Soul Society, West Rukongai, First District.
"Are you really that worried! Jidanbō!"
Following the sound, the door slowly lifted upwards, revealing Kūkaku Shiba wearing a white cloak; "In that case, you can come too!"
"Empty... Miss Kukaku!"
"Yo!" Kūkaku Shiba said hello and walked over.
"What... what's wrong, Miss Kukaku!" Jidanbō asked; "What do you want from me?"
"You have been lying down for five or six days, you must feel very bored! Jidanbō, come with me for a walk! I have something to do with that guy Yoruichi!"
Kūkaku Shiba chuckled, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes. Is there a final duel? Let me join in! After all, I am also the former captain Tenth Division!
······
Below Soul Society, Seireitei, Sōkyoku Hill, in the dense forest.
Like a bird flying high, a figure flashed between the trees, light and fluttering, with long purple hair tied into a high ponytail, wheat-colored skin, and golden eyes full of agility and smiles. It was Yoruichi Shihōin.
Behind him, Soi Fon followed closely, not satisfied with the speed at all, his white face was tense, and his eyes that were originally calm were now full of resentment and anger.
And in the sky above the two people, Shadow stood there quietly, his eyes moving with the movement of Yoruichi Shihōin, but he didn't say a word.
"Yo! Soi Fon!"
Turning back, Yoruichi Shihōin blinked his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, with a trace of relief in his golden eyes.
"Shihōin······Yoruichi!"
Soi Fon murmured this name, a name that she once longed for but was now filled with resentment. However, she did not realize that under that resentment, the longing from a hundred years ago had not weakened at all. Instead, it had become thicker with the passage of time. However, she had placed these in the deepest corner of her heart, in a corner that could not be discovered.
Yoruichi Shihōin did not use all his strength, so Soi Fon quickly caught up with him. The figures of the two people kept shuttling between the woods, and the sounds of "shushua!" could not be heard.
Looking at Yoruichi Shihōin not far in front of him, Soi Fon suddenly gritted his teeth, jumped up suddenly, and kicked him directly.
As if he was aware of Soi Fon's attack, Yoruichi Shihōin didn't even look back. He turned his body with his right foot as the fulcrum, and with a sound of "Bang!", the two people's feet collided hard together.
Relying on the inertia of their own strength, they stepped back and stood firm on the tree trunks. Neither Yoruichi Shihōin nor Soi Fon noticed that where the two people just met, a green leaf was neatly broken into pieces as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon. Obviously, both of them had completely concentrated their power on one point, showing excellent control.
"I see, even if you have lived in seclusion for a long time, it does not mean that your skills have improved!" Soi Fon stared at Yoruichi Shihōin and said.
"I think you... seem to have regressed a bit!" Yoruichi Shihōin chuckled.
"That Ryoka's cloak has Shihōin's family crest on it. You gave it to him, right?" Soi Fon's eyes became different.
"Yes! If you can't fly, you can't save Rukia!" Yoruichi Shihōin answered with a faint smile, holding his hands on his chest.
"Shihōin, who is equipped with God-given weapons, has also fallen! If others find out that you helped Ryoka, Shihōin, one of the Four Great Noble Familiess, will also be discredited!" Soi Fon said disdainfully; "Just like the decline of the Shiba Family, the appearance of famous people in decline is really unbearable to watch!"
"You talk a lot today!" Yoruichi Shihōin chuckled; "Are you excited to see the long-lost senior who was once your idol? Or are you venting your lifelong depression! Stealth Force Commander-in-Chief!"
Looking at Soi Fon, whose brows were frowning more and more because of his words, Yoruichi Shihōin laughed and said, "Is my servant's burden so heavy for you?"
"Don't get carried away!" Soi Fon looked straight, put his right hand on Zanpakutō behind his waist, and said with murderous intent; "Don't always think that you are above us, I am the president of Stealth Force and Punishment Force now!"
"Your era has ended long ago, Yoruichi Shihōin!!!"
