After returning to Shihōin, Shadow went to see Anko Mitarashi, then sat in the hall, waiting for Yoruichi Shihōin to come back from Ran'Tao, while listening to the news from Punishment Force.
Zanpakutō appeared, but the result was not very good. Only Zanpakutō Five Elements Head of Ōmaeda Marechiyo was captured. Afterwards, it was sent to the Technology Development Bureau and handed over to Mayuri Kurotsuchi for research.
However, just before dawn, two more news came. Toshiro Hitsugaya recovered his Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru, but was injured and temporarily lost the ability to fight. Another news was that Byakuya Kuchiki appeared.
But his appearance actually rescued Haineko and Tobiume who were defeated by Rangiku Matsumoto and Momo Hinamori. He not only injured the Bleach team member who was escorting them to Seireitei, but also drew a knife on Ichigo Kurosaki.
Then, at dawn, the story of Byakuya Kuchiki's betrayal of Bleach was spread. Renji Abarai could never believe that his captain would betray Bleach. However, as Ichigo Kurosaki said, no matter what difficulties Byakuya Kuchiki had, it was an indisputable fact that his swords were facing each other.
Subsequently, Technology Development Bureau received another bleak report. Once the materialized Zanpakutō was damaged by someone other than its owner, there was a high possibility that it could never be restored. This also meant that the Bleach side was unable to fight with all its strength.
Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai came to Shihōin to find Shadow. However, Shadow had no time to pay attention to this situation, and he had no intention of interfering at all. Byakuya Kuchiki had his own ideas. Regarding the master, he chose to trust his disciples.
Moreover, Shadow is also troubled now!
Yoruichi Shihōin has not come back yet. He sent Punishment Force to Ran'Tao, but the reply was that Yoruichi Shihōin left last night. This is obviously wrong. With the speed of Yoruichi Shihōin, it is absolutely impossible that he has not seen anyone yet. So, what went wrong!
It's not that Shadow doesn't believe in Yoruichi Shihōin's ability, it's just that these are troubled times, and Eroding Wolf is also eyeing Yoruichi Shihōin. He couldn't let go and was very upset. He shouldn't have let Yoruichi Shihōin leave his side in the first place. Thinking about it, Shadow immediately stood up, but was stopped by Anko Mitarashi as expected.
"That woman will come back!"
Holding Shadow's waist, Anko Mitarashi's little face was pressed against Shadow's back, saying softly, "It's okay, don't worry, Little Wolf... won't kill him!"
"It turns out... it's true! You guys..."
······
At the same time, Soul Society, Rukongai, the fifth district mountain forest.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Yoruichi Shihōin was standing on a slightly higher rock, placing one hand on his forehead and looking down, his wheat-colored face full of displeasure.
"Where did that snake go? I've been looking for it for a long time and there's no shadow. It's true!" Sifengyuan sighed helplessly and jumped off the stone. "I'm really stupid. I followed this broken snake so far. Shadow must be dying of panic now! It's better to go back!"
Shaking his head, Yoruichi Shihōin was about to go back, but in vain, a familiar Reiatsu faintly came, with an aura similar to an enchantment.
"This is Reiatsu from Old Man Yama!!!"
The forward steps stopped suddenly, Yoruichi Shihōin paused slightly in surprise, turned around, and rushed away in the direction where Reiatsu came from.
"That snake disappeared when it got here. Was it deliberately bringing me here? But, that familiar feeling, is it her! Why..."
······
As the day goes by, the sky becomes darker and darker. Soon, even the last trace of light disappears. Another day passes, and burning torches and lanterns are dotted with the pitch-black Seireitei.
Byakuya Kuchiki and Senbonzakura attacked Sixth Division, and the battle began. Punishment Force surrounded Sixth Division, Soi Fon, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ikkaku Madarame, Izuru Kira, Yumichika Ayase and others all went out to fight with Zanpakutō. The excited Reiatsu and even Shadow who was in Shihōin could clearly feel it.
Sitting on the steps, Shadow closed his eyes. It seemed that none of these things could move him at all. Behind him, stood the expressionless Anko Mitarashi, as well as Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and others.
No one spoke, and no one left. The atmosphere was silent until the man appeared. Shihōin was not too far away from Sixth Division. You could feel the huge and raging golden Reiatsu. It was Kenpachi Zaraki. He finally arrived.
