Soul Society, Seireitei, Shihōin Clan station.
In the clean and tidy room, there was still the pale man lying on the bed.
Suddenly, Ying Ting's brows moved slightly, and then the man slowly opened his dark eyes like a deep pool, staring blankly at the ceiling above. He stayed blank for a few seconds, and then the emptiness in those eyes gradually regained its vitality.
Here, where is it!!!
There was a trace of confusion on his handsome and angular face. The man twitched his face and tried hard to recall something from his muddy brain.
Mitarai Luoshan······
My name?
By the way! Come to think of it, I should be in Konoha! Is this a hospital? Master Anko, Obito, Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru, tooth, Kakashi······
Figures kept popping up in his mind, but then they became blurry again, replaced by a figure wearing a black kimono holding a sword.
Who are they...
Why, so familiar...
He opened his mouth and let out a gasping sound as if unconsciously. The figure that kept flashing out finally settled into a pretty figure with waist-length purple hair.
Yes! Lady Yoruichi······
That's Lady Yoruichi, Little Wolf, and Kenpachi, Byakuya, silver, Ganju, Kukaku, Kaien, Hiyori, Kensei, Hirako, Ichigo······
That's it! I'm Shadow······
"Luoshan, you must be here! Although I can't see it, I can feel your presence, don't you worry? It's okay, you must not like how fat I look! But, I am living a good life! Yes Where is Naruto! There are also Boruto and Himawari, ah! You don't know yet! They are the children of Naruto! There are also Shikamaru and Temari, Ino and Sai, Sakura and Sasuke, red and Asuma, in short, a lot of changes have taken place! Kakashi became the sixth generation Hokage. It's unexpected! And Naruto finally became the seventh generation! He! He has become mature and is the hero of Shinobi World!"
"Ah! I've said a lot! All in all, I'm living a good life! So, you! Don't worry, go back quickly! There are still people waiting for you there! Live well, you hear me! That's where you should be now..."
Anko-sama······
Where it should be...?
The man murmured, and his confused dark eyes immediately turned into determination. He turned his head slightly and looked at the purple-haired woman sleeping soundly beside the bed.
Are you waiting for me...?
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was no coldness or flamboyance like before. Instead, there was just a slow warmth and love...
That's right! This is where I am, Lady Yoruichi, I'm sorry, I'm such a bastard! I say I want to protect you, but in the end I always make you worry, but I'm really glad! Because I met you...
Lady Yoruichi, I really love you so much!
His slightly rough hands wanted to hold up the sleeping face, but he was afraid that he would wake her up. The man smiled, took back his hand, and looked up, only to find that it was already dusk outside.
After getting up and closing the window, the man carefully picked up Yoruichi Shihōin, placed him on the bed, and pulled the quilt over him.
Listening to the even breathing, the man smiled, then looked around, took the Zanpakutō placed on the table, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door.
This is Shihōin, the yard where Yoruichi Shihōin lives. He discovered this just now. However, having said that, he thought he would say it in Fourth Division before. After all, Yoruichi Shihōin's room cannot be so neat!
Shaking his head helplessly, he walked out of the yard and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery and buildings around him. Suddenly, there was a feeling in his heart that he had never felt before. It was... Belonging!
Probably so!
"Dark...Shadow-sama..."
He stopped and looked back at the old butler who was still in shock. Shadow nodded without any surprise.
"Oh! It's you! Old man, it's been such a long time!"
"It's been a long time... wait... wait, you... what are you talking about!!!"
He almost bit his tongue, and immediately swallowed the words he blurted out. The old housekeeper's expression changed, and he screamed as if he had seen something terrible.
There seems to be something different about the person in front of me. No, it must be my old eyesight. It is definitely, yes, it is the "God of Slaughter" after all!
"Really!" With a helpless sigh, Shadow stepped forward and slapped the old housekeeper on the trembling shoulder; "I'm talking about you! It's really noisy. Don't talk about it now. You came just in time. Hurry up and find me some clothes!"
As he spoke, Shadow tugged at the white hospital gown he was wearing, with a look of displeasure on his face. In other words, he didn't like this at all.
"What... what, Mr. Shadow, what did you say!"
Being photographed, the old housekeeper suddenly came back to his senses, and with a pale face, he stammered and asked.
"I said find me some clothes!"
"Yes!"
Standing upright like a conditioned reflex, the old butler suddenly came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and looked carefully at the man in front of him who once gave him Infinity fear.
