Flash Cry

"Has the Four Great Noble Clans of the Four Great Noble Clans, also fallen into depravity?" Soi Fon stared intently at Yoruichi, as if afraid Yoruichi would suddenly disappear from her sight again, and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Yoruichi Shihōin, you really are an accomplice to these Ryoka!"

Seeing Soi Fon's appearance, Tatsuki breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yoruichi's appearance had completely drawn Soi Fon's hatred. Tsuna's choice was indeed correct; she was safe now.

"Team leader!"

Ōmaeda immediately raised his Zanpakuto and stood in front of Soi Fon. At least Ōmaeda was relatively loyal to Soi Fon, but his loyalty did not win Soi Fon's favor.

"Get out of my way, Ōmaeda." Soi Fon shoved Ōmaeda aside. She didn't want anyone disturbing her in front of the person she admired most. "Perfect timing, Yoruichi Shihōin! Today, you will all be executed!"

"Soi Fon, what's with that expression? Is it resentment towards me for not taking you with me back then?" Yoruichi said with a smile.

"Leave? You, who voluntarily gave up the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Stealth Force, what right do you have to say you'll take me away!" Soi Fon suddenly launched an attack on Yoruichi, her Suzumebachi aimed at Yoruichi's abdomen.

Yoruichi easily dodged Soi Fon's attack by sidestepping, grabbed Soi Fon's arm, and threw Soi Fon away.

The Yoruichi of today is not the same Yoruichi from the original story who could go Hakuda -to-toe with Soi Fon. In the World of the Living, Tsuna practiced his Bankai with either Yoruichi or Urahara. Later, after being baptized by Tsuna's Resurrección, Yoruichi's combat ability also increased dramatically, far surpassing the Yoruichi of this time in the original story.

"This is impossible!"

Soi Fon was well aware of how much her strength had improved, but why couldn't she even touch Yoruichi's clothes? Unconvinced, Soi Fon launched another attack on Yoruichi. This time, her speed exploded once again, determined to leave her Hōmonka on Yoruichi's body.

No matter how hard Soi Fon tried, Yoruichi always remained calm and collected. In no time, Yoruichi kicked Soi Fon Soi Fon, sending her flying back to Ōmaeda's side.

Ōmaeda, with keen insight, caught Soi Fon. Soi Fon, furious, flipped back onto the ground and shouted at Yoruichi, high in the treetop, "How is this possible? How could you, who is so accustomed to a peaceful life, possibly have such fighting power?"

Yoruichi touched her nose somewhat awkwardly. Ten years ago, if she hadn't used her trump card, she would have fallen for Soi Fon's trick. However, after undergoing intensive training and receiving some inspirational advice from Tsuna, Soi Fon was no match for Yoruichi under normal circumstances.

"Ahem, Soi Fon, I admit your strength has indeed improved a lot, but obviously my training intensity is much higher than yours," Yoruichi said without changing his expression.

"I will prove it," Soi Fon murmured, head bowed, then shouted, "I will prove I'm stronger than you, and your leaving was a mistake!"

"Is she stronger than me?" Yoruichi looked at Tatsuki. "You'll have to get past Tatsuki first. She's kind of my apprentice, you know~"

Tatsuki, who was just watching the drama unfold, never expected that the battle would spread to her. Even with her experience watching soap operas in the World of the Living, she could tell that Soi Fon's gritted teeth were a result of love turned to hate. Soi Fon was absolutely in love with Yoruichi.

After Yoruichi appeared, what should have been a comedy between Tatsuki two of them Yoruichi into a battle between them. Tatsuki could already imagine the kind of conflict he was about to face.

Sure enough, as soon as Yoruichi finished speaking, Soi Fon glared fiercely at Tatsuki, as if Tatsuki had stolen her life, and was simply her greatest enemy in this life.

Soi Fon's fierce gaze lay envy. She envied that Tatsuki could be called Yoruichi's disciple. Why wasn't he the one who received that status? Damn Ryoka!

"Mr. Yoruichi, please stop joking. Didn't you see the look on his face that said he wanted to skin me alive?" Tatsuki retorted.

"Haha, don't worry, Tatsuki, you'll be fine with me here." Yoruichi laughed, feeling no pressure having ascertained Soi Fon's strength.