Soi Fon shouted loudly, pulled out Zanpakutō fiercely, and inserted his backhand into the tree trunk in front of him.
At that moment, Yoruichi Shihōin's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt, just for a moment, that the surrounding open space and tree trunks were covered with Punishment Force team members who were all wrapped up, with only one pair of eyes exposed. There were many Punishment Force members, at least around a hundred.
There was indifference in their eyes. The way they looked at Yoruichi Shihōin, there was a hint of respect in the indifference. Even if they defected, Yoruichi Shihōin was still the Punishment Force of his predecessor. E General Commander, what should I say? Yoruichi Shihōin is also the contemporary head of the family of Shihōin. However, orders are orders, and they cannot resist...
"This is the difference between me and you now. Let me tell you, when the Punishment Force regiment commander pulls out the knife, it means that the execution is about to begin!" Soi Fon stood up straight and said sternly; "It is expressly stipulated that everyone who opposes the Punishment Force regiment commander, even... the former regiment commander!"
"Really!" Yoruichi Shihōin smiled; "It turns out that I have been gone for a hundred years, and Punishment Force has also reformed!"
Silently, Shadow appeared in front of Yoruichi Shihōin, looking at Soi Fon with cold eyes.
"Oh! It's Shadow!" Soi Fon's eyes were solemn, but he said without any sign of weakness; "I haven't shown up for so long. For you who are inseparable from Yoruichi Shihōin, it's really strange. I thought you had abandoned her!"
"Soi Fon, you have gone too far! Lady Yoruichi she..."
"Shadow!" Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly spoke; "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to interfere!"
"Sorry, Lady Yoruichi!" Shadow looked around and said, "I just don't want some people to hinder you!"
"Stop it!" Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly sighed and said; "No matter what, this is a battle between me and Soi Fon, Shadow, promise me not to interfere, even if I am injured by Soi Fon..."
"Yes, I understand, Lady Yoruichi!"
Yoruichi Shihōin's resolute tone reminded Shadow of that time more than a hundred years ago. Hueco Mundo shook his head and Shadow responded and disappeared in a flash.
"Do you really don't need him to intervene?" Soi Fon sneered; "Is this okay?"
"What's so bad!" Yoruichi Shihōin asked.
"Isn't it?" Soi Fon sneered; "Without him to protect you, you have no way to escape after abandoning the title of Legion Commander, Yoruichi!"
"Tsk!"
Yoruichi Shihōin laughed in a low voice. For a moment, the figure began to blur, as if there were countless figures flashing rapidly. At the same time, there were screams, and all the Punishment Force team members flew backwards.
In just the blink of an eye, the figure of Yoruichi Shihōin became clear on the spot again, as if it had never moved. However, the Punishment Force team members scattered on the ground and unable to get up proved that this scene really happened.
"I've been underestimated! I've never been Yoruichi Shihōin who only relied on Shadow! Besides, I did abandon the position of legion commander!" As he said that, Yoruichi Shihōin raised his head and chuckled; "But, I didn't remember to abandon the other title too!"
"Dark Night Princess!" Soi Fon stared; "Flash God······Yoruichi!"
"Well! Needless to say the first one!" Yoruichi Shihōin tilted his head and said, "That's what others call it, it doesn't matter!"
"Really!" He grabbed his shoulders directly, pulled off his clothes with a little force, Soi Fon sneered, "I see, then there is nothing we can do!"
As Soi Fon spoke, he pulled Captain's Haori off his body and frowned, "Let me... take off your other title with my own hands!"
He threw away Captain's Haori casually, revealing the Punishment Battle Attire that was just like what Yoruichi Shihōin was wearing a hundred years ago, without sleeves and back.
"Stealth Force is the Punishment Battle Attire commander of the commanding army!" Yoruichi Shihōin curled up his lips; "What a nostalgic battle outfit!"
"Does it remind you of the old days?" Soi Fon sneered.
"A little bit!" Yoruichi Shihōin responded.
"You're welcome, think about it carefully! Then compare it carefully! You and me... who is the better warrior in the end!"