"Um, Master Shadow, the clan has long since lost your clothes..."
Swallowing his saliva, the old housekeeper suddenly felt something in his heart when he saw Shadow looking over at him. He subconsciously closed his eyes, his face full of uneasiness and fear. He seemed to have expected that he would be torn to pieces in the hands of the man.
However, the imagined scene did not come, and the old housekeeper opened his eyes in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, anything is fine!"
The man tilted his chin and said words that made the old housekeeper horrified. What does it mean to be indifferent! Aren't you always very picky? But, is this still the same God of Slaughter!
Different from the indifference and brutality of the past, nor the flamboyance and violence of the past few days, he felt that the current Shadow was just peaceful in a way that he had never imagined!
It was an indescribable feeling, yes, that's right, that's it!
"If that's the case, then please come with me!"
After bending down, the old housekeeper turned around and led the way.
"The clothes in the family are specially cleaned and placed by people. Basically, they are all there. Mr. Shadow can choose them by himself!"
"What a troublesome thing!"
He shook his head, but Shadow didn't force anything. He knew that the old housekeeper was still afraid of him.
Following the twists and turns, he walked to a remote room. Shadow not only curled his lips, but said that in more than a hundred years, he never knew there was a place here. This must be considered a failure! It must be so.
The old housekeeper opened the door, and there were all kinds of clothes hanging inside, but Shihakushō and Punishment Force tights were the most numerous.
"There is no way to do this. After all, Mr. Shadow, you have never been able to..."
After swallowing the unfinished words, the old butler's voice lowered; "Originally, Lady Yoruichi's clothes were also placed here, but since Lord Shadow came, they were all handed over to you, so no one mentioned it!"
Listening to the old butler's words, Shadow nodded. He knew better than anyone what he was like in the past. He was self-centered. Apart from Yoruichi Shihōin, he didn't care about anything and didn't care about anything.
He walked in first, and when he glanced at the dark eyes, he suddenly froze, and all he could see was the pure white reflected in his eyes.
"That's...Lady Yoruichi's..."
"Yes!" the old housekeeper who followed explained; "It was ordered by Lord Shan Qing to keep it here, when Lady Yoruichi left a hundred years ago!"
"A hundred years ago!"
Walking forward, touching the feather fabric hanging in the center, and looking at the big "two" on it, Shadow couldn't help but think of Yoruichi Shihōin at that time, and the few guys who had always regarded him as his companions. What a pity! At that time, he was still immersed in the past.
"Master Shadow, Master Shadow..."
After coming back to his senses, Shadow nodded casually, picked up a piece of Shihakushō from the side, and put it on his shoulder.
"It does need to be kept well! By the way..."
After walking out of the room, Shadow turned around.
"Lady Yoruichi is resting. Please tell me to go down and don't let anyone near the yard!"
"Yes!"
······
Put on Shihakushō, pin Zanpakutō on the waist, move Shadow's hands and feet, and nodded with satisfaction, not bad! It's quite comfortable.
What to do next! After lying in bed for three days, Shadow felt that he was almost rusty, so he might as well go out for a walk! Speaking of which, except for some places he often visited, he had never been anywhere!
Wait, this smell is...
The nose moved, Shadow grinned, and the figure disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Shihōin Clan, in the courtyard of the main courtyard, which is the courtyard where Shihōin Shanqing lives, under a towering tree that has existed for unknown years, two slightly older figures are chatting about something. The table is filled with fruits, snacks and drinks.
Slightly older is just a relative term. After all, Soul Society's years are Infinity's long, just like First Division's old man, isn't he just an antique who has lived for two thousand years?
The slightly younger one among the two is Shihōin Shanqing, who also has half-white hair, but he is indeed very young, compared to Ginrei Kuchiki who has been retired for more than fifty years and has never appeared in public again.
Behind Shihōin Shanqing and Ginrei Kuchiki, there are two large icebergs standing with sullen faces.
"Oh! I found it, I found it, it is indeed you!"
A familiar, slightly low voice sounded, and a black figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Dark...Shadow-sama!"
"Master!"
"Yo! Soi Fon, Byakuya!"
Raising his hand and shaking it, Shadow nodded at Ginrei Kuchiki who was looking over, and walked up to Shihōin Shanqing who was drinking with a straight face.
"It's been so long! Master Shan Qing!!!"
"Pfft... cough cough!!!"