Although he did not open his eyes, the corners of Shadow's mouth were grinning, and the sharp teeth exposed reflected a cold light.
There was no surprise at all, Kenpachi Zaraki faced off against Byakuya Kuchiki, and Fang Path faced off against Swordsmanship. Kenpachi Zaraki always regarded himself as his senior brother, not to mention Gin Ichimaru, Byakuya Kuchiki's arrogance makes him absolutely not agree with this, so every time the two guys meet, they won't give up until they have a fight. In fact, as far as Kenpachi Zaraki is concerned, fighting is the most important thing.
In vain, Shadow opened his eyes and felt Yoruichi Shihōin rush to fight Soi Fon with Suzumebachi. Reiatsu disappeared in an instant.
"Is it really okay to do this now! Anko!" Looking at Shadow's disappearing figure, he was silent for a moment, and Kakashi Hatake sighed.
"I didn't say anything!" Anko Mitarashi jumped down the steps, sat where Shadow just left, and said calmly.
"We know this!" Asuma Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring and said; "But, what Luoshan said..."
"Dad is very smart!" Naruto Uzumaki said; "Although mom didn't say anything, dad probably guessed it a long time ago!"
"After all, isn't this our purpose!" Shikamaru Nara said; "After all, this is what we were born for!"
"Yes!" Ino Yamanaka smiled; "If that guy Eroding Wolf knew about it, he might be mad!"
"Don't say that, do you really think he doesn't know?" Neji Hyuga said lightly.
"I'm really looking forward to fighting him, but I probably won't get the chance!" Kiba Inuzuka rubbed his nose and patted the big white dog next to him; "Right! Akamaru, you think so too, right?"
"Woof woof!"
"We don't have much time!" Sasuke Uchiha looked up at the sky; "It's almost dawn, I don't know if we can see the next dawn!"
"This is enough now, isn't it!" Kurenai Yuhi smiled.
"Yeah!" Shino Aburame nodded.
"That's right!" Naruto Uzumaki raised his head and said after a while, "I don't want to leave daddy!"
"We are one, there is no talk of leaving at all!" Anko Mitarashi laughed; "However, before we disappear, I want to talk to that woman, as Anko Mitarashi!"
"It's been decided!" Kurenai Yuhi turned around and asked.
"Ah!" nodded, Anko Mitarashi turned around and asked; "Since Luoshan already knows and our goal has been achieved, there is no need to hide it anymore. Speaking of which, is everyone here?"
"On the way here!"
"Then let's get started! We have already promised Luoshan. No matter what the outcome is, we won't have any regrets!"
"Ah!"
······
"It must have taken a lot of effort!"
Pulling Soi Fon's arm, Yoruichi Shihōin smiled and rolled her eyes. Although she had just returned to Seireitei, she was a little confused about the current situation. However, when she saw Soi Fon covered in injuries and the broken Zanpakutō on the ground, she already had a rough idea.
He bent down and picked up Soi Fon. Looking at her red face, Yoruichi Shihōin became happy. It was still as fun as before! Soi Fon!
"Night...Lady Yoruichi!"
"What's wrong, Soi Fon!" Yoruichi Shihōin lowered his head in confusion.
"That, I..."
"Lady Yoruichi!"
When Soi Fon was hesitating and saying something, a voice suddenly sounded beside him, and with the sound, Shadow's figure appeared instantly.
"Shadow!"
"Shadow Master!"
Soi Fon was stunned for a moment, then jumped down from Yoruichi Shihōin's arms and scratched his face with his fingers, looking quite embarrassed.
"Great! Soi Fon!" He patted Soi Fon's head with his big hand, and Shadow grinned; "I knew that if Soi Fon said it, there would be absolutely no problem!"
"Shadow-sama······"
"I have no intention of rescuing you! Soi Fon!" Shadow said, looking at Yoruichi Shihōin.
"Yes!"
"You guy!" His golden eyes curled up, and Yoruichi Shihōin smiled; "Shadow, I'm sorry to make you worry, I'm on the way..."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore!" Shadow interrupted; "It'll be nice to come back! Lady Yoruichi!"
"Ah!"
Yoruichi Shihōin smiled and nodded. In the distance, the light gradually began to rise, and the sky was completely bright.
