"Tsuna, can't we go watch the game?" Tatsuki asked pitifully, clinging to Tsuna's arm.

"No." Tsuna coldly brushed Tatsuki's hand away. "Tomorrow is too dangerous. You all stay at Kūkaku Shiba's house for now. If anything happens, immediately open the Senkaimon and go back."

Fearing that Tatsuki and the others might disobey, Tsuna reiterated, "Ichigo will also stay here. If you sense anything amiss, you must protect Aunt Kurosaki and the sisters and get them back, understand?"

"Tsuna, is tomorrow really that dangerous? It sounds to me like it's just a contest," Ichigo asked.

"Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's personality has somewhat surprised me. I don't know how he views us. It would be troublesome if he still sees us as enemies," Tsuna said. "Also, Hirako have rejoined the team. We can't completely trust them. Uryū should be extra careful."

Tsuna reminded Uryū because he knew Ichigo was unwilling to doubt others. Sure enough, Tsuna immediately objected as soon as Ichigo finished speaking.

"Tsuna, we've worked so hard together for so long, it shouldn't be like this..."

"They've been Bleach in Soul Society longer, so their perspective is dictated by their position. They're Bleach in the Gotei 13 now." Ichigo was shut down by Tsuna's words.

"Then wouldn't I be a Grim Bleach for even longer, Tsuna?" Yoruichi pushed open the door and walked in. "Then why did you call me here?"

"Yoruichi- san is different. From the moment you acknowledged the manager, your fates were already firmly intertwined. And the manager..." Tsuna slapped his forehead, a look of admiration on his face, "The manager's vision has long since transcended the Soul Society."

From the moment Urahara Shop appeared in the story, Koume and Jinta were already following Urahara, which means that from the very beginning Urahara Kisuke's vision was already focused on the stability of the Three Worlds.

"In short, in case of any special circumstances, you shall follow Yoruichi's instructions."

After Tsuna finished speaking, Isshin also came in with his family. Isshin then went to the next room to give him two instructions: first, to observe the battle, and second, to give Toshiro some guidance.

"Uncle, can't you just stay away from the fun? That way I wouldn't have to explain so much to you," Tsuna complained. Isshin was quite strong and had experience organizing as a captain, making him very suitable to protect Ichigo and his large group.

"It's not easy to encounter a battle that will make you reveal your secrets, so of course I have to go and see it!" Isshin, arms crossed, head slightly raised, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The same situation was playing out in all the divisions of Seireitei. After the Sōkyoku and the previous invasion by the Ryoka, no one doubted Tsuna's strength anymore, and the captains who did not attend the meeting were all looking forward to tomorrow.

"That man Tatsuki Arisawa? Just wait and see how I make fun of you!" Soi Fon was still resentful that Tatsuki was able to become Yoruichi's apprentice, and her dissatisfaction had spread to Tsuna.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi ..." Byakuya didn't say much. He kept recalling the scene of Tsuna's appearance and the matter of Tsuna reminding him about Rukia. He wanted to see for himself what Sawada Tsunayoshi's abilities were.

"A battle between the Captain-Commander and Sawada? I will witness it with my own eyes!" Sajin Komamura said.

"Is there a big battle tomorrow? Why am I not the one fighting? Yachiru, I really want to fight that guy again!" Kenpachi Zaraki complained to Yachiru.

"Fight? Wouldn't it be better to do two more experiments in this time? Nemu, go and release all the Quincy data from the warehouse. This isn't enough!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri commanded all the soldiers in the Technology Development Bureau like a general.

The next day, Sogyoku Hill was surrounded by the Kidō Corps early in the morning. With the former Kido Master in charge, the task of commanding the group was a piece of cake.

Because the complexity of this Kido barrier even surpasses that of the Seireitei, although its range is smaller than that of the Seireitei, its defensive capabilities far exceed those of the Seireitei barrier. It can't be shattered by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's single slash, otherwise what's the point of fighting?

The appointed time had arrived, and all the captains of the Gotei 13, except for Kurotsuchi Mayuri, headed towards Sōkyoku under Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's leadership.

Hirako and Hirako team have filled the vacant positions. Hiyori is now the Vice-Captain of the 5th Division, while Kuna Hak is under Kensei's command, making them nominally super Vice-Captain. The smarter ones, Aikawa Love, Lisa, and Hachigen, have all been thrown into the new organization.

The group that came from Tsuna's side was much more disorganized, consisting of only him and Isshin. They greeted Urahara at the Urahara at the entrance to Sōkyoku, bringing the total number of people on Tsuna's side to three.

Upon entering the barrier, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the others were already lined up in the formation for the captains' meeting; anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to have a meeting on Sōkyoku.

Urahara quickly got to work, and after a series of antics to get people together, the group squeezed into a corner. He even thoughtfully prepared stools of varying heights for everyone so that no one would block their view.

"Captain Ukitake, please place your Sogyo no Kotowari on it." Urahara said, taking out two sword holders. This was something he had arranged with Ukitake beforehand, in order to use the power of the Sogyo no Kotowari to avoid being injured by the aftershocks of the battle.

After freeing the Sogyo no Kotowari, Ukitake placed them on the sword rack, and then, with Urahara's inscription of a series of Kido patterns, a small barrier enveloped them.