Yoruichi's words slightly reassured Tatsuki, but completely enraged Soi Fon. Yoruichi had even addressed Tatsuki in such an intimate tone; how could Soi Fon tolerate that?

"He won't even call you 'Master,' how could someone like that win your favor..." Soi Fon muttered to herself, then roared at Tatsuki, "I wasn't planning on using this move, but now I'll use you as my target!"

Kido Soi Fon released a high concentration of Kido spiritual pressure, which gradually enveloped her back and shoulders, condensing into explosive power. Powerful fluctuations continuously emanated from Soi Fon 'Soi Fon body, and a visible white spiritual pressure appeared on her body surface.

Soi Fon explained as she unleashed her ultimate attack, "This is a tactic I created that combines Hakuda) and Kido). Ryoka, you should feel lucky. This technique was just completed a few days ago and doesn't have a name yet. You are its first real-world opponent!"

Self-created? Just completed?

Tatsuki's expression was somewhat strange, as if she wanted to laugh but dared not. She secretly glanced at Yoruichi. Soi Fon was able to develop this technique; it was possible that Yoruichi had secretly given Soi Fon some inspiration. Otherwise, how could one explain why the techniques she developed were all exactly the same...?

Yoruichi had no idea what Tatsuki was thinking. Seeing the Tatsuki look in his eyes, she readily said, "Tatsuki, I grant you permission to use it. Show us why the current Stealth Force Shinigami Uniform is open-chested!"

Having received Yoruichi's orders, Tatsuki had no choice but to obey. She said to Soi Fon, "This move has a name; it's called ' Flash Cry '!"

As Tatsuki finished speaking, a large amount of Kido spiritual pressure also erupted from her shoulders and back. Like Soi Fon, she concentrated this spiritual pressure in her shoulders and back, but the degree of spiritual pressure concentration on Tatsuki's body was even higher than that of Soi Fon.

"See that, Soi Fon?" Yoruichi landed on the ground with a smug look on her face and explained, "When Flash Cry is used, the Kido Reiatsu is compressed into the shoulders and back, so the Squad 2's Shinigami Uniform doesn't have any fabric designed for that part."

"It's a pity, though, because Tatsuki's clothes are her Fullbring ability, not entirely made of fabric, so there's no 'clothes bursting' effect," Yoruichi said with a regretful expression.

"Mr. Yoruichi, please don't make that kind of face," Tatsuki protested.

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

Soi Fon had lost count of how many times her sanity had crumbled today. The ground she was standing on exploded, creating a huge crater. Soi Fon appeared in front of Tatsuki and threw a punch.

The Flash Cry state imbued Soi Fon with a massive amount of spiritual pressure, allowing her to unleash powerful Hadō energy with every punch and kick, giving her the confidence to Soi Fon direct attacks.

Soi Fon wasn't the only one in the Flash Cry state; Tatsuki's hands and feet emitted blue spiritual pressure, his movements arriving faster than others, creating circles of blue arcs like flowing water.

Like changing the direction of water flow, Tatsuki deflected Soi Fon strike, then leaned close to Soi Fon's chest. A vortex of spiritual pressure appeared on Tatsuki's elbow, and Tatsuki struck Soi Fon's chest with his elbow.

A spiraling force pierced Soi Fon's chest. In just one exchange, Soi Fon was sent flying by Tatsuki's elbow strike – a vortex elbow strike.

"Team leader!"

Omaeda, who was watching the show from the sidelines, got anxious. Seeing that Soi Fon, who had used her ultimate skill, had been knocked away, he didn't think twice and directly attacked Tatsuki with his Gogyo-no- Tatsuki. His loyalty to Soi Fon made him lose all sense of reason.

There's not much to say about Ōmaeda. In Tatsuki's eyes, who had activated Flash Cry, Ōmaeda's speed was so slow that Tatsuki's only response was a rapid forward kick.

The Rapids Kick is a kick as fast as a torrent. When the kick lands on the head of the Five Elements, Soi Fon flies out faster and farther than Soi Fon.

"Omaeda."

Soi Fon was also panicking. At this rate of knockback, Ōmaeda's fate was unknown, and this guy named Tatsuki had to pay the price.

