A Contest of Strength

Tsuna smiled, patted Jiro's head, took the Left Katana that Jiro had brought back, and sheathed it.

"Hachi, can we talk this out now? I really didn't mean any harm," Tsuna shouted to Toshiro.

Toshiro remained silent for a moment. If Tsuna wanted to, he could have hurt him with either the Leaving Rain or when Jiro returned with the sword in his mouth.

"What's going on with Captain Zaraki?" Toshiro asked as he landed in front of Tsuna.

"That guy who only knows how to fight, if we don't take him down at the start, it'll be a real problem later." Tsuna Flash Step beside Kenpachi Zaraki using Shunpo, and Rain Flame rained down. Thanks to the Sedation effect, the bleeding from Kenpachi Zaraki's wounds immediately stopped.

"Thank you, Little Blue." Yachiru said very politely. The reason she called Tsuna" Little Blue" was because the rain attribute power she always used was blue.

Tsuna chuckled, squatted down, and said gently, "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vice-Captain Kusajishi. Nice to meet you."

"So it's Tsuna. Kenpachi didn't have a very satisfying fight this time. Let's fight again next time." Yachiru said to Tsuna, carrying Kenpachi Zaraki on her back.

"You know the way to the Fourth Division, right?" Tsuna asked.

"Of course, I often go to Ahua's place to play."

Seeing Yachiru's confident demeanor, Tsuna felt uneasy. If he remembered correctly, Kenpachi Zaraki lost because of Yachiru. If Yachiru went to the Fourth Division Fourth Division on her own, she might not be able to find the entrance even after exhausting her Rain Flame.

"Hachi, could you please take the injured person to the Fourth Division?" Tsuna asked Toshiro as he stood up.

"Is this how you get rid of me?" Toshiro asked.

"Actually, there's another way. I can cut you down and then have Yachiru take you to the Fourth Division." Tsuna stroked the two little animals on the hilt of his sword. "At that time, you'll probably have the energy to give directions, right?"

Toshiro's movements as he slashed at Tsuna were full of apprehension. So far, Tsuna had only used the dog-type katana and had never touched the swallow-type katana.

Based on the previous battle's intimidating barks, sharp claws, biting, and the dog's ability to retrieve thrown objects—all the moves were related to dogs. Therefore, it can be inferred that the swallow's katana on the other side must be related to the characteristics of a swallow, at the very least, it must be agile and fast.

In other words, if this guy named Sawada Tsunayoshi really wanted to cut him down, Toshiro wouldn't be able to use his speed to delay the time it took for the ice flowers to wither.

Unable to win either way, Toshiro released his Bankai and sheathed Hyōrinmaru in his scabbard. "There are plenty of captains in Seireitei stronger than me."

Tsuna sensed the threat in Toshiro and released his Bankai, saying, "Like I said, we mean no harm."

"No malice? Then can you tell me why the Hollow's spiritual pressure disappeared around here?" Toshiro sneered.

"Well..." Tsuna didn't know how to answer either, as Bleach and Hollows were still sworn enemies at the moment.

Toshiro didn't argue with Tsuna, but Kenpachi Zaraki on his back and said, "I will report the situation here to the First Division truthfully."

"Bye-bye." Tsuna disappeared Flash Step, giving Toshiro Tsuna others plenty of time to do a lot of things while he reported to the First Division.

"Tsuna's gone, Hachi."

"Remember, call me Captain Hitsugaya!" Toshiro had to repeat the correction.

"Vice-Captain Matsumoto, could you please stop following me?" Because Chad's spiritual pressure was too obvious, Yoruichi had no way to shake off Rangiku Matsumoto as long as she was heading in that direction.

"Sorry, it's my duty." Rangiku Matsumoto's hand remained on her Zanpakuto. Whether she drew it or not made a difference; drawing it would signify her formal intention to apprehend Yoruichi.

"Hmm? Is that kid done?" Yoruichi said to Tsuna with a smile, sensing that Rangiku's spiritual pressure had calmed down.

Yoruichi doesn't believe Tsuna can't defeat Toshiro. There's only one outcome: Tsuna will defeat Toshiro and is on his way.

Rangiku Matsumoto's expression changed slightly. If it were just Yoruichi, she could still use her relationship with the Seireitei to stall for time with words. But with Ryuka added to the Ryoka, it was hard to say.

Rangiku was speechless at the thought. It was agreed that the Vice-Captain would fight the Ryoka together when they encountered Ryoka, so why was she facing two Ryoka alone when it was her turn?

At that moment, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the place Yoruichi was heading to, where Chad was. Yoruichi turned around and saw a huge black-armored samurai standing in the Seireitei. Sajin Komamura Bankai.

"Hey, Rangiku, you're still here?" Tsuna appeared nearby, joining Yoruichi in flanking Rangiku.

Rangiku slowly drew her Zanpakuto. She had never felt such pressure before. One against two, did she really have a chance?

"We're all just working, there's no need to work so hard. Hachi's gone to the Fourth Division, aren't you going to go see him?" Tsuna continued.

"Captain? The captain is injured?" Rangiku was indeed drawn to the scene and rushed towards the Fourth Division without hesitation.

"Pretty clever," Yoruichi said. Regardless of whether Tsuna's statement was true or not, getting away was the best option for Rangiku.

Just as Tsuna and Yoruichi were about to head towards Chad, they heard a distress call on the communication system: "Is anyone there? This is Tatsuki. I'm being watched by the Squad 2."

Tsuna and Yoruichi exchanged a glance. Tsuna said, "Logically, I should be the one to go to Tatsuki's side, but the entire Squad 2 is your people. Yoruichi, what do you think?"