"Gentlemen, everything is ready. You may now make your move." Urahara shouted through a megaphone, "However, the strength of the Kido barrier is limited, and I can't say how long it can hold."

Unless the person who cast this barrier possesses strength comparable to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the barrier will be broken sooner or later; it's only a matter of time.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, there's no time to lose, I'll make my move!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's cane transformed into Zanpakuto, a wave of heat emanating from Zanpakuto. "Shinra Bansho will turn to ashes, Ryūjin Jakka!"

As Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto drew his sword, the entire Sōkyoku was engulfed in a sea of fire. In Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's hands, this strongest fire-type Zanpakuto was a terrifying attack with every casual strike.

"Hey Old Man Yamamoto, aren't you underestimating me a bit? A Shikai is enough to take me down, why bother with all these barriers?"

Tsuna's voice came from within the flames. Faced with the heat wave from Ryūjin Jakka, Tsuna simply drew his Zanpakuto and released a little spiritual pressure to isolate all the flames.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto smiled slightly. He could sense that Tsuna was isolated from the attack by the sea of fire, but to ask him to use Bankai right away? What a joke! If he had the guts, he would force him to use Bankai!

"Boy, if you want me to use my full strength, then try it!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto swung his sword again and shouted, "Matsuaki!"

Under Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's control, a huge fire tornado appeared where Tsuna was. Under the encroachment of the tornado's flames, Tsuna's spiritual pressure was gradually consumed, while Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto only needed to maintain the rotation of the flames, which did not require much effort at all.

"Well."

Tsuna sighed. He had thought Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would immediately Bankai, but it turned out to be just another little test. However, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto made Tsuna somewhat certain that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't have any ill intentions towards him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a Ryūjin Jakka or Matsuba from the start, but rather a powerful strike after Bankai.

"In that case, I'll have to make the first move. Bankai!"

A powerful spiritual pressure shattered the fire tornado created by Matsumura, replacing the fiery red tornado with purple flames. The flames gradually condensed, revealing Tsuna's appearance within them.

Tsuna held two black Floating Cloud Tonfas, wore a cloud bracelet with a hedgehog pattern on his left wrist, and wore a black stand-up collar trench coat with neat buttons on the upper body and the lower body swaying with the fire. The words "Floating Cloud Bite Kill" were printed on the hem of the coat. He wore Disciplinary Armband on his left shoulder and the Disciplinary Characters" was printed on the back. He looked exactly like a student council president in charge of discipline.

"Unfettered, solitary, a cloud..."

As he finished speaking, Tsuna officially completed his Cloud Attribute Bankai. The reason he used the Cloud Attribute to fight Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was because the Cloud Attribute was the strongest power that Tsuna had mastered at this stage, without exception.

Sensing Tsuna's restrained spiritual pressure, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto smiled with satisfaction. It was yet another new form of Bankai. Even without a direct confrontation, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto knew that Tsuna in this form was stronger than most of the captains.

Ryūjin Jakka burned fiercely like a giant torch. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto raised his hand and unleashed another attack, a move Tsuna was familiar with: City Wall on Fire.

A giant flaming hand descended from the sky; the temperature of this attack was much higher than that of pine torches, and one could easily suffer burns from the intense heat if not careful.

Tsuna didn't even look at the large hand above his head. Instead, he raised the bracelet to his face and softly called out, "Roll."

Tsuna woke up the Roll, who was sleeping inside the Cloud Bracelet, and, already connected by thought, it pounced on Tsuna's head in a flash.

Under the amplifying effect of Cloud Attribute flames, the fist-sized Roll rapidly split and expanded, covering Tsuna's head with enormous purple needle-like spheres, resembling hot air balloons.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto 'City Wall on Fire fiery palm slammed into the cactus-like purple needle-like sphere, without leaking a single flame.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded with great satisfaction; this amazing ability seemed to hold great promise.

However, before Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto could finish his sigh, he instinctively swung his sword forward. Tsuna's figure appeared in front of him without him noticing. Tsuna quickly swung his Floating Cloud Tonfas and seized the initiative in the battle.

The Cloud Attribute Bankai suit granted Tsuna powerful close-combat abilities. The instant the Roll burst out from above his head, Tsuna had already charged towards Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, seizing the moment when Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was distracted and overwhelming Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto with a barrage of attacks.

"If you continue to fight me with this attitude, I'll bite you to death!"

As the words fell, Tsuna swung his crutch heavily, the floating Floating Cloud Tonfas striking the blade of Ryūjin Jakka, forcing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto back.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's faint smile remained unchanged. Tsuna's new Bankai was indeed somewhat unexpected, but everything was still under his control. Ryūjin Jakka was enough.

Just as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was about to retort to Tsuna, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto immediately turned around and swung his sword, flames shooting into the sky. Only then did he see what the Ryūjin Jakka had struck.

It was a giant purple spiky ball; if Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attention were completely drawn to Tsuna, the spikes on the ball would pierce through Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's body.

"That was close, just a hair's breadth away." A serious look appeared on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's face. He had to admit that this Bankai somewhat strange, but that was all.

Amidst the soaring flames, the Roll, Needle Ball State curl burst open like a balloon, but it did not completely disappear. Instead, like an exploding balloon, it turned into fragments, each carrying two or three sharp spikes that floated in the air.

With just one scheme, Tsuna turned the area around Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto into a familiar battlefield, and after Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's first strike, Tsuna attacked once again.