Looking at the Suzumebachi in her hand, Soi Fon only had one way to win: Two-Hit Kill. She had long trained her Hōmonka to be able to maintain it for a long time as long as she had the strength. Now she only needed to stab Tatsuki's right foot once more, and she still had a chance to turn the tables.

With a kick, Soi Fon instantly devised a battle plan, guiding Tatsuki to kick. She attacked Tatsuki again, but this time her attacks were feints, designed to lure Tatsuki into kicking.

Soi Fon maintained a very subtle distance; if Tatsuki attacked with his hands, he could barely touch her, while if he chose to kick, he would be right within her attack range.

And so, Soi Fon continued to hover around Tatsuki with her exquisite footwork. Flash Cry can enhance the user's attack and speed, but that doesn't mean everyone can master the speed in Flash Cry state. Soi Fon, who has been performing Stealth Force missions for many years, has far Tatsuki experience in Flash Step footwork than Tatsuki.

Yoruichi couldn't help but sigh. Tatsuki hadn't noticed Soi Fon's intentions and began to attack relentlessly. Soi Fon was gradually adapting to Tatsuki's attack rhythm and would soon get used to it and be able to detect the Hōmonka on Tatsuki 'Tatsuki body.

This is due to a difference in combat experience. Tatsuki should be doing now is not to fight Soi Fon head-on, but to use the environment to disrupt Soi Fon's offensive rhythm.

Yoruichi, of course, couldn't let Soi Fon achieve her goal, so she shouted, "Ankle Drop!"

Tatsuki didn't know why Yoruichi would shout that, but without any hesitation, she instinctively raised her leg high and slammed it down onto the ground where she was sitting.

The spiritual pressure exploded on the ground, shattering the land where Tatsuki was located. The concentrated attack caused all the broken rocks to be thrown up, and as the ground collapsed, it also enveloped Tatsuki like a flower.

The sudden change in terrain and environment prevented Soi Fon from continuing to circle around Tatsuki. Soi Fon immediately glared at Yoruichi, the troublemaker, when she was just a hair's breadth away from catching the previous Hōmonka.

"Yoruichi Shihōin, what exactly do you want?!" Soi Fon roared.

"Don't get excited, Soi Fon. I didn't help you," Yoruichi said casually.

Yoruichi Soi Fon's face immediately darkened. Yoruichi had been smugly telling her that there was no two-on-one situation, so was she supposed to thank Yoruichi?

Unable to resolve her thoughts, Soi Fon grew increasingly angry, but she hadn't completely lost her temper. Tatsuki could Flash Cry Flash Cry someone, it was reasonable to deduce that Yoruichi could do the same, meaning she had absolutely no way to defeat either of them, right?

How could that be!

Soi Fon still had a trump card. She used Tatsuki to Flash Step next to a large tree, leaning against it and pointing at Suzumebachi, shouting, "Bankai!"

"No! Stop her!"

Yoruichi immediately realized what Soi Fon Soi Fon was planning to do. She knew about Soi Fon's Bankai, and if Soi Fon used it, the surrounding area would probably be destroyed.

Two streams of spiritual pressure erupted simultaneously. Yoruichi activated Flash Cry, while Soi Fon's entire right hand transformed into a giant missile with a predominantly golden color.

After Yoruichi's reminder, Tatsuki followed closely behind, and the two appeared beside Yoruichi Soi Fon at the same time. Soi Fon lost her target before she even had a chance to aim.

Tatsuki swept her ankle, and Yoruichi pressed down; in just one exchange, they subdued Soi Fon. At that moment, Tatsuki's Flash Cry Aura vanished with the sweeping kick.

Tatsuki is not very proficient in the power of Flash Cry and can only maintain it for a very short time. Yoruichi does not allow her to use this move easily, which is why she only activated Flash Cry after receiving Yoruichi's permission.

Yoruichi gently tapped Soi Fon on the head with a chop to the Soi Fon and said softly, "Alright, stop being stubborn. We mean no harm. Let's get up and have a good talk."

Soi Fon hadn't heard such a gentle voice in ages. At that moment, Yoruichi's words were like heavenly music to her ears. The days she had longed for together flashed before her eyes again, and tears welled up uncontrollably as she sobbed softly.

"Why, why didn't you take me with you? I was your disciple too!"