Immediately, Ginrei Kuchiki was sprayed in the face. Shihōin Shanqing covered his chest, coughed and his face turned red. He jumped up as if his hair was exploding and pointed at Shadow tremblingly.
"You... what are you talking about, say it again, bastard boy, what did you call me..."
It's not that I can't hear clearly because I'm old, but it's because I hear so clearly that I'm shocked. Sir, sir, this kid actually calls him sir. Isn't it always like "Hey!"
"Master Shan Qing!" Shadow curled his lips; "Is there any problem!"
"There is a problem, how can there be no problem!" Shihōin Shanqing went crazy; "The problem is huge, that bastard Shadow would never say such a thing!!!"
"It's so noisy!" Shadow licked his ears that were buzzing from the shock, "I made a lot of determination to say it. What was your reaction? Is it okay to just keep calling you old man?"
"Really!"
No longer paying attention to a certain Shihōin old man who became more and more nervous after hearing this, Shadow turned around and left.
"Hey! Soi Fon, and Byakuya, come with me!"
"Yes!"
After looking at each other, Byakuya Kuchiki and Soi Fon also had many questions and confusions, but they still followed, and the three figures quickly disappeared from sight.
Shihōin Shanqing, who was originally frantic, immediately calmed down and looked at the place where the three disappeared and smiled.
"Well! I originally wanted to teach that boy a lesson, but now it seems I don't need to!"
"Yes! No need! I said Shan Qing······"
An obviously low and depressed voice sounded.
"What are you doing! Ginrei!"
Shihōin Shanqing turned around and saw Ginrei Kuchiki's extremely dark face. He immediately recalled what he had done and suddenly let out a wail.
"Shadow, you bastard!!!"
······
Walking on the street with arms folded, Shadow, dressed in Shihakushō, suddenly sneezed.
"Master!" Byakuya Kuchiki stepped forward.
"Sir, you should go back and rest! After all, you have just woken up!" Soi Fon advised.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shadow rubbed his nose and waved his hand casually; "Old man Shan Qing must have missed me!"
"No, you are worrying too much. This is the only thing you will never do!"
Soi Fon twitched the corners of his mouth, muttering silently in his heart. Recalling Shihōin Shanqing's reaction just now, his crazy look, his shoulders suddenly twitched, and it took a lot of effort not to make himself laugh out loud. Even Byakuya Kuchiki beside him was twitching in the corners of his eyes. Then he remembered that because he was too surprised, he forgot about his grandfather who was sprayed in the face.
"Hey!" Shadow lowered his head, revealing some sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth.
No, this kind of reaction...
Soi Fon and Byakuya Kuchiki paused in their steps, with astonishment on their faces. This... couldn't be... intentional!
It must be intentional!
"Haha!" Shadow grinned; "Who asked that stupid old man to deliberately pretend that he can't see me! Haha..."
"······"
Swallowing, Soi Fon and Byakuya Kuchiki twitched the corners of their mouths, with cold sweat on their faces, and were speechless...
"Ah!"
In vain, Shadow stopped as if he noticed something.
"What's wrong, sir!" Soi Fon asked strangely.
"Hey! I said Soi Fon, Byakuya!" Shadow pulled a face and turned back slowly; "I lay in bed for three days, right!"
"Ah!"
"So, have you brought any money?"
"Ah!!!"
"Ah what!"
Looking at the two stiff people behind him with a sullen face, Shadow was extremely unhappy.
"You two are so stupid, a noble and a captain, you go out without any money!"
"That's why we need to take it with us! We don't do anything outside!"
Soi Fon murmured in his heart, and he and Byakuya Kuchiki looked at each other and sighed.
The current Shadow, how can I put it! It really... won't make people feel bored!
"Soi Fon Captain, Captain Kuchiki!!!"
Surprised voices sounded from in front of Soi Fon and Byakuya Kuchiki. The four people walking towards them looked at the figures with their backs turned in surprise. Who could they be, who could teach Seireitei the famous two iceberg captains like this?
It's not Yoruichi Shihōin, it can't be Shadow! After all, everyone knows that adult's character, so who else...
"Ah!" Shadow turned around unhappy.
Familiar faces······
No way! Is it really him?
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
"Shadow Master!!!"
"If you make any more noise, I will tear you alive!!!" Shadow veins popped out.
"Yes!"
Renji Abarai, Shūhei Hisagi, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayase all stood at attention, their faces pale...
"Really!" Soi Fon sighed weakly.
"······" Byakuya Kuchiki turned his head, as if I didn't see him.
