tsukabishi left the place carrying the remuneration Kenma had given him.
After Kenma wandered around inside with a sense of novelty for a while, Fugaku's figure suddenly appeared to the side, kneeling on one knee.
"My Lord, the Uchiha clansmen and those Marines... Shisui has brought them all. They are currently standing by at the front square."
"When entering the Seireitei, you weren't discovered, were you?"
Kenma glanced sideways at Fugaku.
Fugaku's face was calm as he said, "No."
"The current Seireitei has lifted martial law, and the Seireitei walls have been retracted. Relying on the name of the Shihoin family, they can enter and exit at will."
"Moreover, they entered at night, so they weren't exposed."
"That is good."
Kenma nodded lightly.
"Let's go."
The two figures flashed and immediately appeared on the stone steps beneath the massive 'Stealth' character, looking down at the groups of people below.
These Uchihas wore dark blue Uchiha long-coat uniforms and stood in neat rows. Rows of bright red Sharingan lit up, yet they were silent, full of a chilling intent.
Their aura was imposing.
As for the Marines, they were all draped in their most solemn Justice coats.
After Kenma appeared, he took a rough look. There were at least a hundred people here.
Standing at the front, Shisui and Elder Setsuna saw Kenma's figure first and immediately knelt on one knee, lowering their heads.
"Subordinate Uchiha Setsuna, leading ninety-two Uchiha clansmen and seven Marines, here to pay respects to my Lord."
Following their movements, the rows of Uchihas behind them all did the same.
"Rise, no need for formalities."
Kenma gestured slightly for the Uchiha clansmen to rise.
As far as Kenma knew, the Uchiha clan currently had a total of only one hundred and sixty or so clansmen with Shinigami aptitude.
And right now, ninety-two elites had been sent out at once, and even the presiding Elder Setsuna had come.
It was clear that aside from the necessary people guarding their compound, all other manpower had been sent over.
As for the seven Marines, they were ability users and those with outstanding aptitude who were willing to come and serve after hearing about this matter.
With this group of people as the backbone, and allowing Fugaku, Shisui, and others familiar with the Seireitei to lead them, the skeleton of the Stealth Force could basically be built immediately.
Seeing these people in front of him, Kenma's mood instantly brightened.
He immediately nodded to Fugaku beside him.
Receiving Kenma's cue, Fugaku took out a stack of documents, went down, and handed them to the people in the front row.
Kenma swept his gaze over them and spoke slowly, "Inside here are some of my general administrative plans for the Stealth Force. As for the specific details, you are all ninjas, experts in this field, so you should be clearer on it than I am. I will not go into detail here."
"If you encounter anything unreasonable, report it to Fugaku, Setsuna, Shisui, and the others in a timely manner so it can be modified."
Kenma spoke briefly and did not elaborate further.
As for these Marines, they were obviously the type more skilled in frontal combat. Kenma honestly didn't know how to arrange them for the moment.
If nothing else, he would temporarily assign them to guard duty at the main gate of the headquarters.
Each of them had such a strong physique; at the very least, they looked very imposing!
He would assign them properly later when suitable positions were found.
Just then, a woman's clear voice suddenly rang out from behind Kenma, revealing a hint of teasing laughter.
"Mr. Serious, I didn't expect you to have gathered so many people so quickly."
"This has truly exceeded my expectations."