The relationship between the Squad 2 and the Four Great Noble Clans has been inseparable since ancient times. It is believed that Soi Fon completely controlled the Squad 2 during the time Yoruichi was away from Soul Society. Tsuna doesn't believe that the entire Squad 2 would receive a hint from the head of the Shihōin family to avoid causing trouble for the new captain Soi Fon.

The thought of Soi Fon's fanatical reaction gave Yoruichi a headache. "Fine, I'll go."

"Tatsuki, can you hear me? Yoruichi is on her way to you. Don't fight Soi Fon head-on, be careful of her Two-Hit Kill." Tsuna said in the communicator.

"Understood, I won't force my way in," Tatsuki said, as she quickly moved through a forest, showing no intention of fighting the Squad 2 head-on.

"I'm going," Yoruichi said.

"They're all your students, don't be too biased, Yoruichi- san."

Tsuna's words made Yoruichi stumble. Yoruichi rolled her eyes at Tsuna. How could she possibly be biased? If she were to be biased, it would be towards her own people.

After Yoruichi disappeared, Tsuna also rushed towards the giant samurai. In the distance, Chad's spiritual pressure, emitting white light, could be seen rushing towards the Black Rope Heavenly Punisher.

As dawn broke today, Yasutora Sado discovered that the patrol force within Seireitei had increased several levels, and the density of the Bleach's searches was no longer something he could easily evade.

With no other option, Chad had to endure several skirmishes.

Fortunately, the Bleach Chad encountered were not very strong. He didn't even need to use Fullbring; he took down most of them with just his fists.

The bad thing is that after the First Division made the request, these Bleach were no longer stubborn and immediately reported the situation to Bleach of the Seated Officer and above. The Yasutora Sado was the Seventh Division, which guards the inner palace. The captain, Sajin Komamura, and the Vice-Captain, Tetsuzōzaemon Iba, rushed to the scene after receiving the report.

Sajin Komamura is a burly man wearing a mask, while the Vice-Captain, Shiba, with his sunglasses and exposed chest, reminds Chad of the yakuza in the World of the Living world.

"So you're the Ryoka who invaded Seireitei this time? Surrender and come with me," Sajin Komamura said.

"Seventh Division ..." Chad saw the numbers showing on Sajin Komamura's haori as he arrived. "I'm sorry, but I can't give up on a promise I made to a friend!"

Helping Ichigo rescue Rukia was the promise all of Ichigo.

"To fulfill your promise with your own life?" Komamura slowly drew his Zanpakuto, his mask concealing his expression. "This old man, I've come to admire you somewhat."

Sajin Komamura was a man who upheld loyalty and righteousness as his life's belief, dedicating his entire life to practicing these two principles. Upon hearing Chad's words, Komamura's opinion of Chad began to change.

"Captain Komamura, please wait a moment. May I test the opponent's strength first?" Shiba stepped forward and said. The First Division required the Vice-Captain to fight together, and he felt it was necessary for him to act as the vanguard to probe Chad.

Sajin Komamura did not stop Shiba, but instead Zanpakuto, allowing Shiba to carry out his act of loyalty.

When he drew his sword from the shooting range, he released his Zanpakutō. It was a blade with a V-shaped blade that expanded outward from the handle. There was also a protrusion on the blade. The shape of the entire sword was like the character "Bu".

As Shiba drew his sword and Shiba, Chad dared not underestimate him. The light of Fullbring flashed on his right arm, which transformed into the red and black patterned right arm of a giant.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of spiritual pressure surged out from Chad's right shoulder. Chad didn't understand what testing was. Having trained with Muguruma for a long time, he only knew that if he didn't go all out from the start, he would just be used as a punching bag by Muguruma Kensei.

So Chad immediately delivered a powerful right punch, a giant's strike!

Sajin Komamura, who was originally prepared to watch the show, changed his expression the moment he saw Chad unleash his spiritual pressure. He quickly pulled back from the Shiba and drew his Zanpakuto.

"Roar, divine retribution!"

A gigantic arm appeared beside Sajin Komamura, wielding a massive Zanpakuto, and slashed at Chad's azure spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure shockwave from the collision of the giant's attack and the divine punishment swept over the members of the Seventh Division, forcing them to hide behind Sajin Komamura to resist the aftershocks.

The azure spiritual pressure gradually dissipated. Under Sajin Komamura's protection, no one in the Seventh Division was injured. However, Komamura didn't even bother to check on his soldiers and immediately vanished from the spot Flash Step.

"To run away from me, isn't that a bit too disrespectful of me!"

Sajin Komamura blocked Yasutora Sado's path. It turned out that Chad had activated his spiritual pressure just as his attack was about to end, preparing to escape. If Sajin Komamura's attention was even slightly distracted, Chad would be easily launched in any direction by the power of Fullbring Light.

As for where they might escape to, Chad doesn't know, but in any case, it won't be worse than encountering Captain-level enemy.

However, Komamura saw through Chad's plan at a glance and intercepted Chad at an even faster speed.

Facing the enemy, Chad had nothing to say. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, assuming a ready stance, and once again activated his spiritual pressure on his right shoulder. With the boost of the spiritual pressure, he attacked Komamura.

"Divine retribution."

A gigantic arm appeared out of nowhere. Komamura's Shikai ability allows him to use parts of a Titan's body to attack, usually the part of the Titan that holds a sword. The power is immense; the force released just from drawing the sword is enough to crack the ground.

Yasutora Sado considers his strong physique an honor, and the Fullbring he developed based on his skin also fully infuses the concept of power into Fullbring.

This is a contest of strength.
